Well at least you got a new phone out of it.

The USB port failed on my N6, I had no choice but to send it in to SBE - it's probably a simple enough USB re-solder job. I'll make sure to annoy motorola as it's already been a week.

I am just getting used to my Nexus 4 again :-/ .

I will definitely be using google play store going forward, but damn it was just such a good contract deal. 600 for the phone and 2 years of 4G service.
[Nexus 6  General] MalekoUK:
Has anyone had the N6 via O2?

Do they come totally stock still without any O2 branding etc???
[Nexus 6  General] AgentVanThomas:
Yep mine was completely stock.
[Nexus 6  General] ianovic:
Trigger pulled!

Ordered a blue 32Gig from Vodafone today on contract. They said next day delivery so I'll update here on the progress.

Wish me luck!
[Nexus 6  General] ianovic:
Well that was quick :)
[Nexus 6  General] 1iam5mith:
I'm stuck between this, Lg G4, Samsung Galaxy S6 and Huawei Mate 7.

Is the camera on this as bad as everyone makes out? And this doesn't have wireless charging does it?
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
S6 camera blows the N6 camera out the water. I'm an ex N6 owner. It's your choice Note 4 is another one to consider. N6 has timely updates & all the bugs first.
[Nexus 6  General] 1iam5mith:
I had the note 4 previously, I liked it but cannot stand that fingerprint scanner, TouchID blows that out of the water.

The camera was awful on my Nexus 4, but I was really hoping they had improved, but guess not :(

It's a shame because I love the size of the dev support for nexus phones.
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
I don't use the Fingerprint scanner on my N4.

I liked my N6 but I don't know what it was I just couldn't get on with it. Nothing about it wowed me. I know TW is pants but Nova solves that & I now have the Note 4 & the S6 & so far happy
[Nexus 6  General] kornell0:
Just got 5.1.1 OTA on my Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] mijkz:
Got mine yesterday afternoon (LMY47I on 3 network). Now LMY47Z.
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
I've got the notification...but I'm guessing I can't install as I'm rooted. Just waiting for the factory image now. You guys seeing any major changes?
[Nexus 6  General] kornell0:
Not really.
[Nexus 6  General] mijkz:
I was also rooted and TWRPed with Franco kernel. I just flashed stock boot, system and recovery, let the OTA install, then re-flashed TWRP, SuperSU and Franco.

No major changes.
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
Cheers guys. If there's nothing noteworthy I'll just wait for the system image instead.

Does Franco Kernel work with 5.1.1?
[Nexus 6  General] barry_:
and yet, here you are, on a N6 forum. Telling us how great Samsung phones are :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
Not anymore.
[Nexus 6  General] iamjerico:
Good idea, mijkz - just did the same. The OTA notification was bugging me!
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
Same as me. Got sick of it so just manually updated. I cried a bit when I messed it up...but then realised I was trying to flash the N5 images files. :silly:
[Nexus 6  General] EddyOS:
I take it the LMY47Z Factory Image from Google is the right one for the UK N6 as well? Thinking of getting one and like to have the images to hand :)
[Nexus 6  General] mijkz:
Yep, works fine.
[Nexus 6  General] _Sparks:
I'm not sure if anyone still lurks here, but have a question.

I'm based in the UK and sent my N6 for repair after it was switching off randomly at 15% and then higher. I suspected it was a faulty battery. SBE said the problem was: "battery - battery life short". The website now says it is repaired and is dispatched.

By repaired do they mean they replaced the battery?

Hope to get some insight from people who had similar problems. Thank you!
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
Most likely yes.
[Nexus 6  General] MalekoUK:
Yep, I would say so
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Yea nothing at all happening anywhere else bar the US ... the pre orders opened at 5-24pm ish, and the phones sold out in 30 seconds...
[Nexus 6  General] DarknessWarrior:
I'm not even saying for Google to have a world wide release, but some info wouldn't hurt.... ffs
[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
I'd point my finger more at Motorola than Google over this. As soon as I saw they were going to be the manufacturer my heart dropped.

I wonder how many sales outside the U.S. they'll lose to the Note 4 over this.
[Nexus 6  General] DarknessWarrior:
I'm seriously pondering the Note 4 after this shenanigans. And I'm a nexus fan, but I'm really disappointed with this PR (or lack thereof)...keeping us completely in the dark with no confirmations about anything. We don't know the price, we don't know the date... heck we don't even know if we're getting the device at all!
[Nexus 6  General] oneplus:
Sounds like the lg g3 release. Press news 1 month ago, pre-order next month, device in hand after 2 months. By that time note 4 and iphone 6 were out...

Sent from my One A0001
[Nexus 6  General] radicalisto:
Eh? I got rid of my G3 nearly two months ago.. It was out before the Note and the iPhone lol.. Unless you're living in the back end of nowhere and by that I mean a desert.

Oh for the record I got my G3 in July. The N4 and i6 only came out recently...

Sent from my Spectrum ZX +2
[Nexus 6  General] Bilhouse:
He is both right and wrong. The Note 4 and iPhone 6 only came out recently whilst the G3 was out in the summer. But there was around a 6 week gap between its announcement and the actual release.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
I aint gonna fuss about ordering this year, if I order from Google in time, fine.. If not, I'll just get it from Amazon.

No website issues & free next day delivery on Prime whilst Google will charge £9.99 for 2 day shipping.

There is also the option of just going in carphone warehouse & just picking it up on the day.

So, not gonna panic to get my order in this year. :)

There are other options to the play store (if all prices are the same)
[Nexus 6  General] DarknessWarrior:
Agreed, but here on Portugal the options are a bit more limited, but we can still get it from Amazon.es with free delivery.
[Nexus 6  General] JamesRC:
I just wish a price was announced! If they at least confirm a price people can decide to wait or move on.

Usual nexus order pain.
[Nexus 6  General] ixon2001:
If going of the American Pre Order, I have a feeling most of those who want one of these will probably have to wait until sometime in January or even February before they can get their hands on one, and by that time the next wave of Android smartphone with either the 808 or 810 chipset will be not far off announcement.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
So you don't want to wait because by the time the wait is over there will be a newer phone to wait for? This is life in general not just Nexus launches lol
[Nexus 6  General] NexusHexus:
I agree with ixon2001 in a way, at this rate when they release it here. It will just feel.... old. I want that feeling of having something new. If it stretches into Dec, as much as I would hate this, I would probably start waiting for something else that is "new"
[Nexus 6  General] letom:
US company prioritises it's own market, which also happens to be its biggest market.. Shock... Horror... How unreasonable of them
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
The phone isn't even released yet and you're already thinking about buying a different phone that hasn't been announced yet? I'm going to buy a phone in the year 2021 because i can't be bothered to wait for the phone i want in 2016 to come out.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Regardless of when I get it, that Midnight Blue Nexus 6 is mine! :)

It's not really a good time for new products in the UK, Amazon today told me my Kindle Voyage which was due next week on the 4th of November has been delayed till 10th of December.

#SadTrombone

Cash to spend & nobody wants it!
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Plus when Android 5.1 comes out on their new phone 5 months after its released, they won't want it its not new.
[Nexus 6  General] radicalisto:
It's like buying stuff with cash.. No one wants the money!! Everything is all card now.

Re: N6, I'm gonna wait til Jan and grab it unless CPW have it in stock before then.

[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
Apple is an American company yet weirdly is capable of dealing with multiple markets at the same time, so I am afraid that argument doesn't hold any weight.
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
Apple is a company producing its own phones. Google has to rely on Motorola.. a company that has been sold and bought multiply times (if that changes anything i dont know)

also The products Apple sell have a massive fan base and they know they will sell millions of devices.. Google isnt sure this time round most likely because of the size.. It's bigger then the Note which has many more features.
[Nexus 6  General] Hereisphilly:
I'm definitely getting this and the N9 too. My aged N10 can finally be replaced and the massive battery of the N6 is the factor that has swung it for me to ditch my N5
[Nexus 6  General] steviemch:
I honestly don't know. The size just doesn't seem right....... but it's a nexus, I always go nexus. Affordability is another thing. I might pay off my current contract early and just get it through Three. Or, considering I've still got the nexus 4, I might just buy the N5. ****ing decisions!!

[Nexus 6  General] dgattenb:
mmm

Id get it , however the cost is a big block for me ...

I have my moto G for now thats fine and will get Lollipop.. however do want a flagship phone again , last one was a sony xpeira s... the proximity sensors went ... its a good mp3 player :(
[Nexus 6  General] :
If £400 for the 32gb i'm in but it more likely going to be alot higher then that, i'm guessing at least £460+ :(
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
I think its be around that yea .. maybe £450? Note 4 is £629 in the UK though, thats crazy
[Nexus 6  General] Dukemineralz:
£400 sounds about right to me for the 32gb. Well be getting regardless.

[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
Seems good value to me as it's cheaper than the Note 4 but with twice the memory.
[Nexus 6  General] Batfink33:
The Note 4 is now £649 in the Uk!!

[Nexus 6  General] theoneofgod:
Samsung devices always start high in price but drop quickly. £500 for a Nexus device is ridiculous.
[Nexus 6  General] MattBooth:
Yeah but $ to € is always 1:!, it's never the same for $ to £. We get better rates in the UK than the EU does.

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

The price is a HUGE factor for me. I want this but I don't want to pay £500 for a Nexus phone, and I won't be getting a Nexus phone that's not the top capacity in storage.

I had my plans all laid out this year. Get a new NExus when it's released. Maybe spend about £350-£389 on it. I expected a slight increase. Not this huge jump.
[Nexus 6  General] KidCarter93:
The thing to remember about the pricing though is that Nexus' are normally cheap but are somewhat lacking one way or another (generally in battery life). Hopefully, the higher price will mean that it's closer to being a well rounded phone
[Nexus 6  General] MattBooth:
The N5 had a comparable battery to other devices too :/
[Nexus 6  General] mark2410:
im feeling very meh about the 6. sure i want nexus quick updates but its too big, no removable battery and no F ing sd card slot. im willing to over loot a lot more when it was priced much lower that devices that offord those other things i want but now?????? i really dont know if i will bother getting one or maybe try a nonnexus for a bit.
[Nexus 6  General] djbenny1:
Disappointed they haven't revised the N5. In a perfect world they would produce a phone, phablet and a small and large tablet each year. Looks like we're only getting jumbo in 2014.

Don't know what to do now. Nexus 5 is a year old, One M8 is 6months old
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
well i currently have a nexus 4 and nexus 10 but i want something in between, i was gonna get a note 4 but it meant getting a contract and currently i pay £13 on a rolling contract with 3 and i got the nexus 4 handset only, i was on a 2 year contract with my iphone 4 and i hated the feeling of being "stuck", prefer the no strings relationship of a rolling contract and a good value for money phone, not to say that the nexus 6 is overly expensive, but its not cheap enough

nexus devices have a price drop after 4-6 months right?
[Nexus 6  General] dannysmith43:
I quite fancy the Nexus 6 myself, if I can get it on a £26\28pm contract....

All depends on that camera and battery life, hopefully project volta has sorted that out.
[Nexus 6  General] Batfink33:
I think the N5 has kept its price since release has it not?
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
in the play store its kept its price but at carphone warehouse it dropped by about £50 i think, i saw it on hot uk deals

[Nexus 6  General] oddbin:
I know that it will be more expensive than my N5 was and I have made peace with that, likewise the N9. I love my gadgets and Nexus devices are always nice and speedy on updates without having to root or ROM.

The big question now, for me, is where and when I can get both. The N9 is the 17th (not found a time or even UK availability) but as yet nothing for the n6.
[Nexus 6  General] Goku80:
for me Xmas time will be the N9...to be frank the n6 is way to big for me even though my girl has the 6plus for me 5s will do for now...and s805 will not have the 64bit chip in it that is another kinda let down to be honest....waiting for the m9 next year with the 810 chip in it and 430 adreno gpu;):D

for now nexus 9 is were the money is at and i got the best girl in the world that is gonna get me that for xmas...think she already knows the hints i have thrown to her about it:victory:
[Nexus 6  General] bigf00t:
There's no need to make excuses for them. A company as big as Google should be able to handle a worldwide launch. At the very least they should be able to write a 100 word article telling people when they can get the phone and for how much.

There are no excuses.
[Nexus 6  General] Keydogg1:
Totally agree. Whilst I admit there are differences between apple and Google this whole launch has been a complete joke.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
I don't think they even know when, or they would just launch and sell it then. I don't think they know how much either, the pound will be worth something else in a couple months.

I mean they could say a date and price by all means...
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
Google has always been like this. No exact time of release. They probably do it to build up hype.. good hype or bad hype.. hype is still hype.
[Nexus 6  General] Skinpipe:
im really hoping that CPW will sell the n6 like the 5 last year, I took a lot of pleasure just walking into the store and buying one without the drama that came with getting my N4.
[Nexus 6  General] radicalisto:
Gotten both of my N5's from CPW, when I buy things I like to have them straight away lol, I'm like a child in that way (not a 32 yr old man haha) but yeah, not having to wait for deliveries or drama of online ordering, old fashioned into a shop, ask for what you want and pay and leave with the product. Can't beat it.
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
I got the Nexus 4 from carphonewarehouse first and i had about 4 replacements.. not their fault but they always seem to have the ****ty batch of phones.

Still going to go there if i can't preorder though :D
[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
You have to wonder why now that they don't even own them they choose Motorola for the Nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
I'm hoping to go the CPW route too, sometimes they can be a little fineky about selling sim free in my local, but hopefully it's not an issue
[Nexus 6  General] letom:
I guess you're right, it is totally unreasonable for am American company to prioritise their own market. I suppose if apple didn't have enough iPhones to ship to every major territory they would still spread it out thinly even if it meant Estonia got 3 devices, because that would make more business sense.

I'm as disappointed as the next UK customer but let's not be irrational, Apple can plan to make 10mil iPhones because past experience shows it will sell regardless, that's not the case for the nexus phones. They obviously didn't want to make so many most likely because they anticipated less demand, underproduction is always better than overproduction.
[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
How can you say they anticipated less demand when they now have several years of past sales experience to go on, it's not like they are new to this game anymore. This all becomes a self fulfilling prophecy though longer term, if people are continually disappointed in trying to get a phone they just aren't going to bother and in future they will just look elsewhere.

Also I don't remember this being such an issue last year which makes you wonder if the choice of manufacturer played a part and if it did you have to wonder why they were chosen in that case.
[Nexus 6  General] ixon2001:
Next year starting in Feb the HTC M9 will be announced followed by either Sony Z4 and Samsung Galaxy S6 plus LG G4 ect, all of them will either come with at least the 808 64bit Snapdragon.

Let put it this way with it being so late in the year by the time we in the UK & probably most of Europe finally get the Nexus 6 & then the wait that most people will have have to deal with because of stock shortages, tbh i rather just hang on a couple of more months and get whatever Samsung, HTC, LG ect bring out because we are now at that transition from 32bit to 64bit so the likes of the Nexus 6 and the Note 4 will seem kinda dated come next spring.

Also i wouldn't be surprised if Google bring out an updated Nexus 5 early next year with either 808 or 810 & Android 5.1
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Carphone Warehouse has a page to register to be contacted when they start selling the N6. Unfortunately I can't paste the link in here with being a new member but a simple search online will find it.

Has anyone noticed that the N6 had vanished from the UK google play store entirely? I searched for it on the 29th and could see both colors in the 32GB version but now nothing.
[Nexus 6  General] pemz82:
They still return in search for me - https://play.google.com/store/search?q=nexus 6&c=devices&hl=en_GB (still only 32GB ones though) Can access the 64GB versions just by changing the URL
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I dunno if it's a cached version of the sure? I searched directly in google play store. It might just be me :p
[Nexus 6  General] radicalisto:
You are spot on with this IMO. Look at Amazon, they jumped into the fire (pun intended) with a mobile device and it bit them on the arse... Google + Moto are probably taking things a bit slower with the N6 due to (mainly + probably) the massive price increase, they know they'll alienate some customers with the price hike, but that's business.

Phablet market is still relatively untested (yes even though the Note series does well and the G3 etc) so Google are betting a lot on the N6 still regardless of how people look at it.
[Nexus 6  General] olipheus:
I second that!

And to be perfectly honest no earlier nexus device has been any huge success, and niether will the Nexus 6. What we're experiencing here is a small but focused group of early adopters that are very excited over a phone that won't reach a very big crowd.

None the less, Google missed the target quite a bit, and thats a shame of course, but it's not that big of a deal outside our play pen.

(Sorry for any spelling errors, English isn't my native language.)
[Nexus 6  General] FazCapone:
The Fire was Amazon's first phone, Google are no strangers to phone launches. The Nexus isn't new, they know it has a niche market, they know they sell out almost instantly ALL the time so I just can't for the life of me figure out why they don't anticipate this?
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Its a different product to the last two Nexus phones. Google knew how much phones they were willing to subsidise, and knew that they would sell on price alone, so they could have a set order price date everything ready to go. This phone isn't like that so expect it to be like any other Android phone that never comes out on time or has enough stock, too many variables. At least with the demand for pre order now known Motorola can ramp up production, its not like the phones physically sold out, none exist.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Just had a quick online chat with CPW trying to get some more info out of them .... heres what happened : ( edited out my responses so its quicker to read )

Welcome to Carphone Warehouse Live Chat Service. A representative will be with you shortly.

Hi, I’m Jamie. How can I help you?

Jamie: Hi, I see that you have come through on the Nexus 6 page, I would be happy to help you with finding the deal that best suits you.

Jamie: We only know that the handset Expected November 2014, there is no actual date for the release.

Jamie: Yes, we have the handset sim free when the handset is released.

Jamie: I really do apologize for that but you can register your interest for the handset.

So that's not too bad if its true.
[Nexus 6  General] fleonard:
I'm registered for both carphone and amazon update for the N6.

I'm pretty sure the preorder will be the 18th, according to latest rumors

[Nexus 6  General] 9e705ebbf0:
What are you on about. This is a pre-order. They haven't overproduced. They haven't underproduced. They haven't produced. This pre-order is giving them the demand level.

I don't understand why you'd have a restricted launch for a pre-order. Let me just oder it and if it says "6 week wait" it'll be a six week wait.
[Nexus 6  General] __NBH__:
I read an interview online which said Google have gone for a premium design with the Nexus 6 so their selling strategy of making a decent phone albeit not top of the range and selling it for a relatively low price doesn't apply this time. They are now in direct competition with other manufacturers and their flagship phones so I don't blame them if they are being a bit more conservative with the Nexus 6. Add to that the fact that it is a risk selling a phone with a 6 inch screen as it hasn't really been done before and people may just decide it's too big for them. Apple have their followers with the 6+, the Note 4 has the SPen functionality but the Nexus 6 doesn't have much on its side to make the big screen a selling point apart from its sheer size.

For me, releasing the Nexus 9 with a 64 bit processor but omitting it from the Nexus 6 is a big mistake. It may not be crucial right now but it means we will never get 64 bit Android on Google's own phone until next years device.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
That SoC isn't for phones.
[Nexus 6  General] letom:
You have a limit to how many you can produce in a certain amount of time. By under production they estimated say 10,000 that they could produce by the end of November so they set the supply chain to produce that much, yes they haven't actually produced anything but 10k is still their limit. So regardless of if they've made 10k or have capacity to make 10k it's exactly the same.

Whilst it sounds reasonable to make pre orders infinite the problem is what happens if you can't meet that demand till February or March ? As someone who work in finance with FTSE 100 companies trust me it's a mess on a whole number of fronts, it's not worth the hassle. It's like I said it's better to underestimate demand than overestimate it.
[Nexus 6  General] luker907:
Did you by any chance ask about the price?
