Thank you emmittobie and Pilz. My Nexus 6P arrives today and I'm looking forward to the upgrade from my Nexus 4.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] pgcristyan:
Hello. Can someone please post some pictures of the graphite nexus with the ringke clear case? Can't seem to find these anywhere. Thank you.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Kwanger:
I have both the Ringke Fusion and Spigen rugged armor. Basically, I think the Spigen looks better and also appears that it would offer more protection in a drop. The lip on the spigen is slightly more pronounced than the Ringke, which I would prefer as with a TGSP there is very little overhang on the Ringke.

However - I find myself using the Ringke all the time now, the reason being that I find the Spigen slippery. the ringke has a good balance between appearing pretty solid but still allowing for your fingers to grip it, especially important when holding one handed. I felt as though eventually I'd end up dropping dropping the phone with the Spigen. Another reason i prefer the Ringke is that its that bit slimmer. Although I wouldn't say the spigen is particularly bulky, when you use these two cases one after the other, the extra width does seem quite pronounced.

I've got a clear ringke fusion with a graphite phone - I'd say if I had to do it again, I'd have gone for the smoke black one instead as I think it would look a bit neater. I would think the clear case is the better one to use on aluminum white or gold phones.

Edit to add - the buttons are better on the ringke, nice positive clicky feel. Not that the buttons are bad or a problem on the spigen however.

Will someone be able to post a picture of this case with the gold one? I am torn between the clear and smoky one on which color will fit the gold more... Thanks!:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TechMillz93:
anyone who has the smoke black how well does it fit over a 6p with a back skin only?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] uknowme4me:
It fits like a glove
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cougzzz:
U have both ringke fusion and nillkin right? If so which do u like more?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] uknowme4me:
I have a Diztronic, Ringke Fusion, and Cimo Matte Premium Slim Fit. As of right now I prefer the Cimo due to the Matte finish on the back. It adds much needed grip that the Ringke Fusion did not offer while still being able to show off my Dbrand. Also it's the thinnest case I've used this far.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
I would like to purchase a Nexus 6 (US Version) and I've seen a few for sale that claim to be google email account locked.

The reason usually given the "owner" forgot their password and can't reset it.

I was thinking a factory image restore would clear everything and un lock the phone.

Not sure if this would work, if someone could confirm either way, I would appreciate it.

Is there a way to bypass the google account lock?

Thank you!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There is no bypass method known..do not buy it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
Is there anywhere that I can learn how this account lock works?

I am legitimately trying to get a nexus 6 cheap then use it as my personal phone, not intending on hacking into someones, I could care less if all data on the phone is lost.

I was thinking if I wiped the system and data partitions it would undo the software lock. Or is this Google Account Lock more than just software rooted?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The information has not been released into the public domain. We don't know how it works. It's most likely stored on one of the many partitions that we don't have access to, but we don't know that. All we know is that we haven't found a fix. Flashing system images doesn't help.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
That's exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you for saving me a few $!

Guess I'll put that twords a Nexus 5.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ySekEg-I8g That guy claims to be able to do it.... for a fee.

Why'd Google have to go all iCloud lock on us? :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It's your risk. One random guy here reckons he managed to get it bypassed at a mobile phone repair shop, but he couldn't give us any information towards how that was achieved. We take it with a pinch of salt.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigjack216:
It's Just anti theft which imo is a great feature to have
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
It's meant as a security feature to deter phone theft, whoever said they were able to work around it was lying, the only way to get past that screen is to input the correct password of the google account, factory reset and flashing google images do not get rid of the lock. If the person that had it before removed his/her account before wiping the device than that screen would not show. Now if the person truly forgot their google account pass, they could easily reset their password if they are really the original owners of the phone provided they have another email/number for google to send the verification info, my opinion is the seller either found or stole the phone and is looking to make a buck on someone unsuspecting, because they cant use it themselves.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It is, but what it should do when you're factory resetting, is remind you to remove your google account first if you are selling it.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

No way to tell the back story of the phone. This anti-theft measure came in without warning, so people who updated and then wiped it without knowing they needed to remove the account first, could easily have sold it and it not been tested by the buyer for this as they didn't know. There could easily be a legitimate story behind it.

That said, no one should buy these devices anyway, for their own sake and the fact that they *may* be stolen.

Also, as unlikely as we believe it to be that someone managed to get it bypassed at a mobile phone repair store, doesn't mean it isn't true. Just because we don't know a way around it, doesn't mean someone else can't - though that is besides the point
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it was a bug in 5.1, where you would enter radom digits.. buts its been long fixed, and only worked if the person set a password.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plasticarmyman:
you should be able to bypass this by flashing back to stock and using the no-encrypt kernel from Wugfresh's toolkit.

The google account lock is just because encryption is active and someone did a factory reset on it while it was encrypted.

Source:

I did this to my own once when flashing ROMs and could not get pass the password screen, flashing the no-encrypt fixed it
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jst07:
I haven't heard of this....I have a N6 on the way which means I'll be wiping and selling my LG G2 (running 5.1.1 Paranoid). Is this a new thing with lollipop that I need to remove my account first, or is it device based?

If so, Settings > Accounts > Google > Delete your account or services? Is that all I need to do before wiping?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if your bootloader is locked, and you have stock recovery, you cant flash a stock factory image. and you cant flash a custom kernel with the stock recovery. so, you couldnt of done this in your wettest fantasy. but, if you have twrp, you could. but then again, if you have twrp recovery, you can fix the issue regardless.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plasticarmyman:
if you can get into fastboot you can fix most of those things.

TWRP would be for the kernel, but you can unlock the BL and flash a recovery all from fastboot which is not secured by the account lock
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You can't unlock the bootloader unless you set "enable OEM unlock" in Settings, which you can't get to if it is google account locked.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plasticarmyman:
oh snap! i totally forgot about that part....

okay nevermind my blathering idiocy
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plasticarmyman:
it's been about a year since i've had to check that box :P
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yup. but if you have twrp, fastboot formatting userdata and cache should fix it. if you havd stock recovery, then youre screwed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peylix:
More than positive this Nexus is stolen.

Stay away from it. If it's locked, it's probably been reported and it's IMEI blacklisted. So even IF you could get it unlocked somehow. You will still be boned.

As for cheap Nexus 6? They are on sale for $350 on Amazon.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Just a query..I have a few things preventing me upgrading at the moment.. I'm not sure if it was simply because I didn't have system r/w when I tested it.

I'm happy to test myself when I get chance but until then, thought I'd ask in case someone knows.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blarsmanzio:
My ASUS Transformer TF700 will not load the OS (Android 4.2)

The ASUS load screen runs for hours, but never delivers me to the desktop

When I attempt to reset, I get three options: 1) RCK(?) 2) Android icon 3) wipe data

The first two options give you a message that says "Android updating", but within 5 seconds, it crashes and says "ERROR"

My computer doesn't recognize the tablet when I connect via USB

ASUS technical support said it was a software, not a hardware problem

The tablet wasn't dropped or mishandled in any way.

How do I restore and/or upgrade the OS?

Thanks for any input and direction you can provide!

Sincerely,

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGmales:
Hello everyone!

i'm a Spanish user of OnePlus One. My first device had a lot of problems and I decided to open a RMA.

When I opened the box, I see than the "new device" had the "volume - button" broken.

I send a lot of Tickets to OnePlus and finally, the last Thursday DHL comes to pick up my phone.

Few days later, I didnt see any answer for OnePlus and today I write this E-Mail:

My English is so bad and I hope you can write your opinion and corrections.

Also ask you if the upgrade to the OPT coming from the OPO is actually a good idea.

Thanks for all, i love this community.

And also sorry for my bad English.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killer2k8:
If you receive an upgrade offer take IT, after that, when you receive the phone, stay with the courier, ask him you want to open the box and test the product for 2-3 minutes (after you sign), if you see any dents, damages on the phone like cracked screen, damaged volume rocker etc, the courier will complete a form and send the phone back as damaged in the transit!!

I also recomend since the rma process and support is so hard to come by, that people with less knowledge in android flashing does not embark in a custom kernels/root/overclock tour :))

It depends what you do with root. If you root it to "hack" or "snif" then you're doing a illegal thing. If you root it to costumise your Android then, you're not disturbing a privacy from another person or what else.
