Great. You also know that you do have the bootloop issue ... it just hasn't happened yet. It's a manufacturing defect so it is a WHEN not an IF.

Second (or third?) Nexus device with a known defect (N7, N5x and I believe there was something with the N5) and each time Google passed the buck.

But sure: fanboys will always buy crap from the company they love. Just be a decent human being and don't actually talk others into believing your delusions.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adobeman:
Not sure on why you are so hell bent on thinking I'm delusional. I'm speaking only of my actual experience not others. Dollar for dollar the 5X is the best I've had. I'm very aware of the boot loop issue and acknowledge it's real. I'm not convinced that it's a manufacturing defect in all 5X phones ever made though. If you have some proof of that I really would be interested in it. Really, I would. Not because I dispute what you say but because I just havn't seen any proof that it's every phone.

Truth is even if I do get the loop I only spent $250 for the thing. I've easily got my money's worth out of it when compared to >$800 other options. Phones are tools not jewels. The cheaper the better. If there's another phone you know of that's not bloated, doesn't have a modded UI, get's security updates every month and get's new Android versions promptly then I'm all ears. Seriously.

If I get a refund for my bricked 5X, I think I might get a Moto X pure.

That is what I bought my wife and its pretty reliable for her (and easy to fix, as usual she hulk smashed the screen after about 3 months and I fixed it no problem)

BUT I am also very interested to see what HMD/Nokia do with their new phones. I have always been a Nokia fan. So it would be nice to get quality hardware with a widely supported OS (my brain thinks back to my old 8800 with Symbian S40)

Pixel is the ONLY replacement for me. But:

1) Is expensive (for a 24 months update device) and we don't know whether is gonna bootloop or not.

2) Still has the same random ****ty compass decalibration that I had with my previous Nexus and only haven't had with my current work's iPhone 5S (that works amazing in any historic centre in places with tiny labyrinth streets like Barcelona). This is the worst part of the Nexus and Pixels. And still using Google Maps. I think Compass issues are one of the Top 3 complains in the Google product forums. And they still haven't fixed it in the hardware or firmware of their products..

3) still lacking the old N5 OIS. But this is compensated with the great HDR+ that only the Nexus / Pixel have. IMO.

4) And the Pixel is still big compared to the iPhones or the old Moto X or Galaxy Nexus.

Vs iPhones this is compensated with the non-physical/virtual buttons that make the phones​ easier to be used​ with one hand all the time.

(In fact I find and iPhone 7 with that terrible home button...and some back buttons..and that landscape multitasking....as difficult as a phablet, but still is a perfect size and nice shape to use with one hand)

Now Vs the old Gnexus or Moto X...is still more difficult. I'm one handing a 6P half of my time though... But I still miss the X or Gnexus shape/size.

On the contrary I used a Z5 Compact, smaller phone, and is not more comfortable than a Nexus 5...because of the terrible rectangular shape and is slippery material. So the size of the phone is not what only matters. Material and ergonomic shape is important as well.

Extra: there is still no stock, only released in 5 countries, and I'm not that hyped after so many months since release date. Specially now that I'm got a 6P with a new battery (original Huawei was terrible messed). But still is a huge phone compared to the Pixel.

And my priority:

2 > 1 > 4 > 3

BTW: I've just bought another 5X from Amazon (used) for my GF, at less than 220€. If the Manufactured date is OCT2015 I'll instant return it. Otherwise, I'll intensively try it for 30 days, if it doesn't boot loop I'll take my chances.

For the same price I was considering a Moto G5 with 3GB of RAM (this is the best part of this device) but 16GB Internal and I don't really like the camera, at least in low light, plus the SoC is old and both phones will update to Android O.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akopps:
Most of sites giving Pixel critical reviews are just whining that Google is now charging the prices like Apple, Samsung, or LG. Otherwise, its hardware remains top notch, and the software will be always ahead of competition in terms of security updates and major releases. Some people can make the case that the Samsung Galaxy S8 is now the best Android smartphone. But I suspect that people who are used to stock and lean Android ROMs and speedy software updates would disagree with that.

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

I think someone from Google or LG said that only 15% or so of those devices were affected with the bootloop problem.

The question is though, whom exactly can you trust to make a quality smartphone when the giants like Samsung and LG have been caught with their pants down a few times? You can't trust anyone any more. That's why I personally like the idea of buying a 300USD smartphone, like a Moto G5 Plus (4GB) or a Huawei Honor 8 (when they regularly go on sale). If it bootloops or explodes, it's not a huge loss. If it does not break, then you will end up with a whole lot of spare smartphones after a couple of years.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akopps:
Moto X Pure is a good value, but I think the new Moto G5 Plus (4G RAM version) has surpassed it. The problem with Moto X Pure is that Nougat is the last Android update it will ever receive (while Moto G5 Plus was launched with Nougat) and there is no fingerprint sensor. Otherwise, the big and accurate screen as well as stereo speakers still make MXP a compelling phone for a whole lot of people.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andTab:
Agree that those aren't bad phones but their size is just a huge turnoff.

Price wise they are about in the right spot: $200 - $400 should be the range for a phone that is better than the N5x at this point.

Like I said in my original post - the requirements for a proper Nexus 5x replacement:

- No phones from LG, HTC or Motorola (gotten burned once or twice by each one of these - NEVER AGAIN!)

- Phone size should be the same as Nexus 5x or smaller (ideally probably 4.5 - 5.0" screen with a high screen to body ratio)

- Camera needs to be as good or better as N5x

- Fingerprint reader and USB-C

- VoLTE on T-Mobile Band 12

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolling_thunder:
Well, my 5x got the bootloop after having it for 17 months. Which is a real shame because i really liked the phone. Happened about a week ago, happened right after i got the may security update. Being that i bought it from Amazon, they returned it, and are refunding me minus $50. So thats the best possible outcome i could have hoped for. They even sent UPS to my door with a shipping label and everything, the next day after i emailed them.

Now as far as a replacement phone, its a tough choice because what replaces a phone with good enough specs, for me, and pure android, fast updates and runs 7.1.2? Only option running the same software is the Pixel which is way too expensive so im not doing that unless i absolutely have to.

I keep mulling it over and i just cant spend $769 on a Pixel XL, so i think the only choice for me is to wait til the Oneplus 5 comes out and buy that as my 5x replacement. Really looking forward to a phone with the SD 835 and all that RAM.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] RogerSC:
I have a google Pixel on Android 7.1.2 on Verizon. I've had wifi calling activated the whole time that I've had the Pixel, on various cell providers, until yesterday. Decided to root my phone to be able to use "Radio Control", an app that will put the phone into Airplane mode when connected to wifi. Did that yesterday, and since then I've not been able to activate wifi calling. My phone is stock other than being rooted...I tried the Radio Control app, and it worked as it should. I've just removed it again, until I can get wifi calling activated. Oh, by the way, rooted by unlocking the bootloader, putting TWRP recovery on the phone, and then installing SuperSu via TWRP.

I've tried:

-Flushing app caches in "Storage", and flushing the phone app cache.

-Having "My Verizon" app on the phone.

-Resetting network settings.

-Activating with and without being in Airplane mode, always with wifi connected, though.

-Removing and restoring "Advanced Calling" setting.

The only thing I haven't tried is that one with the live chicken, a pentagram, and incense. That's my next thing to try.

Any suggestions? I'm really amazed that I can't activate wifi, since Verizon suggests this to stabilize wifi calling for their customers. I guess that they've never actually tried it themselves. Does anyone have wifi calling activated on a rooted Pixel? Do you remember doing anything in particular to get wifi activated, other than trying repeatedly to turn it on in the phone's settings?

By the way, the reason that wifi calling doesn't seem to work well on Verizon isn't wifi calling functionality, wifi calling itself works fine. It's because Verizon only allows the setting "Cellular preferred" for wifi calling. You cannot set "Wifi preferred" for wifi calling. This means that the cell radio is busy nearly all the time in a low cell signal area (like my house), working to make the cell signal usable. I noticed that there was much less battery drain while I was testing "Radio Control" since the phone was in Airplane mode, but I didn't have wifi calling activated at that point. Wifi was connected (of course), but wifi calling was not activated.

I hope that this is all clear, and that someone out there might remember something helpful for me. Or at least be able to tell me that wifi calling can or can't be activated on a rooted phone. If I can't root and get wifi calling activated, I'm going to sell the Pixel, as it doesn't meet my needs. I also have an iPhone that works perfectly with wifi calling on Verizon, but I'd much rather be using the Pixel.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Droid1019:
I'm on Verizon and had that happen and found it was because of the theme i was using. Just had to reapply the theme to settings and all fixed. Also, I just checked the settings and you can set it to WiFi preferred.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] RogerSC:
Sounds good, just a couple of questions. First, which theme? Where do you access the particular theme in settings that you're referring to? The only theme that I've changed from default is the keyboard theme.

The other question is how can you change the wifi calling setting to WiFi preferred? Do you click on the wifi calling setting that has "Cellular preferred", and a menu comes up that includes "WiFi preferred"? I don't get that menu when I click on that setting, all I get is a setting for "roaming", and for 911 address, nothing else.

Also, which Android build are you on? I'm on Android 7.1.2, build NHG47K. Are you on that build? Or maybe N2G47E? I was wondering about that.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Droid1019:
I'm on the 7.1.2 K build with a downloaded theme-not in settings. I think you have to set up the emergency address for wifi calling to work. And yes it's roaming preferences where you can change to WiFi preferred.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] RogerSC:
Just did a factory reset to try removing root and then activating wifi calling unrooted. Then add root again and see if wifi calling sticks or goes away....

So I'm currently unrooted and am not able to activate wifi calling. Sounds like time for a call to Verizon...Should be able to activate wifi calling with stock ROM. Have done this one before *smile*.

Things are not going well...looks like the Pixel may be heading out the door, too much time spent for no results.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Droid1019:
Did you update emergency address? That's has to be set up for wifi calling to work. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-208085/
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] siopaor:
Any other tips to get wifi calling enable? Whenever I click enable, it just goes to a generic error message and then nothing. So I can't even get to the screen to enter an emergency address. I have a ticket open with Verizon, but since I have an unlocked bootloader, I don't want to do a warranty exchange.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] RogerSC:
The rest of the story, used iPhone 6S Plus for a couple of months so that I could use wifi calling at home, and sold the Pixel. I did get very tired of the iPhone, even though wifi calling works perfectly on the iPhone on Verizon. So I got the new Verizon 4G/LTE Network Extender so I wouldn't need wifi calling here at home. That's allowed me to get another Pixel phone and use it at home without relying on wifi calling, now have 4/5 bars of cellular signal strength throughout my house. The Network Extender is a really nice piece of hardware, a great upgrade for the old 3G model that had no way to tell what was going on. The new 4G/LTE model has a web admin GUI page that has all kinds of useful status information on it. As well as a one-line display that shows each step in the startup sequence as it comes up.

The new Pixel works just as the old one with wifi calling on Verizon. "Cellular preferred" is the only setting available for wifi calling. Which means that if there's a low cell signal it will generally be used in preference to a strong wifi signal. Don't know why Verizon insists on this setting, I guess that they really don't want to support reliable wifi calling on the Pixel. I've thought about rooting my phone again to see if can get wifi calling working reliably, but now that the Pixel is able to use wifi calling and I don't need wifi calling at home, I'm inclined to leave it alone. In other words, getting wifi calling working perfectly isn't a good enough reason for me to root my phone *smile*. I can root it in the future if I have a good enough reason.

So the bottom line is that I'm pretty happy with the Pixel now, works as I need it to...just tried the Android O Beta, and liked what I saw there. Really glad that I'm back on Android.

Update: found an article here about how to change calling setting to "Wi-Fi preferred" for Pixel on Verizon...tried it and worked for me:

Hi,

I am by no means tech savvy with my BA. Overtime, I have managed to upgrade mine from 2003 to wm6. And each time I did it, i held my breathe....lol

Since my searching the forums, I only see support for the 4 gig non sdhc cards...I have a 4 gig non sdhc capacity card now and it works fine.....and yes, I see all the complaints about posting on the sdhc compliant cards. I am aware the driver for the sd reader, has to be custom written specifically for the BA, since the BA was not designed to upgraded to wm6 in the first place. Is the 5.2.1933 compatible with sdhc protocol itself? I am seeing that some of the newer htc phones may nor may not be sdhc compatible as well.

Well, has anyone tried a Sd-micro Sd adapter, like this one, and just skip SD and move to microSD. There is 6 gig card in the below link.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?page=2&Nav=|c:1579|&Sort=4&Recs=10

There is already a 8 gig coming, found one for 135.00 and now, I stumbled across a 12 announced like 8 days ago at engadget.

Anyone tried any of this, the microSD adapter? This is an external bypass i would think, but with these cooked roms, I never know what works and what doesn't. I can't get my phone to turn off using the com manager, (i am not complaining, I just know there are still issues with WM6 not being bug free)

Would you have a speed issue? In other words, yes, i know there is a hack, to get music to not skip, that has to do with the bit rate transfer. That is the bug fix for that issue. Would you get more problems like this adapter, due to the driver and/or incompatibilty of transfer rates?

edit: I am using 5.2.1933 build
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jakubd:
Answer is simple: If the MicroSD card is a normal SD, it will work. If it's SDHC, it won't. MicroSD adapter is just a size converter: there is no electronics inside. SD card, miniSD and microSD are identical from protocol point of view. SD and SDHC is identical. They have just different sizes.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] TTboy404:
Thanks for the reply.

i think all the new big gig cards are gonna be sdhc or sd 2.0 compliant. I am still struggling with all these things, sd 1 sd 1.1 sd 2.0, micro, mini etc. It is so confusing.

Guess its time for a touch cruise. It has gps:)

There are 8gb standard sd cards on ebay. Anyone used any one of those? I bought one but found it was a 4gb hacked to display 8gb and had read and write errors and subsequently was useless. Are there any genuine standard non-sdhc 8 gb cards out there?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jakubd:
It is not technically possible to do SD non-HC card over 4GB. Normal SD ends on 1GB, with some tricks you gen achieve up to 4GB with limited compatibility. But there is no way to have non-HC cards bigger than 4GB.
