Went by my local AT&T store, but they only had a display model. No mention about if they had stock and had to return it due to this s/w problem or not.

My real problem is that my AT&T service is through my work and I currently have a microSIM in my TMo GN2. I asked the dude about migrating to a nanoSIM, but he said that I'd have to go through my company's internal rep. Bogus. I'd rather not have to cut my SIM down if I'm able to pick up an N6...

Also stopped by the local TMo store. They didn't have any in stock either. Wanted to buy one outright but they didn't seem to have a prepaid deal like they did when I got the GN2 back in the day. Didn't really want to sign up for a $50/mo plan.
[Nexus 6  General] bodosom:
Mine came that way (with LRX21O).
[Nexus 6  General] Claussm:
Mine was ordered directly from AT&T and I had the latest version without an OTA.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
Same here
[Nexus 6  General] bodosom:
The phone comes with a SIM. Activation will bind the new IMEI/ICCID to your account and "disable" your old device/SIM. I suppose corporate responsiblity phones could be different but that seems silly.
[Nexus 6  General] jj14:
Guess the newer versions have the latest update installed.
[Nexus 6  General] jtwlbz:
I prolly wait for GPS to get more stock. I hate the fact that att locks the Sim. Its not nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] MWilkenson:
Pensacola ATT corporate store also confirmed a delay...I didn't mention anything about she told me about it.
[Nexus 6  General] ppauer:
USPS tracking said that the expected delivery date was today (Nov 21) but no luck. Hopefully tomorrow. Of course the USPS tracking info hasn't been updated since it left Fort Worth.
[Nexus 6  General] kkl0wn:
Mine just got delivered. However I'm at work and won't be home for at least 6 more hours.....like a form of mild torture.

Wife received the package at least it's not sitting on the porch!
[Nexus 6  General] David_in_Florida:
I received mine this morning and my situation is the same.
[Nexus 6  General] caspersfi:
Mines been on the truck out for delivery with a delivered time of by 8pm. It's now 7:20.

I'm getting aggravated!
[Nexus 6  General] SilkyJohnson:
Just got mine and I love it!

Unlocked the boot loader right away. Didn't even power into OS, just straight into BL. No root or recovery for me yet, I like to run stock for a week or two.

Bumped it into my Nexus 5 and everything transferred over, including all wifi passwords.

I know some think this phone is sluggish compared to an N5, but I disagree. N5 has been my daily driver since June and I feel like this is far smoother. Audio is great and the verdict is still out on the camera. Only tried it once.

Excited for you guys to get your devices. I'm a happy man ?
[Nexus 6  General] FredSanbo:
Exactly the same situation for me. Man I really hope it comes tomorrow I don't think I could wait all the way until Monday lol
[Nexus 6  General] oak:
Nice phone

Ordered mine on 11/19 and received it today. Rooted and installed TWRP prior to any setup (without SIM). Process took about 10 minutes. All is well though I am still waiting for ATT activation. This is a fantastic phone.

update: I had to reboot for the ATT activation to take. Thought this might help someone else.

(it came with LRX21O)
[Nexus 6  General] 3's&7's:
At&t got them today and on display starting Sunday.

T-Mobile have them too now and on display. I handled a blue 32gb this afternoon. Its freaking huge and actually pretty light weight.
[Nexus 6  General] ddrwizard:
got mine today loving the heck out of it.. confirmed no bloatware with removal of sim before setup.. awesome phone! reviews do minimal justice to this device.
[Nexus 6  General] oak:
I totally agree. Awesome phone!
[Nexus 6  General] LiquidHonesty:
FYI, I run my company's corporate account (small though, only about 60 smartphones) and what he told you was correct as they pretty much give us control over our lines, per say and the stores are not supposed to work with the accounts. BUT, they can if they want to. It would require him to call the person listed as your plan administrator to verify that it's ok with them.

Have you talked to your plan administrator at work? I know I always keep a few regular, micro, and nano sims on hand for when people lose/damage/change phones. And then it's literally like 3 clicks and then enter the new SIM number and click submit and it'll transfer. I have seen the transfer take anything from 5 minutes to 5 hours though (strange but true).

Not sure if any of that helps, or makes sense........LOL:D
[Nexus 6  General] SilkyJohnson:
This thing is slick as you know what.

Definitely investing in a TPU case. Signal is better for ME than my N5. Obviously can't judge battery yet.

I also find the N5 loads camera and takes pics quicker, however I'm judging encrypted vs unencrypted (not sure if matters - seen the benchmarks) so who knows. Free RAM is amazing with exact same setup compared to N5.

Sorry for the ramblings. I love this phone so far.
[Nexus 6  General] Wallcrawler:
Thanks for the info! No, I haven't tried speaking with them yet mostly because they're located at our home office in CA and I'm at an office in IL (it's not like I can casually catch them at the coffee maker). Besides, I should review our policy on corporate phones -- they probably think I'm still using the shoddy iPhone4 they assigned to me 2+ years ago! ;)

Thanks again!
[Nexus 6  General] alhadee12:
I received mine yesterday and set it up out the box within removing the SIM card and no bloatware. I would like to know if it is unlocked. I experienced a random reboot this morning, have anyone else experienced it?
[Nexus 6  General] jamezr:
Got mine Thursday…had the BL unlocked and rooted within 10 minutes. Installed TWRP and made a backup….got my sim unlock code and now it is on Verizon and working like a champ! :) LOVE this phone so far!
[Nexus 6  General] land2634:
How did you manage to get your sim unlock code, if you don't mind me asking? PM me if you don't feel like posting here?
[Nexus 6  General] jamezr:
I tried AT&T............got the big run around. tried different reps. Called several times with the spiel about traveling abroad. Didn't work......so I bought a code from these guys....they delivered within the day with a good code but YMMV.

http://www.cellunlocker.net/

Edit: It was only $25 so it was worth it to me.......................
[Nexus 6  General] caspersfi:
Absolutely ridiculous how fast this device is.
[Nexus 6  General] phab3k:
well, even though I'm going to be traveling outside the country, AT&T is refusing to give me an unlock code. The rep on the phone even tried to tell me that Tmo and Sprint also have carrier locks, bloatware, and a sim lock. I informed them they were wrong. And it wasn't a regular rep, this was the shift supervisor that told me this. She said motorola was who decided to tarnish the AT& nexus. Guess I'm going the unofficial route for the sim unlock. This really pisses me off, I've been an AT&T customer for 10 years, never had an outstanding balance, and have put up with their garbage for a long time. I'm half tempted to say screw them and go with Tmo even though Tmo has ****tier coverage in my area.
[Nexus 6  General] oak:
Tethering works

Not sure why but tethering works on my Nexus 6. Is this because I am on a mobile share plan? All I have done is root, flash TWRP, disable boot animation, and kill ads with a hosts file.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
Yes, Mobile Share plans automatically have tethering included.
[Nexus 6  General] oak:
Thanks, P1 Wookie. This is my first time on a mobile share plan. I did not know that.
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
provisioned mine about 5 hours ago. voice came up within minutes, but getting no data as far as i can tell. the signal strength "bars" (triangle) has an exclamation point on the far right. data is on, but data roaming is off. on a chat as we speak. he couldn't find the problem, but he's going to try re-provisioning my sim again...

for most things you'll never tell the difference. i like to use the analogy of a rifle versus a pistol in a room. most rifles shoot a bullet 3-4 times faster than a pistol bullet. but in a small room, who cares? same with phone speed. for things that don't require a high a high cycle rate, you'll never tell the difference.

[Nexus 6  General] FredSanbo:
Got mine today and man it is amazing. After using the N6's screen every other phones screen feels too tiny. 6", even though i was nervous at first, turned out to be a great size IMO. My old HTC m7 feels like a kids toy now haha
[Nexus 6  General] jc2470:
I ship fed ex quite often and when it says 5 days i often get it in 2 days or next day.
[Nexus 6  General] Konikub:
That's not a bad price for unlocking my Nexus 6. For what we pay AT&T a month in service, they should give unlock codes to those who need to travel abroad.

So with removing the boot animation, AT&T bloatware, removing the logo on the back (without a scratch), and unlocking my Nexus for $25 .....this is turning out to be a sweet pure Nexus experience.
[Nexus 6  General] sarshadd:
I have a grandfathered unlimited LTE data plan with at&t and have been using Nexus/unlocked devices to tether freely since 2009.

Is this built-in tethering-subscription check going to ruin it?
[Nexus 6  General] stoobymcdoobie:
Add the following line to build.prop

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

It will remove the subscription check.
[Nexus 6  General] drumdestroyer:
I have the at&t version. The boot loader is unlockable. If you pay full price they will give you a Sim unlock code. I'm using mine on vzw right now. I removed the att logo on the back as well. Scrapes off easily leaving no marks with a credit card. And we can remove the boot animation as well. There is a thread around here with instructions.
[Nexus 6  General] jc2470:
i went to att today to get the nexus 6, 2 stores said they pulled them to ship them back because they weren't sim locked, and that they don't sell sim unlocked phones. Went to a 3rd store right before they closed and the guy didn't even know what the nexus 6 was, then he went check and said they only had 1 so i bought it, not sure how to tell if its sim unlocked without trying a different sim though.
[Nexus 6  General] JFizDaWiz:
You can only unlock devices that completed their contact/installment payments in full. That is their policy and the terms you agree to by using their service
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
request

Hey, got a favor to ask. Can you guys post your Google Play Services version? Also, if you've manually updated it.

I have what seems like the wrong version to me, but I'm a little nervous about updating it.
[Nexus 6  General] caspersfi:
Haven't updated anything Google Services related.
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
Thanks. So mine is the -736 version of 6.1.88 and that just seems wrong. I wonder if it because I was using a Nexus 4 and did the bump thing during initial setup.

The thing I want is trusted location for smart unlock and apparently that is in 6.5.87. I'm a little nervous that updating will kill battery performance, because I read that in at least 2 places on XDA and one on reddit.
[Nexus 6  General] jc2470:
Less than a day on it and loving it, boot loader unlocked and rooted. I also have note 4 awesome phone also, but loving the nexus 6.

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

If u really want the nexus 6 I would say try a few stores and find the dumbest guy in the room, he may sell it to u anyways, worked for me.
[Nexus 6  General] Airtioteclint:
There's a guy on cl wanting to trade the att variant for a gp. I thought they were all the same can someone tell me why he would want to do this?
[Nexus 6  General] bodosom:
6.5.87 which seems to have updated on 21-Nov from 6.5.85 which was manually installed (for secure places). At least that's what TiBU suggests.
[Nexus 6  General] 413vzwh8r:
The only difference is the sim card lock. The carrier branding can be gotten rid of pretty easily. The at&t logo scrapes off easy, took me a min or two, and with root you can dump the at&t boot animation. And the sim lock can be done either by at&t or pay $10 or so to get an unlock code online. Not sure wtf this guy is hoping to get out of the deal lol
[Nexus 6  General] Airtioteclint:
Yeah and he's even offering to throw in $50 on top. Wish I had ine to trade, easy money.
[Nexus 6  General] 413vzwh8r:
so clean up an at&t one and sim unlock it and sell it to him!
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
^^ this :thumbup:
[Nexus 6  General] 413vzwh8r:
Normally i wouldnt condone that type of stuff, but the amount of fools saying "oh its not a real nexus" etc and what not. Seriously?? Heaven forbid you put a hair of effort in. It seriously takes all of 10 minutes worth of effort.
[Nexus 6  General] land2634:
If you know what you're doing, it can take even less. Totally agree. I haven't exactly understood the criticism of it "not being a real Nexus".
[Nexus 6  General] JFizDaWiz:
the minor differences kinda bug me about the AT&T variant but not enough to not buy it (if i still had AT&T). enjoying mine on T-Mo, already getting better cell reception in my apartment too.
[Nexus 6  General] kkl0wn:
Is he asking for the white color or 64gb version? Only legitimate reasons for wanting to trade.

Make an offer to him that you'll unlock, remove logo and boot animation even sim unlock for $50. Then profit $40 after $10 unlock code!
[Nexus 6  General] tory13579:
I played with this version today at an AT&T store and I was blown away by how light it was. It is about the same if not lighter than my Nexus 4. It was snappy also, not sluggish at all. Another thing that was awesome was someone unplugged it and it was dead when I picked it up. I plugged it in checked the SOT and it was 6 hours 59 minutes! That was playing the AT&T video they all play.

It was awesome and being a 6" phone it was still manageable with one hand (my hands are a little big). Done deal! I will get it soon!

EDIT:Also, the AT&T boot animation is not that bad. Maybe added 2 seconds to boot time.
[Nexus 6  General] Baldilocks:
Nexus 6 - 6.49 oz. (184g)

Nexus 5 - 4.59 oz. (130g)

Nexus 4 - 4.90 oz. (139g)

Actually the Nexus 6 is quite a bit heavier than the previous Nexus phones.
[Nexus 6  General] tory13579:
Interesting! It sure felt lighter. I guess it because it is spread out. Either way it is not as heavy as I thought it would be.
[Nexus 6  General] htowngator:
I don't think they can lock it. You can own unlock at any time.
[Nexus 6  General] LucidLethargy:
AT&T Nexus 6 - Can it be reborn as a true Nexus 6?

So The Nexus 6 comes with bloatware (unless you remove your sim card prior to installation), a locked rom, and a AT&T boot screen... the question I have is can this be reborn as a TRUE Nexus 6 in it's entirety?
[Nexus 6  General] rambo6:
I went into a TMO store Saturday. They said they are SIM locked but they would give out the unlock code. I too was impressed with how light and bright they are. I still think they are too high priced by $100. They have no IR, removable battery, or even an SD card slot. I'd much rather buy from TMO than AT&T but I'm going to wait a till I can buy online from Google. They should have the bugs worked out by then. In the meantime, I'm intrigued with the Nokia 830 or 1520. I may just try one for kicks.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
The only thing "locked" is the carrier/sim, which you can get unlocked online for about 10 bucks. There are already threads on how to get rid of the at&t boot screen which is extremely easy once you root, and the deathstar badge on the back is extremely easy to take off.
[Nexus 6  General] xxmastermindxx:
Yes. Have you paid any attention to anything here?
[Nexus 6  General] 413vzwh8r:
Uh... The only thing locked about my N6 from AT&T is the locked sim port.... thats its.

Everything else is gone with 10 mins of effort.
[Nexus 6  General] jrojas537:
So.. I just deleted everything in the /oem partition.. And boot animation is gone.. So are ring tones..

Added comment to build.prop and no more tethering check..

Flashed modded boot.img.. No more encryption...

Manually installed newer Google services apk.. So it adds trusted places..

Rooted..

Only thing left that has att is actual physical logo...

Running awesome.. And since I have att.. Don't care about sim lock.
[Nexus 6  General] land2634:
Out of curiosity, where are people getting the sim unlock done for $10? I've seen several people mention that, but unless I missed it -- which is entirely possible -- I haven't seen anyone say where they're getting that done.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/remove-att-carrier-customization-thread-t2947581 2 options in the OP. One is 25 and quick. The other is 10 and a little slower.
[Nexus 6  General] land2634:
Fantastic. Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
Just my opinion, but I think people are blowing the AT&T thing way out of proportion. It takes no time at all to undo what they've done. Is it an inconvenience? Sure. But carriers (verizon) have done worse to Nexus devices before.
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
yeah, man! if you had paid attention to anything here, you would have known by now that you had void your warranty and give up the ability to get ota updates in order to take the att branding out of your phone and make it like a gps phone. sheesh. some people never learn. :rolleyes:

:tongue. firmly. in. cheek. :

-peter
[Nexus 6  General] mjj7801:
Exactly
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Is there any word on the 64gb version for att? I was sad to see best buy only has the 32gb version.
[Nexus 6  General] Dartman-x:
My N6 is a replacement phone. It came with a SIM card, but I popped it out before activating. Does it make a difference if I put in my old micro-SIM from a different phone or the new micro-SIM that came with the N6 phone?
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
You should be able to put in the sim from the active account and have it work right off the bat as long as it's the right size sim. I used to swap a micro sim back and forth between my Note2 and iphone it was seamless, with both working perfectly.

Just did it last week in fact. A couple days before this N6 arrived.

-Peter
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Nexus 6 takes a nano SIM
[Nexus 6  General] mejori:
android updates?

has anyone ever found a definitive answer on whether or not the AT&T Nexus 6 will receive updates direct from google, i find everyone referring to the fact that the bloatware can be removed and that the boot logo is not on system partition..but nothing actually saying

"yes it will be updated direct from google" and without intervention from AT&T... :confused:
[Nexus 6  General] papi5120:
All of the at&t stuff is on a separate partition that is not touched by the updates or by flashing an image so all updates will still be by google With no delay.
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
I've been hearing (reading) that root and/or unlocking bootloader will cause OTA updates to not work. If this is true though, it would affect all N6, not just ATT purchases. I'm prepared to have to flash factory images (instead of OTAs), side load OTAs, or return to stock (locked/unroot) in order to get OTA updates to work.
[Nexus 6  General] htowngator:
Well, they are SIM locked if you don't have it paid in full. You can request an unlock if it is paid out.

As for bootloader, they can't lock it permanently.
[Nexus 6  General] Dartman-x:
Yes, I meant a nano SIM, sorry. Do I need to use the nano SIM that came with the M6, or can I use an ATT nano SIM that I already have?
[Nexus 6  General] SilkyJohnson:
Only root and a custom recovery effect OTAs, unlocking the bootloader has no effect.
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
That's good. There's a lot of FUD being spread about the N6 in general and specifically the ATT sold N6. While I don't want to contribute fear, uncertainty, or doubt, I did want to point out that rooting and modification on the /oem partition seems to be what people want to do; and those people (me) won't be receiving OTA updates. I will have to jump through the proverbial hoops. However, since staged roll outs of Nexus OTAs started (back with my N4) I have never waited on the OTA to come to me, I go to get it.
[Nexus 6  General] bodosom:
Yes, this is well known and has applied to previous Nexus models as well.

However until Google pushes an OTA to an AT&T N6 it's not a certainty it will work if you've made any changes and since my last/previous/only other AT&T Nexus was a 2 (S) I don't recall how that worked.
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
again... if your active sim with the working account is the right size, it will work. i switch my micro sim between my note 2 and iphone regularly. both phones work fine with it.

-peter
[Nexus 6  General] Shaquiel Harris:
About to pop in my tmobile sim and decrypt it myself. Weird i'm still getting ota updates although my bootloader is unlocked and i have root. Dont know if this is already been asked but we can safely assume all roms we flash will have encrypting disabled correct? Been trying to get myself up to speed on everything but i'm somewhat having a hard time letting my OPO go. :(
[Nexus 6  General] mtucker:
For those still looking to buy a Nexus 6 (AT&T), I have been watching Bestbuy (still shows coming soon) and the AT&T website (been out of stock since the "recall"). Today I noticed ATT.com lets you add to cart so I bought one. I didn't see any delivery dates during the checkout process, but when I check order status it gives me "11/28/14 - 12/02/14" for a range of shipping dates. "Overnight Shipping: next business day" was no additional cost.
[Nexus 6  General] konaman:
I just got one on my at&t next plan. I owed $100 on it so I paid it up to get my phone N6 faster. I left the store after placing my order at 1130 this morning. I already have my tracking number from them, it will be here Friday. I can't wait. This phone and the OS is incredible! I'm so sick of touchwiz on my note 3.
[Nexus 6  General] mtucker:
The Nexus 6 I ordered on ATT.com today was showing "11/28/14 - 12/02/14" for a ship date. It just got shipped and I have my Fedex number. Same day shipping...... nice.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
I would imagine that will be up to the creator of the ROM. If you go flashing factory images, it will most likely have the encryption integrated into it.

I just shipped my OPO off to its new owner today. It wasn't too hard to let go. Lol. It was a great phone though.
[Nexus 6  General] Pyros2008:
Yeah, see that you can order through ATT now. Though I just noticed they have zero options, just the 32GB in Blue...

Anyone know if ATT will sell anything other than the blue 32GB? No freaking way I'm wasting my money on 32 when 64 is only $50 more retail. The more ATT dicks around, the more I want to just buy through Google... hell drop ATT altogether.
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
I am in the same boat. Don't want to settle on 32gb. I am getting frustrated at the lack of transparency on if ATT will ever sell the 64gb version.
[Nexus 6  General] garyd9:
Placed order online with AT&T (w/ overnight delivery.) It's showing a ship date of "12/01/2014 To 12/03/2014."

Based on what I'm reading on other threads, and even if it doesn't ship early, I'll get the phone long before I would if I ordered from motorola or google play (assuming either of those websites were accepting new orders.)

Getting rid of the AT&T "customizations" will be trivial enough (and MUCH easier than what I've had to go through with non-nexus AT&T phones.)
[Nexus 6  General] torred:
Placed my order last night but as of now still shows:
