Thinking of buying nexus 6, got a few questions

I have a nexus 5, I love it but one bug that irritates me is the constant drop signal, does the nexus 6 signal have drop issues , how's the antenna?
What are some bugs the nexus 6 has that have not been addressed yet?

Thinking of buying (or the Note5)

I don't understand why the Galaxy s6 and it's variants can't run CM. I know that it has to do with this type of chipset, but I guess my real question is what makes the CPU
"un-CMable"?

Disappointed by the LG Nexus 5X specs and price ... is the LG G4 still worth buying?

As the title says, I am really disappointed by the N5X price in Europe compared to the specs. Is the LG G4 still worth buying it?
Is the LG overlay acceptable? (This is the only thing which really holds me off buying the G4 at the moment, because I really love stock Android)
Is LG offering some stock Android experience? (like HTC did)
How fast the software updates get released?

N910c vs. N910T on Tmobile in Chicago?...Is it worth buying for Exynos??

I'm on the fence and want a n910c for tmobile in Chicago area however I'm leary of bad coverage without that 1700 aws band.
For those of you in major metropolitan cities with tmobile, does the lack of 1700 aws band make or break your decision to get this device?

How much better/ faster is the n910c vs n910T in day to day use (web browsing, youtube, mx player, email...basic apps....not much gaming?)
I'm more concerned with the smoothness and iOS like smoothness some people say the Exynos provides.

Is the Exynos version that much better vs the Snapdragon re: fluidity, TW lag reduction and overall daily enjoyment?

Google store delivery in Sweden - Error while buying

Hi!
I'm planning to buy the Nexus 5X and was, as suggested by someone faking an order on the google store to add my address and credit card information and check if all is ok.
I'm in Sweden for a few month, coming from France (my Google store is in French)
On the order page, under my payment infos I've got the error : "Invalid payment method / the articles are not available in your region", and under my shipping address : "The seller does not ship to this address"
Both shipping and paying address are in Sweden, and this happens for every product in the store I try to buy.

Any ideas why? Seems that the problem will repeat with the 5X and I don't want to miss the first batch

Thanks for advance!

Which processor brand to choose when buying a new device?

Hey XDA Community,

after 3 1/2 years i'll retire my Galaxy S3 and get a new phone. So far so easy.

But as a Android enthusiast, i can't just buy a new phone, it has to be a phone which offers a good hardware base for using custom roms. And what i learned in the last 3 1/2 years is that, for example, Samsungs Exynos processors are NOT a good hardware base and rom developers hate Exynos processors.

So here we come to the magic question: Which is, from a developer view, the best, and what are acceptable processor brands which allow developers to develop a rom (more precisely the "device tree") which can make use of all of the processors features and its performance?

I think the following two brands are well known among all custom rom users and don't need to be commented:

• Exynos -> as described above, "the Antichrist"


• Qualcomm Snapdragon -> as far as i know the Holy Grail for developers

But what about the "underdogs"? How developer friendly are the following processor brands which now appear more and more in (flagship) phones from Huawei, Xiaomi and many other smaller phone manufacturers:

• MediaTek


• Hisilicon Kirin


• Nvidia Tegra

I'm excited about your experience with and recommendations for these "underdogs", especially if you are a developer! :)

Best regards,
Mika

If you were buying a new phone

There are so many to choose from, I've somewhat narrowed it down to a few but will not exclude others. MicroSD expansion, removeable battery, rootability and running custom roms make up my criteria. I am on AT&T currently using a Note 4, my carrier limits some of the samsung devices from being root friendly, so really not looking at the s6 and note 5 although I could buy a T-Mobile variant and use it on at&t. Really like what I see from the moto x style (pure), lg nexus 5x(awaiting verified specs), Huawei nexus 6p (awaiting verified specs) and the lg g4. Tomorrow (9/29/15) is the Google announcement of the two new Nexus devices (LG 5x and Huawei 6PP) and the first two devices to be running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. I enjoy reading the input of fellow xda members and figured if you were me, which one would you pick? Or would you pick something else?

Help buying a device from outside the US from US Play Store

Its a known fact that the billing address must be a US address in order buy it from US Play Store. I have bought previously from US Play Store using a Forwarding Courier, MyUS address. I was wonder if still Google accepts any forwarding courier cause I plan to pre-order my Nexus 6P.

Considering buying a ZE551ML. Questions about rom's development and different CPU's.

Hi,

I have an opportunity to buy a ZE551ML 16Gb for a very good price. I saw that on the specs, it's a 4GB RAM device, but with the 1.8GHz CPU.

Will every Z00A rom work with it? Would there be any flashing restrictions considering that it does not have a 2.3GHz?

The whole idea is... I can get both ZE550ML and ZE551ML 16Gb at an affordable price and just want to choose the one that will receive the more development. So far, seems to me the Z00A has more custom roms. :D

Thanks,

Anghi

Are there any issues with buying an X Play from a carrier? (XT1563 model)

I'd like to get one and my easiest way of acquiring one is through a local carrier, but I'm worried if it will have some kind of pitfall. Will I stop getting updates? Will they be slow to arrive? Can it be turned to a stock pure version without the bloatware via a stock rom? Is it worth it? Keep in mind it's the XT1563 latin american version. And the carrier is Nextel.
