Right, after a bit of investigation, I think I have a workaround but only if you are on Marshmallow.

Problem: When phone is locked, airplane mode (and also cellar data) quick toggles available from pull down menu. This means that they can be turned off if your phone was stolen and you cannot remote wipe or track your phone using the 'find my phone' functionality.

Workaround: Activate System UI Tuner (here: http://www.droid-life.com/2015/08/17/turn-on-system-ui-tuner-in-android-6-0-preview-3/)

Once done, you can actually remove the airplane mode and cellar data quick toggles from the drop down. All System UI Tuner settings explained here: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-use-system-ui-tuner-make-your-android-marshmallow-device-smarter-1526077

I am hoping that the link I provide in my previous post above, also covers this from a root wipe as you need you google account password.

EDIT: Test: Location toggle also needs to be removed as turning this off means find my phone functionality also wont work

Thanks a million for that mate ;-)

I've used mine for calls with one that's based on the parrot system so should work with those anyway.

Used it with a 2011 Focus with no issues. I can't imagine that this would be a problem, Bluetooth is designed to be completely backwards compatible, for whatever features were in the original bluetooth version. Obviously new features won't work if the car has an old version of bluetooth, but the basics will be fine.

Do you know what delivery costs are for that fuzzy? Selling my iPhone 6s and was going to go back to android. Was looking at the one plus 2 but if this was only 100e more I may go for it.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 09-12-2015 1:01pm

Hmm it doesn't seem to be working, maybe it was a pricing error or possibly just sold out?

theintern · 09-12-2015 1:09pm

Sold out I think. The 64 went quick too. It was about €8 for delivery.

Still waiting on it for my 6P. ..

madmoe · 10-12-2015 4:01pm

No update for me just yet.

I have now had three 6P devices sent out to me and ALL of them have had scratches around the SIM tray and the charging port on the chamfered edges! All three devices were frost 64GB. I'm sending the last one back tomorrow for a full refund! In two minds now as to go and buy a 64GB graphite when I get my money back or just skip the 6P altogether!?

Any other 6P frost\aluminium owners out there?

Thanks,
M

I've got a aluminium 64gb 6P. No marks or scratches. Loving the phone. It's the best phone I've had. Go for the aluminium

OK mate, you are lucky then! Out of the box they all had scratch marks in the places I mentioned! The second one even had a mark on the screen even with it's supposedly unsearchable Gorilla Glass 4!! :mad:

Just got it a few minutes ago

Got 6.0.1 about an hour ago.

Silly question, how do I get the new emojis? Is there a specific keyboard I need to add?

They should be included in the stock Google keyboard after the update..

I must be going daft, I can't see anything or additional potions to add new keyboards.

I am looking at the list here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/12/07/huge-pictures-here-is-every-single-emoji-in-android-as-of-the-new-6-0-1-marshmallow-update

There is no option on my keyboard layout to switch to emojis. Any help?

If you press and hold the enter key you'll be given the emojis option. For Google keyboard settings press and hold the coma , key for the keyboard setting options

Got a 6P last week and I've just noticed a scratch on the screen. Very minor. Not sure if it was there out of the box. Is this a common problem?

I received a replacement unit and it had a scratch on it too, very small but I noticed it out of the box! I have had 3 x 64GB frost versions and I have not been fully satisfied with any of them! They are all going back and I'm getting a full refund.

Thanks,
M

Do you know can they replace the screen rather than replacing the entire phone? I just spend about 5 hours customising it!
