Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

[lunatic59]

I've got a Note 10.1 (2014) to satisfy my S-pen cravings. I was considering the LG G3 for a moment, but the N6 is so darn sexy and it's a Nexus. I just like saying "Nexus" .... Neeeeexxxusssss.

:creepy:

My Darling Bride has the same tablet. Great piece of gear. She hardly ever uses the S-pen. She hardly uses it at a fraction of its capacity. I'm going to start calling it Marvin because I can imagine what it's thinking:

"Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and what's she have me doing? Facebook. Amazon. Life... don't even talk to me about life..."

 

[lunatic59]

I got the Note instead of the Tab because of the s-pen and how it seems to be more responsive than a generic stylus. I wanted it specifically for sketching. I use it quite frequently to remote into our servers to monitor backups and other processes throughout the day.

I actually don't like the s-pen for general navigation.

After some tweaking midway thru yesterday...almost 5hrs SOT with the NexSix. I'm hoping for well over 5 today.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

 

[Unforgiven]

Happy Thanksgiving Mr The_Chief. Did your new toy make it?

 

[The_Chief]

It did! And happy to say it was NOT a Note 3 with a Note 4 sticker on it!

​

WHOOT!

So I'll be rooting it and setting it up tomorrow. I have a brand spankin' new 128GB card for it on the way, one day shipping so it'll be here tomorrow as well.

So all is moderately well at the Chief house

 

[lunatic59]

Just remember to keep it in your pocket during dinner chief. You wouldn't want to get any gravy on it.

 

[The_Chief]

Luna, are you suggesting that Thanksgiving would take precedence over my new shiny?



No, it actually doesn't. Which is why I will do all the toying, modding, setup, and basically voiding of the warranty tomorrow hee hee hee

 

[halon]

NexSix is now unlock, rooted and unencrypted.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And for those don't celebrate it, Have a great day!

 

[lunatic59]

I am thankful for my Sixus, my 360 and my wife who is putting up with my tech lust.

Setting up my rooted & ROMmed Note 4 DE! Her name is Alicia because she's like a leash on my hip

I will kinda miss Gina the Note 3... but this thing is a serious upgrade. Love it so far.

Congrats halon and The Chief on your new and newly rooted phones.

Ok.. Came to the only place I know to. My B R A N D N E W Nexus 6 will not allow me to talk without being on speaker phone ! Seriously! Did I do/ hit something wrong ? There is absolutely no feedback from the phone at all , no noise at all when it is to my ear. I Have tried someone calling me... Me calling someone etc.
So should I
A. Go to sprint and exchange it ?
B. Call customer service?
or C. Do a factory reset myself ?


H E L P !!! Please , anyone !!!

Have you checked in the N5 forum kym? It does sound like a problem, but maybe a fellow owner has experienced the same thing.

I am calling Sprint now.
BTW how was your Thanksgiving Unforgiven ? Hope you and your are healthy and happy !

I think I was more stuffed than the turkey. Everyone here is fine. My oldest broke up with his girlfriend over the weekend and moved home. Typical 20yo stuff. How was yours Thanksgiving? Is your son still enjoying his service?

Yes... he is still in Japan. Loves the military. Just "struck a rate" of AO ... (something about playing with bombs lol). He will be home the first of the year. Everything is all and well here.

I just talked to sprint ... they confirmed my issue and I can exchange the phone since I am within my 14 day period. Now I am not sure what to do. Is this a huge problem with Nexus or a isolated one? I have not heard in all my research that it was an issue widespread ?

 

[Unforgiven]

I just did a quick scan of the N6 forum and didn't see any threads for audio problems. I don't have one, so I don't know.

 

[lunatic59]

That's the first I've heard of that problem Kym. My N6 has been stellar and the sound is the best of any phone I've ever had. Did Sprint add anything to the phone that might have a hidden mute function? (Mine is AT&T branded , BTW)

If so (I've never seen that on Sprint though) a factory data reset would cure it.

Then again, lemons happen and they know that.

Glad to hear your son is doing well, looking forward to hearing about you like the N6 after that's all sorted out.

They were very kind and said they would give me a brand new one out the box. Since this is the first I have heard of it, I think I will stick to Nexus. No other phone is floating my boat right about now. I do love it, had it a week now. It is a wee bit large, but I think in time I will learn to live with it. The rapid charge is amazing although the battery lasts so long I barely need it. Lollipop has the "guest feature" which is so nice for when I pass it to my 10 year old. It is AMAZINGLY fast. Much faster than my S3 or S4.
Still learning how to deal with the lack of "gallery" but I haven't done to much research on that either.
It has exceeded my expectations thus far for sure.

Give QuickPic a try. It is to the Gallery what the Nexus 6 is to ... the iPhone 6

 

[sfbloodbrother]

Maybe it's a bad idea to collect nexus devices. I rarely use them, and they collect dust. Should I sell them and upgrade to a new phone? Like a Moto X?

Just randomly thinking.

I have had my N6 for a week today rooted romed and running like butter I had no sound issues but there are a few other things that I have noticed with the new phone that can be an annoyance at some times
