Hello fine people,
I ordered a Nexus 6P last night at 10 p.m., it arrived at 10 a.m., and after spending 1 hour reading on this forum, I am now bootloader unlocked, rooted and running Dark ROM (for now).
This was the easiest thanks @Heisenberg
Never had an easier time getting unlock and rooted.
Have any of you experienced a Huawei Mate 8 - I picked one up last month and soft bricked it 3 times in one week. You don't want to go there - with EMUI - a headache (but fun challenge) to mod. So, this device was juuuuuust a bit easier.
I am late to the party, but happy to own this great device as an upgrade to my Nexus 6. I look forward to reading, experiencing all the ROMs and great development for this device.
See y'all on the boards.

It would be worthless if I had a phone like that. Fortunately, I don't.
Congratulations. Still the best buy of 2017.

but you do though
not a best buy unless you get it for $100, i paid $400 for a 128gb last year and it is still worthless,
the phone is useless garbage it overheats with nothing even running, and SOT is less than 2 hours no matter what you do to it ,it's pure garbage
also good luck making voice calls nobody can hear you on the other end the mic sucks it's noise cancellation is broken and google never bothered to fix it , also they remove miracast

Never had any of those issues in the 9 months that I have owned my phone. The 6p is the best phone I've ever owned.

and what do you get for SOT?
my phone can't even get 2 hours with doing nothing at all , if i actually were to use a demanding app it would be considerably much less
and today i put it on hotspot for like 20 min its screen was off and it was in my pocket and it was considerably hot
just about any app i run on it it gets hot right away , even doing barely anything in chrome it get hot
it is nearly impossible to get it to get more than 2hr SOT even with brightness almost all the way down
the phone is worthless garbage it is dead after not even 2 hours of lite use , i never even bothered putting any games on it , it would probably explode
most demanding thing i tried to do was watch a movie on kodi , i get about 20 min into it and the phone is alredy going dead and at 15% after 20 min
it's a piece of ****

Well, if you insist, though I'm not getting any of the problems you're experiencing, like voice calls and overheating, at least no more than any other phone. It looks like your definition of a best buy reflects your experience. I bought my 64GB in November and for the price I paid for it in my region, it was a best buy compared to other phones. It's even cheaper now. Haven't experienced a single freeze till now. A friend bought the Mate 9 a couple of weeks ago. Stock and froze twice since then.

Hey, all devices can have issues. Me, I have always been able to fine tune every device I have owned to be the best device for me. No complaints, ever.
I don't regret picking up the year-old 6P or the year-old Mate 8. Great decisions. I dare you guys to unlock, root and ROM the Mate 8 without losing your mind.

Either you have a bad phone and should RMA it or you just don't know what you're doing with a phone. I get between 6-7.5 hours of SOT and my phone is 13 months old.

i did RMA it i just got it back a few weeks ago they did nothing to it,it still had the glass screen protector on it i sent it in with , the jerked me off and tied up my phone over 2 weeks and sent it back the same as i gave it only they updated it to N which i asked them not to do , all they did was update it to N , the SOT is even worse now than when i sent it in
the standby time is a lot better than it was on MM though , on MM it would lose 65% from when i went to bed till when i woke up , now it gets much better standby but SOT is even worse than before

"or the mate 8"
ok i was just joking before but now i am convinced you are shilling for huawei
it is a crap company with crap devices and even more crap customer service
"fine tune" , so you tell me this POS will not get 1/4 of the battery life out of the box before you "fine tune it"
that is utter horse ****
you tell me what settings i can change that will miraculously quadruple the battery life of this hunk of garbage then
I love my 6p. This is #2 6p for me and I doubt I'll ever get a pixel but looking at the One Plus for my next one once I flash this one to death in about a year hopefully it lasts that long. Bought it used for cheap. Excellent device imo. My favorite device I have ever owned. Cheers. ?

Whatever you're doing, it's all on your end. I easily get 4 hours SOT everyday, with 200+ apps installed.
Also... Any phone that you turn the hotspot on and throw it in your pocket, of course it's going to overheat. ?

i think it is just defective then and probably 60% of them are the same way from what i read other places it does not seem isolated , and i don't usually do that i only did it today because i went to best buy to look for a new phone and their wifi sucks and none of their phones would go online and i wanted to test them , was looking at the axon 7 and the moto x pure as a replacement to this hunk of garbage, unfortunately they are all plugged in and no way to gauge battery life on them
and i have used hotspot on an old iphone 5 before and it never once got hot even after over an hour of being on , this thing was about to go all note 7 and burn my **** off after just 15 min of use
why would having more apps negatively effect battery?
this phone has barely anything on it and when i got it let almost nothing but the stock apps on it and it was always draining this fast , i left it with almost nothing but stock apps to test it and it never got more than 2:15 SOT
with nothing running, any app i run it gets warm chrome youtube doesn't matter what it gets really warm in 2 minutes and battery drains at like 1 or 2 % per minute , brightness at little over 1/8th no bluetooth on no gps no bluetooth location on
I think I got 5½ hrs before last year. I normally don't use more than 2 hrs cause of work. I had elex kernel with custom settings and it was still responsive as usual. I think the sot variations have to do with quality of chips and like with binning a cpu

Hi guys
I'm looking at getting this phone in July when it's released in Canada. I just want to know how many people who bought the most recent phones are having problems with screens (yellowing), and the battery/reboot issues.
I love this phone but now I see all the problems it has I'm not as inclined to buy it...
Thanks,

Can you get this thread closed by a mod and then create one exactly the same but add the option "I have no problems"?
i honestly dont have any issues with it..
Crap sorry I forgot that option...
Thanks for the replies
no problems with mine either. best phone ive had - easily.
I have the yellowing screen, but tbh, only when I searched for it, I noticed, on normal daylight outside or inside, while txting or browsing net, by watching movies or playing games, you willl NEVER notice it, unless you are looking for it. and its only when its showing darkgrey color and only when brightness is less than 50%, that was the only condition I was able to see it, any other color will NOT have this issue, and if you have combination of more colors, you have no chance to see it...
This cannot annoy me more than the fact that I will send my SGSII for repair and be without it for 2 weeks and then get it back with new display, but same issue..
Again here ... NO issues at all. Amazingly good phone!,
I have not noticed any battery or spontaneous reboots on my SGS. I bought it in early June.
Neither did I notice the yellow banding, but this does not mean that it is there.
no problems so far
I got my phone a week ago today, had no issues at all its a fantastic android, the best I have ever owned.
5 bad pixels here. No other issues.
No problems at all with the phone, best one I ever had
(and I'm now in my 50's, so I've had a lot of phones)
The unlucky people with problems are a bit like the unlucky HTC Desire owners, when it first came out many had to be returned for repair.
I dont have any of these problems. I got my phone 17th June
My battery used 0% of the battery while being inactive for 12 hours

It's obviously not. It's not actually possible for it to use 0% of the battery and remain on. Hell - the battery would run dry if it wasn't even in the phone, given enough time, so it's never using 0% unless it's actually empty!!!
fellow canuck here using it on Fido. love it. no problems here. I never turn down my brightness below 100%, seems like a slap in the face to all the engineers who helped develop the super AMOLED+ screen
I got mine 7 days ago and it's back in it's box ready to go back! I should say I'm getting another one though.
Mine had a very poor microphone, so poor infact that when I called myself and left a voicemail, I couldn't understand it Also had a reception issue, and was generally a lemon!
NONE

Hello's to you fellow's lol,
I have a question regarding this phone. I am most likely going to purchase the c6833 model if not then I may have to buy the c6802 one, however, this is all contingent on many factors and answers to the following questions:
1) The screen issue, I've heard, saw and read about the screen issues which plague some of these devices. To elaborate, the screen dies on some people, refuses to turn back on or the phone itself dies randomly. Now is this an issue exclusive to the c6802 model or has this been an issue on the c6833 model as well. Furthermore, is this an issue of hardware or software, or the general consensuses still has no idea.
2) How is the battery life on this phone, I currently have the Note 2 and the battery life on this is absolutely phenomenal, now I refuse to accept that I am being spoiled and am certain that this should be the standard rather. Thus how does the battery life of the ZU compare with that of the Note 2's
Well that's about it, I live in Canada and the phone isn't out yet here in stores so I have to order it online for about $800-900, which is fine I guess, but it would absolutely crush me if I was to spend that much and then 2 weeks down the line have the screen and phone go full retard on me, and then have to deal with the pain of shipping it back to Sony labs etc.
I heard the phone is out in Canada in about 2 weeks? I think they are timing the launch to be similiar to the Australian launch which is October 10.
Oh okay thanks for that info, I didn't know it was Oct 10th I thought it would be near the end of Oct, so yeah I guess I'll just hold out for when it's released through retail, better safe and late than early and sorry.
I guess this thread can be deleted then...lol
the phone is not great but super super great! most wonderful I ever got. the screen SOD problem I think is easy to work around just don't UNCHECK the Optimized backlight then everything goes fine :cyclops:
the only shortage of the phone is the battery life really a bit short, still light to moderate use is ok. :good::good::good:
Personally I'm coming from note 1 and think the battery life with stamina mode is awesome. I hear the battery life is a little under the note 2 so you should be fine with it. It's an epic phone I would say, don't hesitate. I'd say it's worth getting the 6833 as I think 4g support will be more mainstream within 6 months or certainly a year.

Hi!
A Local is selling the Smartwatch 1, he claims is new, and is asking $60 so I will offer $50 if you guys think is still worth it.
I am doing some research on it but since usually reviews are from the original time it came out and things are fixed later one...so i am looking for more recent experiences.
Thanks!
Honestly, I'd go for it - why not! Aside from a few reported issues with UI lag and general fragmentation/inconsistencies between apps, at $50, it makes for a great little tinker device, even if you do eventually end up throwing it in the drawer a few months down the track!
Best of luck
I saw a review made not that long ago in July 2013 so I hope it shows the latest updates and I actually liked what I saw!
It will be a good way to see if I like that concept before spending a lot more on SW2
$50 isn't much for a "smart"watch, so I'd go for it. And like Supjackary says, it's a great little gizmo that you can tinker with. Maybe root it, install Omni and play SimCity on it. Or not, but in the worst case scenario, you've paid 50 bucks for a watch. Still worth it.

Cool. I am getting it tomorrow!
I do have a concern...battery life...is it going to drain the phone battery quickly? I read that it does not even show a clock without being connected so that means and always connected bluetooth to work.
I just checked. It has Bluetooth 3.0, and what we want is 4.0 (BLE or Bluetooth Low Energy). That might be a problem
Sony says the SW will last you 1 week with light usage, 3-4 days with medium usage and 1 day with heavy usage. I'm not sure what the differences are? Is light usage to get five notifications and heavy usage is getting 8? I have no idea
Either way, your Ultra will probably notice a small drop in battery, but I don't know how much.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
It is not a great watch... SMARTWATCH2 is a killer one though, but expensive
He decided not to sell it now but I saw him post version 2 for sale..asking 160...will try to lowball him to see if I get lucky lol
He will take $120 for the SW 2 or I can get the one used for $60...decisions decisions...

Hmm, i have no idea If you have some money to spare, then i can't see why you couldn't get the SW 2. The SW 2 also has Bluetooth LE, plus i guess there's more activity around it, i.e more apps on the Play Store and i guess it'll probably receive an update or two in the future.
But again, i really don't know I guess you'll have to get the one you want

Huh, i just noticed that the Sony Smart Watch has its own section.
HAPPY!!. I have to say the Z3v has been the most solid phone I have owned out of all the ones I have had and that goes all the way back to that turd the Eris. I really dont see anything in the market thats worth switching to. I gave up on rooting my stuff a couple years ago so Im still without the ability to make calls and surf internet at the same time but that is the ONLY drawback to this phone. Very happy I left samsung for this phone.

You don't need to root to get advanced calling. Flash the latest ftf (.509) and you'll be on 5.0.2 There is a workaround that should get advanced calling working.
One of the reasons I dropped Rooting and Roms was it always had some bug or tick that showed up in reliability or I would get busy and be so behind my Ronm was out of date and there was n more support.
Is This .509 going to put me right back there again cause I love the way this phone never fuggs up.
Over a year in and I'm just livid at "Big Head Red" smh!! No support on this phone whatsoever and a broken promise on Lollipop... remember these words... Lollipop update in Early 2015?!?
Granted, I know the update promise was from Sony. FWIW - I heard the update has been available for some time now, but "Big Head Red" doesn't care to act upon it.
Lesson learned - I will never buy a carrier phone again! A Nexus 6p has been ordered and very soon, waiting for software updates will be a thing of the past. Shame on Big Head Red because the Z3v is a really good phone.
Agreed!!!
Traded mine In over the weekend. Had the phone a year and just got pissed and couldn't stand it.
Had to pay 40 dollars to hit 75% on my z3v then they ate the 150 I had left.
Got a note 5 and it is a tremendous upgrade. Nearly the same size with .5 inch more screen. Battery life is consistent where my z3v would get 7 hrs sot then sometimes 2.

Voice over WiFi has been out much much longer from T-Mobile. You should be able to tell that Samsung had Verizon up to their necks with bags of cash to have priority on their flagship phones.
Sony's Z3 series having marshmallow is a test run, and of course I understand there still isn't an official Lollipop release for the Z3v. Regardless really, blaming Verizon is what we've been doing and we're still on it, so why bother to stop complaining now?
This thread is for those who have received their note 7 and are returning it due to battery issue or other issues like build quality, screen scratching easily, lag etc
I'm still on pre-order and no sign of stock but i checked on CPW website uk and its stating date of 21st Oct.
Also those who like me still waiting for phone. I'm really considering cancelling my order and wait for Iphone 7 plus, Google pixel xl, Moto Z, LG V20 I hate it when a top end phone lags or isn't buttery smooth.
Would be interesting to know if you're waiting for replacement and how long is the wait? Also if change of mind and y and what will you purchase instead?
I'm in the uk BTW.

I'm returning mine because of the battery. I've found the phone to be excellent with absolutely no lag or stutter. In fact I'd go as far as go say it's smoother than my Nexus 6P which had thermal throttling performance problems. I'm waiting for a replacement from Samsung as this is the phone of the year for me. I believe the Exynos version the UK has is more fluent than the US Snapdragon version. Samsung told me it was a minimum of 3 weeks for a replacement.

Another interesting point, some who have tried to return product have been told to keep the phone until replacement. This includes amazon and cpw the reason I believe none of the retailers are willing to take the risk of a potential fire in their premises. Imagine having hundreds or even thousands of these phones just waiting to set on fire. Just in case if anyone was wondering.
Amazon is issuesing refunds and asking their customers to keep the phone until further notice, might be the case for some lucky buyers get refund and get to keep phone.

CPW have changed their position today, automated message advises to contact Samsung for a replacement, however, when I got through the advisor said they actually want the phone back immediately due to the fire risk.

That makes sense must have deliberated between lawyers as who would be liable etc.
Risk of fire is probably very low but not worth taking risk.
all other competitors will be loving it especially apple, this all plays nicely into the hands of Apple. What timing.

I wonder if anyone else has found it buttery smooth.

Yes, my 6P feels slow in comparison to the Note 7 (Exynos).

I'll have to see this to believe it, the unit i tested in CPW stuttered lag. Even the reviewers on youtube all suggest there is lag.
I hate lag also and my Note 7 is great, I see no lag or stutter, no overheating. It runs great. I was worried about Touchwiz but it's fine.

This will be a first if there's absolutely no stutter or lag in note 7. Still not convinced as every Samsung phone I've owned has shown lag.

Mine also is smooth as silk, its a great phone, i'll wait for a new one. I gave my details to samsung customer care yesterday. I also kept my old phone, while i wait, i change the option of fast charging to off. Also i charge phone when i am awake and keep a eye on it. Honesty it doesn't even heat up while charging. I also sometimes shut it off when charging sometimes. I am not worried that it will catch fire. I think the ones that have a problem would show symptoms, just like us when we have problems we have symptoms!

Agreed, there's just no lag or stutter. It's the first time I've seen it on a Touchwiz phone. It flys.

yes agree, i had a note 3, 4 (long time) and short time with a 5, but note 7 is in another category all together in the way it operates. I didn't use touch wiz because i have been always using Nova with no animation. I really like this phone it's beautiful to look at great in the hand and works without fault.....
I'm debating. Dropped mine today from about a foot onto tile and the screen shattered. Using a Spigen neo hybrid too... I'm so torn. Love the Note, but wtf!

Thats a real bummer!!! Good news i would think it is still covered for a replacement! But according to corning glass it could happen 20% of the time and 80% it should be ok. maybe the angle it hits the ground and surface. I for sure have no expertise in these matters...But i feel for you and all of us that invested in this phone....we shouldn't be experiments for these large companies to test their products!
I returned for a refund and now am back using my Note5. But I will rebuy the Note7 once I am sure the battery issue is fixed.

Super smooth after disabling bloat and adjusting animation

How did Samsung mess up? Its a developing story and they responded as soon as they could. Do some of you sit anxiously waiting to catch your next breath??????
They've identified the issue within a couple of days and are working on a resolution plan which is why they are saying they'll contact us in the next week once stock and plans are understood!
The problem has been the messages coming from retailers and we all know they are full of sh.. just to get you off the phone!
Give them time. I'd rather this was managed that rushed with mistakes.
If you fancy an iphone then what are you doing on Android waiting for the note7. If you jump to the LG...good luck there. I've never even seen v10 in the UK! And how do you know they won't have an unlucky problem...**** happens

Another interesting point, some who have tried to return product have been told to keep the phone until replacement. This includes amazon and cpw the reason I believe none of the retailers are willing to take the risk of a potential fire in their premises. Imagine having hundreds or even thousands of these phones just waiting to set on fire. Just in case if anyone was wondering.
Amazon is issuesing refunds and asking their customers to keep the phone until further notice, might be the case for some lucky buyers get refund and get to keep phone.

Do phones catch fire when turned off?
I'm sure the real reason for leaving phones with customers until exchange is that they know the risk is low so why inconvenience customers by taking their phones off them and potentially leaving them without and at the back of the queue having refunded them. It doesn't work.

Wow man. Easy tiger I think people have the right to be annoyed frustrated considering the nature of the problem. Battery exploding I mean it's pretty bad, yes they are trying to resolve the issue but people expect better especially when you fork out around £700.
As for sharing info, experience, sentiments and considering other options is nothing new. No one should feel threatened by it. This is the way of the world, it maybe not right or wrong but it's the way it is.
So dude join the discussion and take it easy.
