Yeah, doesn't look too hard, but a little fiddly, I probably wouldn't risk it myself.

So is French rainforest the best place to get a nexus 6 at the moment?

I'd go Amazon.de if you can. Longer warranty (two years as opposed to one with Amazon.fr) and in my experience better support.

Motorola say it should be £110-£120 to fix! Sounds good to me!
Luckily, I've just been leant a Galaxy S6 to review, so good timing for the Nexus 6 to go back.
O/T - Have to be honest, impressed with the S6. Thought I would struggle with it being so small, but it's quite an impressive device.

Amazon.de will take the phone back and try to repair a warranty claim (not damage) for 2 years. That's very decent.

Couple of questions.
1. Whats the easiest way to update my nexus to 5.1. My phone has been encrypted and rooted. I have the OTA update sitting on the phone and I don't want to wipe my phone really as there a bit of data stored on.
2. I have spotify and use it with my car all the time. When I put my phone to sleep with spotify playing a song in the background and wake it up from sleep (one button push of the power button) it comes up with some album art. I want that stage of sleep to be kept on . Is there an app with light on or something?
3. I'm getting a few marketing calls and dont answer numbers I'm not expecting. I google the numbers and often find they are marketing calls. Is there a quick and simple app that integrates with the phone call app that I can block incoming calls? I have downloaded several apps, and they leave a large footprint i.e. app icon showing on the top of the notification.

£120 is a good price as a screen is that from eBay.

I updated to 5.1.1 Chroma the other day, has nothing but 'google play services has stopped' every few hours, and the message then comes up constantly until I go into apps and clear the data and cache for it then reboot, highly annoying! Looks like I may need to to another re-install.

On a stock, unrooted Nexus 6 running the new Android 5.1.1 build (LYZ28E), are EE VoWiFi and/or the new O2 HD Voice ( http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Welcome-News/HD-Voice-is-rolling-out-on-O2/td-p/879709 ) working?

Just a heads up, I thought I'd try putting Xposed back on to my phone (Android 5.1) and I'm happy to say it is working fine.

Just ordered myself a nexus 6 to replace my nexus 4, just hope I'll get used to its size.
One thing I have noticed is that the Nexus 6 gets a decent signal on 4G where my old S3 would struggle. I was at a wedding last night and I had a good 4G signal whereas my mate on the same network but om a Note 4 had next to no Internet, patchy at best.
On an altogether different note, I have under volted my CPU by - 50mV on all states. So far it's been stable over 2 days.

Does under volting help with battery conservation?

Putting mine up for sale. Just couldn't get on with it. Shame.
Yes. Less voltage = less power. And less heat. All marginal ofcourse.
I managed 5hrs10m screen on time today on 4G.

Just seen my repair quote (broken screen) from Motorola - £128. Not too bad really.
