It still works, but the screen is cracked pretty badly, I'll definitely need to upgrade soon. I loooooved my nexus one, don't know what phone will live up to it. My friend is pushing the vibrant pretty hard, but I'm not a fan of samsung's android phones. So I'm thinking G2 or mytouch 4g. neither the front facing camera or physical keyboard is anything I need, so they're kinda even in my book.
What is important to me is future upgrades, I want to make sure my new phone will last a while and not get screwed over with newest android releases.
also I'm a big fan of custom develpment, I was constantly changing the roms on my nexus one, so hopefully my new phone will have a lot of xda support.
So, fellow Nexus One lovers, if you had to get a new phone, what would it be? What do you guys recommend?
Well, if the Nexus Two rumors are true next week, I would get that. Remember, Google made it easy to root and hack the Nexus One, something that carriers are reluctant to allow with their android phones.
Having said that, I'm inclined to recommend the G2 first and mytouch 4g second.
Bummer...wait till next week to see if there is actually an oficial N2...
good point about the nexus one being easy to be rooted. I did read this about the Nexus Two today, so that might not become an option after all. I suppose I can wait a few weeks, see how developer's tackle the mytouch, see what happens.

Samsung denies Nexus Two Phone rumor..!!
There is no such thing as Nexus Two/s
check this out
http://www.samsunghub.com/2010/11/01...o-phone-rumor/
if it works other than the screen you could probably fix it. the digitizer (touch screen) and LCD/AMOLED have replacements for sale everywhere on the net.
its the other parts that are hard to find and pretty much require a broken doner phone to replace like the mainboard.
you can find these things on ebay, the upper board is also for sale on ebay everywhere (the board that contains the camera/speaker and some other modules)
The G2 has turned out to be a very difficult phone to root. There is only a temporary method last time i checked. If the Mytouch 4G is more easily rooted, I would recommend going with that phone based on your preference for customization.

yea the touch screen works fine, it's just cracked pretty good. Do you know exactly what part I'd be looking for?
this is the digitizer (the touchscreen which includes the exterior glass panel)
http://cgi.ebay.com/USA-DIGITIZER-T...673812?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a0b90ed94
this part is NOT the LCD/AMOLED screen. it is the exterior glass you actually touch. inspect it carfully to make sure the LCD/AMOLED panel is not also cracked.

Definitely wait till Christmas. If anything cool will be announced this year, it'd be Christmas-time.
Wouldn't u hate it if you got MyTouch 4G or w/e, only to cry when some new phone (N2 or Galaxy S2?) are released later on?
cool thanks for everyone's advice. I'm gonna go ahead and try and replace the screen for now, and whenever the next big thing comes out I'll probably pick it up.
quick update, I successfully replaced the digitizer on my phone! It was kinda tricky taking everything apart, but for only $35 it was well worth it! thanks for those who suggested I fix it myself, saved me a ton of money and I get to keep using the best Android phone in existence, the Nexus One!!!

ouch my nexus7 it slid off my bed apparently. I didnt see how it fell, it was in a case but it didnt save it. I heard the thud, turned and feared the worse. it goes across the screen so its rather large.
its the 2012 32 gb version. Is it fixable??? most of the screen doesnt work, i can touch the notification area and it responds, but no where else, so it is basically inoperable. I google some stuff about replacing the digitizer or the screen? or both? how would i know what I need?
on another note, its the 2012 version and i could probably use an upgrade on the 2014 or whatever the new one is. But i definitely would like to repair this and get a new one. I hate having to let go of stuff like this and would like to repair it.
Check out on ebay you have to change the glass, digitizer and lcd (too risky to change the glass+digitizer) its fairly easy. You can check outr some teardown on google too and youtube. Good luck

My wife's n7 had a similar problem, but it's one of my children that stepped on it lol, it was going to cost £160 for Asus to fix it and the tablet only cost £200 brand new at the time so I just got some insurance on it from currys for £3 a month then got them to fix it lol

hmm thats a nice idea, i might find something like that locally here. well I ended up going on craigslist and looking at local ads of nexus 7, and I saw someone selling a nexus 7 16gb for $100. I emailed and asked if it was still available and how firm they were. They replied saying they can let it go for 80 if I come right now. I just returned about an hour ago with a 16gb nexus 7. I am currently in the process of rooting with a rom as my 32gb was. I still wanna fix my 32gb so I will try this idea or something similar.
Take the screen of the 16gb one and put it on the 32

Check out square trade for a warranty as well. I've heard good things about them
So this would work with square trade? The idea of getting insurance on my nexus even though it is already broken?
Yeah if they don't ask to see it your fine

No wonder why ins. premiums skyrocket...it's because people do this kind of stuff. This is ins. fraud...plain, simple, cut, & dried. I also believe this is against the TOS of this site. Do it the right way and purchase ins. before something happens to your device

How is it fraud, I asked currys if they needed to see the tablet and they no because it was less than a year old they didn't ask if it had a broken screen and I've still got the insurance so there getting there money back anyway so think before accusing people of fraud
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Its fraud because it was suggested above that insurance gets placed on the device AFTER there has been damage to the device. It was suggested that the insurance company wouldn't verify the condition...it's exactly what it sounds like...fraud.

Ok, So, I found this girl on my local face book and she sold me a Nexus 6 that has a shattered screen for 50$ I couldn't pass up the deal and I did contact Motorola who said that they would replace the screen for 175$ So, I am getting a great deal. The kicker is that I have no clue if it is reported stolen or what. She let me come to her house and assured me it wasn't and that she just didn't have the money to pay the 175$ for the insurance. Anyways, what do you guys think? should I send it in to Motorola? Can they keep the phone if there is something shady going on with it? It is from T Mobile from what she said. But I didn't get anything but the phone. I do have some sign of life. I just plugged it in and a green light came on up top but I have no screen action. The screen is shattered but the rest of it is in excellent condition.
As of now I have the One Plus One and I am debating on which phone is the keeper if everything does work out with it. Is there anyone else coming from the OPO who has an opinion of the 2 phones?
Any advise on my situation is highly appreciated!
Motorola won't keep it, they're not the mobile phone police.
With that said, who is this idiot girl? Why on earth would she sell a $650 phone, even with a crack screen for $50?
That's sounds shady if you ask me. Check the IMEI online and see if it might be black listed. If nothing cones out its at least worth fixing because that's a steal.

Also T-Mobile will black list phones if they aren't gift l bought out right and the account holder doesn't pay for it.
Even with a crack screen and bad IMEI number it's still worth more then the $50 he paid for it.

I don't know why she would do it but I do know a good deal when I see it. LOL! The digitizer isn't working so there is no way for me to get an IMEI # unless I open the back? I hate to invest in the new screen and it be blacklisted. Does anyone know if the IMEI # is located in the device if I took the back cover off? I don't know of another way to check unless I go ahead and fork over the $ for the new screen.

I just ran through a teardown of the N6, and it doesn't appear as if there are any stickers on the inside that would list the IMEI on the inside of the device. It would seem that the only way to know for sure would be to take the gamble on having the screen fixed.
Personally I'd get it repaired and take the gamble. It is very suspicious that she didn't give you the included box, if she did buy it what good would she have by keeping the box?
$50 is not that bad and the repair cost isn't too bad either. Take the gamble and see what happens.

Repair it because its worth the risk. Worst case she senario you will need a new imei but we aren't allow to discuss pushing new imei numbers to black listed phones on XDA but a quick google search could help you should you need it.
What's her Facebook? I'll help you check it out.

I believe you can find the IMEI on the SIM card tray. She should have provided the payment receipt so you could prove it wasn't stolen.

This, then go to http://swappa.com/esn and check the IMEI.
Well, Great news so far. I checked the IMEI # from the tray and it came back legit. So, I am winning so far! Thanks for all of the advise from everyone.
Now, I need to decide if I want to keep the Nexus over my OPO. I love my OPO but have been having an itchy finger to get the N6...We shall see!
Thanks again everyone!
DUDE!!! I have to share this...I called Motorola and told them that I got the phone from someone who didn't want to pay the insurance to fix it. They ran the IMEI # and I pre paid 175$ on a credit card and they sent me a new nexus 6 in the box with everything! Unopened!!! All I have to do is send the old phone back within a few days and I have just gotten a new N6 for 225$!!!Ya baby!!!
I couldn't honestly decide on what phone to keep between the Oneplus one and the N6 so I posted both on Craigslist and I said the first one that sold is the one I will get rid of and keep the other. Within 15 minutes of my post someone bought my One plus 1. So, fate has it that I have an N6! Now time to get this puppy flashed and dialed in. Thanks again !

I came from a OnePlus One, you won't regret it. Yeah the N6 is more wide but you'll get used to it, once you use the N6 you'll wonder why every other phone wasn't wide to begin with. OnePlus One does have better battery life but thats not to say that the N6 can't survive a full day without charging.
But congratulations, nice to see Motorola's customer service is quite nice.

My N6 is rooted and I'm running the Franco kernel for better battery life but once it's replaced the 4K AMOLED screen alone is a big difference.

Yeah your name sounds pretty familiar. I missed the Nexus community and it felt more true to "AOSP" as OPO ROMs/kernels heavily relied upon CM as they had a number of device specific code/commits.
I'm glad you're enjoying the device, a lot of N5 -> OPO -> N6 converts. I probably will skip on the OnePlus Two (or whatever its called).
I made my own custom ROM if you wanted to give it a try, if not then no bad feelings
I'm in bad need of a phone. I dropped my nexus and it killed the screen and the digitizer. It fell from high up probably 7 or 8 feet and landed screen down. It hit on rock's. The device isn't made very well in my opinion. Do not drop it,lol. I called VZW and had them add insurance 'thought I already had it'. I was gonna make a claim but found out that iv gotta wait 30 days before a claim can be made. I looked into Motorola exchange program, but you have to have 500$ so they can hold it untill they receive the damaged device and I don't have 500$ right now so that's a problem. I don't know if I can wait a month on a new device or not. Is there any other options for me to get my device replaced and avoid all this money and waiting? Thanks for any help

I have a galaxy note 2 that's been through hell and back and it still works great but the SIM card slot is damaged. The digitizer on the note 2 is exposed but still works great. When I dropped my N6 the rock's were pea gravel not great big rock's. Before I dropped the N6 the usb port was very loose.

Doesn't Motorola have a fixed rate of 175$ or something like that to fix your phone out of warranty? That's still way cheaper than buying 2nd hand...

I was looking on the Motorola website, and they have 2 options for replacing a damaged device. 1st one is the standard exchange were you send in you're damaged device first then they will mail out a like new replacement but it doesn't say anything about being charged a fee. The 2nd one is secured standard exchange, were you provide them with you're credit card info and then pay a $24.99 fee then they put a $500 tax hold on you're card, then they mail out the like new device. Then you have 5 days after receiving you're like new device to mail them the damaged device. Once they receive the damaged device then they release the $500 tax hold on you're card. I like option 1 best. Due to the holidays I'll have to wait untill Monday the 30th before I can contact Motorola about my options.

Wow you drop any phone from that high and about 99% of device will be broken beyond repair. To be honest from your posts it just sounds like you need to be more careful with your devices. I have dropped my device maybe 3 times and not even a scratch. With the right case you should be ok from a height of about 3 feet or so.
Try not to leave your phone in your pocket when you go up on the roof to clean the gutters.

Hi all, yesterday my beloved shamu was knocked out of my hand at a party straight to the floor, resulting in a cracked glass and display, with lines of green shooting up and parts of the display going black, eventually the screen just gave up, I'm very upset
I've replaced a screen before on a phone, a samsung galaxy s3, and that went fine, so should i replace my screen, or just put up with having the S8+ I've just pre-ordered a few days before this tragedy
After using Wugs toolkit to record my screen and see my shamu still alive under the broken front, it really tugged my heart strings (I know it sounds lame but this is by far the best phone I've ever had) and has really got me considering spending out almost the cost of a used Nexus 6 to repair it
I've found this website for the UK for replacement parts
https://www.replacebase.co.uk/motorola-nexus-6-replacement-lcd-touch-screen-original/
https://www.replacebase.co.uk/motor...cd-touch-screen-assembly-with-frame-original/
These look like pretty genuine parts and are one of the first search results on google, does anyone else have a source for good parts or are these the best I'm gonna get without shipping for so much money because it comes from the US
I'll have enough money next month to be able to buy this screen and not worry about the cost of the part, and the replacement isn't hard as long as I've got the right tools.
I planned on still using my shamu even after i got the S8+ to take on trips etc and just a second phone just in case, i was also going to use it to go running and basically as a work phone
So what do you guys think, replace the screen and risk messing it up, buy another Nexus 6, though i don't feel I'll love it as much, or just go with the S8+ for everything?
Thanks all

I've replaced a screen before on a phone, a samsung galaxy s3, and that went fine, so should i replace my screen, or just put up with having the S8+ I've just pre-ordered a few days before this tragedy
After using Wugs toolkit to record my screen and see my shamu still alive under the broken front, it really tugged my heart strings (I know it sounds lame but this is by far the best phone I've ever had) and has really got me considering spending out almost the cost of a used Nexus 6 to repair it
I've found this website for the UK for replacement parts
https://www.replacebase.co.uk/motorola-nexus-6-replacement-lcd-touch-screen-original/
https://www.replacebase.co.uk/motor...cd-touch-screen-assembly-with-frame-original/
These look like pretty genuine parts and are one of the first search results on google, does anyone else have a source for good parts or are these the best I'm gonna get without shipping for so much money because it comes from the US
I'll have enough money next month to be able to buy this screen and not worry about the cost of the part, and the replacement isn't hard as long as I've got the right tools.
I planned on still using my shamu even after i got the S8+ to take on trips etc and just a second phone just in case, i was also going to use it to go running and basically as a work phone
So what do you guys think, replace the screen and risk messing it up, buy another Nexus 6, though i don't feel I'll love it as much, or just go with the S8+ for everything?
Thanks all

Hello,
Ordered a HTC one m7 a few years ago and 2 LG G2 from this site: https://www.etradesupply.com/catalogsearch/result/?warehouse=0&q=Nexus+6
I don't know about shipping rate from USA, but from China to France it was $15. Nice packaging and no problem with the screens. The 3 screens looked 100% OEM. Display quality was also on par with original screen.
There is also https://www.parts4repair.com but I never ordered anything from them.
I can't speak for Samsung phone was as I simply dislike those. Nexus always gave me the best freedom and customization.
Cheers...
