Nexus 6 wireless charging with the official Nexus charger...anyone had any luck? It's an incredible tiny charging spot I can never seem to hit and only seems to work without a case on  Nexus 5 had no such issues, with a case.

nerve posted:Try putting the bottom of your phone more over the center of the pad. That's how I get my non-Vu charger to work Ah hah, I can get it to work without a case like that, it seems like a very very very tiny sensitive spot where it works. I can't get it to work with the Diztronic case unfortunately like I could on the Nexus 5, this would be lovely and basically useless if I have to take the case off to charge.

r0ck0 posted:My nexus 5 after a year would only get about 2 hours of screen on time before dying. I called google support and they offered to replace it free of charge, free shipping both ways. If you have a nexus under warranty and its close to a year old you might want to exchange it. My new phone is not a refurb as far as I can tell and the battery life is back to normal. Didn't they stop producing and selling them? Replacements have to be refurbs at this point.

Nexus 6 battery life is the best I've ever had on a phone, and I love the placement of the headphone jack!

Reverse Centaur posted:Agreed. I have so much damage around my Note 3 port from trying to jam in the plug. It charges through a case okay? Was thinking of picking one up, as my Nexus 5 Qi charger is useless now as it doesn't charge through a case on the Nexus 6.

Maker Of Shoes posted:It's different. No, it's this: Shadowgate posted:Try casting a video to a chromecast and then adjusting the volume of media on your device. It can't be done, you have to disconnect the chromecast first, and then adjust the media volume. Terrible design that was clearly never tested. I discovered it when I tried to silence my phone while I had Play Music paused, I literally could not do it. Had to swipe away the Play controls in the notification tray, only then did my volume rocker stop controlling my music volume.

Stoat posted:NExus 6 (and 5? Or maybe all Lollipop users?) what is the deal with taking photos at night? The phone tells me to move it upwards slowly but if I move it up at all it says I did it too fast. Is there no regular "just take the drat picture" mode? Uh, you're in the Lens Blur mode. Swipe in from the left and tap "Camera".

Daily Forecast posted:Contacts and stuff, sure, whatever, but I'm talking about storage. When you're in an area where you have no service (happens to me often because I have a lot of family that lives in bumfuck nowhere) suddenly you can't access any of your... anything. Sounds very convenient. Call me a luddite, but I'd rather actually have everything that I want to have. You can keep local copies of everything on your phone, you're not dependent on data. Dropbox will sync, Google Play Music you can pin songs or albums or playlists, you can set gmail to sync last 30 days locally, etc etc. You have a very old man view on THE CLOUD.

Daily Forecast posted:So then we're back to the start, because you're still dependent on the amount of physical data that your phone can hold. 64 GB? That's cute. I'll be over here with my phone that can hold three times as much. My Nexus 6 is 32GB, and that's more than enough space to hold everything I want when I'm in areas with lovely data and no wifi. Even in a lot of areas I only have 3G, things like Play Music can still stream just fine. I don't need to carry every song ever made with me, just pin a couple playlists then update or change those when I'm back in a "data area". You're being extremely hyperbolic and unrealistic!

Daily Forecast posted:That is exactly what I am saying. Why would you buy a phone with worse/no features for the same amount of money? The only compelling thing there ever was about Nexus phones was the mid-high level hardware for a cheap price, but $700 for a Nexus 6 is pointless when you can get a much better phone for that much. I used my friends Note 4 for a bit before I decided on the Nexus 6, and hated Touchwiz, it's ugly as sin and looks bloated and crowded. I also have another phone for work with an SD slot and removable battery, and have never even had a desire to use either. It's almost like people want different things and you're being really stupid.

Daily Forecast posted:What I really meant is that relying on the cloud, like Google pretty clearly wants you to, what with not including a basic loving feature like expandable storage, was stupid, not so much the cloud itself. I highly value my contacts instantly swapping onto any phone I sign into my Google account on, but that's a far cry from trusting Google with literally all of your information. Show us on the cloud where the cloud touched you.

kitten smoothie posted:What's the 2-month-out opinion on the Nexus 6? Kicking around the idea of getting one. I'm sure you'll get every opinion under the sun here, but I love mine. It's a huge improvement from my Nexus 5, and I don't know if I could get a "normal" sized phone again after getting used to the size of it, it rules. It's also the loudest goddamn phone I've ever used.

WattsvilleBlues posted:Was Lollipop not supposed to bring good improvements in battery life? To my knowledge, 5.0 introduced 2 major things: -Battery saver mode, when your battery gets very low it switches off radios and stuff which reduces power consumption -New scheduling API (this is the thing they called Project Volta) to reduce wakelocks or something, it synchronizes when various apps do their polling which reduces active CPU time. However, this is up to app developers to take advantage of So not direct power savings, but these are the 2 things I was aware of related to battery life improvements.
