I want to try and find a clear protective case. The phone is so awesome looking. It would be a shame to cover it up. I am normally not a person who likes gold. I prefer silver and pewter, but when I saw the white and gold version of the 6+ it was a must have... The gold is not gaudy or obnoxious at all.

Thanks Steve & Dean for your input. My Note 4 is of adequate volume near the fume hoods, but not outstanding. The LG G2 & LG G3 are really good in noisy environments. They crank through the earpiece! Some owners of the 6 Plus said they had to activate the hearing aid function in order to be gain adequate volume. Just for laughs, I tried that on the Note 4. It really does a nice job of permanently adding extra volume. On the G2 and G3, the hearing aid function narrows down the frequency response making the earpiece sound extremely tinny. Of course those two devices are really loud and more than adequate to begin with. At least after hearing you both say the 6 Plus volume is ok and the device has great sound, I'm less apprehensive about the purchase. I'll also look for a good case for the device. At $949, I'd hate to destroy it with a single slip of the hand! Thanks again.

I am thinking of purchasing the iPhone 6 Plus 128 GB Gold. I have read many complaints from users who claim that the earpiece volume is not loud enough when turned up the entire way. These individuals say that they realize they have to remove the plastic and have indeed done so. Please forgive me if there was a previous post on this thread about an issue with low earpoece volume. I searched first, but only found a comment about not removing the plastic covering over the earpiece. From what I have read, this issue appears to be specific to the 6 Plus and not the 6. Does any owner here feel that the earpiece volume is indeed lacking or inadequate on their 6 Plus? I work in a lab where fume hoods roar and I want to make sure, before spending that kind of money. My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is adequate in the envirnment that I use it in, but just wanted to check and see what 6 Plus owners think. One more question: How is the vibrator motor in the 6 Plus? I can never even feel the one in my Note 4 even with the intensity up to the max. A big thanks to all responders!

I resurected my Mega 6.3 just this week and use it at home on WiFi as "twospitits" does. I cannot say that my screan is washed out. I was comparing photos on the Mega 6.3 screen to my Galaxy Note 4. I was really impressed with the screen quality. I couldn't believe how vivid and vibrant the colors were along with the overall brightness and saturation. I liked the way the 720p Mega 6.3 screen held up against the Note 4 quad HD screen. No complaints. I really wish Samsung would make a new Mega 6.3 with an amoled panel and modern Snapdragon processor. It would be killer.

Used to be a Shentel Tower here (Red Circle) that broadcasted 800 LTE. Not listed on map any longer and Sprint said it does not broadcast 800 LTE, only 1900. Sprint also said no 800 LTE within a 5 mile radius. IThat has to be incorrect data. I receive 800 LTE at -88 dBm. Data speed is abysmal though. -
AT&T has been hitting mid 40's for DL speeds in the Harrisburg area. I was at Sam's Cub off of Grayson road yesterday. Tested AT&T in the parking lot got 45.15 DL and 40.99 on the two tests I ran.

My G3 keyboard does that nonsense as well. I would like to switch to the Google keyboard but hate the android characters instead of the regular smileys. The LG keyboard appears a little snappier after today's software update, but that wasn't on the list if additions and fixes.
-
So did you take the plunge? I really love my G3. The RF is really good and sound quality is excellent. The only gripe (hopefully fixed in the forthcoming update) is the convoluted headphone jack.
-
You are correct. The battery in the G2 is not easy to replace. I saw a tear - down video on YouTube. With my G3, I have only needed to recharge every 2 to 3 days. Hopefully this will slow down the battery degradation. Of course, the battery is replaceable anyway, so no big deal.

Did your original battery die in less than a year?

Awesome! Thanks for posting.

FTC sues AT&T for misleading customers on unlimited data

It's a rare treat to get an HD call at this point in time. Even though both my GF and I meet all criteria to determine what establishes an HD call. Maybe Shentel is still working on the system...At this point it's about 1 in every 20 calls. -

I don't have the case yet. It will be released on Monday from a seller on Amazon. Here is a link in-case you want to check it out. It should ship to me on Monday. I've been using the same case on my LG G3 and really like it. http://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Ultra-Bumper-Protective-Google/dp/B00OMMLL8C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414714118&sr=8-1&keywords=Tudia+nexus+6 -

You bring up a valid question. The 760492013512 physically fits, but as for 100% rural roaming compatibility, I don't know. EDIT: I didn't see Lilotimz post before I replied. -
