[Nexus 6P General] Balino:
I just ordered a new phone, it's time to leave this stupid phone and sell it till it's still alive. I experienced the bootloop of death after 6 months i bought the phone, I "enjoyed" a really bad battery life and a really really bad support from Huawei. My phone has been in assistance for 3 months and i own it since 12... 25% of the time i used my old nexus 5. Is this a good experience? I don't think so! Huawei and Google are not going to see my money again. Enjoy your phone guys and remember, you will have problems with this phone, don't think you are immune.

Once the Pixel 2 xl or the pixel 2 xxl (since rumor of a third larger model) comes out I'll switch...
[Nexus 6P General] divineazn716:
Sorry to hear that man, had it since the beginning and still flashing and running strong. 128gb
[Nexus 6P General] Hinesight 20/20:
I use the Seidio Convert with a tempered glass screen protector. It's really solid and clean. Doesn't look like a suit of armor or something.

[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
Ditto! Super device performance since its launch...
[Nexus 6P General] Chengbyarmbar:
I moved to a pixel when I sent my 6p in for the battery rma but I find myself using the 6p more often than not. I think had the battery issue not come up I would have stayed with the 6p.
[Nexus 6P General] jejb:
We each have different criteria on when to move on. I always liked my 6P overall, but its ability to pull in a signal in fringe areas was poor. That is very important to me. I would have to switch back to my S5 if I was going to camping in those areas, etc. I also fought the battery life some, especially after coming from a short stint with an iPhone 6S+, which had awesome battery life. But still, I did like the phone.

I pulled the trigger on an S7 Edge at a Black Friday sale last year, and am just super impressed with it. Every bit as good, if not better, battery life as apple phones, great reception in fringe areas, expandable memory, stunning display and good support. To be honest, I did not expect to like this phone as much as I do. It was fill in for me until the Note 8 came out, is what I was thinking. I've always rooted my phones in the past, but find no real need to do that with this one. The "block this" app blocks ads and I can customize everything I need to. I miss Pure Nexus a little, but it's nice to just be able to take updates with no hassles, too.

Pluses and minuses though, for sure. Good luck with your decision.
[Nexus 6P General] note3userr:
I would easily get the one plus 3t
[Nexus 6P General] Balino:
I could not live without a rooted phone, that's why nexus is always been my choice. I don't know what to do with a phone locked, no themes, no kernel manager apps, no tweaks, no mod. I would buy an iPhone instead of a non rooted android smartphone lol
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Depends what you want, all the tweaking can get old too.

I've been using android since 2008 and don't really mess with my phone like I used to.
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
Same here, modding has become more of a hassle than convenience due to frequent updates and security measures. Also now have too much stuff to be wiping data/cache constantly.
[Nexus 6P General] Balino:
Yeah I'm around the same time and it's quite different now, but it's still my favourite thing to do with a smartphone, it's funny! I like to play with kernel settings the most, having great battery life while keeping it smooth, it's something that never gets old!

Fortunately I always did clean installs of ROMs etc even when swtiching only the kernel, it's always been the same for me, so not a big deal
[Nexus 6P General] Jay794:
My next phone will be a Pixel XL
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
I'm mostly done with it honestly, I just want a phone that works well. I have kids and a difficult job though, I don't have the time I used to, and what I do have I'd rather spend doing something other than messing around with my phone every five minutes.
[Nexus 6P General] B3501:
Android is becoming tiring. A lot of bugs, random crazy battery drain out of nowhere and apps that are better on IOS.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
iPhone has been my daily since I got the 7 plus. I like them both, iPhone is my go to for work and when I need something reliable. Android is more what I use on the weekend when I want to mess around.

It's funny because a couple years ago or less you would have never caught me with an iPhone. I just value consistency these days.
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
I don't get any battery drain on my 6P on stock unrooted and all my apps run on my phone without any hiccups or issues.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Lucky you.. does that mean he doesn't since you don't?
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
I don't know. Does that mean every Android device has those issues since he does, by that same principle?

I'm merely stating that I'm getting different results, which I'm sure is allowed.

For all we know, it could be a rogue app of his? If he sees that some people aren't having issues, then it could be user error.

Instead of saying "me too" with issues, it's more beneficial to have someone experience something completely opposite so that you can troubleshoot easier....
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
The battery drain is a very known issue, hence that's the biggest thing that android o is targeting. The fact that "rogue apps" exist at all is a problem.
[Nexus 6P General] Jxcorex29:
Went ahead and bought a OP3t... It's slightly smaller, but feels great in my hands.
[Nexus 6P General] Jxcorex29:
Exactly me too, I can't remember the last time I even tinkered with kernel settings. I've been with Android since HTC G1. I've had some good memories too. Back in those days phones had super small storage space. Hell I remember when smartphones shipped with 1gb of ram.
[Nexus 6P General] Jxcorex29:
In the many years I've owned Android phones. I have never once had an issue with any phone. I've bricked some phones and been through some hell, but that's been mostly user caused. I was lucky I never had any issues when I used a 6p. Smartphones are going to have battery issues + iPhones aren't exactly perfect either.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
So why do things like greenify exist, and why are they so popular? Apps keeping your phone awake is a real issue. Google are setting their sights on fixing it currently.

iPhone isn't perfect, that's for sure, but the standby life is insane and the battery life is consistent as hell from one day to the next.

I want to combine them into one incredible os.
[Nexus 6P General] Jxcorex29:
Can't explain why Google is Google,but that doesn't mean I'll suddenly switch to iOS simply because there are small issues that can be easily fixed by having portable chargers. I'm not going to move from PS4 to Xbox all because I like one game (Halo).
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
I never said anything about you moving to another os.

Just that they both have good points and can learn a lot from each other.
[Nexus 6P General] MrWilsonxD:
I would wait for the oneplus 5 if you're thinking of upgrading. It's old a few months away.

I have the oneplus 3 and it's fantastic.
[Nexus 6P General] Samuel Holland:
Preferred set-up

I'm using Spigen thin plastic case & a glass screen protector. The case is just big enough for the screen to not touch when placing face down. You can pick these up on Amazon for a nice price and it has all the cut outs for fingerprint and camera. It still fits in my shirt pocket as this is my preferred set-up. If I had to do it again I would make the same choice.
[Nexus 6P General] jejb:
Completely agree. As a programmer, I don't mind the effort to root and play around, but have found not having to do that with my S7E has been a very liberating thing. I can theme it easily, block ad's, etc w/o rooting. And it has outstanding battery life with NO tweaks. No greenify, no doze controller, no nothing. I did have to do those things on my 6P. S7E is just stock, for both MM and Nougat. By far, the most satisfying smart phone I've ever owned.
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
I have yet to hear of anyone with happy support from Huawei. It sucks here too.
[Nexus 6P General] Balino:
I'm on a op3t now and I could not be more happy. I'm not a "new phone hunter". I'm enjoying this phone a lot, it flies, I doubt someone will make a phone much better than this during 2017, just a little bit maybe. I'm happy with it. And finally sold that piece of metal branded Huawei for 300€. Thanks god!
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
The 6P promised a lot but ultimately was let down by terrible Huawei build quality.
[Nexus 6P General] MrWilsonxD:
I agree. Op3 performance outclassed all other android from 2016 in my opinion, it fell short in water resistance, micro sd, speakers, etc. Only competition is pixel.

I definitely think it will be the phone to beat performance wise in 2017. This sucker just runs so smooth... Plus dev community helps with that even more
[Nexus 6P General] keynith:
Waiting to see what Google announces, but most likely I'll be looking at the new one plus more so. Google could have a great phone, but I doubt they will be able to keep up with demand
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
Just ordered the spec-tacular Galaxy S8 Plus Phablet badboy! But will keep my reliable Nexus6p! :)
[Nexus 6P General] tafo:
I bought recently pixel xl 128 gb...but with all the drawbacks of nexus 6p and the glory of pixel line..i felt its an incremental update and not worth of paying ~900$..i returned it and i ill keep nexus 6p for a while​( im planning to replace the battery and we will see hows things goes) im considering OnePlus one 5 to be my next move due to the promising development foundation that opo 3t based on.
[Nexus 6P General] FlamingAngel82:
Every single time I look at a new phone, I just keep coming back to the 6p. The Pixel is an incremental upgrade at best for me, and same with the Oneplus 3T. Depending on the new Oneplus announcement, I'll consider my options, but right now, I still very much love my 6p.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
If Google rereleased the 6p with a stronger body and updated processor, I would totally buy one. I still think it looks and feels great. The body is pretty cheaply made and obviously it could use updated specs if it was to happen, but I still think it's an all around good phone.
[Nexus 6P General] Deeco7:
Will wait for Pixel 2, but knowing google it will be a disappointment!
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
The design was the worst part imo. The second one should really do something to stand out.
[Nexus 6P General] soviety:
I would stay on the 6P for 7 years, but the early shutdown issue is a huge problem
[Nexus 6P General] @work:
I went with a v20. I had to switch anyways since this garbage phone went into bootloops on me. I had forgotten what it was like to have a phone that could last a whole day on a single charge with normal for me use. I had forgotten what it was like to have an unbent phone. I had forgotten what it was like to be able to run a battery to zero before the phone shut off. I had forgotten what it was like to swap a battery. I had forgotten what it was like to not experience throttling after a couple minutes. I had forgotten what it was like to not have a new bug every month. I had forgotten what it was like to have quality sound from a headphone jack. Had forgotten what it was like to not have to hunt for a hackjob custom OS to make up for the shortfalls of Google.

If you get the chance, escape from 6p hell. If the phones build quality hadn't been utter ****e I may still be stuck in it with you guys.
[Nexus 6P General] Balino:
That's right. The phone itself is good, the build quality is very cheap. Huawei is a shame, and Google isn't been able to keep nexus 6p users buy his phone because of the lack of support. That's it. I would never have left my 6p, it's been the best experience i never had on a phone, but with all those sort of problems it became impossible to keep living with it
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
I've been using the 6P for 8 months constantly and am totally happy with it. Nor do I find the external build quality low. I always have a case for my phones anyway.

So I'll probably keep it till the phone dies and 2y warranty has ended. Toys are cool but they are toys and I've other priorities. After 2y I will see if I go on with a Google phone. It has to be rootable and unless it's a Google phone then LineageOS has to be supported.
[Nexus 6P General] Jep56:
To be honest, I was thiiis close to going back to the Galaxy S3, because of it's ease to root and install custom ROMS. Brand new ones are still out there for $135. But I got a very little used 6P for $350, and I love it. I had an S7 Edge....for about a week. It was what ATT sent me as a replacement for a Nexus 6. S& Edge is a POS. I like the 6P, and am totally getting away from ATT's stupid Next Plan. I also have a BLU R1 HD as a backup, debloated and rooted. Awesome phone for $60.
[Nexus 6P General] @work:
Two years is sweet. In the USA it's only one year, not that it helped. Huawei pretended I didn't exist until my 1 year warranty expired. Good luck.
[Nexus 6P General] rzracer2:
First off only you can decide if the 6P is not doing it for you. For me in the last year I'm bought and sold a lot, 6P,S7 (both), OP3, iphone 7, Axon 7, Leeco Pro 3. Now I'm back to a 6P. I never rooted the S7's for fear of tripping Knox. The OP3 is great device and I will buy the 2017 version when released but not the 3T as it would be like buying last years phone and the camera is no better than the 6P. Although the 6P is getting old it's still doing all I ask of it and having the latest Google images means a lot to me. I also love the flat glass that can properly take a tempered glass screen protector, this might be the last premium phone to sport flat glass.
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
You can't always win ;) In EU we don't always have a way to do a class action. We have it in France since a year but never heard of a single case and there was a huge pressure from industry to block this law (false argument was that it could be abused)

But yes this 2y warranty on anything (not only phones) is very good for the consumer. It includes battery, screen etc.. it even got stronger here last year (now it's up to the company to prove you did the damage not anymore the other way around).

But that's rather normal actually. How can you not force companies to ensure you that their 600 bucks/euros should work for 2y!! Are you supposed to pay 600 every year!?

In any case when dealing with such situations against big companies, it's good to be formal with written proof (letter which mentions the consumer law). No wasted time for both parties... no discussion...Next step is my lawyer (which is free also for such small cases) but that's only for rare cases when the person on the other side has no clue.
[Nexus 6P General] matique:
I don't know if google made any revisions to the alloy of the housing but my replacement housing kinda feels stronger than the original one. My 6p suffered the dreaded volume button area bend.
[Nexus 6P General] murso74:
7.1.2 has turned my phone into a laggy horrible nightmare. Was trying to wait for the pixel 2, but I might not make it
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
Doesn't sound normal. Might want to try a factory reset.
[Nexus 6P General] condor97:
Mine did too. Did they do a warranty replacement?
[Nexus 6P General] matique:
I was out of warranty haha. I asked them to replace the battery, and in the process they themselves botched the install of the housing so they placed new one for me. I only needed to pay the price for replacing the battery, which was around USD$35 for parts and labour.
[Nexus 6P General] condor97:
Nice! I might try a warranty replacement on mine. That shouldn't happen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turague:
Hi,

I've been experimenting with removing low quality technology time from my day to day to improve well being and simply make more time for other things! I find it easy to end up on youtube or browsing for hours aimlessly.. especially when I am burnt out after a days work.

I previously put my laptop and cellphone in the garage and that worked fairly well but also cut me off from phone calls which was the trade off. I found this great, especially if I did it the night before.

The main sources of distraction I see are a result of Data. If I don't have data I can't browse, I also can't go on YouTube. Yet I still have the benefit of using maps (offline), journaling, evernote (offline), photos, alarm clock, music player.

I've tracked my time on my cell phone weekly and I think I waste somewhere between 9 - 18 hours browsing or watching youtube. My issue isn't the time, but the fact that none of that left a mark on me as something I loved doing.. and that I think is a sign of life truly lost!

I thought if I put my SIM into a non-smart phone I can still call and text and use my smart phone for all the benefits I listed above. My only concern is WiFi... having a simple on-off switch on wifi makes it too easy to use. Do you have any idea of how I create more barriers to WiFi?

For my laptop I've uninstalled the wifi driver and keep it on my screen in a zip file for re-installation if needed. (it's too much work if I'm lazy... and yes this does work.

My goal is to increase the barriers to doing the lazy short term gratifying activities (which I don't enjoy but do out of shear habit) and to make it easier to do the things I value- friends, family, cooking, reading, ect... I find I enjoy these activities once I get into them, it's just the initial barrier.

I don't know if I am the only one that has these thoughts, if you do and have ideas for solutions please share!

Thanks.

Hi,

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S6 Flat (SM-G920F)

I flashed a different version of the same kernel I had because call audio wasn't working and now I'm left with an even bigger issue.

If I press on the left side on the screen it clicks on the right and the other way around... buttons respond completely different than normal.... even in recovery it's messed up.

I worked my way into installing the previous kernel but my button/screen is still messed up.. I literally have no idea what to do................ Can anybody help me in this because I'm literally pulling my hair.

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] CerealLord:
Hey all,

First time posting, but have been rooting all my android phones using different guides on xda. This one, however, I am having issues with. I have a Moto G4, Amazon subsidized phone, running on Verizon. Whenever I install a custom rom LTE works until I reboot. Once I reboot, it shows 3G regardless of where I am and runs at those reduced speeds.

I have tried Ressurection, Lineage, CM and AOKP. I have two of these phones and on one I upgraded to N firmware and still had the issue. On the one I am using, I am flashing over the stock firmware and all works great until that first reboot regardless of what it is for.

Even if I revert back to a backup made in TWRP, it does not recognize LTE so it makes me think some type of setting is swapping over but I cannot figure out what it is.

Any ideas would be great. I can provide any other information needed, as this is my first time making a post so was unsure what to include. Also, I apologize if this is answered somewhere as my search-fu was failing me.

Thank you!

EDIT: If I restore back to stock firmware using fastboot and lock the bootloader, LTE returns.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to know how many of you ditched the Xposed on marshmallow for the latest 7.1.1 Android based oxygenos?

Since we don't know when nougat will be supported by xposed, is staying on marshmallow worth it?

Even though most of the modules I use are more or less esthetical, there's one thing I can't live without - youtube background playback and ad block.

Share your thoughts!
