Why do you need it for? Me I don't ever pay any mind to that lockscreen playback feature since I use the volume rockers to skip tracks which is much better in certain situation like being at the gym, I don't want to constantly takeout my phone out of my pocket just so I can skip a song that's very annoying. You should try it if you haven't.
[Nexus 6  General] unit336:
I believe that feature is only available in custom ROMs. I have used it in the past on CM but am running stock now.
[Nexus 6  General] adewey234:
Awesome! That worked, now what downside will it be to have all bands turned on?
[Nexus 6  General] marshallbedsaul:
would having the non Verizon version cause any issues?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Not from what I've read. You can always flash the Verizon radio 98r. With your Sim all the Verizon specifics should be available on the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] marshallbedsaul:
thank you much sir.

[Q] One Hand Mode

I want a one handed mode, sort of like the Galaxy Note has. (Shrink the entire screen display area to the bottom left or right of the phone such that all parts of the interface can easily be reached by the thumb in one hand)

I saw this and got excited. (One Hand Mod for Xposed framework that does just what I want) http://www.guidingtech.com/38508/one-handed-operation-android/

However I rooted and started to install Xposed only to find out Xposed does not support 5.1 yet.

Is there any hope for me? I really want the nexus 6 but not sure I can deal with almost 0 one handed functionality. (I know about the keyboards that go to one side or the other... that's not the problem... it's actually not hard to tap anywhere on the bottom half of the screen so regular sized keyboards are fine if all I wanted to do was type. The entire problem is the top of the screen... which is where lots of app functionality resides.)
[Nexus 6  General] wbarnes4393:
I am glad I am not the only one. I had a Note 4 for a week, and decided to return it for a nexus 6. I like everything better about the nexus, and you do get more adept at handling with one hand over time. But, I have thought about rooting just for this module. Glad you saved me the trouble. Even of it worked, I had read that it wasn't perfect.......
[Nexus 6  General] danarama:
Xposed does support 5.1 unofficially but most mods don't work yet. You'll not be able to do it without xposed unless a ROM does it and as of yet, I don't think any do so its a waiting game.
[Nexus 6  General] Glyphix:
Thanks! :) at least I know I am not missing something...

It boggles my mind that something like this is not more available... I guess it must be a lot harder to do than it seems... Or somehow I am in an extreme minority to think this is a must have feature for 6 inch phones.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
for me, an average sized guy, 5'7", with smallish hands, i dont want or need a one handed mode. i bought a large screened device to be able to use the whole screen. ive also been using all my precious nexus with two hands anyways, ever since the galaxy nexus. two handed and im in serious control :)
[Nexus 6  General] danarama:
The thing is it needs to be built-in because it has to work with everything so there's no way an app could do this of course xposed is different because it essentially "injects" code. Of course that's not technically accurate but it will do for these purposes.

I can't attest to how difficult it is but I would assume it would need more than a coding novice.

I definitely need it on this size phone. I used to use the module you linked on KitKat but when lollipop came out it wasn't compatible (not sure if it is now). But then Niwatori came out (now called something else). I love that. It doesn't resize the window manager like one handed mode does. Instead it allows you to detach the app fro. The window and move it around so that you could get to those hard to reach areas. A different way of achieving the same result. When xposed works with 5 1 fully I'll be getting it back asap as I miss it.

Here's a video of that one of you wanted to see

No need to post a stand alone thread for this. You get exposure here. I too am curious where the need is.
[Nexus 6  General] micmars:
What's not working? I have decent lockscreen functionality for Pandora (granted, it's not completely showing rewind, etc). Play Music had this on 5.01, but it's since been fixed.

I'm not a regular user of the app, so please understand that I'm genuinely curious.

I did a quick canvass of the folks in the TBOT hangouts, and none reported lockscreen control functionality issues...

Anyway, you should at least have a nicely themed clear or blacked out version...let me know and I'll link you, or you can grab it from the TBO updater app.
[Nexus 6  General] unit336:
I agree that Play Music, and most other media apps now have playback controls. My issue is with Pandora specifically. I listen to most of my music while driving, and without lockscreen controls, I'm unable to safely skip a song. Because of this I have stopped using Pandora, and moved to Play Music for now. This is a what it looks like on Stock 5.1.

Hey guys. I have a note 3 on sprint. I am really looking into the nexus 6. Does anyone have any insite to both devices?
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
If you want a device that:

- usualy will receive updates first

- is fast as a bullet

- has a good screen

- has great stereo speakers

- is easy to unlock and relock the bootloader

- is easy to root and has great development

then this is the phone for you.

I had the Note 3 too but i`am done with Samsung personaly because of:

- Touchwizz

- KNOX

- Bloatware

- Slow updates

- Speaker not so good.
[Nexus 6  General] GeneticJim:
Yea. Thats what i was thinking. Do u have the 32 or 64 gb nexus? Does not having a sdcard bug u? How is the battery life in comparison to your note 3?
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
I have the 64GB version myself wich is more then enough for me as i keep most stuff in the cloud. Batterylife is enough to get me through the day and i get about 4,5 hrs. screenontime. The quickcharger charges the battery in about 1-1,5 hrs. though.
[Nexus 6  General] Stephenparrigin:
Hello everyone! I'm getting ready to upgrade from my S5 to the Nexus 6. I'm hoping that with this nexus I will be able to do more modding and flashing than with my S5 because I'm with AT&T with there stupid locked bootloaders!

Now for the questions. Since I'm on AT&T will the bootloader remained unlocked? If so does that mean that I will be able to flash any Nexus 6 rom even though I'm on AT&T? Because on my S5 I can only flash AT&T roms.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yes, once you unlock the bootloader it stays unlocked unless you re-lock it. Also yes to your other question about ROMs.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Want to make stock app drawer able to scroll continuously. In other words..... I use Waze daily. When I open my app drawer I have to swipe 5 or 6 times right to get to Waze. If it would have continuous scroll I could swipe once left and get to it. I don't want to add a shortcut to the home screen.

Just a bit of personal speculation here. I really don't think, though I wouldn't mind being wrong, that we are going to get 5.1.1. I think that the leak provided a few pages back by [MENTION=990284]TonyStark[/MENTION] seems to be more likely. I think our next build will be 5.2 and I hope it will be a unified build, thus eliminating some of the confusion associated with the current situation. Again, this is pure speculation and a bit of wishful thinking.

Thoughts?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
I have no doubt that there will not be a 5.1.1 official release for N6.

I too would like to see a unified build on the next release, but there's no data to support that happening (or to contradict it, for that matter).
[Nexus 6  General] :
That's the beauty of speculation. Or the base for every article on Phandroid lol!

From the Play Store page:

"Google Connectivity Services helps Android handle network connections. Keep it updated to ensure your device has the latest networking capabilities, including support for connecting to WiFi networks automatically and using a Google VPN to help secure your data."

I can personally verify this has helped with my 5g connectivity problems I was having while casting Netflix or Hulu to Chromecast. I have a much more stable connection that doesn't disconnect when my Nexus would sleep.

Life after Nexus 6

I am wondering what you guys are thinking about what your next phone is going to be. I'm not sure I have a good answer. Let me explain.

I love big phones. I love flashing. I love having the newest Android. I love being unlocked. The Nexus 6 is perfect for me. I'm very happy with this phone.

My problem is, I'm not sure what phone is next. Usually there is one on the horizon, but I don't see it yet. Maybe you guys have. I've been spoiled with big + open + bleeding edge.

I have switched phones about every 8 - 12 months. This started back on my HTC Evo. Two phones ago was the AT&T Note 3, and while I liked the phone, I hated that it was locked down. I hated that it was full of bloatware. I did do the flashing with the fake bootloader, so that was relief. But I just don't want to go back to supporting locked down phones. I had the Oneplus One next, and I was happy with that one as well. It was wide open, and CM was nice.

I kinda get the feeling that the Nexus is too big for mainstream and the next nexus will be much smaller.

Thoughts on upcoming phones?
[Nexus 6  General] RTNDO128:
I'm hoping for a Nexus 5 2015, or something of that nature. The N6 is great, but it doesn't fit in all my jean pockets. It's also slightly too big for me to type one handed.
[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
I see myself keeping my n6 for the next year at least, so whatever I upgrade to after this hasn't even been leaked yet, much less released. After this I can't see myself ever again using an N5 size phone, maybe dropping to a 5.5 inch, G3/G4 size but no smaller.
[Nexus 6  General] :
It is my plan, to keep this phone for two years and beyond. I will definitely be interested in seeing what is available at the time of my next upgrade. Nexus will always be my first choice. I will keep and use my Nexus 6 as a WiFi device as long as it is functional. I, for one, hope Google will continue to offer a phablet size Nexus option.
[Nexus 6  General] tr3mm0r:
I do like my Nexus. I hope for something like Nexus 6+. Facelifting+components update in a year+ from now.
[Nexus 6  General] Ryjabo:
I think this will be my last AMOLED device. I really miss the display on my Nexus 5. The G4 will be very tempting... unless it has the LG logo on the face of the phone at the bottom like the G3...
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
My next phone will be the next nexus device as long as it's a phablet nothing over 6 inch (no homo) which is a perfect size. I'm looking for google to make the camera much much better at least close to a top notch device but yea I never could stay on a phone for more then a year so I hope the next nexus is a great upgrade maybe by then Qualcomm will have the 810 chip working perfectly.

No, the many variants will continue...

Talked to google just yesterday and asked them that exact question. The head honcho of the Nexus 6 tech help desk told me that sadly the many variants are necessary for different networks features and network compatibilities. He apologized for the new way Nexus will be branded through specific carrier updates, but assured me that it will be that way going forward from here on out.

So there's that.

I actually had called about some questions I had about Android Auto and what the future might bring. He did not have much information on that topic so we moved on and that question came to mind. But who knows who was really on the other end of the call, could of been anyone. And that information may be completely incorrect.
[Nexus 6  General] tee00max:
Do most guys in here rock with the 32 or 64GB variant of the Nexus 6? I know I can buy a 32GB Unlocked version right now from Best Buy but I am trying to figure out if that will be enough space since I plan to root and do all that with my Nexus. Music and all of that will be streamed so I think I would be good with 32.
[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
I have the 32 and haven't had it more than 3/4 full, but if I did it again I'd go with 64. Why not, if you have the option? I was impatient and the 32 was available immediately while the 64 I would have had to wait a few weeks.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I have the 32gb because it is all Sprint offers, and I've had mine since launch. If you keep the number of backups, made in TWRP, limited to one or two kept on device, you'll be fine.
