nexus 6p

I broke my case that might be a cosmetic piece but not sure exactly. I would like to get a new one maybe more rugged this time since I had the VRS Desgin case. Since most of the cases have been out for years now I would like to know what is the best at surviving a drop or fall mostly from about...

One of the new features included with the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL is the Always On Display. The feature has not officially made its way to older Google devices like the Pixel, Pixel XL or Nexus 6P, and it may never since Google likes to give their fans encouragement to buy new devices with...

A reddit user who had been using an iPhone for a few months while waiting on a replacement for his Nexus 6P pointed out that when he went to his Google Drive account to check on his backup of the device it was nowhere to be found. Apparently when you back up your Android device the backup file...

Currently Google Assistant is exclusive to the Pixel and Pixel XL, but it may be coming to the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P in the next major update. Google Assistant, for those unaware, is Google's virtual companion app. It is an intelligent personal assistant which can engage in two-way...

Now that CyanogenMod is dead it will take the rest of the Rom community stepping up to take the place of the now defunct custom rom juggernaut. One of the most popular Roms from the past is back with a new Rom release. We have not heard from CarbonRom in a while but they have just started the...

Google has built a security feature into Android which will lock you out of your device if you Factory Reset your phone without first deleting your accounts from the device. The only way to get past the FRP lock out is to enter your Google account information. That is great if you are locked out...

As devices age it is expected that some problems may arise. Smartphones are not built to last years and years. They now almost always include an internal non user replaceable battery. This has shortened the life span of many phones as the phone is useless once the battery expires which normally...

Cyanogen has finally began the rollout of CM14.1. Their latest build is based on Android 7.1 Nougat. This includes all the features from stock Android plus many custom features. The nightly builds are now available for the Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, Xiaomi Mi3/Mi4, LG G3, Moto G, LG G4, Galaxy S5...

The Nexus 6P finally has a build of Nougat, but we are starting to see why it may have taken so long to get this build out. It appears that the Nexus 6P may be having some battery issues on the new update. There is a video which showcases the specific issue. After taking a few pictures the...

Rootjunky has done it again! Every time Google comes out with a new version of Android Tom gets to work on fixing the stock images. The stock images from Google are meant to be flashed by simply double clicking the flashall.bat, but they never actually work. Not only does Tom fix the...

The Pixel has been overwhelmingly underwhelming. This sentiment is widespread through the Android Power user community. The main complaints are with the price point and the fact that at the higher price point the Pixel and Pixel XL are missing many of the features that flagship devices in the...

When the first Apple iPhone came out I never really had any interest in a smartphone. In those days if my phone had a 1mp camera and an MP3 player I was pretty happy. It wasn't until the G1 that my interest was peaked for a smartphone and then the OG Droid when I just knew I had to have one. I...

It looks like Google is finally clearing house in preparation for the new upcoming Nexus devices scheduled to release this fall. The Nexus 6P has been on a steady price drop and is now only $399! This is one of the best tech deals so far this year. The Nexus 6P is still an insanely capable...

Hey everyone. I'm looking for a portable charger for my Nexus 6P with a 5V 3A output for the fast charging capability. I have not had any luck finding one via google searching. Almost everything that comes up as "3A" is a dual port where one outputs 2A and the other 1A (so 3A total) which is...

Most companies will support their devices with software updates for up to 2 years. Google has actually been pretty good about keeping their devices updated well past the normal EOL cycle of other OEMs. The 2013 Nexus 7, and the Nexus 5 are perfect examples of devices that continue to receive...

Google has just released the next preview build of Android N. This is Developer Preview Build 4 or Beta Build 2. For now the build is supported on the Nexus 5x, Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, Nexus Player, Pixel C, and the General Mobile 4G. The build number is NPD56N. The easiest way to grab this...

So this is the issue that everyone will inadvertently run into when upgrading to a usb type-c device. While usb Type-c is the future of smartphones it will take some time to get fully adapted to it. I have a total of 3 USB Type C chargers and only 2 actual cables. On the other hand I have...

Tom is back at it again. He has been finding bypasses for the factory reset protection on just about every phone on the planet. What is so amusing about the whole situation is that Google is steadily patching up these holes that Tom is finding, but they aren't diving deep to try to find the...

Just received my Wood Grain Phone Case for my Nexus 6p from Carved.com and couldn't be happier. Check out this review and let me know what you think!

The Nexus 6P is a great device, but like many other devices it has a mechanism built in to slow it down slightly if it starts to overheat. This can be fixed! "Gorgtech" has posted a full guide showing how to disassemble the Nexus 6P, and mod the device for optimal cooling. This guide is pretty...
