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.

Yeah, I plan on doing that the next time I have the cable with me. I probably should already have done that, though I did use Ampere. I don't remember exactly what the charging current was, but it wasn't higher than it should be.

I assume that you're referring to my post. Yes, I have found a few reviews stating that it isn't compliant and I know I may be taking a risk. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find that cable on Benson's list. I got it because with the discount, it was free. I don't use it very often, but I'll...

I got this cable from Amazon, due to getting a discount. I use it at work with a 2.4a charger, and it has worked well so far.

How long should it take to be able to use the PayPal transaction ID to unlock premium features? I donated yesterday at 2:05 PM MST, but I still get the message "Unable to find record for specified transaction ID" when attempting to activate it.

Thank you for this information! This is exactly what I was looking for. One quick question though: Does it matter if you are encrypted/decrypted?

This is very true. The things one person likes/dislikes about a phone, you may feel differently about. I gave some of my impressions above, but you'll ultimately have to get some hands-on time with it to know for sure.

So far for me, the only thing I don't like is not being able to tweak the way Ambient display works. It's only on or off. But I'm nitpicking here and it isn't really even a con, and certainly not a hardware thing. Otherwise, I've been loving it! I don't believe you'd regret your decision if you...

Thanks for the response. I just wanted to make sure that it is working as intended, even though I'd like to tweak it a bit.

I have a couple of questions about this. 1) With Ambient display enabled, the screen pops on when a notification comes through, or when I pick up the device. If Ambient display is disabled, the screen doesn't wake for either circumstance. - The way I would like to have it, is where the screen...

The USB Type-C to A cable is short, but I just use a Type-A USB extender cable that I had lying around to make it longer. Short-cable problem solved.

How would one go about doing that? This is my first venture into sideloading official updates, so please pardon all the questions. Do you happen to have a link to a guide for doing this?

Quick question here: I have unlocked the bootloader as well and rooted. If I sideload an update, will user data/settings stay intact?

It worked for me at first as well, but now it isn't. Very strange indeed.

Four days of use on my 64GB graphite so far, and no issues yet. This is my first Nexus device and I'm loving it! I used a Galaxy S4 from AT&T (with a GPE ROM) before this, with an unlocked bootloader (caught it before the update that locked it). From then on, as far as I'm aware, all AT&T...

It is a bit of a hard pill to swallow to spend that much on a case. But it fits really well and provides good protection without being too bulky (for my taste). Plus I like the grippy ribs. I had this same case on my S4 for almost 2 1/2 years, and it survived several drops/falls. One was a fall...

Here are some pictures that I took with my work iPhone 6.

When I get a chance, I sure will.

My phone came in yesterday, and the case today. The case feels good and fits great! I figured it would, since I used the same on my Galaxy S4, but I thought I'd let y'all know. ---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ---------- Mine just came in today. It...

It went out for delivery this morning at 8:12 AM MST. Luckily, my wife is home to receive the package, because I'd prefer to not have it just sitting outside. Now to finish up the work day and get home so I can toy with it!

I can't stand to put anything but a piece of paper in my back pocket, much less a large phone.

- I ordered a 64GB Graphite on 28 Oct. - The order went from Pending to Processing on 6 Nov. at about 4:30 PM MST. - I received an email today (9 Nov.) at 6:27 AM MST that the order had shipped. - It was automatically upgraded to FedEx Standard Overnight shipping at no charge and should be here...

Did you create an account, just to post this? Providing even the least bit of evidence may be helpful. Some pictures or a video would be good.

Thankfully, I rarely use my phone for video, as I have a dedicated video camera for that. Though if/when I do use it for video, it'll be good enough for me. Other than that, I don't see any issues for me with this phone. I'm just ready to get that shipment notification from Google, so I'll know...

I'm going for the black one again, because I like a more subdued look. I do see the white w/ black ribs option available too. I know for the Galaxy S4 they had more color options, so I reckon it's possible they may have more for the 6P later on.

Haha, well that makes sense. Luckily, I didn't see any of my relatives using it on a phone that I don't like ;) . I know it isn't the best-looking case, but I like it alright. Plus I know from experience that it works well, without being too bulky for my liking.

I believe I'm going to have to go with the Speck CandyShell Grip case. I've used it for almost 2 1/2 years on my Galaxy S4 and it has been great! Several drops and falls here and there, with no damage. Plus I love the hard rubberized ribs for grip. Even with pulling it in and out of my pocket...

I froze the update service(s) right after I got the phone new, so my bootloader was never locked. I later installed a custom ROM, then recently switched to this one.

Thanks! I just want to say thanks to all who made this ROM happen and continue to support it. I have the AT&T model (SGH-I337) and disabled it's ability to update when I first got it, so the bootloader is still unlocked. I eventually went to another ROM, but unknown to me at that time, further...

Ah, I see now. Thanks DIXZ06. You have to be in input mode (keyboard on-screen) in order for the option to appear. I assumed it would always be there, which would be more convenient (when switching to/from something like Sixaxis Controller). Either way, this is still useful.

IME Switcher issue I tried a forum search for this, but any term I used (including just ime) returned no results. I have enabled the IME Switcher in Settings > My device > Display, but I see nothing added to the status bar. I have also restarted after enabling the option. Is there something...

I've had my AT&T S4 since June last year, and I'll be keeping it until about June next year. Being rooted with a custom ROM, I have no need to upgrade until then.

I saw this line too when messing with the battery settings and I thought it was some sort of glitch. After messing with it some more, I found out that it was the Show Battery Bar option (at Settings-> My device-> Display-> MIUI BatteryBar Options) being enabled that caused it. You can also...

Thanks sylsau! Seems like a great app so far. I do have a few suggestions. Would it be too much trouble to add an undo, and maybe redo, option? That way you could quickly delete something you've drawn without having to whip out the eraser. Maybe a fill option? I've also noticed that the...

Thanks for the info. I may check out the StockUp ROM.

I had pretty much the same question. I'm still on stock MDL, and have been wanting to update to MK2. Is there any way to do this by skipping MF3 and without locking the bootloader? I'd prefer to use stock MK2 for now, but not if it'll cost me locking the bootloader. Maybe a modified, but still...
