5.0.2? I didn't even get 5.0.1 yet! Although I'm not seeing (m)any of the bugs that people here report in 5.0, like the redraw and Wifi bugs and whatnot. At least...I don't think I am?

Setting it with my home address does nothing. Setting it with GPS also does nothing. I haven't gotten it to work with my home address either. It's a bummer.

While trusted location hasn't really worked for me (maybe my house is too rural or something? I set it with gps also and that didn't help), trusted bluetooth works 100% of the time, it's great

I love the Nexus 6. Coming from the Nexus 4 it was a huge improvement. I haven't had any problems with Lollipop aside from the smart lock not working at my house. No wifi issues, no screen redraw memory leaks, no dialer issues. It almost seems small. Not sure how I used the N4 looking at it now. I remember getting the N4 to replace an iPhone 4S and thinking how huge it was.

I was all set to buy a Moto X 2014 64GB, but when I saw that I could get a bigger phone, with wireless charging, for an extra $50, I figured it was a no brainer for me. Yeah I have a vu that I got for Christmas and I use it to charge while going to sleep, but turbo charging is some next level wizardry. The phone gets super hot though.

Smart lock now actually works with my house set via gps. I'm not sure if it's the 5.0.1 update that fixed it or they did a play services update or what, but it definitely wasn't working before and now does. So I think that was my only lollipop complaint and now it's fixed.

Only fix I know of is either getting rid of it, or waiting for them to get their poo poo together. It's being fixed supposedly, but I've heard that before. I think what makes me angriest about facebook messenger is how their updates don't actually say what is fixed/changed, it's just some BS about "constantly improving" or whatever

I found a weird nexus 6 thing! It sometimes... Reboots? Except it doesn't. The at&t jingle/boot sound plays out of nowhere (it's happened.. 3 times and all 3 the phone has just been sitting). When I check it, the screen is black and won't come on. I hold down the power button and it starts booting. Not sure what it's doing. Completely different subject, but turbo charging is goddamn amazing. If you are looking to buy a new phone and it doesn't have turbo charging you should probably look at a different phone. It's seriously amazing. hotsauce posted:(ya'll may be happy to learn I've moved on from the griptape stunt...) Moved on to what?

My phone seems to have stopped rebooting. I guess it was an app causing it. Probably goddamned Facebook. I've been using Action Launcher 3 again. My biggest complaint before was no Google now instant access but I just use the classic swipe up from home and it works fine.

I've never flashed any images, despite having a nexus 4 and now nexus 6. My phone has been randomly rebooting, so I was going to do a factory reset. Would flashing 5.1 accomplish the same thing? Might as well kill two birds with one stone...

I flashed 5.1 with no prior experience. The flash-all script kept failing and saying no system.img but I found an android police article that had a walk through of flashing each part individually and it worked like a champ. I did it clean so now I'm setting this up again. All-in-all it took maybe.. 20 minutes? And that includes downloading the sdk and whatnot too. I locked the bootloader afterward, not sure if I should have.

LastInLine posted:It means that next update that comes you'll be erasing everything all over again if you want to go the same route. Of course there's no reason you can't just wait for the OTA as long as you don't root (which you also can't do without wiping now if you didn't flash a recovery before relocking). Yeah I'm not sure I'll flash the next update, I'll probably just wait for OTA--this was just something to try since I needed a factory reset anyway. I'm not interested in root either, so that's fine. It was super easy though.

CLAM DOWN posted:I'm having a weird issue with the Hangouts app that I'm wondering if I'm alone in. I have many conversations that from the main page state a last activity date of something like Feb 9, for example. Yet that's not accurate, if I go into the conversation, the last message was say March 15. Why is this main view not updating, it's very annoying because it orders conversations by date incorrectly. Yes I have seen this and it's super weird. I haven't seen it recently but I can't actually remember if there was a Hangouts update that fixed it or if it was fixed when I wiped for/flashed 5.1 It's super annoying because as you say, the ordering changes. I'd look for a text that I KNOW I just got and it wouldn't be there. Some wouldn't be in the list at all and I'd have to compose a new message to even see the old ones... Sorry this isn't actually helpful but I've definitely seen it

Any advice on what seems logical? All considering that I can't really afford not to have something that doesn't go through AT&T. Get a Nexus 6, the "less powerful hardware" is fine. It really is an awesome phone. People are still recommending a 2013 Moto X, which even at the time had "less powerful hardware" and is still good today.

In that touchwiz screenshot, why is there a "power saver" in one part of the drop down and then right below it a "u. power saver"? "Ultra" power saver? Does it make the phone even less usable?

Since we're talking about Qi charging, one time (I think only once) I put my phone on my Tylt Vu for charging overnight and when I woke up it was super warm and also not charged. Did I just set it down wrong on there? It only happened the once and I charge it every night so I guess it's not defective or anything, but it was kinda strange. Also, does the cable matter when using quick charge or just the adapter itself? I use the cord that came with the charger for the one I have, but I was looking at that car one linked above and it looks good, I just don't know if the cord matters. I have a "charge only" cord I use right now.

So my car quick charger is here and it's not bad. But I discovered the cable I was using is lovely, since it went in and out a bunch (charging and then not charging). When I used the cord that came with my wall charger it worked fine. The phone gets super hot with it but basically qc of any kind heats up pretty good. I need a new cord. Any suggestions? There are about 4 million on Amazon alone. Normally I'd just go for a monoprice or Amazon basics or whatever but I don't know with qc if it makes a difference. The Motorola one is nice.

Something is hosed, my n6 won't auto rotate. I've also noticed it's now taking pictures sideways that should be portrait. Is there any way I can force it? I downloaded an app that controls rotation and it will force rotation, but it won't rotate on its own anymore. Could this be a gyroscope problem? I've rebooted and it didn't help

I flashed to Marshmallow and it seems...a lot like lollipop. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, but I had to go to about phone to be 100% sure it actually upgraded. I was looking through the Ars review of Marshmallow and it talked about "doze" and that sounds cool and all, but will the phone still work? Text messages? Emails? I can't really have my phone not working just because I haven't picked it up in a while. I'm assuming it would exclude at least the first two, but who knows with Google. If it's just sleeping Facebook and other dumb poo poo then great.

FunOne posted:Well, for one, the way that phone calls and standard text messages are received mean there isn't really a go-and-check-for-it process. You'd have to program the phone to actively ignore signals from the cellular network to wake the gently caress up. OK that's good then, mostly me being a dummo. I still think if there's some crazy thing Google can screw up they will, but at least if I'm on call for work the phone will (probably) still ring.
