[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sovanyio:
I also have this problem.. Got a little better when I started using Google's DNS servers, but still happens occasionally
[Nexus 6P General] CraigP17:
My 6P arrived defective today :( *UPDATE* perfect replacement received < 24 hrs later

*UPDATE*

Google overnighted a replacement unit i received yesterday and all is good. was just one of the unlucky ones!

The screen was not installed correctly. it is pushed too far to the bottom leaving a large gap in between the top of the black plastic and the metal frame. at the bottom the screen is pushed up over the metal lip and no flush with the device.

now i wait until next week to get my replacement...hopefully
[Nexus 6P General] Cpt.Schaaf:
That's a real bummer [emoji20]
[Nexus 6P General] Wickidmasshole:
So you were lucky not so lucky :mad:
[Nexus 6P General] CraigP17:
i guess thats the best way to put it.
[Nexus 6P General] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Thats a bummer:eek: Best of luck with the replacement!
[Nexus 6P General] LinuxParadigm:
Quality is Job #8

How on Earth did that ever pass quality control? Grrrrrrr
[Nexus 6P General] hello00:
thats what happens when you get the 1st batches..you were the unlucky ones..soz
[Nexus 6P General] CraigP17:
tell me about it. i used to work retail and we sold the cheap Huawei prepaid phones so I was concerned about them making the 6P...then all the reviews about how premium and well built it is....now this
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
It happens with every manufacturer. My wife had her MacBook sent in 4 times until they finally just replaced practically everything, and now her power button on her iPhone is unresponsive.

[Nexus 6P General] Crakinarse:
total bummer.
[Nexus 6P General] Born<ICs:
Not good.
[Nexus 6P General] luciferiusXI:
First batch devices always suck.
[Nexus 6P General] GlennnDR:
Sorry to see that after such a long wait
[Nexus 6P General] thetonyclifton:
Gutted. Unlucky.
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
That's a bummer! Hope there QC improved for the rest of us!
[Nexus 6P General] Tony_Stark270:
Not true bro, there's always a finite number of devices in every release that have had issues. Happens every time. Even after the initial batches.
[Nexus 6P General] Appok:
Got my Nexus 6P and starting to think that there is somthing wrong with the colour? like the top half is more pinkish and the bottom half is white...

attached a picture, not sure its the greatest example
[Nexus 6P General] Sammae7:
Yeah, I agree with the first/early batch statements. My Nexus 6 was a fi3st batch and had burn in issues and my LG G4 is a first batch and has the infamous touchscreen issues.

I promised myself to fight off impatience and never buy a phone on release again. I'll wait a month or two so they can work out any possible kinks.
[Nexus 6P General] kboya:
First batches can be more problematic than later ones, but it's not always the case (as Tony_stark said earlier). In my 1st day Nexus experience:

N4 (x2 16gb), perfect;

N5 (x5, 16gb & 32gb) 4 perfect, 1 with dodgy charger, replacement perfect (and no button issues on any, although the lower volume than later ones was noticeable, errrrm... later, once they were released);

N7 (x1 16gb) faulty with screen lift like yours, the replacement the same, 2nd replacement perfect.

N7 (2013, x1 16gb) perfect.

Early adopters are guinea pigs, and our issues and feedback do add to the later device. It doesn't mean the first batches are bad, just more likely to show issues, in part due to the relatively small numbers of very focused buyers.

Still, it's always unsettling to receive one that's not perfect. Hope your replacement is perfect!
[Nexus 6P General] ggreenwood334:
This happened nexus everyone in the waiting room blew up customer service on shipping times and some guy in China had to take a dump.
[Nexus 6P General] ucsdsig13:
Hate to see threads like this. Good luck with the replacement.
[Nexus 6P General] teambestyrandy:
Just received my aluminium 32gb 6p everything looks good except my power buttons and volume rocker is a bit wobbly if you move it around. Does anyone else have this as well?
[Nexus 6P General] Banggugyangu:
When you're producing thousands of a device for launch, mistakes will be made. Every device launch in history has had the odd lemon or 2 go out. It sucks when it's you, but it does happen. Where one should look for judgement is both in how mistakes are corrected, and how they're prevented in the future.
[Nexus 6P General] Tony_Stark270:
One thing to remember here is there were loads of the first wave to go out. Thousands of Nexii have been delivered, and generally the only people who post are the ones with major issues (not a bad thing, I do it too). The thing to keep on mind is that while there are a few devices that have stupid hardware issues, there are THOUSANDS in perfect shape.
[Nexus 6P General] CByrdie:
I have a 32gb graphite and my power and volume rocker are fine as is my screen
[Nexus 6P General] maxwellag:
For those of you who already have your 6P... Does it make a rattling noise near the camera if you gently shake it? I have read a few different posts about it.
[Nexus 6P General] BerryAl:
Man this story was heartbreaking, if that was me.. would have needed some time to recover from the emotional trauma of a broken 6P :p
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
That's autofocus, the lenses need to move. It's typical.

Did google do anything besides the exchange?
[Nexus 6P General] xrealtalk:
Saw an unboxing video earlier and the bottom of the edge had a chip in the metal.
[Nexus 6P General] con100:
That's normal. My Note 4 makes that sound and I'm sure my 6P does also but I'm not going to try. The phone is pretty slippery.
[Nexus 6P General] Aridon:
OP, that really sucks man. Hope you get your replacement soon.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
No rattle at all near camera,power and volume buttons also fine
[Nexus 6P General] gtg465x:
It's a common problem with Samsung's AMOLED screens. Many people aren't very observant and don't notice it. I returned four Galaxy S6s earlier this year trying to find one that had even whites across the entire screen. You should probably try getting it replaced, but I must warn you that if it's like the Galaxy S6 and Note 5, there is a high likelihood that you will get a replacement with a similar problem of pink somewhere on the screen.
[Nexus 6P General] luciferiusXI:
B.s

Same here.
[Nexus 6P General] dewedMountain:
Mine doesn't have any rattle either and power and volume buttons appear to be sturdy, not rocking around. I do remember my Nexus 4 or 5 having a rattle near the camera though so I think that's pretty normal and not defective.
[Nexus 6P General] Tsuul:
Is the likelihood high because it's getting replaced by a referb, or because all screens are like that?

If it's a referb issue, would it be better to return for refund and reorder (with the long wait) to guarantee getting a new, unused phone?
[Nexus 6P General] gtg465x:
Because many AMOLED screens are just like that, not because of refurb.
[Nexus 6P General] gtg465x:
Truth. Deal with it.

See this 91 page thread in the Galaxy S6 section where everyone was getting replacement after replacement trying to get a screen with uniform whites and no green or pink tints. Most eventually just gave up and decided that's just how Samsung's current AMOLED screens look. Others gave up and switched to a phone with an LCD screen.

[Nexus 6P General] luciferiusXI:
Where are you getting your data from? When you say "most" are like that and blabla how do you know? I have used every galaxy phone made this year and never experienced what you consider normal behavior of amoled screens.
[Nexus 6P General] Appok:
getting a replacement sent to me right now, he assured me its not a refurb phone but a brand new nexus 6p being sent.
[Nexus 6P General] gtg465x:
I said "most" people in that thread gave up on finding a Galaxy S6 with a perfect screen, not that most of the screens have uniformity issues, though many of them do. My data, though, is from my own personal experience. I literally owned seven (7) Galaxy S6s, 4 of which had either a pink or green tint on some portion of the screen, and one of which had a group of dead pixels. Only two of those S6s I owned had what I would call a uniform screen. Granted, I have very good eyes and am very keen on spotting minor variations of screen color and other minor defects that your average person would never, ever look close enough to notice. My wife, dad, and mom all own iPhones and I have found dead pixels on each of their screens that they never once noticed despite using the phones for a long time. I think a significant number of Nexus 6P screens (probably not "most", but a lot) will have minor tints or white point shifts somewhere on the screen, but only a fraction of people with affected phones will notice it.
[Nexus 6P General] luciferiusXI:
Where do you live? May be they ship low quality items on purpose to that area... is not normal to have such screens though. If your nexus has crappy screen like that you will keep it?
[Nexus 6P General] gtg465x:
In the US, but the Galaxy S6s I bought were from all over because I wanted an unlocked version, which Samsung doesn't sell directly here. A couple were latin American models (purchased from eBay and Amazon sellers), a couple were from Italy (bought at my local Fry's, oddly enough), and a few were UK models (purchased from Expansys-USA). But I also noticed the issue on a couple display models at my local Best Buy, and those were US versions of the phone.

My Nexus 6P came today and it does not have any pink or green tints thankfully. However, the screen is grainy if you look close (compared to LCDs) and is pretty hard to see outdoors when it's bright. At this point, I'm already pretty sure that I will be returning the 6P and just keeping my Moto X Pure. The Pure has a MUCH brighter screen, better whites, better sounding speakers, and surprisingly feels just as fast and smooth as the 6P 95% of the time. The cameras are a toss up, with the 6P being better in low light and the Moto X capturing a LOT more detail when lighting is good.
[Nexus 6P General] CraigP17:
they did send a replacement brand new device that i received less than 24 hours later.

all is good now!
[Nexus 6P General] AndreaCristiano:
Very cool! Enjoy it!
[Nexus 6P General] CraigP17:
got a replacement in less than 24 hours! this time there are no issues!
[Nexus 6P General] lucky_strike33:
You have had 2 nexus 6ps while a lot of us have yet to even receive theirs!! Damn!
[Nexus 6P General] IberianPrince:
Fingers crossed my replacement is good too :thumbup:
[Nexus 6P General] SilentByte:
Wait, you exchanged it? Or did you return the original and purchase another?

Because the device return policy says:

"The Google Store doesn’t do exchanges. You can return your purchase and use your refund to buy something else though."
[Nexus 6P General] IberianPrince:
Well they're doing something different, because my return was just posted today and my replacement is in shipment.
[Nexus 6P General] SilentByte:
Do you need to send the original back before they ship the replacement?

In other words, can you get a replacement, compare it to the original, and ship back the one that you don't want?
[Nexus 6P General] IberianPrince:
Well you can compare if you like, you have 21 days from the time your replacement is ordered to send the return back.

As for sending back either one, I don't think the returns work that way, each return is authorised and tagged with the IMEI number of the phone...
[Nexus 6P General] SilentByte:
Ok, so pretty much once you initiate a return, there's no canceling it. I would be forced to send the original back.
[Nexus 6P General] kboya:
yes, but you can rma the second (and third and fourth, and so on) if it is also faulty
[Nexus 6P General] likonvampire:
I am waiting for mine to come in on Monday ..
[Nexus 6P General] madanshah16:
Delete
[Nexus 6P General] Ulver:
I'm pretty sure you can cancel an RMA and keep your original one. I did this with the Nexus 5. I just contacted Google and they had to resend me the shipping return label with the IMEI of the RMA device.
[Nexus 6P General] thenewak:
I should get someone who got a good one claim they got a bad one get the rma they keep one I keep one and give them the money lol.
[Nexus 6P General] BamaNZ:
Just found out my camera won't focus. Took me 5 days to take a photo... let's see how the replacement process goes for me.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
No case blocking the laser outfocus?
[Nexus 6P General] stuff:
Uh, when you RMA, Google has your credit card information on file. If you fail to send back your "defective" device, they will simply charge you full price for the one they shipped out to you to replace your defective device.

So, in essence this would mean that you still pay full price for it.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
I think he means he could jump the line by finding someone with the device to ask for a replacement and then pay them for it.
[Nexus 6P General] stuff:
Fair enough. If you think a potential refurbished device is worth it.
[Nexus 6P General] badboy47:
Omgggg that's f*#ked up. Now I am worried seeing more people are getting defective. Wtf ;O
[Nexus 6P General] Neverendingxsin:
They also ask for the IMEI # of the defective device, so my guess is they do something with that.

@ OP glad to see they got a replacement to you so fast, wish I could say the same thing about getting mine.
[Nexus 6P General] sonofevil77:
I was a iPhone nut until the 5 came out and every iPhone I had went back for defects. I haven't had one Android fail yet. Knock on wood....

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6P General] BamaNZ:
No i took the case off to make sure. It's an official Nexus P case from Google. I wish I had a better replacement story, mine is going pretty horrifically right now. Google had me order another one with an email they sent but i've never received a confirmation. Their help emailed me back saying they have known issues with their replacement confirmations. I have no tracking number, confirmation number or anything. This is on-going since Saturday. I originally paid for overnight but they only allotted me 3-5 day shipping. I have no clue what the status is now as I can't handle another 30 minute phone call getting the run-around again.
[Nexus 6P General] BamaNZ:
This is what my camera looks like. Oddly enough as soon as I replied i got a confirmation from Google. November 9th - 11th for my replacement.... not impressed. Motorola did a much better job when my Moto X had issues.
[Nexus 6P General] tech_head:
They can blacklist the device if it doesn't coma back AND still charge your card.
[Nexus 6P General] kboya:
[MENTION=1892434]BamaNZ[/MENTION] yikes, that's horrible quality! Did you press your nose to the glass before taking it? ;)
[Nexus 6P General] madanshah16:
Do they blacklist. Are u sure.?
[Nexus 6P General] tech_head:
Not 100% sure but what does it matter? Device defective, send it back.
[Nexus 6P General] raptir:
My screen is basically flush across the top and a little "depressed" from the frame on the bottom. Meh.
[Nexus 6P General] madanshah16:
I see slight tint of pink and blue while tilting the screen. Is it normal for oled screens
[Nexus 6P General] TechBSwift:
Stop making up stuff, they don't blacklist the phone, they only charge you for it.
[Nexus 6P General] CraigP17:
So here is a pic I snapped before sending bad unit back. Defective unit is in the front. See how much the screen is lifted and cannot be pushed down. It was lifted over the metal edge. Not just a petty imperfection.

RMA was less than 24 hours so I can't be upset.
[Nexus 6P General] subhani:
I know it isn't ideal but it IS normal actually. In fact, my Z3, which is a brilliant white display and brighter than everything else bar the iPhone has this color shift, more pronounced if I'm honest. Except the shift is more grey and drops in brightness.
[Asus Transformer TF701] bigski:
Hello,

This afternoon the screen of my TF701 started to behave very strange.

There is an illuminated white border on the outside of the screen.

I've attached two picture's where you can see it.

Has one of you seen this behaviour before? And what can I do about it?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spoertm:
Hi,

Problem is, that I cannot use Xposed anymore with CM 12.1, nor Vaniraosp (Exodus). I say that I can't use it anymore because Xposed used to work with Vaniraosp before I updated to the latest build.

What happens is that I flash Xposed zip through twrp as usual, but then my phone just won't boot, it doesn't bootloop, it just doesn't boot up.

I would appreciate some help, thanks [emoji3]
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] re1743:
I don't think you're suing the right xposed build for those ROMs.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spoertm:
I'm using CM 12.1 which is android 5.1.1 and so is Vaniraosp. With them I'm using Xposed for Android 5.1.

Is that what you meant?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] re1743:
No - I mean that there might be a ROM specific xposed build. For instance, my SlimLP ROM needed it's own build of xposed that I found in the thread. the regular 5.1 Xposed caused bootloops.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spoertm:
Oh, well, I guess I have to search for such a thing then. I'll give an update soon.

Update: I just found out that there is a newer Xposed build (v75) and I was using a slightly older v74 so I'm flashing this in a minute and I'll see if it works.

Update 2: Boom! That did it.Thx for the help guys.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanjui:
When you update rom, update Xposed too. Keep that in your mind. :good:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spoertm:
Yeah, I already know that. Thanks!!

I have just reinstalled android SDK and the google usb driver (manually) when connecting either my Nexus 7 2013 or 6P and typing adb devices in my command prompt it doesn't show any devices. I have attached an image of my adb interface driver with an exclamation mark at the side of it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknown1205:
try using the universal adb drivers. i dont have a link handy but google that and it'll work. i tried it on mine and it worked.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapgut:
Having the same trouble as Ritchiejoe did above. It's happened before a couple times with different phones.

Thanks for that tip unknown1205, will try it, can't deal with a phone without AdAway!

The universal adb drivers by Koush worked!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKenta:
Im getting one later today that has rooted Morom 6.5 Android 5.0 up there already on the galaxy note 4 verizon developer edition, can someone point me to the right direct or advice where i can downgrade it?

I love kitkat, and i dont want no lolipop , if someone can point where i can just put a clean NJ5 KITKAT firmware thats already rooted, or if anyone can recommend me a CM ( CM roms used to be my favorite in s3 and 4 days.. cleanest roms ever) or something thats actually kitkat but no bloatware etc and runs smoothly/faster near stock android.

sorry if this been asnwered before but all i can find is lolipop all over the note 4, and there is a high chance im blind! lol
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] msuk:
All,

I am experiencing a very annoying Bluetooth problem and was hoping someone could help me.

I have a MDA Vario 2 running the latest HTC WM6 rom. I have a Holux M-1000 bluetooth receiver that is paired with my MDA and works perfectly using TomTom6

Now when I pair my Nokia BH207 bluetooth headset with my MDA and switch it on the MDA no longer able to communicate with my Holux GPS receiver. If I switch the Nokia headset off suddenly the phone is able to see my Holux. It is like the Nokia headset is blocking all other bluetooth devices from talking with my MDA. Why is this and how can I fix it so the MDA can communicate with both the Nokia BH207 and GPS at the same time?

Thanks

Msuk
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] weaverinva:
I hope this is not against forum rules. I am not selling these phones either. I purchased one and there are 3 more pristine Verizon Note 3 SM-900V for sale that are at OS level 4.3 so they can be nicely rooted.

Thought someone might want one.

Search ebay for 'SM-900V 4.3' and include the description.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] pizza_pablo:
I picked one up for $245 shipped. Supposed to be new in box with a sim card. Should arrive tomorrow.

Now to see which baseband it actually has and be really careful doing the proper steps to root.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] pizza_pablo:
Well, I was bamboozled!

I specifically sent the seller (The NPS store) asking if it was definitely on 4.3. I was assured it was.

I got it today. Low and behold it is on NK1 / 4.4.4

(dying Pac-Man sound)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] pizza_pablo:
I did receive a complete refund, including shipping and NPS also paid return shipping.

Then, I found a 4.4.2 rooted Note 3 on swappa and is supposed to arrive today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jellyhead:
I've been bidding on broken phones that still power on. All I need is a working board which hasn't been updated. So far they are all being bid too high. There is a risk that they're not honest about the android version installed. I can't see buying a complete phone when I have a perfect working Note 3 plus a spare housing/digitizer with a slightly cracked screen. This was my wifes phone and I just bought one with a dead board off ebay to replace the cracked screen. Had I known there was no working root for 4.4.4+ I wouldn't have bothered fixing it. I'm currently using a Note 2 with a custom but mostly stock rooted 4.3 and TWRP. This has been a great phone but it is getting a bit dated. I was waiting for a root option for the Note 4 then the Note 5 arrived with the same root limitations. I have to admit I almost bought the Note 5 anyway after seeing the 3D display. I don't know if all new top end devices have 3D displays but it's a cool feature.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Telemachus:
3d display? Eh?

I had a note 5 for a week. Sold it for $600. Back on my Note 2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Seion:
I have a Note 3 that is rooted. I can't remember what I have for stock, but its running Jasmin 5.1.1 with firmware OB6. No trip on knox flag. Is it possible to get it back to 4.3 rooted? Thinking about selling it too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tusharc2:
i have the same model note 3 smn900v ..

i have the same model note 3 smn900v .. i have lollipop since i purchased the device if i flash 4.3 kitkat can i root it ? i need root very badly and if yes please tell me the process to root 4.3

p.s samsung note 3 verizon
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] weaverinva:
Your experience is the same as mine. NPS paid both directions. I am glad that you found one on swappa. They atr6gard to come by. I should have updated my post. NPS is not selling root able phones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] weaverinva:
The note 2 is a great phone especially on cm 12.1. I have two sprint phones on cm. So responsive.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] weaverinva:
No, you can't go back from lollipop jasmine rom. On the note 3 Verizon, after updating bootloader to 4.4.4 or after, there is no downgrading. Sorry.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] weaverinva:
There is no process. Once updated to 4.4.4 or 5.0.2 bootloader then a downgrade is not possible at this point. You can get another phone if you want root. A used nexus 6 or perhaps an HTC m8 or lg G2. Some of those had unlocked boot loader.

The Verizon Note ii is a fine phone even if you find its 4.4.2 variant, you can root it and run safestrap.

All the best.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] weaverinva:
What rom do you have on your note ii? Can you confirm that once at bootloader ND7 that a person can no longer flash a custom recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Telemachus:
Safestrap and you get TWRP. No CM but alliance and n3bula roms
