Try backing up and re flashing the stock ROM. Start with a clean slate.

If that doesn't work it's probably a hardware error and you'll need to send it in for repairs or replacement.

This is what I experienced with my Note 3. It had a hardware problem.

Should i purchase nexus 6 ? I am getting at 25k with exchange of my old nexus 4

My budget is 25k, As i heard op2 have too many bugs

TIA
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
I am a Nexus 6 user and I totally ask you to look elsewhere cause Nexus 6 had quality and service issue... Pls don't waste money on this... Get iPhone5 for this... And I hate iphone. Just imagine how bad it would be also a lot of refurbished devices in main market
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Wait for the new Nexus 5 expected to be released Sept end. The Nexus 6 has issues and is a hit and miss with regards to quality. I have one that hasn't given any problem but many owners have faced some issue or the other primarily the back peeling off.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I got a N6 in march and I had to replace it because of uneven screen, the replacement came and it had an uneven screen too. Flipkart made me go to a service center, get a jobsheet and then issued a refund. What is wrong with flipkart, many people are complaining about defective handsets, uneven screens, speaker too low, or vibrating motor rattling. I spend a good amout of time reading this thread, many people have random restarts and battery expanding. I really love the device, it is just perfect for me but I am afraid to get one because of this long list of quality control issues. I am using a Galaxy S6 since almost 6 months, it is a great device, the display is beautiful, the best in the market. Everything is great about the phone but I miss the N6 screen size and the custom rom support, the mods I was able to do on it. I am thinking of selling the S6 and getting a Cloud white 32 gig n6. The only issue is flipkart and motorola's ****ty quality control. Idk what to do at this point, I can wait till sept 29 and wait for the new Nexus 5 (or 5x), Or I can simply wait for CM on the S6 which may take 6 more months for a decent stable daily driver. 2015 is so messed up for phones..
[Nexus 6  General] NishantM:
Stay away from Nexus 6. Wait for a month an get the new Nexus if you're too tempted.
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
Hi, Siddesh. The problems u mentioned were all faced by me. Since 2/7/15 my device is at Service centreand am pressing the company for refund since then... Could you skate how you got the refund. A little help will be appreciated ad the Customer Care are dragging a lot
[Nexus 6  General] :
I got my first unit on 17th march, I used the phone, rooted it, installed cyanogenmod. on 20th I noticed that half of the display was darker and half of it was light. I observerd carefully and it had a defective panel. So I unrooted, locked the bootloader, and called flipkart, they told me to install an app, next day a technical expert (lol) from flopkart called me, I told him that the display was defective and I need a replacement. They issued one quickly without any questions, recieved it on 23rd. It had the same problem, So I made up my mind that I cannot gamble around with 44k like this, and I needed a phone asap. So I called them, they told me the tech guy will call, he called the next day, I told him the issue but he was very reluctant and rude to me, he said that there is no problem we cannot issue another replacement. I gave him a nice lecture on how they say their customer support is awesome and that they do things fast and here they were selling defective or refurbished units. He told me to go to the nearest service center and confirm that the device is defective out of the box. If it is then get a job sheet from them and mail it. I did so the very next day, only to my surprise that motorola service center in borivali (east) had 2 counter ladies and a so called techie guy who looked like he knew nothing. I showed the phone, the first thing they said is we wont accept any repair, talk to flipkart. I told them, you only have to confirm that it is faulty and give me a job sheet. They were adamant and did not give me any job sheet or any help. I called a flipkart executive from there and told her about the situation, she told me to give the phone to the service center authorities, The flipkart lady talked to them for a while and then she told me not to worry we will replace your device. I told them that I dont want any replacement, I want a refund. She said sure. For the next two days flipkart made no contact, I called their people a couple of times. I got a call from their tech department and it was the rude guy again, I told him I dont want this phone, it is defective, even the service center people talked to you guys. He put me on hold for a good 20 minutes and then asked me about my bank details. I recieved the money 2 days later. All along this horrible 10 -12 day process I kept calling them daily twice or thrice. It helped. The good part about flipkart is their 30 day replacement policy, they issued the first replacement without any questions. Motorola service centers are ****ed up, they dont repair high end phones like the nexus or moto x, they send it for replacements directly. So you should be expecting a replacement from them soon, usually takes a month.
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
I got my first unit on 26Dec 2014 and had the issues starting after 5 months. So Flipkart replacement policy got out of the window.I got my first replacement device on 20/8/15 . In 8 days o returned to Service centre for battery drain and reboot issues. Since then am talking to Moto ppl and no use of it. Calling every day to here a routine answer stating your issue has been escalated. I don't understand what is there to talk for months to give a refund

Thanks for sharing your experience
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Have any of you got the Marshmallow OTA? Thinking of downloading the ROM and flashing it
[Nexus 6  General] segag:
Im having the same issues with the phone. Random restarts post the battery life falling below 30-40%. Gave the phone to the service centre. It came back from there the same way it went in. I think they were just staring at the phone for 15 days. Have sent it again. The phone will complete a year next month. Im hoping the issue is resolved soon. I bought it second hand, so i was hoping it don't have to pony up and shell out some more money. Im glad i didn't pay full price for this phone. If they give me a new phone i'd be really happy.
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
Just flashed the factory image last night.

Download teh factory images, extract all zips, and run the below steps one by one

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio "radio-shamu-d4.01-9625-05.27+fsg-9625-02.104.img"
fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot

OPTIONAL

Additionally you can wipe dalvik cache by downloading latest TWRP recovery. There is no need to flash it, just do "fastboot boot twrp.img". Post that just hit continue and wipe->Advanced-> Wipe cache and Dalvik. Just reboot system after this. Remeber to skip installing SuperSU when TWRP prompts you.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Flashed Marshmallow shortly after posting my previous message. Restoring my data now. Thanks :)
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Marshmallow is slicker & smoother but I think it's at the cost of battery life. Not sure as it's too early to say. I am keeping a watch on the battery.
[Nexus 6  General] blueren:
Don't get too paranoid about the battery. Let it burn in for awhile

Damn. I'm already missing Chroma's neat features.
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
Dude am no longer a nexus 6 user .... I got full refund . its a pathetic device....i was fooling myself with it .... It does have awesome specs but no use with poor build quality that wont last 6months... So am out .
[Nexus 6  General] wazza1991:
I am having battery issues. The phone shuts down before reaching 0%. In the beginning it used to shut down at around 2% so I didn't care much. But not its getting worse. The phone shuts down at even 6% or 9%. I've had the phone since December 2014.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Do not let the battery drain to very low levels, recharge before battery goes below 25-30%. You are exponentially increasing battery wear by doing a deep discharge every time. This needs to be done once a quarter at max
[Nexus 6  General] ronakchavan:
Hey guys I have a Nexus 5 currently and I'm thinking of jumping on the Nexus 6 ship during flipkarts big billion sale. how is the Nexus 6 treating you all?
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Unless budget is a constraint, I'd suggest considering the new nexus phones due in a few days.
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
Dont take it wrong way.... Are you out of your mind???? Dont buy this ***k device... Just buy lg g4 or something else .... U will get a second or third hand refurbished device ....am sure...dont invite trouble to yourself
[Nexus 6  General] ronakchavan:
Not interested in G4 as i want stock android and i tinker alot with my devices
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
+1

While things are not so bad as some have reported (my phone is perfect and has been in use for over 7-8 months now) but I agree with your contention that there's a chance he may wind up with a faulty unit. It could even be a refurbished piece though that would be against the law and business ethics to sell it as new. Buying a N6 is a hit-and-miss kind of risk with patchy quality control by Motorola. That's why I suggested that he consider the new Nexus 5x or 6P that will be available from 14th Oct.

BTW resale value has dropped very sharply as is the case with most Nexus phones. I was offered just 17K by a dealer for my 64GB unit. Gosh! No way I'll sell it for this price. Rather keep it at least till the warranty expires and then decide.
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
how about this .... buy any samsung device root it and flash aosp roms
[Nexus 6  General] ronakchavan:
Finally took the plunge and bought the it today from flipkart. 25k for 34gb
[Nexus 6  General] zeon22:
Haha me too bought it today.

Ok so I know every phone has issues. I have owned HTC One X+(flipkart) then M7(ebay imported), now my third phone is this. Before buying these I was met with a similar situation where many people complained about the battery, camera and so many things. But having bought them later I didn't experience anything like that. It was like more of a hoax(or maybe I was lucky?). There were some issues(mostly software based) but come on we own an android phone and we have so many good devs, that shouldn't be a that big problem.
[Nexus 6  General] gkhanna5:
I have read Flipkart is sending used devices is it true as I am planning on buying a nexus 6, is the battery bulge problem solved, anyone that bought n6 from Flipkart what was the manufacturing date
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
This FUD about getting used handsets is pure conjecture and guesswork on someone's part. Yes, as with other products there's always a chance you'll get a defective piece. That's the nature of large scale manufacturing. Its happened to my Note 3. Buy the Nexus and you have a return policy in case you are not satisfied. My phone was imported in Jan 2015, purchased in March, and hasn't had a single problem so far. After using this 6" screen other phones are a pain to use. I am very pleased with it. If you're really paranoid go in for the Nexus 6p.
[Nexus 6  General] zeon22:
I have bought many phones for friends and relatives from flipkart and never had this used phone issue atleast.One of my friend had an issue with Redmi Note but he was later given a replacement.

On other note I cancelled my n6 order for 25k yesterday as today I bought it from 23.25k from flipkart with 10% sbi discount:D
[Nexus 6  General] ams1576:
What is the best tempered glass available for this phone, I have read many don't stick properly.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
I use Nilikin, there's a slight curve at the very edges where the protector is not perfectly flat. But it doesn't make much of a difference. I'd you're finicky about a perfect fit get a plastic film protector.
[Nexus 6  General] krazy_about_technology:
I also bought Nexus 6 White 64 GB yesterday from Flipkart for 25,299. Deal included Rs. 5000 off on list price of Rs. 34,999, 10% discount on SBI Card (Rs. 1750) and Rs. 3000 off on my wife's 2 years old Samsung Galaxy Grand. Can't wait to receive it at my doorsteps :D

[MENTION=5281306]zeon22[/MENTION]: Yes I also did the same, bought it on Thursday for 27049 but next day saw SBI discount so canceled the old order and bought new :) SBI gives very good credit limits on their cards which is helpful in scenarios like these :)
[Nexus 6  General] ronakchavan:
Does the Nexus 6 support 4g here?
[Nexus 6  General] bRuce_W@yn3:
nexus 6 still worth or not

Hello All,

As the flipkart sell is well known now, I have booked nexus 6 as I dont control the temptation of jumping from n5 to n6. The deal was also pulling me towards n6, as I got it at 13k :D (of course I have to give away my n5 to flipkart as part of the exchange offer )

My n5 is rooted running on stock android 6.0. Anybody who is using n6 (rooted), is it worth to exchange n5 for n6? Read all the reviews regarding battery issue, pink hue issue. Having said that shall I keep the n5 or should go for n6 as the deal is mind blowing.
[Nexus 6  General] Bhargava Aithal:
Anyone received the ota marshmallow update?
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
I downloaded and flashed the ROM from scratch. on the 6th.

OTA links are now available. See here for sideloading instructions, Make sure you check the version number you are on & download the correct OTA file.

http://news.yahoo.com/download-install-android-marshmallow-ota-183527973.html

Oh yeah, if you're not comfortable with this stuff, wait for the update to download to your phone.

---------- Post added at 22:56 ---------- Previous post was at 22:48 ----------

Things like "worth it" or not are very subjective and differ from person to person. YOU need to make up your mind if you want to upgrade to a phone with a larger screen. It's going for a very attractive price alright.

Read this thread for more feedback on the Nexus 6. Some people have had problems with their handsets while others including myself have not.
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
It does ...but depends on your city and network provider if they chose to provide the band that support n6... In my city it was 1800 band ,3band for airtel. Big cities have good 4g . where are u???
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
The Nexus 6 is a LTE phone but you need to know which LTE band your service provider operates on.

AFAIK, Airtel uses TDD-LTE on band 40 i.e. 2300 MHz in most cities. This LTE band is not available in the Nexus 6. See here for details

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Google-Nexus-6_id8626 and here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_6

Best to check with your service provider. If LTE is unavailable, it will operate in 3G mode.
[Nexus 6  General] nishant786:
Just a heads up, I got the OTA this evening.

Reviews on Flipkart, Ndtv gadgets, some other websites that N6 doesn't supports 4G in India (especially Airtel 4g).:confused:
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Depends on the network you're on & city. Airtel is mostly on TDD-LTE band 40 (2300 Mhz). The Nexus 6 does not support B40.

Best you check with the operator for exact information.

[Nexus 6  General] sidh10:
Hi everyone. I just bought the nexus 6 yesterday and I just had a doubt I hoped someone would be able to help me with. My phone is still running Android 5.0 and it is not showing any update on ota. I tried clearing the data of Google services framework etc but to no avail. I know I can sideload it but since my device is so new I don't wanna take any risks regarding warranty, so I would prefer using an OTA. Can anyone tell me why I am not seeing any update and is their any way to force one?
[Nexus 6  General] ronakchavan:
Don't worry about warranty as Nexus phones are easy to root and lock or unlock the bootloader. So just flash the factory images.
[Nexus 6  General] knightshooter:
You can flash a stock image and still get covered in warranty as its a nexus!!

So go ahead and update it to marshmallow. OTAs some time take over a month!!
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Would be a different frequency possibly FDD LTE 1800 Mhz in your city. Airtel has started offering LTE on FDD bands in some areas where services were recently launched.

This is the reason I suggest checking directly with the operator.

See here:

https://www.quora.com/Airtel/Which-...near-future-I-hope-Reliance-Jio-are-providing

Scroll down to the answer by 'Anshul Bhatt' from Airtel.

Most upcoming LTE services from Reliance Jio, Vodafone, Idea etc will be on FDD-LTE 1800 Mhz. FDD is more widespread/common than TDD worldwide.
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
Was replying to the one who was saying n6 dont support 4g ...sharprazor ur 100% correct
[Nexus 6  General] s_chugh:
I got my nexus 6, a few days back during flipkart big billion sale for 19.5 k(discount + exchange + credit card discount), However all looks ok at the moment but it still shows running on Android 5.0, no OTA updates... I believe many users have got OTA updates for 5.1.1 why am I not able to get it.

Also has anybody experienced low ear piece volume during calls.?
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Each device gets queued for updates. Don't worry you'll eventually get it. If you're in a hurry there are sites with instructions on how to side load OTA updates for Marshmallow. But you will need 5.1.1 to do this. If you are on 5.0, update to 5.1.1 and then to 6 (Marshmallow). You can also choose to flash the Marshmallow ROM after unlocking the bootloader, a process that will wipe your phone. Make sure you back up your data.

Volume depends on the network conditions too, not just the handset. Just increase the volume control to your preference during a call
[Nexus 6  General] harkirat01:
Hey guys. My Nexus 6 also got delivered two days back from Flipkart. They made me wait like crazy but it was definitely worth it. Like you both mentioned, the phone came installed with Android 5.0. And if you go and try to fetch for software updates, it says you are up to date. So that definitely feels frustrating and had it been 5.1, one could have still waited for the OTA update. Now I really can't comment on how long it will take to get the OTA and how google would actually send the OTA to update the software from 5.0 to 6.0 directly.

So I would say you guys should download the Android SDK and ADB/fastboot softwares and get started. The process seems complicated but it's not. You will have to go step by step and by that I mean move to 5.1 from 5.0, then 5.1.1 from 5.1 and finally to 6.0. The factory images uploaded by google give out the build number, from which installed build number you should move to which new build number. That way we need to start from the beginning and move up one by one matching the build number every time.

This surely is a time consuming process but once you get a hang of it, it's a breeze to update and fun as well!

If you guys do plan to go through this process, feel free to post here your queries and I'll be happy to help you out with the installation. There are a few roadblocks, especially adb drivers, then unlocked bootloader etc. But since I've invested my time last night, I can assist you and make the process slightly easier.

And yes, my phone is now running on 6.0 :laugh: and I would definitely recommend you guys to go ahead and start the manual update process. :good:
[Nexus 6  General] zeon22:
Yeah I too received my lovely n6 from flipkart today. Like others I am too stuck with 5.0. I don't want to the stock way but plan on installing custom roms.

So I think I should ask can I upgrade directly to a custom rom running 6.0 with twrp(with my system being on 5.0) ? This is my first nexus so idk if it matters or not.
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
Y u waiting bro....yes u can
[Nexus 6  General] fash_1:
I got the notification for the 6.0 OTA and even downloaded the 700MB file, but did not install it as I wanted to wait for a couple of days. During this time, I had disabled a couple of google apps, which are now enabled again. Now, I no longer get the prompt to install the OTA and 'Check for Updates' also says there is no update, even though I'm only on 5.1.1.

I tried clearing cache and data for Google framework services and play services, and also wiped the cache partition, but still no OTA prompt. Any chance I'll get the notification in future?
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
This is why u bought the nexus 6....just root and flash it. To wait buy an oem device.with nexus u play
[Nexus 6  General] deeplyyoung:
Got my new Nexus 6 around one week before with LP 5.0...no OTA or updates have got,already tried all possible tricks like without sim,formatted whatever but no OTA.... just now popups...5.1...means long way to go.... now 5.1 then 5.1.1 then 6.0(might be)...better gonna unlock & direct jump to MM....

I'm posting this for those guys who don't want to update manually.. just wait for few days if you newly purchased your Nexus 6...you will get an update for sure....

Anybody facing any issue with "Data Service is Blocked"?
[Nexus 6  General] NishantM:
It's your service provider to blame. I've seen this happen on my Vodafone connection while on the Nexus 4 as well as my current Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] ananjay:
Should I port out and move to some other provider? Which provider you recommend?
[Nexus 6  General] NishantM:
I'm not sure this doesn't happen with other providers. I use Vodafone as it has better network coverage in Mumbai and Maharashtra.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Before porting out, talk to your service provider on why this could be happening.

I have used Idea & Vodafone, and find Vodafone's network to be faster for 3G data. Currently on Idea as their billing plans are competitively priced. May port back to Vodafone if they're 1st off the block with 4G in my city

Nexus 6 - A good buy now?

My current combination is a Galaxy S4 and a nexus 7 (2012). Both were good for their time but now it is time to upgrade them both. My budget is max 30k. Tab usage will be mostly for browsing webpages, and social media stuff, I barely do any mobile gaming anymore.

My options are below:

1. OnePlus X with Mi Pad combo

2. Nexus 6

What would be a better buy? The Nexus 6 is in there as it is currently discounted at 25k, and I think a 6 inch screen should satiate my need for a tablet, but.... Is it still worth buying? Nexus 6 looks good on paper, specs wise it is a big upgrade over the S4, whereas the Oneplus X will be almost identical to the S4.

So my main question is,

Is the nexus 6 still worth it and a good buy now, or is it better I settle for 2 devices for my needs?
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
Listen i dont wanna look n6 hater but its not worth it.no point i spending a single rupee over a device that has manufacturing and quality issues. I got full refund after 6 months of usage with one replacement in between.so not worth it.... Try g4 or note 4 or s6 edge
