When I broke my screen, the cheapest screen/digitizer I could find was $120, most were north of $150, so I'm skeptical of your $24 screen. Are you sure you're looking at the right thing? I sold my broken N6 on eBay for $70, and bought a brand new phone for $199. This was a year ago. Also...

Stay away from N! My Nexus 6 (nearly identical internals as the Droid Turbo) battery life was pretty good on L and M, I could go from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM every day with fairly heavy usage, but starting the day I installed N, now I can hardly make it to noon before I have to find a power outlet...

I bought my kids refurbished Motorola Droid Turbos off of eBay about six months ago for $115 each. They're darn nice little phones, so out of curiosity, I checked out the comparison between the Droid Turbo and my N6. As it turns out, they're almost identical phones, which I guess shouldn't...

I don't have a lot of cool apps, maybe I need some, too! I tend to use Pandora, Waze, HBOGo, Netflix, ESPN, and Fox. I also have Sceene for photo manipulation (more fun than truly useful), and Strava for cycling. I tend to use the browser (Chrome) to consume a lot of content/services rather...

I think it will work fine, but it's a lot easier to get 7.0 on the N6 by signing up for the Android beta. That's what I did, and I received the "OTA upgrade available" notification within 5 minutes of signing up. I haven't confirmed, but I read that this method yields the same build as...

I got tired of waiting, and did the beta thing. My battery life declined significantly, BTW. I used to get to 10:00 p before hitting battery saver mode, now I barely make it to lunch. Darn.

The first step is admitting that you have a problem. ;)

Has anyone replaced Google Now ("OK Google") with Google Assistant on their N6 yet? I'm trying to decide if it's worth the effort to install it (unsupoprted and requires root). I'm getting a Google Home device this week (which uses Google Assistant), and it would be cool to have the same...

Nope. Still waiting for my N6. I got it on my 5X on Verizon more than a month ago.

Ok, sounds good. ;) (I don't have the energy to fight you)

Is the screen cracked? Was it dropped, or did it just stop working suddenly for no reason? I'm curious, because if it was the later, I'm wondering if you could use recovery mode, which you might be able to access by using the hardware buttons (not screen buttons) to blindly work through menus...

I think it's unlikely that a software update would cause a physical hardware problem. Have you performed a factory reset?

This isn't as big of a deal as you're making it. Nougat is an outstanding OS, and the phones will continue to get security updates. Even if a major OS update ("O") is released sometime in year three, please explain how that's such a massively crippling issue for people who still choose to...

Exactly.

Nice video, Ryan. I think it helps to confirm that innovation has slowed. Apple is left stunts like removing the headphone jack (and the sheeple stillstand in line to buy it), and Google just makes a different phone that is similar to a lot of other phones (except it's more expensive, and has...
