Rebuilding My Nexus 6 - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello world, I have the midnight blue nexus 6. I have had this device for awhile and over time its got dings and dents as well as a busted screen. I replaced the digitizer a few months back. Also replaced the mid frame and back battery cover to cloud white,got tired of the blue. This device us 2 yrs old and I'm starting to notice some issues with the device its self. No matter which ROM I run I have terrible lag and when I'm on the internet it just kicks me off. I believe its time to replace the logic board? Do you guys think putting in a new mother board will solve the problems?
Thanks

Did you ever replace the battery?
I got lagg, sudden shutdown, static noise etc etc due to a bad battery. Replacing the battery fixed it. Keep in mind to not buy refurbished ebay battery crap

No haven't replaced the battery yet. I have been looking at some battery's on Amazon. They have a battery called Newpower99 its compatible with the nexus 6. I think my device has the 3025mAh and the newpower99 battery is 3200mAh price is 45.25 I wonder if its worth it. Thank you for the suggestion I will start out with a new battery first then go from there.

I also got myself a custom back panel ^^

Sadly most colors are out of stock everywhere :/

I ordered some 2mm double sided sticky tape too just in case I need it for the back battery cover. I don't like using a hair dryer because I'm always afraid I'm gonna get the phone to hot. I need to order a heat gun that has a temp adjustment.

Yeah I saw those panels on eBay. I like the different colored ones. I have a red carbon fiber dbrand skin on mine.

@seahorsepip that battery is a little pricey. This is the one I bought. I hope its a good battery! Its rather cheap so that makes me think its not gonna be that great. Probably end up buying another battery just to be on the safe side..

I have no freaking clue as to why it posted those pictures 2x each lol..
Edit, there was 4 pictures instead of 2. I excited out of Tapatalk and when I opened the app back up the duplicate pics was gone.

When you replace the battery try to not break the flex cable going around it, I'm still waiting for a replacement wireless charging part because I did break that ribbon cable

I wonder how he colored the mid frame?

I'm unable to disable my lock screen pin. When I punch in the pin to disable it does nothing. When I got up this morning it would not let me remove the lock screen password. It just now let me remove it. This wouldn't be a battery issue would it?http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5885efb2d05a2/2017_01_23_06_53_09.mp4

That's very strange, there are pin removal zips, you can try that.
Are you running stock? It can be an issue after flashing mods?
But it's hard to say if it's battery related or not, I've had so many unexplainable weird bugs when my battery was dying...

I don't know how else he would have colored it. It can't be a rusting process since aluminium rust is white.

Poetic Element Aluminum TPU Case

$14.95 shipped - http://tinyurl.com/8uy2jbu
Let me know what you guys think. I though it was pretty awesome other than the Poetic branding on the back.
Hey man just received mine today!! I got the white one..its clean and fits perfect and very slim !!!!!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
why on earth would they put that ugly logo on this
i would buy it if it comes without the logo
the logo looks to be a sticker. i will be attempting to remove that sticker and maybe head to the mall later this week and get a vinyl "NEXUS" or maybe just a "7". Also thought about maybe a CM10 or an AOSP. just not sure yet. i'll post pics tonight if it is just a sticker.
Like I said..I already have this case....idont believe its a sticker ...don't bother trying to get it off..just place ur sticker over it
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I also have this case- it's not aluminum- it's plastic with an aluminum stick on insert.
Not a good deal ($14.95) for a plastic back cover....

Pfff its a great case IMO ...considering I didn't pay anything near your 14$ price lol

Just got this case in the mail today.
Really nice and snug fit. Only adds a bit of bulk to the Nexus, but not a ton.
The only thing I worry about is that the backing of it is super slick... I can see my Nexus getting bumped and going sliding off whatever it's sitting on.

I purchased http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Poetic-TM-Leather-Case-Cover-Amazon-Kindle-Fire-7-Tablet-Black-/140664905919?pt=US_Tablet_eReader_Cases_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item20c04820bf#ht_2778wt_1180 to use in combination with the Poetic Element case. I just wanted something that I could use in addition to the shell if I were to want my Nexus to sit upright, or if I was just wanting to take it out with some additional piece of mind.
I had to bend the corner tabs a bit to get it to fit correctly, but it seems to be working alright. It's definitely snug inside this bookshell case. I wasn't too worried about having the Auto sleep functionality, but at least this shows that you can use this type of case in addition to the shell.

Nexus 4 - Quick start PDF

LG have uploaded the quick start manual to their website, worth a download if you're planning on buying a Nexus 4, it also shows the device will come in either 8GB or 16 GB versions, no mention of 32 GB yet, maybe we will see another 32 GB upgrade at later date a la Nexus 7.

I'm really hating these leaks. It ruins the excitement. I'm gonna watch the event knowing everything and have nothing to be excited about since I expected it.
Especially Wireless Charging. Last year, Google did a good job keeping tbw Galaxy Nexus Pretty secretive(at least to me since I never fully saw it clearly. Just the pogo side.

I've never used wireless charging before. Are the charging stations universal? Like I wouldn't have to buy new ones for each new phone I buy in the future? Does this also mean I should buy a couple of the old palm ones while they're still cheap? I for one am really excited for wireless charging.

Hi,
Your LG nexus is fine. The internal hardware is built to resist water and a few other dust particles. The flickering you experienced was only because the water was in the way. However keep your phone away from fire, oil based lotions and dropping. Enjoy your Nexus.

sony Xperia z1

Does anyone know if the new xperia z1 will fit in the xperia z charging dock?
New dock for Z1 is model number DK31
Dock for Z is model number DK30
I am guessing there are two models for a reason.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
No, it won't.
I have the XZ dock and fits the Z perfectly with no additional space.
The Z1 is slightly taller and I think a bit thicker.
Definitely won't fit. Pins are in a totally different position for a start, and then the phone is also longer too.
The pins thingy on the phone does look a bit different dont you think so?
hey guys
does anyone know if the xperia z1 charging dock is the same as the z ultra charging dock? i want to order it online with my white xperia z1, both the docks look the same, but the z1 dock is currently not for sale but the z ultra is... so be really keen to see if anyone knows anything about the two
thanks in advance

Not the same, Sony indicate on the website if something can be used be more than one model.
Did anyone see a review where it showed the notification LED? Its the only thing I did not like on the Z since its too small in my opinion. I'll probably get the z1 if it's bigger

It's smaller.. As in thin, but a bit wider. I'd say the Z LED notification light would be easier to spot.

I have the XZU dock and as far as I know it will fit the Z1- the docks come with inserts for different sized phones or charging with cover on etc, it may not be an exact fit for the Z1 but the magnetic interface is the same so with a little fine adjustment I'm sure it would not be difficult to modify and fit snugly
When you put the phone in the dock the connector lifts up from the bottom of the insert using a magnet and attaches onto the phone interface, I am sure you could easily make your own attachment using a rubber strip or similar to what ever size you want, I will be using my ZU dock with my Z1

Ah I see what you mean now, by bad photograph skills, I see why you though the grey part was the screen. The yellow is the screen it was playing a demo and it kept changing, I can try and take a better image tomorrow without the screen on if it helps?

It's a very very good LCD. Better than XZ but not quite as good as HTC One nor Optimus G2 IPS on some very select aspects like viewing angles.
Comparing it to SGs4 Super-amoled is trickier tough as they are vastly diferent technologies and the fact that YOU like exagerated and extremely overpowering color saturation of AMOLED tech doesn't mean it's a better screen
Atm i think nothing beats LG optimus G2 Super-IPS, it's just a truly amazing screen in all aspects, miles ahead of AMOLED.
Z1 screen is fine tough.

Overall it's a bad photoshop. It's probably real yeah, but these bad quality pictures are not legit. Even the writer of article from the OP here states all the barcodes and imeis are the same and match up to a different phone. The phone has a black lense on the boxes but yet the actual device has a red camera lense.

[Guide] Headphone/Earphone Buying
this is as fake as a 3 dollar bill..im pretty sure if it was red..LG would have blacked out the word nexus
Why do you assume LG would have blacked out the Nexus word? Taking for example, the white N5, white Nexus wording ; the black N5, black Nexus wording. I'm positive they would have carried out the same pattern over to the red N5.
Otherwise, it does look like a very bad photoshop.
I'll be pretty pissed it comes out in different colors. I would totally gone for a Patriots blue. Even if they didn't make it to the Superbowl
If it indeed does come out in red or other colors, replacement parts could be bought and just swapped.

It would look legit. I wouldn't mind buying a few different back plates. They are pretty pricey though. eBay has the replacements for the white and black running at $90 bucks. I am assuming its that high because of how relatively new it is.
I have to agree, these pictures look shopped. Would be sick though!
would be sicker if they will make new rev. with some nice quality improvements
I take it you've all noticed the white end of the boxes that also say red on it - would be quite hard to get that 'shopped with the focus blur and all (unless someone REALLY wanted to fool everyone)

And serial number begins with 401K. Now we have only 310, 311 and 312K. So I think may be red one have new hardware fixes and revision.

Lol I have the 401k as the nexus 5 was just released in my country last week.
And no hardware differences at all.

You mean unless someone has a lot of free time to make it. Don't you notice how bad quality all the pictures are? They don't even all have the same quality like if the person took it from multiple bad cameras.

I wasn't saying they're real, but I was just pointing out that they could be (and I did say it could still be shopped if someone was going all out but editing the box test - complete with focus blur)

It's easy to do if they take an HD picture, shop it and then degrade the quality so much that everything looks flush lol. It would be nice to have other colors though but like I've stated before these are shopped but maybe because there's actually red models to be had soon.

Notification about closing back properly

Am I the only one that randomly get a notification to properly seal my back cover to make sure it's water tight?
Also, can somebody post a picture of the inside of the back door? I wanted to compare it to my rubber seal as mine looks like it's at a different angle in one spot than the rest and wanted to make sure it's made that way and it's not a lemon,

get exactly the same, its as closed as its going to get but keeps popping up about closing the back properly when I turn the phone on.
I don't think there's actually any correlation to the physical condition of the back. I think it's just a cover-your-ass thing by Samsung.

The prompt comes up after every reboot even if it's sealed properly. It's just a reminder. Just click the box not to remind you again

Also, if we do click that box and want that reminder to pop again, how can we?

Nope, not the only one -- I believe every S5 model does this. As someone said above, it's Samsung covering their ass so they can't be blamed if you get it water damaged. I get a warning every time I reboot, every time I unplug charger, and most times I pop off the back. I also don't see any box that says don't show again. I wish I did
Here's the picture of the inside of my S5's back cover -- SM-G900A model:

Thanks for the pic, i also don't have the checkbox. I'll post a pic of my back because i think the rubber gasket is not properly in place.

EDIT: Here is mine, see on the left side, seems it squased down 1/2 a mm as yours is nice and straight all allong that side
For high res: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4937149/XDA/20140413_150426.jpg
Same here! I think it's normal since I haven't touched it at all

Hmm, after taking another closer look at mine...I notice that same thing in about the same spot. It may not be apparent in the picture I posted due to the lighting and resizing it, but here's the full-res shot: http://i.imgur.com/oOoRfAW.jpg
Now I'm hoping this is normal and doesn't affect the water resistance lol. Even with it that way, I honestly don't see how it would affect the resistance.
Yeah i see. I guess its just less apparent than my black back

But you had to remove and replace the cover when putting the battery in, no?

Yes of course! I meant that I didn't touch or play with the rubber gasket

Ya, but weirdly, the first day i didnt get any notification, it only started the second day when i actually remembered it was IP67 and wanted to see how, it then that i removed the cover and got the first notification. So i'm pretty sure there is a sensor to detect if it was opened
Hi,
seems to me, as if it is designed that way. I'm waiting for my S5 to be delivered, but looking at photos like this one:
(Picture from "theguardian dot com/technology/2014/apr/11/samsung-galaxy-s5-review-android")
It looks to me like the rubber seal changes its path to accommodate for the little space, comparable to the space left at the bottom for the battery-remove-hole. Their rubber seal has your phenomenon too, so I'd say it is normal.
Greetings,
Zuujin
