    Thread I can't flash my Nexus 6

    I have been away from Android for a little while - but I'm coming to sell my Nexus 6, and so I'm attempting to flash the latest OS from google. I downloaded 6.0.1 from google, and then worked through these steps: fastboot flash bootloader C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/bootloader.img fastboot...

    Post N6 Battery Life [owners thread]

    I just passed on my nexus 6 to the wife which replaces her nexus 5, which was also handed down by me. Due to a lack of android devices that actually impress me either being out, or will soon be out (damn you Samsung for disappointing me again!) for now I have defected and bought an iphone 6...

    Post Nexus 6 signal/reception quality vs Note 4

    Like you, I owned a note 4. I disliked many things about the phone, but the two main things that got me to sell it were the unacceptable speed, and poor cell reception. I replaced it with a nexus 6, and im now way happier with both the speed and signal strength. I remember looking into the...

    Post Exynos vs Snapdragon - latest thoughts?

    I had the n910c exynos. Experienced minor lag only when using the app switcher / previous apps button. Was a lot slower to open apps than the nexus 6 I sold it for. Didn't like the poor signal strength, which is ultimately why I sold the phone, however, I can't say whether any of that was...

    Post Note C

    I see your point, and its something that annoys me too, but if you are going to buy something, you research what it is you are going to buy, and make sure the seller is aware of what they are selling... If the seller doesn't know, buy from someone who does

    Post So happy with my Nexus 6

    I can now answer my own question regarding signal strength as I've been out and bought a nexus 6. It tramples all over the note 4 on signal strength and quality. On my desk at work, with the note 4, I had to hold the phone a certain way and it would go between 0 and 1 bars of 3g signal, move...

    It sure is unlocked.... all they mean is that every galaxy note is region locked... this means that the first sim you HAVE to put in it should be one from a European carrier.
