[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @pulkit:
Moto G4 was my initial choice.

But, seeing the cases Motorola is doing with their phones.. I feel that Moto has lost their sheen.. :(

My dad recent wanted a phone, I choose Moto G3 Turbo, thinking that It would certainly get the Nougat update and regular security update. But, sadly, Motorola dropped the entire G3 series from the Nougat update program, even not fulfilling the 2yr update promise.

My choice for N6 was that even though both phones has will get nougat, N6 would have a nice development scene in the coming year.

Also, Moto G4 is plagued with heating issues.

Can you give me another recommendation..:)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seahorsepip:
It's a great phone but I'm sure you can get it for less, 278 is a ripoff even for 64gb.

Moto g series are too expensive, don't even start comparing the lcd screen to the nexus 6 oled screen...

Pay with PayPal, then you're insured if anything happens :good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmok:
I've had a very different experience with eBay. I've bought many phones from eBay without any issues and I'm sure eBay or PayPal would cover me if I received a phone that wasn't in the condition it was described. eBay does have a money back guarantee by the way, but I've never had to use it. I've also found phones on eBay to be cheaper than similar condition phones on swappa. I've been buying phones on eBay for 5+ years now.

What I'm saying is that both Swappa and eBay are good places to buy a used phone. I've bought many phones from Swappa as well without issues so I have experience with both and I do like both. I usually check both when I'm looking for a used phone and go with the less expensive one in the condition I'm looking for. I just picked up a 64GB Nexus 6 in excellent condition on eBay for under $200 by the way.

About the Nexus 6 being worth buying today. I would say yes in my opinion. It has 7.1.1 already while many devices are still on marshmallow and it has good development support. The hardware seems fine as well with 3GB of RAM and the Snapdragon 805 processor.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] sssscary:
Hi, if anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. I just got a Kenzo and have been having the same issue with MIUI 8 that it came with, and now with the cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J4-kenzo ROM, cm-13.0-RADIOS.zip, and Radon-V3.5-Kenzo-Cm-Mm.zip I just flashed today.

I thought the new rom might fix my issue, but apparently not.

Occasionally, I can make or receive calls. Maybe 1 out of 20 times. It seems like only if the "H+" is showing when I make the call. LTE data is working fine. Usually when I make a call, or a call comes in, it goes from LTE to 3g, then the call doesn't connect. Using a app called NET Monitor, it shows the it connected to "RSSI WCDMA" during the period when the call is trying to connect.

I am in Canada, and the phone seems to support the correct bands, but this issue persists. I have tried two different sim: one from Rogers and one from Bell....both have the same issue. My samsung s6 doesnt have the issue with the same sim.

I am at a loss and would really appreciate assistance from someone who knows more than I :)

thanks!

If I set to 3g preferred, then run this HSPA+ Tweaker (3G booster) I can make a call. Network indicator shows H+

[ I have a connection graph, but can't post it yet since i am too new. ]

Call worked fine for this scenario

If I set to LTE preferred, I can't usually make a call. Network indicator shows LTE, then switchs to 3g. The connection graph looks like this. First green line on "serving cell" graph, call came in, worked properly. Second green line is when I called phone, but never it never rang . Shows same if you try to make a call.

[Will post graph when I can]

First call worked, second didn't in this scenario.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] sssscary:
I think the radio is just not receiving a strong enough signal. The signal in same location, same sim, shows up much stronger with my Samsung S6.

Not sure if the phone is defective, or just not as good. Anyone ever compare WCDMA reception between these two phones?
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Anyone else? I push the power button to turn the screen on and the soft keys light up and no screen. It has been happening every couple of hours for the past 3 days. Any ideas or suggestions?
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] Mes3:
Never had it happen to me. There's a new update seeding out. Maybe that will help? Have wiped your cache? I had to do that after a factory reset to get my WiFi working correctly.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Got the update has not happened today the only thing I can figure at this point is I had cellular back up set up on Google photos turned that of and SEEMS to have helped
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] marcram:
Yes, super annoying, HTC and Sprint should address

Any progress on a solution? Please acknowledge with a comment on my YouTube video. With a rooted rom, the screen blackout issue causes a reboot. My phone is barely usable at this point. Blackouts happen randomly and can hardly unlock it. About to send it back to HTC as sprint wants to charge me 75 bucks to look at it.

Search, HTC Bolt blackout problem, I'm not allowed to post links here.

Hopefully can be fixed in software.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Since I posted I have taken the update cleared cache and turned google photos settings to insult update on Wi-Fi when charging I have not had any issues since those 3 things
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] marcram:
I just cleared cache and disabled photo uploading. How did you figure it was google photos? I'll report back.

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

Still having the problem after the suggestions. Blacks out on pretty much any long press: to drag an icon,swype, etc.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Mine did not black out I was only having an issue with the screen not waking up
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
I noticed that it happened again and when the screen turned on the camera was open. I have removed the camera from my lock screen short cuts... Will report back
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] marcram:
Keep me updated. I turned off all screen gestures and unlock screen options.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Happened 2x today just a thought I noticed that the edge of my screen protector is covering half way on the front facing camera will change it when I get home. Perhaps messing with the sensor????
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] marcram:
My bolt has no case, still happens.

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

I also disabled auto brightness, but didn't help. Ran in safe mode, didn't help. But it never messed up in boatloader menu, so perhaps software issue. If there is stock android Rom without sense that can run on bolt, I'd like to load it to see if problem is still there. Is there one?

Does your problem seem like this?
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Mine has never turned itself off I only have a an issue with the screen not waking up
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Nope
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] Motfiamike:
I had a similar issue, mine went crazy and was rebooting randomly thought out the day as well though. I never rooted or anything. I ended up sending it back to HTC they have had it for a week and it's still "in repair". I started to tap the back of the phone when the screen wouldn't turn on and it eventually would work for whatever that's worth
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] marcram:
I narrowed the problem down. Any firm press or swipe on the upper half of the screen blacks out the screen and can cause a reboot. Also sending or back to HTC. Luckily I have a backup phone.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Did you get your phone from HTC or sprint
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] Motfiamike:
I bought it through sprint
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
And you still had to send to HTC?
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] marcram:
Got mine through Sprint too. Here is another video of the problem[YOUTUBE] https://youtu.be/KETwV0L6nj4 [/YOUTUBE]

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

Sprint warranty is like 20 days. HTC warranty is longer.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Mine does not do that at all. Only has issues waking up
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Mine does not do that at all. Just has the waking up issue
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] Motfiamike:
Yeah, dealing with sprint was a nightmare. It was a little easier talking to HTC. Mine started out just showing the screen on symptom but within a week it escalated to crashing and restarting
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Did you have the protection plan?
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] marcram:
I've never had an issue with HTC Evo 4g, HTC one M8, so I didn't think I needed protection plan. Now I wish I had it. Will be adding that service when I can.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Pm sent
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] Motfiamike:
I didn't receive it. No I didn't have a protection plan. I've owned almost every HTC phone without ever really needing one. I was within a month of purchase and sprint have me such a run around about returning it that I just went through htc
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
If you transfer service to an old phone and then transfer it back online it will ask you if you want to add the protection you can pretty much do that anytime
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] Motfiamike:
That's fine, HTC isn't charging me to repair it though and HTC does the uhoh protection for a year I'm not all that concerned. Just dissapointed that everything in the box was bad (charger was defective too) and I had to go through a lot of crap to get it fixed. Thanks though
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
I thought the Uhoh was only if you buy direct from HTC
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] Motfiamike:
Nope

A thread you might be interested in
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] bdizzle1686:
Are you 100% sure about this? Because I actually bought my Bolt because I dropped my HTC One A9 1 single time about 2 months ago, and the screen completely shattered (WORST constructed device htc has EVER made) , and I didn't wanna pay to get it fixed, the manual that comes with the phone says uh-oh protection is only for devices purchased directly through HTC, and I bought mine from the Sprint store... HTC.com also says uh-oh protection is only for htc direct purchased devices.. so lemme know if this isn't the case, as I still have my broken A9 (which I just bought in August, so it would still be covered)...

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

I read the article and although the sprint ppl state that the device IS covered by uh-oh protection, the sprint ppl don't always know all the details. I have heard of many ppl who bought a HTC device through a carrier store and when they tried to cash in the uh oh protection, were turned down by htc
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] Motfiamike:
I had an m9 fixed thru HTC on uh-oh protection
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] bdizzle1686:
But did you purchase the device from a Sprint Store? Or directly from Htc.com?
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] Motfiamike:
The m9 I purchased at target. The Bolt I purchased @ radioshack/sprint and HTC told me that if the device was malfunctioning because of something outside the warranty scope that it would be covered under uh-oh protection. They have had it in repair for a week now and I haven't heard anything from them yet
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
So I seem to have narrowed down my issue. The screen only locks up if the phone is in my pocket. I am wondering if it may be the heat?

However I have really dry skin an produce slot of static electricity is there a way to disable the finger print sensor when screen is off
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
I had a interesting situation earlier today...the screen not turning on issue seems to have been more frequent...earlier today it happened, but this time I could not get it to come back on, forced a reboot, nothing, booted to download mode by holding pwr + vol dn....no screen, but fastboot & adb was still working...I thought the screen was dead, and was about to activate my 10, but I tried one more thing...knowing you can't use fingerprint to unlock after reboot, I decided to delete the locksetting files so it would wipe out my PIN, after doing that & rebooting, I saw the boot splash & then the boot animation & finally saw my homescreen....I setup the PIN again...hopefully it wont happen again...

Exactly what is happening with mine. Have you installed any thing recently. I swear it happens every time I put me phone in my front pants pocket
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
Not that I can think of, it started after the last update. I am running Magisk... Are you stock?
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Bone stock not even rooted or unlocked
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
good to know...my guess is that it's a software flaw in the .22 update
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
It only happens to me when it is my pocket I can leave it in my truck console or in my shirt pocket and it never happens. So strange.

So who's door do we have to kick down to fix this
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Do you have the same issue with your pockets
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
I'll have to pay closer attention...it is getting more annoying & happening more...I'm about to RUU soon...yesterday it happened multiple times while out, and a few times when I got it to unlock is was laggy AF
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] bleichtman:
I'm also having the same issue. Does it happen on 1.3?

[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
I think u may be on to something....I paid closer attention yesterday....at home when I had it laying out, it always unlocked ok, but when I was out & had it in my pocket, it would give me trouble...I've also been getting crazy lag, very annoying, I RUU's this am, but it's still present at times.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
I flashed the 1.17.651.15 firmware to see if there's any difference...so far it's behaving normal, I'll report back after more time
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] Motfiamike:
For what it's worth I still haven't gotten my phone back from HTC.. My problem was very similar to OMJ once I get it back I'm going to request the work order to see what was actually repaired. Up to this point they won't tell me what's wrong with it, just that they are waiting on parts
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Two days I did not put the phone in my pants pocket. Today I did accidently.... Boom locked up for 2 hours.

[MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION] any news on you end
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:

Sucks that the only people that I have talked to about this phone are having issues. Except for the fact I cannot put it in my front pocket I love it
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] chaos67731:
I have the same problem with 2 Bolts, and my 3rd is on the way.

When I talked to the reps at the sprint store , they said they have been getting a lot of Bolts with the same problem. Does anyone know if HTC has said anything about this problem yet?
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Did your screen just completely give up?
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] DarthNixilis:
Mine the screen "wakes up" but it's still black. It is responsive, I've used the recent apps button to close everything while the screen is black.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
Does it wake up
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
No, it was super laggy
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
So I got the tep plan and got a new device today
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] Motfiamike:
Any problems with the new device?

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

Also HTC sent me an email (1 month later) that my phone repair is complete, they changed the loud speaker...... And said they reflashed it. I should have it back next week sometime
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
None so far but keeping the tep for a few months to be sure
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] tgh48:
Same Issue

I am experiencing the same issue, in addition eventually the issue progresses to screen artifacting and flickering. I am on my second phone and about to send that one in for a replacement due to re-occurrence of the issue.

HTC has about a four week turn around time, so beware. If you have really bad issues ask to speak to the escalations supervisor.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
got my Bolt back, so far so good, but it's only been active a day
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
My new one has not had any issues
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] Thegreektweak:
Is your new/referbed device still working properly? Or did the issue recur? I am about to send mine out, but have been worried that the issue will continue to happen.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
The gave me a new one and so far no issues
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] 4puttaz:
Curious if your "super lagging" was like mine. When i pan my camera around it takes a second for the picture to catch up. also my videos run choppy. After factory RUU reset it will appear normal but it does start lagging again eventually

Tim
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
no, mine was laggy with everything
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
my co-workers Bolt just started having the screen issue...hit power button, the nav keys light up but screen stays black...but it has gotten worse, at 1st it would eventually wake up, now the screen will not wake up at all. I had this same issue on mine at one time, and was able to boot to twrp & manually delete the lockscreen files via adb, and then it boot up & was good. his Bolt is 100% stock w/ locked bootloader so I can't even flash twrp to mess around...I was able to flash the latest RUU after booting it to download mode, but even after RUU'ing the effen screen will still not come on.

anyone else have this same issue & if so, were u able to ever get it to come on? looks like it's time to contact HTC support...
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] jayshocka:
That was the problem I had there was nothing I can do I just contacted Sprint and added the protection plan took it in got a new one
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] 4puttaz:
I flashed the 1.32.651.6 from download mode with no change but the next day my phone somehow became normal again with fast response time and no lagging. Wish I knew what I did.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
I did a force reboot into download mode, and finally the screen came back on. Made it through setup but was laggy, it did eventually settle down, but the screen was still acting up. He contacted HTC to send it in for repair.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] lordlittlebrooks:
I too had the screen issue where it wouldn't come on. I sent it to HTC and got it back yesterday. It's the exact same phone (my IMEI matches). When I go to About, Software Updates, I get the "There was an unexpected error and the file system may be corrupted. OMJ and the others with new or refurbed Bolt's, any idea what's causing this? Did the HTC support folks bork something or did they block software updates thinking that this might be the cause? And correct me if I'm wrong, but does this mean that I won't be getting future OTA software updates (without doing something about it)? Thanks!
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
They may have messed up, I'd flash the latest RUU to get it back on track...
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] lordlittlebrooks:
What if they intentionally flashed back (thinking that this latest patch is causing the issue) and then borked it from updating to the latest (to avoid another issue)? I don't remember what it was on before, other than it was on the latest because I'm OCD about checking for updates when I start setting up a device. Can you let me know what the Android Security Patch date on the 1.32.651.6 RUU is? I'm on 1.17.651.22 on my newly received Bolt and it's December 1st? Wondering if this is what they did and if this would be a way to tell if they rolled me back from when I sent it in for repair. (I have confirmed that this is the same device that I shipped in.)

I read in this thread that people have tried rolling back, but they still had the issue aftewards. I'm wondering if they do some magic back at the HTC support center and then handicap the devices, so to speak, from updating.

I'm afraid of updating to the latest RUU and being back in the same boat. THX.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
1.32.651.6 has security patch of Jan 2017...that's odd that HTC would roll it back...they're notorious for flashing the latest...but I can tell you, this issue was definitely present on 1.17.651.22, so I don't see how updating to the latest would be any worse.

your issue could be a mistake or intentional, I wouldn't think they would do that though....very strange!
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] lordlittlebrooks:
Yeah, I just watched Stranger Things over the weekend and I envision the HTC Support building to be like Hawkins National Laboratory. Lol. But I appreciate you letting me know that the screen issue was happening on 1.17.651.22. I'm going to flash the 1.17.651.22 RUU and then try and take the 1.32.651.6 RUU over the air. Thanks OMJ!
