you never exhaust all the options yet mah. too ruch too kanjiong.

just take note, now adays, with so many developments, it's really difficult to totally brick a phone. :o someone out there will have a way to save your phone, just need to google your problems and keep reading.

Agree partially on really difficult to totally brick an android phone. Most phone these days, even if you forcefully stop while in the process of flashing stock ROM, the bootloader "fastboot mode" won't be affected, or in Samsung's case, "download mode". So most of the time there is always a way to reflash.

But I had a recent experience with a relatively recent device that got bricked, LG G2. Laptop overheated and forcefully shut down while in the process of flashing stock ROM back, and it was soft bricked. In the process of trying to save it, it hard bricked. But thankfully at that point in time, someone figured a way to fix it, which involved messing with the motherboard itself. (https://plus.google.com/101430144009291688581/posts/RzARVQscNJ2)

So like Zaalaa said, someone out there might have a way to save your phone. Just need to search hard enough. Of course the chance of revival also depends highly on how popular the phone you have is. If it's a mainstream phone, more chances of people finding a way.

But that said, it is still super important to know what you're doing before you do it. Before I tinker with any device, before I do anything to the device, i make sure I have a way to revert the device back to its factory ROM first. Download all the factory images and tools required first too, just in case in the future the link doesn't work anymore. A bit excessive, but that could be the difference between a smartphone and a paperweight. :D

Maybe amazon is trying to wear out the buyers due to the incorrect pricing... I placed my order on Dec 28. Ship date says Feb 5-25. Let's see what happens tonight. I am not in a hurry and they have not charged me yet so it is somewhat OK. However, come March 1 when HTC and Samsung announces their new flagship phones I may just change my mind about the Nexus 6.

To those who have problem like the yellow screen..

Download a app call Screen Adjuster Free

Use the following settings
red +3
Green +10
Blue +29

Brightness +88
Contrast -21

Also.. Rmb to off Adaptive brightness

It helps on my screen.. No harm trying..

Now yellow appears more white..

I've asked Amazon.com regarding the order, they said they did not update the new shipping date as they are still waiting for stocks to arrive

Screen adjuster will slow down the performance.

If you are root, better use kcal Color Control App - Listing of kcal

By using Franco kernel, you get full adjust include saturation.

My setting:
Red - 237
Green - 235
Blue - 255
Min - 32

Saturation - 32
Value - 128
Contrast - 128

I received the same email. The delivery date is not March 27th, if you do not approve, they will cancel the order on March 27th if the item is not shipped. There is no delivery date now. I approved mine but will cancel if the newer phones turn out to be more attractive.

First time see Amazon ****ed up until like this.
They must really not want to honour the mistaken price.

The battery life really can't make it. Need to charge countless times on my daily business trip. :)

Can't even last a day.

Guys,

Is Nexus 6 launched locally here?

HiTec Mobile Funan is selling Nexus 6 32gb for 930 and they say its local set with motorola singapore warranty..

Motorola Nexus 6 32GB

I also skeptical, trying to find out from them who the distributor is. If it's Brightstar, it means it's 100% confirmed local stock since they're the ones selling Motorola phones so far.
