[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purpeltendire:
Coming from a Droid Turbo/Maxx 32GB on Verizon, ordering a 32GB Aluminum 6P.

I'm tired of the locked down devices and little to no developer activity. It's no fault of anyone, I don't blame people for steering clear of the carrier-exclusive devices. I'm slightly concerned about taking a ~500 mAh hit in battery capacity, but I'm hoping that with Marshmallow and the 810v2.1 it won't be too bad. Also excited to be moving to a larger phone, but split screen over on iOS has me a little jealous.

My phone before the Turbo was carrier-specific (HTC Rezound), but there was an impressive development community around it. I miss it terribly - I could get home from work or school and decide "I'm going to try Paranoid Android today," and just be able to do it. No hoops to jump through, I just downloaded and flashed. I miss the freedom. $500 up front is a bit pricey, but I believe it'll be more than worth it to be a part of an active development and modification community once more. :)

From what I see so far the number one reason people are upgrading (coming from phones other than nexus) it's because of updates.

They're just too slow and too far apart. Whether it's carriers or the manufacturers themselves. I probably won't be buying another phone besides nexus from now on.

I am finally retiring my Galaxy Nexus (maguro). It has been a great phone, but it is long in the tooth and slow by todays standards. These things dont last forever. I am looking forward to a new and fast phone with the same XDA community support and custom ROMs! I bought a 64Gb in Frost, and will be using the Verus case in electric blue most likely. Oh, my wife still uses and loves her Nexus 4.

Upgrading from a Moto X Pure/Style.

I love my Moto X so far but I want to have fast Android updates and I'm already missing the RAW support I had for photography on my Nexus 5
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JLishere:
Happily ditching the Samsung S6 for the 6P.

The camera and display are amazing, but poor RAM / multi-tasking on the S6 is driving me crazy.

To this day, the Nexus 5 runs smoother than the S6 (with a fast Exynos chip) - the fact that Samsung hasn't fixed this is unacceptable.

Also, being on Fido in Canada, I am still stuck on Android 5.0.2 right now.

The S6 really proved to me that benchmarks mean nothing in real day-to-day usage.

Time to dive back to Nexus!

total nexus fanboy here. upgrading from my trusty N5, the first device in a looong time hat ive had for 2 years, usual cycle was 1yr [emoji14] motorola N6 was too large and expensive for me at that time, also didnt appeal to me design-wise. the 6P checks most of the boxes that are important to me, more so than other phablets, and that at a lower price and with a very appealing design. its time for a change! :)

Going from the M8 GPE to the 6P. I'm nervous, as I've never really been fond of large phones (even though I have big hands), so I'm not sure how long it'll take me to get accustomed to it. But I am excited to finally switch to a premium Nexus device. I was back and forth on the 5X and 6P, but finally decided to just go with the 6P and pay the extra $70 for it (over the 32GB 5X).

Back to N6P after a Moto X 2014. The X is a great phone, but most of the features are now in the N6P. I've had all but one of the Nexus line. Changed to the Moto X 2013 for the always listening voice control (great for driving) and then the X 2014, which actually disappointed me a little as the always listening wasn't as good as it was on the original. Still, a beautiful phone with a stunning screen that always gains positive comments. Also, Moto have been much slower with updates than they were as part of El goog. Am now boiling with anticipation for the N6P to arrive.... in another 3 weeks!

I'm upgrading from a Nexus 5. I've been looking for something to replace it for a while. It's getting a little long in the tooth and there are so many great phones out now. Also, i am unlucky enough to have the stuck power button issue so my phone is currently not usable. Had to revert back to my Nexus 4. Was trying to decide between the new Nexus phones and the Moto X Pure, but decided to stick with Nexus because of the updates and Moto has been acting a little iffy since becoming part of Lenovo. Went with the 6P because it offered far fewer compromises the the 5X and was still in a reasonable price range for a more premium phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetbeen:
Hey fellow note 2 hold out! I can't decide what to do. It seems like it's so very way past time for a new phone.

I went from G1 (at launch) to HTC G2 (preorder) to note 2 (day after launch) and here I am with my untouched note 2, 9300 mah zerolemon battery... still on 4.1.2 unrooted. .. Wondering what it would be like to have a faster phone.

The problem is... I love this thing! I get annoyed now and then and I want new stuff. But old faithful has never let me down. (ok, once )

Heck. I just want a freaking hardware keyboard.

I don't fit in anywhere.

Nexus?

LG V10?

Note 5? (I'd probably already have it if they didn't lose the removable battery...)

Ah good luck with your decision, if the speed of your note doesn't bother you then I wouldn't bother changing. For me the speed was driving me crazy, it just can't keep up with my needs running 2 businesses.

Alternatively you could wait for the blackberry priv for a physical keyboard, that could be cool. I loved the keyboard on my old HTC G1!

Or join us and go 6p and have no slow down and latest updates and support in 3+ years time ;)

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyfoster:
Upgrading from a M9 bought recently to replace a Nexus 5 that I dropped. The Nexus 5 generally 'just worked' intuitively, but I did struggle with only 32GB.

Obviously with the M9, HTC tried to differentiate their own software which sat on top of the Google apps which 'just worked'. HTC succeeded, hence why I pre-ordered a new Nexus phone as soon as I could.

I don't like big phones. The Nexus 5 was the perfect size, and the M9 was just a bit too big. The Nexus 5X is slightly bigger again, and the 6P much more so. However, if I'm going to have to have a phone that's too big, I might as well have one with some storage (and not f****d around with by HTC).

Got a strange error. I was trying to send out picture from the camera app today. The pic was taken at 2M, so it was too large to send via MMS and Gmail. I changed the registry entry to increase the max limit of files that could be sent via MMS or email. Once I did that though, the Camera App nor the Picture viewing app launches the email tool correctly.

Previous to the registry change, if you told either the picture or camera app to "send", it would ask which account you want to send from, then launch a new message.

After my registry change, I hit "send", it asks me which account, then it comes back and asks what account again, and then just opens the inbox of the account I selected.

I changed the reg values back to the 300K limit, but it didn't change the way the camera or picture app selects the mail account.

I can work around it by starting a new message then inserting the pic, but it is annoying that it's not working like it is supposed to.

Anyone have any ideas?

BTW, this is the registry edit I made:

Send Large MMS:

Registry: HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\UI\Size Limit

Key: wap2sendlimit1 (you can also change wap1sendlimit1)

Default: 307200

New Value: 1228800 (1200K)

Set the new value by going to Text/Multimedia --> Menu --> New --> MMS --> Menu --> Options --> MMS Options --> Servers --> T-mobile MMS

I changed both WAP2sendlimit1 and WAP1sendlimit1
[Wing, P4350 General] elsatani:
When I want to send pictures on MMS I do it the following way:

"pictures and video" - marks the picture I want to send - pushed "meny" down to the right - selects "send..." - then chooses MMS.

Then the picture automatically resizes down to a suitable size, 20-50kb

If I jump directly to "send as MMS" the picture is sendt full size. Dont ask why. :)

Password wanted by TWRP and I rooted my phone with Click To Root, I never gave them a password and when I try to do a Factory reset their screen comes up. to wipe, restore, and other utilities such as that. As far as the pass word goes I cant remember that and don't ever put one in just for this reason. Click to root support sucks because if I want to chat with an analyst it cost like $34.00 and they have a email support which I have heard nothing back from. also my screen is saying I have an available system update, I don't know if this has anything to do with the password?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
This is likely due to encryption being enabled. Nothing to do with an update being available. Speaking of, do not attempt the update in that manner if you have a custom recovery. The best way would be to back up your data to a computer and use whatever method that the manufacturer of your phone has to update via PC. Since you didn't mention what phone and which update, I can't be more specific.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeltaEternal:
Hi all, I'm a root noob, I've never rooted an Android device before but I'm strongly tempted to root my Tab S 8.4. This method looks rather complicated, though the fact that it's confirmed working for Lollipop and safe with Knox is nice. On the other hand, CF-Auto-Root looks rather easy but the official website says nothing about Lollipop on the Tab S 8.4, and if I'm reading correctly, requires an unlocked bootloader? What's the easiest and safest way to root?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiTiB:
The easiest way is to use KingRoot. Worked for me on my SMT-700 without any problems..oh yeah, you'll see a scary message about "device failure" or "device not compatible" or something like that. [emoji12]

Then check out "SuperSume" to change the superuser app...if you wanna'.

Don't forget about boot image and recovery...TWRP is my favorite.

Happy rooting!

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeltaEternal:
I don't mean to bother you or anything, but to be totally honest that method has me rather confused XD It sounds like I need to go to samsung-updates.com and download and flash the Kitkat firmware for my region using Odin, which will unfortunately wipe my device. Then I use Kingroot, reboot, and uninstall Kingroot. Next, I use the terminal to gain root privileges, use System App Remover to uninstall Kinguser, again ensure I have root privileges, and use said temporary root privileges reflash the stock firmware. Then I install a bootloader because flashing stock firmware erased the one I already had (?) using download mode and Odin. That sounds awful messy, though if it's confirmed to be rather safe and solid, I'll still gladly consider it. Am I correct in this interpretation of the guide? Additionally, would the second flash using Flashfire also require me to wipe my device? (I'm guessing no.)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiTiB:
Sounds like you want to just root, and *not* install a new OS. If this is the case then simply use KingRoot. It doesn't do anything except provide root priviledges/access and install Kinguser, as you mentioned. [you really did your part in researching, unlike some folks who just want to be spoon fed, I and others really appreciate that].

I provide a link to the version of KingRoot that used. There is also, as previously mentioned, SuperSume. I noticed there is a paid version on Play, but I know there is the "original" free version that, I think, was written by an xda member.

Hope this helps

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeltaEternal:
You are correct, I just want stock Lollipop with root on top. In that case, should I follow the Kingroot guide I linked to above and omit certain steps, or should I just install Kingroot and do something else entirely? Would this method obtain a root access that is persistent across reboots? (It sounds like in the guide it only gives you root until the device next shuts down.) Additionally, how would I go about receiving an OTA update? I anticipate that installing an OTA while rooted could cause problems.

Oh, and thanks for linking me to the Drive folder and such!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiTiB:
What you are asking is beyond my knowledge/experience level. I've only used custom ROMs after rooting and never had any thought of keeping stock anything...getting rid of every piece of Samsung software was the main reason for me to root.

As for KingRoot, though, I used it once and have done many flashes of new ROMs, TWRP versions, etc., and have not had to use it again. Hope this info helps.

Someone else will need to chime in on this..good luck.
