there's nothing I care about with this phone but I'm going to get it anyway. #applefanboi

I like the water resistance and better battery. Also, I ordered the (apparently) extremely rare Jet Black, so I'll be extra cool.  :gocho:

that one looks really cool but apparently scratches bad but then again, the curved edges make it so easy to drop that you almost have to have a case

I got a clear case. Hopefully my phone will be here by Friday.

HELP!!! I have a Nexus 6P and it won't update to Nougat. I do the update, it takes 30 minutes to reboot, and then I get another notice that I need to update to Nougat. What's really confusing is the update size is different every time. I've now downloaded what I think is Nougat six times and I can't.find this issue on the android forums. Is this what is referred to as a boot loop? How in the hell can I fix this?

You mean like wipe everything and start over? Factory reset?

Luckily, the seventh time was the charm and the update actually took, otherwise pulling the battery out of the 6p is a hard no!

No...but seriously considering Sprint.  Their coverage scares the crap out of me though.

If you just buy your phone out right and aren't on an upgrade installment plan the price difference really isn't that much

welp, cracked my screen today with my case on.

checked my bill and my wife had signed us up for insurance but the insurance has a $200 deductible.

so my wife is going to upgrade to a 7 and I am going to replace my 6 with her 6.

I have never cracked a phone screen. I always use a moderate case with a bumper edge and a military shield screen protector.
