Second nexus 6 but do I upgrade? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just swapped my nexus 6 for another unit because of vibration issues.. But was unsure if the 5.0.1 update was actually worth it?.. Did initially update straight away on the old unit but decided not to at the moment.. Any good reasons to update.. Input would be appreciated

questions go into the q&a section, not into general. ill ask a mod to move it there..

Yeah sorry realized afterwards.. Many thanks

Just do a search for "Is it rooted yet?" and "Will our bootloader ever be unlocked???" and it should take you right to the forum.
I just picked one up.
I really don't feel at home here in "General Discussion" begging for root access, and thus strongly support the creation of a forum as well. I need to be amongst my people, so that we can all be upset together about not having root access to our day old phones yet. I really need an avenue to start a new thread with a title like "How long do you think it will take?" or "Why don't 2.3.5 exploits work on 2.3.6?"
In the meantime, I think I'm going to duct tape this thing to the back of my Galaxy Nexus and create the ultimate QWERTY slider phone.
(In all seriousness, +1 on a Droid4 forum )
You know there's going to be one eventually, just be patient.
Going from the original droid to this is incredible. Well worth the wait!! Completely different phone and I love it! Eagerly awaiting a nice present in the form of a Droid 4 forum
In the meanwhile, you could go to droidforums
.
I was wondering if you mind to search before posting.....

New nexus 7 question

Hi all
I am thinking of buying the new nexus 7 but am put of somewhat by reports of random restarts and shut downs on the new nexus.
Anyone on here experienced this. Is it a major issue?
Thanks all
Chris
A few minor system updates have been rolled out, i think last week or not too long ago, to fix many of these reports.
I'd say at this point, if you're buying one, you will be fine and receive a flawless product.
edit - a little sillyness but you're on the 2012 nexus 7 thread. if you want more assurance you can head over to the 2013 one.
Ahh thanks and sorry about that
haha its no big deal! Hope I helped in your decision ( personally , i'd go get one myself, but i would have to get rid of my 2012 one first ).
Thread Closed
for anything to do with the new 2013 nexus 7 please stick to its own forum forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2407

LG G2 Lollipop Update/port

So since no one seems to be ranting or asking the question about this, then I guess I will. And here's why. I read earlier this past week that LG would be pushing the update for their G3. I figure with that news out there and the idea of tweaking it to work on the G2, that there would be at least a beta out there? I've looked everywhere and I haven't found anything. I'm not sure how hard an LG is to port versus an HTC but I know that there are ports from the One m7, One m8, and One Max that work on the DNA. Anyways, I'm not trying to *****. I'm just curious as to why there isn't anything out yet? I'm ready to test drive the new 5.0 and I don't really like the nexus devices, nor do I have the money to go buy one out right. I'm just really wondering if anyone is even working on this or waiting for it to hit and then will start working on it??
1. I don't think you're allowed to post questions in development forum, ROMs only.
2. The G3 update is not as easy to port as you think as we're missing a kernel. The problem is even more complicated with the Verizon model because we don't have a CDMA Nexus model to base it on. Porting to GSM model can use some help from the existing Nexus 5 kernel. That's what I think.
Well.. I believe that someone(s) is working on a port for the G2. I'm sure that since they're doing it for free and in their spare time, they will release one when they have a "Good, Safe to Flash" version. Since I'm not a developer of any sort and just a very grateful user of their work.. I will continue to wait patiently until they see fit to release it. If I get tired of waiting then I will probably learn how to make one myself. That way I can have it when I want it.

First and foremost, this is in the wrong section, as stated before. This is not a Q&A forums (see sticky) and at 100 posts, you should know this.
Tim from ose and reven from liquid smooth along with eight other people, two being members working on cm are building cm12 for us.
Twice now it has been leaked, resulting in two broken builds, and doing nothing more then pissing off the guys working on it. It will come when they have it stable.
What? There is no lollipop port for the dna.
Please note the sticky at the top of the Dev forum going forward...
Sticky: ★ ☆ ✰ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting do not go in the Development Section. ✰ ☆ ★
You know I get that everyone isn't trying to be rude about my posting in the wrong section but I'm sorry it came across rude. Yes I have 100 posts or more. However I didn't read the sticky at all because in my opinion of I or someone else should have a root question there isn't a real section for it that is easily noticed called Root: ask your questions here. So I'm personally going to go to the section labeled development and for my carrier and ask those questions. Maybe my brain is wired wrong in the way but to me it seems like common sense. Anyways, I'm done with my polite rant. I appreciate the responses for the information they gave me. I'll just sit back and wait I suppose. I could always play with stuff on my DNA.
@CoyotesFan4Evr
Yeah, I dunno. There's a general Q&A and a Verizon specific Q&A and you're asking a question, so I don't know why it doesn't click.
The reason why you don't ask questions here, is because it would bog the entire forum down with questions versus Roms, and this place is for roms.
I get why I shouldn't have asked my question here. That part clicks just fine mostly anyways. Where it run up on the issue is that it says general questions. I'm a member on another forum and you don't ask general questions about a rooted phone in a section like that. There is a section called all things root for that type of question asking. So I hope the logic of why I asked on this part of the forum makes sense. But for the future I won't post in the wrong section anymore.
Honestly dude just be patient. Some of the Nexus devices are only just now getting the update, and it's going to be a little while longer before we see anything. CM12 is being worked on and we'll get a G3 port a little while after Lollipop hits the G3. I'm foaming at the mouth for L just as much as anyone else, but these things take time.
If you really want to try it out, there's an early CM12 build in the regular Android development forum. It runs but has some bugs on all versions. It's really nice outside of that.
How do I enable WiFi?
Haha, just ****tin' you.

I have a weird question I'm part of the webview beta, i guess this ROM and most ROMS use a custom webview is there a way to replace the built in webview with the beta version that updates? If that makes sense lol

Have you tried replacing it with the beta version? Ours is version 39 currently.. I believe the newly updated is version 40 (stable).. Have you tried just replacing it.. Downloading the beta and freezing the version 39?
First foray into flashing
I have to say that I am really loving AOSiP on my Nexus 6. It is my first attempt at flashing my phone. Special thanks to Mike Barrett and his YouTube channel for getting me through it! I was not sure of the process and he laid is out step-by-step and it worked flawlessly...I even upgraded to RC-3 last night with no worries or problems.
I would do whatever it takes to get AOSiP listed in the Nexus 6 ROMs List on XDA. I always keep looking there when I need to get back to the Forum, only to realize that it is not there.
I really love the G+ community as well. It feels more homey than the XDA forums for sure...and that is where i was monitoring last night when Kris was teasing that RC-3 was close.
Looking forward to learning more about AOSiP and hopefully being able to contribute to the community in some non-development way in the future!

Not a problem at all. Just doing what I can to spread the word!

Well, I tried to reply in the APR-26 thread and it moved me to the APR-10 thread...See the [WELL APPARENTLY I CANNOT POST THE IMAGE, see below in red] that I get since i am under 10. I was just worried that my messages would get lost since they are in this thread and not the main (current) thread.

I had an Galaxy S4, but I always wanted the Stock Android OS...so when my contract was up, they announced the N6, and I decided to wait until release and got one...then LITERALLY 3 weeks after I got it, I dropped it and shattered the screen (first time ever after 5+ years of smartphone usage). Luckily, AT&T Insurance was great since it was my first claim in 10 years as a customer and I got another one...then about 3 weeks ago, i dropped it and cracked the upper right corner. It is no where near as bad as the first time, but i means 2x in 3 months!!
I will keep this one with the crack in the top corner near the camera. I just ordered an XtremeGuard glass replacement so it should keep the crack at bay.

[Q] Still have ! for Signal...?

It's been a week and a half now, I thought it would resolve itself but it hasn't and I heard that tons of other people are having this issue around the world?
I'm on t-mobile, rooted and on a custom rom, but people are saying that it's happening to them on stock roms with locked bootloaders?
It literally turns my phone into a mini-tablet...
Please! I need my phone fixed!
Why make another thread about it? Not trying to be rude but there is a thread of the issue 6 post below yours.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I am so sorry!
I didn't see the thread!
When I was scrolling through I must have went to fast!
Please delete my thread moderator
T-Mobile says they have NEVER heard of this issue! They must be right, and all of us idiots are just ignorant liars.
I'm on my second N6 because the problem of the ! is so persistent, it fallows my phone. I'll soon be trading it in for a third N6 come Monday if the issue isn't resolved.
