Buying phone from another country

I'm planning to ask a relative to buy me a nexus 5X from Canada, and I intend to use it in Egypt. Is the network/calling stuff going to work normally? I know it's going to be unlocked but I'm just asking for the "network bands" I see listed on gsmarena.

LTE bands for various phone versions

I am confused about the LTE band support in different models.

I need the bands 7 and 20 for it to work in Russia (if I am not mistaken). But I got confused if these are supported on the US version of the phone.

On one hand I see these where the bands 7 and 20 are mentioned as supported. I can't post the links but here are there descriptions which can be googled:

support google nexus 5x tech spec

gsmarena nexus 5x

On the other hand I see some news about LG-H790 vs LG-H791 nd FCC certifying the phone. And these news do not have the bands 7 and 20 listed.

androidauthority nexus 5x fcc listing

So which of these sources should I trust?

Also is there anybody in Russia or somewhere else who has the US version and can confirm that the bands 7 and 20 work or do not work?

Maybe not a noob question but looking at the past and devices with a sd810, what do you think... did Huawei solve te heat issue with their nexus phone? That is my biggest concern about it and camera hump will easy get cover by case, hopefully :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSTALGIA:
we wont be getting any answer until users will have this device in their own hands...

this is same story as the oneplus 2... they say its not gonna heat because of the lower core power combo with the sd810 but some users still experienced heat issues after using the device for some time...

so possible that the answer would ,, yes theres still heating up , or no its cool now...

so again we have to wait for the real world experience...

Will the USB Type C cable that comes with the phone work with my old USB chargers, external batteries, etc? Is the connection that doesn't plug into the phone a regular USB connection that will plug into my computer? I haven't been keeping up with the USB Type C stuff..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpbl1976:
Your old USB chargers should work; the underlying USB standard's backward's compatible so it shouldn't have any problem drawing power from older USB chargers that supply the necessary voltage to the device. I have a OnePlus 2 and I'm able to use the accompanying cable with a variety of chargers.

So I have a concern regarding the 810 V2.1

I have the OPT right now and I'm returning it

I noticed that the 6P has down clocked it as well from 2.0 to 1.8, the OPT definitely throttles when you game for a while and gaming tests have shown this how the phone starts lagging.

Even when you run benchmarks continuously the scores keep going down.

Is this something we should be concerned about? Or is the following happening with the OPT because of how they have configured their OS plus the OPT definitely gets hot when playing games on it for a while.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apache0c:
I've read that even with the open source hardware driver binaries, the nexus devices still typically suffer from issues with custom ROM's like certain features not working. Is this true, and if so why?

I love this phone and I'm looking forward to getting a CM or custom CM based ROM with theme support to make the OS look cool. Personally I find plain Android to be ugly. Better functionally wise but ugly, so a CM based ROM on the Nexus 6P with Project Fi service seems like the best of all available worlds.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big Cam:
I watched the Nexus event live and also it has been confirmed on numerous sites, this will definitely work on Verizon's network, as long as you have a nano sim for Verizon.

I heard of issues with the Moto X where you had to call customer service with your phone info, but even if this phone has the same issues, bottom line is it will work.

Trouble making Adb backup

Hi all,

I'm looking to unlock my bootloader and eventually root my Nexus 6P.

I've tried a few of the Adb based toolkits. My first step has been to try to make a full backup as I've already been using my phone and don't want to lose what I've already set up.

No matter what I do, whenever I run a back up which uses Adb, I get the message 'Backup Successful'.. But there's no backup... Just an empty folder. This has happened using the Skipsoft tool at work on a PC, and at home using the Toolkit on my mac.

I've searched on Google, and have set backup passwords in developer settings... Still nothing.

Any ideas.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
You should be able to back your stuff up to your computer without any tool kit if your computer is recognizing the phone. I used the unlock thread by Heisenberg to do everything. It's not that hard to set up an adb environment. Once you get it set up its just as easy as the tool kits and you learned how to do something in case you get into trouble the tool kits can't fix. The only problem I had was getting the phone to recognize this computer or visa versa. Follow Heisenberg's instructions it will take you awhile to setup but worthnitnin the end.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruiz1022:
I have a question. I tried rooting my 6p with wugfresh and it didn't work. So I tried flashing stock and unrooting with the toolkit. But I've been stuck in the boot logo for 3 hours now.

Can anyone help me out on what I should do? Thank you
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
What Build were you on you can't root the first stock. Also you can't flash stock if you modified that's probably why your in a loop.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruiz1022:
MDA89D. . And I understand what you're saying thank you. How can I get out of the loop?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfly212:
I was able to upload the apk and data file for Kii keyboard (my favorite and no longer in the Store) by sharing the files to Dropbox. From there I installed the apk and opened the backup data file and it worked fine. This was pre-rooting.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
My best guess would be to use adb to go back to stock look at Heisenberg's thread in xda. Can you get into any recovery you must have twrp. Power volume down should get you there.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruiz1022:
Yes I can get into recovery with no problem. I'll take a look now. Thank you! I've always been on the forums on Android central but never here lol
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have 2 questions...

What is the easiest way to make flashing updates a breeze if I have mods in /system partition? I have heard of "freezing" them. Or is the only option... to delete every mod and flash updates? If so, should I keep a note of every change I make to/system?

And last... Should I make a backup of any file i am replacing or overwriting in /system? And if so, do I have to put them back how they were before flashing an update?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I know this works on previous versions but as of marshmallow, can I install the ota update with an unlocked boot loader? I have not rooted or twrp.

Might be the wrong place to ask this, but i figured since it was the noob thread...

So i finally got my fi invite, but it said my credit check didn't pass (even though i have a very good score). I don't want to shell out $600 in one go, however. What other options are there? (i know you can buy from huawei, but there's a 10% apr on that, which is a ripoff.) If i buy from the google store (not through fi) i've heard i can still pay in chunks... is this true?

aaand one last question (sorry): my account is like halfway through the ordering process with fi. can i just leave it sit for a while? will i loose my invite if i wait too long (how long)?

So I installed TWRP which was pretty easy and I've been trying to sideload the cutome MDB08K file and it keep failing. Now when I boot my device it says "Your device is corrupt and cannot be trusted. Device may not work properly". Should i be worried if so how can I fix that?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
How are you sideloading the boot.img?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XavierD8188:
While in the Bootloader Screen I type in "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and it will say it's complete but when I go into the settings it still says MDB08L. Should I be flashing MDB08M instead? I unlocked the bootloader and installed the latest version of TWRP fine but that's the part I'm stuck on..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Are you certain that you have the right boot.img in your fastboot folder?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XavierD8188:
I was using your guide and followed the link to the page for the angler boot image. Since I'm on MDB08L, do I even need to do that to root?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You definitely need the modified boot.img for root. It might be worth updating the the M build first anyway.

After 7.1.2, SIM Card not detected

Hi everyone,

I've received today the OTA for the 7.1.2 uptdate, after it my phone didn't detect my SIM card, and my IMEI number disappeared. I've tried the SIM into an other phone and it worked perfectedly. I've tried a soft reset, an hard reset (factory reset+wipe data), and wiping the cache without any positive result. I've contacted Google but no answer so far, the phone was from Google Store and my 1 year warranty expired last month.

I don't know what to do now, I'm little bit desperate, if anyone have an advice here.

Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone,

I'm planning on acquiring a new Nexus 6p as I read that it is an excellent phone for its price right now.

Can you guys support this basing in your real life experience? How's battery life with the latest software?

Also, I know that there are two variants to the 6p. Are the ROMS compatible with both variants since I don't see any of the ROMS post specifying which variant is it for?

Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hello...

You can check this forum if you need some real life experience: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/review

In my opinion, it's (still) a great device. I don't play games, so the SD810 heating issue doesn't affect my judgment. Camera is good. Screen is good as well. As for battery life... You know it really depends on your usage. If you have 4G/LTE all day long, with 50 apps syncing all the time. Watching videos and using Facebook apps. Of course it won't last long. :)

As for N6P variants, you don't have to worry. They both carry the same hardware. Someone corrects me if I'm wrong, but only the radio frequencies change from one another. So you can use any ROM on both variants.

A few words about reliability:

I used my N6P during one year and it never failed me. My wife uses it now and it still performs great. No issue whatsoever. But some users experience issues, and maybe you should know about those before making your choice. Check those threads:

Hope that helps...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KimCheeZZ:
Thank you so much for your informative answer. I will give those two threads a read. I'm mostly concerned about the slow shutter speed of the camera and/ or possibly burnt in (used to be a thing with oled displays, not quite sure how good it had gotten now) of the display since I'm actually looking into getting a second hand unit. It's for my girlfriend and she has got a shattered screen on her xiami redmi note 3. Awesome device for the price but camera isn't up to par.

Thanks for the insight once again! :laugh:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hey...

No issues with burn in on my screen. Since I use immersive mode, I don't have the navbar/status bar displayed all the time...

The camera is ok. The shutter speed is not as fast as Samsung latest device estimated, but I was able to live with it. In the review link I provided I guess there are more feedback which may help you decide if it's worth it.
