I was going to grab a 6P at first but ended up finding a 32GB 6 on Craigslist BNIB for $250. The 6 with the 805 SoC & 3GB of RAM still has a whole lot more of life left in it.
[Nexus 6  General] Rektifying:
I agree with you big time on the 805 paired with 3GB of RAM. The 805 is a beast! The 808 and 810 were disappointments. I chose to dodge both of those SoC's in general! The whole littleBIG SoC was such a fail for Qualcomm. There is a reason that Qualcomm went back to a straight Quad Core with the 820.

I love the 6 so much that I ended up buying a new 64GB Cloud White as my own personal "refresh" when Amazon had them on sale for $250. It was like getting a whole new phone! (My very first original 6 was a Midnight Blue) I actually bought 10 though... lol. I ended up getting rid of 8, my personal is number 9, and I am still sitting on one. I am thinking about just keeping it as a sealed back up. If I don't like next years Nexus 6X, I will stick with my 6 yet another year! This says a lot for me and how much I love the Moto Nexus 6, as I have gotten a new phone every year since flip phones! The 6 will be my first phone ever that I use for two years straight!
[Nexus 6  General] piscesjoey:
Damn when did Amazon have the 64GB for $250? Man I really missed out on that deal ?

There's a phone called Sharp Aquos or something to that extent. Pretty subpar phone but the way the phone has edge to edge screen is something that would be great for the nexus. I agree the bezels just add size with little value.
[Nexus 6  General] MarkGbe:
I've also back from a 6P. In my case it was because i broke my 6p, and Huawei has no repair program so i just had to sell it on ebay.

I do enjoy the wireless charging again and the performance difference is negligible. Also i MUCH prefer Motorola as a manufacturer, especially now with my recent discovery of their sub par customer support. Next year i will hope for a premium Moto nexus, or a HTC, Sony, LG.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
Motorola has a pay $175 to replace a cracked screen and put a deposit in the meantime if you want and they sent out a replacement phone immediately. I wasn't sure about Huawei as mfg. myself which also made avoiding the Nexus 6p easy for me. I hope Google doesn't do that again and just sticks with Moto, HTC, LG, or Samsung.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
I insured my phone on my home owners insurance for theft, loss and breakage, isn`t that possible in the US?
[Nexus 6  General] MarkGbe:
yep, love Moto. Did that for my Moto X many years ago, excellent service.

For whatever reason, i decided to just assume Huawei would have comparable support to LG, Moto, Samsung, HTC... but i was wrong, and my wallet felt it hard unfortunately.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
Not that I am aware of. Typically insurance for smartphones are done via 3rd parties depending on where you get the phone. Carrier companies like Sprint, Verizon, etc offer extended insurance beyond what the manufacturer covers however there is typically a monthly premium and deductible which (in my opinion) is pointless to buy. I've never bought insurance on a smartphone b/c of how it works:

-"monthly" premiums of $15-20/month.

-"$100-$150 deductible"

The mfg. covers 1 year although this is just for defects, but in general most people typically break their phone within a 1 yr time frame.

1yr= $180-$240 in premiums + $100-$150 deductible= $280-$390 for a new replacement phone.

Granted $280-$390 is still cheaper than probably the $600+ you paid for the new phone...........assuming you "have" to have the newest phone.

but for me.....$280-$390, I'll buy instead a Nexus 5 or even Nexus 6 and save my money and take the risk. I don't mind having an older model. I rarely drop my phone, and I take very very good care of my phones.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
I pay like 1,80 euro`s a month extra for insuring my phone, laptop or tablet when i`am outside my house with my stuff. No deductables or other costs.
[Nexus 6  General] snapcrackpop:
Wells Fargo Credit card has protection. Pay your phone bill automatically with it & you have up to $600 for damage or theft.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
If the replacement was just straight premium that may make more sense, and your situation I would definitely do that. This is off Verizon's website:

Total Equipment Coverage combines the benefits of:

Asurion's Wireless Phone Protection

Verizon Wireless Extended Warranty

If your device or covered accessories are lost, stolen or damaged, or your device experiences a mechanical or electrical defect after the manufacturer's warranty expires, you're protected.

Smartphones

$9/month per covered device

$99-$199 non-refundable deductible per approved claim for devices lost, stolen, or damaged

Two replacements in a 12-month period with an equipment maximum of $1500 per claim

Asurion may fulfill claims with new or refurbished equipment. In general, claims are fulfilled with the same make and model you claim. If this isn't possible, a like-kind make and model will be substituted. Color, feature and accessory compatibility are not guaranteed. You may cancel your coverage at any time and receive a pro-rated refund of your unused premium.

For detailed pricing information for a specific device, visit Asurion's website or call Asurion at (888) 881-2622.

If you break your phone after one year you are still looking at $208-$307 to replace the phone. Even with that cost, I'll still take the risk. There's a possibility I may not break the phone and I'll save money. If I do, the cost of a prior Nexus model will still fall within that range, so IMO I'll take the risk. Plus for the cost I'd rather go out and get the phone on my own rather than have a refurbished one.

If it were straight premium like in your case then it would only be $108 which for that amount that's worthwhile.
[Nexus 6  General] peekie:
The base price might be near the same price at launch of the phones but iphones start with a useless 16gb androids start at 32gb double the storage and if you go for the plus model is over €100 more than any samsung flagship , also you get a 2 year warrenty in europe on all phones except apple who give a year as long as you get the bill from your second hand phone then you can get it fixed as well , back on topic i bought my nexus 6 over the 6p as i prefered the screen size and looks as well , now the 6 has dropped down in price its a no brainer

[Nexus 6  General] Fuse8499:
This normally would have been a difficult decision for me. VZW wanted $650 for the 32gb Midnight Blue version. LOL. No way I was paying that. But found the 64gb Cloud White version on Amazon for $400 and couldn't pass it up. I wish the decision was this easy every year.

Bad Call Quality

I was\am a N6 owner since Oct 2014 and I late bought a 6P Nov 2015. What killed it for me was the call quality and was widely posted where most people sound muffled just bad. Seems it was not all user but a small few. I do over 2500 minutes calls per month that I needed clarity like the N6. I called Google and they sent me a new 6P without any questions and out the box the same issue confirmed by other callers. When I swapped sims back to my old N6 it was perfect!

I adored the fingerprint reader and the phone was great on Pure Nexus rom. This is the only thing I miss now. However the N6 on PN rom and EX kernel seems to be as snappy as the 6P so not missing anything thx to Beans!

I think Google and Huawei are aware call quality issues but dont think it will be fixed until they build next Nexus by someone else.
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
For me it was simple, the 6P cost about twice as much as the N6. So the choice was very easy and i bought a new N6.
[Nexus 6  General] iamkoza:
made the same decision, loved my n5 but wanted a phone w/bigger screen. my decision early last month was N6 for $250 or N6p for $500... i dont care about wireless charging but a better camera and fingerprint scanner was not enough to entice me to spend twice as much on my phone.
[Nexus 6  General] flaring afro:
I went with the Nexus 6 because of screen size. That seems to be the largest real world difference, besides the fingerprint scanner and wireless charging if you care about that, which I don't too much.

If you really had to get the newest, then there wouldn't be much of a point in a Nexus. It's not like there really are that many updates within a year.
[Nexus 6  General] purokogi:
I got rid of my nexus 6p and picked up a like new nexus 6 for $200. Great deal on a good phone. I had this phone last year when I bought it for $400 but felt like it was too big for me. Since then I've gone through several 5.7" phones and have learned of its greatness. Love this phone... and I dont have to worry about it bending/twisting like my 6p.
[Nexus 6  General] juggaknot77:
I recently did the same. I had the 32gb 6p for 3 months and I just couldn't get used to the phone, I've had the Nexus 6 before since launch. So ended up trading the 6p and going back to a 32gb white Nexus 6 plus and $200 from there end. I love this phone!

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibrahim elhossiny:
Hello..

I have htc desire 816 with 8gb of internal storage ....when i bought it,it had about 4gb free of that storage.....which is quite normal.

After buying it, I updated to lollipop 5.1 then i got it rooted......

Lately i've noticed the insufficient internal sotrage,so I've uninsalled ALL the apps and games from internal and external memory,however,that only freed up about 2 gb of the intrrnal storage ....so what is taking all that space despite there is No apps ....I know that the system files are taking some space....but those files only took 4gb when i bought the phone

Now i don't have any apps ,However, there is only free 1.8gb

I tried using clean master,but it only cleaned about 300mb of junks and cache
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antiph3d:
This is strictly a personal opinion but you should lose Clean Master and anything else made by Cheetah Mobile.

As for your storage issues... You state you've rooted. Have you done a backup? If so, are you sure your recovery is saving backups to the external storage?
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoctor:
Had the same issue. The firmware is in it's own partition with room for updates but some of those files fill up your internal storage as well, they did for me when I updated so the solutions are either use a root file explorer or Titanium Backup app to move some user apps to system apps , use the forum here in XDA for altering your SElinux permissions and enable write permissions to your system partition(WP.MOD_KO) so that you can use Link2SD app to move your user apps to your external SD card or pay to obtain full S off using the Sunshine app and have those permissions plus more enabled at the system level so that you can also use Link2SD app to move user apps to the external SD card.

The last 2 methods are the most used and also require you to reformat your external SD card into 2 partitions using EaseUS PARTITION MANAGER on a P.C. Instructions for doing this are easy and available on Youtube and Google if you want to read them instead. These are really the only ways to help your storage issue other than just not using very many apps. I chose the full S off method and Link2SD but the other works it just alters your SElinux permissions and has to be removed to do stock updates whereas S off doesn't affect stock updates. Only system file changes do like the mod I described.

I also echo the previous posters thoughts on Cleanmaster and most all "task killing" apps. Android has built in RAM management that does a good job on its own of managing memory and there is the on screen square button on the right that shows you open apps and tabs and allows you to quickly close them all out. You'd be better off regulating Wavelocks using Amplify app and Greenify to freeze apps from staying on . Root required and there are paid version but the basics are free in both apps.

I had a brain f**t and misread that you've uninstalled "all" of your apps so the previous poster might be onto something if you've done any TWRP nandroid backups to internal instead of micro storage. They can take up to 2 to 4 gbs just on their own even with compression enabled. If you haven't and even if you have my previous info and advice is still accurate for improved storage space.

On my phone, the .thumbnails folder in DCIM takes 1 GB...
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoctor:
Yeah mine says 550 mb total in thumb data but it is not pictures from my camera like the other few kbs are. Can't open it so I wonder if it's some sort of cache for something else. Don't know all the ins and outs of the Android file structure but I do know that when I started flashing custom roms,CM in particular, my internal storage went up due to the lack of bloatware coming from my stock Rom. Good to know this though. Not going to delete it though for now till I find out what it is.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TobiBot:
Some Facts About Thumbnails

Some Apps, like WhatsApp save pics in .thumbnails to work smooth, i think.

You can delete them, but they will create themselves at the next boot again, i also tried to write an init.d script which deletes them at boot, but it doesnt work.

Also if you create a file ".thumbnails" which isnt writable, the system doesnt give you the space :P

Ive read something about creating this file before first boot after flashing so it works, but i havent tried it...

Damn thumbnails :D

Sorry if my english is horrible ^^
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoctor:
Your English is perfectly fine. Better even than some to whom English is their "first" language. Thanks for that breakdown and I bet that's what it is. I forgot about the apps storing their stock images in your phone. I used to love using the app called Pocket until I found that it stores all the saved links and images directly on your phone. I saved almost a full gb by deleting it finally. Great app other than that and if I had a device with more storage I'd still have it on my phone instead of just my computer. This is all why it pays to be curious about your own phone storage and learn how to navigate a good root file explorer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c20h25n3o:
Hi all,

Ever since CM has been available for my devices, I have been using CM. Tried many other roms, but never really anything that I felt so comfortable with as CM.

Now that CM13 CAF has stopped development ( [MENTION=4152171]myfluxi[/MENTION], you magnificent bastard! You created a great ROM!) I will probably stay on this one for a while but at a certain point move on.

So I started to look into Cataclysm a bit. Any ex-CM users here that went to Cataclysm and never looked back? Or the other way around?

Why exactly?

Please keep it civil, no fanboys or flamewars.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trsix:
Why don't you try Cataclysm then make your own decision.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c20h25n3o:
Because of my banking application, every time I try a new ROM (thus factory reset), I have to go back to my bank outside of my office hours, wait in line for forever and have the app reactivated.

So am I a bit reluctant to just switch to see if I like it. Was hoping for some replies from people that switched from one to the other and never went back.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:
i rarely had any issues with Cataclysm. Very stable and smooth rom indeed. Dosent have theme engine though. I Also have been using Chroma and its been great for me. Many CM features inside it. I read somewher that CAFHammerhead will be still going. A different maintainer has stepped up

can you tell me more?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c20h25n3o:
Yes, but I'm not interested in other roms other than giving Cataclysm a try. So I'll leave that up to others.

Anything else to add to the topic, or just here to live up to your signature?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parag60288:
I would go for Cataclysm over CM13 as Cataclysm feels more stable & smooth compared to CM13.

CM13 sometimes feels unstable as it is in nightly stage.

Surely the opinion might change when CM13 Stable will be available.

Don't get me wrong.

But CM has its own advantages.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick80835:
I personally dislike CM because the performance has been worse thay it used to be, and idk why. I would prefer Cataclysm over CM and Chroma over Cataclysm, because the performance in Chroma is just great! I also use the elementalx kernel and limit my cpu to 2.0 ghz for battery. So Cataclysm is much more stable than CM, as CM has alot of problems with systemui right now, and with Cataclysm, you wont have an annoying 'Edit Tiles' button in your quick settings.

Why not use titanium backup option as I did? No problems in trying other ROMs
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c20h25n3o:
Tried it (went to Catcalysm and loved it!) but the backup didn't work.

It brings me to the login page, type my pin and it just doesn't respond. So for this banking app it didn't work, sadly enough
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddhu007:
Both the same?

I'm confused!Are these same?How's the battery backup?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c20h25n3o:
Battery life for me went from barely being able to get through a working day on CM13 to getting home with 40 or sometimes even 50%+ battery on Cataclysm with EX kernel.

So battery was a huge improvement for me, which is what I needed.

[Security Discussion] jlgarnier:
Hi all,

I'm currently investigating into a freshly developed application, from a security side. The app builds upon several libs and frameworks (i.e. Android Maps Utils 0.4 or Butterknife 7.0.1), so the first task I want to go through is to identify any weakness in those code pieces.

Is there any forum that would list security issues detected in common libs and frameworks used by developers? Tip: I'm not an Android developer... ;)

Thanks in advance for any clue!
[Security Discussion] h4oxer:
Not that I am aware off. You could try to search in the metasploit framework or google with "<libname> vulnerabilities exploits" etc. But that is only likely to have interesting results for native libraries (written in C, part of the Android system like Stagefright)

Your best shot is by starting RE the library code or if open source, search the repo for any information leaks to the filesystem (bad crypto, sensitive information in preference files, bad handling of Bundle objects for IPC etc.)
[Security Discussion] jlgarnier:
Many thanks H4oxer! I'll follow this track and try to gather information on the various libs...

I have a PIN on my phone. I have been using Tasker to unlock my phone when my bluetooth headset is connected, and it's worked well enough. I was wondering if there is a way to accomplish the same thing with my watch.

I am aware of SmartLock in Lollipop, but due to many issues with Lollipop on the Note 4, I am still running KitKat. I am able to accomplish the same thing with Tasker and my bluetooth headset because when it is on, it is connected. When I check my list of bluetooth devices on the phone, it just shows the watch as paired, not connected.

I'm guessing that it won't be possible without Lollipop, but thought that I'd ask anyway.

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S2] TyrantCAT:
I have a N910C rocking a Note 5 ported rom. Lollipop works like a charm there and Smart Lock is super useful. If you don't want to root your phone it's okay, since almost all of the models have already available the official update to Lollipop 5.1.1, which works worlds better than 5.0 and it still manages to be slightly better than 4.4.4 (at least that's what I think).

If you still don't want to update your phone, then I'm sorry, but I don't know any third app that has that functionality (don't fret though, I'm sure there must be at least one out there ;) ).

I am coming from a US Verizon Note 4, and it's a special case.

It cannot be rooted, because Verizon won't allow it. No exploit has ever been found. I would love to be able to root it, but it's not possible. When 5.01 came out, it caused major problems with the Note 4, with major battery drain and apps crashing all over the place. A lot of us were able to ODIN back to 4.4.4. 5.1.1 came out for my phone this week, but I'm understandably nervous about going to it. I'm waiting for more reports to come in regarding whether the battery and crashing issues have been fixed.

But I'm not able to play videos and songs directly from the hdd!!!!

I have to copy them to my phone first!!

I'm so confused , I thought it could be permissions issue , I checked with root explorer and es explorer the files got all the permissions!!!

I thought the directory could be unreadable by the video or audio player,but I tried to copy the directory and paste it in video stream ,it didn't work either!!

Any one have any idea?!
