    Post Nexus Player suddenly dead?

    Someone else finally got a hold of warranty or tech support and was told for the low price of $60 dollars the can fix it. Rip off. I will probably pick up another Shield console since it is the best and very well supported.

    Post Nexus Player suddenly dead?

    Like I said before over a year ago it was working fine. I disconnected when a found my Shield console (packed up during a move). A couple of days ago I brought it back up to connect it to another TV. The white light came on. No video signal no audio. Changed cable and TV. Nothing searched and...

    A bad Play store update should not totally brick a device. That's crazy. No bootloader? Makes no sense at all.

    Post Can't cast from PC

    Surprised yours is still working. I suspect Google is intentionally nuking Nexus Players. Many people complaining as of August of boot loops and bricked players.

    Planned obsolescence unless you pay $60. should be a class action lawsuit. After being in the closet unused for a year I pulled it out and nothing but the little light. This is obviously intentional. They knew at worked to well and where afraid nobody would buy a newer model. ---------- Post...

    So we are close to fully functional. Please keep posting so we know when Gamma and second screen will work together. Great work here. One more thing with LOS 15.1 w/o Gamma kernel I would get a kernel crash sometimes while left charging. Hopefully Gamma kernel will be better.

    OK. I am using stock. I will try the gamma kernel. Volume is a bit low on my Final iems. It sounds very good like running an external DAC but the volume doesn't get loud. Anyone try the Gamma kernel with as rom?

    Lineage OS 15.1 is awesome compared to stock. There are some minor issues they are working out but it is worth it for the smoothness and speed alone. Almost as smooth as my Pixel XL.

    Seriously what a difference from stock! LG really messed up the software side. Feels a lot like my Pixel now. Love it so far! Any special settings to use the DAC? Or is it just sending all audio out it when headphones connected?

    That guy sounds very cynical. Considering he is in the industry he probably has every phone out there unlike some of us that can't afford to buy another phone. If he doesn't like it why does he bother reporting it?

    Maybe they can also make a high-end camera mod too with zoom lens and large sensor for good night shots. If they could do this it should give the company the kick it needs.
