Poll: *** Google Nexus 6 ***

[Amos91]

Pretty much gutted

Headphone jack has died for the second time now. I am at a loss what to do now really.

No phones tick the boxes for me.

It easy to change and not even soldered in. Get a spare ordered and a replacement back cover.

All you then need is a screwdriver.

Done it myself, absolute doddle.

If anyones tired of waiting for the update just flash the OTA update from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota#shamu - its pretty quick to do.

May I ask where you sourced yours from?

I'm thinking this may be the route to take seeing as Motorolas support is even worse than it was before. I don't know how that is possible but it is!

I haven't updated Sumanji because I managed to get mine the way I wanted it with the mods I use without breaking sky go, android pay etc. Since then I haven't found a ROM that can do it all :|

I got mine from America on eBay so cost a few quid more than the Chinese ones.

Anyone getting this problem? Hope the battery isn't on the way out...

 

[Immsy]

Its working ok for mine but it was like that on the first day of the upgrade I think.

Thanks buddy,

If I don't get any luck with Moto I think I'll attempt it myself.

So far the luck has been terrible, I contact their support on twitter who sorted me out last time & they divert me now to their website, So I filled in the form on that page & recieve an email back today asking me to call them.

So i called them on the number they gave which clearly states in the email 8am - 8pm, Now here is the best part, It closes at 6pm!

Meh, definitely the last Motorola phone I ever buy, Why can't someone make another damn Nexus 6

 

[Defiant306]

Updated mine about 6-7pm last night, it went smooth with no problems so far. Just getting used to the changes now. Not that impressed with the massive notification lines that have little to nothing in them to start with.

Split screen is fun

 

[Devious]

Got my update this morning. Looks similar except for the notifications. Using Nova launcher so maybe that is wiping out some of the UI changes?

 

[Sumanji]

What are the chances that we will see 7.1 ...?

I'm not feeling too good about it, haha

My update came through yesterday.

Liking the small changes, especially to notifications.

Only issue I found was upon waking the phone up with the power button, the screen brightness would ramp up to 100% for 5-10 seconds and then return to normal.

Resolved by uninstalling Google Play Services update.

 

[Devious]

After the new update I have to manually send/receive my emails on the K9 email app.

 

[Sumanji]

Just smashed my screen (again)

Can anyone recommend a decent place in London to get it fixed please? Sounds like Motorola are a bit of a 'mare to deal with, so I would like to avoid sending it off if possible!

Or do I just write it off, given the cost...?

Cheers,

Su

 

[kona786]

Ouch no case?

Screen is what.. £150 odd?

 

[Sumanji]

Yeah, I have no idea how I've done that... fell off a sofa arm from about 2 feet, onto a soft-ish wooden floor... must have landed on the corner or something

No case - apparently I didn't learn my lesson the first time this is the first smartphone I've ever broken though!

I would guess around £150 pounds yeah - only paid like $250 for the phone so it works out around the same, grrrrr!

Cheers,

Su

 

[kona786]

Yeah that's a tough pill. Is it a 64gb or 32?

Have you looked on classifieds?

 

[Sumanji]

32GB - you reckon it's better just to get a 2nd hand replacement?

But then if I do that, I may as well just get a new phone, no...?




Did someone say "Pixel?!"

 

[kona786]

Haha upto mate. You must be feeling flush
