I guess it wasn't clear when I said my fault that I bought it knowing the size. And maybe T-Mobile wasn't clear when they announced it would have wifi calling at the launch "...beginning in early 2015 with an over-the-air update– making it the first-ever Nexus device that will support Wi-Fi Calling thanks to enhancements in Android 5.0." http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/news/t...-to-its-data-strong-network-this-november.htm. This wasn't a suggestion, it was as much a feature as everything else they listed.

Very happy yours is bug free. Mine isn't, you can read about bugs on this forum, the Motorola forum and the Google Nexus group. All those people that have the screen going dark during calls due to screen protectors and an overly sensitivity proximity sensor will be happy to know your phone is bug free.

Someone started a discussion about opinions on the phone, I gave mine. Maybe I do have a dud phone. Maybe we all aren't happy with the phone. I have no vested interest in Google nor a reason to bash them. I use their paid services and buy their hardware. Calling them out for a great phone with the N5 and a not so great phone with the N6 allows them to improve on what works and what doesn't.

Thanks for the suggestion. I plan to root but haven't yet, just waiting for the wifi calling update and not sure if root will cause me problems getting/.using it. I plan to run the xposed framework and get the notification LED working. Can't believe the LED is there but Google has it disabled. A friend bought the Note 4 and it comes with a "one handed" app that makes the screen smaller and shifts it to the lower right corner so it is more easily reached with one-handed operation.

Reading that MS is defending its use of hamburger menus because most users use a phone with two hands. Maybe I'm doing it all wrong ;) Running through Manhattan with a shoulder bag and standing on the subway, one handed operation is a necessity.

Can anyone tell me what the small dot kinda thing, just like a dot, it's visible in light, is in front facing camera.? It moves when you rotate the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] bbedward:
You know what they say about small hands ;)
[Nexus 6  General] orangechoochoo:
Dude, chill out. Not everyone is well endowed, and even still they don't know how to use it. He said it himself "not a fault of the design. Still, they should have a way to use it with one hand". So the size is fine but it must magically shrink (or his hand get bigger) so it's manageable for him to use.

Just accept your physical limitations. As for the other stuff, log cat or it's an excuse. And the slippery surface, well, too much alone time and too much lube would be the culprit.

Ya, I'm messing around. It's Friday so I'm enjoying some beer before heading out. If the N6 doesn't fit you, that's fine. Not every size 10 shoe fits every size 10 person. As far as software problems, maybe you have a lemon, hopefully you can replace/exchange it. I would hate to have a crappy phone, hopefully things work out :good:
[Nexus 6  General] Exel:
Traded my S6 for a N6.

Worth it.

'Nuff said.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
No you are not wrong. The size of the N6 and the weight make its somewhat more difficult to use when you are on the road.

And the amoled display causes battery drain because Google apps/system have a white background.

But after rooting, flashing Franco Kernel, some tweaking and buying a vertical belt case, I can handle it.

Important for me is the good performance. The size of the display makes it possible to use the PC keyboard layout.

EDIT.

Forgot to write that since the N6 I hardly use the PC.

Android Lollipop is hands down the best version of Android yet, it shows the real evolution of android, yeah it has it bugs but on phones like Nexus 6 they don't feel much, hell even my Xperia s is running very smooth on lollipop custom rom
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
I came from a google play edition HTC one m8 and my only complaint was the that I wish the screen was bigger. When the Nexus came out it was a real God send and I new I had to buy it with a massive 6 inch screen and front facing speakers
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
The most annoying bug is the fact that Lollipop on N6 is not optimized for the amoled display. All Google apps have a white background causing battery drain. The colors of text and background cannot be changed.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
I`am running CM12.1 wich offers a variety of dark/black themes wich look very good imo and make all the whites in the stock theming black ;)
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Still in doubt about flashing CM. Running now stock 5.1, rooted, encrypted, flashed franco.kernel.r28.

Disabled not used apps and services and changed the LCD density to 384 and the font size to huge.

The N6 runs now in tablet mode and I like everything, except Google's light material.

B.t.w. I also have the old N4 updated to Lollipop. And the Google launcher is different.

It has a black background.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
CM is stable and fast with a lot of useful options imo. Franco kernel is compatible now with cm so you don't have to miss that. Just make a backup of your current rom if you want to try it and flash it.

No problems so far

I have had my nexus 6 for about 4 months now.. As a pervs atrium I actually did a factory reset after the 5.1 update.. I have not had any problems yet besides the battery just being total garbage. But other Than that its been smooth sailing. I use next launcher
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
Aww thanks.

Just wish my time with the N6 had been pleasant one.

[Nexus 6  General] henrybravo:
Too bad there isn't a forum in existence that has a collection of custom ROMs with theme engines that would allow you to darken the background color of Google Apps and other things. I'll do a Google search and report back with anything I find.

edit: I found a website called xda-developers.com, you should check it out. They even have a dedicated Nexus 6 section. You can download ROMs with the RRO or CM12 theme engines and install a variety of dark based overlays or themes, many of which are on the Play store. I even read about special versions of gapps that are blacked out.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Thanks, in the meantime I got help from 'gee2012'. I am going to download CM12.1 rom and trying the 'darkness' .
[Nexus 6  General] montaseromer:
For me it's first time for buying nexus phone, I love Stock Android, I love Big Screen, but I hope Google will add features like Knock ON, Easy way to take Screen Shot, and more features that will give the Phone more and more.

Samsung doesn't seem to have an issue with that. I think people put way too many eggs in that basket. Unless of course you spend your primary time in settings.
[Nexus 6  General] TheDom82:
I love my Nexus 6. But I had to request a replacement 2 days ago. I'm sure it's a fluke, but the screen has started to separate from the frame at the top in the middle and at the bottom in the middle. Basically at the top and bottom near the headphone jack and micro usb jack, there is a gap between the wrap around glass and the frame. I can actually see into the phone and see metal parts. Google was great to deal with. They sent me an email after the phone call with a link to order a replacement. It was simple and fast. I should be getting my replacement phone in 2 days.

Has anyone else had this issue? It's not the back cover coming off. The glass is separating from the frame.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Found that ' basket ' but Samsung has broken all the eggs.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Flashed CM12.1 and is working great with Franco kernel. Thx for the links.

Installed dark theme from Nicholas.

Interesting is the possibility to combine settings from different themes.

Hey sorry for the late reply on this, so if you're still fan of the nexus experience, stock Android etc, then yes the nexus 6 is a really nice device.

It is big, but I got used to it and it's fantastic. It can't match the gs6 camera of course, but it's still decent.

If I were you I'd try and have a go with a nexus 6 in a store, see what ya think.
[Nexus 6  General] Ryjabo:
Pushing power and volume down at the same time is hard?
[Nexus 6  General] :
If you're looking for a feature filled device, then you shouldn't choose a Nexus. The Nexus line has never been about tons of "extra" features found on other OEM devices. There's a reason behind this. Look up the history of Nexus phones. :)
[Nexus 6  General] Dreddge:
Admittedly, this is my first nexus. However, I've had several flagship devices (s3, note, note 2, note 3, LG Optimus G Pro, LG G2, LG G3) and this is the best I've owned. I'm rooted and running DU 5.1.1
[Nexus 6  General] ford12acing:
i hate my nexus 6, it's probably the slowest android device i've ever owned with the worst battery life too.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Well the problem is definately at your end mate, try to identify the culprit that makes your Nexus slow or don`t let the door hit you on the way out ;)
[Nexus 6  General] dohturdima:
I came from a VZW Note 3 - had been using Samsung phones since OG Epic on Sprint. While I miss certain Touchwiz features, expandable storage and removable battery on Nexus 6, what I don't miss is crap Samsung radio, the bloatware (which, when removed would adversely impact performance), the lockdown on the new versions of Android which forced me to stay a few versions back just to keep root, the crap battery life and random reboots. CM solves some of these problems but adds a bunch of other glitches and is not a solution IMO; timely updates = seamless integration of the hardware and software on a manufacturer level is. This phone is hands down the smoothest experience I've had with Android phone to date, and don't see myself owning anything else besides a Nexus device when running Android. If I ever need a reminder of what a crap Android experience is like, I have GNote 12.2 tab which is still randomly rebooting for no reason, is laggy, will void warranty if rooted and will be stuck on KitKat until the end of time. But dat 12.2 screen! [emoji41] Wait...
[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
The slowest device you've ever owned? SO... you're from the future?

Seriously, this is by far the smoothest android I've ever used. Maybe you've got too many bloated apps running?

In response to the last poster, the last samsung phone I owned was the S3 and it had horrible signal issues. My GPS especially was hit or miss, I couldn't rely on it for directions because I never knew when it would lose GPS signal. My N6 hasn't had any signal issues at all, no dropped calls or gps cut outs.
[Nexus 6  General] ford12acing:
"owned" is past tense, i dont understand how that translates to me being the future? i dont have any bloated apps running, and in fact, i have recently installed so that i can purge all the running apps from memory, and i reset my phone several times a day, and it still lags.

I've had my Nexus 6 for a couple of months and I absolutely love it. This is the first phone that I've not been tempted to root or flash another rom. Sure, the apps don't start before I click the icon, but it's plenty fast even with encryption turned on. It's very rare that I use my Nexus 7 since getting this phone.

Totaly agree with you, people complain about split second micro lags as if the device were at crawling speed. Don`t understand sometimes what the problem is besides them running dozens of apps in the background ;)

[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
The topic is ' Nexus 6 ' not people.

Let's write only about the pro/contra of the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
The nexus 6 is defiantly the worst Nexus Device so far, however its mainly caused by the mess of Lollipop builds.

The device its self is solid but brings its own pitfalls :

Its too slim at its edges and the shape of the device leads to a slippery form factor.

The backing is so slippery with dry hands coupled with the above its akin to a bar of soap.

The 1440 display is nice but its defiantly eating battery vs 1080 screens, TBH in day to day usage you'd not really care if it was 1440 or 1080, so 1440 is just a show off spec at the cost of good planning for day to day usage on G's part.

The Flash is pretty shoddy, its very misted by the so called focal rings but makes for a great torch !

In True Nexus way the camera can still be better for the price point honestly i can't tell any difference between my old N4 and the N6 @ 1080 rez, google really need to make the camera app have a few more options and speed up their camera in general

The rest is down to Lollipop really, between all the 5.X.X updates and different build numbers e.c.t its just a huge steaming mess and its tarnished any shine the N6 had on launch.

Memory leak

Vanishing apps from multi tasking

General slow down in the OS and launcher - still on 5.1 getting the launcher lagg out and multi tasking get stuck and then vanish as if no apps where running.

Terrible BT streaming that Jitters and misses audio ( no update has fixed this issue, setting a higher clock speed as an idle while running BTSHARE helps )

Slow Camera app

Switch your Keyboard to material dark theme and enjoy watching it freak out back to white or flash the white theme randomly ( still happens on 5.1 )

The flaky proximity sensor that detects when the device is near to your face, that refuses to work correctly and leaves you to use power button to end call.

Notification LED not implemented

Active display just being quite frankly useless, turning the POS off saves you a little battery and you don't have to read that pointless pop up shade ( esp for Android wear users or people who use vibrate )

TBH its always felt like a rush job, using motorola was a big mistake and after SIlver got canceled they had to deliver something, the nexus 6 is Likley to be my last nexus handset until Google gets its act together the LG devices where great and for their price delivered what you expected.

The N6 is an Nice but expensive "Experiment" i'd hesitate to call it a "Good Phone" or recommend it over The N5.

Again I'd even say stay away from 5.X.X for another 6 Months until they fix it or just Nuke it and bring us KK 4.4.5 !

Back to my N5 4.4.4 CM11 Rom when my N6 dies TBH i can't wait
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
The N6 with a thin silicon case works fine in practice. Solves the ' slippery ' problem.

The Lollipop software including the light material design needs some changes. We have to wait for updates, but in the meantime I flashed Franco's kernel. That causes a better battery life.

The N6 can be used in tablet mode by changing the value of LCD density to 384 and the font size to large/huge.

That's why I think the N6 is a good product. It can be customized thanks to the dev's here.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
Anyone that had a nexus one should remember the huge touchscreen bug! Having to turn off the screen and back on to fix it was really annoying as it as hard to tell how long before it would start. Nobody was able to fix it. Great little phone though. Even a baby could hold it.

My nexus 6 has run perfect. Google has made some system changes I do not like however the phone runs perfect. I actually do not remeber the last time I rebooted it!

[Nexus 6  General] Ryjabo:
I don't understand the "slow camera app" complaint. If the complaint is that it's slow while using HDR+ all I can do is *facepalm* because that's an issue of the user not understanding what HDR+ is doing. If you turn off HDR+ it's pretty fast. I have pictures on my phone of my 6-year-old son running and moving around and there is absolutely no motion blur, and I took them with the Google Camera app.

He was squirming and his legs swinging around in this one: http://i.imgur.com/SUuzRLz.jpg

Also moving pretty fast when I took this shot, too: http://i.imgur.com/prJx2D5.jpg

And he was running "super speed" (he calls it) here: http://i.imgur.com/uQeAyaJ.jpg

If you take shots like that with HDR+ on, they'll blur for sure. Without it, even Google Camera takes pretty good, quick snaps!

My ONLY complaint is that I have to use LCamera if I want good video... it seems like the Google Camera app auto focuses constantly and it is really annoying.

Once you've had the experience of a great ROM (like Chroma or Euphoria) and you really get into how incredibly customizable everything is, it's incredibly hard to be satisfied with any other device that doesn't allow you as much freedom. There will always be something shiny and new (like the S6/S6 Edge), but once you go Nexus, you never go back.
[Nexus 6  General] rrmzr1:
I feel like people are just butthurt about the price. Im glad google made a superior device with specs to match competitors. Finally I get to own a stock android device with a screen larger than 5.5in a quadcore processor and a decent camera to boot. 3gb of ram. 64gb of storage. Perfect to me. Quite honestly I only bought a note 4 to eventually hope for a stable build of cm anyway

The only way I can put it I've never owned a phone that had me caring less about newer phones coming out. The N6 is the first. Spectacular phone.
[Nexus 6  General] brando56894:
I've had about 6 different Android phones since the OG Droid in 2010 and the 6 I'd by far the best: Motorola's excellent build quality, beautiful huge HD screen, amazing battery life (on mine at least, I'm a pretty heavy user), one little thing that I love is the lack of a edge between the screen and the bezel. The gap there on other phones would annoy me when using swipe gestures or pie controls. Its a seamless swipe on the 6. One of the greatest things is finally being able to buy a phone that has 64 GB of internal storage, I do miss having an SD card though because when I brick the phone and have to reflash it I tend to lose everything because I forget to back up things often.

Yes it is, but the software could be better. For the sake of battery life I flashed the Chroma ROM especially to use black themes.

Installed Timberwolf but apps as Gmail and Dropbox stays white.

Also the AOSP keyboards are ugly white and harder to use.

Is there an option to change the colors of text and background?

For instance the grey text on white in Gmail is difficult to read.

Who can give an explanation why the Android Lollipop theme are light and ugly and not optimized for use on an Amoled display?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Nerva:
I'm having a strange problem with Dropsync/Autosync/Onesync on my GS4 running the "Mostly Stock NG2 v1.3" ROM -- I patched it to allow writing to the external SD card, but for some reason, even though the sync apps show the external SD card as writable, they don't show the emulated/0 folder as being writable, and the apps don't create their application directories as they normally should -- as a result, even though they can write to the SD card, they can't sync because they can't write to the device to keep track of what has been synced. I contacted the developer but he wasn't able to help me, besides identifying the problem is on the device storage side of things rather than a SD card issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
