[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loki993:
Its not just the time it takes to plug in..its the wear and tear on your USB port from plugging it and unplugging it at the very least once a day. Dont know how long you tend to keep phones but most of the time at the end of 2 years that USB port is starting to get at least a little....weird...if not just outright broken.

I really dont understand how wireless charging is not basically standard on any phone now a days...I tell you what Ive used NFC exactly zero times on my Lumia..I use wireless charging everyday.

Its nearly a dealbreaker not having wireless charging and borderline an unacceptable oversight.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EeZeEpEe:
Wear and tear is a true concern with old micro USB with the prongs and specific way to insert it but I think that's less of a problem with reversible plugs like lightning and type C. Also, I've been plugging in my Galaxy S5 probably at least 3 times a day everyday (To work, to home, while sleeping) since May 2014 and my port has actually held up just fine. Doesn't feel loose at all.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCDWJR:
out of all my phones, i have never had issues with wear and tear with the USB port. I understand your concern but in my case its not a factor. I had my Nexus 5 since the day it was released and i didnt have any issues with the USB port and i would plug it in at least twice a day for two years. Maybe if a wireless charger was included with most devices then i can see why it would be a must for phones these days.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lttlwing16:
With doze working great on my n9 I'm hoping I can just charge when I get home from work, and leave it off the charger at night, and hold me through a day at work. I will miss the convenience of just plopping it down though.

Can anyone tell me what I have to disable to get rid of the annoying full screen event notifications? I am referring to the ones that allow you to dismiss or snooze an alert. I have tried disabling calendar notifications and tasks, but I still get them. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 6P General] jagman96:
I chatted with a Google CS person yesterday. He said to call T-Mobile and talk with a CS rep and to complain. Today in their announcement Google said the phones will be sold through carriers outside the US and The Google Store within the US and other countries in which it conducts business. Since they are willing to sell it through carriers outside the US it tells me they aren't necessarily opposed to it. They also did not expressly say it won't be sold through US carriers (in the future). The read between the lines when taking into account what the Google CS rep said yesterday and what Google said today is that the carriers in the US are choosing not to carry it. I too am very disappointed that I cannot get it through JOD. I called T-Mobile and the CS rep hadn't even heard of the 6p and 5x. She created a ticket to send my request up the ladder. I suggest all of you do that too.
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
I am shocked that T-Mobile at least won't be carrying the Nexus 6P. T-Mobile has been a staunch Nexus supporter since day one, where other carriers may have sold one or two different Nexus phones over the years, T-Mobile ALWAYS sold the Nexus phone, every one, every year, starting with the Nexus-One up to the Nexus 6. Tis a sad day that T-Mobile won't have the latest Nexus phone, for the first time in six years

I am also on ' Jump on Demand ' mainly for the annual Nexus release, and sometimes the Note release or possibly HTC flagship release.
[Nexus 6P General] flightsimmer:
From what I'm gathering on Twitter from [MENTION=259357]Tmobile[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4504155]askd[/MENTION]es's answers, it's not that they're NOT going to carry them, just not right away. When asked directly, they've said that they didn't have any info "at this time". I'm betting that we'll see both Nexus devices at all of the domestic carriers before February, maybe even before Christmas.

The Nexus 6 launch was a fiasco last year due to stock constraints, from both a carrier level and Google level. I have a good feeling that Google reserved all of the stock for the Google store until they can ramp up production, at which point they'll start allowing carriers to announce and sell them. That, or they're just wanting to do an exclusive period and allow carrier sales later.
[Nexus 6P General] Semantics:
I think the reason some oversea's carriers will sell the phone is due to the Google Store not being available in every country.
[Nexus 6P General] jagman96:
I though of that, too.
[Nexus 6P General] jagman96:
I hope you're right!
[Nexus 6P General] fix-this!:
I won't be getting one until T-Mobile has them in store. That or if a cheap one shows up on craigslist.
[Nexus 6P General] hdtechk:
I refuse to buy a phone through a carrier. So no disappointment hear
[Nexus 6P General] djkinetic:
Dont get your hopes up, if they were planning to carry it in carrier stores retail/online they would have announced availability yesterday, they said it would be carried in other countries on carriers, what sense does it make to release info that you're gonna carry it in the US on carriers after you have already made the initial availability announcement. Last year they said it would be carried on all carriers from the start. Think about it, if they are really holding back sales in the US for Play store orders they would have said Pre order in the US on play store with carrier availability after the pre order period. Sorry but US carriers arent carrying it it this time, also if you really want to finance a nexus you can do so if you sign up for project fi...that right there makes US Carrier availability even less likelier still.
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
Seems like some of these Carriers have joined or continued the iphonie cults...
[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
The galaxy nexus was not offered by T-Mobile. I could care less if carriers have stock in the nexus phone. I like that we got a good price in the US
[Nexus 6P General] djkinetic:
more importantly than price it looks like they have plenty of stock, which is good cause i dont plan on ordering till around the first wk they start shipping end of october.
[Nexus 6P General] jcarlm:
I think Google should offer installment without fi..
[Nexus 6P General] anglerstock:
why do you care if carriers carry them or not? US carriers should be avoided like plague. Nothing good ever comes from them! Pay the device outright and enjoy it.
[Nexus 6P General] pj1980:
You think I want Verizon getting their hands on the nexus 6p!? No thanks im more than happy to buy from Google, although I'd prefer if they had a payment plan for people who don't use project fi.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theliquid:
As the title says, I am really disappointed by the N5X price in Europe compared to the specs. Is the LG G4 still worth buying it?

Is the LG overlay acceptable? (This is the only thing which really holds me off buying the G4 at the moment, because I really love stock Android)

Is LG offering some stock Android experience? (like HTC did)

How fast the software updates get released?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcrusha829:
This decision is really up to what features you find value in. I love my G4 and you would have to decide if you want a phone that has removable battery and expandable storage to say have fingerprint scanner and the latest OS. These phones are different in a lot of ways.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nismo929:
I picked up the G4 the day it came out,so I've had a good few months with it. Definitely no regrets. Coming from Samsung, it's a much less intrusive version of Android..... Than say... Touchwizz. It could benefit from extra features for battery saving mode like on the Sony or SAMSUNG, but it easily lasts me a day.

One of the best cameras, used it on my recent trip Italy, if you are into photography... You can have a lot of fun.

With every phone you will find +/-, but sure you can probably get a good deal on aG4, making it a real phone to consider.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android404:
I can answer one of those questions: the overlay is acceptable, because 99.5% of the time I don't see it because I use the camera/browser/gallery/app of choice, instead of playing with the settings. That might be different in your case, but since you asked I thought I'd answer.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
Hell! I'd recommend the G4 over their 6P! For that European price, I'd 100% recommend the G4 over it!!! No doubt about it! You can get the G4 for 420 euros! The 6P will be 650 and I still think the G4 will compare just as well :) Or even better in the camera department and battery life. Nexus' aren't known for battery life. Neither is the LG, but hey! ...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
what about the P variant ?

was a bit disappointed with the 5X specs too. with only 2gb, what reason is there to upgrade from the nexus 5 ?

Not for you, for a lot of non-purists, yes.

exactly. will not mix with 'Hello Kitty' :D

there is the sense

mod

if you are rooted. but this available for any android.

no where as fast as you would get on nexus. they come in time though.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I'm also looking at ordering the G4 after the disappointment of the 5X, but it looks like LG will always gimp Nexus devices so it won't compete with their own flagship.

LG seems to be the only manufacturer left that give all the choices for users, even Samsung is going Apple direction.

I find LG interface to be much more bearable than Samsung which to me personally is unusable. This is helped by the fact of on-screen buttons. But I'm just waiting for CyanogenMod availability.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Then you are not a typical nexus user. You are interested in nexus only because updates are regular and this keeps the value of your device up.

You really prefer to have the extra 'features' every non nexus device offers.

So is this the same as the OP or not.

some would say they have exceeded apple in terms of build and quality with their offerings this year.

if you don't need the camera...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neflictus:
Actually Dxomark already tested the new nexus and it came 2nd, after the galaxy s6, beating lg g4 with 1 point. Oops.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoKaTSuYa:
86 in photo and 79 in video for both but one has 84 points and G4 83 points, anyways DxoMark just sucks, a french reviewer... never in low light
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
I'm disappointed in the 5x because of the faux look of dual front speakers when in reality one is just an earpiece speaker, nothing more and lack of qi charging, and same outdated storage options. Really don't care about the lack of RAM, not like I can tell a difference going from the G4 to nexus 5, though all of it is hard to justify at $380 when you pay $20 more and get 3gb of ram, a 5.7 inch 2k screen, and an SD slot by choosing a moto x pure edition. 5x specs would be fine with nexus 4 pricing tiers

To answer your question if you're a purist like me, LG UX will drive you bonkers. So much stuff they changed just to be different that doesn't really have a purpose. I like it overall OK but have already decided I'm going back to a nexus or a moto next year. Also the memory leak is in full effect on it as LG has written 5.1.1 off as "too minor to even bother with" which means it won't get fixed until you get marshmallow which probably won't be until 2016
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
That was quick but the most interesting scores are the N6P is top for texture in stills beating the S6 & G4 and beating both again for Noise by 4 points.

I think the comparisons of N6P against S6/G4 are going to be interesting, hard as it might be to believe, expect the N6P shots to look slightly better in details than the S6/G4. How to counter that ? reduce to 12MP on both, now noise & details will look sharper ;) and the difference will be hard to tell. Still, this is an achievement for the N6P. The 6S+ did not get there. The Z5 did.

In terms of video stabilisation its a good ten points behind the G4 so jerky video.

12MP and 1/2.3" rear camera.

The big catch is that there is

no OIS

in either N5X or N6P, pretty shocking considering N5 & N6 had it. Go to the trouble to make a good camera and then leave out OIS. Seriously WTH!!!! So like the Z5 except the Z5 will have more features ootb. You better have good handholds a la xperia or M9 to get clear low light shots with these nexii.

What will the camera interface be like, google camera has always been very limited. 3rd party cams will be essential. And then we will find out just how slow the shutter gets to.

They left out wireless charging on both ! ok, i get it that morotola is crap at wireless charging but LG already nailed it with the 5, two years ago.

Course for those who want sd & removable battery, software is not going to be able to fix :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossysaurus:
I've just returned my LG G4 to get the Nexus 5x.

I loved the G4's camera but the bloatware, bluetooth issues, buggy smart unlock, constant notifications of "NFC may drain battery" when using my car dock, the big when you put it on charge, the bing when it finishes charging, the bing when you turn it on, the bing when you turn it off.... it stopped being an enjoyable device to use and it was all because of what LG had done to Android.

So I'm going back to stock android. Originally I was going to wait for a G4 AOSP or Cyanogen rom but with the announcement of the fantastic Nexus 5x camera I decided to make the move while I still could..

The feature list is cut down compared to the G4 but it is stuff I am not so concerned with. I've not used expandable storage since moving to use Google music, Photo, Docs, Keep and Drive. I've never used wireless charging, and I don't game on my phones so I am not worried about the 1gb less of ram, especially when my Nexus 4 uses nearly 1GB of ram less than the LG G4 when idling.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
I got the G4 after trying almost all other phones out there. I had Z3, HTC One M9, S6, Nexus 6, Iphone 6, and now G4 and the G4 blows them all away.

It is quicker than the others, has no memory or multitasking issues contrary to some minor views in this thread, the bluetooth, 4g and wifi work perfectly, smart lock works fine too, the camera beats all of the other phones I owned, and the battery life is equal to if not better than all at 5 Hours SOT at 60% screen brightness.

The new google launcher is AWFUL so wanting that is just nonesense, and the LG launcher has replaced Nova for me, because it's just as customisable.

Nexus fans won't want it though because they want Stock = Boring, and prefer the boring look to a decent camera and features. Anyone expecting the new Nexus devices to actually have decent real world camera is praying to the wrong gods.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisrozon:
I have no memory leak issues with my Verizon model, and love 95% of this phone.

Coming from a Nexus/Moto X background, I find LG's ui decent and mostly easy to use. There are 2 or 3 little annoyances in how settings are accessed, but Nova Launcher fixes most design issues - an icon pack and new screen layout, plus gestures to shortcut to the settings I use most.

I world consider rooting to clean up the other small issues, but I'm a regular Android Pay user do I'm holding off until that all shakes out.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3mik4l:
Im a huge nexus fan ive owned all of them from the first HTC to the last motorola. I bought the g4 blindly to test the non nexus waters and this phone has blown me away especially after the updates and the camera is super amazing and no nexus can or will beat it. Dont get me wrong ill probably grab the new nexus 5 based on stock so i can have fun rooting and putting custom roms on it, but besides having cutting edge software it will be my secondary phone and ill stick with my g4 for everyday use. To be honest im a crack flasher and it feels good to not have that urge with my g4, i got root and thats all i needed to get rid of some things and add xposed to tweak it a bit. Very happy with my g4 and will likely get the g5 when it drops.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taylor white 0911:
Hello, I bought the G4 for about a month and it has no problem till now. Everything is OK. The body design is a little bend and quite comfortable playing with the phone. But the price is a little bit expensive for me. I was impulsive to buy it. Fortunately it performs well overall.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gioxoid:
no, because G4 and 5X share same hardware.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mort:
Yes. In terms of hardware, it's about even up. And the G4 also offers a miniSD slot, exchangeable battery, and nice back covers. Only possible drawback might be the battery live, probably mostly thanks to the G4's insane resolution.

I don't like the LG icons, but that can be easily changed by using a different launcher like Nova. Also, the colors for toast messages and quick settings are a bit bright (cyan). And the mobile data protocol (LTE, G3, ...) is displayed as own icon instead of small text in the reception bar icon. Most of the rest can easily be ignored or even be disabled in the settings.

But a lot of this (and more) can be modified even without unlocking the bootloader. You can flash rooted ROMs via the cable firmware update screen, and then use FlashFire to flash other ZIP updates like Xposed or themed variants (warning: very slow...).

With the European H815 version, you can also unlock the bootloader, but you'll lose warranty, and it can't be unlocked. But it'll allow you to flash "more AOSP" ROMs. (Official CM12 is work in progress, but there's an inofficial port available.)

Android M at least has been announced for the G4. I guess it's hard to tell even by LG's developers, as it depends on the changes made by Google.

But then, the changes made since Android 4.1 aren't that impressive anyway IMHO, and several recent updates had some teething troubles, so maybe it's not so bad to wait a bit longer...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j3r3myp:
After owning a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 5, I switched to the G4. Not disappointed at all.

I used to tweak both phones a lot, and it's fun for a while, but in the end I want a phone that works flawlessly. The G4 hasn't got the best battery ever but it's way better than the N5, with a removable battery you can swap it and go back to 100% in less than 2 minutes. And the MicroSD is practical.

Okay, there are "flaws" : slower updates, non-stock look (but LG UI is okay, not ugly and not intrusive) and less development.

But I'm happy with it, despite being a Nexus fan, and I even convinced my "Nexus guru" (GNex + N4 user) to buy a G4 :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theliquid:
Thanks for all your answers!

I want to inform you how I decided: I bought the LG G4 yesterday, because its just the better deal than the Moto X Pure/Style or the Nexus 5X. I got the G4 for ~450€ (all taxes and shipping included) from a retailer I trust. (It was not the cheapest deal, but I wanted a trusted retailer with good service) It was a good deal and I really love the device. The only thing I immediately changed is that I switched to Google Launcher since I am used to it and I like the vertically scrolling more.

After the 5X/6P euro price annoucements, I decided to get a new LG G4 for 360€; running Nova Launcher Prime on it and very happy (coming from Nexus5).

And now they announced that Android M is coming soon, I couldn´t be happier.

Was considering the Nexus 5x until the pricing for Canada, and realizing that I do use more than the standard 16GB and 32GB meant more than I was willing to spend.

Having owned Galaxy Nexus, and Nexus 5 now, I always wanted double tap to wake, but it always was omitted from Nexuses. I started using a lot of Spotify, so SD card would be great. Google Camera app, on a Nexus 5... Let's say it's not an enjoyable experience.

Seems like I would be getting LG G4, after being a Nexus Warrior.

There's still a few things in the G4 that drive me bonkers (if you have one expanded notification you can't expand other notifications--even if that notification is "auto expanded"), stupid non-standard quick settings toggles automatically expanding even with just one swipe down, non-adjustable auto brightness, and meh battery life, but overall I'm quite happy with it. I'm extremely pleased with pictures--that was the reason I got it and haven't been disappointed.

Wife just got a 5X. It's nice. The camera is good, too. The Nexus camera software is junk, though. Marshmallow performance is nice, however.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goop.Q:
Hello Everyone,

i wanted to flash a newer CM Rom (12.1). But since WiFi didn't work i wanted to go back. Now it seems i "overflashed" my phone... Long story short, the following is what i can do atm:

-get into Fastboot mode

-get into Flash mode

What i tried:

Using flashtool and flashing different ftf's to no success. Flashtool aborts the flash process at this line: x10flash.java:770 error (beforehand it says "parsing boot delivery" followed by "ending flash session")

Using fastboot to get into a recovery. Fastboot either gives "command not allowed" or "too many links"

At one point i was able to boot into a recovery, but that stopped working as well now.

I've never experienced a brick that crazy. Besides entering the two modes, i can do exactly nothing with it.

I have somewhat experience with flashing (owned a galaxy s3 before, flashed many times) and have flashed to the z1c many times.

No backup ofc, doh. But it doesn't matter since i backuped all my personal stuff anyway.

My question: is there any way i could do a FULL clean installation? Stock ROM or whatever. Just so i can get into a recovery at least again!

Edit/ the phone shows up under devices in fastboot "CB5A1YERET". Flashtool on the other hand says, "unknown" if i look at the debug log.

Edit2/ I don't even get to see the Sony logo. So it seems, the phone is stuck somewhere in the beginning of the boot up. When i plug it into the pc, the plug/unplug usb sound comes every 1-2 minutes.
