[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gman88667733:
Probably the best way to go. The hassle of RMAing over and over is not worth it. I really wanted to like the phone..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
That's probably your best bet to be honest. The 6P is pretty much old news at this point in the mobile world and the new Nexus and other phones will be right around the corner and will be here sooner than you think.

And I'm not saying to always wait for something newer because you can do that forever. But I also went through three 6P's before I gave up. It just seems too risky to get involved in the rma game.

With that being said, the 6P is overall a good phone if you can get a good one. Good luck in your journey.
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
I think my phone is bricked, I rooted my phone with king root and then that only gave a temporary root, I flashed a custom ROM called carbon ROM, then it wasn't working so I did a full system wipe to go back to stock, but when I flashed the stock zip file and restarted, TWRP said no OS installed and rebooted anyway thinking if there was an error it would go back into recovery. But now my phone wont turn on at all, no recovery, no FTM, no adb and no lights, no vibration when holding the power key, my computer is the only thing that tells me that it is on or off. When I plug it in, I hear the noise that a device is connected but it cannot recognize the device and takes about 5 seconds to tell me that each time I connect it. Also when I unplug it, a sound is made showing it is disconnected.

Can anyone help?

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Bubbadel:
Hi all, my problem is, i have a t-mobile mda3, i bought a new 2gb micro sd card, sandisk. i wanted to put my copilot software onto the 2gb card, so i thought i would do it here at work on my mac, not a good idea as i have now found out, i cant use the card on my pc at home, it just keeps saying "do i want to format the card now" well i tried to format it but windows xp cant do it, cant remove blocks or volumes or something. What i have noticed is that the data/card is running 16 bit, my pc i think is 32 bit.

Is there a way i can get the card back to how it was when new

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers.....Del
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] cozzykim:
Hi,

the card format should be FAT16, you could try putting it in a digital camera and formatting it, or using Linux (which has utilities to format to virtually *anything*) or a decent Win partition manager utility.

Don't panic, it shouldn't turn out to be a major disaster.

HTH

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Twiggerdingo:
Or download pocket mechanic (there is also a trial version) and format it on your pda.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Bubbadel:
hi, thats what i meant FAT16, im never going to transfer anything from a Mac onto my cards again. But why wont my pc format it? I'll try a digicam, failing that i'll try downloading pocket mechanic as suggested by twiggerdingo.

Thanks both of you

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimesxda:
Hi

I just bought a refurbished tab 10.5 (sm t800 bronze/gold version). I read a lot of reviews praising the screen and saying it was one of the most accurate yet in terms of colour. When comparing photos and images next to my computer or old tablet (nook HD+) I notice that the colours don't look accurate to me though. The skin tones especially all shift towards purple slightly. A photo taken in golden sunlight looks more of a reddish colour than the yellow it should be and the grass looks more blue in tone than yellow.

I read that AMOLED screens had problems in the past with accuracy but all the reviews I've read said this solves that problem. But its noticeably off from what I can see. I've turned it onto basic colour mode turned the brightness down and it looks good but still just off. Thing is my whites look very white and blacks black, I cant see a purple cast over the screen, it just seems to be that certain colours aren't reproduced accurately.

I also notice that if I turn the screen off and look at my reflection in it, I can see there's a slightly purple colour to it, as opposed to if I look at my reflection in the nook HD, which makes me think maybe this has something to do with the screen coating?

Anyway, has anyone else noticed this and is it just how these screens are? Or should I be returning it? Going to try and see if I can find a tab 2 to compare it too in a store but would really appreciate if anyone else knows if this is normal or not.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jevgeje:
Can you please make screenshot or attach the photo you are viewing, and then make a photo with a decent camera of your screen.

Then we will be probably able to tell if it looks like on our tab s like on yours.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koimr:
Dumb question but is there a screen protector on it?

I ask because although I don't have a 10.5 (I have an 8.4) I don't see any purple colours at all either in the on-screen image or in my reflection.

Definitely do what [MENTION=7058819]jevgeje[/MENTION] said because then we'd be able to compare. :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimesxda:
Hmmm that's a good question about the screen protector. As far as I'm aware it hasn't, it certainly feels glassy and I can't see any airbubbles, not sure how id know for sure though.

I can take a photo if that might help others still, but I went to a store today and looked at it next to an s2 which is basically same screen and the purple tinge was obvious. The s2 was more yellow in the whites and more how I felt this tablet should look. Could clearly see mine was more purple next to it. Looking at the little yellow flower on the gallery app too, mine looked almost orange compared to the s2 which was clearly yellow.

So either all the tab s 10.5 are like this , (which I seriously doubt) or I've got a faulty screen. If it was a screen protector causing this that I could remove that would be great as its a shame to send this back and probably won't be able to afford an s2 most likely :(
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimesxda:
Here's some photos of the screen next to my Nook HD+. Can clearly see the purple tinge on it. Also how it looks turned off, reflection is green or purple depending on angle, I think thats normal on amoled though.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jevgeje:
Yep, it's there as you said. Mine has no discoloration like that. I assume the refurbishing didn't quite work?

Sent from my T800
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimesxda:
Guess so :(. I'll be interested to see what the seller says when they get back to me. Such a shame though because its a great tablet, annoying to have to send it back. I do think its stupid they put the mic on the bottom of the tablet though, very easy to cover it up if you are resting it on something and trying to Skype.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koimr:
Hmm.... I also see what you mean.

Assuming you are stock and this is the same as on the 8.4, look in Settings->Device->Display: See if any of the "Screen mode" settings make a difference as well as unchecking (or checking) "Auto adjust screen tone".
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimesxda:
Cheers, yeah i've tried all the settings, none of them look correct. I even tried changing the colours by deliberately choosing the wrong colours in the accessibility settings colour test, which i'd read about on here. That looked even more fake though lol. I think the screen just cannot reproduce those colours correctly for some reason. Maybe it was refurbished with a off brand screen or something, I did ask before I purchased if it was original screen and they said it was though, but who knows. Always gonna be a bit of a gamble buying refurbished really.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koimr:
Ah, I am out of ideas then. :(

Have you contacted the seller? Maybe they can exchange it for you.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tessorodesoto:
I purchased one brand new on eBay and was wondering whether it a playstore, T-Mobile, Verizon, or Sprint n6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I don't think it matters with the Nexus 6. I do believe the units sold through the carriers were unlocked.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
One way to tell if it was a carrier phone is to try and use an MSL unlock code. By default it should be all "0", however; if you bought it from a carrier like I did it will be an actual code.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedmateen:
I think carrier matters, although the phone is unlocked and you'll be able to use it on supported networks however you may potentially face issues in OTAs. Just my opinion because I am currently having some problems updating my unrooted & non modified N6, using it another region but not getting any updates.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltdownSpectre:
Carrier doesn't matter on Nexus devices except for the SPC/MSL code which is 000000 on unlocked devices.

I am also in Pakistan, there are tons of 'smuggled' XT1103's here, some with Verizon logos and some without. In fact, there are even some with T-Mobile SIM cards still inserted. Anyhow, once you flash a factory image with the new stock recovery, you should get OTA updates as any other Nexus 6.

During the Android 5.1 era, the Nexus 6 had specified builds for those on Project Fi or T-Mobile, in your thread I noticed you were running on LYZ28N which is the build used for T-Mobile ONLY as specified on the Factory Images page. You won't get an OTA unless you're in the USA with a T-Mobile SIM Card.

Flash the latest unified builds of Android 6.0.1, the latest being MMB29X for the Nexus 6, it includes the latest security patch (2nd Apr 2016).

Here's the link for it, it's approx 1GB.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StykerB:
AT&T models were sim-locked.

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

What ota the phone gets is determined by the installed sim card, AT&T blocked Marshmallow for a while, T-mo got some different Wi-fi calling builds, and verizon at one point had specific Vo-LTE builds.

Far as I know at this point with the monthly builds everything's consolidated.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedmateen:
So once I flash my N6 to MMB29X, I'll be getting OTAs like other N6 and wont have to flash/side load any update again?

Not necessarily.

However to confirm, check the first 2-3 digits of your IMEI.

If it's 99, then probably Sprint or Verizon, though the latter would have a logo on the back.

If it's 35 or 01, then it's either AT&T, T-Mobile or a Play Store model.

I have an app called VZWAPN on my phone and there's no way it can even be a Verizon device since it's a UK XT1100 Model.

My only concern is getting a subsidized device with an unpaid balance that could potentially be blacklisted if original owner decides to leave sprint, tmob, att or vrz withoit paying balance. Thanks for the replies.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you hadn't already purchased the phone off ebay, I would have told you to go to Swappa instead, as they don't permit the kind of shenanigans you find with ebay and Craigslist purchases, namely selling the phone while payments are still owed, not making any further payments, and leaving you with a phone that is blocked on the carrier.

Once you get the phone, go to Swappa and run its IMEI through their IMEI check tool. That should tell you if the IMEI is clean or not.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tessorodesoto:
Thanks for the suggestion. I ran a swappa check and it is clean. But this status may change, that is why the only safe option is the google playstore way. Have a great day!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I disagree with that sentiment. Swappa explicitly prohibits the scenario I describe. Should it happen Swappa will refund the money. Amazon is a perfectly viable option so long as you buy from Amazon and not a third party. Motorola themselves offered the device for sale on the Motorola website.

Point here is that while Google may be the safest route, there are other routes just as safe, if you do your homework.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazer77:
AT&T and Verizon both have their logos on the back of the phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes, but the google after service is much better than anywhere else. seriously, its not even close. not like you can buy a n6 through google anymore though :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Sure, but the OP's statement was that Google was the only safe method of getting the device, and that simply isn't true. In the case of the N6 I could have bought the device direct from Motorola, or direct from a carrier. I personally chose Amazon, because they had quantities of the device in their warehouse from Motorola when Motorola themselves didn't.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
to buy one, there's many "safe" places.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcallis:
I just purchased a N6 and tried to install a Project Fi SIM into the device. Every time, I load in the ROM of the day, it does not see the SIM. Looking at the IMEI, I can deduce that this is a former AT&T phone. Since this is an issue of SIM locked, can the SIM be unlocked even though the firmware has been changed and the original AT&T SIM is long gone?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes. but you will need either att's code or to purchase a sim unlock code for the device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcallis:
So in theory, I can go to my local AT&T store and since the phone is clean, they just give me a code? I am assuming that I just need to plug in the digits via the dialpad to unlock, correct?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if the phone iz paid off, yez. otherwise they will ask you to pay it out first.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcallis:
I went to the att unlock site and despite the fact that IMEI starts with a 35, according to the web site, that IMEI is not one of AT&Ts. So back square one to figure out what phone this and more importantly, how to unlock the SIM. Where does one go to purchase a SIM unlock code? I have seen ads, but wondered if they were reputable...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
only att adds a sim lock, to the att sold nexus 6. no other provider does it.

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

yoh might have to factory reset the device beforeputting in the Fi simcard before itll get recognized. and on which android version is it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcallis:
I have factory reset is several times, and each time it it does not recognize the SIM. I am currently using the latest PureNexus, but the folk at Project Fi gave me the path to factory reset using the stock firmware... I hope that it does not have to come to that!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
well, i know that fi works on pure nexus, as i have several friends on pure nexus and fi. after you put in your fi simcard, check that your apn is correct. if the apn is wrong, your network stuff wont work. but ive also read that fi hides your apn settings as well..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcallis:
I used Pure Nexus on my previous N6 and it ran like a champ. My issue currently is that after the Factory Reset, the SIM is not seen. I went to a Cricket store and used one of their SIMs and still the SIM was not recognized. The issue is really that I don't know any history about the phone (craiglist purchase). According to swappa ESN checker, the phone is not black listed, so I am perplexed. Even if there are issues with the APN, that should not make an issue of the SIM not being recognized. The problem is, I can't see what the APN issues are because the phone doesn't see a SIM, so no information about the APN is available.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
there could have been an issue with the sim card reader, as thats why the person probably sold it. issues with the sim card reader is fairly common on nexus devices.

You can easily root all of the firmwares now adays but unlocking bootloader will make the phone camera worse and you will lose some Sony features.

[LG Watch Urbane] liquidzoo:
Seems I'm late to the party here as this forum may not have a lot of regular posters (save for the development thread that got an immediate answer this morning, which was awesome!)

Does anyone wear their Urbane (or any other smart watch) on the inside of their wrist? I've always worn my watches like this, to the point where it feels weird if I wear it on top.

Not as concerned with waking it up when I turn my wrist (though that would be awesome if I could figure that out), just wondering if I'm alone. Did a Google search and I found a couple of reddit posts on the Moto 360 being worn this way, but that's it.

Am I in danger of things like the step counter not functioning right? Has anyone figured out how to get the wake gestures working when it's worn this way? If not, that's fine. I can tap with no problems, just curious more than anything.

Really liking this watch so far. Next up will be a new band, I'm sure (after I get done messing with the faces, that is).
