    Nexus 6 visual dating clues?

    So I am planning on getting a used N6 from Swappa. Of course, I'd rather get a 6 month old one than a 2 year old one. Some sellers are not the original owners so they don't necessarily know the age. Are there any visual clues to determine an earlier or later production phone? I read you can...

    Root Rooted/Non-update/Update notification question

    I am on 4.4.3 and prefer to stay that way. Things are Just As I like them now. EXCEPT for the incessant System Update Notification. I am rooted with the Stock Rom. I rooted with the Wugs tool kit and that's about the extent of my abilities. I was told in MetroPCS-ville that I can do the...

    Did you know Google Now, "Navigate to blah, blah" works?

    One thing that's always been a PIA of Navigate for me is setting the destination easily and quickly. I usually put it in ahead of time it's such a PIA for me to do on the fly. (Driving) So tonight I'm listening to Erica Griffin's N4 Mother of all reviews to see if I'd missed anything good with...

    Help Wireless charger weirdness, charger w/Ringke Fusion case weirdness? or No weirdness?

    So I'm on activation curfew with my N4 until I can sell my Spirit :( but that doesn't stop me from getting some "needed" goodies for it and getting it set up in the meantime. Thankfully it came with the Fusion case as I might likely have gotten that one anyway if it hadn't. So I got this...

    Absolute MAXIMUM baseline battery time for future reference

    Help Why isn't Google Now to the far left of my home screen?

    From all I have read, with KitKat, the furthest screen to the left is the Google Now screen. It isn't on My N4. I did activate it and I can access it via a upwards swipe from a soft button but I have searched and can't find out how to make it that far left screen. Help please ?:confused...

    Nubbies Vs Nubbieless, What's the deal?

    I'm confused. Some of the N4's appear to have just a flat glass back. Some have "the nubbies" that look patterned (kinda). Is one newer than the other? If so, about when did they change? What's the deal? :confused: Bruce in Ocala, Fl-wondrin' if he needs da nubbies or not

    Root Best ROM to have preloaded on N4?

    The main reason I'd want it rooted would be to enable LTE of course. I see several different ROMs on rooted phones already on SWAPPA, which one is the most widely used and error free? Any to stay away from (unfinished?) I'm kinda skeered of doing it all myself but it seems there's lots...
