[Nexus 6  General] Dopamin3:
Good riddance. I've had two Nexus 6 (64GB Cloud white and 32GB Blue) and had literally no issues you experienced. In fact the exact opposite. With V4A (and now A.R.I.S.E. audio) with the Audiophile profiles it's been the best audio quality device I have ever owned. Never had issues with audio either via the headphone jack or via bluetooth paired to all kinds of stuff (Anker bluetooth speaker, my Toyota car, Klipsch sound bar, etc...). I love getting monthly security patches for 3 years and guaranteed updates for 2 for the next OS (good luck on your HTC 10 in terms of security patches and system updates). Also with it being a Nexus there should be developers supporting it much longer than the intended lifecycle- look at the Nexus 4 still getting up to date Marshmallow ROMs compiled for it.

What do you expect trading it in to a carrier? Seriously??? Sell it on swappa.com where the average selling price is around $220/$270 for the 32GB/64GB variants respectively. Carrier trade in has nothing to do with the value of the device.

I don't disbelief you had the issues. That sucks, getting two "lemons" in a row. I wouldn't completely write off the Nexus line though, who knows what the rumored HTC Nexus is gonna be like. Hopefully awesome and similar/better to the HTC 10 but with full open source software released by Google. I'm in the exact opposite camp as you. I will never not buy a Nexus device because of the timely updates, full open source releases from Google, and arguably the best developer community among any devices released. It's also nice that when buying from Google they are unlocked for all 4 major carrier networks now, so you can switch at any time and not be locked in to your current carrier.
[Nexus 6  General] Mike02z:
I have had the exact opposite experience with my N6. I can now Edge-Up and I won't because there is no other phone that offers more than the N6. Here are my likes and dislikes about the N6

Pro:

Size is perfect for me. I can't stand the old 5" screens.

Mine does not run hot.

Huge amount of development support.

Fast

Battery lasts over 24 hours with heavy use 16 hours a day.

Pure Android experience. No annoying manufacturer crap.

Easy to unlock/root/change ROMS

Because I use a non stock ROM, I get monthly updates for security patches

Fast charging and wireless charging.

Cons:

Camera leaves something to be desired.

Must have a Fast charger if you are a heavy user.

Does not support wireless fast charging.

No micro SD slot

Until Google releases their next 6" phone, I'm sticking with my N6.
[Nexus 6  General] raptoro07:
Just wanted to say before this gets locked that if you think you Nexus 6 got hot. Wait till you start working with a metal phone. It will feel even hotter.

Also, why trade in for pennies on the dollar when you could have sold it on Swappa or Ebay. Going in the +$200 range.

Too long didn't read.

Glad you'll be able to go back to using Facebook exclusively for your feelings. No place for it here.
[Nexus 6  General] scothern99:
I didn't say I did. Thats just the trade in value. Kind of pathetic. A 2 year old phone with three times the horsepower (on paper) sells for less then a 3 year old iPhone. Its pathetic.

I seriously had high hopes for the Nexus 6. The 6p might be better as it was not glued together by Motorola. But this phone has been nothing but problems.
[Nexus 6  General] iainaaldrich:
Have fun with your Touchwiz or IOS
[Nexus 6  General] scothern99:
WOW!!

Sorry I'm not one of the "Cool kids".

I hope you all have much better experiences with your Nexus then I did. As for this Asshat here.... Moron.....

HTC = SENSE

Samsung = Touchwiz

Apple= iOS

Sence I said I was getting an HTC, your obvious attempt to attack me failed, and only showed that you sir are an IDIOT!

Why the defensiveness people? I was merely pointing out my experiences with my particular Nexus 6. I'm glad you like yours, I wanted to love mine. I guess I should learn to keep my opinions to myself. Wouldn't want to be different than anyone else...
[Nexus 6  General] iainaaldrich:
Why not just get a new Nexus 6?
[Nexus 6  General] droidstyle:
posts like this are part of the reason why I do not frequent this forum much anymore. the nexus 6 is a solid device, I have no real complaints about mine. it's not perfect, but it is far from terrible.
[Nexus 6  General] Dopamin3:
He seriously got a "thanks" for his OP? GJ
[Nexus 6  General] mituzora:
Have fun with Sense then. geez. but seriously if this isn't intended to be a troll post, then you just got sold a lemon. I've owned mine for well over a year now, nor is there anything going out on it. nothing really stands out for an upgrade at this point, and most likely won't until the new nexus devices get dropped. The biggest problem I have with this phone is the lack of an SD card, if it had that I wouldn't upgrade for a long time. I bought it at a new retail price, and honestly I think its worth every penny i spent on it, though I'm kinda angry how low it's dropped lol

But hey if you want to deal with the HTC 10, by all means have fun. you should read the most recent post on the XDA portal about it.
[Nexus 6  General] khanam:
1. Sell the phone on Swappa. Phones sell for much higher there.

2. Your experience is atypical. Most nexus 6 users are very happy.

3. I've been on android phones, rooting and modding since 2007. Having a non nexus phone will be disastrous for getting security updates and upgrades to newer android versions. That alone will overcome any gimmick touchwiz or sense has.

4. Similarly spec'd HTC phones will always lag pure android devices by definition since they have to run a skin on top of the pure android software. It might look similar but it's not close. I'm not going to a non nexus device after having had 18 HTC and Samsung devices in the family.

5. HTC makes the most beautiful industrial design phones but the fragmentation caused by HTC etc having to catch up their overlays to android version upgrades is not trivial. This will be a move you will regret.

6. The nexus 6 has it's own problems but on balance a nexus > a non nexus

7. No android phone will ever match an iPhone in low depreciation rates. Android by definition is too fractured and fragmented to get the cult following iPhones do. Believe me your HTC will also collapse in value very soon.

[Nexus 6  General] jley22:
I've been using the phone for 14 months straight without a single issue. As a matter of fact, the Nexus 6 is so good, I decided not to upgrade to the 6p. Everyone else who posted here is absolutely correct. Not every phone is going to be peachy keen all the time. Sometimes you will have to do a little homework and figure out what's going wrong and how to fix it. Your HTC 10 will have its own set of issues. What will you do then? Will you just give up and move on to the next phone, or will you try and do something about it?

Can the HTC 10 be rooted and have a custom recovery installed for a US phone?

Yup, flash TWRP after you unlocked the bootloader and after that flash the superSU.zip in recovery. S-Off is available too as i read somewhere.

WOW!!!! I'm glad I could contribute nothing to your little fan club. You are a douche....

Why did I post this here? Because fanboys like you helped to convince non-nexus people like me that a Nexus device is the way to go. Well that may have been, but this device is garbage. I was simply explaining the problems that I have had. Maybe help some other people out who are less knowledgeable to see some of the problems before buying an expensive brick.

I LOVED this phone when I first got it. 19 months later, its just falling apart at the seems. All of the things that fanboys like yourself talk about that makes these phones so great, I experience none of that. The battery life went to ****, the sound went to ****, the headphone port went to **** and most of all, it only charges 50% of the time.

I posted my experiences with a Nexus 6, in the Nexus 6 forum, in the General section. I'm sorry if you are crying because someone said a bad thing about your particular style of phone. It happens. News flash... Things happen, and since I have had nothing but positive experiences with XDA (until the little babies showed up to this thread with butt-hurt feelings) so I thought I would contribute my experiences.

Oh well. to those who just read, compared notes, or maybe had something positive to add, or even dded nothing..... Kudos and hopefully you continue to have a great experience with your device. To this Asshat and the others who decided to take my experiences with my phone as a personal attack...... Well, I'm sorry mommy didn't hug you enough, or maybe Daddy hugged you too much. Not my ****ing problem.

I am so geeked!!!!!!!!! I miss my HTC EVO 4G from back in the day. I HAD to get an HTC phone as soon as I could. It arrives today.

So could someone explain to me please......

1.) Should I root and what are the advantages over just Themes and ROMS

2. ) Does HTC still openly support unlocking and rooting your phone?

3.) Other then setting it up, are there any stabilty or performance tricks I should know?

Thank you guys. I can't wait

If you are really a fan of changing system icons and using other ROMs, I don't suggest to root.

HTC supports unlock on HTC dev, but not root.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] schmeggy929:
1. Most of your custom ROM come rooted already.

2. Yes they support unlocking, rooting not so much.

3. Read through the threads, there are a few.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] scothern99:
So root isn't really necessary anymore ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Alpert3:
I don't like to root it anymore. Since Sense 8 provides a "Free Style" which is very cool. But if you found still need to, then you can, of course.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] scothern99:
I have no special needs to root. I just like to tinker and play with ROMS. If I don't have to Root, I typically wont.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikekaipas:
I own a Samsung Galaxy A9

I tried to update the firmware from the original lollypop to (maybe) marshmallow

I failed to update using the software, so i updated using smart switch

It went wrong, the update failed.

Now the blue screen with "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recvery function in the Smart Switch PC software" appears..

I tried the emergency recovery but it also failed

The only button combination that worked is the power button + volume down --> It restarted, but the same screen appears

I even tried refresing the software with Odin, but it failed.

The phone says "FRP is enabled, not allow download non-FRP aboot binary"

Odin doesn't work

The samsung customer service in singapore (my country) is not able to help. Would really appreciate it if somebody could help me with this.

In deed but I don't think you can help me at this point. I wrote with crpalmer about FM radio. He said it's HTC who have to provide a firmware that supports FM radio. Do you have any further information if someone's working on it?

Maybe a stupid question but I don't know enough about kernel sources to find an answer to this question. When I still used my old Nexus 4 I found out there's a difference between CAF based kernels and the kernels for AOSP ROMs. CM ROMs could only be used with a CAF based kernel whereas AOSP based ROMs could only be used with a kernel that used the sources by Google. On my Dad's Nexus 6 (2014,shamu) there was no difference between CAF kernels and Google kernels. Both seem to use the same base. I guess it's Google that switched its kernel sources to CAF but I dunno. However, what about the HTC 10? Anything I need to change at the kernel side if I compile a kernel alongside the ROM? I mean are there any kernel differences between Sense, AOSP and CM kernels? If there aren't would it be possible to use the Elite kernel source for compiling a CM ROM? Thanks a lot ;)
