Looks like your Spigen Unltra Hybrid has a crack by the finger print sensor in exactly the same place as mine, I'm awaiting a replacement.

Heads up for anyone who has a cracked Spigen Hybrid case, I received my replacement case and it looks like it's been slighly redesinged round the fingerprint scanner, no crack in this one.

I've been holding out for a deal on a 6p, so took the plunge, should be here tomorrow.

Looks like the 64GB is not €550 any more

EDIT: Wasn't really after a 64GB so I've finally ordered the 32GB. Thanks Ravster for the tip-off!

Any recommendations for a car charger with a type-A port that will supply the full 3A? I want to use the USB Type-C to USB Standard-A plug cable in my car because I'll have no use for it anywhere else.

EDIT: Nevermind. Looks like type-A only supports 2.4A max. I will order a Vinsic car charger and Anker type-C to C cable instead.

I used a tesco "high output" car charger (was a tenner) with the supplied A to C cable that comes with the phone and it charges the phone very quickly. Doesn't register as charging rapidly but still manages approx 1% per minute

Thats out of spec as far as I know.

robj20 · 9 Dec 2015 at 12:19

No such thing on a C to C cable. Its a plain cable no resistors.

mark43 · 9 Dec 2015 at 12:48

Is there anything to look out for on C to C, different speeds of whatever? (Sorry, not much knowledge on this). Just want to replace the cable that comes with the charger with a longer one, and rather not spend more than I need to.

robj20 · 9 Dec 2015 at 12:52

Nothing other than the speed rating.

mark43 · 9 Dec 2015 at 13:00

Thanks, what speed rating should I be looking for, so that it allows fast charging the same as the cable that comes with the charger?

I almost ordered that one but I got a little paranoid after not seeing it on Benson Leung's spreadsheet. I know that C-to-C is straightforward, but I guess I just trust Anker.

Swarfega · 9 Dec 2015 at 13:32

2x A to C cables for £4.99 here that I have tested as compliant with the CheckR app. See the first review with a photo of my Nexus 6P showing its compliant. This isn't my review btw its a colleagues, it is my phone though. Personally the cables feel and look cheap but yeah they work as designed.

Taken from Benson Leung write up.
"The issue lies solely with cables that have the new reversible USB Type-C connector on one end, and legacy Type-A or Type-B connectors on the other."

Any way to just use a fingerprint to unlock screen and not a pattern etc? seems like if I use "no protection" it wipes fingerprint data, but theres no option to just select finger?

Oh well, it doesn't matter any more

I cancelled the order because Nexus devices don't support band 20 on Three for VoLTE

Looks like I'll be getting an S6 after all.
