kmanracing24 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Reading the list of Lollipop features, I see many, many new features are from 3rd party roms and xposed. Having these features now makes me feel a bit underwhelmed. Obviously The UI changes are huge but overall, I can do a lot of the L stuff now with kit kat. Just an observation. Still excited thought! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of xposed modules came from custom ROMs to begin with. Google tends to take inspiration from the community. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xposed likely wont available on Android L since the Runtime will be defaulted to ART and Xposed doesn't play with ART. To get the Xposed features, you'd have to flash a ROM that has the mods implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z250kid Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It supports all the roaming bands of the CCA/RRPP. However, we have no idea when roaming will become active. But the Nexus 6 looks to be leader in capability in support of LTE roaming bands in North America for the moment. Just take my money!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modplan Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Xposed doesn't work with art for now (which I knew) or it never will or can't? It will, the dev is working on it, but he has stated it is pretty tricky, so it might be a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmanracing24 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It will, the dev is working on it, but he has stated it is pretty tricky, so it might be a while.Hmm. I may stick with kit kat until xposed is working. I'm way too reliant on xposed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanA Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The chances of xposed ever working on stock are slim to none with lollipop. Google tightened security a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afazel Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It will, the dev is working on it, but he has stated it is pretty tricky, so it might be a while. Last update I saw on it was that he had it figured out, but he wasn't going to work on it until Google finalized ART in a major release.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk I think that's what he wrote in the FAQ on XDA. He said it wasn't worth coding for it when they might make major changes to ART at the last second.

dedub Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 coming soon at play store, with prices & colors/storage https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_6_64GB_Midnight_Blue?id=nexus_6_blue_64gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWIKSTRIKE Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Me Too! I want one! I'll at least wait until some others get one to see how they perform. With the roaming base bands included, and screen size this slips ever so close to the Note. Pure Google, and upgrades straight from Google makes this a worthy upgrade from the Nexus 5 in may ways, 1. roaming capable 2. great screen size 3. battery life 4. 15 minute turbo charging 5. Pure Android....future software upgrades, 1st bug fix upgrades 6. built in wireless charging 7. dual speakers that won't sound tiny I hope 8. great dual flash 9. 3 gigs of memory 9. plenty of storage 10. Motorola's exceptional antenna signal strength 11. splash resistance Cons not 64 bit 13 mp camera 2x as much as the 16gig Nexus 5 for the 32Gig Version All in all not a bad phone too bad none of the Moto X software suite is not offered in addition to make this phablet really stand out.

ingenium Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 So it's been announced that wifi calling will be available through an OTA update on T-mobile sometime early next year. What do you think the odds are that Sprint will get it as well? Also, this may be a stupid question, but does it support HD Voice on Sprint? Does the Nexus 5 currently support it?

gr8nuguy Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 10. Motorola's exceptional antenna signal strength 10 is TDB . Last Motorola phone sprint had wasnt so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chemist Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Probably. And yes, the nexus 5 supports HD voice as well as the 6. This may sound like a stupid question, but... Do you get HD voice on the Nexus 6 only on the version you buy from Sprint or will it be available on the Nexus 6 if purchased from Google as well. That probably wouldn't be possible would it?

The Nexus 5 was the same regardless of place of purchase. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Thanks, I knew the phones were all the same, but what is confusing me is the fact that in order to be compatible with Sprint's HD voice, the Sprint phone would have to have different software than the units sold by Google, since all HD voice systems are not the same. Does that sound logical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that sound logical? It's sound logic, but it's not necessarily necessary.. The Nexus 6 can have HD Voice, and still be a single sku, used on all networks. (Just as the Nexus 5 today is a single US sku, and still has Sprint-specific software on it, such as the hands free activation piece. Every T-Mobile Nexus 5 has Sprint-specific software on it, just waiting to go live on the off chance you throw a Sprint sim card in there) I'm not saying that the Nexus 6 *will* have HD voice, but there's zero reason it couldn't, even if every Nexus 6 is identical in hardware+software. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTCandroid Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'll probably use my upgrade to get the iphone 6 and sell it and buy the Nexus 6 from Google. Hopefully to take advantage of that one time screen replacement if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
