I tried a few times to get a replacement, but no such luck. All I want is a replacement 6P, and refurbished is fine. It is past the meager 1-year warranty, but I did purchase it from the Google Store. I was told the first time that the replacements many others received was only a "limited time...

This may seem stupid to ask, but how do you actually utilize SuHide? I've flashed it, but I can't seem to find the installed app to use it.

I just realized that I never came back here to update on what happened. I wound up booting into TWRP recovery, connecting to my PC via USB, backing up any data that I needed, then factory reset. That took care of it. Luckily, that also cleared up some other minor, but annoying, issues I was...

I don't really understand the part about the government requirement. Can you elaborate?

That's what I did after my Galaxy S4. I decided to get away from carrier phones, namely AT&T with their locked down phones. I went with the Nexus 6P, which of course had MM from launch back in October last year. Pure Android, first to get updates, and I can do as I wish with it. Since my wife...

Thanks! With your help, I got it going. I was messing around in the settings before, but couldn't quite figure it out.

I usually like to do things like that manually, because I like to know how things work. But I was under a bit of a time crunch at that point, so decided to try the Nexus Root Toolkit. Though I do understand the procedure of sideloading OTA updates via ADB, from researching and reading on the...

Add Adaptive Brightness toggle/switch First off, I'd like to say thank you to C3C076 for GravityBox! It's a great utility and I'd rather not do without it now. I just wanted to see if there's a way to add an Adaptive Brightness setting toggle to the pull down bar anywhere. Right now, I pull...

I was here looking for information regarding the Note 4 Marshmallow update for my wife's phone, but also noticed that you're thinking of getting a non-Samsung phone. I had a Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S4 before, which were both great, but after seeing that AT&T (our current carrier) started locking...

I forgot to mention that I also had TWRP recovery installed. The result was like it is with a normal OTA update, as none of my data/apps/settings were affected. Worked like a charm!

*EDITED* I just faced a similar situation. I was still on the stock launch image (MDA89D), but rooted and using Xposed. I just never took the time before then to update to a newer build, but finally wanted to. I was going to sideload the most recent OTA update manually via ADB. Then I realized...

I tried clearing the cache and dalvik earlier, along with deleting the GO Weather app files, but that didn't help. I thought about safe mode, but I don't see a way to do it without already being booted to Android. What if I dirty flash the same stock 6.0 ROM I'm using? I'd like to keep files...

Thanks for the link! I do have GO Weather installed, and I have no issue with getting rid of it. Although, I'm unsure how to do that since I can't boot. Any recommendations?

Update: *SOLVED* I got a strange message that popped up on my phone this morning. It stated "It's gonna rain. Take a umbrella with you:)". It stayed on top everything else and wouldn't go away. I thought that it could possibly be one of my weather apps and got stuck, so I rebooted. After that...

Yeah, that's why I originally checked it with Ampere. I don't recall right now exactly what it was, but I know it was lower than the charger's rating. That's why I continued to use it. But I'll get it checked again with both apps when able.
