Did you even try to get a warranty replacement from AT&T, using the number I posted?

It is 100% free, and they will send you a refurbed phone and you just send the defective one back. The people in the store get paid to tell you no, on replacements. I have done this many times. There are ways to make them give you a replacement. I have been an at&t customer for 15 years, and sometimes you have to think outside the box to get a replacement. I had an SGS3 that was having issues and they would not replace it, so I did something to the phone and basically fried the memory so it could not boot the ROM. They replaced it. A car battery works well for this.

This is why I have been buying nexus devices from the play store for the last several years. I have never had any issues getting a replacement with a new phone from the play store for any issue, just saying.
[Nexus 6  General] Jmaserang:
Yes I did they said do to the missing letter its considered physical damage and if I sent it to the warranty department I would be charged full retail price for the replacement device
[Nexus 6  General] zachsx:
That seems just ridiculous. Another reason why I left AT&T. Customer service was crap, I had to warranty my phone just a week ago because it wouldn't connect to LTE no matter what I did.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Pfft.... When the fix is 11 bucks even the argument of "you shouldn't have to" becomes pointless.
[Nexus 6  General] MoeDaddy:
It's not just $11 it's also the time, effort and know how to replace the back. That said mine just started to peal up and I ordered one as I have no problem replacing it but everyone doesn't feel the same way.
[Nexus 6  General] Imacellist:
Yes the cost is minimal, but when I spend that much on a phone, I would expect it to not have any defects within a few days. Just because I can replace the back doesn't mean I should have to.
[Nexus 6  General] MoeDaddy:
I removed all the letters and I actually like it better that way.

I will say that the letters are not held on very well and the adhesive is not very strong at all. They were very easily removed. If they weren't so deeply inset I'm sure they would have came off in the first few days I had the phone.

Anyway, I like it as is and even though I ordered an new back I may just hold off swapping them out.
[Nexus 6  General] Lucke:
that's true, but that can be said about everything. if you're not willing to learn (talking about all things in life), then what's the point of living.

the ifixit teardown shows step by step just how easy it is to replace the back cover, as long as you have the proper tools.

[Nexus 6  General] xpentor:
This is the first time I have seen letters coming off a nexus phone, lol , just get that back replaced.
[Nexus 6  General] 3's&7's:
Its simple...the back of a nexus 6 is a large sticker. The come on and off easily and $11 is way cheaper than me blowing time from my business driving to a store and futzing around with their exchange policies lol.

backplate issue

UK build of white 32GB N6 and my backplate has been coming loose for a while, no letters peeling off as of yet though and not as bad as others but still pretty pissed. Contacted Motorola as I bought it directly from them and I have to send it back to get it replaced :crying: not entirely sure it's worth it [IMG="taken on my N5"]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/L3F4dyzrXv-2ytTE5kjboaih5uR54ZDnBx_RfC9yETZnEzJR8YhmIx57qDt6zoYd9eS18l0qaoM=w2512-h1216[/IMG]
[Nexus 6  General] chase dowell:
Not an initial batch issue

I received my blue N6 last week and after only a few days part of the x is gone! To those who say this a non issue my guess is you didn't fork over $700 for this phone so I would have to disagree. Also to find out that the back of my phone is a giant sticker is very disappointing. I have a case with Motorola support we will see how that goes. Don't misunderstand me I actually really like this phone but the build quality is shamefully low givin the price. For this amount of money I want nokia quality polycarbonate or aluminum unibody.
[Nexus 6  General] icy_virtuoso6:
The $11 fix being talked about doesn't seem to me like its a permanent fix. It seems like its temporary and I wonder how often you will have to shell out $11 to get a new back sticker. That could add up pretty fast.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Still cheaper than the inevitable shattered screen that comes from using the device naked to start with.

Because...you can get clear bumpers or cases that prevent both sticker peeling as well as broken digitizers...rather than making yourself a target for the inevitable.
[Nexus 6  General] chase dowell:
Update

Motorola is sending me a new Nexus 6 with a shipping label to send back my old one. Unfortunately I had to put down a $500 deposits that will credit back once they receive the phone.

Hi Guys!

I am new on this forum, I want your reviews about a software. Lately I was searching for a software for windows that can update almost any android phone to latest android OS, I came to know about this website androidmagnet.com they are saying they have over 1000+ users and almost every device is compatible with their software.

Has anyone here used this software? please tell me your reviews :)

Thanks You :)
[General Topics] zelendel:
They are full of it. Not all devices are compatible and each and every device needs it's own built kernel for the update.

And after checking it out. It is full of malware

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
I find it has a little more lag than the S5 I had, not enough to return it. Maybe Lollipop might fix, or a small update from Samsung.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmx6688:
I guess maybe root will make it better. Or wait for OTA update. Early review do mention the lag and wish official launch module can be better. Seems not the case here.

i disabled as much sammy stuff as i could safely disable/freeze without throwing the phone into error mayhem.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmx6688:
So you root the phone and disable lots of staff, does it lag still?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshafranko:
Honestly the only lag i see is when clicking on recents button. It takes a sec or 2 to show. I am rooted, xposed, using Wanam, Gravity Box, and Blurred System Ui modules. Couple of my own mods and i removed all apks i do not use, froze sfinder in tibu.

Make sure you unlock development options by tapping on build# a few times in settings about, then lower all 3 animation values to .5 and make sure gpu rendering os UNCHECKED. Then go into svoice and click settings. In svoice settings UNCHECK open svoice via home key. Those 2 things should def help you a bit, and is pretty much as far as you can go without root. Also dl Greenify and hibernate all iser apps only. GL hope it gets better for you. If you need help with anything pm me.

T-mobile note 4 here, had a white note 4 about a week ago and in comparison, just as smooth if not smoother. Also sidenote, build quality is so much better, perfect screen and bezel levels, note 4 was uneven all the way around.

Press and hold on the home screen

Then click home screen settings

There will be an option to remove it from home screen.

Also you can go into development options and make the animation shorts.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blitz118:
I haven't noticed any lag to point of where it is annoying. You should just return the phone, and get something else. There are a lot of other phones to choose from, but none of them are like the Note Edge.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deliximus:
I am hating the metal. Same as my wife's Note 4. So much more prone to hairline scratches than the plastic used in previous Note 3!! WTF! I knew that going metal would suck except to satisfy the 'OMFG I NEED METAL" fans. ARGH!
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blitz118:
If you don't like the build/metal, then just return the phone. No one is forcing you to use it.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blitz118:
The build quality is not flaw. The metal is there to add strength to design of the edge. I had a Note 3 and the Edge is better than it in every way.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabooki:
I am liking the edge as well but too can attest to the lag after root. I have to mod if i can. But still worth it. Thanks CHAIN
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2wicky:
Stock, non rooted. It's weird any browser I use just lags. Slow response to any touches. My stock non rooted note 3 runs much smother side by side on all major browsers. Might try to maybe call up t-mobile for a replacement. Already disabled all unnecessary apps too.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terryYew:
I came from the LG G3 believe me, I know lag lol. I also have the T-mo Edge.

Unrooted - I think all of these were mentioned but here it is in a video. How to speed up our Note Edge.

Also my preferred launcher is Nova. In settings under "Look and feel" you can choose scroll and animation speeds.

Rooted - use the unrooted stuff and I also installed Xposed, one of the modules i'm using is Wanam, then in Wanam, "Security Hacks", then check "Disable Secure Storage" . (I don't remember where i saw this but it was either here or in the Note 4 forum.)

Since doing both unroot and rooted steps i haven't felt the need to speed up Nova but you may feel differently. Good luck!
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmx6688:
After doing all these, do you feel press lef button to show recent app is quick enough? I have not rooted and it has very small delay like one second after I press left button until it show app. In my htc one it resonse immediatelly.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terryYew:
This is it how it works most of the time. My daughter had an htc one and she told me that she never had a delay when i told her my complaints of the G3. On Edge, VERY infrequently i have a slight delay with the recents, with swype or an app beginning to open. It happens so rarely i don't think about it. On my G3 it was ALL the time, so for me, this is great :)

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Just do same as crapple, set transition and effects etc = off and call it an OS "upgrade" :p

By setting the Developer options > transition animation scale = off >> more than halves the delay opening recent apps.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmx6688:
Good to know. Turn off 3 items and recent app is faster enough. Also pull down menu is fast.

But I notice that edge panel switch different panel also too fast. I try to adjust those value to make it bit slow since I like the original effect. But no matter which item I set to even high value has no effect on edge panel again.

Could you figure out which transition value impact switching different edge panel effet? Like roll from one to another in original setting.

I'm crossing my fingers in hopes that some of the tips mentioned

will help rid my glorious Edge from the horrible lag I've been dealing

with the last week and a half. It mostly hangs up severely when

trying to type in messages, FB Messenger or any of the browsers

(Chrome & Dolphin primarily). Everything just freezes, sometimes

30 seconds to a minute+. It's Unrooted but even then, my Note 3 is

unrooted as well, nothing really messed with and is by far much more

responsive with a few lags here and there. Will see what happens after

some tweaks.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thuddome:
I was experiencing significant lag after rooting. I loaded the xposed xsecurestorage module and that stopped almost all the lag. I remember back with the S4 I think we ran into a lag issue with xposed and it was shealth and xposed not working well together.

I've now got my Edge running well, battery seems good and getting better.

xsecurestorage is also in Wanam I believe

Lag started to appear after a week of use

Hi

I just sold my note 4 and got the edge I really loved the fone it was quick and responsive and the edge screen has been extremely useful for me,

However recently my fone has started to stutter even while swiping the menu or homecreen,

The steps i took to rectify this issue was to

-clean the ram and hd using a cleaner app.

-Disable several apps including s-health

-delete unnecessary apps i dont really use

Still its not the same when i bought it new. It stutters now and than and annoys the hell out of me. I am not a tech wiz so i have no idea wat root or exposed or stuff like that is,

I noticed this issue started after i used nova launcher prime and i installed edge screens from samsung store.( I have deleted nova and gone back to tw)

This is my work phone i don't have any games on it (I use my 6 plus for that) , mostly social apps, word docs. spreadsheet and pdf apps

Is anyone else facing this issue or if someone can help me resolve this issue.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvaria:

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshafranko:
If you are not rooted and dont plan on it, honestly i would go to the store you purchased it from and show them. They will most likely give you a brand new unit. But if i were you i would read up as much as possible on root. Root is very very helpful and allows you to remove system apps you normally wouldnt be able to amongst many other great and helpful features. Good luck

Honestly my Edge was a mess right out of the box. Laggy, battery was terrible, Exchange sync was hanging up. After a lot of modding it's running well now, battery is good, could be better. The biggest lag fix was the Xposed secure storage module. Greenifying everything almost.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex1x:
I was experiencing major lag, I exchanged it and it's fine now. Definitely something was up with the previous one, TMobile didn't charge me any fees considered it defective. Good luck.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syd91:
I do not think I will be able to return the fone since I was on a business trip to singapore and bought the fone from there so it would take considerable time and delivery fees to return or repair the thing even though it has warranty,

Ok relating to the lag issue I realised that there are many apps that are not compatible with the edge on the play store and keep restarting which constantly affected the battery and performance (You cant actually tell they are restarting unless you have an app that monitors them). Once I uninstalled and downloaded an app one at a time, the culprit was Du battery saver pro and sound hound infinity. I had a cleaner something app which kept giving me warnings about app crashes before but i ignored it.

Now after uninstalling the apps the fone is back up to speed. so if anyone is facing lags on this fone its most likely some of their installed apps keep restarting without warning.

Attached pic of the issue.

Thumbs up if you found this helpful.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
You're either using very old apps or apps that you shouldn't be using in the frist place. I have 200+ apps that I have used in ICS, JB, and now on KK 4.4.4 and they all work fine.

It is well known that task killers, cleaners, and battery savers that try to shutdown apps don't work. They often cause more problems then they solve. If you understand how Android/Linux works, the apps you kill will just keep coming back to life.

To truly stop apps from launching or disabling apps that you don't want running, you need to be rooted and use the right tools to disable/freeze, "Greenify", or stop the trigger/event receivers from activating.

I have three Note Edges in front of me, from three different carriers, they all work fine. Lag? Yes, some, mostly caused by me rooting and using a 3rd-party launcher, and mostly a compatilibty with secure storage (solved by disabling secure storage via Wanam).

Were I you, if not rooted, then do a factory reset, and pick your apps carefully. General recommendation: Use apps that are recently updated. Do not pick very old apps. Disable apps via Settings/Applications and do not use task killers/memory cleaners/battery savers.....
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syd91:
I just checked at the google store the app update dates are not that old and I always use google appstore or sometimes samsung app store and pay for them using google pay. After removing those 2 mentioned apps my fone is working fine. There are no more hiccups, I really think there is some compatibility issue with the note edge even with some modern apps.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
I guess you can name a few $500 phones right? I mean there are a few $700 - $800 phones that can out perform the Edge. (Note 4 for one) But alas, we decided to keep the Edge after the 14 day trial, instead of returning it and getting a less expensive phone. And it is your carrier that adds apps you don't want and can't remove. Also Samsung is guilty too. Come on,do we really need another store? Why didn't Samsung put the apps in the Play Store? Why have its own store? But we love the Uniqueness of the Edge, and what it can do, that is why we still have it. And until somethings comes along that stands out like the edge, we will still have the Edge.. ;)
