Yeah, but usually it is one or two things. The encryption, the burn in, the letters falling off, some people having issues with tint, etc. Seems like lots of issues are compounding which is making me think they might not have tested this well. For 350 it is a steal like the N5 but when people pay double they expect more and rightly so. Sort of scary since I'm waiting for the n6 myself.
[Nexus 6  General] msd24200:
I noticed someone started a new topic on Motorola's owners forum for the nexus 6 today about his nexus fell out of his pocket and slid down beside the car seat and broke. To the OP was that you?
[Nexus 6  General] CraigP17:
The fact is... Any phone will Crack or screen will break if dropped just the right way or mishandled. That's the plain and simple truth. Doesn't make that particular phone more prone to it.

I used to manage a cell phone store and we saw more broken iPhone than any other phone... Does that really mean it's poorly made and breaks more easily? No.

And i do love the HTC Advantage one time screen protection. Coming from an htc I felt good knowing that was available.
[Nexus 6  General] kimdoocheol:
I don't think that can really be claimed with certainty. It depends on the amount of iphones in circulation in your area in comparison to other phones out there. All things held constant, people probably drop their phones at a similar rate so if one type of phone came in more than another phone I think the answer to that question is yes.
[Nexus 6  General] sahityag:
OP brought up his thoughts on the issue, no need to deride him for the choices he made. To each their own. I don't think that was whining, and it's good to know that the phone is delicate enough to be broken by a small incident such as that.

I also agree with the fact that a small fall between car seats shouldn't kill a phone screen (my Note 2 has done that on NUMEROUS occasions).

To all the people on here, what if you don't want a case on it? What are the warranties available for this phone? Moto Care? SquareTrade? Who has got one?

Side Note: The sad thing is, being Canadian means I am not even entitled to Moto Care (or Moto Financing --> have to stick with carriers who are trying to get rid of my grandfathered plan and won't allow Hardware upgrades). I'll keep on following this forum and the subsequent news as I don't think I'll be able to afford the Motorola Nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] Ironkidz:
I must admit that I think the screen on this thing is oddly fragile. I have broken one myself and the drop tests that I have seen fail where most phones survive. My girlfriend also has a N6 and her screen broke from dropping her purse. I love the device but it is fragile.
[Nexus 6  General] yohandesilva1:
Well well

I saw a post in phone arena saying that a user got a speedy replacement for his cracked screen N6 from google. the device was bought from the play store it self. Guess google is standing by there product after all :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6  General] CraigP17:
I will respectfully disagree. I will not defend Apple and their quality, but I do no believe they are any more prone to breaking. There are simply more iPhones in consumers hands versus any other handset...so you will see more coming back for insurance claims an repairs.

But one thing was consistent no matter the phone...its never the person's fault...its always the manufacturer or the person who sold it to you.

Accidents happen, take responsibility for them and stop blaming other or accusing.
[Nexus 6  General] Gungrave223:
Well this also depends on what Iphone it was as well. I cannot speak about the US explicitly, however, Android has lead the global market for phone OS for a few years now, while Samsung beat out Apple on the global market share 24% to 12%

So globally there are twice as many Samsung device as there are Iphone. But then you have to consider the fact that Samsung as also makes a phone for pretty much every price range in almost very country. Which is why their earnings have been down the past year.
[Nexus 6  General] kimdoocheol:
Dude, that's exactly what I just said.

It completely depends on the amount of phones out in circulation in a given area. If for example, you knew there were 100 iPhones in your community 100 N6 and only 5 people brought in a N6 and 30-40 people brought in a iPhone for repair, you could make that assumption.

There is too much blaming the consumer in these threads. Granted, I do not think most people break their phone and try to get the manufacturer to replace it unless they rightfully think that the build quality was bad. If Google wants to keep consumers happy, they should take the phone back, and use it as a refurb or do whatever. It'll keep the customer happy and keep them coming back. People have one bad experience with a company, they don't deal with them ever again. I know people who do not deal with Best Buy specifically because of this. I have a bit more respect for XDA members to somewhat know what they are talking about because the others will run off to the Sprint/Tmob/etc forums. Even retail stores like BB/Amazon/etc if the package is lost, they don't even blink in sending you a new one. It costs more money to get a new consumer than it does to keep the old, especially with how die hard G fans are. But yeah, in general whoever sold you it they should be the one you are dealing with.

I don't know all phones are different in some way, shape, size, weight, etc. and all these factor into the durability of the phone.

[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
So I quickly scanned this thread. Didn't see a single piece of empirical data on screen breakage. So basically, zero relevant information. Applying anecdotal evidence to another member of a population is irrational. You don't even have evidence that construction technique is related to screen breakage (I'm guessing...guessing...that it is more strongly related to the demographic of the customer--no evidence, just illustrating a point), let alone that a particular technique is more likely to break all else being equal.
[Nexus 6  General] KB112:
As the saying goes ..."Thems the breaks". It likely could have just hit something in the perfect spot. We've all had those "Oh sh*t!" moments and came out unscathed. Other times, we were struck with a bad outcome. Sorry your screen broke, sometimes sh*t happens. Best of luck with it though.

I am S-Off

CWM 6.0.4.8

Software 1.55.605.2

(Let me know if additional information is needed but to my question):

I am getting the OTA notification for 4.4.3, but figured I would go ahead and jump up to 4.4.4. What is the best approach to move forward to get to stock 4.4.4 and then possibly try out VenomOne3.0? I am concerned that many of the various tutorials have been updated with new files based on the latest 4.4.4 releases wasn't sure if I could flash them directly or if incremental flashing steps are necessary. Here is the thread I have been walking through:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2723159

(which of the 4.4.4 file should I flash)

Also, side question. My phone never powers down. When I go to power off it goes to the battery screen and then to the CWM-Based recovery screen, giving me a list of options.

-reboot

-install zip

-wipe data/factory reset

etc.

advanced

Basically if you go to advanced in this menu, it does have power off option, but when you select it, it just powers down only to reboot to the above menu. Also when you do any kind of reboot from this menu, you get the "Root access possibly lost, Fix?" selection. I haven't had noticed any problems from this option when selecting "Yes - Fix Root (/system/xbin/su)" or No, but it's kind of annoying and I can't power down if/when I need to.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xsteven77x:
I think when you use a custom recovery that is just going to happen. I know with TWRP it at least loads up the battery charging image over top of the recovery maybe you should try that. Plus TWRP Is more supporter and more popular for this phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
Download and flash the firmware. Post 1, first link.

The inability to power down has to be a cwm bug, or a bug in the advanced power options of your current rom..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kirkers:
Greetings XDA Assist,

I have read a bit about Samsung locking up 8GB of the 16GB internal memory.

My used phone, just purchased, is already rooted, with unlocked MDK bootloader (the original one, so it allows full root control).

It reports 9.55GB total (both used & available). The previous owner installed a stock VZW NC2 ROM, which may explain the slightly larger available space than the 8.xGB reported on the web.

My previous phone, a Samsung S3 VZW i535 reported 11.95GB total. It didn't achieve 16GB either, but at least it only lost a quarter instead of half!

Since my phone is fully rooted, is there any way to regain some of the lost potential?

I know a bit about bloatware removers (NoBloat, Jumobile's System App Remover) but have not used any yet. Would using these actually increase the total available internal memory space?

Is there a hidden partition at work? Can root users do something about it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Perseus:
A portion of your space is taken up by Bloatware included by Samsung and Verizon. you may wish to review

KitKat Bloatware || Safe-To-Remove System Apps of 4.4.2

Typically that would free up a lot of space. Only on a few occasions, your phone's partition table would get messed up. If that happens, you'd need to reflash stock firmware. Please review and post in [Q&A] [ODIN][TAR] I545VRUFNC5 Factory and No-Wipe Odin tars if you suspect such to be a case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kirkers:
More questions...

Thanks for the links, Perseus. I happened upon the Kitkat Bloatware page already. I used it to run a predictive scenario with Jumobile's System App Remover, and it came up with a figure of half a gig.

My "Storage" applet in Settings reports 6.43GB in Miscellaneous files, but when I look inside it lists just about 5MB of specific items in the list. Is the rest of this somehow locked up in the ROM?

In any event, half a gig is far short of the 6.43GB figure. How much more of the remaining 6GB or so can I reclaim? And why doesn't the full 16GB report when I'm looking at the "Phone" partition on a Windows 8.1 PC when the phone is connected to it via USB? No matter how much is used for whatever reason, the full space (or something fairly close, like 14-15GB) ought to report in Windows File Explorer. That suggests a hidden partition is at work. Can I make this visible on a fully rooted S4 with an MDK loader?

The used phone I just got reports having a stock NC2 build and an NG6 baseband (modem). Would that somewhat odd combination account for so much space being locked up even on a rooted phone?

EDIT: Seems like the best way to deal with Samsung & VZW bloatware is simply to install a custom ROM. However, I usually stick pretty close to stock. The previous owner of my S4 i545 reported his power button became unreliable when he installed a custom ROM. On the other hand...

I've heard that it can be dangerous to load stock ROMs on an i545 S4 because you can lose your precious original MDK bootloader, the only one that can be unlocked via the Loki process. (I didn't do the original unlocking and rooting myself; the previous owner did it.) Do the "no-wipe" ODIN ROMs in the other link you provided deal with this issue?

EDIT: Just viewed the second link, and it specifically warns against using if you want to keep custom recovery, which I most definitely do! Are there ways of proceeding with returning to stock that do NOT put custom recovery and MDK bootloader with Loki Exploit at risk?

I've heard that Samsung's ODIN can be problematical. Some recommend an open-source alternative called Heimdall with a front-end app called Heimdall One-Click. Any opinions about that?

EDIT: Or can the whole ODIN/Heimdall thing be bypassed using a custom recovery front end such as ROM Manager, which I have long used?

I would like to be able to use ROM Manager app to select and install ROMs like I did on my previous smartphones (HTC Droid Incredible, Samsung S3 i535). Now that ROM Manager supports TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP -- v2..71 is currently installed on the used phone) will I be able to safely use that to change ROMs on my S4 i545?

Thanks for all answers from you or other certified RPs on XDA Assist! :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: RP moved me to Q&A, so goodbye XDA Assist! Anyone who can help provide answers is welcome to respond.

Cheers,

Kirk

[Nexus 6 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] garyd9:
The nexus 6 has two LED (enumerated as 4 devices - one charging, one red, one blue, one green) devices. This thread is to discuss getting them working with android properly.

Issues:

The LED devices, as implemented by moto (or google) don't contain sysfs support for flashing (blinking.) They are seem to support kernel triggers (limited) and brightness controls.

However, at least as seen by the triggers for the charging LED, there is some back-end support for flashing the LED. (I'm not sure, as I can't find the source for the "blink while charging" trigger.)

The triggers for the 3 color LED's are all steady on (or reactionary) triggers.

The shared lib commonly called liblights.so (called lights.shamu.so on the nexus 6) seems to be crippled and only allows controlling the LCD backlight. BATTERY, NOTIFICATION and ATTENTION led's aren't supported. Moto/google doesn't supply the source for lights.shamu.so (which was originally compiled under a different name... lights.apq8084.so)

However, liblights.so is trivial to re-write (once you realize that the google pre-load of android uses sysv hashes and not gnu hashes), and I've already done so to support as much as the sysfs kernel support exposes by default. (charging led attached to BATTERY, red/blue/green LED's attached to ATTENTION/NOTIFICATION.)

(I'll attach source later when I'm home. I can't keep personal android related source at work due to potential conflicts of interest.)

The remaining issue, as mentioned, is that nothing is exposed in sysfs to allow the LED's to flash.

Edit: I'll be asking a moderator to move some of my posts in another section to this thread (for completeness.)
[Nexus 6 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] garyd9:
a little something...

The attached file (lights.shamu.so.zip) is a zip file containing only a replacement .so file. (No, you can't install this in recovery. This is just a single file that's been zip'd so xda will accept it as an attachment.)

(warning: I'm purposely being vague in my directions. Don't mess with this unless you know what you're doing!!!)

unzip the file, and manually copy the .so file into /system/lib/hw (overwriting the existing one) and setting the permissions (644) to match the previous file. Reboot (you're phone will likely lock up after replacing the file, but you can still reboot from within adb.)

After the reboot, adb back into the phone and set the ownership of /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness to system.system. Don't reboot after that (as the ownership will revert after a reboot until after kernel ramdisks are updated.) Now unplug your device from any USB cord used with adb.

Until the next time your phone reboots, you'll have a functional charging/battery LED (controlled by android - not by the kernel.)

I've left the notification LED disabled in the attached .so file on purpose (because it's steady-on - not blinking.)
