    Root To decrypt or not to decrypt

    I figure while I am waiting for my N6 we could have a chat about encryption vs decrypting. Now, I already plan on root and unlocking my bootloader so thats a moot point right there. The encryption issue? Well I am on the fence about that. I suspect roms (I don't think I will be playing much with...

    Help Is my mic defective?

    I'm on my second Nexus 6. The first one I had arrived damaged so I returned it for the one I currently have. So far its great, though I'm not sure if there's a problem with my microphone.

    Root Franco Kernel Discussion Thread [R32 6.0 M]

    Franco released his r1 kernel for the nexus 6 last night. This is a favorite kernel for many of the longtime nexus users, and people new to nexus will likely like it as well. I flashed it last night and everything is working just fine. Its feature packed, with more likely to come as further...

    Root Rooting question

    I love my phones to be rooted as I like firewalls running. I never use roms, just root. So how easy is it to do with a nexus device? And will it effect the OTA updates? On my last phone the root process was a bit painful and horrid to unroot. Plus for some reason the devs removed the default...

    Help restore SMS

    So how do you restore your Txt messages? This did not happen doing the nfc transfer or account sync. So I went back into my Txt on my hox and backed them up and sent them to myself, but the n6 has no restore option that I could find. Any clues?

    Help Bluetooth Connection Issues/Discussion

    Does anyone else have Bluetooth auto-connect issues? I paired my N6 with my car, my laptop, and a speaker without any problems, but it won't auto-connect to any paired devices. This is mainly a problem when I get in my car, although it also renders trusted devices pretty pointless. Trying to...

    Root Quick Root Question

    Currently have a T-Mobile Nexus 6 with a verizon sim in it. I have seen a few apps that I want to take advantage of which require root such as notification light, tap to wake and Wifi tethering. If I root this, will it continue to receive the OTA updates?

    There is frequently a burst of static fairly frequently when the sound effect plays after saying "Ok Google" or pressing the voice search button with my new Nexus 6 (stock, still on 5.0, haven't gotten upgrade to 5.0.1 yet). Sounds like a "pop". None of my other devices currently have this...

    Root What ROM(s) are you rocking?

    It is still early but more and more alphas and betas are popping up so I am wondering what people are trying. I have only tried SlimRom and it runs very well. I only run it for the ability to force the volume buttons to always control the media volume.

    Root Question - Motorola vs. Nexus

    So I have been pondering, I wanted my Nexus 6 because I wanted the specifications. Specifically 3GB RAM, Snapdragon 805, 3220 mAh battery, wireless charging and of course made by Motorola. I was not so interested in the "open nature" of the platform, hence my being ok with buying a locked down...

    Help Nexus 6 Auto brightness

    So I got my RMA device for the rattling/clicky vibration motor in my 1st N6, and the good news is the new one is much, much better. No rattle, but a high pitched subtle "click" every so often. I can live with that. But what I noticed is that the new device's brightness is a little lower at the...
