I finally held a Nexus 6 yesterday and it was exactly the same as my Note 3 with otterbox. Really good build quality too.

Finally got my Nexus 6. I love it, it's super smooth even with the dreaded encryption, at least coming from a Note 3. Lollpop 5.0.1 is amazing, screen is amazing, build quality is the best I've ever had, I don't know what all the fuss is about. If anything my complaints are that the phone edges are almost too skinny, but I haven't been able to put my case on so that will help. I'm not sure I'm a fan of the "double pull down" notification shade, although it's not horrible. Also it's time for a English CA option. Google Play chose English UK by default. We should be able to choose our own preference on every UK/US variant to make it true to the confused Canadian way of life.

My Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the N6 got all stretched out and useless after taking it off once. Same thing happened with my Note 3 version. Why can't anyone make a decent actually-protective case besides Otterbox? I ordered a Diztronic due to goon recommendation but it doesn't seem like enough. I have nerve damage and constantly drop my poo poo.

Trusted location/smart lock is the only thing that didn't work great out of the box on my N6. I still have to do a pattern daily despite having two trusted bluetooth devices (G Watch R and Keylink) and my home location as trusted. And the GPS shows my location perfectly, down to the correct unit of the condo. I even turned on face recognition and I still have to do a pattern.

CLAM DOWN posted:Nexus 6 battery life is the best I've ever had on a phone, and I love the placement of the headphone jack! Agreed, it's exceeded my expectations in every way. Battery destroys the Note 3, camera is better than expected and also better than Note 3, 1440p is a noticable improvement over 1080p, Lollipop is wonderful, speakers are incredible, if anything my problem is it's too skinny and I can't find a way to block calls/notifications. Like there are options but people still interrupt games/videos etc. I don't really care about headphone placement except that on the bottom would make car usage annoying for my set up. edit: vvv height difference between N6 and iPhone 6+ is like 1.2mm if I remember correctly. i.e. nothing.

Never heard of that, even on reddit where every problem is re-posted a million times and seems to usually be the result of rooting/fuckery but no one wants to admit that. I just had a cool N6/Lollipop moment. Got a call from a number I didn't recognize via my watch, looked on my phone and it showed the name of my wife's employer with a photo of the interior as the background. I don't usually pick up weird numbers but did thanks to this feature.

I just had my first ever bad experience with lollipop, a hard crash while ironically while telling my wife that google cars could be a thing in 20 years. Maybe make that 30. Otherwise its been nearly perfect, much better than Jellybean on my S3 or Jellybean/KitKat on my Note 3. This is the only place I've seen where there's a negative impression of the software. But it's also by far the nerdiest so there ya go. UnfortunateSexFart fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Jan 8, 2015 |

Can you actually change the dialer on the Note 4? I don't care about settings menu aesthetics but not being able to really change the lovely dialer bugged me. You could download an app but as soon as you made a call it would go back to Touchwiz. The jankiness of lock screen replacements wasn't great either. Though Lollipop looks like it will fix my main problem there.

7 Bowls of Wrath posted:Compared with my wife's S5 on the same "version" of android, it is much better. I noticed that it actually has started to consolidate many of the lollipop-like variations in the OS like in the app-switcher and also in the notification shade. I wonder how much cosmetically will change with the new update (whenever it comes). We already have a good idea what it looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2DW6YKhLxY Honestly that video is what made me go with the N6. It's better but still ugly.

It's a huge improvement from my Nexus 5, and I don't know if I could get a "normal" sized phone again after getting used to the size of it, it rules. It's also the loudest goddamn phone I've ever used. I've yet to see anyone who's actually used an N6 say they dislike it, besides the "it's too big" crowd. For me, it's the best phone I've ever owned and I buy a flagship every year.

DangerZoneDelux posted:For some reason on my Nexus 6 I constantly hit the volume buttons. Pretty annoying to have it go from vibration mode to ear piercing levels without knowing I did that fishing the phone out of my pocket Diztronic's case solved that for me. It is one of the few things I'd improve with the N6 - buttons higher up and on opposite sides seems like a superior configuration.

I can't seem to figure out how to make it stop giving me travel info to this intersection since its not even part of my daily route. This happened to me, I picked up my wife downtown a few times and it decided my commute was five times as long, in a loop over two parallel bridges. Apparently resetting the data is the only way to fix it.

I know a Bell store manager who actually likes and uses the Blackberry Passport as his main phone. Even if you like physical keyboards the angle in which you have to bend your thumbs to use it seems painful to me.
