Had the Samsung Galaxy S2-S5 and the Nexus 6 beats Samsung, hands down. Don't mind the lack of removable battery or SD card. Learned how to use USB OTG for extra storage and haven't looked back. Nothing but Nexus for me now and in the future.
[Nexus 6  General] StakMak99:
AMEN!! My first Android was a t-mobile HTC G2 Desire, before Google owned Android, Play Store hadn't been thought of.... You had the "Android Market", and on the back of the phone "with Google" inscribed. It was a slider, but with a touch screen and slide down keyboard. Matter of fact, I still have one brand new in the box unopened in my closet! Then had s2 skyrocket, s3,LG-G2 D800, which leads me to how I fell in love with Nexus phones. The D800...... Crap. PERIOD. WENT THROUGH 3,BEFORE I MADE AT&T CANCEL MY ACCOUNT AND REFUND, AS MY NEXUS 5 WHITE 32GB WAS ALREADY ON ITS WAY........ ?

Word! Rocking Benzo on a white 64gb n6 from moto myself. Have had great success with elemental x here.

This is arguably the highest quality device to represent the Nexus family. This is probably my favorite phone so far (s4, g2, n5, g3, m8 gpe) by a margin.

I wouldn't bother with a Samsung, the m9 you can cook an egg on, and I totally don't feel like waiting 3-6 months for the G4 have a significant dev following.

I'd rather wait for the G4's cousin...the Nexus 5 2015 (?).

[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
thats fine, the developer can call it whatever he wants in his app. he can call it super duper screen adjuster if he wants, but its still dpi. anywho, whats the point if using an app for something that takes 3 seconds to do without an app? open your build.prop file, edit what needs to be edited, then save.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
I was just following your response.

DPI is the correct name/abbreviation.

The use of 'LCD_density' is a bit strange when the device has an amoled display.

Why did I betray Nexus and get the G4?

Time to rant about my buyer's regret, as well as some general observations of phone design and the way software is integrated.

So, I use to be a proud owner of a Nexus 5, and was planning to use it till it was completely obsolete (cause even after a year it ran like I took it out of the box), till the poor lil guy met the cold, tile floor... But since I had been a Tmobile regular, they made upgrading easy and painless. I thought of the Nexus 6, but the G4 sported some SUPER nice specs for fifty bucks cheaper than the N6. I thought it was going to be better, especially after I rooted and installed sweet, sweet Cyanogenmod!

And then I looked around and saw that development for (stable) roots and custom OS is going pretty slow. I know it's only been three months or so, and I hate to sound impatient, but I really took for granted just how slim and clean vanilla android is, as well as having the option to mess around with it's inner bits from the box, which is what made my Nexus 5 such a grand phone after more than a year! I remember when I first got it, and the very same night I had it rooted, TWRP recovery, and sporting CM11. It ran better than anything I ever had! Really, the only thing I would have wanted more from my Nexus is a bigger, badder version of it--something that would truly unleash the beast--The Nexus 6!

Sure, the G4 sports some heavy specs that seem to only be outmatched by the Note 4 (but Samsung has really disappointed me with Knox. So much. I vow never to deal with Samsung's apparent disdain for people like me who love tinkering.), but ultimately it feels like most of it is to run all that unnecessary bells and whistles that I really didn't want, which I can't cut out cause development isn't going as fast as the rate which my patience is wearing thin for having to close twenty or so background apps every ten minutes. Seriously, major battery and memory hoggage!

The only thing I will give G4 over the N6 is its stunning camera, and that will be a slight let down, but overall performance and customization and size in one package far, far, FAR outweighs taking crisper selfies. It doesn't matter how much more specs it has if most of it isn't being utilized for that utterly elegant and eloquent feel. So, why Nexus, baby, did I ever break your heart? I'm sorry, won't you take me back?

(Forgive my messy splurge of mixed ranting and kind of reviewing. :P)

[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
Btw, an amoled screen is still technically an LCD screen. LED is a form of LCD. But an LCD is not necessarily an LED.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
LCD is an abbreviation of Liquid Crystal Display.

There are no liquid crystals in amoled nor in led displays.
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
At any rate the setting in the software was named that because it was created before OLED was a thing, so it isn't that big of a deal.
[Nexus 6  General] gtg465x:
The TVs and monitors that are marketed as LED are in facts LCDs. They use LEDs (just a few large ones) to backlight the liquid crystals instead of CFL bulbs, but the pixels themselves are liquid crystal, not LEDs. Displays labeled as OLED and AMOLED are the ones that actually use tiny LEDs to light each pixel. This confusion was exactly the intent of the marketing departments at these companies.
[Nexus 6  General] gtg465x:
By the way, for those talking up the G4 camera. I have a G4 and a Nexus 6 (and a GS6). The Nexus 6 actually takes sharper pictures than the G4. I did extensive comparisons. I suspect the aggressive noise reduction LG uses is what makes their 16 MP camera less sharp than the 13 MP camera in the Nexus. In terms of color, pictures from the G4 do pop more than pictures from the N6, but sometimes they actually look a bit too saturated and fake. And the G4 beats the N6 in low light by a long shot in standard mode, but with HDR+ turned on, the N6 isn't far behind the G4 shots in low light.

The S6 camera on the other hand, is amazing. It far outshines the G4 and N6 most of the time. But I still like my N6 the best overall and will be selling the G4 and S6.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
All names of variables/menu items etc may become obsolete after some time.

And as long it works without errors; indeed it is not a big issue.

BTW.

When a new version is introduced with a lot of publicity it could be a reason to update obsolete things like this.

If anyone had this issue on 5.1.1 and does not hear it on android M then it's a software problem
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
But it isn't obsolete. The majority of phones have LCD screens and the software setting is just a variable name. You know what it means and changing it to OLED density would have no effect at all besides creating more confusion because we would then have multiple variables names that do the same thing.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Good point.

Please do not understand me wrong. It is not more than a remark. Since my N6 I am OLED minded

When I look at the growing number of Google's factory images, I can imagine that a change of this variable will not happen.

On the other hand in future versions of Android there will be opportunities to change names of any kind.

(BTW when LCD_density is changed I would prefer a generic name that covers all kind of displays).
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'll join in on this topic. Not really sure I understand why this is even an "issue". I've been using screen density in various discussions since years already. I've never had to explain anything about screen types and their differences in this regard.

Is anyone else having problems restoring nandroid backups using TWRP 2.8.7.1? I can backup fine, and it says the backup has restored after doing a wipe and restore, but when I reboot it sticks on the Google screen. Thinking about reverting to an earlier version, but wanted to ask about it first.

Welp, sold my old nexus 6 on swappa, flashed the factory image to completely wipe it out, had no idea that it would lock the next owner out of being able to register the phone. So now its a big fkn mess. glad google found such a great way to protect our phones. now i have to pay shipping back and then pay to relist it. and the buyer isn't happy im sure so now im going to get pretty bad feedback. awesome. thanks google.
[Nexus 6  General] graydiggy:
Should have done some research... Pretty well known what the security features are with the N6 and 5.1.1
[Nexus 6  General] FoneWatcher:
Exactly! I'm sorry you had such a bad time because you forgot to deauthorize it, but your post is a great testimonial to Google's security.

I'm *much* MORE CONFIDENT that my data is protected if I should ever lose my phone. Thanks Google!
[Nexus 6  General] :
Right in the sticky roll up thread. Could have prevented all of this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3104504
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Is the following a possible solution?

Seller wipes the data from the Google account concerned. Seller sends his login codes to the buyer to unlock the phone and to delete the buyers account.

After that buyer and seller could create a new Google account.
[Nexus 6  General] :
The only solutions are:

1) Buyer returns phone to seller and seller removes Google account.

2) Seller gives buyer their Google password, buyer logs in under sellers account and removes account.

Remember, after changing your Google account password, you must wait 72 hours before preforming a factory reset as the account will be locked out.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
That's the one I was talking about.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Also, FWIW, this is NOT Google's fault. It is a theft/data loss prevention feature that works extraordinarily well. Obviously.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
I am positive about this security feature. The more I use the N6 the more important the feature is. Because I noticed by myself, less use of PC and no more N7.
[Nexus 6  General] brockkk:
I'm just glad it was spelled out to me by google that this would happen. I'm glad they let me know that if my phone was wiped I wouldn't be able to sell it until I logged back into the phone and then removed my account.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
the guy that sent out personal messages must have been ill that day, if you didnt get your personal message.

its like laws.. it not that states/countries job to let you know the law, its your job to know the laws. not knowing a law, will never get you off of the crime.
[Nexus 6  General] brockkk:
Yes that must be why I'm the only one with this problem. I have sold plenty of android phones without running into this problem.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
android 5.1 or higher. selling plenty of android phones is meaningless, unless they are running android 5.1 or higher. how many android 5.1 or higher phones have you sold?
[Nexus 6  General] graydiggy:
Stop blaming others for your screw up. You are not the only one and it's not a problem. It's only a problem to you because you can't admit that you didn't properly look up the security features of your device software

Let's play the blame game. I'm blaming you for the headache I woke up with. It's all your fault. I can't legitimately explain why nor should I try, but it's still your fault. I'm going to assume it's because I am sitting here reading your drivel and watching you argue a completely moot point while simultaneously trying not to kick my cat out of frustration with your complaints. It could have something to do with my heavy drinking last night and my body is telling me not to do that again, but nope.. Still your fault.

How about you be happy to know that if you were to have that expensive ass phone stolen or lost, your property is protected.

Get with the 21st century. It's a security feature and it's there for a reason. Don't like it, switch to a flip phone or a slider and quit complaining. Obviously non of us here agree with you.
[Nexus 6  General] brockkk:
Obviously it was my screw up, don't think I ever said it wasn't. Maybe after your headache goes away you can brush up on some reading comprehension. A simple popup saying I wouldn't be able to sell it until I logged in and removed my account would have been fine. I think I'm.mad about the way it was implemented. So I have to wipe the phone, and then out in my email and password and then remove my account from the phone, and then wipe again? What? I'll be sure to tell everyone who sells their phone to come to XDA just to make sure they prepare their phone properly.
[Nexus 6  General] graydiggy:
Well considering that all of us but YOU seem to know about this, is mind boggling... But I'm going to explain it anyway. Our reading comprehension skills are on point. There are a few posts here of people trying to bypass the lock. Be it a stolen device to someone buying one that was locked. The posts are here on XDA. It is not up to Google to to hold your hand through your sale. It is up to you to understand through your own willingness to make sure your device is properly prepared to sell. Apple doesn't have a popup telling people to remove their iclouds and turn off the find my iPhail features, but everyone knows that if you don't, the phone is pretty much worthless.

So... It's safe to assume that with each software upgrade, there will be new security features and one should probably read about what the software is, does, and how it can protect you, your device and your information. It is not Google's job to spoonfeed you the information. It is up to you, a person that Google assumes is competent enough to learn about the device that you purchased. There are software changelogs all over the place that outline the new security features. There are articles all over the Internet. Hell you could have even called Google or Motorola customer support and asked them "how can I make sure my device is properly set up and ready to sell?". There is even a post here on XDA outlining the proper steps to do so.

So I still fail to see why it's Google's responsibility to tell you how to sell your device. It's not their problem.

Take it as a learning experience. Now you know.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
no, just remove your account the first time. then wipe. itll save you time and a headache.and if you change your password at that point, then the person who bought the phone will have to wait 3 days to be able to log in. ive owned every single nexus beforehand, and ive never ever sold any of my devices, yet i know all about googles new security feature, and about what happens after you change a password. yet ive done no research into it. google did let the world know, and theres no need for a popup, ever. how the heck is google going to know that you want to sell your phone at that point?
[Nexus 6  General] brockkk:
Usually because the only time people wipe their phone is before a sale.
[Nexus 6  General] graydiggy:
90% of us here on XDA wipe our phones before flashing ROMs or because of issues we have.

You're fighting a losing battle, my friend. Again. It isn't Google job to make sure your device is ready to sell when you want to sell it. It is your job and your job alone.

I'll reiterate. Apple has no such pop-up on their iDevices, yet everyone knows that if you do not turn off find my iPhone and remove the iCloud and screen locks, the phone is as good as a paperweight.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
not true. most wipe before flashing or updating a rom. i must have wiped hundreds of times over the years, but i have yet to sell a phone. you forgot, we are on xda, we have lots of modders here. wiping is part of the lifestyle :)
[Nexus 6  General] :
When you buy a Nexus, you are essentially becoming a beta tester for Android. Many new features of 5.1.+ were important and unpublished. This community races to understand and publish information as quickly as possible. Again, I'm sorry this happened, but this issue in specific, was noted and documented on May 9th, 2015. Always read the sticky threads, as they contain the most useful information. :)
