Does anyone still find themselves looking at the end of the USB C connector as if to check you have it the right way round before you plug it in? I know it's not necessary, but it seems deeply ingrained.

Yes, also keep jabbing the bottom speaker to wake it up coming from a Samsung Note 3. Shame double tap to wake is disabled without root It's such a useful feature on my girlfriends LG G4

LOL, thought I was the only one doing that. I'm struggling with software buttons after coming from a Note4.

Yep, I keep double tapping the screen to wake it too.

If anyone wants to see what the 6P looks like with the DPI set to 460 (seems to be the sweet spot for me) I've posted some pics below.

The default is 560 if you want to go back.

To change it without root:

Get ADB on your PC
Connect phone
Issue this command: ADB shell wm density DPI you want
Reboot phone

If you don't like it, pop 560 back in there and all will be back to normal.

So changing the DPI just makes everything smaller? Just wondering what the advantges of this are.

Is that Google Now Launcher? I already use Nova and have a 5x6 app draw and a 5x5 desktop.

Lower dpi give you more room to work with.

In a perfect world you'd have control over dpi per app.

I see, cheers Kona

Yes I can see how that would be handy.

Yeah the clear one, coming from China no doubt.

Received today after chasing the seller yesterday. Have to say I prefer it over the spigen - adds far less bulk, is rounded and not chamfered so is more comfortable around the bottom of the phone, is more grippy and IMO looks better as it shows the phone off rather than covering it up.
£3 well spent!

Yup I miss the old PA for that

Got mine today as well, it had a 24 hour RM sticker on it so BS that it was sent over a week ago, they are going to get a poor review from me on the delivery.

Revived mine today and its fine. Great phone.

I keep going to order. Can't justify getting this to replace my nexus 6... Can I ?

I can't personally, not enough of a jump from an N6.

_Jimlad_ · 10 Nov 2015 at 19:52

Yeah I guess. For me I take a lot of pics and video of my little kids. The camera seems to be an upgrade. Not sure on video

Awahwah · 10 Nov 2015 at 20:01

Do it Jimlad.

Hmm interestings. Are there any performance hits in doing this?

The force is strong with you.

You have resisted quite well.

I need pics of the 6P in Frost White. I'm very tempted by the phone and this colour but need a bit of convincing.

fragglerok · 10 Nov 2015 at 20:12

Still waiting for my 128gb graphite to turn up. Latest estimate is 7-14 th anyone else got theirs? Ordered 6/10

Ok, I've decided to keep the Graphite one. The screen is just so much better than the two (yes two) aluminium ones I've had, both had quite a strong pink tint over the whole screen where as the graphite one doesn't and tbh it looks better in the case I'm using - Spigen Rugged Armor.
