@mt & vulpix

read from some reviews that the power button is a little too sensitive. Any comments on this?

No, it's because if they grab the phone from middle, sure kenna button, right? I am used to now grab my phone off centre. Not a case of power button sensitive. I actually never ever press power button nowadays.

One great thing about this Nexus 6P screen:
No curved edges = no halo effect for screen protectors!!

One sian thing for me:
That new Anker QC2.0 powerbank I bought from Amazon, is now wasted $$$!!
(it's still very slim for a 10k powerbank, but unable to rapid-charge the 6P )

Is there any powerbank that supports rapid-charge for the 6P?

 

[doki81]

Sigh... My company work mail also not allow us to root... So my n6p also cannot root

Saw few anker powerbanks which support up to 3amps output, can try those.

Haha.. I just saw Vulpix post on reddit..

No one reply yet.

sacredsoul also posted on xda developer.

Subject to confirmation by the pros, rooting won't trip QFuse. If you put in a custom recovery, it will. I think at most nexus users might necessarily root to access certain functions. But to install custom recovery may not be so necessary.

Most nexus users wanna unlock bootloader. It's basically the first step once everyone gets a Nexus.
You install custom everything, rom, recovery, kernel.
So correct me if I'm wrong when I say Huawei messed up big time putting this fuse in.

So the command:

fastboot oem unlock

Will trip the qfuse? This is a required step to flash all partitions on the device using the factory image and has always been supported on the nexus.

You might have just discovered a reason to tell Huawei why it's tripped. Haha.

I think most people are concerned about the warranty portion. So far I haven't heard of any company officially stating they will support if the virtual fuse is blown.

Exactly, most users here wait for local sets partly due to warranty and a fair number including me will unlock bootloader and root, now with this?

I dunno if I will want to pre-order now or wait for more users here or xda to see any workaround.

Or can we check with Huawei? Not sure MT can assist? If yes thanks in advance.

Definitely agreed, I think I may just get cheaper 5x to play instead.

I think it's lame for qfuse. I also will do custom rom and recovery.

There should be differences like flashing wrong radio or without check MD5 and resulting in brick - to void warranty

And clear cut faulty due to wear and tear like power button nexus 4, Huawei should honour the warranty even if it's qfused

 

[thatguynokes]

I'm curious as well.. I will definitely unlock my BL and root my Nexus..

Why don't either MT or Vulpix just reboot to bootloader and see whether there is a "QFUSE Status" option? Maybe the screenshot below is from a development phone?

My guess is if you buy the phone from playstore Google would not check the qfuse status.

If you buy from huawei, you void your warranty.

Need to wait for Google's comment on this.

We can't buy from SG Google Store and it's a bitch to RMA an overseas set

Both ways are screwed then..

Google has never ever voided warranty for unlocking and rooting Nexus phones ever. In fact this is the precise reason for providing the nexus phones, for development.


Every one of my three previous Nexus devices have been unlocked as the first thing I do after powering them on. I've sent a Nexus5 back to Google Japan for rma in a unlocked and rooted state for screen replacement even.


Should Huawei Singapore refuse to provide warranty if unlocked, bring it up with Google and I am extremely confident they would honor the warranty and also speak to Huawei representatives in Singapore about it

 

[JackDulouz]

I'm inclined to think the devices sold by Huawei is not truly meant for development purposes while the one sold by Google are, like the nornal Moto X and the Pure Edition Moto X for example...

If so, bo bianz lor.. Just buy from Google Japan.

for last year nexus 6, the ppl who bought from motorola.com doesn't RMA to google, only ppl who bought from playstore RMA thru google.

they are separated, google never cared about unrooting the phone. they still rma as it is.

in the other hand, motorola insisted that if they found out the phone is rooted, they will void warranty.

in SG, we are buying from huawei, not google.

Think we all have to get from Google or Amazon if we want to use custom roms and such..

To be honest do we really need to root? Sorry guys, but the way I see it its alot of epenor boosting only. Rooting a phone has its implications and I have my doubts if many of the people that root actually fully comprehends what root access actually entails. Furthermore, apart from a few legitimate cases, what do we really need root for?

That's my 2 cents.

Apart from greenify which used to be an app I cant live without on my old note 3 and titanium backup root isn't so useful anymore. Doze is fantastic so far on my n6 and I haven't found any custom roms or kernel worth flashing (still early days) that needs tweaking. So nope can do without root for now
