[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
New in box Nexus 6 devices come with Android 5.0 standard, thus yours isn't new if it comes with Android 6.0.1. Updates are not tied to having carrier service, but if you want stock Android 7.1.1 on the device you'll have to flash a ROM using ADB (Android Debug Bridge). OTA (Over The Air) updates for the Nexus 6 do not go past Android 7.0.0, even though Android 7.1.1 ROMs are available for download from Google. For more information on how to manually update the N6, please check out the sticky posts in the General forum.

P.S. None of this requires root.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead14:
Hmm, well mine was sealed when I got it, so how can that be? I would manually update, as I'm not new to rooting (have had rooted Galaxy S3, Sony Xperia Z3C, etc), but unfortunately, I'm one of those unlucky ones that have that dreaded "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) when connecting to Windows 10. I see that plenty of other Nexus owners have had this issue as well. I can't for the life of me solve this, and I've tried every suggestion I've googled. Any idea how else I can update without using a computer, or maybe you know a workaround to this Windows 10 BS?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
"New" Nexus 6: Was your box shrinkwrapped? If so, it's a rewrap as Nexus 6 boxes do not come shrinkwrapped. On a new Nexus 6 you have a label that must be cut to get into the box. In this case, the version of Android on your device is a dead giveaway that it isn't new. I purchased mine brand new from Amazon 19 months ago, when Android 6.x was readily available for the device, and out of the box it came with Android 5.0.

Unknown USB issue: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/fix-unknown-usb-device-device-t3375320

I can't guarantee the above will be of much help as I don't have this issue on any of my Windows 10 devices.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul1201:
Do you have a phone with the same size SIM chip? Have you tried just putting it into the Nexus 6 to see if it will update that way?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead14:
Not shrinkwrapped. Just the sticker cover on the box sealing it. Anyway, I saw that link, but not sure what key would be appropriate for the Nexus 6, as the key the poster wrote on that might be for the HTC? I think i would need to change that to the device ID for this, but since my computer won't even recognize the N6, no details appear for me. WOuld you happen to know it? Thanks

I have one in my iPhone. Not sure if it's the same size, but will try that. I was hoping I wouldn't have to ever put a SIM in this, but I'm at last resort now.

[MENTION=2938050]radiohead14[/MENTION] - There were a lot of problems with the early MM releases and windows drivers.

Can you try booting to a Linux flash drive? Then you could use ADB to sideload 5.1.1. Then go back to windows and I'll bet it finds the phone correctly. You should be good to go upgrading again after doing that. Once windows finds the phone, you should be ok in the future.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead14:
I was able to upgrade to 7.0 after putting my SIM in (so I guess updates are tied to having carrier service), but in-between the updates from 6.0.1, i kept testing the USB connection. unfortunately it still won't get recognized, so at this point, I don't think it's the Android version. I'm just gonna return it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
I certainly understand not wanting to deal with it. Particularly if your not comfortable with Linux. The thing is, the advice to roll back to 5.1.1 was specific as the last release that had a high probability of working with win10. If you are somewhat comfortable with Linux, it's easier to get it connected and will help prove whether it's the device or win10.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead14:
Ok, I'll give it a shot. Do you have a link where I could follow instructions to how? Thanks!

How to create a bootable Linux Mint USB drive using Windows Accurate, though the current release of mint is 18. You could use Ubuntu (Mint is a derivation of Ubuntu) but I link to mint because most users find it easier.

For Nexus 4 but still accurate for N6. Not mentioned is;

in some cases it's also needed to restart adb with:

adb kill-server

adb start-server

Or completely reboot the system

I assume you know this, but as a reminder, If you have just enabled the ADB debug option on your phone and created a new connection, the ADB command might list your device as unauthorized. Just check the screen of your phone then to authorize the new connection.

In case you hadn't seen this thread: nexus 6 one beginners guide.

I would be happy to help you through this. The only thing is I'm traveling the next 2 days so it will be intermittent and late before I can get on a computer ;)

P.S.

the "sudo" command referenced is to gain elevated privileges. you shouldn't be prompted to enter a password when using a bootable flash drive.

the "whoami" command will tell you who you are logged in as.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rkingsparx81:
Is there a way to temp root TMobile LG G6 I hate this floating call timer. I'm on the verge of selling this phone because of this stupid timer. It's always in the way and I'm tired of moving it around.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MrDeacon:
If you're thinking about selling your phone because of this, I'd say go ahead. My guess is that you're unhappy with it overall, because few people would change phones because they were tired to move a little timer around.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] skyfox99:
There is no way to root the Tmo version at this time. It seems pretty close on the horizon, though. I, too, agree that the floating timer is a dumb idea, especially without the option to disable it. I hated it on the G5, too.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] daniLaLaLaLaLa:
That floating call timer existed since the G3 era if i'm not mistaken.. i also noticed that on LG V10 and V20, there was no floating call timer ( probably because of that secondary screen ) but it existed in V30..

For me, it is annoying sometimes to see that bar floating around especially when i'm doing my work while on call with loudspeaker mode..

And sometimes, it is very useful to me..
[AT&T LG V10] ShahwaleedButt:
All of a sudden my phone started rebooting on its own. Then while using it started to vibrate for like 10 seconds until I removed the battery. Then I turned it on and on the home screen it stuck. I had to pull out the battery. and since then it wont turn on! When i push the power button it vibrates like it does on the startup but theres no display. Two times in the process, " battery too low to turn on" message has been displayed & nothing else! same vibrates at startup and no display problem. HELP
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kittiyut:
I'm trying to enable Samsung Pass (Under Settings -> Lock screen and security) but keep getting "Your device has been rooted. Samsung Pass cannot be used on rooted devices for security reasons."

Well, my device is NOT rooted!!! I can use Samsung Pay - can't use that if I'm rooted, can I?

The only thing I can think of is that I enabled developer options, but that's been turned off.

Obviously rebooting doesn't help.

Any ideas?

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] pirilampus:
Hello guys,

I was hoping to know if you also have this effect on your oneplus 5's.

The best way to describe is when you are on dark screens like twitter's night mode and you have some images with dark margins.

When you scroll up or down, does it appear a trail that disappears after some miliseconds? Like the screen refreshing itself making that trail disappear.

If you wanna try do this: twitter, night mode, follow for instance Nvidia (his logo is black and dark). Then go to home screen of twitter and try to find a nvidia's twitt. When you find it, look to his logo and go up and down. Do you notice something on the image itself? Like a trail of black pixels or blur effect that disappear after a while?

Hope that you can understand me.

Edit: don't know if I can post links here, if not please tell me that I remove it. This link is from Reddit where it appears an image where you can try this effect:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/34t923/is_your_screen_defective_test_for_yourself_by/

Edit 2: it appears that the effect is more visible on low screen brightness

Best regards.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] RenderBroken:
Yes, I have noticed it as well though I also had it on my OP3. I think it is more of a thing with OLED screens and low brightness.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] MrWilsonxD:
Yes, I agree. As this happened on my note 4 as well as my axon 7, oneplus 3 and oneplus 5
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] S0DAzz:
Yep, I've experienced that once. Dark purple logo on black screen
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] nds850:
It happens on Amoled screens when the backlight is low. I have seen the same thing on all my Samsung phones as well.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] oVeRdOsE.:
I also confirm, low brithness OLED screen (samsung s3, s4, s5, s7, op3, op5)

oled are good for low battery consumption and high contrast ratio (blacks).

Otherwise, lcd pannels will be faster and more accurate with colors.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Aj-jss:
Hi guys my Axon 7 is running the latest update (7.1.1) and my battery's temperature is 29°c (84.2°F) when idling and the room's temperature is also 29°c, but when I start using social media apps like Instagram and Snapchat ,it gets around 37°(98.6°F)and if I use Chrome for web surfing it easily gets up to 40°c(104°F), so is this normal for Axon 7? And also if I use so heavy multitasking like downloading over mobile data, watch online videos , two sims both activated , and ten other apps open at the same time but no games , the temperature sometimes goes up to 45°c(113°F). What is your Axon 7's battery temperature in different situations?(I have no battery draining issues) please also mention the room temperature that you're in. CpuTemp app shows the temperature of CPU and battery nearly the same and I think because Axon 7 is made of metal and conductive so if the CPU get hot then the battery gets too but this isn't the case about plastic made phones. ( to see the temperature of Axon 7 go to settings/ power manager/ battery cooling)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
The CPU has one of those vapor pipes that goes from where the CPU is to roughly the center of the screen. I wouldn't be surprised if that actually heats the battery. It's somewhat cold in this time of the year where I live (no more than 20°C) but the battery only gets real hot while charging when the phone is with its back upon the bed sheets or something that doesn't conduct heat. For example I've been using Chrome and XDA Labs and it's currently at 34°C.

Isn't it the same until 50°C? 40 isn't too excessive. also keep in mind that 40° will feel MUCH hotter than, say, 50 on a plastic back phone, just like you feel that a metal is colder than a piece of plastic, both at room temperature.

I'm not using a case (lost the one that came with the phone :p ) but I'd say that's what keeps my phone from getting too hot.

After some intensive gaming I've gotten the CPU to 65°C, but if you hold the device right the battery doesn't get too hot
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Aj-jss:
But my CPU and Battery temperatures (for example on Cpu Z app) are usually the same.( In thermal section "bms" is the cpu temperature in this app) Also I don't know why the Cpu z app shows my bootloader status unknown. I have never even tried to unlock it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
You're just overreacting... The apps you are using are usually coded to work universally with as many phones as possible. Not all phones will use the same code for the thermistors or diodes for sensing temperature. For example Kernel Adiutor shows values that really make sense, for example 65°C CPU after gaming, some 40°C GPU on video playback, usually less than 35°C battery... They do make sense, and Kernel Adiutor probably needs root to get these values, while I bet CPU-Z does what it can to come up with those while not having root...

The bootloader status thing? Again, I wouldn't be surprised that ZTE did its own weird implementation of something in there, and the app isn't able to find whether it is locked or not. Why would you want to use an app to know if your bootloader is unlocked though? The phone has a big flashy warning if you unlocked it
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
There. That's after a bunch of video playback. Does it make sense?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Aj-jss:
Since I haven't got root access , I can't install this app. can you install cpu z and send a screenshot of these pages (System , Battery , Thermal) so that I can campare it to mine.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Aj-jss:
These are my info on cpu z after connect ing to mobile data , browsing , playing clash of clans (online strategy game),and watching 10 minutes 1080p movie.and my room temperature is 29°c.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
I think that you kind of missed my point though

Having up to 50°C on the battery is not too bad, and it's not like you can do too much about it. If your CPU is binned lowest, and it thermal throttles all the time, what are you going to do about it, ask for a replacement?

40°C is not too high for a battery. And all those other sensors are probably from different points of the SoC but there aren't many ways of knowing which is which.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Aj-jss:
Thanks I got you but my friend's s7 edge gets hot really less than Axon 7 after doing the same it's still 34. And I usually don't use my Axon 7 out and I think if I use it under direct sunlight out there with34°c then it gets freakishly hot.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Aj-jss:
Man when the temperature reaches to 45°c, the battery health status changes from good to unknown.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Choupis:
My uncle died and I was given his Nexus 6. I factory reset it, after which I was prompted log in with the Google account originally synced with the phone - which is his. I know his email (Gmail) but obviously not password. I've tried everything, including talking to T-Mobile, Google, Nexus, Motorola, and filling out a bereavement form with Google. I'm stuck. I want to be able to use this nice phone and gift (I lost my phone in the mountains and am using the oldie but goodie flip phone - ha!).

I think I understand that rooting means wiping out the current OS and replacing it - and this will allow me access to the phone. I've googled for some info, but most videos or articles are a year + old; I'd like most update info if anyone has it.

I got feedback from one Android forum that rooting will likely not even help me access the phone because of Factory Reset Protection.

Can anyone verify this and give me any direction?

Thank you!
