[Nexus 6P General] RPelham:
I don't remember living in a world where glass has a problem with spontaneous combustion. Phones get cracked or scratched either during the shipping process, or due to user error. They just don't develop scratches by themselves.

It

is

possible there was a hairline fracture in the glass, and while using it, it may have spread to be more noticeable. However a phone that is in pristine condition when unboxing, stays in said condition until there is user neglect.
[Nexus 6P General] deeproot:
so was this a scratch or a crack?
[Nexus 6P General] btort1:
Either you are a troll or just trying to bash the nexus brand or maybe telling the truth. But 99.9% of the time screens just don't "crack" or "shatter" for no reason, if that were the case, how come even the low budget phones don't crack or shatter out of nowhere? But it's just a coincidence this phone shatters?
[Nexus 6P General] anglerstock:
Your carrier advised you that glass cracks by sitting on the table when nobody is around? If that is what you understood from the memo, I am surprised the carrier still hasn't fired you. Now take your non sense elsewhere.

It is a trend now. Some retards break their screen then start threads to find/convince other people then call the company and say hey I got other people with exact same issue, here cover my phone under warranty.
[Nexus 6P General] FuMMoD:
Apparently the cheap Chinese clones don't suffer from random breaking glass. Nor do the cheap no name phones. Weirdddd
[Nexus 6P General] dastinger:
With that attitude, you're only scaring away other people that might wanted to share their experience with defective units otherwise. I don't understand the need to bash.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Please post the memo.
[Nexus 6P General] marcadam:
I'm sure we'll get a 'My phone spontaneously bent' post before too long. On a serious note I wish the mods would create the following threads: 'My phone is defective' and 'I damaged my phone and I blame the manufacturer'.
[Nexus 6P General] hello00:
im sure he didnt mean to say the phone breaks by itself..i think he meant that the screen will crack even with a slightest touch to the screen
[Nexus 6P General] RPelham:
people keep complaining of "cheap Chinese crap"... This isn't the case. You are misinformed and need to do some research if you believe this. Yes, it's made in China. With Gorilla Glass 4. I wasn't aware Gorilla Glass' strength changed depending on the country it was assembled in.
[Nexus 6P General] marcadam:
If that is indeed the case his phone must have been defective when it left the factory, this post would go in the 'My phone is defective' thread. I have touched my screen with various degrees of pressure and no cracks have appeared, my phone is not defective. Anyhow the long and short is we don't need a new post for every single issue, spontaneous or otherwise.
[Nexus 6P General] habs101:
You should learn to read. the Carrier has put the advisory not me.

They have advised us that some nexus 6p owners have reported that the glass panel has cracked spontaneously.

- Points to Mention to the Customer

- we are aware that a small portion of Huawe Nexus 6p customers may be experiencing this issue

This is on Rogers in Canada

Now move along.. the issue is very real .

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Oh No problem.

Issue is real and alive.. Not sure why so many people don't believe it is an issue . To many people living in a bubble
[Nexus 6P General] 318sugarhill:
Bwahahahahahahaha..... Spontaneously bent. That is hilarious.

In total we've owned 10 smartphones over the last 6.5 years. Never has any glass cracked or shattered except one. Droid 2. Was less than a month old and in my wife's purchase. Something hit the screen and caused a tiny crack in the glass and lcd. Fought like hello get it fixed under manufacturer warranty as I hardly call that abuse but to no avail had to go through insurance.

Point is, these are sensitive expensive electronic devices. Even throwing into your pocket with keys in your pocket can cause some damage to it. It's not the manufacturer's fault. I honestly can't believe how people treat their devices. Some don't even realize what they do can damage it. (like my wife just keeping it in her purse.... With 10 different things that can bang into it.) unfortunately we as a society have higher expectations, but have lower expectations for our own actions.

I'm not saying anyone deliberately caused damage and is trying to milk the system (as some do)... But take a closer look at what you do with your device daily. You don't rub your keys against your TV do you? You don't toss your computer on the counter. Unless you can honestly say you have babies the device in cloth since cell minute 1....stuff happens.
[Nexus 6P General] shadowcore:
Man,these boards turn into butthurt festivals.

Also,self brwaking glasses? The older sony z line phones used to have that issue as did the galaxy s3 if i recall.

People shouldnt be worried if someone says his/her phone broke.

This is statistically insignificant.

Now enjoy your expensive hardware.
[Nexus 6P General] anglerstock:
What s3 did you own that broke on its own? People on the s3 were the same idiots that would keep it in the backpocket and break it then call Samsung and say it broke on its own. History repeating itself now.
[Nexus 6P General] indianajonze:
i'd love to know more about this carrier advisory since the 6P is sold at no carrier that i am aware of. why would they then issue an advisory for an unsupported phone? This of course doesn't even get into the comment about swapping a phone which is unsupported and which there is no physical inventory. perhaps i'm wrong here, but isn't the nexus 6P and 5X online only via google atm?
[Nexus 6P General] habs101:
Guess you aren't from Canada

Here Canadian Carriers Rogers is selling the phone.. any other conspiracy theory you want to throw?

And yes you are wrong.
[Nexus 6P General] anglerstock:
Force of gravity in Canada is heavier than other parts of the world. It is normal for glass to break on its own in Canada.
[Nexus 6P General] habs101:
Yep that is exactly right..

Another conspiracy. . Weird how the first reports were from the USA though..

The issue is That it is real.... there is no conspiracy. . And all that which you guys are thinking.. thia phone is made weak. Huawei failed
[Nexus 6P General] anglerstock:
It is Canada through your voice "confirming" that rumirs are true, so yeah Canada takes the crown! Do you even own the phone? May be you are the new Arnold and have too much strength for this phone and break it just by simply breathing
[Nexus 6P General] habs101:
Hm before you speak and open idiotic thoughts.. go back and read a memo i posted from the carrier i work for Rogers and the memo advisory they have given us.

If the issue was not real we would not be advised to do anything.. now move along.. put your tin foil hat back on..

Man some people.. i deal with phones all day.. i dont need to own it.. to share the truth something you cant handle
[Nexus 6P General] kappadappa:
The issue in the memo is NOT that phones are spontaneously breaking. The issue is that customers are CLAIMING that phones are spontaneously breaking. That's a big difference.

This is not about the quality of the phones, or at least has not been proven to be about the quality of the phones. It's about dealing with customer service when handling unsubstantiated claims. I haven't seen any real evidence that phones are spontaneously breaking. And, having accidentally dropped mine twice before the case arrived, I can attest that the 6P is extremely durable.

Tin foil hats tend to be for people who believe things with no evidence, not for skeptics. So I think you may be confused.
[Nexus 6P General] tkoreaper:
It's weird... Today I finally got to open my package and get to use the Nexus 6P. I immediately inspected it for a bend near the power button and there was nothing there. I then proceeded to start the process of putting my tempered glass screen protector on and I noticed what I thought was a scratch on the screen. I wiped it with a microfiber cloth and it wasn't going away so I immediately thought it was a scratch. All of a sudden it disappeared... It looked and even felt like a scratch. It was the weirdest thing.
[Nexus 6P General] habs101:
Maybe you failed to read what the memo states.

which it clearly states that our wireless carrier and the manufacture Huaweii know of these claims are trying to resolve them. Thus they are fully away they are breaking out of the blue or spontaneously breaking.

No carrier of manufacture would replace a "shattered display" without some underlying knowledge. Been in this industry way to long, and this is the first time we have been advised to accept the returns and proceed with an exchange or send it out to Huaweii.

For this advisory to go out, this means that the issue is very real indeed. If it weren't, we would be handling claims and complaints differently.
[Nexus 6P General] kappadappa:
Nope. I read it. Here is the text retyped, with the relevant points capitalized and in quotation marks.

***

Description:

"SOME" customers who have purchased a Huawei Nexus 6P "HAVE REPORTED" that the rear glass panel has cracked spontaneously.

Points to mention to the customer

* We are aware that a small portion of Huawei Nexus 6P customers "MAY" be experiencing this issue.

* We're currently working with Huawei to determine the root cause "OF THESE CLAIMS".

* "FOR NOW" we can offer to exchange or fix your device. We should have more information after "INVESTIGATIONS" are complete. Stay tuned for more updates.

**"

This does not confirm an actual problem with the phone. It confirms "reports" which must be investigated, and for now they are acting on good will and repairing cracked phones. Makes sense for a brand new launch to not call customers liars or incompetent. Yet.

Again, this does not say "we are aware that this is a problem and we're investigating it". It says "we're aware of reports and we're investigating the cause of the claims". That cause could potentially be a manufacturing defect. It could also be negligence or outright fraud on the part of the customers.

I'm leaning towards the latter, but we'll see...
[Nexus 6P General] habs101:
If hypothetically it was fraud, why would they want the same device? and or the few tickets that were submitted customers were willing to send it out to huaweii ..

carriers are not in the business of goodwill, but indeed they are working on the cause, which like the nexus 4 that was made with glass and shattered , they had to add little plastic tabs.
[Nexus 6P General] kappadappa:
It seems obvious to me that if someone accidentally broke their brand new phone they might try dishonest means to get it replaced or repaired for free. So, of course fraudulent claimants could want the same device. They would just be more careful next time.

Whereas, if someone actually had a piece of equipment that really spontaneously broke, you can be assured that they would not want a replacement or repair, they would want a full refund and would never buy it again. If people are looking for replacement it just proves my point.
[Nexus 6P General] anglerstock:
Before you spesk and try to be the voice of Rogers, go back to elementary school because you fail at understanding basic 101 english. I am not sure how do your supervisors or customers understand you... When you are not able to understand 2 sentences. In fact your memo simply states that there are some people reporting this and that. Nowhere in the memo it says we acknowledge issues with this product and we will exchange affected products if customer walks in the store.

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------

Lol lucky Rogers for having employee like him! Dude fully understood the memo!
[Nexus 6P General] FuMMoD:
I agree if the device broke on me spontaneously then heck no I wouldn't want the same device again. I would be turned away from that device for good.
[Nexus 6P General] btort1:
With all these cheap phones and clones coming from china, we have yet see any reports of them spontaneously shattering, and all of a sudden the Huaweii Nexus 6P does? I smell bull**** or just retards who don't know their strength

[Nexus 6P General] KobrakaiMM:
What is up with this thread? People hating on each other because they can't believe something COULD be wrong with the precious phone they own. I'll be honest. I don't believe phones just break or bend. It could be however that a continuous force (that's applied in your pocket) bends some phones even in the slightest. Or maybe a high thermal difference (maybe because of the 810 SoC) can make hairline scratches crack. Glass panels can't be produced with the exact same size, so there always is an error margin. Glass panels that are just beneath the max of the error margin COULD be jammed in between the phone's frame with more force than normal. This could also work in conjunction with other factors to (more easily) break the screen.

I'm just speculating and thinking out loud, NOT spreading information as truth. I'm just thinking of possibilities that could contribute to the problems we are hearing about. I read loads of people saying "don't generalize". It could just be plausible that under certain circumstances some problems can occur without user error.

It would be nice if people kept an open mind. Also, just because you think or know that someone is wrong... That doesn't mean you need to be rude. Clean discussions should be what a community is all about. Keep it clean guys.

Vote KobrakaiMM for president.
[Nexus 6P General] dijonemon:
I disagree. If this happened to me I'd assume I just got a defective unit, and request a replacement. I can understand both decisions, and to my mind it doesn't point towards fraud.
[Nexus 6P General] xchasa:
We build a lot of frameless glass handrails using 10-12mm toughened glass panels.

A run consisting of 8 - 18 panels can have one or more panels spontaneously explode while we are not even near it as the day heats up. Then other days we can do a run of 30 or more and nothing....

Glass is very fragile. Defects happen.

Just because you've never had a glass screen shatter, doesn't mean it can't happen..
[Nexus 6P General] BenF1:
I've got a couple of scratches on mine, it's odd because I've never really had a scratched screen before and this is supposed to be gorilla glass 4.

I am absolutely in love with this phone, but it's disappointing that after a weeks use I have many surface scratches due to what I perceive to be poor build quality.
[Nexus 6P General] tkoreaper:
If you don't want a scratched screen, use a screen protector. These things aren't indestructible... fine grains of sand CAN and WILL scratch the screen.
[Nexus 6P General] Rickroller:
Just to point this out, but the memo that was posted addresses the complaint of possible REAR glass back panels cracking. Nowhere does it mention the front glass as the OP seems to be claiming they are "aware" of. I've now had my phone for almost 2 weeks, with no screen protectors nor cases, as I'm still waiting on said items being shipped. During this time, the phone has been in and out of my front pocket dozens of times a day, and I have (perhaps miraculously) yet to see a scratch, nick, scuff, or bend on this apparently fragile phone yet. Go figure eh..
[Nexus 6P General] habs101:
good video about the back of the phone.. the camera glass that is

[Nexus 6P General] MarkGbe:
This device was just not engineered to be durable, it was clearly overlooked

.The device is too beautiful to put in an ugly case or behind screen protectors, and it's too fragile to not put a case and screen protector on it. My device had a very innocent incident where a glass pepper shaker fell on it from only about a foot and rendered the digitizer/lcd useless. Huawei has no repair program, so for accidental damage you are screwed without an extended warranty. As a very cautious user, i do not buy extended warranties. I've only broken one phone in the past 10 years, a Moto X and, Motorola's repair program got me a new devices in less then 5 business days for a fair rate.

TLDR.. Nexus 6p, beautiful, too fragile, company sucks for customer support.
[Nexus 6P General] ManMOuntain:
To me, that's nonsense. It's simply common sense to put a screen protector on your screen to protect it from scratching. Correctly applied, it does not reduce the beauty of the display.

Equally so, why wouldn't a sensible individual put a device in a slim protective case? My transparent case does not make the 6p ugly, quite the contrary, it not only adds drop resistance but adds grip to the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] MarkGbe:
I've tried all screen protectors, and none of them look good. The tempered glass ones are the closest but still creates a raised edge.

And as for cases, we'll it's the same reason i don't put a rubberized shell on my car paint.

To each his own of course. Like i mentioned above, my real gripe is the lack of a repair program.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Chris_Lewis:
Hi Guys,

I'm looking to buy one of the android tv boxes to run as a mythtv kodi frontend in the bedroom.

One of my main priorities was something that had an active developer community and decent roms were available for it. Having looked, it seems most boxes do not even have oem roms available for them as far as i can tell.

I had basically decided on one of the s812 based boxes as they seem to offer 4k and H265 which whilst not important now, may be in the future.

So can anyone recommend a box to me?

TIA Chris

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombaht:
Ok,

Was installing the viper rom on my M8, and for some reason, now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. Obviously the install went pear shaped. But now I cant even boot the phone into recovery mode.

Boot sequence now is: Google lettering appears on screen, followed by green android with the blue spinning shape in its chest, then the green android with the red triangle and black exclamation mark appears and the whole thing loops again.

When plugged into the PC its not recognized so I cant use adb to boot into recovery or try load another rom/wipe cache etc.

I've tried all combinations of power button & volume up/down to break the boot sequence, no joy.

Any ideas how to resolve, or do I have a very expensive paper-weight?

Cheers,

sombaht
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Rest assured, if the screen comes on, the phone isn't bricked.

Red triangle with exclamation point is stock recovery.

What was your exact sequence, in detail? From bootloader unlock, install custom recovery, etc.

Was the phone on Lollipop when you unlocked the bootloader?

To reboot into

bootloader

(not recovery,

there is no button sequence

to boot directly into recovery on this device):

1) Hold power and vol up for several seconds to force a reboot

2) The

moment

the screen goes black to reboot, let go of the buttons, and

only

hold vol down

3) Don't let go of vol down until you are on the bootloader screen

4) Failure to get into bootloader is virtually always user error. You either started pressing vol down too late, or let go of it too early. Just repeat until you get it right.

But from there, as mentioned it sounds like you are on stock recovery. You will probably need to flash TWRP again via fastboot in order to do much more.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WodanGrimnar:
Did you flash a custom recovery before you flashed the rom?? Can you boot in the bootloader mode (turn of Device completely- turn on again and hold volume down all the time.. then you should be in the bootloader)?

And your phone is not really bricked

Edit: damn to slow :D should not write on the phone
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurosenpao:
My friend, did you flash it using stock recovery or custom recovery? if you did flash it using stock recovery you will meet this kind of problems. I suggest you try power button and down if im not mistaken and go to hboot and fastboot usb and connect to adb, type fastboot devices in cmd if it detects your device then you can flash TWRP , find any kind of custom rom for M8 and flash it. I also assume your bootloader is unlocked and driver is installed in your PC.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombaht:
Problem solved. Redpoint73's key press combination worked! :)

Greetings,I got that tablet today. It was previously used by some other guy very rarely for just around a month . He never dropped it and was always in it's leather case when not in use. He described to me that one part of screen in upper part is not working. I checked it and found out that there is a row in in the upper part of the screen,about 2 cm in height stretching to both ends(looks something like this,on image are two lines,i have just one that is not working http://i.stack.imgur.com/2QrJS.png ),is not responding but then above and under it all touch areas works fine again.I also noticed that it is somewhat working when I swipe fast on it,but if I tap or swipe normally,it is not working.On tablet is stock Android 4.1.1.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] AKW:
More info please. Are you rooted? Do you have a custom ROM or kernel? Please tell us what your exact set up is so we can help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] fabioplata:
Yes, the phone was rooted, I had the stock rom (the last one before DOI1) and the unikernel V8, I decided update using smartflash, i dont have problems in the update, but when i put the simcard, the signal its very bad, with other phone the signal its good. the problem its with 3,5 G and LTE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] AKW:
Hm. If you're rooted, I assume you know how to use ODIN, correct? Also, since you've got a custom kernel, I also assume KNOX is tripped, correct. Making both of those assumptions, I recommend you download the DOI1 firmware from Sammobile or XDA and flash it using ODIN. I may be wrong, but it sounds like you have a modem issue, and re-flashing stock should help.

I did, but nothing happened, I did all wipes but nothing. I think maybe I need wait for a new update.
