[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clairez:
Pulling The String !

What I have learned so far ( rest of you gals/guys already know this! ) is that one has to be very careful with the information in these/all forums. :D

There are users who say they have received the automatic 5.1 OTA with a non VZ branded phone ( both GPS and Motorola variants ). But when you start to pull the string with more questions, answers start to become vague. And why people post information that is not factual is the subject of another post.

My experience at this point is as follows. With a Verizon nano sim in the N6, I will not receive any OTAs, now or in the future. The reason is not clear at this time. It may be because the N6 is listed as a non-VZ phone in Verizon's system. Which, in turn, may be caused by the IMEI not being registered in Verizon's database. All conjecture at this point. ( More factual information required )

What is clear to me is that Motorola and Google should post a warning about the N6 not being compatible with Verizon (presently). And recommend purchase of the N6 directly from Verizon. Not holding my breath on this one !

Back to the problem at hand. I have tried the various suggestions.

1. Removing the VZ sim and connecting via wifi does NOT produce an OTA (5.1) offer.

2. Removing the VZ sim and connecting via wifi and doing a factory reset DOES produce an OTA (5.1) offer. This requires a backup/restore of user data. Follow this procedure exactly:

a. Backup your Nexus 6 (go to “settings” >> “backup & reset” >> select an account to back-up by clicking on “backup” and selecting the account you want to backup)

b. Remove your SIM card (while the phone is on)

c. Reset your Nexus 6 (go to “settings” >> “backup & reset” >> “factory reset data”)

d. Restore your Nexus 6 during set-up but DO NOT insert your SIM card

e. At the end of the setup, you should be offered the 5.1 update

d. Download (~450MB) will take awhile dependent on connection speed

e. After download is complete, press the "restart and install" button

f. Android icon with spinning symbol during install system update ( 3-5 minutes)

g. N6 will restart automatically (Optimizing apps 126)

h. Home screen, Settings --> About phone --> Build number, LMY47D --> Version 5.1

But, this approach, for me, would be too onerous for future/routine OTAs. My purpose behind purchasing the N6 was the timely, automatic delivery of OTAs by Google without carrier interference. The referenced article by the Android Police may be the reality. The ultimate solution is of course with Verizon, which leaves me with an uncomfortable feeling.

As always, thanks for the help ...

Very good post, and summarized very concisely.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RW-1:
I got mine thru VZ, this is most likely the only time I'll ever say this about them - At least they released it, though being late to the party, with 5.1 already installed.

(I feel so bad for those who may have bricked trying the OTA or image and running into issues ...)

As to how they will affect us moving forward, I'm crossing my fingers, but while I hate it, let me play devil's advocate here, they didn't place a boot animation, sounds, or other oem crap on it, there are the small system services, but that's the same amongst all of the N6's. and the tramp stamp was easily removed aka ATT's.

So far, it could have been

way worse

as far as getting one from VZ, but I feel for you guys that had it early and are now waiting on them to get an OTA, or even have the unit register correctly on their systems.

But the overall answer to the overall thing, is that if they did hold up updates down the road, we do what any crackflasher would, flash the image when released, right? Why we got the thing in the first place :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooofest:
This emerging situation where carriers apparently delay our Nexus 6 OTA timings is leading me to stay on the flashing path.

Running stock and locked 5.1 E for now, might just run unlocked and accept potential decrease in local security to minimize danger in future flashes. I like stock so far, but being unlocked will probably tempt me to root and try custom ROMs, I expect.

If Verizon wanted us to stay on the pure OTA path with this phone, they don't appear to be showing that intent.

thank you for your helpful post!

i just had a few clarifying questions. my current setup is 5.01 with an unlocked bootloader, rooted phone and twrp recovery.

in order for me to be able to accept the OTA update, i have to flash the stock image and stock recovery, unroot, and relock my phone. is that correct?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
You don't need to re-lock your bootloader. Otherwise, yes on the others.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansan382:
just wanted to give my experience...

bought a nexus 6 from best buy last week and it came with 5.0 installed. right away it took a 5.0.2 update but nothing after that. I had to manually flash the 5.1 "E" build on it, which I did because I'm on verizon and felt it was the best to be on
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
Are you sure it was 5.0.2 ??? Should have been 5.0.1 no? Anyway, good job getting updated anyway. :good: Yes, Verizon users should be on E.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansan382:
im sorry, you're right.. it was 5.0.1 because it was LRX22C.. my bad.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No, it's OK :) I was just curious.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cccoltsicehockey:
Well this is not the information I wanted to find. I guess I will have to resort to flashing or sell my Nexus. Damn you Verizon again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Flashing is super easy, so keep that in mind.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansan382:
exactly. I got lazy and just let wugfresh's toolkit do it for me. I unlocked the bootloader manually but I downloaded the factory image for it, told the program to use it and came back a couple of minutes later to an updated phone. i even told it not to wipe so i didnt have to start fresh again
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cccoltsicehockey:
I used to do it years back. I did it with windows mobile and also an HP Touchpad a good bit but haven't since then.

So wait you are saying there is a tool out there that can do it for me and I don't even lose any of my data? Backing up the phone and then setting everything back up I have on it is really the part I don't want to have to deal with.

The only other thing I need to know is can I re-lock the phone? I have to have it that way to use for work unfortunately for the dreaded AirWatch App.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Click the top link in my signature to find out more information about re-locking the bootloader. Unfortunately, re-locking will wipe your device and you will lose your data.

it works with all nexus devices. I'd highly advise you learn ADB commands first but this is the easy/lazy way out. you can use it to flash a stock image and one of the options is to do a no-wipe flash.

its this, http://www.droid-life.com/2013/11/05/how-to-flash-nexus-5-factory-images/ just put into a nice simple easy to use toolkit. i do 95% of my stuff manually through command prompt but for some stuff i let the toolkit do it. or at least keep it around just in case i mess the phone up and need to bring it back to life.

TWRP 2.8.3 is bundled with kuronosan's KK ROM. Works fine, no separate download link though.

The latest TWRP release 2.8.6 has a build for the TS:

http://twrp.me/devices/omatetruesmart.html

Not many changes, I wanted to try out of curiosity.

I tried flashing with dd and SPFT on a 1/8 EU May Omate TS.

Reboot to recovery fails, Android starts after a failed attempt. For some reason, my baseband is lost too, had to go back to an older backup and restore Titanium (always make a SPFT readback...).

The version may work on other devices, but be aware of potential problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] penpencalf:
I made sure that auto sync is checked, deleted gmail account, wiped gmail app data cache, system cache partition, google framework cache, did battery pull.....

Just could not make gmail to receive notification.

The only thing I haven't tried is a factory reset, which I really don't want to do unless I can be sure that it is my phone, not gmail app or google's service, that is causing the problem.

I don't see other AT&T Note 4 users complaining about it in xda. Is it just me? I did see some related comments in play store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jspex:
Did you need to move the date to update?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmgeorge:
Hi,

I have a Note 4 as company phone and it's administered by an installed tool of our company. This tool forces certain options like: password required. Pin, draw pattern or finger print are not allowed. It sets the lock time to max 10 min and the screen turn off time to max 5 min.

Now I am really interested in Samsung Gear VR (Games and 3d Movies) but I fear I can't really used it if the phone locks after 10 min or the screen goes off after 5 min.

I can't root it. In the developer options the "stay on" option is greyed out.

I am not sure yet if the Note would stay on in the gear vr if I move around. I think there was some option where it stays on as long as you carry it around.

I use google maps and with this app the screen also stays on. (since some month I have to set a destination). Any idea how this is done?

I don't have a docking station. But would it stay on in a docking station? And if so could I emulate it with a manipulated USB cable. (isn't this done with a resistor?)

thx rgds

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] RobCandyman:
I was surprised by the fact that many of the roms that I tried out yet, only take about 500MB of system storage. But then I noticed that this doesn't do anything for me because of the system partition that is made for the gigantic 1.5 GB stock rom.

Having 1GB of free space that I can't use bothers me a lot. So I thought about repartition the internal storage. Because it would be very nice to have about 800-900MB more of usable disk space on internal storage (sdcard0). I already did a short google research but all of the instructions I found relate to the Galaxy S2. And there you can only choose between fixed partition sizes.

Has anyone already tried to repartition the storage of the Galaxy S2 Plus? Or firstly has an idea for that issue?

[History]

I suspect the phone was edited before

bought the phone used. It is unlocked. The phone was constantly rebooting, I bought a lemon from some low life.

Sent the phone in to Rogers [Canada] to get fixed.

Rebooting was fixed (YEAH!).

I proceeded to unlock the bootloader and install ViperOne.

Once ViperOne was installed, I noticed the camera wasn't working.

NOTE: I did not A) check if the camera worked once I got it back. B) I didn't update my phone from STOCK when I got it back.

[Where I am now]

relocked the phone.

I used the Signed RUU exe from htc1guru -- Rogers edition.

I then used the stock ROM to update the phone.

M7 is now Lollipop.

Still no Camera.

Unlocked phone, installed newest TWRP, newest ViperOne [8.0.0.0, I believe].

no camera, but I was expecting that haha.

There may be two areas of investigation.

b) Daughter board may be faulty.

c) A combination of both.

[Samsung Gear Fit] sis651:
In order to offload step calculation from Galaxy S5 and add heart rate monitoring to my exercises I thought to buy Samsung Gear Fit. I thought it might help a lot. But after a little research it seems its pedometer and heart rate sensor is far from accurate. However, all those reviews were made when it was first released. It got some updates I think. Now, after those updates what about its accuracy, did Samsung increase its pedometer and heart rate monitor accuracy via updates, or is it still the same?

Also since nearly a month S Health application is very laggy. When I wake up the device it is freezed nearly for 5 secs. Exercise mode rarely functions, just freezes and phone asks to kill it. This way also it consumes much more battery too. So I see it is important to not rely on only one application. Can Gear Fit run fine with other applications like Endomondo? I thought about other devices too, but it seems Gear Fit is the best in its price tag and features.

S-Health is really bad. I use Endomondo and it does more than I could ask for. Yes, best value for money device.

- First (Primmary): 1024MB FAT - For CWM Backups

- Second (Primmary) 1024MB EXT2 - For Link2SD app

- Third (Primmary) rest MB FAT32 - For normal SD Card use

Pros

- Working all options in CWM

- Secure backups (not accessable vie Phone & USB, you must use card adapter to read first FAT partition)

Cons

- Access to CWM only by Link2SD (thats a bug and i dont know why)
