[XDA Assist] BrokenStars:
Recently I began noticing some problems with the Wi-Fi on my Blu Studio Energy. What happens, as far as I can tell from what I've observed is that when my device is on one Wi-Fi network, it will remain connected, but the Internet access will completely stop if my device switches to a different Access Point for that network. The only solution I can find is to manually switch off the Wi-Fi and then turn it back on, which gets EXTREMELY tiresome when my phone is in just the right spot that it constantly switches between APs. Does anybody have any suggestions?

My phone runs off Android 4.4.2, with a 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi module and a MediaTek Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 processor. It's a custom ROM built for the Gionee M3 (which is basically the same device, as said by the "Blu Studio Energy Official Thread").

After one week of totally normal use, you can see the coloring coming off near the camera, particularly underneath. Luckily I ordered an Aluminum one also. As much as I love the graphite, I'm not confident the whole thing won't look like this in a few months.
[Nexus 6P General] Chilidog:
Wow
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
The Graphite I returned arrived out of the box with specs coming off like that.

Bending, color coming off, units arriving damaged. This phones turning into a cheap piece of rubbish.

[Nexus 6P General] Aridon:
My graphite isn't showing that yet, hopefully never.

Out of curiosity did you ever rest it on its back.. This isn't good..

[Nexus 6P General] Deekayy:
Are you laying it on a rough table that causes the paint to come off? I have graphite as well and it doesn't happen to me probably because I know the paint will come off so I put it on a soft fabric platform when I lay the phone down. Granted, that shouldn't happen though.
[Nexus 6P General] maconsultant:
WhaWey isn't known for its premium devices. Did you happen to snap a picture of your RMA'd device before you sent it back? I'd like to see it if you did take a shot before sending it back to Goggle.

Well, it only seems to be on the chamfered edges, which is a wear surface. Not saying i'm justifying it, but it is a wear surface if you're setting it down.

But should have been more resistant...mine arrives tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P General] ern88:
You could get a wrap for it. But it sucks that the paint is coming off. I have a graphite on it's way to me now. Hope the case protects it.

I don't even sit down my plastic G3 on tables/desks without something soft underneath so I guess I'll need to continue that behavior. It should be more resistant though.
[Nexus 6P General] suvo_bh:
This is very common and bound to happen for black colour on anodised aluminium unless the phone is used inside a case always and like intensive care patients. The same thing was observed when apple launched iPhone 5. There is a reason why in the later days pure black colour on anodised aluminium was dropped and space grey was adopted.

Hmm... A distress 6P can be kind of shabby chic
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
No, I boxed it and sent it back. I did mention it in another thread at the time, it was very slight but definitely there now I realise what it was.
[Nexus 6P General] fury683:
I've had mine for a week now and I'm definitely out of the treating it like a baby stage. No chips or dings for me. Phone sits on my desk at work, tables at home, etc, no case or skin. Not saying that it isn't happening to OP, but the reactions some of the people in this thread have to what is currently an isolated experience is kind of absurd.

When I got my black Pebble Time I was discouraged that I got a scratch in the bezel on day one. But then I said you know what, it's going to happen sooner or later, so if I get it out of the way now, I won't worry about it in the future. The watch still works just fine and it hasn't had another (noticeable) scratch since.
[Nexus 6P General] boynamedstacy:
All 3 colors will do that if you slide it around on a surface frequently.
[Nexus 6P General] chaco81:
this is exactly the reason i didnt get the black one.. i went Aluminum

my moto 360 is black (didnt choose it, my wife bought it) and while i love the black look, it has few spots that the stainless shows because of tiny scratches and drives my ocd bunkers...

since i didnt want that on my phone, i am super glad i went with silver instead
[Nexus 6P General] hal752:
I've had mine for just under a week. Its graphite gray and has being in a case since day 2. Im careful with it and at the moment it still looks fresh out of the box.

Maybe its because there rushing these out of the factory as fast as they can that the colour hasnt settled maybe?
[Nexus 6P General] chaco81:
nah , its the nature of the metal/coating, and its normal for the type used

my buddy owns a CNC machine shop and we talked about this coatings multiple times. this anodize is not top class, it doesnt penetrate the metal throught...

the layer of coating to achieve these is very thin, and the metal is not super hard anyways, so the moment u scratch it enough, the actual metal color will show...

its not unless you powder coat and the coating has some real thickness that its quite durable, and powder coating wouldnt provide the necessary tolerances needed for gaps, assembly, etc
[Nexus 6P General] lucky_strike33:
Did you dry hump your phone with your jeans on??
[Nexus 6P General] osi13:
This doesn't surprise me. I have a black iPhone 5 that gets little to no use and it did the same thing in less than a week. It's why I went with the aluminum.
[Nexus 6P General] gtg465x:
This is why I went with plain aluminum... there is no color to be rubbed off. This is also why Apple stopped offering a black iPhone.
[Nexus 6P General] NateK:
But the aluminum isn't raw either. If the top layer is rubbed off it's going to be a different color underneath as well. Maybe not as obvious at the graphite, but still not immune from the problem of scuffs/scratches
[Nexus 6P General] paramdinkar:
hells yeah it does!!
[Nexus 6P General] GatorsUF:
For those of you threatening to cancel your order, please do. I'd hate for you to end up with a phone that can be scratched and bent.

As a plus I should get mine sooner :)

Haha thanks dude,

Shame I've lost the log in to my original XDA account.

I actually don't know how I feel about it. Do I have a defective unit? Unlikely....

yet it hasn't happened to many others
[Nexus 6P General] Roxy:
I don't think you have a defective unit. The coating they used on that particular model is very thin... so it was bound to happen.

IMO, most people have not complained cause' their phone is protected by a case. ^^;
[Nexus 6P General] :
Well, that was expected as that is just painted black silver model...
[Nexus 6P General] FLUFFYMANGOES:
i dont think so. there is no paint on the aluminum variant. the chipping is the paint coming off the metal. there might be a clear coat but if that chips off, it wont be noticeable... because its clear
[Nexus 6P General] boynamedstacy:
I'm not sure why people think the graphite is painted, it's definitely not. It's anodized just like the aluminum and both will scratch and people are already reporting aluminum scratches on reddit. All 6p's will be subject to wear, regardless of color.

[Nexus 6P General] Aridon:
Graphite is going to show the scratches and wear more. I still ordered one I just know I have to be really careful otherwise it will show.
[Nexus 6P General] jsny:
grab a brand new black sharpie, color touch it up and move on with your life.
[Nexus 6P General] makoto_ai:
Mine came with a slight imperfection like a spec where the coating wasn't as shiny as the rest. (32gb graphite) I have an aluminium that also had a slight imperfection. Not going to sweat it.... the graphite looks 100% better as the aluminium edges are distracting when looking at the screen.
[Nexus 6P General] H0tep:
Everybody was warned. This isn't the first dark metal phone that's come out. Ask HTC M8/M9 users. There were even several reviewers that mentioned that the graphite one scared them.

This is absolutely why I never order a new phone at launch. Everyone wants to be first to get their shiny new toy (can't even be to show it off because of the ugly visor, unknown Huawei, and most people have never even heard of it) just so they can say they got it at launch... Meanwhile people like me sit back in the cut and watch it all unfold.

You all are our Guinea Pigs, and for this (I'll speak for everyone not in your position) THANK YOU
[Nexus 6P General] Crazy Homeless Guy:
WTF... I assumed this anodized aluminum. Is the f'ing graphite just painted on? I feel like I may be driving a car that looks awesome but is held together with bondo and duct tape.
[Nexus 6P General] pifsworld:
I had this problem with my iPhone 5 but you just learn to be careful like with all new phones but if you want to protect it get a nice dbrand skin they've got some awesome looking back skins for the 6p.
[Nexus 6P General] Crazy Homeless Guy:
I am coming off a dark colored m7 that I have put through hell and only the rougher edges show any signs of true metal color. Sigh.
[Nexus 6P General] pifsworld:
The iPhone 5 had the same thing plus if your careful it will be fine mine is and dbrand do some awesome skins for the back of the 6p.
[Nexus 6P General] Crazy Homeless Guy:
To some extent I don't mind wear on materials.. the random dent, aluminum shining through at the corners etc... It gives things a nice worn in feel. But for the phone to be doing this less than a month after release is concerning.
[Nexus 6P General] Vandam500:
Have had my M8 since March 2014 and no case, color is still fine ;)
[Nexus 6P General] osi13:
Do it. No one cares. You'll see that iPhones are just as bad. My coworker's daughter is on iPhone 6 #4 after numerous hardware problems. I've had the 6p for 11 days and honestly I'd rather have a plastic device.
[Nexus 6P General] cwg999:
Aluminum.

This is correct. Annodized aluminum is not really to increase wear durability versus metal so much as it is used to decrease corrosion and then for a lot of companies as a sight for sore eyes from aluminum. Take a knife to the back and you'll be greeted with the aluminum color very easily. Aluminum is also very soft, but forms an oxide layer which makes it durable.

Any who if you have the graphite I suggest not sliding your phone on any metal surfaces.

If it's chipping off from placing it on a wood table... Return.

If I'm wrong please correct me.

[Nexus 6P General] gtg465x:
All I know is I've had my aluminum 6P for 10 days and use it without a case and don't have a single scratch or sign of wear yet.
[Nexus 6P General] AWD FTW:
Things are like this every time a new device comes out. We are all so damn critical. Its just a phone and its going to look fine in your hand as you are texting or snap chatting. Give it a month or so and we will all move on and be enjoying this device. This is a $499 device, thats about $200 cheaper than most the competition. So costs had to be saved some where, it is still a very premium device if you consider everything else.
[Nexus 6P General] H0tep:
Exactly. It's a budget premium device. Camera is fantastic. 3gb RAM (4 woulda been nice for futureproofing but at least not 2gb like 5x) battery is huge, screen is pretty, and 128gb is awesome.

Just would have been nice to add a little more quality to the basics (back panel shattering, color coming off, and the trim bending)
[Nexus 6P General] Ulver:
I've got a skinomi clear tech skin on the back of my graphite. It looks good and adds grip to the device too. ?
[Nexus 6P General] AWD FTW:
I have a dbrand skin set coming. Only because I know metal of any kind will scratch. Besides, it feels wrong setting metal of any kind on a surface that isnt anything but soft. I will likely pick up a clear case for mine.

From what I understand, the nexus program is a pretty tight and short deadline from when you get the contract to when the phone comes out. So the shattering rear glass if it is indeed a design flaw likely didnt have enough time or testing, so they gambled. But only time will tell if it is a wide spread issue or just some isolated cases. The color coming off? I saw that **** from a mile away which is why I opted for alu, so any scratches wouldnt be very noticeable. This is the first device they have brought to the states, and it is a Nexus device. I say they did a pretty good job, and if it is any indication, the next device from them should be even better.

But hey, Im a happy camper, its miles better than the Note 5 that I have and Im on project Fi so my bill is now cheaper :)
[Nexus 6P General] H0tep:
Yeah Huawei said it was a nightmare working with Google and their deadlines. I agree and hope the glass isn't widespread, because if that happens after warranty, that would suck horribly.

The Nexus program has done a lot for manufactures. Samsung wasn't anywhere near the powerhouse they became until the galaxy Nexus and followed with the S series, and the Nexus 4 and 5 really brought lg to the game as they came with the G series. Moto had the droid, so they were already here, but the Nexus 6 paved way for their X series. Hopefully this gives Huawei a foot in the door for the US market. They've always made "decent" devices, and they're fingerprint scanners were top notch.

We'll have to wait and see.

I'm so torn right now. I'd love the 6p, but the size and issues make me nervous. I would love a 5x but am waiting to see how the build holds up through early tests and kinda would prefer a metal/glass device. The One+ X is sexy as hell but the lack of lte bands make it iffy for the states. Note 5 is still calling me too... But its TW and AT&T + Knox = locked down for life.
[Nexus 6P General] AWD FTW:
Wait it out a little longer, see if any other problems crop up with the 6P. I can tell you the note 5, while a nice feeling device with a great camera, it doesnt hold a candle to the 6P in terms of every day usability. TW sucks and the over aggressive app closing really screws with the device speed, not to mention no development. And battery life has been no where near stellar. The 6P with marshmallow is just the cats pajamas. Coming from a Note 5, the size of the 6P isnt even noticeable.
[Nexus 6P General] Solid$nake008:
sorry to hear this, but me personally i got mine in a Ringke clear case....at this point perfect protection not one part of the phone touches any surface i put it on so i think i'm good for a while
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:

Very simply download FoxFi free version. The free version limits the amount of data you can use. Start your hotspot connection up through foxfi. Wait until the hot spot comes on, then all you are going to do is simply go to your recent apps screen, long press on foxfi, force stop. Your hotspot will now run without a hitch. No root, no computer needed !

Do you happen to have any screen shots for confirmation? I mean if this works, that would be awesome but I would assume they would patch this eventually. I would record the version number of foxfi for future reference as well.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
There are a few downsides with using FoxFi:

Costs money to get full functionaility

Requires a dedicated app

Installs a VPN, so you need lockscreen PIN

Can't use SmartLock

If you are rooted, I highly recommend you use my method which allows use of the native hotspot and the hotspot toggle. All you need to do is replace a file: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g4/general/how-to-enable-native-hotspot-unlimited-t3166435

[Verizon LG G4] biggestmexi:
Have you run into any data caps with using foxfi though? Does it shut off after a certain amount of time?

It really sucks because you need a lock screen PIN. I guess if there was more option after rooting in the development section, I would really do that, but I do not feeling like rooting and not getting updates just to get tether if all i need is a PIN though

Long pressing from that window does not open an option to force stop for me. Was that in an update or something? If I go to Application manager, it just shuts it down...
[Verizon LG G4] dockmaster:
You have to long press the FoxFi app in that window in the upper left corner over the FoxFi icon to get to the App info pg and hit force stop.

Worked fine. The lock screen isn't a big deal, since I don't tether all the time. Its just nice to have the option.

I am wondering if it is possible to use the xda orbit as a wireless router almost. I have a pc thats connected directly to the internet via a cable modem which is not wireless, a wireless laptop and of course the wireless on the orbit. Is it possible to get the laptop on the internet via the orbit connected via usb to the pc? If so how?!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] MaskedMarauder:
No it is not possible, connecting via cable disables WiFi, and enabling WiFi when the cable is in disables the USB connection. This is intentional and for security purposes.

You first have to upgrade to firs os 5 developer preview using these steps:

Go to :

1. developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/platforms/android-fireos?sc_channel=EM&sc_campaign=FireOSPreview&sc_%20detail=GetPreview

2. Press the yellow "developer preview" button on the right side of the page

3. Log into your amazon account

4. Choose your device

5. To speed up the update, go into system settings/device options/system updates and press the check for updates button

Once you do that and it is upgraded, you can follow all the instructions in my OP, and it should work.

It worked for me :)

Hope this helps.
