Hi all,

I had a weird issue with my Nexus 6 yesterday, for about 2 hours it kept restarting and after that it started working normally.

Also the pinkish tint at low brightness seems more disturbing to my eyes.

While playing games such as FIFA15, NFS, Dead Trigger 2 it crashes and restarts again.

Should I ask for a replacement?

I haven't rooted yet, will that solve these issues? I am sure about the heating issue, but the restart issue is really annoying.

Suggest guys...

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6  General] PR0707YP3:
Go for a replacement. I do not have any such issues. My Nexus 6 is working fine.
[Nexus 6  General] lycan_codex:
Mine arrived just now. Ordered it yesterday at around 1:30 pM
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
another quick question, possible to replace my MB with CW?

approx, how long it will take to get the replacement?

Whoever got their replacement can pour in their views?
[Nexus 6  General] PR0707YP3:
I don't think mb to cw is possible.
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
Thanks,

and I have installed around 10-15GB of apps and Games, how do I get the app data backed up?

any backup apps?
[Nexus 6  General] anuragvivek93:
Got my phone delivered today. What are some of the defects I should check and how to check them. Please can anybody write those.

and one more thing.. there is an protective screen already on the screen.. Should i remove that and then apply my Rearth Protective screen or without removing the factory screen I should apply the Rearth one??:confused:

My device reached Delhi and is expected in Gurgaon in another few hours. I guess I'll get it around 4PM.

This wait is too tough to ignore. Have already taken a day off from the office. All the stuff is ready to get the bootloader unlocked and rooting.
[Nexus 6  General] PR0707YP3:
Titanium backup
[Nexus 6  General] vasishta.sushant:
Screen tinge is what I've seen is the larger problem. See if you get a pinkish hue, when you turn down the brightness. Also the screen burn is another problem with nexus displays but that could only be checked after prolonged usage.

Are you planning to root the device?
[Nexus 6  General] anuragvivek93:
yes soon.. but not for few days.. I want to make sure the device is defect free. before i root it... Very less pinkish hue is there in the device... very minimal.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Just got mine delivered 5 minutes back here in Gurgaon. Kudos to flipkart for the one day delivery :D
[Nexus 6  General] vasishta.sushant:
Same here . My device just for delivered.
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
Requested for replacement finally, after some issues over the past few days. Hoping to get a genuine product without any issues.
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
Did u requested flipkart.com or Motorola for replacement?
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
From Flipkart only? thats where i bought it.. any dfference?
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
So u called up flipkart.com and send the phone back to then using courier?
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
No, just requested for return online in their website, yet to confirm, might get a call today or tomorrow for confirmation and after that it will be delivered provided the device is available (sadly isn't the case - 64Gig MB).

Anyone noticed this and any fix pls?

[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
guys can u pls test one thing for me...play some music on play music through speaker phone not headphone and rotate the phone landscape and back to portrait and see if the sound cuts for a bit while rotating .... I am getting this and want to know if its on all nexus 6 or not
[Nexus 6  General] vasishta.sushant:
OK got my device and let me tell you that I am seriously disappointed.

Coming from the Note 2 (a 720p screen), I was hoping for a mind blowing experience on this bigger 1440p display. But the nexus screen is just outright horrible. No I am not having any pink hue but the screen doesn't give you that experience of being of a high density AMOLED panel. The color saturation is messed up badly. The blues are not blue, the greens are not green and the reds are not red. Black text looks fine but no better than what it was on my note 2. Comparing with the note 4 that I used for 15 minutes, this one is miles behind.

The performance isn't too good either. I ditched the Note 4 for the touchwiz for those micro stutters that it spreads everywhere. I was expecting better from the Google Launcher. Sad but I am back on Nova again. This launcher is no better than the Samsung Touchwiz.

Also the build quality itsn't too impressive. To me the nexus 5 looked lot more elegant and industrial. The camera again is too slow. I really mean that. The focus (the OIS and all the stuff), its no good.

Overall I am disappointed with the device and the money that I spent on it didn't serve me any good. Will have to stay with it for a year now and it'd be tough for me. Probably I was expecting too much but I was at least hoping the device to be better than my earlier note 2. Unfortunately it is not.
[Nexus 6  General] anuragvivek93:
Note 4 is utter crap. All those old Touchwiz UI.. ****ty for me. Love. My clean pure Nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] knightshooter:
Yes its there and that needs to be addressed in the next update

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

You sure its that bad? Non here have that feeling and are being honest(yes there are a few cons and that is why you aren't paying as huge as NOTE4). Frankly it can never be that bad as you interpreted it to be!!!!
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
So it's software issue right?
[Nexus 6  General] rohit3221:
4 hrs of sot for me as well in my first cycle...the phone was fully drained when it arrived... Will see how things turn out today...

P. S. Just loving this phone...

Anyone facing force shut down issue on their Nexus? Please inform me. As there is bug thread on google so I'm wondering, if I'm the only one out there facing such issue from India:confused:

my MB 64GB should be delivered today as the delivery guy told me. I was to receive my N6 on Jan 6 but is getting delivered today. I will let know how it goes :D

[Nexus 6  General] SAW_JOK3R:

[Nexus 6  General] tysonraylee:
sure :) first I will check whether they sent me 64GB or not as i am a bit skeptical since they sped up the delivery by 3 days even though I opted for a standard one.

Hopefully everything will be fine :)

[Nexus 6  General] vasishta.sushant:
Actually it is that bad. For a person who acquired this device in isolation, it'd look great. But having gone through the premium feel of the other flagship devices, this device leaves a lot to be desired. My major gripe is mostly about the screen quality. Of course it is high density but you still don't get that polished feel as you get with the LG G3/Note 4 - which carry the same 2K screens. I still find the edges of all the icons somewhat coarse. The text looks better than the earlier devices but no way close to the razor sharp fonts that you see on the G3/Note 4, even iphone 6.

I tested out the camera today and can tell that it isn't vastly superior over the note 2 camera (the only other device I had). It takes a tremendous time to focus and you've to toil real hard to get that shot. It is a pain if you try a macro/selective. I wonder how people are saying that the new nexus has got a fast shutter, I find it it to be in the league of moto g which I had as a backup phone, sometime ago.

Updated to the 5.01 and I was awestruck to see how un-optimized the OS is still. If you guys can go and change the settings in the play store (I was turning on the option to ask for password for every play store purchase) and I found that the dialogue boxes are cut at the bottom, consequently showing just half of the submit button. That's terrible. The memory usage after I installed all my essential apps was close to 1.7GB. Thats a huge leak somewhere. And I thought that google was the best.

I am not sure how to explain all that I am feeling about this device but its for sure that as much as I wanted to own a larger/developer device, this one isn't for me. Unfortunately I'll have to stick with it for another year or so - in order to harness the worth of the money spent on it.

Its a big thumbsdown from me.

r u comming from Note 4 ? me too and yes screen quality in Note 4 was a bit better but to be honest its not night and day difference and my friend has Lg G3 and it was was the first to get 2k display and is the worst compared to nexus 6 and note 4...screen quality note 4 > Nexus 6 > LG G3

but front firing speakers is almost like M8 and far better than note 4

screen is slightly bigger which is great for youtube and small vids along with front stereo speakers it works just great

and nexus is all about software and stock lollipop is far far better than Note 4 touchwiz and LG G3 UI both which lags and looks like 3-4 years old UI

I have had the note 4 from day 1 it was launched and only thing i miss now is the screen quality a bit but nexus 6 screen is also good just not as vibrant as note 4...but note 4 always had me expeience like 20k phones and I paid like 58K for it which is almost12-13k more than nexus 6 still now

it would have been ideal if samsung had made nexus this time with super amoled display and front firing speakers but moto's version of nexus is also good and its 12-13k cheaper than note 4

Friends my new nexus 6 has some stuttering while playing music.This stutter happens once in 5 instances when i am on the home screen and click the app drawer icon. Is this a known issue?
[Nexus 6  General] SAW_JOK3R:
I've a sad story to tell you mate. Actually when I ordered my tempered glass from AMZER, Nilkin has not started selling tempered glass. Amzer's tempered glass has a great flaw.It has no cutout for proximity sensor but Nilkin have that gap. Absence of camera's cutout will not do any issue for sure :) Attached two pictures to show the cutout for proximity sensor on Nilkin's glass and absence on Amzer's glass. The most AMAZING thing of AMZER which AMAZED me a lot that they clearly refused to give me a refund. I've pmed the ebay (IN) member who is selling both Amzer & Nilkin's tempered glass. He was shocked to hear such issue. Fortunately I got the tempered glass before him, so I was able to help him out. Check the pictures
[Nexus 6  General] SAW_JOK3R:
That's a common issue :) I'm also facing the same. Future update will solve it. It's memory leak. To be specific, when you're running or not running some apps, the RAM automatically increase at a certain point and that cause force shutdown/ reboot. There is a thread in Google Forum. Follow it for more update :) The thread has been marked completed by a Google employee, so expect a fix with next update :)

So should I place a replacement request with flipkart?? This happens only when say I am listening to music and press the app drawer button.It happens say once in 6-7 times.

[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
I've got a new reason to hate flipkart now.

I was having the restart/shut down issue for the past one week and requested for a replacement last week when the product was available and they told me to do a factory reset and uninstall applications.

And after doing everything on Sat it worked well yesterday but getting the issue again from this afternoon. I can't use the nano sim in any of my backup mobiles too.

When I call and ask for a replacement, they say that the product is not in stock and they can only provide refund and not a replacement.

Really frustrated.
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
at least flipkart is refunding you full amount, suggest u take the refund and reorder again once stock is ready....its better that contacting motorola
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
thanks for the suggestion, but is the issue occurring to others as well I guess.

If it is 'coz of a software issue, a fix can be released by google right?

Yea, it's a software issue.. Wait for Google to release a fix.

Yes I can see those marks. It is not seen in my cw64gb . and it should also not be seen in yours too. If it bothers you, which functionally it wouldn't but then if it still does that. Ask for a replacement.but this time ask for a 64gb white . so u may experience both variants.

why have people grown so brand conscious these days?? for god sake its just a phone at the end of the day, who spends Rs:600-2000/- on a silly back cover and screen guard?? and what is the meaning of tampered proof,shatterproof, super ultra clear,diamond coating etc?? if your phone which is made of hard plastic/metal cannot stand a fall how can a thin layer of plastic save it??

come on people common sense!!

I bought a screen guard and back cover just for Rs:200/- and it works perfectly :)

These companies just take your money and give you a branded product which ultimately does the same thing what a cheaper one would do.

btw I am not pointing it towards you, my comment is in general to all :)

Nexus 6 is a very delicate device even with CGG3.

So spending 800-900 and avoiding screen replacement of 7000-10000 is rather good deal.

In Nexus 6 issue it's not about the brand but about the alignment.Many good brands like Spigen,Zagg,Skinimi,Xtremeguard,etc. are fail.

Speakerphone

I am not happy with the Speakerphone quality. Its very noisy and even when I use the earpiece, I hear some reverberations and echo. Basically the sound is not clear. The voice quality is a bit better though after the call is connected. Is something wrong with my N6? Is this a case for return?
