Ok come on guys this is a simple question. Are the animations when you click the widget weather option and going to the current conditions supposed to be animated or not?

I know HTC ditched the lock screen and home screen weather animation. Anyone home?
[Verizon LG G4] dman1049:
Anyone have an easier way then flashing a KDZ, Doing an OTA then rerooting the 13B?
[Verizon LG G4] csimo:
Not until someone comes up with a 13B KDZ.

-Joe
[Verizon LG G4] ED2O9:
I was rooted on 11A and used this method to upgrade to 13B:

1. Run the LG backup app that comes on the phone. It makes a full backup including apps and settings on your external SD card. Just make sure you have enough free space.

2. Install the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant - LG. It's also already on your phone and it installs automatically when you connect to a PC with the USB PC Connection set to Media Sync (MTP).

3. Once the phone is connected and the Assistant is running, select Repair Assistant. During the repair, it will ask if you want to back-up your data to the PC. I skipped this because I already ran the LG Back-up.

4. When it's done, it will restart your phone with the unrooted factory settings. After I went through all the standard set-up stuff, I ran the LG Back-up restore and restarted the phone.

5. Check to see if a system update is available. In my case, it took a couple hours for the system update notification to pop-up, but once it did, the 13B update ran perfectly.

The only thing missing on my phone right now is root, but I'm perfectly happy to run stock until the Marshmallow update arrives. Then I can run a standard update and deal with root after that.

I hope this helps.
[Verizon LG G4] hschreibz7:
Thanks for the advice. I also was wondering the easiest way. Just an FYI for me, the assistant did take me back to stock. But looks like it didn't factory reset my device like it said it would. So I can't update software since I froze that when I was rooted. Guess I need to factory reset myself??
[Verizon LG G4] dman1049:
I appreciate the help fellers
[Verizon LG G4] Divine Toaster:
Is there a way to download that program online, it won't install it on my computer for some reason.
[Verizon LG G4] dman1049:
What program do you speak of?
[Nexus 9 Accessories] cardula:
Happy Black Friday everyone,

Just ordered the Nexus 9 16GB for $229 CAD from the Google Store. I literally missed the 32GB by seconds, sold out while I was placing my order.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] GetPatriotized:
Scored the White 16Gb. Glad I waited.

Was about to buy it last year, but the launch price and first wave problems ruined it for me. Then Rogers had for $370 for the 32GB LTE, almost bought it.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Jadefalkon:
I already have 5 tablets but could not resist having the trifecta, Nexus 6, 7 and now a 32gb Nexus 9. I also took advantage of the dbrand Black friday sale and have skins on the way.
[Nexus 5X General] AJZ12:
The Nexus 5X is $80 off on the Google Store for Black Friday. Starting at $299.99

https://store.google.com/product/nexus_5x
[Nexus 5X General] fascinate:
Discount also available at Amazon and B&H (which doesn't charge tax unless living in NY)

This is what I get for buying the phone at launch! lol
[Nexus 5X General] AJZ12:
Haha. But the benefit is that you can get Nexus Protect on when you order from Google. I just got this for my girlfriend. I'm honored to bring her to the Nexus world. Right now, she's using my old 2013 Moto X Dev that she inherited after she broke her screen and is loving the debloated version of 5.1 that I put on there. She is amazed at how well it runs compared to her 2013 Motomaker Moto X. Little does she know that it only gets better with Nexus devices!
[Nexus 5X General] wpbear:
Bh sold out but Amazon still has stock except blue 16gb. Bh accepting back orders at discounted price still.

Glad I waited. I was on the fence about just not getting at all, but for that discount can't pass it up.
[Nexus 5X General] neosnake991:
Hmm I'm glad I got mine from a shop that pays its taxes in the UK, just saying lol. Honestly though I don't care that I paid full price for the 5x its a good phone, really happy with it. Well apart from the charger dying.
[Nexus 5X General] Rektifying:
Nice! I just came here to post this and you beat me to it!

The Nexus 6 is $199 for 32GB and $259 for 64GB on Amazon. Going to sell out fast!

I'm my opinion, I would buy a 64GB Nexus 6 for $259 before I spent $350 on a 32GB 5X. Just saying...
[Nexus 5X General] Raistlin1:
I think B&H also has a $25 gc offer on the 32gb 5X.
[Nexus 5X General] wpbear:
Bh gift card free also with 16gb.
[Nexus 5X General] Restola:
BH also price matches within 30 days. I have an $80 refund coming!
[Nexus 5X General] [hfm]:
Wow. You're really taking yourself into being happy about it.

Sent from a 128th Legion Stormtrooper 6P
[Nexus 5X General] joeyl:
just ordered from B and H, white 32GB, shipping out on the 30th
[Nexus 5X General] neosnake991:
Haha I've had worse like the HTC one lol
[Nexus 5X General] felix168:
They must have sold out in like 5 mins because I have been on Amazon all morning and I missed it?!
[Nexus 5X General] jbrinkley:
omg! that is really unbelievable- the amazon deal I mean. I can't believe I didn't catch that. What a score for the ones that got one.
[Nexus 5X General] renatofontes:
Just ordered mine from B&H they have international shipping =)

I ordered a white one because it was the only 32gb one they still had (they are sold out now though)
[Nexus 5X General] Rektifying:
You should read the fine print. I doubt they will price match a black Friday sale.

But good luck with that!

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

lol agreed. I don't care what anyone says! It sucks when you pay full price for something, and then a big sale hits not that long after. That's life I guess though.

I bought 10 x 64GB Cloud White Nexus 6s though. I couldn't resist at $249.00 each. The $80 discount wasn't enough to risk on buying a bunch of 5Xs...

Luckily I ended up returning my 5X and staying with the Nexus 6, which I will be returning as well now. HaHa.
[Nexus 5X General] Restola:
BH already processed the refund.
[Nexus 5X General] Rektifying:
Damn nice one man! Most places won't reverse price match black Friday sales, flash sales, etc. You got lucky!
[Nexus 5X General] Skitals:
Was considering RMAing my 5x for a VERY pink screen (compared to my gfs 5x, which was already VERY warm). Ordered from b&h and will return my Google order. $350 shipped versus $450, plus a $25 gift card. No brainer if your in your return window.
[Nexus 5X General] spc_hicks09:
Got mine from the Play Store. Grabbed the black 16gb for $299. Should be here between the 3rd and the 7th.
[Nexus 5X General] mikeosu:
Was thinking of going 6P but the extra discount makes the 5x more compelling. Plus I don't feel as compelled to get protect for the 5x.

Wonder if amazon will restock 32GB for cyber Monday? I see GP extended return period to Jan 22nd which makes for a nice period to test it. Does anyone know how long Amazon lets you return a phone?
[Nexus 5X General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
best buy just restock the 32gb. all day it says unavailable. I just placed an order. Great gift.. meant to get my mom this phone or the s6.. but at this price, i couldn't pass..
[Nexus 5X General] toothbrush69:
i bought one from amazon last 23rd. can i still get a refund??
[Nexus 5X General] mikeosu:
Good call! Wish they had more than 14 day returns on phones...
[Nexus 5X General] js0uth:
Couldnt resist. Getting my 5x from amazon...
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
New 5x purchasers, you are in for a treat! Welcome to the 5x forums all new comers.
[Nexus 5X General] mario24601:
I know this might not be right forum

I've only had Nexus phones and current moto X 2013 so don't have experience with non vanilla Android. Does one plus provide frequent updates to os? Is the whole oxygen pretty stable or should I expect lots of bugs? Can't decide on the one X or 5x. Anyone have recommendations? Thanks
[Nexus 5X General] mohammadsp:
Google store, Amazon, B&H, ... . which one is a better option to buy it? Specifically in terms of return policy?
[Nexus 5X General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
Google store my guess. I think they have 30day return? Or till late jan I think? But some people have best buy credit. If you buy $199+ you can pay off in 6 months no interest. I know some people like doing that.
[Nexus 5X General] davey11:
Ordered a 32gig white from bh. $349 no tax. Good chit!

6p ?
[Nexus 5X General] mohammadsp:
It is nice that they don't charge you for the tax! It seems that they have a 30-day return policy. Is it easy to return a phone to them or it would be a pain to actually return it?
[Nexus 5X General] mikeosu:
Google extended til Jan 22 for returns which is worth it IMO because I'm not sure I'll keep it. But for $350 I'm willing to concede a few things I like about the 6P haha. Plus I really want this smaller size to be good enough.
[Nexus 5X General] davey11:
I hope I never have to answer that question. I think they are a pretty reputable company, so I hope if I ever had to return, they be cool.

6p ?
[Nexus 5X General] Samip430:
Really want to pull the trigger but scared about the battery life :(. I have a Nexus 5 right now but the battery life is so bad I'm using a $10 Moto E. Easily getting 3 times the screen on time with it. Any idea what I can expected with the 5X?
[Nexus 5X General] mikeosu:
Is it possible to find out if amazon will restock the 32GB by Monday? 10% back on my chase card is actually some significant if I could grab it on Amazon.....
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Battery life is a big improvement over the N5. Check out Anandtech's take on the subject as well as GSMarena's analysis for more information.

It also full charges in about 1.5 hours, or can recharge 50% in about 30 minutes. I've been charging 30 mins once each morning all this week and haven't dropped below 25%.

From 100% to 0% typically gets me 4-5 hours SoT over 2 days.
[Nexus 5X General] Restola:
B&H extended their return policy to the end of Jan
[Nexus 5X General] Samip430:
I heard from even from this forum that battery isn't a huge step up from the N5
[Nexus 5X General] spc_hicks09:
From what I've read the battery life differs from person to person and depends on various settings. One of the main things I took from these forums is to keep the brightness below 50%. Then again some people have kept it cranked up and still got close to 5 hours SOT.
[Nexus 5X General] Samip430:
Man I want to pull the trigger so bad, seems like B&H return policy isn't the best though. 15% restocking fee if it is opened. And still very wary. I've been hearing a lot about performance issues and mediocre battery from this forum and over at /r/Nexus5X. I think the moto E may be the best phone for me until next spring or fall. As sad as that is...
[Nexus 5X General] qbanlinxx:
I've also been hesitant since hearing the same, but with Google extending the return policy. Worst case scenario I return it after the holidays and upgrade to the 6p.
[Nexus 5X General] spc_hicks09:
I don't even have this phone yet, and even though I've read all the stuff about battery life, I would STILL choose this phone over the Moto E.

1.) It's a Nexus.

2.) It's a new Nexus which means at least 2 years still of "official" support. Not to mention unofficial.

3.) Battery life doesn't have to be "bad." Take the money you're saving and buy an external battery, or buy a charging case.
[Nexus 5X General] Samip430:
I know. It is really hard to argue with a phone that is $300 but honestly I am fed up with my N5 battery life even after changing the battery. I charge is 2-3 times a day even when I am on WiFi. I have multiple battery banks and a 3100 mAh charging case but even that will die within a day of use (3-4 SoT maybe). I picked up the Moto E yesterday for $10 and I got 6 hrs SoT including the initial setup. Believe me I love Nexus and the support that comes along with it but battery life is the absolute #1 feature for me. Can't wait for the SD820 to start showing up in phones and the performance and battery that comes along with it. If the 5X had even a few hundred mAh more I would have bought it hours ago hahaha.
[Nexus 5X General] mikeosu:
That's what I'm probably doing. Quite a nice testing period.
[Nexus 5X General] basotl:
I purchased my 5X from Google yesterday. I've had good experiences with Google Store support in the past, so that's normally my first choice for a Nexus device. I'm excited about the camera, I've seen some good pictures come out of it compared to the 5 posted on Google+. The only thing I will miss will be the wireless charging.
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
People come to forums looking to fix their issues so it skews perception. Most are getting good battery life but don't feel the need to declare it. The reviews I posted earlier all show the 5x competing in battery life with devices using 3000mAh batteries.

That being said not much can compete with a Moto G or Moto E in battery life because those are low end phones that barely use power. 5x needs to be compared to other high performance devices.

Here's another example from the Android Police review.
[Nexus 5X General] spc_hicks09:
Well my 5X finally shipped! Hopefully it will get here in a few days. Anyone know the typical wait time? It's shipping from CA to where I live in OH. I would guess maybe 2 or 3 days via FedEx?
[Nexus 5X General] lsuzu:
Best Buy has the 5x on sale as well through tomorrow for Cyber Monday. Just placed an order on their website for Quartz 32GB, will arrive for store pickup on Dec. 5. The only combo sold out is 32GB Blue.
[Nexus 5X General] Rektifying:
I had a 5X but I ended up returning it in favor for a 64GB Cloud White Nexus 6. I was just to use to the Nexus 6's 5.96" AMOLED Display and dual stereo speakers.

I did use the 5X for two straight days. I didn't notice bad battery life on it, as it lasted me a full day each day. I was on it a lot to. I loved the fingerprint sensor and the camera though. The USB C was pretty cool to. My only issue was the display felt tiny, only because I was so accustomed to the 6. I wanted to want it more than the 6 due to newer tech and such, but I realized I was lying to myself and returned it. I don't know why, but I really don't like the 6P, so I'm going to roll with my 6 until next year and see what Google comes up with. To be honest, I really wanted to dodge the 808 / 810 anyways. My 6 felt loads faster than the 5X.

I'm not knocking the 5X though! I really did like it. I almost kept it anyways, but having two phones would be a waste IMO.
[Nexus 5X General] mohammadsp:
B&H says Back-ordered for white Nexus 5x. Does it mean that they will have it available by the end of this sale which is tomorrow night?
[Nexus 5X General] mikeosu:
I would go best buy, but kinda iffy on their cell phone return policy.
[Nexus 5X General] mario24601:
Was deciding between 5x and one plus x, ordered 5x today and has already shipped! Can't wait to try it. Hope I don't miss amoled, coming from moto X 2013.
[Nexus 5X General] AJZ12:
That's the same transition my girlfriend is making when her 5x arrives tomorrow. I doubt she'll even notice though. Haha. She's using my old 2013 Moto X and the screen has some burn-in that is uneven because I set the navigation bar and notifications bar to be pure black so those pixels were never on. I regretted doing that once it became noticeable. Let me know how it is.
[Nexus 5X General] qbanlinxx:
You are quite lucky. I ordered mine Saturday afternoon, transaction shows pending in my bank but through Google still says processing. Hopefully it will ship out today
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
I ordered Friday midmorning and mine will be here today. I guess it's probably because I'm only a 5 hour drive from California.
[Nexus 5X General] Rektifying:
Do yourself a favor and order it through BH Photo. Same sale price, no sales tax! They are technically out of stock but still let you order. Just says 2-3 days until they arrive.

I guess if you live in the state they are in you may have to pay sales tax though...
[Nexus 5X General] CollinFX45:
I agree, B&H is awesome and that's where I ordered mine.

I don't know if anyone here has ever returned a phone to Google before, but the last two times I have, it took literally a month to get the refund. Maybe one was three weeks, but the other was definitely nearing 30 days. That alone made me go with B&H with Amazon a close second even if they charged tax.

-Collin-
[Nexus 5X General] Smac7:
Those of you who ordered from B&H has yours shipped yet? I ordered on Friday and according to the site it has not yet shipped. At the time of the order they said it would ship out today.
[Nexus 5X General] hafizimtiaz:
I also ordered from B&H, on Saturday. The confirmation email said that estimated arrival time is Dec 01. But it still shows no sign of shipping :(

This is my first time doing business with B&H, anyone have any idea about their shipping?
[Nexus 5X General] CollinFX45:
Odd, I ordered Friday morning and got a shipping email from B&H yesterday (Sunday). It's in UPS' hands now and will be delivered Thursday via UPS 3-day.

-Collin-
[Nexus 5X General] indianajonze:
they are orthodox jews and are closed from sunset on friday through sunset on saturday. the site is essentially an automated system just there to take orders. they're processed when they open again, which are sundays, but obviously can't ship then. good group of guys, very upstanding. i'm sure you'll get shipping notification shortly
[Nexus 5X General] timedroid:
Ordered early Friday (1 AM or so), just got it today. Free shipping, NY to Michigan.
[Nexus 5X General] Smac7:
I'm guessing you ordered a little bit earlier than I did because the listing warned me it wouldn't ship out until today (the 30th). I might be a little more upset/concerned if you ordered in the same batch as me it your was shipped but mine wasn't. Hopefully they ship it out in the morning. I emailed a few hours ago so i'll post back if i find anything out.
[Nexus 5X General] justafatboy:
Anyone ordered more than one nexus 5x from b&h? I ordered 2 on black Friday but only a $25 gift card is shipped with my package.
[Nexus 5X General] Smac7:
I talked to B&H today over the phone. He said they got backed up and they are trying to have all the 5x orders out today.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
They must have gotten better because I received my credit within 2 or 3 days of shipping it back to them. I actually thought it would take a week or so, but was pleasantly surprised.
[Nexus 5X General] CollinFX45:
That's good to know, thanks!

FWIW, my UPS 3-day was "upgrdaed" and will now be here tomorrow instead of Thursday. Ordered Friday the 27th at 7:37am Pacific.

[Nexus 5X General] lanternca:
Hi. I purchased my 5X less than two weeks ago from Google directly. I saw the Black Friday sale and immediately called them up for a price adjustment (basically give me the $80 credit - I would have even taken Play Store Credit). They said they can't price adjust and I could only return the phone I got (since I was still in the return period) and order a new one. Which is what I did. Does anyone else find it odd they wouldn't just do a price adjustment? Now, Google is worse off (paid shipping both ways and ended up with a used phone).
[Nexus 5X General] CollinFX45:
When companies do this, it always puzzles me. They'll get a "used" phone back into their stock, rather than just make a price adjustment. Maybe they do it to deter you from actually returning the other one due to a hassle? I'd do the same thing. It would be better for everyone if they just did a price adjustment. Sorry you had to go through that trouble!

-Collin-
[Nexus 5X General] lanternca:
It just baffles me too. Cause they're also paying the shipping both ways! Luckily, I set up the phone with Nova (which I don't normally use), so I can just restore my homepages.
[Nexus 5X General] mario24601:
Mine arrived today, not bad ordered Sunday arrived Tuesday :)

First impression, its bigger than thought it would be but coming for 2013 moto x makes sense. Build quality seems OK. A bit slipery too. Well I'll give it a few days to see if I get used to it.
[Nexus 5X General] renatofontes:
bhphotovideo just marked my item as shipped :D

Hope it arrives soon, I live in Mexico so it could take a while
[Nexus 5X General] Alaris:
Does anyone's vibration motor make an almost beeping noise?
[Nexus 5X General] hafizimtiaz:
I called them up. They said that the item was shipped on Dec 01, instead of arriving on Dec 01. They apologized for the delay and said that it will arrive Dec 02. Fingers crossed.
[Nexus 5X General] revamper:
I ordered from BH on Friday 11/27 and mine still hasn't been marked as shipped... :(
[Nexus 5X General] hafizimtiaz:
I am doubtful that they are shipping in the same sequence as they received the orders.
[Nexus 5X General] mario24601:
Yes it's very high pitch.
[Nexus 5X General] icevapor:
I didn't see this mentioned, but most credit cards provide a 90 day price protection service. They are going to give me back the difference since the price was lower after I bought :).
[Nexus 5X General] hokee:
90 day price protection FTW!
[Nexus 5X General] spc_hicks09:
Ordered mine Saturday from the Play Store and it will be here tomorrow. Already bought a Type C to USB3.0 adapter (which angered me). Just watching for the FedEx guy now.
[Nexus 5X General] Skitals:
I'm sure it's still cheaper to eat the cost for customers willing to go through all that, versus giving EVERYONE who ordered in the last 2 weeks an $80 refund.

Still waiting for my B&H order from 11/27 to ship so I can initiate my Google Store return :mad:
[Nexus 5X General] CollinFX45:
Good point.

Mine arrived two days early for some reason (last night). Had no idea what the UPS man was doing. Weird - it shipped Sunday and arrived Tuesday via 3-day. I'm sorry about yours taking so long :(
[Nexus 5X General] mikeosu:
Ordered mine early Monday morning from Google play and received it this afternoon. Impressive!
[Nexus 5X General] renatofontes:
My phone arrived at my city today, sadly it still at customs hope it goes through soon =P
[Nexus 5X General] NPuter:
Anyone else who ordered from B&H get an email about the $25 gift card being backordered? Seems like a weird thing to be backordered. Just received my 5X today sans the gift card.
[Nexus 5X General] Danariel:
I ordered mine (2) in the wee small hours of Monday morning, and they aren't even showing as shipped - still processing. I made the mistake of ordering the phones first, then later in the day "accepting" our Fi invites. The sim cards will be here Friday, but since the phones still haven't shipped, it'll be next week on them. I would have loved to spend all weekend rooting and setting them up before my husband goes back to work with his on Monday, but I guess I'll have to do it while he sleeps next week.
[Nexus 5X General] hafizimtiaz:
I got the device and the gift card in the same package yesterday.
[Nexus 5X General] CollinFX45:
Same for me. Very odd that a gift card would be backordered.
[Nexus 5X General] NPuter:
Going to give them a call tomorrow
[Nexus 5X General] spc_hicks09:
Well my 5X is going back. This is by far the worst battery life I've ever experienced. Ordered the 6P.
[Nexus 5X General] Rektifying:
This is a big part of why I sent mine back. I had my doubts ordering it in the first place. I used it for 5 days and no go. I'm sticking with my 64GB Cloud White Nexus 6. I get way better battery life on my 6 than I did my 5X. I'm running Pure Nexus on it though.

I knew I should of dodged the 808 in general. From what I have seen, the 808 and 810 is pretty trash. The 805 is tried and true. I love it. I will see what google has on offer next year.
