Yup, ordered N6 today :)

I can definitely appreciate the ability to learn and mod, it will grow with me.

Thanks!

Now I need to decide on a case and Qi charger....
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
Been a full time linux user for about 8 yrs now. I do however, have a windows install for the rare times I want to play a game of pinball, or use adb for my N6. Other than that, it never gets used. I have no need for Microsoft specific programs.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

There are plenty of threads to help you decide on a case. I gave up wireless charging, as it creates too much heat for my liking and takes longer to charge. I have an Anker usb charger with Smart IQ charging which automatically adjusts the amps to whatever device you plug in. Best charger I ever used.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Because the back of the N6 is not flat, you need a rather large QI-charger pad.

I use more QI-chargers on different places.

On every charger pad I had to find out the best position for charging. Else the result is not 100%.

For the same reason an ultra thin cover is the best.

[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Why would you use Windows for ADB on your N6? That's the whole reason I got rid of Windows, to avoid the "driver dance". It's literally "plug & play" with Ubuntu.
[Nexus 6  General] ianovic:
I like the idea of not plugging it in every night, just putting it down but the heat could be an issue, I'll definitely visit some threads.

I'll check out the Anker though, thanks.

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

Nice one, I'll check those out.

I was thinking of these:

[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
That's it. I like that too.

I bought the IQ pads on eBay and they are all working. A lot cheaper than here in the local stores (dutch).
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
I guess I need to be more specific. I like to use Nexus Root and Toolkit which only works in windows. And you need adb for it to work obviously. I'm sure I could do things in the terminal on ubuntu, but I'm just too lazy these days.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
OK, got it. ;)
[Nexus 6  General] guthrien:
Can't believe how much I like this phone. One thing, I was messing with my Note 4 and it seemed..small. I didn't think that would ever happen. I think this design is the limit for an everyday phone, though I know people who carry the Nexus 7 a lot. I have a sneaking suspicion the next Nexus will be smaller, this is an either love it or leave it size. It's so incredible for browsing or media, I'd be hard pressed to move to something smaller. It's an arms race once you adjust to a big phone haha.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
This year there will most likely be 2 Nexus`s released, a big one and a smaller one. Supposedly the big one will come from Huawei and the smaller one by LG.

What is the display technology?

When (am)oled I hope there will be a new design based on white text on black.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
At this point these are not more then rumors and speculations tbh, no one knows fur sure ;)
[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
Just as simple with Windows. It's really not a big deal to browse to the driver in the SDK.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Material and black

Yes I know. But 'amoled - messages' are still needed to get 'amoled and black' between the ears of the Material designers.

I am following the thread of the Blackout Team, they do a good job, but when it comes to Stock and Gapps, it is needed to remove the originals from the stock Rom.

So my idea is that the Android-staff at Google still has to do a lot of work, especially when they are planning new devices.
[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
Not everyone wants black. In fact, I'd wager a good chunk of consumers do not. The battery differences from black to white may be an extra 20 minutes. Nothing to write home about or make headlines over. People are not sitting in the app drawer or settings menu all day for white to even be a concern. They launch their apps and use them, then put their phone down.
[Nexus 6  General] Rox598:
Does anyone have any idea why the flash all for the N6/N9 still doesn't work? missing system image still and it's just annoying flashing each file manually.

Also what's up with these carrier versions of 5.1.1? I thought Google was merging all of them from this point forward :/ too many build numbers!
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Its seems this is an issue with the sdk, flash-all worked fine before the latest 2 updates.
[Nexus 6  General] Rox598:
Think Google would fix it but I guess if you're messing with factory images you know what you're doing.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
The problem is that some img`s (like system.img)can`t be allocated and flashed when using the flash-all command or flash-all.batt.
[Nexus 6  General] Gizzy316:
Why so many bootloops??

Why are their so many bootloops? I have Verizon Nexus 6 , used Wugfresh toolkit to unlock and root. No problems but cannot get any Rom ro load , everything bootloops. I've tried Blisspop, AOSIP, elemental x kernel, minimal Gapps, banks Gapps, everything bootloops on on the start-up screen with either Blisspop or AOSIP.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Maybe something with twrp. Have you successfully Flashed anything. Mods or stock based roms. Maybe your not wiping all the way. Not sure how familiar you are with this stuff.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
When you invert your reaction it is still true.

Hope you live in a large metropolitan area. Sadly Verizon and ATT have the best coverage. Hands down. Sticks, bfe, rural,etc.. T mobile , while may be good for you suck for consistency here. And I'm in 4th largest city in US. Maybe Houston isn't in the "T" loop. Sprint isn't even worth mentioning. Your constantly Sprinting for service... Lol
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:

[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
There is no reason for any of that outside users screwing their driver cache up. Some people are just not experienced with installing drivers themselves.
[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
So let me get this straight. Because the argument goes both ways, then black must be the correct one?

What did the people who like light colors do during the KitKat era? They didn't have a choice then, just like those who like dark do not now.

We all have desires but it does not determine the finished state of an OS.
[Nexus 6  General] micmars:
Of course you have choices...had them then and have them now...just flash a custom themed rom or a theme designed for a given rom.

As to dark being the best ui for any app, yes, this is a tautology. It's superior in all ways, aesthetically and performance inclusive.

Plato worked out the majority of the reasoning that underpins this in the Timaeus...and I believe that the balance of any counterargument was quelled by William James in the early part of the 20th century.

I have not successfully flashed anything. I previously had Verizon Galaxy S4 and was very familiar with flashing ROMs there with Safestrap. Have never used TWRP per say but Safestrap was a version of TWRP and it works very much the same. Since I unlocked and rooted with the Wugfresh Toolkit, how would I proceed to reload TWRP again?
[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
No. That's all that needs to be said.
[Nexus 6  General] micmars:
I applaud the implied reasoning of your response...it is terse, conveys myriad tangents, like a cummings poem or a Zen Koan.

My response is yes, yet perhaps unstated truisms need to be pondered.

Clearly you have found a thesaurus, yet it doesn't hide idiotic ramblings.

On a lighter note, I just picked up a 32gb Nexus 7 (2012) with a case on eBay for $65. Ever since I worked on one last week, I had to get one. Mint condition too. Says it's never been unlocked or rooted either. That's going to change. :)

Before I realized I had to toggle between MTP and Camera mode for windows to see my N6, I had a bear of a time. I do 99.99999% of everything I do on a computer in linux, but I just happened to like the root and toolkit. I can actually get around the terminal pretty easily in linux, and should probably learn how to do everything without booting windows. I've just been too damn lazy lately. (sips drink)

Major connectivity issues

Heyyo,

So I've got an N6, two months in and I've got serious connectivity problems. I don't get push notifications over data, I have to launch the app to see new info, my Wi-Fi drops sporadically, cloud print is a joke. I love this phone, but good lord! Does anyone know what could be causing these issues? My settings don't restrict any kind of data, background or foreground. My APN is set for HSPA+ and nextgenphone, but someone wrote that nextgenphone APN's are for phones using VoLTE for Verizon and I'm with AT&T. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:

[Nexus 6  General] Petter764:

[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Thank you for the responses.

For me it is not white or black. I like to have a choice. And fortunately there are apps I use frequently that already have a white/black choice.

I think it is good to discuss about this subject and who knows people of Google wiil read about it.

I understand that is not possible to make all users happy. But I think that the distance between 'G-design' and 'user wishes' is growing.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
As long as you can flash different themes and themed roms you do have a choice. Google isn`t a modder or themer, they give us a basic working rom that we can alter as we please. Can`t see your problem tbh ;)
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
No problem here ;). Already several xda options implemented.

Nevertheless in a N6 lounge some critics are needed (in my view) as long as G is promoting their design and devices at the same time.

That is the nice part of this thread.

[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:

[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
No worry, its possible the 47Z rom works for you but when Google lists it as a US carrier specific image i`am not going to flash it in the EU where i live. Maybe i`am wrong (again) though ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Rox598:
Tbh i've noticed my signal has been really bad as of late it's up and down like crazy! perhaps the reason why is because I flashed the wrong build? gonna find out now.

Erase system and flash the LMY47D system.img, then boot.img and erase and flash cache.img, boot up and flash the LMY47Z 5.1.1 OTA from here http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493 in stock recovery using adb sideload :)
[Nexus 6  General] Rox598:
Did you not say to flash the LMY47I build since it was the international one? I was on LMY47D before with the bad signal and then updated to the 7Z build which was listed as Sprint only.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Yup, but the 47Z 5.1.1 OTA for 47D is posted so you can update. The 47I OTA/Image will be posted soon too, but if you want 5.1.1 now just flash 47D system, boot and cache.

Look at my previous post for how to, just updated mine and its booting now ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Rox598:
Think i'll stick to the LMY47I build and wait for the OTA to pop up so I know the build i'm on is proper.

On a Google Play-purchased N6 on VZW, unlocked and rooted via WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. Current build is 5.0.1 LRX22C.

Three questions:

1) Is there a fix for half-screen freezing issue I see referenced on first page? My device does that on rare occasion.

2) I am getting prompted for OTA 5.1 update. Can someone point me to a thread on how to side-load it? I am a bit of a newb so need a little hand-holding.

3) Anyone else's gmail crashing regularly? Mine crashes at least 4x per day.... sometime I need to reboot it crashes so hard.

Thanks!

No one seems to want to answer this in the M thread, but does anyone know yet whether it supports hardware encryption on the N6?

I received 5.1.1 OTA today and finally it's as smooth as the nexus 4 was! I assume that it's fixed a lot of the lag that encryption caused before. I'm glad for that because I actually like encryption.

[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:

I'm still on LMY47D and no lag.
[Nexus 6  General] RayEdmondson:
Installed the developer business build and it is encrypted. There is a thread about flashing unencrypted.
[Nexus 6  General] dodgebizkit:
Sorry, I think you misunderstood what I was asking.

I don't want to unencrypt it, I want to know if it has hardware encryption support or if it's still all software encryption. So far I can't find any answers.

-----------------------<SiG>-------------------

My house phone is better than your iPhone.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Encryption has been a subject of discussions, threads etc.

For hardware encryption we need dedicated drivers.

When these drivers were available we should have heard about that. Because encryption is a hot item.

That is why I think ' there will be no hardware encryption ' in the new version.

I will be glad if I am wrong.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Today I received an OTA message for update to version 5.1.1.

Unroot and installed the update. The result is: LMY47Z. This version is marked by Google with "for Sprint US only".

After rooting, reflashing Franco's Kernel and Black Google Now launcher, and changing the DPI to 384, my N6 is the same as LMY47D.

Issues till now: The app Sygic did not start, only showing the splash screen. Needed to cleani data/cache.

EDIT 1

Next day after update: Sygic issue is gone.

EDIT 2

Second day. WiFi issue; WiFi on but '!' in the wifi icon.

No internet. Reboot N6 and it is working again.

EDIT 3

Third day again WiFi with '!'. Disconnected Wifi and new connect solved this issue. Added in build.prop WiFi.supplicant_scan_interval. Set value to 200.

EDIT 4

Now running LMY47Z - 5th June. No issues.
[Nexus 6  General] alias3800:
I've only had the N6 for 3 days, but I got my 5.1.1 OTA update for T-Mo early this morning. Gotta love Nexuses. :p

I can't complain though, because on 5.1 with all cores going, this phone is as smooth as they come. What I'm wondering though is, what's new in this build besides wifi calling?
[Nexus 6  General] :
One notable, yet unpublished find is that the "Allow OEM unlock" toggle now seems to stick after reboots.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Second - build.prop has been changed by the update.

The 'WiFi.supplicant_scan_interval' was removed by the update.

Hello everyone.

Just some easy questions.

1)Can you suggest a different Photo Gallery App than the stock?It is very annoying to be always connected online.I don't mind paying a good app from the play store.I do not want to see any ads and stuff...

2)Why is google drive acting so stupid ? Sometimes i remove and re-enter the same pictures in the same phone , and google drive can't understand that they are the same and it creates multiple copies.Is there any way i can fix this ? Dropbox has no such issues ...

3)Is there an app/way that can upload to cloud services (google drive,dropbox etc.) compressed photos while keeping the originals inside the smartphone ?

Thanks in advance ... !!!

Hi All,

I just sold my 6 months old Note4 and got myself a Nexus. And all I can say is, I love it! I'm a flashaholic and I constantly tried getting rid of touchwiz and find a stable AOSP/CM. So the Nexus was the answer.

So hi to all! Looking forward to joining the Nexus forums.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I have had the following smartphones on Verizon:

Galaxy Nexus

Moto X 2013

Moto X 2014

Nexus 6

I haven't used my Moto X 2014 much because it doesn't have root and I retuned the Nexus 6 because it was dropping the LTE signal like my GNex did and the screen had a pink look to the whites not to mention I did not like the holster options available for the N6.

I live where there is a weak Verizon LTE signal and 2 different towers, 1 that has Band 4 and 1 that does not and my phones are always switching b/t the towers non-stop but only on the N6 and the GNex did the LTE signal actually drop. Idk if I got an N6 with a bad radio but since I paid $700 for the phone, I wasn't going to opt for a refurb to try to find out. If the price on the N6 drops, I will order another one but I really hope the holster options for the N6 improve.

I had the Seidio spring clip holster and a whole body carbon fiber skin on the device. The carbon fiber skin on the sides of the device was incredibly uncomfortable to hold and the color was not a true white anyhow, more of a creme color, which I didn't care for. The clip on the Seidio spring clip holster was too far down and the top of the device when clipped onto my waistband poked me in the side.

I have had 5 different GNex, 5 different Moto X 2013 and 2 different Moto X 2014, so I know the whites on the AMOLED screens vary in color from blue to yellow to pink. The pink color to the white is my least favorite. I can live with blue or yellow but my N6's screen was too pink.

I absolutely hate the dingy gray color of the Cloud "White" and I don't like the blue frame of the blue one. I wish Incipio would make an NGP for the N6 and I wish that Pure Gear would make a shell/holster for it.

For $750 after tax and another $50 for the Power Support screen protector, Seidio holster and carbon fiber skin, Mama JulesJam was not happy with her $800 phone!!!!! So I kicked my N6 to the curb!!! I kept the holster but the screen protector and the skin obviously were money down the drain.
