Which site to buy this
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
GOSF

Hi all,

Just heard about the GOSF by this december, and will there be any discounts for Nexus 6 there. And if so what about the ppl who pre-ordered the same from FK. Will we be getting the benefits from Motorola, or is it only for ppl who order from GOSF.

And how much discount will be there, so that we can think about cancelling FK orders and wait till Dec 10-12 for GOSF. Let me know if any other members have info on these.
[Nexus 6  General] knightshooter:
Dude you should consider the fact that we here are talking about the flagship from google and their best ever. So i dont see anything change wrt to nexus 6.

And discouts? Have you ever heard of sale on google store devices? I never did
[Nexus 6  General] Sultan of Speed:
Times of ghatiya was saying that there probably could be discounts on N6 at thr upcoming online sale.
[Nexus 6  General] Aniket:
I don't think that Google would offer a discount of 10k on their flagship product like flipkart. Most probably 10% off. And ordering on 10th December means they'll deliver it around 25-28 Dec. I can't wait that long. Its killing me already [emoji13]
[Nexus 6  General] knightshooter:
Guys any update of release date? The wait is killing me :(
[Nexus 6  General] vickysud:
Guess Flipkart will start shipping from December 1st week.
[Nexus 6  General] Sultan of Speed:
2nd week of Dec shipping will begin...
[Nexus 6  General] vickysud:
Source ?
[Nexus 6  General] Sultan of Speed:
Yes. I wouldn't want to lie and make a fool of myself.

Jokes apart, that's what flipkart said - second week of Dec is when they'll start shipping...
[Nexus 6  General] infohitesh:
Since flipkart was cross selling their Flipkart First offer ... I guess N6 will be delivered with sameday or next day delivery options...

I hope flipkart has given pessimistic timeline and N6 will be available with them in 1st week...

Any other country has release date of 2nd week ???
[Nexus 6  General] nickfury:
The canadian deliveries are slated for 16th dec delivery as far as i know
[Nexus 6  General] dhruvmalik:
We should all settle in and know that it would be a Christmas present and perhaps not an early one. If its sooner, then Santa has come early.

:)
[Nexus 6  General] Xtremepace:
Hey people, I too have pre-ordered the N6 through Flipkart. I have a question regarding it's default encryption as I read on some websites that it slows down the performance and #AnandTech said that the sequential read performance is affected the most so will decrpyting the device boost its performance or will an update by Google will fix it later on?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] nickfury:
Google put in device encryption by default to cater to the enterprise market. I do not think that there will be an update from Google anytime soon turning it off.

Having said that, once you root your nexus, there is alread a way to turn the encryption off
[Nexus 6  General] Sultan of Speed:
Please know that with encryption on the performance is not bad. It's probably good enough for an average user. The difference is, when encryption is off, the performance boosts up like anything.

I don't think Google would ever provide "bad" performing flagship phones ever!

Hmm.. so that means 10-12th dec. I really hope Google launches it before that. I have exams starting from 17th so I will have to leave my home city on 10th may be . If they release on 7-8th , that would be great! I remember Google release n5 on 20th nov last year and my shipment was with me on 22nd.

How about a case after applying the skin. Is it still intact with a case? if you are using any
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
Even I had a look into it (Gadgetshield), but couldn't find color options there and it doesn't cover the sides (not needed however) but colors would be nice. So confused between them. Having a 20% percent discount coupon, but not sure of ordering as it would take more than 10 days. Does Gadgetshield having color options? any idea?

Thanks for the response too..
[Nexus 6  General] vasishta.sushant:
Tried my best to like the device but even after the freedom about rooting and all, I felt the device to be lacking a lot. Also the screen quality/calibration was getting on my nerves.

Finally gave up on the nexus and made the move to the note 4.
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
Well note 4 hardware is better but the biggest problem is its touchwiz bloated and laggy software ... I came from note 4 to this
[Nexus 6  General] vasishta.sushant:
I agree. The note 4 does't feel as snappy as the nexus was but on the nexus I wasn't using the google now launcher and on the note 4 as well I won't be using the touchwiz. Nova is my preferred launcher and its plenty fast. Also the expandable memory is an added benefit.
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
Well if u get nexus 64gb then it's no need for expandable memory

I have used note 4 since launch day and I changed all its possible stock outdated laggy apps like launcher, phone dialer, messaging app, but still we can't get rid of basic sift are experience which stock lollipop gives on nexus

But yeah note 4 has advantage on camera and slightly better screen quality

But in 2015 we cannot have an outdated laggy bloated softwares which is not better than xiaomi phones which is like 1/4th the price

We need googls lollipop experience as it us meant to be ... HTC softest is the only one which gives justice to Google's star of the art OS...Samsung is the worst among all ...why they keep paying bunch of old developers and keep spending bloating the great stock android

They should just make apps like camera and leave everything stock then with its great hardware nothing can beat...but for now it's no good than cheaper xiaomi experience
[Nexus 6  General] vasishta.sushant:
I might sound like virtuoso but honestly I do like some of the small additions samsung does. Phone dialer being the most missed thing when I moved to the nexus. Feels so much like home, on the note 4. Also I pamper my devices quite a lot and for the nexus I couldn't even get a decent cover. For the note 4 I have ordered the otterbox commuter, which has been my primary cover for all the devices that I owned in the last 6-7 years.

I do miss the freedom of the nexus device and that larger screen but overall for the money I paid, I am somewhat feeling better with the note 4. I know I am gonna feel bad when the updates would stop coming to it, after 6 months or so. But for me the usability is taking the driver's seat so...
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
Well if u like or like to live with Samsung own software then good for you ...

But fact is even google is not happy with Samsung or other OEMS making a lot of changes to their os design

For me I miss the camera and somewhat screen quality and yeah the most imp s pen

But in return I am getting a lot of software experience which will be key with future updates as well and nexus is also cheaper than still overpriced note 4
[Nexus 6  General] NOX_N1:

[Nexus 6  General] blueren:
I just noticed this in my phone as well. Applying pressure makes the back cover stuck back in (0.5mm movement). Really hope it's just the glue and not the battery expanding.

On the same subject, do phones bought via the play store US have any replacement warranty in India?

I have already got this as a replacement for the screen and restart issues I had in the past, and now there is this hardware issue.

Not really sure of what to do. Fingers crossed. Thinking of replacement, but I don't want to lose out my first neXus, rooting, flashing ROM and all these experiences.

Requested for refund of my neXus 6, and I have one used (blue color) and two unused (red, black) cruzerlite cases with me also three screen protectors. Anybody from chennai looking for one PM me.
[Nexus 6  General] rootofthelotus:
What do you plan to buy next?
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
Gonna stay with my Moto G (crDroid) and Lumia 635 for sometime now.

Have to think about what next, do not want to lose the neXus but the issues pushing me to, as I've already got this as a replacement unit, cant play this request-replace-setup game again and again.

Let these issues settle down a bit...

But sure ll be coming back to neXus, Meanwhile having an eye on

S6 edge

too.

Will wait till MWC, and if S6 fails to impress me, and also if neXus issues sorted out by that time will be buying it back (hoping that price would drop a lil bit by that time too :P)
[Nexus 6  General] knightshooter:
Expect a drop of 2-3k by the time the next nexus releases which is 10 months away. Don't think of anything higher considering the price drop trends of earlier nexus

[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
It's really not about money (that's why there was an emoji) but the usability, I am still experiencing the restart issues at times, and the back cover issues too which makes it tough for me to use it, especially when I was really in a hurry to make a call, it frustrated me with the restart issue for about an hour.

Even I am an avid fan of neXus as you guys and really hate to be looking for a samsung mobile, but as much as neXus impressed me with lollipop, it failed me in terms of usability. I am still hoping that it will sorted out soon so that I can simply buy it back as I'll simply have that money in my wallet to buy.

Might not be a good enough reason to you guys anyway I guess.

Screen protector

So i'll be recieving my nexus 6 tomorrow.

Can you suggest some good clear type screen protrctors or a tempered glass.
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
I have simply changed my mind and I am going to stay with the neXus, just requested for a replacement and got it approved. So hoping that the new one will be defect free. I was looking for a reason to stick to my neXus and I got one. Happy to be back in neXus family again.
[Nexus 6  General] knightshooter:
:) so what's the reason ?

Sent from a whale named SHAMU
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
I looked elsewhere, hima, project zero (Edge and normal), G Flex 2, G4 , Z4 whatever. Nothing looks like providing the experience neXus could and nothing has lollipop or the screen bigger as neXus (which is one of important needs of mine - to play and to watch). I found this reason as enough to stick with it and requested for a replacement and got it approved.
[Nexus 6  General] knightshooter:
OK. Now you may end up getting a refurb piece which Motorola offers I guess

Sent from a whale named SHAMU
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
even through others will have lollipop update that will not at all look like pure android as in nexus 6

thats the biggest problem with OEMs they just changing everything what google creates, why cant they just leave it stock and just build their custom apps and side load

this was the main reason I changed note 4, else I miss its s pen and camera
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
I guessed too.. But I checked with FK but that guy told me that I will be getting a brand new phone. Will see...
[Nexus 6  General] rootofthelotus:
Refurbished pieces are better because they go thru QA twice. Less probability of finding a defect or flaw in refurbished piece right?

I personally am not ready to accept a refurbished piece after spending 44k.

Is random reboot really common?

Should I go for replacement?
[Nexus 6  General] Aniket:
Never happened with me. Have the device for over a month now.
[Nexus 6  General] SAW_JOK3R:
Yeah. It's quiet common. It happens due to RAM leak. If you clear the RAM before doing any heavy tasks there will be some recent tasks which you've not even used after the last boot or have already cleared them from recent tasks. There will be "System" as recent tasks sometimes. Do clear that. Even when you launch some heavy games like NOVA 3, you can notice that you're not able to pass the cut scene cause of the force shut down issue. I'm not facing this for 2 weeks because I've uninstalled all those apps which used to cause heavy RAM leak like NOVA 3. And before doing heavy tasks like playing heavy games I clear all the recent tasks. After clearing all tasks again press the recent apps button. There might be apps like "System" ruining background. Clear it. And also do remember to reboot your device once in an interval of 3-4 days cause you can notice the RAM usage by system can increase a lot if you don't reboot the system ;)
[Nexus 6  General] jishnu7:
Happened several times in this way - turning on the screen when I'm on a call,
[Nexus 6  General] SAW_JOK3R:
Don't worry. THis issue will be solved on 5.0.2 :) As it has already been marked as Complete by a Google employee on Google Forum .Jump to the first page and you'll be able to see that :) And read all the comments of the the people having same issue :)

U can see the sample of the tempered glass. Neat cutouts for camera and proximity sensor works like a charm.

Halo is very common among tempered glass for nexus 6. But only this has least of it and does not come between viewing your phone. U won't notice it is there. But nillikin covers the camera and has halo effect on the camera lens

For a tempered glass protector go for the Spartanshieldz. Halo is not present in here. And as of a transparent case go for Ringke Fusion. Go for the Smoke Black which has side tpu in smoke black color. If u go for crystal one the side of the case turns green in a fortnight.

I got my device replaced after flipkart approving the request of the manufacturing defect as my back to panel was coming off. Today I picked up my replacement and guess what I got for Rs44000. a dirty box with pen mark on the side and stripped label on the back and side. I'm 100% sure it's refurbished product. The device right out of the box had a popped back panel.

I'm getting a refund tomorrow itself.

If anyone comes across this issue I strongly recommend you get a refund and place a fresh order (if you still want a Nexus 6) than a replacement.
[Nexus 6  General] vasishta.sushant:
Same story. I got refurbished device, two times. Finally had to get the refund and made a move to get the note 4. Still have the nilkin tempered glass and the diztronic case for the Nexus 6 that I wanted to own. Those two are now wasted since I can't return them and can't make use of them.

Cheap bastids! Flipkart is playing cheap tactics. They are selling refurbished stuff in the name of new. Stay away I'd say.
