Me too mate, me too

I was very tempted to get the VF LG G4 for £235 for a split second but I then thought how much I'd miss vanilla Android, so quickly ordered before I changed my mind again!

 

[kona786]

Agreed - it'd take a special handset for me to give up vanilla Android.

I'm still looking forward to the next crop of phones though - should be a good year.

USB port died on my N6... Would Motorola fix it if I ask them or will they tell me to go to o2 first ?

I'm pretty sure they'd take it direct and fix it.

There is a phone number in this thread....03339 997 550

OnePlus X money!

Some of us here got the 64GB for £190!! a few months back.

 

[Space Monkey]

£190 for a 64GB, I'm assuming that was an Expansys/Rakuten deal thingy?

 

[kona786]

Yeah that thingy

Finally got mine how I want it.

Running Dirty unicorn, Franco kernel, Nova launcher with no shortcuts just gestures looks so clean.

My new Nexus 6 has been shipped today, so I'll likely get it next week now, but Motorola are still being complete idiots and not sending my DHL return label, and have now stopped responding to my emails, their online chat system is equally useless, all they do is read off a script and tell you what you already know

I've now taken to all their twitter accounts to see if that makes a difference?

My replacement N6 arrived today, so far I've unlocked the bootloader & removed the encryption (which feels a lot snappier I must say) so my question: Do I root & install custom recovery? And do I re-lock the bootloader either before rooting or after, or should I keep it unlocked (if so, any worries by doing so?)

Leave it unlocked unless you need sky go, Barclays apps

Thanks, I don't need the Barclays app or the Sky Go either, so I guess I'm good to go by keeping it unlocked?

I believe franco's kernel will not re-enable encryption so your all good there.

TWRP should also not interfere IRC.

I also leave my bootloader unlocked as I'm not too concerned about any security issues associated with doing so.

Good to hear you noticed a little performance boost with encryption disabled - I'll be doing that on my next full wipe.

New phone all good build wise?

Just being unlocked has no bearing on anything working.

Loving being back on Android after a year with iOS (A WHOLE YEAR!..... without swapping phones)

Loving it so much so that i'm thinking of getting a N6 64gb to replace my 3 day old S6

I take it its still one of the best VFM handsets out there and a very good price on Motorola at the moment (Pity no white 64gb though)

 

[Space Monkey]

Yeah I picked up my current 64GB in blue recently for just over £260, bargain of phone at that price

OOS

Was in stock when i looked this morning, then went out of stock again, then back in again while i was out and about, and by the time i was back home it was out of stock again.

Fingers crossed it comes back in stock.
