Just wanted to post up that we just got done Unlocking the Bootloader, Rooting and flashing a custom recovery on a Verizon Nexus 6 using this toolkit:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-9-8-t2947452

Auto detected everything perfectly and then was just 2 buttons to completion.

Just wanted to let everyone know it IS just like all the others out there.
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
Give us a heads up what u flash ,I got hours before I get mine
[Nexus 6  General] dtmcnamara:
Just flashed Chroma on my brother-in-laws and its working just fine. Flashed just like my T-Mobile N6 so I can confirm that the Verizon unit is exactly the same phone, just with a Verizon badge on the back of it.

Just got mine rooted with wugs toolkit and will probably rock it stock for a little while.
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
Stock say ain't solo;)
[Nexus 6  General] e30bimmer89:
Haha. I was checking Chroma. I wanna get a feel for the phone first. So far, I love it. I've been with Samsung since the S3 came out then moved on to the Note 3. I loved it up until the completely locked the boot loader down and you couldn't flash a kernel or anything. Were stuck on stock kernel and no true AOSP. Gonna have fun with this one. Its my first Nexus device ever.
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
Quick question I read about OEM unlock coming unchecked.So correct my instructions if I'm wrong: boot up first time,go to developer options check OEM unlock ,bootinto bootloader and fastboot OEM unlock should work or use wugs but I kinda like fastboot method!Read about security settings and such also..So I wondered if I was missing something from old nexus days
[Nexus 6  General] dtmcnamara:
Yep. Boot into the stock ROM and unlock Dev options. Then turn on debuggine and OEM unlock. After than u lock boot loader, then root and load custom recovery. All in all it took 5-6 min from turning the phone on to having a totally unlocked rooter phone.
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:

Mine is on truck as well, they shipped 2 day and early, my supcase is here awiating it.

I'm coming from a VZ Gnex, but first time getting phone thru VZ online (did the $200 comcast card deal).

Can anyone run a Q&D on activating it? (I'm sure they pack inst with the sim).

My plan is to unlock this weekend, so right now till then I want to activate it, and begin enjoying it, then unlock, root and TWRP.

Now, I know that if you alter /system, future updates (such as the memory fix that may be coming) may not be possible, typically I just like to changeout the softkeys in system UI) right?

I'm fairly experienced, but darn if lately other experienced crackflashers have had issues with this (like trying to get 5.1 onto and earlier 5.0.x )

Lastly, and I wonder why no one else has asked yet - is the VZ logo similar to the one found on the ATT variant - Can it be rubbed off? (Or are we all waiting on the major blog sites to do the deed hehehe)
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:

[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
Frack me, verizon cant do anything right, had order appended to add suite # for my office, thing is half a block away at fedex and the order got cancelled, and I cant get another until the thing is returned.

You would think that they would work to get the order uncancelled and I could go pick up the unit ... F*ckers.
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
That sucks man sorry
[Nexus 6  General] teddyearp:
Hey RW-1, whassup?? Sorry to hear that, I've got my Fedex guys well trained out here. they know well where I work and don't weven bother with the address printed on the label, lol.

good luck

p.s. to re-iterate, there are only two model #'s, one for North America the other for International. In some ways creating this thread may confuse the n00bs, just IMHO.
[Nexus 6  General] thedrizzle:
I got advanced calling working. You have to go into the test menu (*#*#4636#*#*) , then phone info, and hit the button that says 'turn on volte provision flag.' It wont show that its enabled, but after you reboot, it will. You can then go into settings > wireless & networks > more > cellular networks and you'll see the toggle for Enhanced 4G LTE Mode and it should be on.

You will need to activate advanced calling on your Verizon account as well, if you haven't already.
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
Ya thanks I did as well
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
If u read the op I changed wording yesterday when confirmation because anyone been around long enough doubted vzw allowing a true nexus.. I'm going to keep the thread for Verizon related anything!
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
Thanks for link will include on page one links!
[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
Hey buddy,

I don't know but I feel cursed. I find out nmow that VZ's system auto cancelled it on MONDAY (no notification to me at all), and I called on Tues to speak to someone to modify the address yet.

The reason? Because I opted to have it shipped to a different address ! (work office, so someone could sign for it).

Ok, so now I'm without phone, but go to fedex facility, if I can get the box in my hands I figure VZ can then do something instead of me waiting for it to go back etc.

The guy there cant find it, says it wasn't scanned onto a truck, so wonders he cant call a driver either, no help whatsoever, and I'm on the phone now, because I think someone there has made off with it, or at least I want it held there until I can go back and then call VZ.

I cant even order another drop shipped, or pick up in store with this order outstanding

to top it off this will likely cancel the $200 comcast gift card- I thinlk VZ owes me big time here!

Now fedex called me and they found it, scheduled to go out tomorrow, but how can I trust that?

Oh brother .... crossing my fingers for morning delivery.

UPDATE: Happy ending, then the local station fed ex guy calls to tell me he had the pkg, and that I could come and get it!

Did so, got it home, unpacked, called VZ to have acc updated and activated fine.

It is nice!!!!!!!

I'm staying like it is until Fri night/sat morning where I'll install USB drivers and then unlock it, root and install TWRP.

[Nexus 6  General] Efrenjr15:
So if I rooted and all on my new Nexus 6 I just got with the 5.1 update. I can flash back to let's say Dirty Unicorn's 5.0.2 build?

Thought there were issues going from 5.1 to 5.0.2 ROMs.
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
No just don't flash an older bootloader u may brick the device.

But why go back anyways. Roms will be going forward soon
[Nexus 6  General] Efrenjr15:
So just flash the ROM and gapps correct?
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
Depending on the rom you may not need gapps and also u may need supersu. Just read the rom first few post on threads

[XDA Assist] TonyJoy:
Hi all,

I made a mistake flashing a Nightly ROM on my Sprint LG G2; it appears the ROM was very unstable.

I am currently rooted (using stump root), have TWRP recovery on my phone and no operating systems.

I have tried several solutions, none of which have worked so far including: using LG Flash Tool, trying to ADB sideload (which is the option I prefer, although my phone just says "Starting ADB Sideload Feature" and doesn't do anything else when I attempt this).

I had backed up my stock OS but after trying to flash the Nightly ROM, which didn't work at all, my phone entered a boot loop. When I went to the TWRP recovery menu, I found my back up was erased along with everything else on the phone, leaving only TWRP itself on the phone.

I am seeking your advice because this is the third or so time I have flashed a ROM and positively upset that there are now no operating systems on my phone. I have consulted many guides, threads, posts, and tutorials to no avail. Please do help me.

Thanks very much in advance :)
[XDA Assist] Heisenberg:
Hi :)

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. This might seem like a stupid question, but what's stopping you from just copying a ROM zip across to the phone while it's booted into TWRP and connected to your PC?

After update to lollipop did you get Google play service update to 6.7.76?

I've found out there is a newer version (7.0.97), is it better maybe?

Did someone have noticed wakelocks?

thx
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] _katho_:
First impression after about 1,5 days with Lollipop the battery is even more amazing than with KK.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kind3r:
Seems the same as KK for me.

30.5h with:

- 3h screen time mostly for Hangouts with some Maps, E-mail and GSam

- Location on with location reporting

- WiFi On, Bluetooth On with LG G R paired

- Took 36 flash photos with WiFi auto-backup on G+ and OneDrive

- About 8h without WiFi

- Plugged it once to disable smallapps

- Stamina mode always On with Extended usage and no apps available in standby (tho everything works as expected, including photo backups)

Usually I have 1h of screen on per day so it should get better on the second full charge.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] matthiastan5:
Regular texting, a little bit of calling, WhatsApping, browsing chrome, playing games like coc, watching YouTube videos. All with WiFi/Mobile data on with auto sync turned on throughout. Not bad for the first two days of Lollipop ?

Did you rebooted the phone after the last Google services update or after battery was been fully charged?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] oettaM23:
I think I have some sort of bug, today (first day with lollipop) Chrome drained my battery, with almost 2h of Sot, screen consumed the ~10% and chrome ~18%.

I have a z3, but lollipop ruined my battery :( It seems that mobile data stays active while wifi is on
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] xyzhunter:
I rebooted my phone after the update, but nothing has changed. Today have the same statistics also, play services at first place @ 17%, 2nd hangout @11% ...incredibile...and @ 5th place the screen with 8% (4 hours of screen on).

what is different is that today the wifi doesn't appear like ON in the graph (in fact should be always in this way when I don't use the wifi and not like yesterday which it was marked ON instead was OFF)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] krugu:
mmm ...after 4 hours screen on, how many % of battery you still have?

Maybe it's just a statistic problem :confused:

It might show always on if you have "Scanning always available" checked.

I doubt that it makes any difference to battery life either. I mean why would it? It adjusts the brightness. It doesn't do anything magical. Unless you had your brightness set at maximum before for some reason.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] MarceloRodio:
I'm not sure If I were expecting a really good battery but I'm extremelly disappointed with my Z3C.

I've tried stock 5.1.1 and currently I'm on a rooted 5.1.1

9% of usage in 2:30 hours, 38 minutes of screen usage.

Stamina is on, Wi-Fi ON only and WhatsApp and Mail unlocked to sync while screen is off.

Really think my 3 year old iPhone 4S was doing better then that :(

So your 4s does over 7hours sot?

Sounds like you have the worlds best iPhone. Put it on eBay and retire

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Chadie:
Hi all,

I was having an awful battery life up to 3 days ago. Battery was good at 4.4.4 but the battery plummeted when I upgraded to 5. Then I upgraded to 5.1 and nothing changed. There were a lot of wakelocks. So 2 days ago I:

did a factory reset to 5.1.1

installed only the minimum apps that I need

disabled LED

disabled vibrate

disabled all settings in apps that pull data online

i left google sync to be active

i left messaging apps like whatsapp and messenger on

i didn't install BBM

enabled the feature to turn off wifi when the phone is not in use

So far my results are promising. I have attached my battery stat screenshot. :) :fingers-crossed::highfive:

#9 is all that it took for my battery life to start behaving again. The phone wouldn't sleep because WiFi stayed active.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
Looks like with 5.1 ive now got about 4 hours screen on although I did use GPS for an hour and constant sync to Bluetooth smart watch. Also ive been on 4 percent for a while despite screen being on so battery may actually last longer than you might expect. I still got longer in KitKat but miles better than 5.0.2.

---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

No. Went to 3 and then 2 rapidly so 4 hours sot seems about what I'm getting . OK but not great.

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

Google play services comes up as biggest drain. Battery life on standby isn't great. With screen on seems very good.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Chadie:
Logically this is correct. I did another experiment; this time i had wifi active the whole night while I sleep. the results was actually at par

or even better

than the previous night where wifi was automatically disabled. I don't know what is going on. I will do some more experiments.

disabled point 9 in my previous post <-- only this is different

charged the phone to 100% and left unplugged while i slept

i placed the phone in the exact same location

nothing has changed; I didn't install any new apps or connected any bluetooth devices

i did not disable more auto sync triggers in any apps

note: i didn't get any messages from whatsapp or messenger.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
That is strange. With a properly functioning stamina mode in KitKat, you would have seen WiFi turn off while sleeping and the phone would have only lost 1-2% battery. I can't seem to get that same performance in lollipop
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] clouds5:
My battery life is great in lollipop. I did a clean install of 5.1.1 last week(factory reset) and my battery life didn't really change from I got with 4.4. (what I used before).

Still the best battery life of any phone with that size. For me it's 2-3 days regular use.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
Same problem

Lollipop battery life seems very erratic. Sometimes I can get close to or even better kitkat but reliable it is not.

Take today.

65% battery left, 47 minutes screen on time. No other usage!

I'd expect to be in the 80% or higher region.

When you check the stats google play services uses most of the battery.

The phone has spent most of its time awake.

Android OS and google play store use the most awake and CPU time.

On GSM battery monitor android system and kernel OS are using the most battery.

I'm not routed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sheraro:
Usage :

charged 100% at 02

light usage at work from 08 to 17

heavy usage at home from 17 to midnight

14% at midnight

Details :

wifi always on with 2g and when it wasn't connected to any wifi network (at launch) it switched to 4g (tasker profile)

brightness manual mode between 40% and 100% depending on sunlight

4 hour SOT

I recommend you people to follow op's guide

I kept location with gps only and stamina at 14% instead of power nap (but I ended my test at 14% so I don't know where it would have gone with stamina)

ps : I hate how LP show's battery usage, we can't precisely tell how much time it lasted quickly enough :eek: is there a mod or app to revert the old KK behavior :confused:​
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Chadie:
So continuing my experiments. This time I:

enabled STAMINA mode after battery finished charging at 11pm

'extended usage' in stamina mode is on

no allowed apps in stamina mode

There is still a 6% drop in battery but the meter tells me that the battery will last for 4 days (typical of stamina mode). Note that the phone never woke up throughout the night. I got the chat messages when I turned on the phone in the morning.:cowboy:

I've cleared system cache after updating and it seems to have helped, though it's early days yet

Sent from my Z3C
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
5.1.1 v 4.4.4

I've attached screen shots showing what my battery life is like using both versions. The standby time with data on and apps syncing is greatly reduced in 5.1.1. When you're using the phone not much difference. I'm not quite sure what's causing battery drain. Gsam says it's android system. I'm back on 4.4.4 and despite more screen on time have over 80 percent left. When I got home after work I was on 89 versus 66 with lollipop. Having tried different firmware versions I can only conclude that for how I use the phone 4.4.4 is much more efficient. If I disabled data when screen off I bet there would be much less of a difference. But that stops my SmartWatch apps working, and get no emails until screen on.

I therefore think either lollipop sends and receives data more or doing so uses much more power. Perhaps a new baseband radio would solve this.

On both versions Google play services consumes too much power.

Other difference is phone temp. Feels much hotter in lollipop. That suggests cpu usage issues. I wonder why some have so many issues despite factory reset and others don't. My friends z3 compact on 5.1.1 shut down completely after upgrade and wouldn't work for an hour. I then downloaded cpu temp and was over 60 degrees running nearly 100 percent cpu. It then righted itself and worked normally. There seems to be bugs.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
I'll test overnight drain with kitkat as a comparison against your test of 5.1.1 which lost about 6 percent in 7 hours. Just curious if that's normal and caused by cell radio.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
Thank you for comparing. I too have noticed that LP seems to drain more during idle periods. I know there's a thread that teaches us how to limit all of the background processes, but I honestly don't feel like having to go through all that just to get back to what KK was able to do natively. I'm trying to give LP a chance, but if this doesn't get better, there's not a lot of reason for me to stay with LP. The "pretty" colors can easily be replicated using a theme or by replacing the stock launcher.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Chadie:
this is my 4th night of testing. I didn't do anything except disable stamina mode. shockingly it only went down by only 1% :eek: never and wifi turned on throughout. This must be a joke. (see attached screenshot)

disabled stamina mode

let my phone charge up to 100% before unplugging

no messages received overnight

I'm on 3G right now; so for my next test I'll set it to 2G only and still connected to wifi. Next day I'll set it to LTE.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
Kitkat standby time

Battery life after 7 hours went down from 41 percent to 41 percent. Stamina mode. WiFi and data disabled when screen off. Not ultra stamina mode. No battery loss. Couldn't charge first due to a power cut. I'll see what it is tonight from 100
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
Overnight drain

With kitkat in stamina mode (not ultra) there is none. When I woke up, still on 100 percent.

Data and WiFi both off when screen off. Very little drain from radio. With stamina mode off and data enabled usually between 1 to 2 percent per hour. About twice as good as I manage in lollipop. One thing I have noticed is Google fit has big effect. If that's automatically on in lollipop then this might be the answer.
