[Nexus 6P General] Badouken:
I don't mind it at all, its barely protruding and the phone looks like it'll actually sit still when I set it on a table. Which the Nexus 6 doesn't (it spins) because the back is sooo curved. Also graphite ftw! It barely looks noticeable with black on black.
[Nexus 6P General] Semantics:
I had real concerns looking at the first renders. It looked huge. Its pretty insignificant now that I've seen the phone in people's hands (on video). And I bought one of the 20 dollar Google cases in black which will make it null anyway. :)
[Nexus 6P General] micmars:
Same here...I like it, but still grabbed the graphite 128 GB version just in case it is a bit more obtrusive than it looked during the presentation.

Besides, it's way more fun to get excited about the device that I bought than to kvetch about it before I even have it.

#WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
[Nexus 6P General] Birdsfan:
Completely agree with Badouken, my N6 spins away when I try to type on it while it lays (not flat) on the desk.
[Nexus 6P General] Semantics:
My biggest concern is actually overall size. I've never had a phone bigger than the LG G3, and I hope I won't hate the phablet size.
[Nexus 6P General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I had the 3 and 4. I also had the N6.

This N6P should fall between the N6 and G4.

I did not like the overall size of the N6.
[Nexus 6P General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Hey mate, nice job on the RC:good:

[Nexus 6P General] fatboypup:
I dont think it will be noticeable at all really in a case ....... either way I got the graphite one so it looks like silly.
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
Should have got aluminum, then it would really be Benderesque
[Nexus 6P General] boynamedstacy:
I kinda dig it because it will keep the phone flat on the table unlike some other flagships I've had of late. I got the graphite to help it blend in a bit. And the hump is affectionately referred to as the "Visor" within the nexus team [emoji14]
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
My fear was that the glass back would be raised above the body and lead to scratches, but it looks like it's slightly recessed. It will be nice to use a phone on the table without it rocking.
[Nexus 6P General] detonation:
I had the same thought. Plus it reminds me of the Droid X, which was a beast of a phone. 5 years later and mine is still running strong.
[Nexus 6P General] Pilz:
I bought the graphite as well but i like the look it it. The bump gives the phone character compared to the bland look of other phones lately. I'd rather have a large hump than a single bump like the iPhone/nexus 5x/S6 etc....
[Nexus 6P General] AhsanU:
Same here! Plus, I'm thinking a bit ahead and think the graphite's black button where the fingerprint scanner is will complement a DBrand skin very well!

The bump is irrelevant if you go for the graphite, but otherwise - it's nowhere near as bad looking from the side, but I could definitely see people not liking the colour juxtaposition.
[Nexus 6P General] Big Cam:
If it was as big as say the Droid X hump, I'd be disappointing, but given the size of the protruding camera on my Note 3 for example, I'd rather they integrate it into a hump that is barely above the body lines. (judging from all the videos)

Plus if the photos are as good as they say they are going to be, a tiny hump like that is no big deal.

I never even thought of that, a very good point.:good:
[Nexus 6P General] dr87:
Yea it looked much worse in the early renders, still not a huge fan of the raised camera but its not bad enough for me to not buy it. Plus the case will make it look better.
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
I don't mind it now, its barely protruding and the phone looks awesome ...ftw!
[Nexus 6P General] SysAdmNj:
That better mean some serious nexus camera optics...
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
One of the best tested on a smart phone. The big pixels make a big difference.

The bulge also holds some antennas I hear - like nfc.
[Nexus 6P General] mrRobinson:
I like it, it isn't large enough to be bothersome and just enough I'll get a little slant when laying on flat surface.
[Nexus 6P General] krazyq:
Haven't had a white phone since the SGS3. Been using a white front and bamboo Moto X Pure and it feels nice to have a white phone again
[Nexus 6P General] Shaquiel Harris:
Went for the aluminum myself. Haven't had a phone this color in a while, looks like it's really going to pop and shine, especially with the cool visor. Awaiting some camera and battery tests!
[Nexus 6P General] Aridon:
The original leaked pictures were pretty terrible. Almost made me second guess getting the phone. The later shots and subsequent videos really show this device to be pretty sexy IMO. I'm not super crazy about the strip up there but if it gets better reception and pictures out of it then make it bigger next time :)

I like it.
[Nexus 6P General] nicholaschum:
Just noticed it too, congratulations!

I definitely agree, was actually following the internet hype of it being like a barcode scanner/cyclops design from the initial renders.

I'm looking to grab a white Speck case to complement the Frost 6P I ordered, and cover up the strip of black bar on top, as I got a bit bored of dark colored phones...

https://store.google.com/product/speck_candyshell_grip_case_n6p

What boggles me though, is that almost all the sensors are located in this black strip, anyone have any thoughts about this?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...bar-is-a-window-for-nfc-and-various-antennas/

I actually had a good chuckle about it as I could see it used like a barcode scanner at those cash registers. But I can see myself getting used to this protrusion as overall the phone looks damn terrific! The fact that it is GG4 is actually quite nice, and doesn't get affected by the aluminium housing - but having so many sensors in one collected spot kinda makes me feel weird.

EDIT: Seems like a lot of people opted for the Graphite/Aluminium, interesting....
[Nexus 6P General] vido.ardes:
The render made it look like it stuck out a lot more than it does, so that was a nice surprise. In terms of the actual look, it's kinda growing on me. I have ordered the Frost variant, and the more I look at it, the more I like it.

At first it was more of a case of 'wouldn't choose it, but doesn't bother me' but now I am looking at it and going 'actually you know what, I kinda like it!'. Makes it distinctive at least, people are going to know what phone I am using. The other thing which is purely a functional benefit is that is going to be much easier to clean the glass over the camera lense, because when you get these tiny recessed disks cleaning the lense is a bit of pain in the arse!

The other thing that occured to me is that DBrand might do a skin which covers up the bar (barring the camera, flash and autofocus) which might be an option for people who don't like it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tayyab454:
I have Samsung (SM-G900FD) with Lolipop(5.0) and I want to root it without tripping the knox. I have been searching the internet for past couple of days and I have found a way. It involves, among other steps, downloading and installing the "towelroot" apk, but here is the problem. Towelroot method does not work with Lolipop and I have to downgrade the software to Kitkat(4.4.2), the software version my phone came with.

Once again I have searched thoroughly to find a way to downgrade to Kitkat and I came to the understanding that I need to download official KitKat firmware from sammobile and install it manually, but I don't know which firmware to download from the list that appears against my phone's model.

I have following questions:

1. How will I know which firmware to download from the list.

2. Once I have downgraded and rooted my phone, can I upgrade to android 5.0

Here is my device info,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wutake:
Will we be able to get android 6 ( the one that nexus 6p will have )? Why is samsung pay sooo important? I mean android pay is the same thing and it will always work right? I bought the s6 on day one and have been waiting on some nice roms to root since then ( I know that there are a couple, but I want that LTE update to finish. I think it was bieng released in three or four sections). If I root now will I be able to get the latest updates as they come out? Or will I have to wait for the person making the rom to update that rom? Or do I have to do that flash to stock update then flash the rom back in everytime?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] I Brick Phones:
Kind of hard to read all your questions thrown together in a big paragraph like that, but i'll attempt to answer them.

Yes we'll probably get Android 6 Marshmallow.

Android Pay vs Samsung Pay http://www.androidcentral.com/whats-difference-between-android-pay-and-samsung-pay

Samsung pay most likely won't work if you trip Knox on your phone, but Android pay will.

if you root you won't get any more OTA updates, but if you unroot you can get them again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yotvb531:
to summarize android pay vs samsung pay: android pay is for paying with your phone ONLY at new card readers, and samsung pay works on essentially ALL card readers, even the old ones that you see at most stores.

I've also heard that neither app (here and here) will work going forward on rooted devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] I Brick Phones:
The google engineer's explanation makes sense. However, from what i've tested all you have to do is unroot temporarily and set up android pay and then reroot and it still works. It's just during the install process that they check if you are rooted.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wack0Distractor:
1) none of them support REG_EXPAND_SZ, so I can't play around with HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001 as much as I want to.

2) They seem to write more bytes than needed, when writing REG_BINARY. This is definitely a bad thing, we essentially can't write anything REG_BINARY properly...

This is all. It would be nice if there could be an addition to the remote registry editor (forgot which one that is, busy restoring my phone right now -- don't try to disable SecMgr driver; it'll make your phone go into a bugcheck/boot loop and you'll need to reflash!) so it can parse and import .reg files also :)

Platform game.

It contains elements of arcade games and puzzles. Inspired by a classic games such as Boulder Dash, Dyna Blaster or Bomberman.

Go through the underworld full of various dangers and mysteries.

To reach the exit you need to find safe passage among the falling dangerous boulders and huge spiders.

The game offers two game modes and a level editor.

The first mode "Cave Strider" has more puzzles. To overcome are 50 levels.

The second mode "Bomber Strider" is a totally arcade fun. There is almost unlimited amount of levels. Levels are randomly generated.

I can't post links .. so game is available on Google play for free
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ¿GotJazz?:
Hi - I have a OPO that I sent out for repair, and received a replacement OPO.

I made a TWRP backup image of my first OPO before I sent it out. Is it safe for me to recover that image to my new OPO?

The main thing that I would be concerned about is something that could corrupt my IMEI or other phone-specific data that would make my phone stop working.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ¿GotJazz?:
I did a clean install. The problem I'm seeing is that the battery isn't lasting as long in my replacement phone. So, I'm seeing if I can load the previous backup, and get my old battery life back..
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donk165:
You could try a clean install and then use nandroid manager to restore just bits that you really need like some apps with data, WiFi access points etc. It may work out for you?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Highly unlikely. You should have no issues restoring a backup from another OPO but it isn't going to affect your battery life. I assume you're comparing the battery life on two devices running the same ROM build and apps?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ¿GotJazz?:
Yes, I'm using the exact same ROM build and I actually loaded a few less apps and Google stuff on the new phone.

I think that my new phone is actually more efficient over my old phone, but I'm getting about 1/2 to 1/3 the battery life on my replacement phone. I was just exploring options. In addition, I am seeing odd stuff with Exchange not getting all my calendar events on the replacement phone, so I figured this would be a good time to do the research.

But, I'm already resigned to the possibility that One Plus sent me a replacement phone with a less capable (or, possibly "used") battery.

¿GJ?

Help Lost IMEI after P605T 5.1.1 update

Hi,

I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition TMobile variant. It came installed with 4.4.2. I wanted to have a rooted 5.1.1

* Applied CF-autoroot from here: primehowto com root-galaxy-note-10-1-lte-sm-p607t-t-mobile

(I didn't check but I think at this stage it didn't wipe the IMEI)

* I used Kies to upgrade from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1.

Now when the IMEI appears to be unknown (not registering with tmobile sim card)

Although the WIFI works whenever the table is rebooted the SSID profiles/passwords are forgotten.

I've been seeing folks suggest the EFS is corrupt.

What is the best way of recovery?

1) Downgrade back to 4.4.2? Maybe the Autoroot isn't compatible with 5.1.1? Is there a safe way to do this?

2) Try to recover EFS? Is there a way to confirm the state of EFS? What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] temijun:
Resolved

I've resolved the issue. It appears CF autoroot didn't cause the problem, but rather using Kies to update to the latest 5.1.1. TMO caused the problem. I was able to get back the IMEI # flashing with .tar.md5 using Odin .

So IMHO it's best not to joke too loudly about geek girls - I don't think many men would take a knife to your gonads, but we know that women are mentally equipped in uterus for a pre-emptive de-gonadification. And buying all those handbags and shoes is a stronger motivator.
