[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshm.1219:
The 810 might not have custom designed (aka Krait) cores but it's still new architecture and a new layout. The 805 is widely considered "the stop gap" generation since it's an iterative upgrade of the last generation ARM cores with a slightly better GPU than the 801.

By the way, Samsung doesn't even use the 810 in the S6. Their in house chip is actually built on a 14nm (albeit FinFET) process, which is about as significant an upgrade as we'll get these days.

Stop spreading misinformation and stop being so angry about mobile processors lol.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigant262:
I know you already chose but I just wanted to chime in. I bought the GS6 for ATT last week. The device was everything I wanted in a device. The camera was phenomenal. I decided to sell it today because of the horrible lag I was getting with some apps, mainly all the Google Apps. When browsing the play store, the lag was ridiculous. Chrome was a bit laggy as well. I prefer stock android a lot more, and I don't know if I'm ever going to go back to an OEM skin phone anymore regardless of features. Now I'm just deciding if I want to keep the N6 or get the OnePlus.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmike13:
You are a lucky guy being on the ATT network. Us over here at Big Red can't use the OnePlus. I feel like the Nexus 6 would definitely be the better of those two, but if I was able to use the OnePlus on my network, I would have to try it out first. Try it, and if you don't like it, sell it and get the Nexus.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonsector:
I did the same thing, I bought the s6s, within a day I ws very worried about the battery.

I didnt like the fact I had to turn every single thing off and still not get a full day.

I returned it and bought the nexus 6.

My son picked up the nexus from my desk and within 10 mins he goes to me, I am returning the edge, I am getting one of those.

I dont have to turn anything off on my nexus 6 and I get a full day's battery if not more.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigant262:
I already have the N6. Reason I'm considering the OnePlus is because of the battery life. Supposedly its really good. But something that is holding me back are the screen issues and the sound when recording in a loud environment.

S6 is for ppl who don't know how to root. End of story.

Unless they're on basically any carrier in the world besides Verizon and AT&T.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
To be fair, the majority of XDA's population doesn't know how to root. They rely on someone to build a script, app, or method for them to do it.

So would you say the S6 is for the majority of XDA's members?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
The Nexus 6 would be my recommendation to almost all XDA users simply because, regardless of the quality of the phone itself, the sheer amount of development and love shown to pure AOSP on Nexus phones is going to be vastly greater than the development for an TW device with a locked bootloader. Look in the Nexus 6 ROM section, then look in the VZW S5 ROM section - that phone has been out for much longer and still has not even close to the amount of development the N6 does, and new stuff is popping up here regularly - S5 development for the most part has been dead since shortly after the phone launched. I say all this as an S5 user who dus and don't look back.itched the S5 early for a Nexus 6 for the reasons I outlined plus getting sick of being lied to by Verizon so I moved to AT&T - as network is a nonissue now, I'd say Nex
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanowns:
Anyone who doesn't like the N6 screen needs to root and tweak the screen settings via color display or any number of the apps like FKU. It's amazing the difference it can make depending on your eye.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
I have very poor eyesight (20/80 vision if I had to oversimplify it that way) and generally find things such as color calibration to be useless, but I could not agree more with this statement. The stock colors of the N6 are just terribly, terribly far from calibrated to the human eye, to the point that I can easily see huge issues with it without even having my glasses on.. the difference really is incredibly vast just enabling RGB calibration alone, but KCAL really makes this screen look perfect.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshm.1219:
Well the VZW S5 has been mostly locked down in its life cycle. Look at the international S5 development compared to Nexus 6 and you'll see even more. It's pretty much about popular the device is. Although the percentage of Nexus 6 users who are on XDA is far greater, its sales don't even come close to comparing to Galaxy S sales..

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adl:
Wow, just read that if you root the Galaxy S6 some chip will burn, so that there is no more possibility to use Knox or Samsung pay. They are really out of their minds! So glad I ordered a Nexus 6 last Saturday, which will hopefully arrive in the next days.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
A little off. No chip will burn, though if its anything like the last few Samsung phones you will blow an efuse and Knox will be tripped. Samsung could easily make Samsung pay not work if Knox is tripped.

Edit: just didn't want anyone to think there was going to be chips physically melting or something in the phone. Basically it's a counter that can be reset only by Samsung.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshm.1219:
Nah dude I heard it sets on fire and plays a track of devils laughing in baritone. So.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Lol. That would be awesome though, in a sadistic way. Probably would be the second to last phone Samsung would ever make. I say second to last because they would try it on the note 5 too.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfen69:
How is the 805 outdated? WOW. Even the 800 on the Nexus 5 is still a good cpu.

You can play the waiting game forever, or just get a nice phone and enjoy it. When the next gen of chipsets come out, you could say "should I wait until the next gen"? You could keep doing this forever.

I can assure you that the Nexus 6 will be a relevant phone for quite some time. Some people don't even have a quad core 2.7 chip in their home pc.

I go by how it reacts when I use it. I know when something is fast, and when it is not. The Nexus 6 is easily one of the fastest, if not THE fastest phone out there. Benchmarks be damned. And if you turn down animations and unencrypt it, the thing blazes new trails and everyone else follows.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansan382:
did you use it with both encryption on and off? I'm curious if turning the encryption off really makes that big a noticable difference in everyday performance. by all means the phone is probably fast as hell and has no problems but i guess turning off the encryption will help with games and high demanding stuff like that right?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Running with encryption off is night and day difference in performance.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atticustrd:
I have both devices, I was heavy into rooting since the EVO days. But now after owning the Nexus 5 and 6 I don't really care for rooting and Flashing ROMs. So I tried the s6, coming from pure Android to touchwiz for the first time I seriously can't tell a difference,(using Google launcher) yea there's little things I miss but I've gotten use to it. The camera and size of the s6 won me over. Even though I love the screen size and front facing speakers on the Nexus 6, it started to get a bit annoying carrying it around. Battery life never bugged me since I'm alway around a charger.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tee00max:
I am torn between buying these two devices. I do miss the rooting community and being active on XDA but at the same time. I have bee rooting devices since the HTC Droid Eris back in the day and its gets old to me. I want a solid device that just works. I currently have a 6+ that really does everything I need perfectly. but sometimes find that it works so well that its boring lol. Idk I just have to sit and see what I want to choose. I feel the battery life and camera will be the let down if I go to a Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atticustrd:
Battery life isn't that bad on the Nexus 6, but if you have a 6+ you will miss the battery life. Camera isn't bad on the Nexus 6 just not good enough, it takes a few shots to get one good shot. Especially with kids. Hdr works great but very slow to take a shot. Using the s6 is a huge difference first day owning the phone I took amazing pictures of my daughter running around that would take multiple tries with the Nexus 6.

With the s6 you're basically getting a iphonish feeling with build and camera with android slapped on to it. I got use to the size pretty quick, coming from the larger Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfen69:
I'm going by youtube videos where they show side by side comparisons. It seems that it's only slightly faster without encryption, which would make sense. For most people it's probably not a big deal, but after paying such a high price tag for the N6, I want to get the most out of it that I can.

I'm a tweaker by nature, and even though I could live with the encryption, I just can't resist making it even faster. For those that don't turn off encryption, it's still a fast great device I'm sure you'll enjoy immensely.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Slightly? Not uh. Some write operations are sped up by over 60%. If you judge it by animations and opening apps, thats different.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansan382:
I'm going to try it out with encryption on and see what its like first. If i notice and "lag" ill give the fix a try.

Yea I saw those but the question is how does that translate into real world performance and noticeability. benchmarks vs what you can actually notice are 2 different things and I'll definitely agree its faster without the encryption, the question is whether or not that speed increase can be visually quantified.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfen69:
For who? Professional photographers? If the camera on the N6 isn't good enough, maybe you should invest in a dedicated DSLR camera. It's getting ridiculous that people have such high expectations from such a compact camera. I've taken several photos with it, and find it more than adequate. Are you having an art gallery presentation with these photos for people to remember for eternity? First world problems, eh?

People expecting absolute perfection from a phone camera should maybe re-evaluate their priorities in life.

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

If you watch the videos, you'll definitely see a difference. And to me, it's more about my OCD just knowing it can be faster. But I'm the kind of person who puts on a new screen protector if it even gets the slightest scratch on it. I have a hard time sleeping at night knowing my phone is less than perfect. I also have a couple microfiber towels just for wiping it down if it even gets a hint of fingerprints or dust. Heck, I almost don't even want to use my phone for fear of damaging it. I'm thinking of putting it in a glass display case just to admire and get a cheap Moto E to beat on. ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tee00max:
Well compared to the other phones out there before and after it, he is right, it isn't not that good. I had the N6 when it first dropped and that was one of the main reason that I got rid of the device. For devices these days to not have good software image processing is a shame these days and really makes or breaks a device.

I have seen some pics where it produces some very good pics and then on the flip side I see some pics where im like no thanks. I guess it all depends on the shot but ones wants a camera that can perform well in multiple scenarios.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansan382:
haha dude i am exactly the same way but with my car. I drive around with a box full of microfiber cloths wrapped in zip lock bags, different colors for different type of application. 3 different types of quick detailers, 2 different car soaps, 4 different waxes, etc... I drive around eyeballing people in hopes they stay away from me. park 30 spots away from everyone.

that discussion aside, im super excited to get this thing home, unlock the bootloader and have some fun.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfen69:
Funny you should mention that. I do car detailing on the side.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansan382:
haha no way. got a closest full of chemical guys stuff.. i cant stop buying it.

back on topic, for those who are running this phone on VZW, what build number are you on? got my phone today, it was running 5.0 and then updated to 5.0.2 LRX22C. doesnt seem to want to update any further so im going to sideload it but wasnt sure which is the "best" build to go. from what i gather using it on verizon id want to go to LMY47E but i can only find factory images for that, no OTA. not a big deal, i'll just remove the -w command that wipes data but rather just throw the OTA on instead. is it okay to go to LMY47I or LMY47M?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshm.1219:
The only differences in the E compared to the others is its radio, as far as anyone's mentioned on XDA. So as long you use the 98r radio that comes from the E firmware, you're good with any other base. You can even use the standard 95r radio and get full service, but every Verizon user has seemed to report a better experience with 98r.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansan382:
sounds good. im going to keep setting the phone up to my liking and hopefully the OTA comes through. if not ill just download the factory image, flash everything one by one. remove the wipe command.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshm.1219:
You won't get it as an OTA, Verizon will only support devices bought from them.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansan382:
ahh well. time to manually flash then. thanks for the heads up

for those who have the phone, has anyone noticed a slightly pink tone near the top of the screen? depending on how i hold it, the top quarter looks a little more off white/pink than the rest. had it half brightness .
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfen69:
I myself have not noticed any pink tones. From a review I saw, that only happens when the brightness is turned way down. So not really a big deal.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atticustrd:
If I'm dropping $600 on a flagship device I'd hope it had a decent camera. I've used cameras on say the iPhone that are quick and always reliable. I've missed good shots of my daughter with the slow shutter speed of the Nexus using hdr. It's a big upgrade from the Nexus 5. But just not good enough for my needs. Having used the S6 I'm very pleased with the camera. I've taken great shots with the Nexus 6, but when it comes to moving objects or low light shots it's a bit difficult.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
HDR is slow on every camera. It is multiple photos sampled together. If you want an action shot, HDR is never the way to go.

That said, Nexus 6 with Manual camera is insta snap as long as you don't do raw as well. It will take the pic as fast as you can tap the button.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] segag:
I bought a s6 and im still not sure

:confused:

I went ahead and bought the S6, returned the first one because it had pink hue on the screen. The second one which i'm using is perfect. The camera and the screen are mind numbingly good. But the UI!! Oh the UI is atrocious, i miss my N5 on lollipop. Currently im running google now launcher and its ok, but the flow just doesn't feel right. Im not saying its laggy, its just not.. well how to put it, "stocky". Think of it like putting a lipstick on a pig. (The pig being touchwiz). When i use the camera or see a video i feel i made the right choice. I move around app to app or respond to a mail or two i feel i made a mistake buying this and not the N6. Also the S6 is slippery as hell (still undecided to keep it or not, so no case or skin so far). Also i paid Rs 50,000 (~790 USD), so it isn't cheap.. And after 2-3 days now im still not sure if its the right phone for me.. First world problems to a guy from a third world country.. :p :p Just hoping a nice AOSP rom can come and make my life easy. Though i don't think AOSP roms will be able to take advantage of this beautiful camera sensor on the S6.. So right now i'm still wondering if i made the right choice..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansan382:
i notice it more when using adaptive brightness. i really miss auto brightness, this adaptive **** sucks.

I've never been a fan of auto-brightness. Every phone I've had it sucked. It only takes a couple seconds to turn it down if using the phone at night.

Hello,

I recently downloaded the application on the ftp server to reassign the soft buttons in the todayscreen (was recommended).

However, it is impossible to assign the calendar application (it always results in an error stating that one or more required files cannot be found, despite the fact that I can launch calendar from the start menu). So I removed the software, but the problem persists, even after a soft reset.

How can I get the calendar back on the left softkey, without having to hardreset my device?

Thanks!

Jörg
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] todd_jg:
Hey V J, I think that is the old problem that is fixed with a simple reg tweak. It is looking for the wrong Calendar App, iirc. Try the google site search for Calendar error registry - or something like that.

Man, I love that Google search - found it in the first result - since I am feeling magnanimous, here you go:

Q: How do I fix the Calendar softkey error?

A: Regedit \HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112 from windows/lsk/htccalendar.exe to windows/calendar.exe
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] V J:
Thanks! That was indeed the issue.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You do not need root to flash a custom kernel, you need an unlocked bootloader.

On Xperia devices generally a custom recovery is in the custom kernel you flash.

Ok, I have installed a kernel with TWRP included, all good until I installed Xposed for Lollipop, that alpha version, now everytime I restart the phone I get a bootloop. The only fix is reset to factory settings, and after that the same, every time I reboot the phone I get a bootloop.

The only solution is to reflash a ftf ?

Well, thanks for nothing, I will fix it myself.

You install an alpha version and it does not work and you blame me.
