i ordered mine yesterday evening as soon as they listed online. today morning i got the shipment confirmation.
[Nexus 6  General] jaimeletelierhay:
I've got a 64gb midnight blue
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
For those of you with official nexus qi chargers, the device does charge but you have to have an exact placment !!!! Due to the curve of the device if you knock it, it may slip from position and not charge !

Missed my alarm today because of this !
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
Does it not have magnets like the Nexus 5 to pull it onto the right position then?
[Nexus 6  General] mediaman123:
;) I am glad I have made you happy especially so close to Christmas......

it has been dispatched to store for pick up on Monday.........:)
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
No it does not, im trying to tear down the nexus 5 qi charger to raise the coil and remove the magnets, and use some stickey feet so that i can use the same charger slightly modified for the N6.
[Nexus 6  General] mcwarre:
I bought a Moto X for the missus last month. Ordered Thursday got here on Monday from China to HK to US to UK. Not bad at all! Hope my nexus 6 is as fast

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

Oooh oohhh mine has shipped too. Bet it arrives when I am not here!!!
[Nexus 6  General] iRimas:
i order mine on Thursday as well and it is shipped already. and its with DHL i hop i get it on monday. thanks
[Nexus 6  General] sjdean:
Phooey. Im missing valuable time. Ordered on 12th December, not shipped yet. Should not have waited and ordered on the 12th....

Grrr.
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
Can someone with access to a blue and/or a white nexus tell me if the blue aluminium trim looks tacky compared to the silver?

I've got half a mind to switch to the white and get a dbrand but 99% of the time my phone will be in a ringke Max that hides the trim or a ringke fusion that will discolour over time and the blue trim would distract from the discoloured tpu

Any advice?
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
I wouldn't worry about it too much mate if it's going to be in the ringke max case most of the time because you're not going to see it

I'm just waiting on the same case coming should be here next week (pre ordered it on the 21st November )
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
I know but with my iPhone 4 or nexus 4 when I take it out of the case I'm like "damn this is a nice phone" but I don't want to see that blue and think yuck this looks ugly. The back plastic on the blue is nice, the aluminium is my problem.
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
Ordered yesterday from Motorola.uk and it left SHENZHEN already
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
If it bothers you that much mate swap the blue for a white one

You just answered your own question :)
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
Gonna go into a store and have a look at a dummy and ask if they've got a white one. I really don't want to spend more money on accessories like a dbrand and if I do idk what colour to get. Plus I like the way the M pops on the blue nexus since my full name has 4 M's.

Also I received my black ringke Max yesterday and I didn't like it, it felt slippery but its grown on my the more I play with it so it might be the same with the blue nexus

So damn confused!
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Ha ha to many choices

I ordered the black ringke max so I'm hoping that's ok as I'm just using a black tpu case at the moment
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
Its a sweet case, its not bulky at all, the plastic doesn't feel that grippy and the rubber/tpu isn't exposed on the side since so there is nothing to grip other than the plastic but I think it need breaking in
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Sounds like a decent case I'm glad I chose that over the spigen

It looked miles better but it's the wait lol

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

I ordered a cotech tempered glass screen protector

That came this morning and it's way too small not worth wasting your money on guys
[Nexus 6  General] sjdean:
What time yesterday?
[Nexus 6  General] Hereisphilly:
Still waiting patiently for my GPS order that's due for despatch on the 24th, so not long now!

But in the meantime my fitbag pouch arrived from Germany and man this phone is huge! Completely dwarfs my N5 which was by no means a small phone when I got it last year
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
I had both the blue and white versions, I quite liked both to be honest, but the white looked a little bit better in my opinion, its totally preference though, some prefer darker colours some prefer lighter, i have my 64gb white in a spigen slim fit case anyway...
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
I prefer darker colours, if the blue came with a darker silver or gunmetal frame it won't be an issue. I don't care about colour right now just give me the damn 64gb model.

As a side point I doubt there would be as many delays if the only physical difference between the devices was the plastic back plate (I mean if they both had a silver aluminium frame)
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
According to the Motorola UK website, the 64gb is in stock, don't know how long they take to ship though. Where did you order from? And when?
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
Carphone warehouse on the 26th November. :'(

Its likely that whenever the moto one will arrive CPW will arrive about the same time if not sooner.
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
It will arrive soon, did you get a predicted delivery date when you purchased? Mine was the 8th but got it on the 5th, so can't complain. You'll have it soon not long to go now!
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
I was told the 1st then the 8th,15th, 22nd, 30th and now 29th
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
CPW customer service don't know what they are talking about, for you, the date I would go by is what the website said for your particular model at the time of order, did you order to the store or direct to the home? Mine went straight to the store.
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
Home and it said 1st. Just seen the blue and I might switch to white and buy a dbrand.
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
Google is a ****.

I bought the phone on Nov 26.

I called their support on Dec 8, they said due to a glitch in the system my order hasn't been processed and the phone hasn't been dispatched. Now the dispatch date is Dec 24.

What kind of idiot would dispatch a phone a night before public holidays ?
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
Better do that fast then mate your order could already be out
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
Can't call since the phone lines are down. Might wait until Monday/Tuesdays and see if I get a notification.

The last thing I want is them to say we don't have any in stock until February.

I might let the blue come then get it exchanged in store. Seems like the smart thing to do.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Hey guys you know about the offer of 6 months google music if you buy your Nexus 6 from play store?

I bought mine from giffgaff and I've got it too so must be for anyone that's bought a Nexus 6:D
[Nexus 6  General] fleonard:
True, I can sign in as well. Bought from CPW
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
On play store it says on Nexus 6 bought from play store but I thought what the hell I'll try

Now I'm glad I did
[Nexus 6  General] mike_m:
I'm returning my Blue 64GB Nexus 6. I bought it from CPW via their Click & Collect service and collected last Sunday.

Anyone know if I can return in store for refund or have to do it via post?

Has anyone seen their Xmas returns policy. It says sim free phones can't be returned for refund but only for exchange. Due to their standard 14 day return and distance selling I presume I will be OK.
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
go to news and help->contact us-> email or call us, or use the folllowing url and then select "my orders, deliveries, returns or exchanges" from the drop down box

https://selfhelp.carphonewarehouse.com/SelfHelp/request.do?forward=contactus

here is a quote
[Nexus 6  General] disk0360:
Mike_m you should be fine returning it with the first 14 days, its a standard cooling off period.

I returned my 32gb blue to giffgaff as the battery was just awful, I'm sure it was faulty.

Ordered a white 64gb though Motorola which should be delivered before xmas.

Any reason for returning the phone?
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
Did you check how much screen on time you were getting? Im currently getting about 4 hours, im a power user and play games and processor intensive apps quite alot, im sure i could stretch to 5 hours if i was conservative.
[Nexus 6  General] disk0360:
I was lucky to get 2 hours being conservative, had some really bad drain issue. It would lose 10% over night doing very little
[Nexus 6  General] nickyg008:
Edit: ignore this, I've seen responses after I replied

Cpw sim free
[Nexus 6  General] PotatoPatato5050:
Ordered on Friday at around 15:00.

Current status is the parcel has been picked up by DHL and has left Shenzen as of Saturday afternoon at around 13:00.

No status update for over 24 hours which is slightly worrying............

Anyway, I ordered the 32gb White.
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
I'm hoping it has flown over to LHR and waiting for Monday morning for someone to unload the cargo bins and scan it again.
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
From my countless trips there, LHR is Lahore, Pakistan. I wonder if I can buy a device and get it sent to my cousins address.... Mind you getting though the traffic alone from 1 side of Lahore to the other will take 2 weeks.

:)
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
That would be LHE? If my phone has popped over to Pakisatan then it's in the wrong country.
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
You're right. Lhr is London Heathrow according to google. I got excited because nothing fun ever happens in Pakistan. They've only just got a KFC and pizza hut in my home city there.
[Nexus 6  General] iRimas:
i seen on the US post they ordered from motorola and same like us its shipped from china. and one guy order on thursday and he got it on monday .so dont no mine also updated as picked up from china . destination is Birmingham around 12th . after that no update. will c..
[Nexus 6  General] dodgebizkit:
Just wait until you get a subway :P

-------------------------->SIG<------------------------

Even my house phone's better than your iPhone.
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
We have a subway, it's just not that nice anywhere in the world. We need a Hardee's burgers in England, they're the best burgers I've ever had, only thing I eat in Dubai. If you go America, give it a try
[Nexus 6  General] PotatoPatato5050:
I read somewhere (annoyingly can't find it now) that goods ordered go from Shenzen to HK and then onward...

The only problem is clearing customs which has proven to be plagued with delays at times. I can't post a link because I have less than 10 posts.

But google this "goods-stuck-in-chinese-customs-shenzhen-dhl-delays.332864"
[Nexus 6  General] teamick5:
I've had mine on order with vodafone since the 18th of last month. Today I finally got to see one in the flesh in store at carphone-warehouse. Kinda disappointed with the size, i currently have a 6.44 inch screen Chinese phone. Has anyone upgraded from a z ultra?
[Nexus 6  General] sjdean:
Ordered mine 6.20pm on Friday. Still says "Not Shipped". Rats.
[Nexus 6  General] stevie_boy:
Anyone tried using the N6 in a LTE A advanced enabled area? I'm with Vodafone and have just tried mine in Manchester (which is LTE A enabled) and my download speeds were way off the claim of 300Mbs... No way of telling either if it's connected to the advanced part of the network as it just said 4g in the task bar.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Just a point I thought you guys should know if you ordered from cpw and want to return, do it in store. I returned on Thursday and got money in my account already (Sunday).
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
Just picked up my N6 64gb white from CPW. I am very very happy with it!
[Nexus 6  General] l3uddz:
When did you order it? Contract? Which carrier? Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] Barso1:
Looking for insurance advice.

I bought the N6 from CPW but I'm worried and accidental damage cover, can anyone provide what company I should go to?

Are the Geek Squad useful?

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

Does this include online orders?

I thought if purchased online then it had to be returned to their online store.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yep, I ordered online and returned in store. Their website says you can return in store although not directly. It worked anyway and I got my money back faster than if I returned by post.
[Nexus 6  General] Barso1:
Thanks, I'll be doing that tomorrow.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Just take it in with the receipt that you got with the phone. They just looked me up on the system and asked me to put the card I used into the chip and pin machine and that's it. Just make sure you take the right card that the phone was purchased with.
[Nexus 6  General] jaimeletelierhay:
Anybody in the UK got the 5.0.1 update without side loading? I got the software update notification but it vanished after a bit then never returned.....
[Nexus 6  General] Barso1:
Thanks, did they still refund you with the box being opened or does it have to be unused?
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
They didn't say anything about the box being opened etc. Just make sure if you've played with it to set it back to factory and the bootloader is locked if you've previously unlocked it. From what the website says, you have 14 days to return it if you've changed your mind. On the site it says you can turn it on and try it but don't save any data unless you're absolutely certain you want to keep it.

I just said I had a go and played with it but changed my mind. No questions, just completed the refund there and then.

The thing is that as the phone is encrypted before hand, returning back to factory will be safe as any data left will be encrypted and any one who uses it next will write over the drive sections where data might still lurk. Always best to encrypt your phone before reset if you're selling or whatever to protect any data that might be left.
[Nexus 6  General] Barso1:
Thank, I'll take it back tomorrow. The phone is just to large for me as much as I love it. I find I'm not picking it up as much as I should because of the size.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I just missed all the stuff I had on my note 4. I know touchwiz is slow etc and Samsung phones are full of bloatware but you realise how spoilt you were when you go from that to a complete stock phone. I didn't like the camera on the n6 too. I'm on my OnePlus One for now until the S6 comes out. The n6, despite the options to customise etc, was too bland for me.
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
Pre-order release date and sim free. Took two complaints but got there in the end!
[Nexus 6  General] ChrisJ:
I wouldn't worry too much, there may be occasional problems but the Moto X I had for a week before I returned it and went for the N6 arrived very quickly from Shenzen. Just a few days.

Motorola customer services were very efficient to deal with when I wanted to return it too, absolutely no fuss.
[Nexus 6  General] superstevie:
why do you use OPO rather than Note 4 now?

I'm surprised you returned your Nexus as I saw you posting on this thread so actively and it seemed you really wished to get this phone...
[Nexus 6  General] xdafalter:
Power-on on wireless charge?

Hi all,

my N6 turns back on when I put it on my QI charger (RAVPower® RP-WCN7). Unfortunately I'm one of those weird guys who like their phone off while sleeping. Does this happen to you as well? I hope it's not per design.

Charging with cable just lights up the display with the battery-symbol for a few seconds. I guessed this also should happen with wireless charging; at least it did with my N5.
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
Someone on the wireless charging thread had the same issue, idk if he resolved it but I suggested that the closest thing to turning it off is to put it in aeroplane mode which will also charge it faster
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Mine turned n automatically when I placed it on a charging pad. Got two pads and did that on both. Battery was completely drained as well. Think it's just a design thing. The iPhone and iPads do the exact same thing when you plug them in.
[Nexus 6  General] sohails4:
my nexus 6 order from the motorola store has now landed at east midlands according to my tracking can't wait
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
You ordered on the 11th?
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
I had the same thing happen, a couple of other users on here have experienced the same issue, i think what happened was google accidentally pushed to all nexus 6 devices, realised they made a mistake and are now doing thier usual slow roll out over a 2 week period... im sure we will see it in a week or two... to be honest its not a huge update and im not coming accross any bugs so not a rush for me
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
Mine's just arrived at Heathrow, from East Midlands, so should have it tomorrow at the latest. I ordered on Thursday.

For anyone waiting from CPW, I'd say cancel and order from Motorola.
[Nexus 6  General] sjdean:
I wouldn't say that just yet. I ordered 6.20pm on the 12th (Friday) and it still hasn't shipped. Granted it's only 3.30pm in Shenzhen at the moment. Im hoping it will ship soon and at least get in the system. Would be just my luck to cancel CPW, then not have the Motorola one ship until Friday and find I would have had an email from CPW advising on shipping tonight.... Grrr.

Im feeling like I should not be getting one. Too much hassle.
[Nexus 6  General] GavinAshford:
No update on my order tracking (order confirmation email at 18:33 on Thursday Dec 11), DHL still shows Departed Facility in Shenzhen.

If some peoples are at Heathrow I'd hope mine was on the same shipment (delivery address in Camberley, Surrey).
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
I dont think anyone has has any shipping notification over the weekend from cpw I know I certainly didnt get one. Kind of wished I had cancelled and ordered direct now. I know if I do cpw will all of a sudden have them.
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
My phone is now out for Delivery. Ordered on Thur from Motorola :D

Edit: It's just been signed for by the post room.

Very quick service from Motorola!
[Nexus 6  General] sohails4:
That's right a 64gb blue on the 11th it's now in Manchester
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
Mine still saying Departed Facility in SHENZHEN since Saturday night, ordered Friday around 2PM
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Use aftership from play store mate just enter tracking number and it notifies you of every change on your shipping
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
Or just sign up on the DHL web site for email alerts.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Yeah but aftership tracks all your shipments from all couriers not just one
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
Anybody received his phone from Motorola yet guys ?
[Nexus 6  General] doodalon:
For all those who ordered via Motorola, that are ordering to a different delivery address to the billing address, Did they need to do security checks etc, or was it straight forward, type in details, and done.

Just asking because I currently have a Blue 64GB on order from GPS, but would much prefer the White from Motorola, unsure how long it'll take for the GPS to get White in. GPS, I have no issues what so ever with a different delivery address, but recently had an issue with CPW because of it.

Was the process simple to go through, check out etc, everything confirmed?
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
Yes, well, my post room has. I can't collect it till they email me.
[Nexus 6  General] peadarog:
Hi,

did you order directly from Motorola? If so, when did you get your tracking number? I ordered on Saturday and so far only have an order number. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
I have different delivery address and it goes without a problem and It must have reached UK by now
[Nexus 6  General] sohails4:
I ordered on Thursday and got my tracking number on Friday!
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
Can you please tell me when you get it how big the shipping box is .. because i see the guys who ordered from Motorola USA the box was huge to protect the packing of the phone because it was coming directly from China and a picture of the box would be perfect

Thanks :)
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
Unless anyone posts before I go pick it up this afternoon, sure.
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
So DHL delivers it to the post office and then the post office delivers it to you .. because DHL sent my cousin who is gonna receive it for me an SMS telling him if you wanna collect it from DHL service point send 9 otherwise it will be delivered to the original address
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
No, it went to my work address and it's in the post room there, and I'm working from home today.
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
I suspect hes had it delivered to his work, who has their own post room for all deliveries.
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
Bad luck for you lol :D
[Nexus 6  General] sohails4:
Where are you from mine doesn't say out for delivery so I take it your sorting point is closer to you than mine as mine had to go from East Midlands to Manchester
[Nexus 6  General] xdaadnank:
Long time lurker, new poster :)

I have an order placed with GPS with expected delivery around the 24th of Dec. I was somewhat tempted by UK Moto, seeing as they have a quick delivery turnaround but I wasn't sure on the Warranty process./ With GPS, they send you a new phone and you send your old one back, after speaking to Moto it appears this isn't the case with Motos warranty, with Moto they send you a jiffy bag and they collect the phone and have it repaired then send back, this can take 7 working days, ergo, I'll be sticking with my GPS order.
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
Canary wharf.
[Nexus 6  General] sohails4:
I guess DHL are a lot more efficient down south!!
[Nexus 6  General] GavinAshford:
For those of you with DHL updates since it left Shenzhen, what are the next tracking stages listed in the trace?
[Nexus 6  General] GavinAshford:
Cheers, mines got the exact same times for steps 1,2 and 3 but then nothing. Dammit.
[Nexus 6  General] PotatoPatato5050:
Yep, in the same boat as you.

I reckon we'll get it around Wednesday.....

Ordered 15:00 on Friday 12th
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
I can't see the photo
[Nexus 6  General] sjdean:
My order from Motorola still hasn't shipped, placed 18:30 on Friday 12th December.

I've contacted the front line peeps at Motorola who say "it's a busy period" and confirm it's not shipped.

But those who ordered on Thursday have had their phone shipped. What gives? Nearly 3 days after and no further updates?

Grrr.
[Nexus 6  General] mediaman123:
Got my baby today, well, the misses has picked it up, I will be embracing my new handset at about 17:15 tonight.............:)
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
Would you please share a pic of how big the shipping box is because in USA the shipping box from Motorola was huge

Is it the same as this guy ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4UsO6AxSG4
[Nexus 6  General] mediaman123:
my device was actually shipped straight to my closest Carphone Warehouse store for collection, so my wife just picked up the normal nexus 6 box inside a clear plastic bag........

this is just going from pictures she has sent as I am not home yet.........

so I didn't actually get it sent straight to the front door and so any packaging it may have been in, if any, during transit to the store was likely removed before being handed over...........

the box in that video though it pretty big........
[Nexus 6  General] iRimas:
Hi Guys i order Nexus 6 64GB white on Thursday on motorola.co.uk. i just receive the phone. i am loving it.. no words to describe. happy days
[Nexus 6  General] steslatt:
I'm in a similar situation. I've ordered with Amazon. They have the same policy as GPS. I've had bad experiences with other places like CPW where the phone has had a fault, I've sent it off for repair and it's come back exactly the same. For me the extra wait to get from somewhere with a better warranty is well worth it when you are paying so much for something.
