[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LXative:
Thanks to all for the feedback and you opinions.

I ditched Verizon on Friday and signed up for AT&T with the Nexus 6 and picked up the Gpad 7.0 in my package. I've been playing with the phone, getting used to 5.0 and setting up the phone/apps. I am impressed by the screen quality, and the performance overall is a much better experience than my Note 3. I think I am going to be a happy camper with my switch, as far as jumping to AT&T and getting my first Nexus device.

Thanks peops! :cool:

Awesome! Congrats on the N6 and breaking free from Verizon!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonebeatz1234:
Coming from a LG g3 and note 3 I will say that the nexus is a beast. The note 3 was OK I really liked the g3 and if the nexus screen was 5 inches I probably still have it. Coming from the note 3 I wanted something bigger and playing with my Co worker g flex just made me want a big phone. I looked around a only saw the flex with a horrible screen real grainy. Or the HTC max with that horrible camera so I settled for the note 3 and waited patiently for the nexus. I got the g3 for 200 bucks off Craigslist so I used that for a while then dumped that to my wife and sold her g2. Samsung won't see me for a bit sometimes change is good.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LXative:
Its been about a week now. and my only couple of gripes have already been previewed for me in this thread.....so no surprises.

My gripes

The camera sucks on all aspects. Low light is terrible, as stated in this thread. The overall layout/function of the camera and changing options is terrible also. The camera is one feature Samsung no doubt has locked down.

Battery life is noticeably shorter with the N6 versus my Note 3. Another fact that was pointed out by you guys, but I'm just confirming it as absolute truth.

One thing I was worried about also (by dropping Samsung) was the screen. I'm happy with the N6 screen, actually impressed. Now I'm working on my next gripe, getting ready to wear out the search function for it.......but after plugging my phone up to my PC for the first time, the drivers were installed but the device isn't listed in my device manager (Windows 7). Every other device has been plug and play.......going to investigate now. :confused:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvveith:
I have and use both.

The note 4 smokes and is very well thought out. No complaints, feels good in the hand and you can reach both buttons, Power/Volume with one hand and each are on their own side. The Nexus's hardware is very good but Lollipop just lacks many setting and features that most have come to expect in any phone. There are workarounds for most of them but not all and the question comes down to; Do you want to spend lots of time getting your phone to work properly or do you want to use your phone? I've realized that I'm someone who likes to use my phone more than try to correct/add features and settings to get the most out of the device. Hopefully, the big update coming in the next month will polish up lollipop, or I'll be using my Note until the next great phone hits that has the power, size and features I've come to expect. Granted, that one may not be using lollipop because some of the features that the manufacturer may want to implement may not be compatible with that version of Android.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghetto Geeksta:
Didn't have the Note 3 but I did have the Note 2 and I loved it. I know the Note 4 is the superior phone upon purchasing my N6. The reason I went with the N6 over the Note 4 is simply because I wanted something different. Most of the extra features in the Note I didn't even use, replaced the S-Pen twice, multi-window is not that useful on a phablet, the Note 4 is just a ton of work with all the bloat and locked boot loader. The N6 is simple and easy to work with, I'm happy with it even though the Note 4 is superior.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devo1d:
I've got myself into quite a muddle with my rooted Z1 Compact. I was prompted to update the firmware to 14.4.A.0.157, which I did over the air. Since the update, the device had been freezing, restarting and generally being unwell. What I didn't realise, based on a piece I read somewhere, was that this was likely or probable if the phone had been rooted. My memory is a bit sketchy on all the steps I took - but briefly - it suggested checking the status of the phone, from which I followed instructions using flashtool to flash a preceding firmware (xxxx.108), which it appeared to do successfully but now the phone does not boot at all. I'm now lost what to do next and I couldn't say if I've soft or hard bricked the phone. Another article (at android.gs / unbrick-sony-xperia-z1 ) says that if it's hard bricked then I need to flash the full firmware (not just kernel only). I've downloaded and installed Emma from Sony's site. I can get the software to recognise the phone but it says it is locked and I am in the process of downloading the Android SDK to [see if I can] continue this process.

I should have stopped and asked for advice before I did any of this. Now finally I am pausing to seek advice. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The phone will charge when plugged in, at least it is showing a green LED to imply fully charged.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devo1d:
Brief update: I couldn't enable USB debugging on device, as device doesn't start up. I enter fastboot mode when connecting the device (Windows) and I run "fastboot devices" in the platform-tools folder without an error however when I enter the command with my unlock key, I just get "waiting for device" (several minutes). I am assuming that this might be because I couldn't enable USB debugging on the device? Any suggestions on where to go from here?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devo1d:
I might as well log the antics of my adventurous mind. Given that I hit a dead end, I continued on the original path and used FlashTool to flash 14.2.A.1.114_Customized firmware (why this - because it was the only full firmware that I found). Anyway, thankfully, I now have a working device running that firmware with Android 4.3. I'll try and proceed to get back up to date.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdude:
I pulled out my G Pad 8.3 GPE a few days ago after it had been in a suitcase for a couple of weeks and as one might expect the battery was dead. I plugged it in and let it charge for a bit before turning it on; much to my excitement I saw the toast notification that a system update was available for 5.0 Lollipop. With the battery only at 2% at the time of the notification I decided to put the update off until the battery was charged.

Well now that the battery has been fully charged and everything is working as usual, the update has disappeared and every time I go to settings->about phone->system update and force it to check for update it just says that my system is up to date when I am clearly still on 4.4.4.

How can I get the OTA update to 5.0? Did I miss it somehow?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schalmers:
Hi, you can download the update from this post and side load it using the stock recovery. Just Google "sideload OTA Android update and you should find instructions,it is the same as Nexus devices. Just make sure your device is completely stock, no root, stock recovery and kernel or it won't work.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Gazdaman:
Ok, I rode my motorcycle through what I can only describe as 3 hours of 'monsoon' a few weeks ago.

when I arrived at my destination, my XDA was dead, as was my bluetooth GPS and my iPod.

A good session in the airing cupboard brought the PDA back to life, excellent I though. For a day or so it permanantly showed 100% battery, obviously an error, when I sat it in the charger it refreshed to show just under 20% battery.

I left it to dry for a few more days, took the battery out, cleaned contact etc, I even tried to charge the battery on its own in the cradle to no effect.

The phone is now showing some signs of charging, it's up to 66% after about 48 hours of sitting in the cradle. It seems to function properly other than that.

I've also tried a hard reset, not that I really expected that to work.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitsus:
Hello guys,

I present the problem. My XT925 now seems dead. A few months ago I received tamto expected update to Android 4.4.2 ... everything went well until now.

Unlocking the phone to call and all processes ranging android crash ... but everyone, I can not use your smartphone so I decided to restart it ... and voila 'since then remains locked on the screen "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" and is wrong ... does not turn off even.

Pressing on Power + Volume Down I can go the fastboot mode (but not in recovery mode). I tried changing the recovery, but fastboot me back "FAILED to Write".

In desperation I tried to restore the firmware 4.1.2 via RSD .... hangs in step 2 (write error !!!). I run all these steps several times (in the past I had the CM 11, then returned to the stock to wait for the OTA 4.4.2 ufficilae), so I do not think it was wrong.

What do you think? I'm waiting to discharge the battery to make other desperate attempts.

thanks

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokinator02:
If I understand correctly, you're phone updated without problems and then for some reason failed while in use, and because of that, you tried to hard reset it. Yes?

If that's the case perhaps you don't know that the combination of buttons to access recovery changed for kk bootloader . You have to press power and then volume(+) briefly, while still holding power when the distressed android appears after selected “recovery" in the first place.

If that's not the case, I don't see why you should flash “tz" file, since this particular solution (as far as I know) comes handy when the update fails flashing and the fastboot screen shows something like “failed GPT“ or so. Even more, your bootloader still unlocked -according to you- which is different to the security reasons “locked bootloader" when the update fails.

I say the best you can do is flash another ROM but, with fastboot commands instead of RSDLite. You may flash the

Jellybean version you had previous to the KK OTA and then let the update con again.

I don't understand why mitsus should flash gpt/tz files if fastboot screen doesn't report failure with it, any way, I once had to flash both to my Razr (which, at the time being was “security write locked up" stocked in fastboot screen screaming gpt writing failure). The thing is, I recall I didn't get the fr retail files (I was on JB FR CEE Retail updating to KK) but the Brazilian retail gpt/tz and it worked, after flashing, the KK update resumed and finished as if nothing had happened.
