This is major YMMV territory, but I used a 6P for two weeks and that was exactly my experience. Ended up swapping it for a 5X and couldn't be happier.

You might use more on the 6P because the camera is better.

I'm having an issue with updating or installing some, but not all, apps on my galaxy s5. Here's the message I get: "Can't install app. 'Appname' cannot be installed. Try again, and if the problem continues, get help troubleshooting. (Error code: -505)" So far my googling hasn't turned up anything helpful. I have tried restarting my phone, updating the time and date, clearing google play cache and data, reinstalling play store updates, and checking for system updates. I have 3.1 gigs free, so it shouldn't be a storage space issue either. Any ideas?

Might be a lovely add-on or browser setting that propagated after getting hit by the adware on a PC.

I'm struggling to get the Marshmallow OTA installed manually on my Nexus 7 LTE. Whenever I try to boot into Recovery, it just says 'No Command'. Do I need to reinstall ADB or some poo poo like that to make this work?

Is this the right place for a question like this: I'm working for a store that specializes in cell phone "management" and we're trying to find a way to extract core data (contacts, whatever the gently caress else) is store on the NAND of the phone. However, we're reading that even with a water damaged phone, as long as the "EMMC chip" is fine, we can desolder it from the board, put it in some sort of machine, and extract whatever data was held on it. Is this some true poo poo? We're also reading that it takes days to do, but we want to invest in the machine itself. Must Love Dogs posted:I'm struggling to get the Marshmallow OTA installed manually on my Nexus 7 LTE. Whenever I try to boot into Recovery, it just says 'No Command'. Do I need to reinstall ADB or some poo poo like that to make this work? You can use the Nexus Toolkit and some terminal fuckery to reflash it. That's the only solution though, reflashing.

It would be awesome if you could post all the "Awful is ugly", preferably with example screenshots and short descriptions in the Awful.apk thread so we can maybe improve, and also don't further poo poo up the android devices thread.

I went back a lot of pages and didn't really see a lot about the Turbo 2. I have to use Verizon where I live since it's the only thing that provides service I'm eyeing the Turbo 2 or the 6P. The Turbo 2 is the most tempting because it's available to me on a payment plan and I get about $200 off with Black Friday deals and an update discount. Is it worth getting ot should I wait an undetermined amount of time before I have the money for the 6P up front?

Alrighty, ordered a 5x for my wife and a 6p for me. Can someone give me a quick rundown about the new usb-c cables? According to Google, I'm getting a: USB Type-C 15W (5V/3A) charger USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable USB Type-C to USB Standard-A plug cable Why is there a C - to A cable? I'm supposed to charge it with a Type-c charging using a c-to-c cable, right? Are there any risks to using one of those car chargers with the A-to-C cable? Basically, what do I need to know to avoid breaking my phone in respect to charging?

You get a C-C cable to use with your type C charger. You get a C-A cable because nobody else supports type C and sometimes you want to plug your phone in. You're perfectly fine using any other charger with the C-A cable, but the C-C cable can theoretically charge more quickly because it's a newer standard that supports feeding more juice. You can't break your phone with the cables unless you're using dodgy chargers, the tech is designed so the phone and charger will negotiate how much power is sent.

Well unless you have a brand new computer/laptop, you're probably going to need a USB-A to USB-C cable if you want to connect it to your computer at any point. For charging it's normal speed, and laughably slow compared to the rapid charging of the 3A USBC charging. You're also not getting a USB-A to USB-C cable. Also a lot of USB-A to USB-C cables don't meet the actual standard and can potentially damage your device, cable, or charger. iOrange-E, Belkin and a few other manufacturers meet the proper standard. Google Enginner Benson Leung has been reviewing the various cables on Amazon and determining which ones work and don't work properly. You can see his reviews here.

The 6p probably has it beat in the camera department though, especially in low light. I don't know how much of a time difference there will be on Verizon for major Android updates. I was under the impression that Motorola's are still close to Nexus devices for updates, but I guess that's carrier dependent.
