I didn't know about being allowed 2 incidents per year. I thought it was going to cost me the standard $149.00 when i started the claim with Asurion but when the subtotal was displayed near the end of the process it showed $49.00 and that is all my credit car was charged. Ill keep an eye on it for the next couple of days and see if I get charged for the extra $100. Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 6  General] christianpeso:
Yep, only two from what I read and understand. Under the "What's Covered" tab:

But that $50 is very interesting. Please let us know if something changes.

I've been watching my email and my credit card charges. I'm interested to see if I get charged the other $100. Just check my tracking number and my new Nexus is on the UPS truck as of 5:05am In Mesquite, Texas. What stinks is that UPS doesn't deliver to Waxahachie, TX where I live until the last runs of the day between 5:00-6:00pm. I'll be anxiously waiting all damn day.

"I'm too afraid to take my nexus 6 out the house"

In 2000 I finally persuaded my wife that we needed mobiles. The clincher was when I said to her something that I'd heard: "Grandma, is it right that you used to have to call a building and hope the person you wanted to talk to was inside?"

So your comment made me smile - sort of defeats the point of going mobile, no...? :)
[Nexus 6  General] fast69mopar:
My new Nexus 6 just showed up on my front porch. Time to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and flash N6XShamu with the B14CKB1RD kernel and make it like nothing ever happened. I'm sorry Nexus, I will never drop you again.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
Is it refurbished?
[Nexus 6  General] fast69mopar:
No, this one is new. Not a refurb. When I unboxed the new Nexus, it came with a new sim card, usb cable and a new wall charger w/ quick charge 2.1a that has the letters "dd" on the side of it. Dont know what brand this charger is but I know its not a Motorola like what originally shipped with my Nexus 6. Oh well, I still get to keep my Motorola Turbo Charger and everything that my Nexus came with.
[Nexus 6  General] HipKat:
That happened to me about 2 weeks ago. I've dropped it 100 times, no problem, but this, it landed perfectly flat on the street.

The good news is I still had my 64Gb N6 from when I was with US Cellular (Which when I switched to Verizon, they said I couldn't bring over with me, oddly and forced me to buy a 32Gb Nc), but one call to Customer Service, swapping the Sim Card and my old phone was activated on Verizon (and I hate the sales guy that lied to me to get a sale).
[Nexus 6  General] fast69mopar:
Glad you had a backup Nexus that you could use. Verizon customer service can be so full of sh*t sometimes. I think they pull answers out of their asses just so they don't have to work and look for it.
[Nexus 6  General] XxCyberHackerxX:
Haha good point. I have multiple android phones but the nexus 6 is my favorite hence the reason I'm sort of scared to take it out my house. I'm gonna try to find a case for it
[Nexus 6  General] fast69mopar:
I used iPhone's from the day they released thru every device to the iPhone 5s. My first Android was an HTC Inspire 4G running 2.3 Gingerbread and from that point I was hooked. Then I moved to Samsung. Now that I have a Nexus 6 as my first Nexus experience I cannot see myself going back to anything else. It pained me to use my new Galaxy S5 for two days while waiting on my replacement Nexus to be delivered. I am being super paranoid with my new Nexus 6 now. I was pretty reckless with the first one but not now.
[Nexus 6  General] canezila:
Look into getting tempered glass protector. My wife drops her phone (nexus 5x) all the time and other than replacing the broken tempered glass, all is good. Just a thought...
[Nexus 6  General] fast69mopar:
I have considered putting a tempered glass on my Nexus. I have always hated case and screen protectors. I have always been so picky with my devices that I never needed one but maybe it's time.
[Nexus 6  General] kenbrownstone:
I had temp glass on both my nexus 6 and it didn't crack but the phone did
[Nexus 6  General] fast69mopar:
Well now, how about this? I was driving around town on day 23 of having my new replacement Nexus 6. I stopped to get fuel in my truck and the phone rings. Pulled my Nexus from my front pocket with the new tempered glass screen protector to find my display completely destroyed. When I put my phone in my pocket at the house my display was perfect. Not a scratch or nick anywhere on the device plus my new screen protector. Somehow in the 5 mile trip to the truck stop my Nexus was destroyed in my front pocket and I was steaming mad. How in the hell did this happen? So, I called Asurion to have a discussion about my "NEW" replacement that is 23 days old at this point. I surely didn't want to use my 2nd claim of the year 23 days later on the same device and I didn't want to spend the money again dammit. I was told that I would have to pay the deductible again to replace my Nexus. I lost my sh*t on the phone with their customer service"specialist" with screaming and curse words and more curse words and some more screaming. Well, I stopped yelling profanity and apologized for the things I said about their mom's because I heard the young girl crying on the other end. I felt bad because I let my frustrations come out on an unsuspecting victim. I hung up the phone. About 15 minutes later I received an email stating that my claim was successfully finished and processed. I didn't complete the claim over the phone or give my credit card info to authorize payment. I just hung up. Then, about 30 minutes later I received another email stating that my order has been processed and was ready for UPS to pick up my device for delivery. Next, a tracking number showed up in my email and my new Nexus is on the UPS truck and out for delivery today. All I did was scream. No money has come out of my pocket and my new Nexus 6 replacement was sent to me. That never works for a man. Men don't get their way when they complain. Not like women do. Especially my wife. She can get anything done and whatever she wants when she gets on the phone. It never works for me.
[Nexus 6  General] jpeckinp:
A refurb is $299 and most likely the one you got from Asurion/Verizon/Motorola is a refurb just because everything in the box was new doesn't make the phone new. I Worked for Motorola for 22 years in service and repair. We had a program called "Shelf Ready" everything that wasn't going directly back to a customer had to look brand new.

The insurance on these things is a ripoff. If you do end up paying $49 you still over paid by $14 and if you have the extra $100 added on you over paid by $114. 11/mo x 24mo = $264 + $49= $313

If you do buy insurance only do it for the first year after that you are wasting money.
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
I call BS on this story.
[Nexus 6  General] Panamon:
Sometimes good things happen to bad people.
[Nexus 6  General] mituzora:
Heh, if you've seen the prices of the nexus 6 screen(or at least last i checked) my 175 deductable is relatively reasonable. normally i replace screens myself, but the nexus 6 screen was going for 160+ a few months ago.
[Nexus 6  General] fast69mopar:
Well, my new Nexus 6 is in my hands and working like it should.
[Nexus 6  General] belovedson:
Highly recommend the tempered glass protection. Dropped my nexus once and the entire phone was fine
[Nexus 6  General] marstein:
My Nexus 6 in a case with tempered glass protection slammed face first into a concrete floor. The tempered glass was a bit scratched. But the image distorted. Later the LCD went completely dead. It looks as if Motorola is offering a $175 repair. The digitizer is fine but the LCD is gone.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
I wrote about insurance as well, but overall it's typically a waste of money b/c after premiums and deductibles, you pay close to the same as a full price, but for a refurb. I am not aware of any insurance replacements where a legit brand new phone was replaced. In the OP's first post, the charger was different than stock. As far as I am concerned, once the box is opened from factory it's a refurb.

You are right though about the 1st year b/c you haven't lost that much in premiums yet. I'm not even in the industry, it's basic math.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ^tyrant^:
My tab was running stock 5.1.1 rooted and twrp

I flashed the cm-12.1-20160501-NIGHTLY-lt03wifi to check it out, and it was giving me issues so I booted it up in download mode and reflashed P600UEUCNI1_P600XARCNI1_HOME.tar.md5

and now its just sitting at the samsung loading screen .

I cant seem to get it into any type of recovery mode, only download mode.

anyone have any ideas on what i can try to do to get it booting again?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ^tyrant^:
Ok correction i am able to boot into recovery mode.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ^tyrant^:
Ok i was able to get into recovery mode finally..

I reflashed the cm12.1 zip and that is booting.. but still having issues ... it rebooted after doing the initial setup..

I would love to get back to a stock type rom...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] blindmanpb:
You're gonna need to boot into recovery and wipe data & cache.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ^tyrant^:
I was able to get it booting CM again, but i really would like to go back to the stock rom, but flashing it via odin doesnt seem to work, that when i get stuck at the sumsung screen..

now i was thinking this might be because twrp is still the recovery and not the stock. so i need to find the stock recovery to put back and try that i guess
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] blindmanpb:
If you're flashing stock firmware, it should replace TWRP with stock recovery.

You're also going to need to wipe data & cache almost any time you are switching ROMs (and definitely if you are switching between stock & CM).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ^tyrant^:
Thats what i thought too about the recovery.img

so you think i should wipe data/cache in trwp then reboot it back to download mode and flash via odin?

[General Questions and Answers] junggly:
Hello all

I don't want to be that guy that makes one post and runs for the hills I actually want to be part of the community, unfortunately this current situation is driving me nuts, to the point where I just have to post.

You see I own a cubit x17 that features quite a lot of bloatware and malware that needs removing.

I have rooted my device using kingroot and even gone as far as to install TWRP. I have downloaded a custom ROM for my phone that is saved in my downloads.

The problem is I just can't figure out how to install it...... I've tried everything from using TWRP to manual booting (there's not a single install option on the manual boot screen) and as far as I know no SD card in the phone and I cant seem to find the download folder from the boot screen.

Please can somebody help before I pull the remaining hair I have left out
[General Questions and Answers] Rydema:
Step by Step for you, I would highly recommend you get a SD Card if you can. (Always remember to backup your phone with nandroid before doing anything!! I will NOT be held responsible if your phone goes wrong so do this at your own risk. )

1) Download an App called Flashy

2) Download the TWRP 2.8.7.3 v3

3) extract the files out and make sure you have recovery.img and the other .img file

4) Open flashy and press recovery image.

5) Point it to the one called TWRP then hit Yup

This should flash your recovery into TWRP and boot into it. From this you should be able to flash your current stock rom over to a custom rom. But you will need to do the standard procedures of wiping etc.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] optiknerv:
Not a complaint or a request for help but more of an observation and interest in why.

Today we had sun.... yes sun in the uk.... I know it's very rare. Anyway I was wearing my sunglasses, went to turn on the screen and black... maybe I didn't press the button hard enough?.... nope nothing... what's broken already?

Took off my glasses and to my surprise the screen was already on. My sunglasses have polarized lenses and conflicted with some sort of polarization on the phone screen to let nothing through.

On my M8 the result was just a distortion on the screen not complete blackness.

Anybody know what purpose this serves in improving the screen?... other than making polarized glasses a no no when using it?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jollywhitefoot:
The M9 was polarized in landscape. No idea why they decided to polarize the 10 this way.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] supremeweb:
I had some problems with mine too, so I just threw it away
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] eallan:
Every LCD panel is polarized in some way. Do the same thing with your old device and rotate it to find the angle.

That being said having this orientation polarized on the 10 is a pretty bad decision
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] richii0207:
Polarization allows lights of a specific orientation. Unpolarized light travels through an entire 180 degrees like in a circle. Polarized sunglasses use a polarized filter that's orientated vertically that allows only vertical (90 deg) waves to go through.

In a nut shell, the HTC 10's polarizing filter is orientated horizontally if you cannot see the screen in portrait with your sunglasses on. Polarization reduces eye strain by significantly reducing the number of light waves going through without affecting the brightness.

This orientation is actually a pretty good idea if you are using GPS in landscape mode or taking a picture outside with your phone. Imagine having to take your glasses off in order to take a picture or look at the GPS...that wouldn't bode well.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] spicypixel:
I'll take photos tomorrow but I can confirm the phone usable with polarised glasses if you have the sharp panel.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ImagioX1:
Polarizing in the portrait orientation also helps prevent texting and driving[emoji6]
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Schedonnardus:

Every device known to man is polarized, many vertically and horizontally. Why is it so talked about on the 10?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] spicypixel:
If I remember the s7 isn't. And some are radially polarised like the sony z2
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] m03sizlak:
Although all screens may be polarized, they can polarize it at a 45 degree angle to make the phone visible it portrait or landscape, but half as bright. Also, there is some type of layer they can put on top of the screen that would eliminate the polarization, or radial polarization. Kind of disappointed i can't see my 10's screen in portrait with sunglasses on.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jollywhitefoot:
I have the tianma and the exact same experience as this. Landscape is clear and normal, portrait is dim, but semi-usable. Sometimes when reading something, i have to take my glasses off for a second to see better.

And yes, my sunglasses are 100% polarized. When I wear them while looking at my Dell laptop, the screen is COMPLETELY black. Which sucks pretty bad when I want to work outside on a sunny day.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mrwicked:
Guess I'm not the only one. Walked out of Sprint store last Friday, got to car put phone in pocket and drove back to work. On way back into work, I got a text, with polarized oakley prescription sg's on, I could not see my screen. Kind of freaked out a little bit lol
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Muser27:
I've been doing research and it seems a possible fix could be in using certain screen protectors. Looking at other phones that have the same LCD issues, it seems people have had varying degrees of success with either matte screen protectors or tempered glass screen protectors. Unfortunately, since our phone is so new, I haven't found a documented case of a screen protector actually fixing the issue.

Anybody have any more info on this? I've been wearing polarized sunglasses for years and I don't see switching to non-polarized as a viable option.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] richii0207:
If you use a polarizing filter 45 degrees on top of your screen, it'll show at any orientation. You can look up Law of Malus for a better explanation or picture., it's quite interesting/fascinating.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] allroy75:
Is this 45 degree polarization common in screen protectors?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] richii0207:
Sorry, I do not know as I don't use screen protectors.

This video shows how LCD devices use polarization. Hopefully someone finds this video useful!

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Scrowlerfly:
I just got the phone yesterday evening and set it up. Today, after work got in the car put my polarized raybans on... and POW! Couldn't see anything on my HTC. I worked it out straight away that they must have polarized the screen in portrait orientation, as i had a similar shock with my previous phone (but that was when I was viewing in landscape).

Thought I'd come and raise this on xda...but before I started a thread I thought let me just do a quick search. Wasn't expecting it to be an issue many people had witnessed...but alas I was wrong...it seems like there is a high proportion of XDA members with polarized lenses :p

Has anyone had any luck with finding a work around?

Now I need to go and buy some new sun glasses that arent polarized...
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] allroy75:
Ive been wondering exactly the same thing. I can't use the phone polarized as it is. I'm out in the water too much and exclusively wear polarized. I sent mine back and have reached out to elevate with the issue but they haven't helped me get a sharp paneled 10. I've tweeted Jason Mckenzie about it and no response. Pretty sad really, I love this phone otherwise
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Aukutsutsu:
I had this problem and it pretty much disappeared after I put a tempered glass protector on it. I heard that might help before I got it and had my doubts, but I was planning to use one anyway. After I got it I was surprised and wondered if my m8 had the same effect and I never noticed because I had a glass protector on it from day 1.

In case you are wondering I have the G-Color black full coverage one but I bet any glass one would do it...
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] supremeweb:
sad news, but what can we do
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] oconnell84:
Can you post a link to your glass screen protector so we can buy it?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Aukutsutsu:
Got it on Amazon. Search "gcolor HTC 10" and it is the full coverage black one I have.

Generally good reviews but a couple people complained of halo effect (I didn't have any problem). Also since it goes edge to edge it might be a problem with a case. That said there isn't anything special about the glass in this protector versus any other made of tempered glass. I'm sure they would all help with the polarization problem.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] supremeweb:
I took your advice and bought new device, so now finally everything is working fine so far
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Badelhas:
What do you mean? Were you able to somehow fix the polarization issue on the HTC 10? Can you please explain better?

Thanks
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] tfouto:
Nope. It increases eye-strain, because the light waves are more concentrated. Normally reflected light are unpolarized and is so easy on eyes. Polarized light is directional light (concentrated light) on retina. More eye strain.
