My Bose QC2 headphones make an obnoxious clicking noise when plugged into my Nexus 6P, any app is open (not on the home screen), and the phone is not outputting sound. The clicking stops when the phone is outputting sound. I think this is a software issue, and it sucks.

Just get a normal phone again!

I almost wonder if there isn't some wild variance in manufacturing because of specific things that some reviewers say are great and others say are dogshit, like the camera.

This would line up with the BB10 devices, I've gone through Z10s and Z30s that have wildly varied in hardware quality and reliability.

I'm fooling with the camera on my new 6P and recorded a slow motion video. I played it back and was presented controls for playback speed -- sliders at the bottom of the video play screen in the photos app. I then deleted the local copy of the video and no longer have those speed controls. I can now stream the video at only one speed. Even downloading it does not return the speed control slider. Is there a way to get that control back? I don't really understand what is happening with the UI here.

Same with the Lens Blur camera feature, you can adjust the blurring on the original file, but your exported/uploaded copy is a normal rendered image. If you delete the original you don't have it to tweak anymore

I just received my new Nexus 6P and want to get some new wallpapers for it. What's a good app that I can download? I don't mind paying either since I have the $50 Play store credit. Seems like the app store is flooded with a bunch of free wallpaper apps. Also, I currently use the Sony Xperia widget because its simple and shows everything I want (Time / Temp / Battery Percentage) - What are some other recommendations for good widget apps?

Seems like the app store is flooded with a bunch of free wallpaper apps. Widgets: HD Widgets requires some time investment for fiddling, and they have some inconsistencies between their different style packs (not all of them are available at all size/type widgets), but I was able to get a look that I liked. It also has the option of adding permanent notification tray items for current temperature and battery level, which I like. Wallpapers: If you like the Material design language, Tapet is great, and the IAP to unlock all the options is quite cheap ($3, I think?). I don't actually use most of them (because I like to find just a wallpaper I like and stick with it rather than have it generate and apply new ones automatically), but it was well worth it even so. This isn't the "show off Android home screen" thread, so I'll just put my N6P (Nova Launcher, HD Widgets, Tapet wallpaper) home screen as a link.

I have a few 64GB laying around and a 128GB in it that could just as easily be a 16GB card since I don't really store a drat thing on it. If anybody wants a new moto x with a leather back, in a few weeks I'll probably be selling it in SA mart.

The 6p is really goddamned nice. I am having the worst time deciding if I want to keep it over the 6 plus I have here. They're the same size, have relatively comparable cameras (though i think the plus takes better shots slightly still), both seem to deliver a good experience. Both solid fingerprint sensors. The plus pulls away in battery life, but the 6p screen is just excellent. I really can't decide. Was hoping it wouldn't be as good!

I'm in disbelief. Get the 128 and stop crying about SD cards you cheapskates. Shift anger to sealed batteries (although the battery on the 6P is outstanding).

So I my nexus 5x doesn't wanna seem to doze at all. I don't exactly know what I'm doing wrong since my nexus 5 has all the same apps that I do and that dozes fine.

That's not a lack of Doze, that's a straight up wakelock problem. Some app is bugged out. If you installed anything different or new since it started happening that's a good place to start. Otherwise factory reset and slowly add apps maybe, I don't think there's a working wakelock detector anymore? The Awake bar should match up almost exactly with Screen On unless you're doing something like listening to music/podcast/etc with the screen off, as your phone is obviously awake then.

Hello IYG nerds, I am switching ship to android and just bought a 6P. Question is, do you think we will see the stock camera with manual controls in an update later on? 6P sounds fine and all, but I don't like the idea of the camera making all the decisions for me, especially for exposure. How often does apps like the camera get updated?

You're better off downloading another camera app, the google one is meant to be super simple and largely automated. If you want finer control, that's what third party apps are for. That said for expose specifically, you can swipe in from the side (or bottom in landscape) and go to the cog wheel -> advanced -> manual exposure.

I finally got my 6p (two weeks faster than they said), and I love it in almost every way. The thing is too goddamned big! Yeah I know, my own fault. I have long fingers so I figured it would be OK, but I can't hold the phone with one hand and use my thumb to swype because I can't reach across the entire screen. That and the fact that because it's so big I never feel like I'm holding it safely means I should probably "downgrade" to a 5x. I bought this one with Fi on 0% financing, I wonder if they'll let me exchange for a 5x and continue the financing?

I think the fingerprint reader on my 6p is terrible, and I wonder if it's because I play violin and have callouses. My left index finger barely even registers, it won't sense more than like 1 angle on it even though other fingers work better. In general it's super unreliable and I end up having to enter the password like 60% of the time, even using five different profiles to get every possible angle of my finger. Really disappointed after all the praise.

I've never been a case guy, but I got the official (expensive) case and I really like it. I definitely don't feel like I'm going to fling it across the room by accident anymore. There's really no question that this is a two handed phone though.
