So I read an article previously that the Nexus 6 was suppose to have a fingerprint sensor in the little circle dippy spot the M logo is but it didn't happen.
Then I found this article: http://www.droid-life.com/2015/08/05/this-nexus-6-prototype-with-fingerprint-reader-is-neat/
After looking at the Nexus 5x teardown, I got to thinking if it would be possible to get a spare Nexus 6 back panel and drill or cut out the hole for the fingerprint sensor and somehow wire it into the Nexus 6?
This is by far just a thought at this point, but if the phone was possibly going to have it originally, perhaps the chips are possible to solder the board in somehow and then marshmallow perhaps would recognize it and allow it to be used like it was always there?
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5X+Teardown/51318 Setp 6 shows the sensor
If you look at the Nexus 6 teardown, and look at the pictures that show the camera in Step 9, specifically this picture:

It looks almost like there is a set of contacts that match up perfectly to those of the fingerprint sensor from the N5X. So, pending the HW would recognize it's connected, there'd have to be a way to enable it in N6 SW, so you'd probably need root/custom ROM.
Yea the chip board looks similar. I think I recall reading that marshmallow has the native fingerprint software built in. If thats the case, perhaps that would activate it internally if it were just hooked up, or a simple command line would do it. Perhaps someone would be brave enough to attempt it or know more to make it possible (if we can purchase the fingerprint reader cheap enough on the side).
My wife getting the 5x, I love the ease/quickness of the unlocking, but not enough to go from a Nexus 6 to a 6p and lose my Qi charging.
If this does end up being possible, I'd be temped, especially considering the absolute plunging price for a Nexus 6 (they're down to $289 on amazon!).
It may be more realistic than most people think, there's a video from google that shows an original Nexus 5 modified with a fingerprint sensor.

Yup, same here!
Perhaps it will take awhile to get the part cost down to a reasonable cost on this part. Only one I could find is about $82 on ebay, and its not worth that to me unless the costs come down a lot eventually.

When the first Samsung vibrant American model came out, it didn't have front facing camera but was equipped for it since the European model had ffc. I ended up ordering the camera, using nail polish remover to clean the ffc hole of the black paint and installing the camera. I had to run international rom for it to work obviously. But long story shortened, this could be an interesting dig. Keep us updated, whoever decides to try this

Personally, if you want the finger print sensor so badly, it would be much better to just buy 5x and sell your Nexus 6. You can find deals on 5x if you look hard enough.

Yes but to be honest the 5x is a downgrade compared to the n6. So other then the fingerprint scanner it would be a bad idea.
Also here at XDA IT is better to mod your current device then wasting money to buy a new one.

For $12, if someone has the knowledge of what to do to make it hook up correctly, this is an affordable price that makes it worth trying for someone with the guts If someone is successful and posts a how to, I'd do it for sure.

I ordered one, it should arrive in a couple of weeks. I think the placement will be an issue as from the pictures I cant see how the sensor will line up with the dimple. But i will test if the connection works and post as soon as i get it.

I can't say I ever noticed delayed notifications, but then again I don't do anything that requires instant notification really...
Nothing against the petition, but I don't consider this a major issue at all (it should still be fixed nonetheless). For a nice example of a major issue however, how about inevitable surfaceflinger memory leaks causing reboots on Nexus 10s?

Its not just notifications. Try downloading something and turn your screen off. The download either pauses or becomes awfully slow after sometime. The WiFi also sleeps when the phone sleeps. A custom kernel with the experimental WiFi drivers fixes this.

Can't even say I noticed this either on my Nexus 4. Notice it greatly on my Nexus 10 however, and I just factory restored both devices (downloaded all my apps in like 10 minutes on my slow DSL connection on my N4, screen timeout at 1 minute; still downloading the same apps on my N10 an hour later also with the same screen timeout; heck sometimes it wasn't even downloading anything until I woke it...)
It will be fixed in 4.3. I don't think we need a Petition for it at this point.

It's not Google's fault exactly. The driver is supplied by Qualcomm. Qualcomm has recently fixed this issues and the fix should be available in the next android update.

Wow.. I just switched to a Nexus 4 couple days ago and was puzzled by how I was missing notifications from Google Hangouts (the new google talk app).
I'm a little surprised I didn't read about this earlier.. I've been browsing this forum every so often for a couple months just to keep up, in the hopes of eventually getting the Nexus4. Obviously, it must not affect everyone, but I'm just unlucky.
Thanks david! Just signed!

Usually in the other play store devices the usd to euro conversion is 1 to 1 independently from the taxes. Also since the real usd to euro conversion is 1 to 0.74 I think they can manage the 1% vat rise.

When the N4 was released you could only get one imported from another country and it was >500€. As more became available it was selling on Italian websites for around 450€ and only in 2013 did the price come down to ~360€. Now (if you can find it) it should be around 300€.

Hi!
It is no good the situation with the nexus in Italy..
.
Do you know if buying one in the US, would it work under European networks?
Thanks!
hi guys
technically speaking the nexus 5, as the 4, is a worldwide phone, in N4 case only LTE was not functional here, but this feature was not officially supported by the phone itselfs, , so despite where you purchase one of this it will work in Italy, as in other country
only bias could be lack of guarantee.. but whatever.. doesn't mind, I want one of this

Well, they opened it after the n4 sold out almost everywhere, selling it at this point is a complete nonsense. For nexus 10 the story is not so different, if they're launching also a new nexus 10 why should they sell the old one partially saturating the market?

People in Italy currently the only band supported for LTE is Band 3 (1800Mhz), right?
One more question: If you have a prepaid SIM or a cheap PLAN with a limited internet speed per second and you're using an LTE Phone:
Are you able to connect to LTE networks (with internet speed cap) or you only connect to HSDPA networks? (The benefit of using LTE in this case would be the Latency).

So the oneplus 5t is here and it's great for the price point but a punch in the gut for users who bought the original one for the same price . But I get why did that so it's fine.Anyhow the 5t is more 2017ized now so how many of you would consider changing to that going from your oneplus 5 which you bought only a couple of months ago?Is a bigger screen (same res and stuff tho) and face ID(fastest one in the market rn) enough to turn to a new phone ? In any case what are the chances of something like face Id being ported to our oneplus 5 and it being functional ?

Maybe we all just wait what oneplus will do as face recognition is merely a software gimmick as there are no hardware needed.
Camera and screen is hardware related but for the camera software changes can also be implemented for the 5 I hope.
Let's hope gets 5 and 5t a cross development like the 3 and 3t.
I'm going to get the 5T if my 5 sells (currently have it up for sale). I'm only willing to pay the difference after selling my 5.
Face unlock does seem to be very fast but it doesn't use all the other sensors that are on the iPhone X for example, which could in turn make it less secure/accurate - time will tell though!
As for it being ported, not too sure but there is an Xposed module available (Instant Face Unlock) that works with Google's smart lock I believe, so maybe it could be possible - a better answer can probably be given from a dev
Guys, I think we should open a new thread for OnePlus 6, anyhow it's just a couple of month away.....why bother with the 5T.

Face Unlock is already implemented in OnePlus5. So nothing new here. Unfortunately it's all marketing.
Most of Android phones have face unlock included because it's an Android feature.

It's actually separate from the default face unlock and apparently it's way faster.
I'll stick to my op5, I hate the fingerprint in the back, will buy a new one once they know how to implement it under the screen.

oneplus face unlock just uses camera to capture 2d image of your face from many angles. very insecure. can be easily tricked, maybe even with a photograph.
iphone x face unlock literally sprays your face with 30,000 lasers and measures. much more secure and probably induces cancer much more quickly.

Apple responded "The iPhoneX didn't give you face cancer, you were looking at it wrong."
When your phone is no longer up-to-date, custom roms can implement facial unlock, or will this feature disappear?
It seems that Face Unlock wont be coming on OnePlus 5T,
This is what GeekyRangit says, he asked it to Carl Pei and he responded him back saying there are some Hardware limitations -_-

BS there is no other dedicated hardware they use the exact same camera. You really think a oneplus employee even if it is Carl would promise something like facial recognition for the oneplus 5 without asking it's company. What is more convenient than just to say no it is a hardware limitation. Think about it what would be needed to make facial recognition work a camera even more cameras to make it 3d and some infrared to make it work at night.
The 5 T has a camera and no ir because reviews all ready showed it needs light to work otherwise it does not. Some people believe anything :-s
Tell me looking at the screen protector where could this mystical hardware be ?
The face id that's implemented on OnePlus 5T is less likely to come to OnePlus 5 according to an Indian youtube tech reviewer 'Geekyranjith' (source : Twitter). He claims to have spoken to Carl Pei, who in turn said that the face unlocking feature on OnePlus 5T won't come to OnePlus 5 due to some hardware restrictions. Will have to wait and see if the feature is hardware or software related. Ofcourse for now there is Google 'Smart Lock' feature( in all android phones 4.0+) for face unlock,but not as fast and reliable as on OnePlus 5T.

Also I dont Trust GeekyRanjit,
But it seems OnePlus might want to keep the feature limited yo Op5t. -_-
Lets see if we get the ans for this in the AMA session on 21st.
Even If it it doesn't come to Op5 then it would be easily ported by some Developers

Face Unlock is already implemented in OnePlus5. So nothing new here. Unfortunately it's all marketing.
Most of Android phones have face unlock included because it's an Android feature.

Shock, horror!
Do you know... i didn't know this.
So I whipped out my U11, found the settings, plugged in, Annnnnd.... Yup. It's there. And it's quick. And works in very dim light.
So. I'm gob-smacked.
Hi,
On my new 10Pro the proximity sensor doesn't really work.
99% of time it doesn't work.
On dailer and also on whatsapp voice message
Maybe this can help you https://www.webcazine.com/16981/qa-miui-7-how-to-calibrate-the-proximity-sensor-on-my-xiaomi-phone/
For me work fine but i know is a comon bug/problem in some xiaomi devices
This doesn't exist on redmi note 10 pro
Hello everyone.
I have my phone for about 5 days now, and i have the same problem.
It would be nice to see Xiaomi fix this soon with an update .
Best regards,

Hello, the "bug" could be solved by software update? Or the bug is a hardware problem?
It seems that Redmi Note 10 Pro hasn't proximity sensor. Has a IA that knows when display has to be powered off.
Youtube
In my case I have been able to verify that the sensor works when the mobile is placed vertically, simulating that it has been placed near the ear as if it were on a call.
With WhatsApp/Telegram audio it have the same behaviour.
I just had a rom update to version Miui Global 12.0.10.0 Stable, and for now it seems that everything is working ok. But i haven't done enough testing to say for sure that this was it. Will see how it goes, bt for now, i still keep my good expectations .
PS- Thanks josedo90 for the youtube video. Interesting to know.

Well, it looks like the problema isn't yet solved. It is really anoing... OMG.
For me proximity sensor working ok now. I simply tried proximity test in secret settings. After that restarted and now its ok.
I found the pre applied screen protector to be the culprit.

Not good... Did you remove it then? Which one are you using now, if any?
Thanks

Yes, I removed it and I am not using any screen protector now
J'ai eu le même problème et après avoir enlevé la protection en plastique d'origine et installé le verre trempé, il s'est avéré qu'il s'agissait bien de la protection en plastique d'origine. Tout fonctionne parfaitement
Je vous mets le lien de la protection que j'ai installée acheter sur Aliexpress

Have you find removing screen protector as main cause of proximity malfunction?

yeah some update about this would be great. So until now, never encountered any problems with proximity sensor since you removed it?

Avez-vous trouvé que le retrait du protecteur d'écran était la principale cause de dysfonctionnement de proximité?

Oui
I removed it, but got the same problem
I still can not belive that this happens nowdays.
Some is saying yes, some no... so which is true?
Proximity sensor is (not)absent in this phone.

Funny guy
I own this phone and proximity sensor works for sure.
Curious to hear from SM-G9980 users who've updated to Android 12 One UI 4.0. Are you experiencing any issues? if so please describe them.

Yo no puedo activar las bandas LTE y 5G, ya que el antiguo código número para activar ya no funciona
Translated by GT: I cannot activate the LTE and 5G bands, since the old code number to activate no longer works

Most of the things I have been reading are complaints... I am staying on A11 for now.
Try Samsung band selection.
My experience with One UI 4 has been good. Some lags but seems to have been fixed by January update.
Some G998B has been having issues from what I've read but nothing major on the G9980.
I have had no issues whatsoever. Everything works.

Same here. Everything good to go.
I made the switch when I took the phone out of the box however, so I've no experience with 11. Going to flash it later today to see if I can get even more performance out of it.
As someone who just came from the Pixel 6 Pro to the S21 Ultra, I can confidently say Samsung did a better job of rolling out 12 than Google did.
No bugs other than a blank screen if I exit Netflix using Nova launcher.
Other than that it's been totally smooth and works very well.
If the other poster can't access the Phone Information Menu with stock phone app, use the Google phone/dialer app and it works.
