Yes, absolutely. All you need is a Sprint Sim card.
[Nexus 6  General] Nolesfan93:
Check eBay. I've seen unlocked 64GB for $545.55 with free shipping. I paid $550 for mine from someone else.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Good suggestion. Swappa.com is also a good site to buy and sell smartphones and tablets on.

[Nexus 6  General] shamelin73:
I am in the same boat. I am going to go with the 64GB however I don't even use half of my Moto X 2014 32GB. I will be putting that on SWAPPA soon. $50 for the double storage = better resale I think
[Nexus 6  General] LuffyPSP:
i have the 32GB cuz its not officially available in my country. the additional price for 64GB was ridiculous. even the 32GB was expensive but i still bite it. now that i'm using it for 4 months, seems like i'm fine with it. didn't even realize i was using 32. i always take the highest though, whenever i shop for new phone.
[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
I paid 100 less for my 64GB than Verizon sells the 32GB for.
[Nexus 6  General] Raiden350:
Don't you think that the new Nexus can be presented at the Google I/O this month ?

Indeed, LG is supposed to be the constructor and the LG G4 has been presented in april whereas the G2/G3 had been presented in august. Then, Google I/O is coming one month earlier than last year, which correspond to the earlier presentation of the G4. Finaly, Nexus devices are selling badly this year and a new N5 will not compete the N6.

So do you think it's possible ?
[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
No. If it was closer to September-October, sure.
[Nexus 6  General] LuffyPSP:
lucky for you~ we dont have official Nexus in the country. to be an early adopter need to pay a premium. we dont even have much official motorola products. even last year with Nexus 5, LG wont bring them in. We had Nexus S on carrier A, and then carrier B had Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. after that no more. Its not popular enough.

We even had to pay premium for Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. Now after a year then we had the same price for Nexus 5 like in the US.

I/O usually more to development/software announcements. A new Android version yes, new hardware probably no. Maybe the 2nd generation Wear devices at least.
[Nexus 6  General] Armxnian:
Can anyone transfer anything 4GB+ via usb? Obviously the internal storage is ext4 and can support much larger files but doing it with MTP just hangs.
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
I transferred 10gb without issue
[Nexus 6  General] MunkinDrunky:
Might I ask what you did/used/setup? Like simply in a file explorer w/o any custom kernels or set to permissive, stuff like that? I'm only wondering for future reference. I've transferred small files no prob.
[Nexus 6  General] Armxnian:
10GB of total data or a single 10GB file like an mkv?
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
5 movies that add up to 10gb. Not a 10gb file

[Nexus 6  General] Armxnian:
I can also transfer files that add up to more than 4GB, but not a single file. I read that MTP emulates a fat32 environment so you cannot transfer a file larger than 4GB. Huge limitation if it's true.
[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
It is true. It is also why you cannot record a video larger than 4GB in size.
[Nexus 6  General] Armxnian:
Why can you not record a video larger than 4GB? The internal storage is formatted to EXT4 by default. I can transfer a single 25GB mkv file over lan, but not over usb. TWRP has an option to disable MTP and use MSC but it's not working anymore for me. Happened after I flashed 2.8.6.0 I think.

Sad that flagship android devices are still using this failure of a protocol. Google could develop a new one. It makes no sense that a "media transfer" standard uses a file system not able to handle large files, which are almost always media files.
[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
Try it. ExFat also allows for larger files, but I ran into the same issue with it. Granted that was Kitkat, but I do not believe it was fixed with Lollipop.
[Nexus 6  General] Armxnian:
Works for me. If it didn't work for you, it was more likely a fault with the default encoding settings rather than the file system. Screenshot attached.
[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
Huh.

Maybe it was a Samsung thing.

My Nexus has good battery life but it gets rather warm. Warmer than my note 3. Not hot to the touch just really warm. Is this normal for the N6? Other than that I have yet to find one bug. The device is buttery smooth , powerful, I absolutely LOVE the dual front speakers! I have never had a cell phone with sound this good. It also fit in my hand and pocket better than the note 3 even though its bigger
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
Its that 4k screen. No wonder they used the 805 there would have been many issues with an 810 and 4k imo

I'm thinking of the Ringke Slim version that doesn't show the logo. Do you think they are good quality and fit? I read somewhere they are better than Spigen cases.

I have the ringke max. It shows the entire nexus logo with the m in a clear window . it also has plugs for the headphone and USB ports. It seems to be a high quality case.

Jacob knows a great deal about mobile photography in general and if you contact him he is extremely helpful. He has a large following on G+ many of whome are very experienced mobile photographers and you can throw questions out on there too. It's also a great place for inspiration, the work is often extraordinarily good.

Hi fellow full size human, I hope you are enjoying your stay in Lilliput :D

I'm a total noob but I have been reading XDA for a couple of years on and off.

I wonder if you could be so good as to enlighten me? My Windows laptop recently lost it's HDD which I could replace however I would much prefer to switch to a Chromebook or even better just stay with Android.

As I am seriously considering a Nexus 6 do you think I can flash ROMs and kernels without the Windows OS? I also have a stock / unrooted Nexus 7 2013.

Is it possible? Am I crazy? Or is it no big deal?

Thanks in advance from a paid up member of the What's the weather like up there? Society.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
You can flash ROMs and kernels directly from a custom (i.e. TWRP) recovery on your Nexus 6. But the key (unasked) question is what type of computer should you migrate to for use of ADB and fastboot (Android SDK). You have three choices:

1) another Windows PC

2) a Mac

3) a linux computer (i.e. Ubuntu)

Each has their strengths and weaknesses. Their fanboys and detractors. Do some research, and/or ask a few specific questions here. Good luck.
[Nexus 6  General] ianovic:
Thanks!

[Nexus 6  General] :
Today, at work, I was able to showcase skills I've just learned with skills I already possessed. They're allowing me the use of a tablet PC. So, of course I asked if I could install ADB and fastboot so I could communicate with Android. They were happy to oblige. I took an in-store practice phone, a Samsung Galaxy Nexus that wasn't working. I installed a new USB/charging port and reassembled, then charged it up. (New skills) As soon as I charged it up and powered on, i connected to PC and began using ADB. It took a bit for me to get Windows 8.1 to work properly with fastboot, being that I usually use Windows 7 and I'm not familiar with 8.1 at all. I used XDA to get it squared away and proceeded to do my thing. I unlocked the bootloader, installed custom recovery, flashed unofficial Cyanogenmod 12.1 and gapps. I took an outdated device, running Android 4.2.2 and updated it to 5.1.1, the newest version available. (Old skills) Best day I've ever had in my working life.
[Nexus 6  General] beachbum40:
Thanks all
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
Lucky! Sometimes I spend some hours of my day on fastboot. Man the galaxy nexus a classic!

so, should I get the N6?

story goes. mum was trying to be all brave and taking pics on streetwalker in front of our new business. she got her N5 jacked from her hands, and now needs a phone, I'm debating on getting the N6, and giving her my N5 since it's something the old lady already knows how to use. should I go that path and get a the N6 at twice the price I paid for the N5 I love, when the device is already about to be "out of date" in only a few more months from now. are there glaring issues to be worried about. was it as big of a flop as the N9 that I actually like. is it being supported like the N5 and even the V.Gnex was.

please post the good, bad, and ugly while I read thru the threads ..
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Best phone I ever had, wouldn't want a smaller device anymore. No issues with glare personally. And no this device will be good for another 2 years. The N6 is worth the money in my opinion.

I love mine.

+ Great camera (especially with HDR+ turned on)

+ Massive, beautiful, rich 2k screen

+ Dual front-facing speakers. Loudest phone I've ever had, and I had an HTC One M7

+ Charges super fast

+ Great silicon. Everything is fast

+ All the other great stuff about Nexus (yeah, you get your updates fast and fresh)

- Battery life is meh

- one-handed typing is impossible (without a 3rd party keyboard)

- won't fit in girl pockets (I assume you are a guy, but I dunno)

- Not super new anymore (but still more up-to-date on the software side than anything else)

New member, first Nexus phone, bizarrely. Won't be my last. I love this phone. Haven't been this addicted to a new phone since the Note 2. It was a progressively more frustrating trip as I bought new Notes culminating in the 4, which I really disliked by the end. My only concerns were the camera and lacking a SD card. Turns out this camera is plenty good enough for me, and Chainfire's StickMount completely blew my mind and now I don't need a SD card. Anyhow, this phone is amazing, better late than never.

[Nexus 6  General] juggaknot77:
Don't know if anyone is interested but I managed to get tablet mode enabled on the nexus 6 also if anyone here has managed to do it through other methods then by all means post your tutorial..

You'll need 4 apps..

Texdroid

Big Font

LMT Launcher

Nova Launcher

Make sure you're running a custom ROM that let's you change the DPI, I'm using euphoria.

Go to texdroid first and change the DPI to 300, reboot, once it's rebooted then go into system, display and change your DPI to 380, reboot again and boom you should have tablet mode enabled. To make the font bigger use big font from the play store and LMT Launcher for full display experience..

Here's some sample pics..

Enjoy..

Next Nexus 6

I think the next big Nexus will probably also be called Nexus 6 (2015 release). Ordered a case yesterday on Amazon and this is the discription:

Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case for the Google Nexus 6 / Motorola Nexus 6 (2014 Release).

Scource: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00P0HJ46O/ref=pe_386171_38075861_TE_item.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
I have also have enabled tablet mode on my N6 (stock ROM, rooted, encrypted).

Changed only the value of LCD_density from 560 to 384 with build prop.editor (play store).

After that I changed the font size to huge. (settings)

Works great. Plenty room for icons and widgets.

The only issue I found is that some buttons are to small to display the entire text (when huge font is selected).

Your post gave me the idea to install another font.

NOTE.

The native resolution of the N6 is 493 DPI.

Can't understand why Google set this to 560 DPI.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Stock and energy

Late reaction. But just reading this nice thread..

My reason to look for a new ROM was 'better battery life', because the amoled screen comsumes a lot of energy.

I was looking for possiblities to use black themes. Black background where possible. I tried the rom's CM 12.1 and Chroma.

CM 12.1 has nice themes, but I changed to Chroma because it is closer to stock. Tried some dark themes and it was working great.

Made backups with TWRP of every rom/data combination, so I can switch easily.

I am Dutch and have to switch frequently languages and spelling control.

I use 4 keyboard layouts: English - Dutch - English PC - Dutch PC. Especially the PC keyboards are useful(numbers at the top)

Unfortunately the keyboard settings with PC layout are not available in Chroma.

Now. . . . I am back to stock 5.1, because of the language/keyboard stuff in the stock ROM.

Google gave us only light material apps. Not optimized for amoled displays in my view (too much white).

Below the things I did to extend the battery life with the stock rom. Might be useful to others.

Flashing

Franco' s kernel (default settings).

Black google now launcher (XDA thread)

Blocked auto update of Google app - see notes below)
​

Settings

Changed wifi-interval to 200 (build.prop editor).

Tablet mode: changed the value of LCD_density from 560 to 384 DPI (build.prop editor)

Disabled some services (XDA Guide to disable Google play services; app 3C Toolbox).

Disabled not used Google apps.​

Energy saving apps

No Wallpaper app.

Pixel Battery Saver.

Greenify.

Clean Manager (to block most apps to auto start).

K-9 mail with dark theme (instead of Gmail).

Dropbox of the blackout team.
​

NOTES

Pixel battery saver switches of pixels, there are a lot of options. Needs some trial/error.

When active it is possible that ticking on button/link won't work. In that case change the settings or turn it off.

The black google now launcher does not work when the original stock GNL is updated to a recent version.

[Nexus 6  General] Migamix:
Thanks people, yeah, I broke all types of protocol posting this . I just wanted fast fresh responses.. Nothing like getting that msg from mum "heading to ATT for a new phone" ... My slow motion "noooooooooooo" (reaching hand out to stop someone) kicked in, I wanted a reason to get the N6, and this was the moment. So mum has my N5 now, and my N6 is still sitting in the "pending" status for delivery. So, sorry people. You will now be getting this grumpy ole lunatic thrashing around in your threads.

I'll be the bastard to say it, the only problems I've seen with N6 owners is the id10t error, failure to properly OEMunlock and things that should be done slowly and carefully due to LP changes (I own the N9 and know some of the issues already with those changes)

>ninjaaroon I can almost 1hand type with my N7 (currently playing the part of my main wannabe phone right now since I need it for work) and my hands are kinda girly. The N7 fit in my pocket as I wear BDU pants (comfortable as hell). The N5 was soooo last year +1, and it performs like a champ for everything I threw at it. So judging by other people's comments I'd guess it should be OK.

I'd only hope that as the device no longer has that "nexus" pricing , it would actually give me the flagship happiness for a longer period of time, and not decay in usefulness and life like the V-GNex did after 1 year.

Thanks, and sorry you will have to deal with me in your threads now ?
[Nexus 6  General] danarama:
I've come from the N5 and this is so much better if you're ok with the size.

[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
When you have a N6 you don't need the N7 anymore. It is possible to set the N6 in tablet mode, but that requires rooting.

What is wise? I think selling the N7, and buying the N6. And also keep your old PC alive in case you need it for backing up your N6 and of course rooting adb, fastboot etc.

When you are rooted and have flashed TWRP recovery you are able to download kernels and ROMs to internal storage and flash it with TWRP in recovery mode,

Since I have the N6 (tablet mode, stock 5.1) I hardly use the PC.
[Nexus 6  General] cappa662:


The camera is hot garbage IMO. Especially coming from the LG G2 which was a beast. Rarely had any blurry pics. As a parent, having a nice camera is necessary.

In-volume call is horrible, the in volume call is just way too low (but there is a fix for it). Can't hear the other person, however speaker works amazingly well.

I never had a problem with my battery. Last me the whole day without having to charge. Of course, I am surfing the web, texting and occasionally playing Clash of Clans during my lunch hour.

Everything else, is correct.

Personally, this is my one and only Nexus device that I will ever buy. I'll never buy another Nexus device ever again. The two things (camera and calls) that I really need to work well... don't work well.

Which ROMs have you guys found to be packed with the most features/customization? I think I'm just being greedy, I went with AICP for now because I can change tons of color schemes and layouts, also loving wake gestures, gesture anywhere, etc.

I haven't found a ROM with more features than AICP yet but I'm still looking for more ROMs to flash as I am somewhat of a flashaholic, any suggestions?
