    Battery Life Improvement when using Google Photos

    Several months ago, I got a LG Watch Urbane and paired it with my N6. It was a good marriage, but always-on Bluetooth caused a real dip in my N6 battery life. I never could find a solution, until today. It turns out that a big battery killer is the Google Photos app, which syncs to the cloud...

    Does the fact that the battery isn't user replaceable disturb you?

    The fact that the Nexus 6 doesn't have a removable memory card doesn't annoy me . A non-user replaceable seems to me, limits the useful life of the phone. Is it a case of planned obsolescents? How do you feel?

    Root What root apps/mods make sense specifically for Nexus 6

    Thanks to help from scaryalien and Rxpert83, my Nexus 6 is newly rooted. There are a couple of things I'm thinking about doing that are specifically related to the Nexus 6. Here's what comes to mind: 1 - Unbelievably, the N6 has no Miracast support. I see my elderly Mom in a home every day...

    I'm currently using 4.41 GB out of 54.65 GB on a 64GB Nexus 6. Just wondering what people's total storage reading is. I thought I had closer to 58GB total before flashing to Marshmallow but I could be wrong.
