[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DogzOfWar:
The one benefit of Android is we're really starting to get great phones at a bargain price, something that will never happen to iOS. For instance, my wife got the Amazon-version of the Moto G4 for $125 and it's a pretty amazing phone. Not stock android, and who knows about updates, but it's a great phone for the price.

I'm going to have a lot of trouble upgrading to anything that costs over $300. I'm disappointed that the upcoming Pixel phones are going to be in the Samsung/Apple price range, as opposed to ~$300-400.

After my Nexus 6, I'm considering staying a year behind. Upgrade to a 6p or 5x. Stay in the ecosystem, get the Google updates, get a faster phone but not pay leading-edge prices.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dusty Rhodes:
I have three things that keep me from going iPhone and one of them is something I can overlook. I need to have access to the file structure and use my phone as a USB drive. I also need to have the ability to send ANY file to another person via email, like zip files or different image formats like .tiff. The iPhone email restrictions are a deal breaker to me. I also hate having every app on the main screen all of the time, but I can live without it. I'm heavily invested in the Google system, but I'd give that up too.

An iPhone for 99% of people is a solid choice, it's just a fact. But guess what? Android is a solid choice as well. But things like OEM induced OS fragmentation and carrier interference make it a bit less desirable, but Nexus is the way a fix for that. I have to say if they get rid of Nexus devices and get rid of the ability to root (I love ad blocking at the system level) I may have to go iPhone as well.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiffan86:
The design is superior except of the fact the iPhone 6 and above bend super easy. I work for a cell repair shop and about half of them are bent when they come in for a screen replacement or any other service. We also have a lot of bad batteries come in, and they get so bloated that they push up the screen. But I guess it is better to bloat than explode like the note 7 lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Apple *invented* exploding batteries.... (yep, they should feel free to actually take credit for this one)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3920726:
Well I enjoy being on the bleeding edge, that is why I bought Nexus and put up with the shortcomings of Nexus, but the way Google has handled N for the N6 leaves a really bad taste. I know it sounds picky but we buy Nexus for the often mentioned Google updates. Not a fan of the 6p but I'm seriosly considering it, maybe I'll get it during Black Friday.

Well, I've found that I can pretty much replace/cover all my needs with Apple Apps. Also, from using my wife's iPhone, I agree with those who say that the Google experience is actually better in iOS now. They even have features/apps we don't have :silly:

Lol, A sturdy case fixes the bending and a battery change fixes the bloating. Nothing fixes a burnt phone, you are right.

Lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiffan86:
Unfortunately most people have cases that look nice, but have very little protection.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3920726:
Well I believe that it depends on the person, I can use a phone without case and it won't have issues, still I use a pretty slim one that provide very little protection.

My wife on the other hand, needs to have her phone encased in an almost military grade cover, my kid the same.

There are just people who take a little bit more care of their phones, or just give it a lot more value, for others it's just another tool so if it falls it falls.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] integraGSR:
I had the note 7. I tried to like it. I like the camera a lot. But I'm sitting at best buy right now returning the note 7. I knew going into the note 7 that TW was a memory hog but I tried to like it. After using it for a couple of weeks and used my N6 again, I couldn't believe how much quicker everything felt. So here I am, back to the N6, I'll be on the look out for the pixel phones.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowcore:
Since price and OEM practices of apple arent an issue for you, get an iphone.

iphones are targeted at a specific demographic and it seems you are part of it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3920726:
Gonna resurrect this thread since the Pixel phones just came out. I honestly do not find the Pixel (reg and XL) appealing.

I used a co-workers S6 Edge, and I have to admit, it was pretty nice. I would actually go for the Note 7 since I like the bigger screen (yes, explosion, yes fire, just saying).

Any recommendations?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oOflyeyesOo:
Doesn't this not have the LTE bands, and will only get 3g in the US?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tikerz:
It has US LTE bands. Even Best Buy sells it in the store though stock levels are really low. They have a display set up and everything at my local store.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oOflyeyesOo:
Weird, maybe it was only the international model, before they made a US version.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I did see that one, being curious how will development for it look.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreeLookMode:
I bought a Nexus 6 because I wanted the clean android experience and I wanted to have android updates first. But I dislike the Pixel so much I know there's no way that will be my next phone. I think it is ugly as hell and that is something that does actually matter to me. I also think its features, some of which are weaker than flagship competitors (I'm looking at you 12mp camera) do not justify the price for me.

I may be in the minority on this, but I am also disappointed at the reduction in screen size since the Nexus 6. I know most of you will want to reply and say that the difference between a 5.9 in screen and a 5.5 in screen is next to nothing. But you also probably are not someone who wishes they had an even BIGGER screen on their phone. I would prefer the largest screen size I could possibly fit into my baggy pockets. So any reduction in screen size is a disappointment to me.

Because of all this, my next phone will likely be the LG V20. While I will miss front-of-the-line android updates and roll my eyes at some manufacturer and carrier bloatware, the 5.7 in screen size (not including second screen) REMOVABLE BATTERY (!) , SIM CARD (!!) 16MP DUAL camera (including wide angle) and QUAD HD audio DAC, the top of any phone on the market, makes the LG V20 worth its (likely) extreme price (on par with Note 7).

Given that Note 7 is talking about a possible SECOND recall, that phone is off the table for me. So LG V20. That's my next phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well some of the initial hands on quick reviews have stated that the camera seems to be good on the Pixel XL

You have to tap furiously multiple time and then you can go through the wizard.

Using lastest opengapps google play services crashes so you cant login.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JohnSmit268:
Maybe you should untick the google setup wizard installing in opengapps aroma setup wizard (if you have the aroma version, I really recommend it) if not you will have to create a config file for opengapps to not to install google setup wizard. Search xda for instructions.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] forkbomb444:
RIL "works". There's a pretty big bug though: when the screen goes off rild starts eating CPU and the phone becomes unresponsive. (actual RIL functionality should be working ok though). Wifi tethering is also broken (for now, hopefully won't be too hard to fix), along with camcorder (CM problem).

So... don't expect anything from me until that's fixed. I'm going to be pretty busy over the next ~month, but I'll get to it eventually.

In the meantime, if anyone wants to roll their own, here's a quick'n'dirty guide, including all the additional patches you need on top of CM (you should already have all the tools to build android installed):

mkdir ~/android/system
cd ~/android/system
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b staging/cm-14.0
mkdir -p .repo/local_manifests

Tested the new build: cm14 (2016-09-26)

Working stuffs:

* WIFI

* Bluetooth

* Camera

* Flashlight

* Audio

* Audio Headset

* Gapps

* ROM is smooth (Not bad) for my first hands on

Broken stuffs:

* RIL (Baseband is unkown/corrupt) (SIM card/calls)

* Gapps setupwizard problems , flashed the Aroma one and I remove all Setupwizard, done

Flashing back cm13 SNAPSHOT. When RIL will be resolved, this rom will be the daily driver for my Dad... And yes my parents are experimenting all cm14 ROMs :p

I'm glad that you're working on cm14 even if you're not the real developer. I'm waiting also to stabilize your OnePlus 3 ROM (even if I don't have the device). Thanks also to all contributors/testers/Devs... who improves this project for our lefted S3.

A Radio Interface Layer (RIL) is a layer in an operating system which provides an interface to the hardware's radio and modem on e.g. a mobile phone.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] galaxyYtester:
Yep, and if RIL doesn't work, the software can't communicate with hardware like the radio and modem to use mobile data or make calls

RIL can also work only partially, if RIL works for calls only, you can only make calls, not use mobile data, and the other way around if only mobile data works :good:

As far as I know development is progressing well and there already exists a build where Wifi works, RIL is under progress but it's already fixed in the 4G version, I hope the devs can use the 4G version fix to fix RIL for the i9300 (this phone). Right now it seems that in the future we are going to have a completely stable Nougat, since for the 4G version it's a daily driver candidate already :good:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxMustermann2.0:
If you can find your network but cannot connect, do this:

1. Look inside the file /data/.cid.info

2. Delete /system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt and nvram_mfg.txt

3a. If (1) is "murata": rename /system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt_murata to nvram_net.txt and nvram_mfg.txt_murata to nvram_mfg.txt

3b. If (1) is "semcosh": rename /system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt_semcosh to nvram_net.txt and nvram_mfg.txt_semcosh to nvram_mfg.txt (well, I have not tested this since I have murata, but it's probably the same)

4. Reboot

Why the hell are you people asking for fixes? This is supposed to be the development forum! Anyone but devs should post here. Stop complaining for not working stuff and get the hell out of here.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] galaxyYtester:
Don't complain about bugs or ask for fixes if you don't know how to fix it yourself! The developers are working on RIL and all other bugs, complaining and saying it should be fixed isn't going to make the life of anyone easier or better, it's only going to annoy the developers: the only people who are going to bring you what you want. I'm all for testing what the devs have created, like everyone here, but saying "fix plz" isn't going to create any code to fix the problem. The developers know the bugs and are working on them, thank you in advance everyone for not complaining about stuff that isn't going to make anything better in the future :good:

Mates. You guys do remember you first days at xda, right? You surely asked irrelevant questions, asked for ETAs or maybe even posting paid apps links (in general a new member don't know all the rules and might just do something against them) instead of offending them blindly let's make xda forums a better and nicer place for newbies by just mentioning the specific rule and ask them to not to repeat the mistake again. Look if the guy you are offending is a junior member, a member or a senior member. And he just asked if that build is stable or not (there are so many guys who don't know the meaning of wip and testing in the development progress) you could just say: No it's not stable yet. The devs are working on it. That would be much nicer.
