lol@ "made a cabin" at nexus 6!

I wish I would have grabbed the nexus instead of that POS S6 edge, but hey, we all make mistakes in life sometimes!

4 more weeks or so until I can ditch the S6.. Even my wife and son wont switch with me, no matter how much I plead with them..
[Nexus 6  General] FoneWatcher:
That sounds like a fascinating ROM for battery life, but I have to have stock kernel to preserve TMOUS WiFI calling - absolute necessity where I live.
[Nexus 6  General] graydiggy:
The S6 and S6 Edge are far from POS...

Yes, they have flaws and poor design without an SD or removable battery... But they are 2 of the most powerful phones on the market.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume you are on a carrier that locks the bootloaders and that's why you are displeased with your experience.
[Nexus 6  General] FoneWatcher:
Anything under 5.96" is a deal-breaker for me, anything over is too big to carry/ car use. If I'm going to rugged activity, I just use an old Moto G for beach, etc.

Yep, you said it - I guess it's a matter of personal taste, but aside from "because Sammy", a friend of mine has a Edge 6 and it's atrocious. Just 3 minutes of playing around with it and I felt like I wanted to hang myself. I just said, "hey, that's really cool" and slid it back across the table to him
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
well, sound like youll be with the nexus 6 for a while :)
[Nexus 6  General] FoneWatcher:
lol. IKR?
[Nexus 6  General] wase4711:
nope on Tmobile, so locked BL is not an issue; yes, the phones are very fast, I will give you that..

horrible battery life, phone gets VERY hot all the time, memory mgmt is very poor

No source for Exxnos roms from Samusung for this phone, so its either a couple of touchwiz/international variants or stock, and thats after 6 months of the S6/Edge being out.

those are the samsung issues

As far as things like dev, there are zero roms for t mobile, a couple of international Touch Jizz type roms, but zero AOSP

very disappointing, but fortunately, with Tmobile, you only have to deal with it for 6 months, and with the new version of Jump, its even shorter than that
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Don't look only to the size of the display, but also to the resolution and sound, battery life and car mount etc...

The N6 has a very good sound. Loud/good enough to use it in my car with gps navigation.

No car integration necessary.

The display of the N6 makes it possible to use it as a tablet.

When the dpi-settings are set to 384 than Android switches to tablet mode.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
yup. i feel itll be a while before another 5.96" phone will be released :angel:

[Nexus 6  General] phishfi:
There's also two parts to this story. First of all, the Nexus 6 is a solid enough device to easily last through the next device cycle, if that was the decision Google made (by this I mean that they could get away with launching a revised "Nexus 5" and have it sit alongside the Nexus 6 on the Google Store into 2016. Second, consider that Google may have decided, based on their own sales info, that the size of the Nexus 6 was too big for mainstream sales (I doubt that's the case, but it's still plausible). Lastly, there's little to gain for Google regarding finding a replacement for the Nexus 6 now that the Moto X Pure Edition just launched. It's essentially an upgraded (albeit *slightly* smaller) version of the Nexus 6 ("universal" carrier support without being tied to a carrier's OTA schedule - technically it will be, but you can always force an OTA).

The only question for me is whether or not the new Moto X will have an unlockable bootloader.
[Nexus 6  General] wase4711:
I would be surprised if the moto will have a locked bootloader, but you never know until its out there..

It would be nice to stop buying/selling/"jumping" to a new phone every 6 months or so, and, it looks like the Nexus 6 has everything I like in a phone; great screen, great sound, endless development, and, the "guarantee" of OS updates for a long time..Or, is that not a guarantee with the Nexus line?

I never had one, but its annoying that carriers seem to "abandon" OS updates after a year or so with all of their "flagship" phones...Will the nexus 6 stay update able for the next OS after the upcoming "M" update in your opinion?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Regarding the nexus 6 longevity, I've had this beast since November 20th 2014, and I have zero desire to get a new phone. First time ever, zero desire. :)

The Google Nexus 6 Ⓛⓞⓤⓝⓖⓔ

I would love to get the Nexus 6 on Verizon but they only sell the 32gb version and I'm worried that I will fill up the storage in no time. Between my downloaded music and pictures and videos that I currently shoot on my iPhone 5s 32gb for my YouTube channel, it won't take very long.

Is it possible to add an otg micro sd card adapter and record to the card while shooting? Or do you have to store videos internally and then transfer them?

This is really the only thing holding me back from getting this phone.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Why not buy a N6 with 64Gb somewhere else.

No Sd card slot on the N6.
[Nexus 6  General] Juice3250:
You can plug in a otg cable/adapter with an sd card reader and transfer files.

My question is whether you have to take the video first and save it to the internal storage before you transfer it.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Because there is no Sd slot, my first question is:

Will Android handle the sdcard reader as a 'sd slot' or do you need an app to transfer files ?
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
You could do it, but the camera app would have to allow custom recording locations.
[Nexus 6  General] baiju2012:
This is what I do. Sync the Camera App folders with SyncMe App automatically every night. Then, when the phone is getting filled with too many of my snaps, I other them, once a year.

Hi,

I've been searching XDA left and right trying to find an answer but can't seem to get one that works. I'm trying to update my PRL as I've seen there is a newer one that was posted as of 07/07/2015 from the Sprint Nexus 6 thread. I'm running a custom ROM and was wondering if there was any way to update my PRL without having to flash stock and restore from backup or anything like that. If there is, please help. Thanks in advance.

That's the thing, I can't access the SprintDM menu due to me being on a custom ROM. I'm trying to find a way to manually update it or update it from a different source.

Any more help with this would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'm running Pure Nexus and that one has SprintDM baked in. I'm sure some others do as well. Otherwise, if you're not on a ROM that supports it, you'll have to flash stock and update, then flash your custom ROM.

So a few weeks back I asked about an issue with the top speaker and ended up getting a replacement phone. I have a new problem and am wondering if anyone else has experienced it, I get this sort of robotic/static like effect when on phone calls sometimes.

Textra + adaway question

simply, why doesn't adaway work with textra?

there was a reply made in the chroma thread that I follow; people recommending sms apps, and one guy suggested to use adaway with textra to get rid of the ads, but i've been using this combo of apps for a while with ads every day in textra. am i missing something?

yes, i know, make the donation for the pro version, i get it, but if there is some way that i'm not suppose to have ads with my current config, i wanna know how please.

thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6  General] graydiggy:
It's hit and miss. The developer updates his app faster than AdAway updates hosts in most cases.
[Nexus 6  General] organick87:
dang, well i guess there's not too much I can do about that lol if that's the case.

do you speak of this through experience?

i will probably upgrade anyway, but i wish background support came with the fee, that's the ONE thing missing from textra.
[Nexus 6  General] graydiggy:
Yep. I stopped using it until I get a new card linked to my account to pay for it.
[Nexus 6  General] Roflopolis:

The Samsung rep for the Verizon wireless store, next to my repair center, came in to visit us today. She had the new Note 5 and edge plus. I was thoroughly unimpressed. While I do agree that the screen is spectacular, I must say, it's still the same old, same old. Touchwiz crap. I laughed out loud when she said that there's zero lag.
[Nexus 6  General] Nephilim:
Honestly, I've never been impressed with Samsung's mobile offerings, only reason I ever owned one was because of the Galaxy Nexus. Now their televisions on the other hand, amazing, not only are they spectacular visually but they last way longer than any other flatscreen I've owned and the replacement parts, if repair is needed, are half the price of LG or Sony.

Kindly explain your process. I am having the same issue.

I am rooted with wugfresh kit and stock rom. having xposed module installed.

I unrooted it through Superuser SU app after that when i download the update i face the same issue as you.
[Nexus 6  General] :
This has been explained countless times.

You can not unroot with SuperSU.

You must flash the system image from the factory image.

OTA will NOT flash with any modifications to system, boot, or recovery images.

Can i download the factory image and while maintaining my rooted status flash it using TWRP?

Verizon Nexus 6 Owners - Please Confirm the Verizon Apps That Download on First Boot

I know someone posted a screenshot of what Verizon apps were pre-installed on the Verizon N6 but I cannot find it.

What apps were pre-installed? MyVerizon, NFL Mobile, Back-up Assistant?

The reason I am asking is b/c of the FCC complaints that are being filed since Verizon won't whitelist the IMEIs of the non-Verizon N6's. Verizon is saying that the Verizon N6 has different software. I know the version of 5.1 but wanted to know about the Verizon apps also.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
They are installed at activation from play store not pre installed. Verizon is full of it.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
if you buy a n6 at verizon, but do not put in the sim card for the first boot up, no verizon apps will install. only with the sim card in it will it install the verizon apps. and the n6 bought at verizon is the same exact n6 that you can buy at google play, only it has a verizon logo on it. the software is exactly tbe same, regardless of what they are saying.

[MENTION=990284]TonyStark[/MENTION] think there's any truth to this?

http://www.droid-life.com/2015/04/17/android-5-1-1-will-probably-arrive-any-day-now/
[Nexus 6  General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I've seen mention to this on the N6 G+ page... Thought it was just rumor.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
Yes, I know this but my question is if you do have an active Verizon SIM card in it when you set it up, what are the apps that get installed?

No, the software is not the same - it is the "E" version of 5.1. Not all N6 have the "E" version of 5.1, which is what the Verizon N6 shipped with.

And what Verizon is saying is exactly what you said above - that apps get downloaded if you have a Verizon SIM card in the phone on first boot up. THAT combined by the different "E" version of 5.1 is what is the basis for them refusing to whitelist the IMEIs.

I know it is a flawed argument, but to counter Verizon's flawed argument you have to start with the facts and I need to know what apps get automatically downloaded when you first boot up a Verizon N6 with an active Verizon SIM card in it.
[Nexus 6  General] jwthompson:
my Verizon and voicemail that I know of for sure
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
my nexus 6, which has a tmobile sim in it, has run the E, M, and now the I version of 5.1. they are all the same versions of software. the only difference is that the E versions has the 98r radio in it. but ot works on tmobile with that radio as well. they are lettered different because each carrier has to approve the update before google pushes it.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I understand all of this. However, I am not the FCC and the facts need to be explained to the FCC.

But this thread is not about that, it is about the Verizon apps that download. Do you know which Verizon apps download on first boot to a Verizon N6 with an active Verizon SIM card in it?
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
Thanks, yeah I forgot about the voicemail app.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
no, unfortunately i dont, sorry. i dont even know which tmobile apps get installed, since i restored a nexus 5 back up for my first n6 boot.
[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
I am skeptical.

Letters at the end are just variants of the same build. Why would it be the same build number as 5.1? 5.1.1 commands more than that, it is a new API level.
[Nexus 6  General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
The process for lollipop has been this order, so far 5.0>5.0.1>5.0.2>5.1

Logical there would be a 5.1.1.

These incremental updates are usually minor adjustments to the previous release.

I've also read there is a new release starting soon, 5.2
[Nexus 6  General] :
I share your skepticism as I immediately thought the same thing. While I do agree that the Nexus 9 is long overdue for an update, I have my doubts that the Nexus 6 might see one of these builds.
[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
I am not talking about OS version numbers, I am talking about build numbers.

LMY47# = 5.1 (# = a letter variant)

LMY47S = 5.1.1?

I just don't buy it.

LMY47 is 5.1 and is the same exact build as each other with different changes to other parts like radios, apns, etc.

I forget the exact coding, but LMY47 stands for version, month and day it was built.
[Nexus 6  General] Imranhakro:
Do i need to flash all these zips one by one? Or only any specific zip?
[Nexus 6  General] :
You can just flash the zip for the factory image you wish to update to.

Caution:

You will be 100% stock after flashing and if you desire TWRP and root afterwards, you will have to take the necessary steps to reinstall them.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
When your N6 works now, you have to flash the new system.ing.

Choose first the right factory image and extract it to the bones. Then flash the new system.ing.

Then you're updated and your data is kept.

But not some settings, such as the LCD density.
[Nexus 6  General] PCWright86:
Quick simple question. I am on chroma with phone being encrypted. If I flash a "M" rom, (decrypted), will it wipe phone. I have read that decrypting the phone wipes everything. Just a little worried and wondering if I should start all over decrypted

No it will not wipe. It only means that you can decrypt if you want.
[Nexus 6  General] PCWright86:
Is it worth it to decrypt, performance wise. As my n6 lags a little here and there , even with Franco r31

**** yeah Nexus 6.

Sorry, but after dealing with locked down phones for so long, I finally bought a moto x 2013 dev edition thinking I was finally going to have an open experience.

Hopefully not ruffling feathers here, but oh my god. That community is brutal. Just saw a thread where someone asked about downgrading, and the response was "you cant. If you want to modify your phone your own your own... You wouldn't put diesel in a regular car and wonder why it didn't work". I get the devices has some special quarks (no downgrading boot, OTAs with mish mashed systems may soft or hard brick), but its difficult to even discuss these quarks there as questions are generally met with "Don't do it, its bad".

There will always be a mixture of ability/knowledge levels in any community, but its good to see a more informed focus on understanding here.

Really enjoying the phone and community support, should have gotten the N6 much earlier.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

I JUST reformatted without encryption. Kinda just because. I was OK with performance, and slightly interested in if there is a difference in battery, though not really expecting one. Really I just tried a custom kernel, didn't have too much to need to back up, so I tried it just cause.

The phone was quick before. I had no complaints. It feels EVER SO SLIGHTLY faster. Like things just snap a little more, an almost unnoticeable extra little pop that is kinda of nice.

I installed elite kernel and rebooted for a couple of minutes, and it felt about the same, then reformatted and was a little surprised I notice a difference.

Kinda the difference between what is fine and works great, and what is expected by people used to fancy new best stuff. very marginal increase that is not particularly significant in anyone area but slightly affects the feel of using the device overall.

I've never enabled encryption before. Its a nice extra layer... If I bought any other phone it wouldn't have it.... So I guess I don't care and may as well have it off?
