    New 2XL, how do I "restore" text history?

    Hello, so I just got my awesome new 2XL... Upon setup, I chose to restore data from Google drive, where I had backed up from my old Nexus 6P... Photos and call history transferred over, but my text history did not. Any way I can transfer over text history? Thank you!

    Best places to buy parts for 6P?

    I am thinking of replacing my screen/ digitizer, and front camera. There are a lot of different vendors to use with a great price variation- screens seem to be $60-$120. How do you know if parts are the same quality as original? It's even confusing as to whether parts being sold are new or...

    Display problems- display cable disconnect/ reconnect?

    Thanks-what do you think the odds are that it is the motherboard? What would those signs/ symptoms be? From research, seems it could be the motherboard, and I don't want to spend the money on a new display if it won't solve the problem. Thoughts?

    Display problems- display cable disconnect/ reconnect?

    I am looking on advice from owners who have detached and reconnected the display cable on their 6P? Is it easy to do? Aside from getting to it (I have watched some tutorials) does the ribbon cable just snap off then back on? Here's my problem... When I go to activate my screen, it...

    Spots on Camera Lens?

    Whoa! How did you replace the camera for 10 bucks? Didn't you have to take the phone apart? I have spots on my camera also- I'm sure it's dust caught between the glass elements... within the phone body... but I figure I have to pull it all apart to clean it?

    Can't transfer all data from old Moto G to new Nexus 6P...

    I tried using the program "SMS backup and restore" on both phones... My call logs, text logs and some of my photos did transfer over, but not all photos- and not my contacts. I also tried backing up the Moto G to Google Drive, but I don't see the backup when I log on to Google from the new...

    Nexus 6P that was bought for Google fi- will it work on Verizon?

    Wow, thanks for the quick reply! A little confused though... Verizon customers do use 6p's, don't they? You're just saying Verizon doesn't sell them?

    Nexus 6P that was bought for Google fi- will it work on Verizon?

    I'm looking for a good used Nexus 6p to use with Verizon. There seem to be plenty of sellers who bought them to use with Google fi, but now want to get rid of them. Will these phones work on VZN, provided I get the proper nano SIM card? In short, the Google Nexus 6p same as the Nexus 6p...

    AT&T S7 Edge work on Verizon?

    Re: AT&T S7 Edge work on Verizon? You are probably completely right; the guy I might buy the phone from said he used it on AT&T though... just trying to figure this out.

    AT&T S7 Edge work on Verizon?

    I might be able to get a good price on an S7 that's on AT&T... but I want to use it on VZN. I see the phone works on several channels used by both carriers. Would an ATT S7 work just fine for me on Verizon? Thanks, J.

    Alternatives to the Huawei Nexus 6P?

    This is still a tough call.. Honor 8 will not work b/c it's not a CDMA phone. I would go with the LG G5, but there seem to be A LOT of issues with it.. Still would love to see the 6P price go down. Maybe I can wait it out till another price drop before Christmas? It could happen...
