I am unable to connect my nexus 6 with PC in Mass Storage mode. I tried multiple times with different USB cables but no luck. Phone only changing and in PC error shows as "USB Device not Recognized (Code 28)" error. Also phone not detect in Fastboot mode. I tried to update Google driver but no luck. Also OTG pendrive stopped working but still charging

Please assist.

Check PC - device manager to make sure the ADB/fastboot driver doesn't show an error.

Don't forget to switch the N6 in USB mode.

Thank you for quick response. :)

When I connect my N6 with PC via data cable no USB option appears at notification panel. Phone only charging.

there must be something like:

- USB charging this device

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Check if the PC is functioning correctly.

Connect another device. For instance a USB-stick or a portable harddisk.

When the Windows recognizes the other device(s). You may suspect the Usb-cable or the N6 (hopefully not).

Did you try connecting the N6 with another PC?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Assenssins:
Yes, I tried to connect N6 on my friends Laptop. but facing the same issue. :(

Rooted N6 (7.1.1); looking for benchmarks/chart info comparing ROMs/kernels

Hi--know from reading extensively here that you're not supposed to ask what "the best" ROM/kernel/etc. is--I know it is subjective. But it is really difficult for a relative noob like me to find:

A comparison/overview of the purposes of different kernels (e.g., which are optimized for speed, battery life, etc.);

A comparison/overview of features of different ROMS;

Objective measures--benchmarking? I understand this might be difficult because things are so in flux with new Nougat updates, etc.

I've looked at a few threads that purport to do this, but they're either incomplete or outdated. Again, things move quickly--I understand.

UPDATE: found this great thread on kernels for anyone else interested: https://xdaforums.com/general/general/ref-to-date-guide-cpu-governors-o-t3048957 current as of March 2015 But if there is something more up-to-date, that'd be great.

So just looking for some recs, maybe, based on what I'm looking to do.

My main disappointment with the N6 has been lag. Battery life isn't great, either, but I work from home and have it on charge most of the day while I listen to podcasts. But I'd really like to just speed up the thing as much as possible, without losing stability (or, of course, severely degrading the battery life). I've heard good things about ElementalX, Franco, BL14B , Despair... just confused which might be right for me. Any suggestions? I'd like to avoid throttling at low battery levels, too, and keep my phone unencrypted for max speed.

I'm hoping to take advantage of the new Pixel features, so a ROM compatible with that would be great. It looks like Nitrogen, PureNexus, crDroid, and Uberstock will work--am I missing any? Is one considered "most stable" for the 7.1.2 release? Feature comparison somewhere?

Do all of these ROMs support Xposed? I had my phone rooted about a year ago and now I'm reading that Xposed is no more--is that right? Are there still a ton of functioning apps that utilize it--should I even bother looking for a ROM that supports it? Are they still developing versions for Nougat and beyond?

I don't game or anything; I just play a lot of podcasts, surf the net, and love to tweak (although I have to be careful to stay at my knowledge level!). So I'm a "middle-level noob," maybe; just been out of the loop for about a year when I unrooted my phone.

Anyway: hope someone can give me some guidance. Sorry this is long-winded, and glad you have a "noob-friendly" thread where I won't get shot! :)

Thank you.

I've been on stock MM 6.0.1, ElementalX, and Xposed, for a while now, since I passed on the Nexus 6P and am waiting for the Pixel XL to become available. I must say that I am not in a rush because this phone has held up great. I'm on it all day every day for all the cyber and all the apps and all the coms. I have zero lag. The battery life is awesome. I don't know what to say that might be helpful about my setup: I have Nova Launcher set on "lightning", all the dev options animation scales set to .25x, and in ElementalX the readahead set to 128. I hope to not have to live without Xposed, I run about ten modules that I'm very attached to, especially Gravitybox. Please feel free to ask me anything else.

Ok so im late to the Nexus party ( last December) but loving it, one thing I'd rather ask here is did/has anyone done a note 4/5 port to the N6? It's a bigger phone and I feel could more than handle that type of ROM but I'm sure someone is going to tell me the reasons why there's nothing ( at least I can't find it) out there.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Porting Touchwiz is not possible if I recall, and given the resource overhead of Touchwiz it's not something you want. I'm trying to recall why, and I'm not sure, but I think it has to do with the Touchwiz framework not being portable to non-Samsung devices. Since the Touchwiz framework is necessary for any Touchwiz additions to function, unless you can port it, the ROM won't function.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbomodder:
Ok well thanks for letting me know. I think it's a shame as the N6 would run better than Samsung's phone but alass , it wasn't meant to be.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=6576153]jimbomodder[/MENTION]: But that's the entire thing. The Note 4 runs like a champ, so long as you don't run Touchwiz. Hell, my S4 had a new lease on life just by replacing Touchwiz with AOSP. If you could load Touchwiz onto the N6, it would end up with the same issues found on most Samsung devices, because the software is so resource heavy as to be ridiculous.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbomodder:
Well my note 4 died from the usual death of freezing and shutdowns but I do miss it.

Those steps, with the possible exception of using cf-auto root, are how you start. With an unlocked bootloader, you can fastboot (adb) the current TWRP recovery and follow instructions in the thread for your root of choice. If you choose SuperSU, it's as easy as flashing the zip in recovery.

Motorola Nexus 6 64gb variant

Hello all,

I have recently bought a used mobile phone after seeing a lot of ads on the listings online.

I need to set up the device for moderate usage with maximum optimization.

It is more than 2 yrs old. I need suggestions as to which OS version to run and should I root it or not.

My usage includes chrome web browser, youtube, google maps, gmail and few other utility apps.

Kindly suggest the best version of ROM and best set of accessories.

There is a slight crack on the display of the phone, the speakers are feeble, it has dent marks on the left hand side(the side without the buttons) for an inch. I need to refurbish the body panels, speakers for now, which I will try to get it done locally after sourcing the spares online. This is where you guys should help me out finding the body panels and the speaker-set.

I read that it is not getting 7.1..2

Kindly share your thoughts on maintenance and up-keep of this device. Feedback and suggestions are most invited.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hi... There's no best ROM. The best ROM is the one you like... Most offer extra features over stock experience, you should try them by yourself and see the one you like the most..!

I run PureNexus ROM on Nexus 6, Nexus 6P and Pixel XL. Battery life is average compared to others. Every people has different setup/usage, so your battery life could be better or worse than mine or someone else. You have to try by yourself. About root/no root, it depends. If you flash a Nougat 7.x.x ROM you'll have to flash TWRP first. If you want TWRP to stick, you'll have to flash a SuperUser. Otherwise it will be overwritten by stock recovery during next boot. You can find relevant infos on the forum.

If you are looking for parts, you can try looking here:

https://www.parts4repair.com/motorola-nexus-6/

Also, you should do the job yourself, the Nexus 6 is easy to tear down. There are plenty of tutorials, videos on YouTube to help you...

Good luck... :)

I am running PN rom March update. 100% clean flash. Stock kernel. Anyway to change the vibration strength & vibration pattern?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Vibration pattern, I'm not aware of a way. But strength, yes. You have to flash a custom kernel and a manager like "kernel adiutor". I use B14CKB1RD. This combination, the vibration intensity is under "Misc".

Be aware, if you flash a custom kernel over PN, you should not post ROM issues without going back to stock kernel.

The Nexus 6 is still a very good device, I would recommend spending a little time on stock, getting used to the phone while you read up on root and available ROMs and how to use adb and fastboot. Don't become dependent on using toolkits, you'll be lost if/when they fail.

Unlock Bootloader for Nexus 6 is not working

Just purchased a second-hand Nexus 6, 64GB model via Swappa. Phone has Android 7.0 and prompted me for several security updates when I booted it with my Verizon SIM. Previous owner claimed to be original owner and never modified the phone.

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader so I can change the recovery to TWRP, root with SuperSU, and install the latest version of PureNexus.

I've set the developer options to allow USB debugging and OEM unlock.

When I reboot the phone to bootloader, fastboot properly reports the serial number for the phone.

When I enter the "fastboot flashing unlock" command, I get the attached response and nothing changes on the phone's screen. (I've blocked most of the device SN as a precaution.)

I've also attached a picture of the bootloader screen on the phone. (I notice it indicates the device is locked and status code is 2. Does that mean it was previously unlocked and is now relocked?)

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong or what I need to do differently to unlock the bootloader?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Char_G:
Use fastboot OEM unlock to unlock the bootloader, not fastboot flashing unlock
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dm5530:
I tried that but I get a listing of the usage options for fastboot command.

Just as a lark, I opened a command window from an older version of the platform tools and tried the fastboot OEM unlock command. Imagine my chagrin when it gave me the dialog on the phone about unlocking the bootloader!

I got home late so I'm not ready to try this tonight; at least now I have high confidence that I'll be able to unlock and root when I have a little bit of time.

Thanks for pushing me to try your recommendation.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Char_G:
Have you checked Allow OEM unlock in Developer Options on the phone?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dm5530:
Maybe I wasn't clear in my last reply.

The phone settings already had "OEM unlock" and "USB debugging" checked.

My problem was apparently due to using a newer version of fastboot.

It wasn't until I tried an older version of fastboot and the "fastboot OEM unlock" command that the phone gave me the dialog asking if I wanted to unlock the bootloader (or WTTE).

Since the phone is on Nougat already, I rather expected the bootloader to need the newer fastboot. Oh, well. :)

Now I'm just waiting until I have time to walk through the whole thing (unlock bootloader, root, flash a ROM, and set up my phone again).

Thanks again for the tip to use the older "OEM unlock" command.

Hello,

I'd wait a few more months to see what Google has to offer. I switched from N6 to N6P, gave the N6P to my wife and finally bought a Pixel XL cause I had a good deal.

Of course the screen is a little bit smaller than my previous devices, but I would.neber look back though. This is the best Android experience I've ever had. Some brand new phones tend to lag over time, but not this one. The camera is simply awesome.

If Google would release a phone with a screen just a little bit taller, it would be the perfect phone for me.

I don't need all the gimmick new phones offer. Look at samsung... What a nice place for a fingerprint sensor, lol?!

Check this: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/201...shiny-new-hardware-meets-old-software-habits/

Ok so today i yesterday i took my N6 for a new charger port and when i went to collect he said it will be tomorrow, well i want back and now its next week so i took phone back stating it would be fine on wireless, he told me it might not power up as it a faulty USB port. I got home and put right on charge to see battery symbol flashing so i took back off, not only had he not changed the port but he snapped the ribbon cable for power/volume buttons, and left the yellow tape over battery cable so it wouldn't turn on. So ive ordered a new one but how can i get the device to turn on without either power button or volume buttons. its rooted with elemental kernel and AICP rom. please help as stuck with a windows lumia 550 crap piece.

Hello,

If the volume buttons and USB port are dead, i think you're SOL. :(

Good luck...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
I don't think you can turn it on without working hardware buttons.

Replacing the main board holder will fix the button problem. You'll need a *good* #3 (some phones need a #4) torx bit. Using the cheap ones that come with replacement parts will likely strip the screw heads. I use this set. While you are in there, replace the battery if it hadn't been already. The problem for most people is that replacing the charging port requires soldering.

Getting the back off the phone is pretty easy if you use a hot water bottle to warm the back for about ten minutes first. It helps soften the glue holding the back on. Use a magnifying glass to ensure your torx bit fits properly, and that you are holding it inline with the screw head. If it is tilted, you are likely to strip the screw.

I stand buy the post you quoted, replace those parts. The wireless charging is particular in its placement to work. The coil comes integrated with that replacement battery. Heaven knows what all damage was done to your device. The mid-frame is a plug in repair for most of the possible damage.

Using the worthless charging will help mitigate the need for replacing the usb port if you are not experienced with soldering.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbomodder:
Well soldering is no problem as have years of PCB experience. This is what I've found so far,...

1) phone will not actually take a charge from either wireless or cable yet shows charging symbol when on cable.

2) PC finds it as soon as I plug it in so clearly the usb ports working.

3) can the lack of a power/volume ribbon cable actually prevent charging? Or could there be more damage he's done deeper down.

I've managed to get another Nexus ( in parts Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182531103807 ) for £30. Hopefully I can get it all working and as the seller has no idea about the phone it could end up being a 64GB model yay. Just waiting for that, a new Nexus tool kit + cable + new back and then should be ok.
