Okay guys, i just caught up on this thread and I'm glad to here that everyone is enjoying there new toy. I received mines yesterday and started setting it up but was a bit peeved that I didn't get my project Fi sim I was told I would get with the phone. I also didn't realized that I had to cut down my Verizon sim from my G4 in order to make it fit in the nexus. And that is something I'm not willing to do because I want to compare the two services in my area. Anyhoo I am enjoying the little time that I have to play with it and will dedicate a little more time tomorrow since the boss is out ;) and even more time over the weekend.

BTW I also received my November 1 update yesterday which ended in L.

I called vzw to send me a nano. I then got a micro to nano adapter, activate nano sim on my old phone (note 4),then i just popped it on 6p.

Ok I have this weird thing happening. When I shake my phone or have it on my pocket and it moves it vibrates. I have no idea why this keeps happening. Any ideas what setting this is?

Um...that's a strange one. You're not touching the finger scanner while this is happening, are you? That'll cause it to vibrate a little if it doesn't recognize a finger...

Nope. When I have it on my back pocket it vibrates too when I walk. I tried shaking my phone like a karate chop just by touching the sides and it vibrates. So weird and annoying.

Thanks. I really like alot of what the LG phone added, but truthfully i was still on kitkat on the g2 never experienced lollipop :)
ive taken about 2 years away from romming and modifying the phone. well see how long i can go without unlocking the bootloader on this beast :)

Or get a nexus 5 (not 5x), which you can get for cheap, for all your modding fun. Nexus 5 is still unencrypted out of the box. Plus if you decide to build roms on it for fun and you have an oopsie you are not having to be concerned about it being a DD. Since having a phone I keep as a DD separate from my play phone I am able to have more fun. With project fi (or some cheap straight talk like company) I can see how the radio work if I so care. But 99% of the time I run it on WiFi. But I'm not having to wait and worry about trying to get my phone restored to answer work emails.

So maybe keep the nexus 6p bootloader unlocked so you can install your own updates but keep it as a stock DD that you use Android Pay on. And snag a nexus 5 for cheap as a play phone.
