[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I remember back my old 3g would die after half of a day it was terrible.

I never feel the need for something so rugged because it detracts from using the phone especially larger devices.

It's more of a personal preference, I don't like rugged phones nor do I like the active series. It's a niche device like the Nexus for people who need something that can handle more. I don't like having a phone that looks like a piece of construction equipment but that's just me. I don't think the word premium should be used they way some OEMs do but that's just me. I was in the USMC and we are rough on all of our gear get I never broke a phone which is why I'm saying I think it's hard to find a true need for something so heavy duty. I always had my phone on me for music and games and dropped it hundreds of times in Afghanistan yet somehow I never broke it. I did manage to get sand under the screen but its like flour so I guess it's nearly impossible not to. The biggest case I bought for the phone so far is the SUPCase and i won't go bigger than that
[Nexus 6P Accessories] GameOver69:
I don't know about you guys, but im a little disappointed with the 2 cases offered by Spigen. The clear case especially, as the rugged one isn't too bad. I was hoping for the Neo Hybrid cases, as they have always lasted for my last 2 phones (SGIII and N5).

I happened to just find this, which is basically another company's version of that case and looks fantastic, though i cant comment on the quality. I will purchase and hope its good :)

http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Verus-S...qid=1443565718&sr=8-38&keywords=nexus+6p+case

Let me know what you guys think.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
The Verus case has been mentioned numerous times and purchased by many people including myself. I didn't expect a Neo Hybrid even though I really wanted one. I don't think they will make one because they are out to make money at the end of the day. I'm sure the 6P will sell well for a Nexus but not compared to other flagships which is why I doubt they will do it. I would love for them to make one and maybe they will change their mind...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
I agree completely. If they make one, I'm absolutely buying one (or several, depending on color options) but won't be holding my breath for it's release.

I'll give them props for making the only completely clear case that doesn't look like every other clear case out there. Hehehe
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
All of their new Neo Hybrids looks so nice but we all knwo deep down they won't come to fruition.

That is true, their case is different for better or worse and I know some people will enjoy it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jaythenut:
Spigen cases are on uk website at last

[Nexus 6P Accessories] aygriffith:
Ordered the black Rugged Armor Spigen case on Amazon. Delivery date is: Nov. 12, 2015 - Nov. 16, 2015. Looks like the phone will get to my house before the case.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TheAtheistOtaku:
Can anyone tell from the case photos if it blocks the laser focus module? i know allot of cases that were made based on the unofficial renderings blocked it, which would prevent the camera from focusing
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Clearly you didn't read any of the board or look at the pictures... It doesn't block the IR auto focus
[Nexus 6P Accessories] XavierD8188:
[MENTION=5581268]Pilz[/MENTION] so I ended up canceling the Ultra Hybrid case for my 6P. Like you, I'm not really feeling the large camera module cutout. I just ordered the Adopted clear frost case from the Google Store and it's suppose to ship Oct 26th. I think I'll wait for reviews and if they look good then I'll prob re-order the Ultra Hybrid then. I think another reason I cancelled is because it won't be available until Nov 6th and wont be delivered until the 12th. My phone gets here Oct 31st and that's way to long to be rocking my phone naked :cool:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I think the Adopted cases will be some of the nicer ones judging by their previous work with other phones. I hope I'm correct because I bought 4 of them total.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] XavierD8188:
You case whore lol.. Assuming you got both colors? I bought the graphite 6P so I'm interested to see how it will look in the Clear Frost Adopted case.. Previously ordered black then cancelled it..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
No I bought a black microfiber for my 6P and then 2 clear (one for the wife and one for me) then finally a clear one for my 5X
[Nexus 6P Accessories] XavierD8188:
ahhh ok. Sounds like a good deal
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I already have other cases for the 6P on order:

Spigen Rugged Armor

Verus Hybrid

SUPCase Beetle

TUDIA TPU

Others I forgot I bought that will arrive and surprise me
[Nexus 6P Accessories] skw5115:
I love the slim armor for the nexus 5. I sure hope they release a slim armor case for the 6p too
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Alferboy:
Just wished all these cases didn't leave the buttons exposed or even extended them. Needed one where they'd be below the case perimeter so that I could put the phone in the car holder without it pressing the buttons.

Only the Cruserlite seems to do this, at least on my N5. Site pictures for the 6p don't make it clear if their version for the 6p will be the same. Ordered one anyway.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] brichardson1991:
Just bought the clear one for my graphite 32GB #graphitebros (this is a thing apparently) from Amazon UK for £2.50 Link for ref: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...mp=2486&creative=8946&creativeASIN=B016CBF3DE

Is this unusually cheap? if so i'm cancelling....

I'd rock the phone naked but i've always had bad luck at dropping phones when not in a case and never dropping them with a case
[Security Discussion] DylinPrestly:
Hey everyone. New to XDA forum. Just wanted to get real tech opinions and what everyone thinks. I recently purchased the new Blackphone 2, a high end security phone by silent circle. I notice it's not running the normal Android OS that everyone is using, it's running "Android Silent OS".

One thing I notice was, it doesn't come with stupid bloatware that I'm custom to getting with iPhone and Androids. One of the main issue I purchase this one was the promise from Silent Circle that any new discovered security bugs, they will release a patch within 72 hours and it seems like they have a good track record of doing so.

I'm just wondering the money I shelled out for this device, did I just waste money or is it really worth it. I'm tired of smart phone apps that I download always keep track of things and accessing private stuff like contact information, GPS location and other sensitive information where I was a victim of one app that sold my GPS location to an advertising company where I was bombarded with ads on my phone.

Any thoughts on this device if it's really a high security phone or just a gimmick to sell. I know no phone is NSA proof of course but I'm guessing this phone is a little more secure then the average Android/iPhone.
[Security Discussion] jobella:
I"m no expert on the Blackphone but, it would be interesting to hear your experience with the phone and in particular between both Blackphones.
[Security Discussion] Semseddin:
Congrats on your purchase. I count it reasonable for 800$, not a waste for sure. I wonder if the phone calls couldn't be listened by third parties like a crypto phone. It would be nice to read a mini review of the device by you.
[Security Discussion] optimumpro:
The answer is: nobody knows, but Silent Circle. Their android is closed source, so essentially they are saying: trust us (because we have a PGP creator). No gsm phone call can be encrypted unless the other person is using exactly the same piece of software that you are. You can more or less encrypt sip calls, but again, you need the other person have a similar software and be on the same server. And don't forget, most providers including Google (googlevoice), Truphone and others block channels where encrypted data packets (for phone calls) are carried.

You can't have true security unless the baseband part of your phone is completely isolated from the rest of the system and virtually 100% of manufacturers use the following model: baseband is a separate mini OS that is hooked directly to your hardware and ram bypassing Android system together with all the protection gimmicks. So, if someone is targeting your phone through cellular modem, Android wouldn't even notice it.

Remember: the main threat to security of a user is Google, as well as manufacturers and carriers. You can neuter Google to a large extent, because Android is open source, but there is nothing you can do to the other two...

[MENTION=6970526]DylinPrestly[/MENTION]

How do you like the phone so far? Can you relate any experiences? How do communications between the two phones compare to communications between one Blackphone and a non-Blackphone? It seems to me that communications between Blackphones are more secure.

Thanks.
[Security Discussion] Agent240913:
Great discussion, I was actually thinking is there a way to get an "android silent os" on a note 5? If not, are there any roms out there that is like silent os for security and privacy?
[Security Discussion] jolive57:
I have a doubt about Blackphone

I have bought a Blackphone BP1 because a friend sold it very cheap. My main doubt is if this phone can only make phone calls to another Blackphone or there is a way to call any "normal" Android phone.

I don´t want to set up the phone until my doubt has a solution, bacause yes, it's a fact that I want a sure phone, but I dont need a "caged" phone, because I don´t have any friends or relatives that have another Blackphone so it's useless for me.

Another question is if the Blackphone can only talk to another Blackphone, is there a way to swap the PrivaOs for a Cyanogen version or a pure Android version in order that I can use it as a normal phone?

Thanks to anyone that can clarify my doubts. :o
[Security Discussion] bitterman:
The Blackphone 1 and 2 are able to communicate fine via standard GSM to all other phones, but the calls are secure when using the Silent Phone app, which can be installed on any Android/iOS device really.

As to being "NSA" proof....

“We have a bit of a problem with the press saying that the Blackphone will make you NSA-proof,” Phil Zimmerman, one of the Blackphone’s creators, tells me at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. “If someone [at the Blackphone booth] tells you that it’ll protect you from the NSA, I’ll fire them.”

I have both the Blackphone 1 and 2, though the Blackphone 1 has gone into "retirement" now that I'm using the BP2 ,which I'm quite happy with, if you have any questions I'd be more than happy to answer :)
[Security Discussion] varotone:
I have a question about this phone if that's allright. How do regular (unencrypted) calls work? Are they free or do they require some sort of credit? (I mean on the phone side, not the carrier obviously)
[Security Discussion] polartux:
Hi, another BP2 owner there.

I've just opened a thread in "Reviews" section about this phone: http://xdaforums.com/general/device.../blackphone-2-review-basic-tech-info-t3516371

This phone doesn't introduce any active/passive GSM complexes security, it's a standard phone with modded Android 5.1.1 ROM called 'Silent OS'.

The only way to make this phone secure, is to use their paid app 'Silent Phone', which is paid analog of Telegram and available on Play Market (can be used on any phone).

I am currently working on making a clean AOSP ROM for this device, because Silent OS is totally a disgrace which is impossible to root.

Money waste confirmed, read my thread for more information.

Yes, unencrypted calls are free, it's just a usual modded android phone with GAPPS.

Encrypted calls are made via the "Silent Phone" app which is paid and needs a paid subscription on the other end. Doesn't worth your money.

It won't do any encrypted calls if one who you talk to doesn't have Silent Phone installed.

If you need a good and open source communications encryption, use Tox which is available for Android and iOS.
[Security Discussion] superdragonpt:
You wasted money...

If you have any knowledge whatsoever on Android Building...

You can pretty much achieve the same and /or close the same point of "safety" the black phone provides.. With the extra that you control what's being built , what your using..

Airlock user. What is it?

Bought BP2 few months ago and recently discovered in Data usage statistics that there is unknown to me user consuming Wifi and 4G internet on the background. I have never created this Airlock user.

I wrote to BP support, where they simply said: You should not be alarmed by that.

WTF? What kind of answer is this?

Anybody here knows what is that user for and if there is any way to disable or remove it?

[SuperSU] zeron824:
Hey guys! I accidentally "forgotten" access to the ADB Shell on my Super SU. I am really scared now. How do I manually re-enable it? I don't want to flash my phone and stuff if possible.

P.S. If this is the wrong topic/thread please feel free to direct me to the proper area.
[SuperSU] mmonaghan34:
Regranting su access is an extremely quick and simple process. All you have to do to be able to use root from adb shell is to start and and shell on the device again, call su and grant root from the SuperSU access prompt that will appear on the device, regranting access to apps is simple too, simply open the app and when it calls for su, SuperSU will bring up the access prompt for any app/uid that it hasn't got any stored settings for already

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elburla:
Hello everyone, my htc one m8 has a strange problem, which seems to have been encountered by many other owners of this device.

The middle-top of touch is dead, while below and above it works perfectly.

The strange thing is that even with several different displays the problem persists.

According to you it may depend by software firmware / kernel problem?

Currently it mounts the latest version of viperOne team venom.

Thank you!

[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
Hey guys,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Be aware that this one includes factory reset protection. Those of you having issues trying to revert - this is probably why.

I forget how this works to revert but would check out the G3 forums to see how this was handled.

ZV6 (and now ZV5) location:

http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/LG G4 (LS991)/

Sprint notes: https://community.sprint.com/baw/message/1009786
[Sprint LG G4] autoprime:
yes, as garwynn has pointed out... there will be issues downgrading if you flash this zv6 file.. or take the zv6 ota. the bootloader in zv6 updates the bootloader versioning to "v2".. while zv4 is "v0" and zv5 is "v1".

ZV6 TOT is out!
[Sprint LG G4] Agimax:
very nice, now the soft Bricker can restore back to ZV6.... :)
[Sprint LG G4] garwynn:
They're doing this because Factory Reset Protection only works if you can't go back to a version that doesn't support it. Easiest way to handle that? Blow a Qfuse (or increment the counter as LG and Samsung seem to be using it.)
[Sprint LG G4] autoprime:
ahh good point. I guess some of the other carriers already had FRP working then.
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
Just a quick question: FRP is that the security feature Google pushed so if one were to do a hardware factory reset the phone asks for your Google account before completing first boot after reset? Or is it the anti-rollback? Thanks.
[Sprint LG G4] autoprime:
FRP is the google security feature to protect factory resets.

but there is ALSO anti-rollback being used and ZV6 raises the bootloader versioning +1 from ZV5... so the first time a ZV6 bootloader boots.. from that point on.. you can never go lower than ZV6 again. Without bricking anyway.
[Sprint LG G4] Swetnes:
Thank you for your response....that clears things up for me.

Oh my god I already thanked you on twitter but thank you thank you thank you for your work. My phone is back from the dead!

[Sprint LG G4] mswlogo:
No, you need to restore a Stock ZV5 image first.
[Sprint LG G4] 6bowmans:
The TOT method resets the phone to stock - you will lose all data. Use this thread http://xdaforums.com/sprint-g4/development/stock-sytem-image-files-zv5-zv6-t3205640 to restore the stock ZV5 image without losing data. You can then follow the same thread to sideload ZV6 and eventually flash the rooted ZV6 image with no loss of data. Make sure you always have the base image file saved to your internal (NOT sd card) storage.
[Sprint LG G4] Agimax:
We have no way at this time to keep any part of ZV5 and mix with ZV6. TOT is a method of restoring the factory partitions back on your phone using the .tot files / extensions.
