I have a Note 4 with a Bluetooth streaming skipping issue, anyone have that with Nexus 6?

[Drew Hosick]

I just got the Note 4 after a lot of people told me to pick it up over the Nexus 6. I have to admit the camera is great and there's no lag. Long story short. My Note won't stream properly to the car for music. If I'm not doing anything else it skips every 30 seconds or so. It's a little skip here and a little buffer there. Just like what happens if you walk too far away from a bluetooth device when it starts cutting in and out. I tried my mom's S5 and got the same result although it wasn't as bad. I've been reading about a lot of people having this issue but only saw one post somewhere about someone with an N6 experiencing the same issue. Not sure if that was a one off or if it's common among many phones now because they say the issue they think has to do with the CPU powering itself so low that it can't keep up with the demand for bluetooth and music and then it skips and it will power the cpu back up to a higher percentage to correct and then it drops again, etc...

The only fix that seems to work for me and a lot of other people is to leave the screen on but that's a pain and it can't be good to have the screen on on a long trip for 6 or 8 hours anyways.

I do love the camera on the Note 4 and I have to say I never liked the lagginess of the Nexus 5 camera even though when it took good photos I thought they turned out nice. I'm a little torn here. I had a hard time adjusting to TouchWiz and still miss Vanilla even with Google Now Launcher on the Note 4 but once I've made the decision I'm set on one phone and need to know if the Nexus 6 has any bluetooth issues. Also how accurate is the gps? I ran into GPS issues with the N5. I had to trade in 2 of them to get one that worked fine.

I would probably go to the note forum and ask no GPS issues. The only Bluetooth issue I know of is the screen comes on if you have the phone in ambient display while skipping tracks. Supposed be fixed in 5.1.1

I listen to bluetooth streaming music everyday with my Nexus 6, and never had any of the issues you describe above...

And no one minds the screen quality? Is it as good as the Nexus 5 in reproduction of colours etc...? I know resolution is good but some people have pointed out something about the screen not being that great on the 6 when compared to the Note 4. I really love the screen on the Nexus 5 so it won't bother me to go down in screen quality as long as it's like the nexus 5.

People are complaining about a quad HD display?

Some people have talked about the colours not being as good, the red or pinkish colour at lower brightness levels and I've read about some people reporting burn-in on some Nexus 6s. I'm not trolling here by any means. I just want to know if those people are full of crap or have people experienced glitches with the Nexus 6 a lot?

The colors are a bit off for some but is it easily adjusted with the right tools . I have only seen one person complain about screen burn in so I can't speak to that .

Are you asking if the Nexus 6 screen quality is as good as the Nexus 5? Seriously? I absolutely have no burn in on my screen and I average 5 hours of SOT daily. When I drop my brightness down to an unreadable level using ambient display,I would say there is a slight hue toward pink, but who turns their brightness down that low? Turn off ambient display and the hue disappears regardless of brightness level, so what's the problem?

The screen does suck. Great phone but screen is too dark.
