I'm wanting to upgrade to the nexus 6p 128gb but am not sure if I should wait? What do you guys think? Are there any bugs or anything I should wait to get sorted out before purchasing? I'm on Verizon so I should just be able to put my sim card right in right? I have a Galaxy note 3 right now but the lack of ROMs and developer support is horrible. Can't wait for Cyanogen Mod and all that good stuff with the nexus 6p but I'm not sure if I should wait. Also are there any cases like the otter box defender with a built in screen protector that I can order for it?

If you didnt get it day 1 I would probably wait to let the dust settle down. I say this because I remember buy the Nexus 5 day 1 and I remember later couple months Google made some minor tweaks to the design. I just got spigen case (they released it last week) and its pretty awesome. For screen I am using skinomi and thts the only screen protector I found in amazon that doesn't block the sensor.

I wouldn't wait. You need to experience this. It is the smoothest phone I have ever used. And I've had every "flagship" there ever was.(iphones included) The Note 5 is atrocious in fluidity next to this thing. You can pop a sim card in it and go on Verizon. ( though I've seen some complaints of mms problems) As far as custom roms go, I would learn to use gravity box if you don't know now. Im not sure of the status of xposed on 6.0. Stock with your own tweaks blows CM away I think. I bought an i-blason holster case for mine which I'm actually VERY impressed with. It doesn't have a built in protector. It was only 12 bucks though!! This phone is just too big to go into a pocket.
^^^ this phone is great so far and activating it on Verizon was no problem at all

I came from a note 3. The 6P blows it out of the water, you won't believe how crazy smooth the 6P is. Love love it. Dooooo eeetttt.
Thread like this one never make sense to me... Do 5 minutes search on the forum and get a general idea then decide.
Just want to make sure there isn't anything that needs to be fixed by Google before I make my purchase. Also how has battery life been for everyone?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Here are my thoughts on the phone: On the plus side, this phone is awesome. The best one Google has ever made, that coupled with the Guaranteed updates from Google, will keep phone alive and current for couple of years to come. Battery life is awesome, as well as the Camera, & the phone in general feels buttery smooth. No lags whatsoever. On the down side - There are people with gyroscope issues, Sound issues, & screen hue issues. I guess I am lucky, in those regards. I did not run into any of those issues. Also, do not expect a lot of accessories on this phone yet. lot of third party vendors are still in trial and error mode.
I am on verizon as well, I had to get me a Nano sim & then call Verizon to get the IMEI & SIM number added to the account to Activate the phone, while you are at it also ask them to add the advanced calling on to your account so that you can make calls and use internet at the same time.
At the end of the day, its your choice. But, if I were you. I would definitely buy it again.
I used to run cyanogen also. Now I'm running chroma and it is great so far. I think you should jump and get the phone. I love it.
Also I am verizon and I just put the sim card in and everything is fine.

Thanks for this tip. I chated with Verizon and had them add advanced calling to my line and now internet works while on the phone.
The 6p might just be my favorite phone ever.

You won't regret it. It is an incredible phone. Best phone of this year and the best Nexus to date. Once you go nexus, you will wonder why you didn't do so sooner. It is buttery smooth, fast updates for features and security fixes. Superb camera, ESPECIALLY if you love selfies. The FFC on this phone is as good as some last gen phones' rear camera.
Battery life is very good, considering I'm coming from the notorious Z3. Luckily, I haven't had any screen hue issues or audio problems but my compass doesn't work despite navigation working fine. If you spend too much time on the forums, you'll get OCD and paranoid/insecure about the phone and start ACTIVELY LOOKING for defects or imperfections. I've had my 'look' over it and used it a week now. No complaints here at all. I'm bloomin' impressed!
In the odd case that yours is defective, Google's got a very forgiving returns policy or refund.

This is what I'm worried about compass issues and screen issues. Stuff like that if I wait it out do you think they'll fix it? Are these things software or hardware issues? I guess what I'm saying is if I get this phone and something is screwy a software update should fix the compass issues and screen and audio stuttering?

Some things are software like the speakers being a different volume can be fixed with a customer kernel and others like tints on the screen are hardware and can't.

Who knows, Huawei might revise the phone and iron out the kinks (like has happened with past devices) or they may stick with their current manufacturing processes and say the devices are with specification limits. In general, early electronic devices always have minor problems which manufacturer's sort out in later revisions.

Yeah that's what I think I'm going to do. I'll wait till Google gets all the kinks worked out. I've got a developer edition note 3 as my daily driver right now but there's only one ROM available (seriously). So I'm on stock modified Jasmine ROM v6.1 with everything uninstalled besides Google apps and such. I just miss Cyanogen Mod and the themes and everything. I honestly only want the Nexus 6p for Cyanogen Mod but it will be a while till that's out for this device. I'll buy the Nexus 6p, unlock bootloader, install twrp, flash Cyanogen Mod and be done with it (then I'll just have to periodically update to the newest version)

Here's what I said in a thread of someone asking if it's worth it. Basically: you should buy it.
Johmama said:
The main pros of the Nexus 4 that I keep listing anytime I tell people about it are the following:
1. Price. $350 is pretty much half the price of any other competitor to the Nexus 4
2. Pure Android, updated directly from Google. As soon as a new version of Android is released, it's on the Nexus. Google develops Android FOR this device.
3. Design. Glass front and back, it's a solid phone. Looks sleek.
Now, newly-released phones do have slightly better hardware. But we're getting to the point of diminishing returns. We're packing so much hardware into these devices, you'll hard-pressed to find software that actually makes use of it. I think the only debate you should be having is buy the Nexus 4 now, or wait until the next Nexus comes out, possible during the holidays. That isn't to say this phone won't still be a solid phone then, but I can understand if some people wait to buy updated versions.
To answer your question: yes. It is definitely worth it. At $350, it's fiscally irresponsible NOT to buy a Nexus 4. Right now I'm paying $30/mo for a tablet plan on AT&T with 3gb of data. Having weird and crazy options like that don't seem to happen with other phones. I feel like the Nexus 4 is YOUR phone, not 80% your phone, 20% the manufacturer's.
Spoiler alert: I might be a little biased, but c'mon. It's a sweet phone.

Not to mention the strong development support, if you're the adventurous type it's nearly impossible to hard-brick a Nexus.
Pure Android (AOSP) is rather nice by itself and I could live with that, but I like to go custom a bit .

Well battery isn't as long as say a Galaxy S3 with a 7000mAh extended battery on it. The N4 uses a 2100mAh battery and depending on your usage, it could last maybe 4 hours of constant screen usage at full brightness (screen takes most the battery), or it can last over 21 with the occasional checking of facbook, emails, etc once every couple of hours.
Here's a screenshot when I finally got it down to zero percent. (it stayed idle overnight as I slept, and then I used it here and there during the day.)

LoL, true we may be bias, but I'll at least tell you quirks I've noticed. Even so I'd still pick an N4 unless all the other brands want to ship full AOSP at the same price and include extras like maybe a micro-SD card slot or replaceable battery . I kind of wish you could use USB-OTG without a 5V adapter, but I don't use my phone the same way I use my Tablet.

It usually lasts me the whole day until late. I'm not constantly using it, however. I'm on all stock so you'd get much better battery running a different kernel and rom

Well I'm not buying a phone of any of you, so it's not like someone has to advertise it so I'd buy it. That's why I asked in N4 forum, because all of you have N4.
Basic stuff like Wifi and 3G data have hardware or driver problems. I sometimes wish I'd paid $100 more for a phone that has had more testing/QA. (Not sure there is a better phone for only $100 more, though.) I still prefer this phone to the SGS3, which has fundamentally bad OS design and poor compatibility with third party Android builds.
i keep reading other threads and posts about why people aren't happy with their M8..........i for one am extremely happy with mine in fact i have not been happier with a phone since i got an 02 xda exec (who remembers them)
i don't care if my screen may look a bit yellower than someone else's i am not one to compare things anyway i can see everything i want on the screen i have and can do everything from reading my books surfing the web play games and do work .......im happy
my battery lasts all day the way i use my phone ...i don't need 140hours of use and 28 days standby .......
i don't care if my grey is lighter or darker than anyone else's....im happy with the colour i have
my build quality seems fine ....nothing coming off or rattling .....im happy
I'm happy with sense don't need a gpe
i don't need a mega mega pixel camera i have a nikon d600 for that ....the camera is fine for what i would ever need it for u want more megapixels either buy a dslr or a nokia or sony
i have had a shed load of phones through the years and all of them bought because i wanted them regardless of looks style peer pressure or sales patter i make a decision and go buy it then use it as it was intended to be used ....but what i don't do is gripe gripe gripe .....far to many people nit pick and to a certain extent may well put others off buying that model i bet that for every one person on this forum that has a problem/gripe/nitpick there are 100`s that love it but you rarely hear from them
as a side note my phone was bought from cex in the uk along with a s5 for my son and he loves his as much as i love mine so it really is horses for courses.......of course mines better coz i can and have, unlocked boot loader, rooted, s-offed, changed cid/mid, sim unlocked and flashed ARHD and he can't !!!!
The camera is fine, I just wish that it was smoother, I'm coming from an iPhone so I'm a little spoiled in some areas and abused in others.

its a perfect phone. i don't know what the hell there is to complain about really. if it got 100 MP camera someone would complain about something . else. for a smaller battery than my G2 it sure as hell last just as long...... oh its too long.... ohh the bezels are too big. blah blah for real? lmao. let me shake my phone to see if something rattles. people do all sorts of crazy things. trust me i had every phone known to man, and this phone is close to perfect. would i take a bigger battery or camera sure. does it hinder the phone at all. def not! and sense 6 is the best version yet
i am also a happy M8 user :good:

I think most people are happy with their M8, but feel a tiny bit let down by a couple of things. I love my M8 but I wish HTC had better quality control. Mine had 2-3 small scratches right out of the box, along with a loose volume rocker. I know that nothing is perfect but to be honest I've seen many iPhone's 5 and 5S and all of them are the same out of the box...
Other than that nothing beats this phone really. Excellent device all round.

Coming from a Droid Maxx with a 3500 battery I can say that the M8 battery is not terrible at all.
I don't think the people who are complaning hate the phone itself, but they have defects which make them not like the one they have in their hands.
Personally, I love the M8, but my first one had speaker grills and a screen that looked like they were going to pop off, and my second one has a loose volume rocker and dead pixel. I do love this phone, but I wish HTCs quality control was better.

I've been using my M8 for nearly 2 weeks now.
Coming from Galaxy S4, i can tell the difference is abysmal. The speed, the quality of the screen, the way the phone manages the different task, the battery life is amazing! The pictures are good too.
Overall i feel satisfied with the change
I just jumped over after owning an iphone5S and absolutely loving the M8 and android.
I love the HTC M8 , Luckly enough for me I managed to get a makeshift screen shield over the camera since it had developed two scratches already . Mind you it lives in an otterbox . Other than that one issue and stopping future scratches from developing . No dead pixels , grills pretty much flush with the screen and the volume keys are fine since they in a case anyways LOL . Hell I even like Sense (OMG WHO JUST TYPED THAT) , and what they have done with it .

My M8 is AT&T but unlocked using on T-Mobile. This the only phone I had this problem with and other people having the same issue and they saying it happened when KitKit released and something about Att started blocking it for people who unlock there phones to use for other carriers.
And I agree with you on that. The S5 was the first Samsung phone I didn't like.

2 months in, and tmobile is already taking $120 off the retail price. sales must be horrendous
I bought my G4 about 1 month ago and mention this discount to a representative who credited my EIP $60 as as courtesy.
Through my trials and tribulations with the G4 I was able to submit three different rebates for both the extra battery and the 128 SD card and sold them all on eBay for an additional $270 minus fees... So all in all I'm in the G4 for dirt cheap but I'm still not satisfied with this piece of crap phone.

This root less phone is just not worth anything.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 & LG G4
every day I use the phone I find more bugs. I can no longer type fast because it misses so many taps. My phone is froze every morning from the wireless charger, so is my girlfriends. half the time double tapping the volume down won't open the camera. if I get a text my screen will turn on and stay on. it will never turn off until I read the text message. If I have an app up that keeps the screen on and I hit the power button, when I turn the screen back on to check the time it will stay on and never go off, even though still at lock screen. I could go on forever. I bet root would fix 98% of this. I think the worst problem, missed taps, is a hardware issue and cannot be fixed with software or root. I'm afraid the phone is complete ****.
I think everyone that has issues should try one factory reset. I feel like that solved all of my problems. Root would be very nice but not a deal breaker like it used to be for me. Now that I have kids the number one priority for me is the camera, and this is about the best there is.

Root isn't gonna fix any of it. It's not some magic thing that does anything really but make your system partition writable. If you're having all of those issues (and the same to the other people having issues) you've probably just got a bad phone from a bad batch of them. I had to RMA my first one, no further issues. Rather than continuously dump on the phone (which, by the way, I don't particularly care for either, and won't have another LG phone in the future, but my issues aren't with bad hardware/software, mostly company dynamics), try and get it fixed/replaced. Your issues will probably be largely fixed.
The factory reset is also a good idea, and will tend to fix most issues...but in the event it doesn't, simply get it replaced. But honestly the hollering about how bad the phone is...? Overall it's a decent piece of hardware. Not the best, but not the worst by any means. Take matters into your own hands and get the thing fixed/replaced.
I have has two G4 devices, and both have been flawless. I have no tap issues and I'm a fast typer. Then there are the people that have been talking about other bugs. I'm just so happy with my G4. Of course every aspect could be bettered, but that's true with every device. I love the G4 and here in Europe the prices drop on every device sooner or later. Especially in down times where people aren't buying phones. Everyone here is getting ready to go on vacation ...

root will fix most of it what are you talking about. xposed framework will fix almost everything. And I don't continuously dump on the phone, this is a thread about the phone not being that great. If you love it and have no issues go find a new thread. I don't particularly care for your opinion either. I have already had it replaced once. I have every intention on changing it out again, but I'll wait a month or so for them to fix the bugs vs getting another **** phone. I might add that when I spoke to LG they said the Verizon ones are having the most trouble.....and that the only difference was software....so once again I believe root will help.

This thread is about the price cut. OP never mentioned anything about phone being horrible. Keep this stay on topic. Some of us were able to get partial refund. Please don't hijack the topic and steer into wrong subject.
This isn't the place to talk about rooting the device.

I see that now, I hate how the first post appears, I always overlook it. I was off topic.
Already? For contracts they were slashed week one. Free with contract on Amazon
I am perhaps wrong but the G2 and G3 prices didn't go down the same way?

Seriously now, I think most people realize that the g4 is in fact a piece of crap.
Because the S6 and the M9 are so much better..

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on their Google Nexus 6P? What they think of the device in general, any issues, etc. I currently have a LGG3 phone on the sprint network. Have had this phone a couple years and I'm looking to upgrade to the Google Nexus 6P or the next generation Marlin. I have always rooted my devices and installed custom roms. Are these devices easy to root and install roms and is the development support good for these devices? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Hi, there's some interesting information in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/upgrade-to-2016-nexus-marlin-t3417724
Don't get the 6p. Wait for Marlin. The phone and headphone jack on this phone are pathetic. People constantly tell me that I signs like I am under water. I can't wait until the new phones are released.

Maybe you should RMA your 6p; I've never had any of those issues.

I have had an LG G3 for a short while and a few things that i miss from it are the
~ Replaceable battery
~ The almost instant with the camera for macro shots
~ The ability to arrange the Navigation buttons
The above three apart, Nexus 6P is a much better phone, however do not buy the phone yet. Wait until Marlin/Pixel comes out and Nexus 6P's price would plummet further

There's a mod in another thread that just enables the navbar button rearrangement that actually exists in System UI tuner but remains hidden. You can do whatever you want with it, including removal, extra or less spacing, etc.

It requires root i guess. I do not want to root my phone for another 6 months at least

Yup. Why six months? You can unroot and return completely to stock if you ever need to return the phone or have warranty issues ...

Thanks. I like the lg g3 but been having signal issues where all of a sudden get no signal and then have to reboot to get signal back, possible radio issue. I have a extended battery in it that i love. I am itching to get a new phone but am disgusted with the carrier's/manufacturers lack of initative in updating the OS. I figured a Google phone would remedy that issue. So, if you were me, would you wait and get the Marlin/pixel or get the 6p when the price drops. I would like to get a state of the art phone one that can run vr just in case i become interested in it but from what i read in this thread, the Marlin may not be better than the 6p? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I would get the 6P then. Go for the 64 Gig version if possible
When the 6p price drops, where will it be? Google, Swappa, Amazon........?
I'll be looking at picking one up to replace my N6.
Picked up a mint 128 gig on Swappa for 450.

If you want a brand new phone I would check the Google store or possibly Amazon. Swappa would be a good place to look for a good used one. They occasionally have new phones, but most of what they sell is used.
I'm hoping for at least $150-200 off from the Google store, but that's probably dreaming...

Both have been reported by others as well. I am switching to PixelXL as soon as possible because of these problems. Honestly I think people give the 6p a pass. Who knows why. I am hoping the next release (Nexus/Pixel) will be full flagship quality and not 85% flagship quality.
To each their own.

Yes. I will give it a try.
I know there is a thread about the issues with the replacements. This thread about thoughts on where to go from there. What people think about what phone to replace the Note 7 etc.
I just dont know what other phone is good enough to jump to. Or if its even worth staying with the Note even if Samsung goes for v3... Resale value etc.
For the 1st time in my life im even considering the Iphone lol

I am thinking the V20. I don't want the s7e. The v20 looked much tougher than the N7 but with same screen real estate. Not as good as the N7 but may be my only choice since it appears the N7 may be abonded by all carriers. No way will it make economical sense to give updates and alike for the small few who stubbornly try to keep it.
We have a dead device, weird year for Samsung and us for sure, it's almost as strange as our election this year.
For some reason i feel i am more at risk with the replacement. I used my 1st n7 almost to the end but i dont know. I guess i have had enough
Now im not sure if i will even get a new phone, i may just stay with my Note 5

U r lucky you kept your 5. I sold mine. Big regret
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N930A using XDA-Developers mobile app
I kept my note 5 as well, but the only thing I could replace the note 7 with is the note 8. I feel this is really bad for the note faithful, those of us who are s pen junkies and have had several notes before 7. There isn't a replacement except for another note. Finally a waterproof, SD card capable note, hell the only things missing is the removable battery. I plan to roll the dice and keep this one as lo g as I can, I won't be early for the recall if it comes back up. They got me the first time, this time I am more skeptical about it.

I stopped using my n7 until more info comes out. I dont think i will keep it because there is no point paying $800+ for a phone that probably won't get support. If Samsung goes for round 3 they need to offer a heavy discount to those of us who have dealt with this mess from day one...
We shall see.... I already miss using my N7

How is your note 5 as far as lag and speed? I am thinking about getting one. Either note 5 or one plus 3.
