[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datajosh:
Yeah, I've had the Galaxy S2, S3, and Note 3 and it's pretty hard to get a "perfect" AMOLED screen. It's either lines, spots, discoloration, or a combination of the three. I keep saying I'm going to go LCD again on my next phone but it never happens.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danish319:
Guys what do ul think about this... Is a replacement is needed?

1st is at max brightness adaptive display setting turned off.

2nd has brightness at 50% adaptive display setting turned off.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datajosh:
It's really up to you. Does it bother you in everyday use? If not, I wouldn't go through getting it replaced.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Would you RMA this?

So I'm noticing definite ghosting of the nav bar and minor burnin already on the nav buttons, but more to the point, the screen itself is beyond uneven. The other two I had with bad/uneven tinting were basically yellow on part and pinking on part but generally only two "regions", but with a much more pronounced difference between the yellow and pink parts. This one, however, has a less obvious difference between the pink and yellow areas, but as you can see there are bands where the tinting is all screwed up. I can see this when scrolling down in apps like falcon pro or reddit is fun with a gray backgrounds and even in gmail on white backgrounds. It's actually not as obvious in general use as the other two were with the pink area, but it's still annoying and disappointing to pay $700 for a screen like this. I was going to keep it, but now I'm leaning towards yet another RMA :(

Here's a link to a dropbox full size pic.

And I've attached it here (not sure if it'll compress it more or not).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irish1842:
That's frustrating. Mine is still just the yellow/pink, but like you said, problems with these screens are really noticeable in certain apps. I'm leaning towards trying one more RMA from Google, maybe sometime next week. If that one is still bad, I might just return it and maybe try buying one again a few months down the road in hopes that these problems have been sorted out.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Well there a plenty of people out there saying their screen is "perfect" so either they are not as discerning or I'm unlucky. I really don't want to RMA 25 times if there really aren't screens that look good, but at this point if the majority have "perfect" screens, I will continue to RMA until I get one that isn't screwed up. People have said the banding on my screen is "normal for amoled" but my s4 wasn't like this, and even with the galaxy nexus, eventually I got a good screen so I'm just hoping I'm unlucky and I'll keep RMAing in the hopes I finally get a good one. Sucks and I feel bad doing it, but a google rep before told me they'd do what it takes to get me a good one. We'll see if I have to keep RMA'ing if they'll stay true to that and not blacklist me or something.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irish1842:
Glad the Google rep told you that. I also feel bad having to RMA multiple times, but I have to remind myself they're the ones shipping phones with bad screens. My two-year old Note 2 has a flawless AMOLED screen, so I also expect much more from a brand new display. Good luck with your next one - hope it's finally perfect.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Thanks! Hoping 5th time is the charm hahah. Although the screen on my first one was nearly flawless (at least I don't remember having any issues with it, but the vibration motor was loose and rattling).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
I might just keep this one. While the bands are kind of annoying, they're only really visible on solid grays and while some apps do use gray splash screens, I can train myself to look away or something. At least the keyboard and all white screens look good on this one. In every day use, it's not really noticeable I guess. The haptic feedback clicking is getting worse and worse and I'm hoping the vibration motor doesn't wiggle loose like my original.

BTW, sounds like the uneven tinting is pretty much a fact of life if you read the Note 3 forums you'll find the same issues on that screen, and a great explanation of the reason the screen is kind of a crap shoot here:

My rma packet from moto should arrive today or tomorrow and I have 2 weeks to send it in, then receive a code that is valid for 2 weeks. Should I wait a week and then send it in and then once I receive the code, wait another week and use it just so that I can give them time to resolve any issues with the devices. Or should I do everything asap?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irish1842:
My Note 2 has no perceivable screen issues whatsoever, so that's the benchmark for me. Maybe I got lucky back then. But I also haven't heard anything about people with Note 4s having uneven screen colors. Sounded like the Note 3 had more problems in terms of screen evenness than the other models, at least based on the search results I was able to find. And with the Nexus 6, it's night and day holding it next to the Note 2.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Yeah, my s4 screen is my benchmark and it was "nearly perfect", but I feel like a **** RMA'ing if there are only like 1/10 that are of that quality and I just got lucky with the s4. Wish I knew how many screens out there are bad, percentage wise.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irish1842:
I hear ya. I've only been able to find a few threads out there with people complaining about this problem, but it's hard to tell if it's because everyone else has perfect screens, if they don't notice, or just aren't that picky :p
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Yeah, exactly. I'm guessing the majority don't look for it or don't care, but that it's fairly prevalent. The fact that 3/4 had screen issues for me, despite the small and probably insignificant sample size, tells me I'm unlucky or most screens have some sort of flaw.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irish1842:
What's your window for returning the phone for a refund if you aren't happy with it.? My only concern with waiting would be if you pass your return period, you wouldn't have the option of a refund if you get tired of the RMA process. I don't know if they have a bunch of phones set aside for RMA requests or not, so I don't know if waiting even improves the chance of getting a newer build with a potentially better screen. I might suggest doing it sooner rather than later - you could alway request another replacement if the next one is also bad.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustyrash:
Yeah I thought I was going to receive a return packet but I checked the email again and it has a return label attached that I need to print and put on the box and drop off at a dhl pickup point.

I'm gonna send it off tomorrow and get the device asap. If there is any issues with it I will RMA again and again until I am satisfied

Hopefully it will be good, a guy in another forum said he RMA'd and got a flawless device.

I'm assuming 30 days is reruns policy and could be stretched to 6 months. Some guys have 5 or 6 RMA's tho!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irish1842:
Sounds like a good plan, hopefully the next one will be perfect. I just contacted Google to get my second replacement, so that phone should be here in the next few days. I do have to say buying through the Google Play Store has been great. They send out a replacement device with 1-day shipping, so you don't have to send your old device back until the new one is in your hands. Just hope this one doesn't have any problems!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Good luck! I have had 4 and none were perfect. The one with the loose vibration motor had a good screen, but the other 3 screens I've had were bad in one or more ways. :/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustyrash:
Edit : it's OK I figured out my issue
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irish1842:
Well replacement #2 certainly isn't perfect. Still has some banding and gradient issues, but overall it isn't quite as bad as the last two. I think I'm just going to hold onto this one. No guarantee of getting a prefect screen even if I RMA 10 times. Coincidentally the vibration motor on each phone has been better than the last, so at least there's that :p
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Cool, glad to hear it's better! I agree, I don't think there is such a thing as a perfect screen. The bands I can see aren't too noticeable and are more of a minor nuisance. Not worth risking getting an even worse screen and getting stuck in an RMA cycle. :/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cardusan:
One of the largest failures that complete Android news media is failing to report on is unfiltered truth about Nexus 6.

I purchased 64GB version for $744 after tax (US) from Google Play and got first unit with banding ghosting lines (vertical and horizontal) all over the place. Called in, got replacement shipped out almost in no time - Google is the best. They did not care since they did not manufacture the device, but Moto should have cared enough. Second device came in and had yellowish tint more in the bottom half screen - no banding lines this time, but larger issue with uneven brightness on the screen.

Should I mention that both devices did come in sealed, brand new packaging but when I opened the both boxes, phones had sort of dusty backing like someone did not wipe them before placing them into the boxes. Also, front protection temporary screen foil was containing some of the fingerprints and smudges. After cleaning both with microfiber cloth, first phone did have few imperfections on the back - coloring of the case was failure to really do a separate thread on (same issue happened to a friend of mine), but overall everything else was really good.

After using both phones in total of about two weeks, both phones went back to Google - and I am for now leaving it to Moto to work out their issues with this unit.

It almost feels that Motorola had a concept but never really planned to launch Shamu / Nexus 6 - until Google needed something to launch since everyone else did... so what they did was scramble, and get this launched.

Nexus 5 was a phone that was done from scratch looking at case, etc - and even though there are some similarities with LG G2, still Nexus 5 was a unique phone, original. Nexus 6 on the other hand is not. Moto X 5.2 inches was just blown more, larger battery was added and some other components improved over X version but everything else is the SAME...

$744 for that kind of phone is a big NO NO NO and NO! Complete failure if you ask me!

I purchased OnePlus One, and could not be happier with it. No issues whatsoever (however, I did have them months ago when I got the first OnePlus One phone - and then passed it on). This unit now is indeed top tier flagship phones killer - not as much by specs it has but besides bit of great specs, price tag that no one can beat!!! Customer support is bad? Well from what I see here Motorola's is nothing better than OPs cust. supp.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHadley:
I have this issue with mine as well. The bottom of the screen is much warmer than the top, but it is blended well if that makes sense. I saw another post that mentioned there could be glue that hasn't dried. Is there any truth to that? If not, I may send mine back to Moto for a replacement. My vibration motor is pretty loose sounding as well, but I also had that problem with my HTC M8, and the replacement I received on that was no better. Has anyone that requested a replacement decided to keep the original and send the RMA unit back?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
I can't speak for the Moto policy, but with the GPS, you do not not have the option to keep the original and return the RMA. As far as I know, you'd have to RMA the RMA and wait for a 3rd device. I.e. play the RMA lottery.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHadley:
Yeah, I'm not sure I want to play that lottery, HAHA. It bothers me a little bit, but it sounds like the RMA will likely have some of the same issues, and could even be worse.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Yep, I know from experience (on my 4th Nexus, had 3 MB and ended up returning due to screen issues on the last two and a very loose and rattling vibration motor on the first). While this CW 32GB isn't perfect (some horizontal banding and premature retention/burnin), it's "better" and I'm afraid if I RMA'd I'd get something worse.

Regarding the vibration motor, I've noticed this one still clicks with haptic feedback when typing or occasionally when hitting the soft keys, which seems to have happened after a week or two of use :/ But it's nowhere near as loud and as bad as the massive rattle I had on my first N6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustyrash:
So I've received my nexus from my first RMA with moto. My screen isn't as bad as my original but it has patches or stripes of pink and yellow. I can live with it I guess. The vibration sort of makes a scratching sound but other than that its all good. Not interested in playing the RMA lottery at all!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _thalamus:
Third time unlucky!

I'm actually on my 3rd Nexus 6 now - all with this weird screen issue.

First one, a 32GB Blue purchased from Amazon UK had a reddish tint towards the bottom half, and a horizontal band about two thirds down the screen. The second one, also a 32GB blue purchased from Amazon UK had a fairly consistent screen except for a reddish tint towards the centre right. Those two came from the same batch as far as I can tell - manufactured on 16/12/2014.

The third one, a white 32GB purchased from Google Play, has a reddish tint towards the bottom and a yellow tint towards the top, and that was the worst of them all - this was manufactured on 19/12/2014.

When speaking to the Google rep, they suggested that it could be a bad batch of display panels, but I'm not so sure - maybe it's the way they are being bonded to the display glass which is causing the issue. I dunno.

It's kind of frustrating, but I'm going to keep sending them back until either I get a good one or I get bored and buy something else.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ert342:
Update: received my replacement, worse than my first, being escalated in the Motorola support chain now.

Just to throw my hat into the ring...I'm currently on my third Nexus 6 from Verizon. First one had a pink cloud in the center of the screen, second had a bum speaker, and now this one is noticeably yellow on the bottom of the screen. After going through several of Verizon's stock I'm trying an RMA through Motorola, it should be here this Thursday. Hopefully this is the end of this saga. I figured I'd let everyone know that even now, Motorola still hasn't figured out their quality control. Never had these issues with HTC...

however, my battery life still seems to be good, so i guess im not going to worry.

yesterd i unplugged from the charger about 6am. 4 hours of screen time, watched a bit of video, browsing the internet etc, and i listened to about 5 hours of audio throughout the day, and by 9pm i was at 29%

Yes, that's what I'm experiencing as well - that is relatively good battery life which I assume might be even better if android system did not eat as much.

Hi,

I seem to have a problem with my DNS configuration, I can't resolve any hostnames/domains.

All I get is a DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG Error in Google Chrome and other apps which requiere an internet connection also don't seem to work :(

However when I enter a websites IP adress directly it's working.

- factory reset

Any suggestions?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albirew:
If you have this problem with your 2g/3g/4g connection, you need to be root and have a terminal app:

in terminal, get root privilege:

su

then check your actual DNS:

getprop | grep dns

check for these lines:

[net.dns1]: [whatever]
[net.dns2]: [1.2.3.4]

To get rid of the dns probe finish bad config error, you need to change one of these DNS to something else so let's change the first one with google's DNS:

setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

And... VOILÀ! (not persistent, tho)

If you have this problem with wifi, it's way simpler and you don't need to be root:

• Open the Settings on the device.

• Select “Wi-Fi”.

• Long press your current network, then select “Modify network”.

• Mark “Show advanced options” check box.

• Change “IP settings” to “Static”

• Add the DNS servers IPs to the “DNS 1”, and “DNS 2” fields.

• Press “Save” button, disconnect from the network, and reconnect for changes to take effect.

[General Topics] Menneisyys:
It was half a year ago that I reviewed Paragon Software's breakout / arkanoid clone Another Ball, then, in version 1.8. Now that the developers have just updated it to version 2.0, adding, for example VGA support, I've given the new version a thorough try.

First and foremost, I need to point out that the new version is more or less a direct port / reimplementation of the Palm OS version, as opposed to the old, 1.8 one, which was a genuine Pocket PC (Windows Mobile) game. This, unfortunately, also means that, while it does support VGA on VGA devices (in Portrait mode only), it completely lacks in-game music. What is more, while the Palm OS version does support stereo sound, this one doesn't - version 1.8 still did.

All in all, in my opinion, the new version is NOT worth upgrading to, particularly if you liked the music in the 1.x series. Also, it's, in my opinion, not really worth comparing to major, much more sophisticated (existing and VERY good in-game music) titles like Acky's Breakout. That is, this title shouldn't be the first game you check out, should you want to play a breakout clone. Go for Acky instead - or, for that matter, the latest (1.1 as of now) version of BallRush Aqua. They are way better.
