I really want to run the phone naked, and it just seems like too much of an eye sore. The giant nexus logo combined with the Moto logo was more than enough.
[Nexus 6  General] marper123:
That's not the news I wanted to hear:eek:
[Nexus 6  General] Rado_vr6:
My cousin is the assistant manager at our local AT&T store. He says a select few stores will be getting small shipments in by Monday at the latest . So if anyone wants to grab one, you can just walk on in.
[Nexus 6  General] sfidelisrp:
On the hunt then.
[Nexus 6  General] 413vzwh8r:
It's still something fixable though. That's the point. I wont be having it!

So help me I'll be unlocked and rooted day one.
[Nexus 6  General] XtheBaker:
I got an USPS tracking number from AT&T yesterday and they said they shipped out yesterday. But the tracking number stayed unchanged for a whole day. When I checked it today after work, it says it was picked up TODAY. Don't know if AT&T did it to make me think it was shipped yesterday or USPS somehow forgot my package. Anyways, at least it was shipped today so I can get it by Friday, otherwise I'd be really mad. I would suggest you wait a day and see what happens with your tracking number. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6  General] Talnev:
Same here. Does yours have an ETA on it?
[Nexus 6  General] dsmitty166:
Yep, exact same story here. I was hoping I'd get it tomorrow, but now it seems like it won't be happening. Was picked up around 5 or so tonight it says. Frustrating! At least it's 2 day shipping and should be here before the weekend. Not sure why some people got fedex and others got stuck with slow USPS!!
[Nexus 6  General] XtheBaker:
Nope, but it does say USPS Priority Mail 2 day. Let's just hope that USPS holds up their end of the deal... :crying:
[Nexus 6  General] zizo79:
Any way you post a video or gif of the boot animation please?
[Nexus 6  General] Neverendingxsin:
It should be exactly the same as the one sold through the play store, so you should be fine.
[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
I'm sure it will be but there's always a possibility of something being different.
[Nexus 6  General] Neverendingxsin:
You're right there is a possibility, but I highly doubt it.
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Do you guys think att will have preorders? I know it's not announced just want your opinions.
[Nexus 6  General] Neverendingxsin:
Yes
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
What was the Note 3 debacle? Are you talking about how installing a custom recovery would trip the Knox counter? Or are you talking about something else?

-peter
[Nexus 6  General] kennonk:
I'm talking about AT&T doing everything in their power to lock the device down so tight the first 6 months the device was out there was almost zero development.
[Nexus 6  General] Neverendingxsin:
That's a Samsung device and a completely different company.
[Nexus 6  General] kennonk:
There was plenty of development on the other carrier versions. AT&T and Samsung worked together to make their version of the note 3 a lot more difficult to put a custom recovery on.
[Nexus 6  General] kyan~:
Here is the problem a lot of ppl are having. Why are we under the impression that we can get "secret hidden news" from customer care representatives? You're only making their job worse. Press releases are generally sent out the SAME time customer care/retail representatives get their info regarding preorders and launch dates and pricing.

F***, asking a customer care rep if the nexus 6 will come with bloatware. You seriously think they know the answer to that. jesus f***** christ.

Do yourselves a favor and f***** wait.
[Nexus 6  General] micl9:
That's exactly the reason I returned the G3

I am game to get the 2yr contract version, if its identical to play store version. Could care a less if it has the death star on it though.
[Nexus 6  General] dmnall:
All i know as a former att customer to tmo, when i bought my nexus 4 from google and went into T-Mobile same exact phone. I am sure all the carrier phones will be exactly the same as directly from google or even motorola. It is a nexus that will be sim unlocked and support all of the gsm, hspa and lte bands. I was going to buy the n6 from google but with the price i might as well get the phone from tmo with jump for the same price...

Cheers,

Charlie
[Nexus 6  General] Neverendingxsin:
But that's Samsung, we are talking about Google here.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
How is Edge a scam? The cost of the edge payment on a top tier device gets negated by the 25/mo bill credit (on more everything 10gb or higher plans) per smartphone, so the payment is essentially zero. It let's you stay in a top tier phone all the time.... It also eliminates the contract... so if I want to move to another carrier I am free to do so and only have to pay any remaining balance on the phones themselves.

How am I being scammed?
[Nexus 6  General] kennonk:
I understand. I was just saying that after the AT&T version of the Note3 was so locked down I vowed to never buy an AT&T branded phone ever again. If the AT&T Nexus 6 is bootloader unlocked like Nexus phones should be, I might re-up a contract to get it rather than paying the $650 full retail like I did for the 2 phones I've bought since my Note 3...that is all I was saying. Sorry for the confusion...
[Nexus 6  General] Neverendingxsin:
That I definitely understand, if it's locked down then ill pass on the carrier version as well.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
If the carrier version is locked down I'll just wait until H1 2015 and get the best 64bit capable 810 based phone I can. If the info out is true the performance of those processors with their GDDR4 memory bandwidth advantages will be significantly faster than the 805. The 801/802 to 805 was a tick, the 805 to 808/810 will be a tock!
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014...talks-to-android-execs-about-the-upcoming-os/

Judging by Burke's statement, that's the way Google expects the majority of people will purchase the new phone. The last Nexus device to launch on a top-tier US carrier was the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, and that was constantly hamstrung by the carrier's interference. It blocked Google Wallet from the device to protect its competing mobile wallet solution, ISIS (now renamed "SoftCard"), which wouldn't hit the nationwide market until two years later. Updates were also constantly delayed, nullifying the best feature of the Nexus line and leaving customers feeling betrayed.

As such, we asked if history would repeat itself with these new carrier Nexus devices. "I don't think we're going to do that. There is carrier testing that has to happen—you can't get away from that—but we're trying to have our updates be frequent," Burke said. "I think the carriers are learning and realizing that's a feature they want. So I think these are getting more efficient and they're getting better at it."

So it sounds like carrier Nexus devices will lag behind the unlocked versions, as they will have an additional carrier testing step. The hope this year is that the carriers wise up and won't delay things too much, but the potential for a delay is there.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
That article all but confirms the N6 will be unlocked despite buying a carrier device or play store device. Just as I predicted, it suggests carrier bloatware will still be prevalent but Google themselves are pushing for user-uninstallable apps.
[Nexus 6  General] dadymon53:
But as long as there is the capability of unlocking the bootloader and root we can get rid of the bloatware, and do as we please with our phones, then to hell with the carriers!
[Nexus 6  General] XtheBaker:
What pisses me off is that they updated the tracking number and tricked me into believing that I would actually get it tomorrow! I have a bunch of classes on Friday! So much for waiting it at home and play with it! :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6  General] dsmitty166:
Yeah I got a tracking number and a shipped status last night too.
[Nexus 6  General] soulctcher:
For the benefit of everyone, would someone on the AT&T N6 perform and confirm the unlockable bootloader?
[Nexus 6  General] malinois16:
+1 If this could be confirmed I would just order from AT&T and be done with it even though I really want a 64g version.
[Nexus 6  General] soulctcher:
That's my feeling and a bunch of others'. I'm over getting the 64GB or white...I'll just skin the thing and make better use of my private cloud.
[Nexus 6  General] Plexicle:
Where are our XDA brethren? Why haven't we gotten a confirmed unlocked on this yet?

Is this not the FIRST thing you guys do with your phone?? I unlock mine before I even turn them on for the first time. (I understand this time is a small exception, have to check the box first.)

But still, come on guys.
[Nexus 6  General] TheMFTruth:
I'll definitely confirm tomorrow as soon as I get it but hopefully someone beats me to it.
[Nexus 6  General] guut13:
This site claims it's unlockable...

http://www.droidmatters.com/news/confirmed-the-att-nexus-6-sports-the-carriers-logo-on-the-back/

"Sure you can unlock the bootloader (it is unlockable by the way), root and flash the Google Play Store Nexus 6 factory image. "
[Nexus 6  General] HotInEER:
My Nexus 6 will be delivered tomorrow.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Has anyone confirmed that it has qi charging? Hopefully AT&T didn't disable it or change to PMA.
[Nexus 6  General] soulctcher:
Yes, they say that, but that's the first actual record of it. We need a valid confirmation from an XDA member here.
[Nexus 6  General] Plexicle:
I know the boot animation isn't that big of a deal, but that combined with the branding, it was too much. I am grossed out by it.

I just signed up for T-Mobile. I'll be refusing the packages that come tomorrow from AT&T.

Made sure to tell them why: https://twitter.com/alexpaluzzi/status/535252621553332224
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
I don't think I can cave on 64gb. I am hoping ATT releases it eventually
[Nexus 6  General] SilkyJohnson:
Guys, it's a Nexus:

IT WILL BE UNLOCKABLE.
[Nexus 6  General] CraigP17:
Let me warn you... In most parts of the country... T-Mobile's witty and entertaining twitter comments are much better than their coverage lol.
[Nexus 6  General] Plexicle:
Hah, thanks for the warning. TMo works pretty good where I'm at. I test all the time with their $30 plan in my N5.

AT&T is actually awful in my house. I have to use a microcell.
[Nexus 6  General] clothednblack:
I hope I'm not the first person to try the unlock.. Tomorrow... Around 6:30 pm!
[Nexus 6  General] jhumps:
haha! wow!!!! the good news is its still the exact same phone from Google play you just have to get past the silly AT&T animation and logo

[Nexus 6  General] soulctcher:
You realize your post is circular, right? That link is just referring directly to the conversation in this very thread.

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

Yeah, well AT&T is AT&T. We already have confirmed they've plastered their logo everywhere, so what's stopping them from locking up the bootloader?
[Nexus 6  General] clothednblack:
Maybe it can't be unlocked, that would explain why nobody has posted any proof yet. Hint hint lol
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
While I'm certain it's unlockable, I just find it odd nobody in this thread that already has the phone has done so. Lol.
[Nexus 6  General] phab3k:
they be trolls
[Nexus 6  General] HCdroid:
Here's a short video I took. The AT&T boot up it's about 2-3 seconds long then it goes into the regular nexus boot up screen.

Boot up: http://youtu.be/S5hNkAtf0c0
[Nexus 6  General] jhumps:
yes i realize that just providing info that you can still unlock the bootloader speaking of which chainfire has the auto root for nexus 6 and twrp has a nexus 6 version now
[Nexus 6  General] soulctcher:
They would certainly post up stating that it is not unlockable if that was the case.
[Nexus 6  General] SilkyJohnson:
THIS.

The outrage would be of a rage android has never seen.
[Nexus 6  General] clothednblack:
And nobody wants to be the bad guy and post bad news or to be the person that says it failed and have hundreds of people quoting with a "are you sure you did it right?"

Unlocking it has been the big debate and now that it can be checked, not a word is mentioned. I find that very odd IMHO. Just sayin ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Sentrix27:
Good choice! Especially if you've tested with the $30 plan.

I switched to T-Mobile and service actually improved slightly, with data speeds doing so dramatically.
[Nexus 6  General] sfidelisrp:
That's just crazy. Not only did they brand it with this, the damn thing is only like 3 seconds. It's like they're screaming "HA HA, HA HA, HA HA" while waiving there d#*Ks in ours faces.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
Yes, let the conspiracy theories commence. Lol.

I'm pretty sure it was mentioned earlier in this thread that the build number is the exact same as the Google Play one, which just furthers me to believe that the only real difference is AT&T threw in their boot screen. Yeah it automatically downloads their bloat too but that can be removed.
[Nexus 6  General] AndroidUser00110001:
I recall reading something about Lollipop and/or the combination for new Play Store features would make it easier for carriers to do just this. Maybe AT&T is the test bed. I am not joking at a conspiracy theory, must have read it on android police, droid life or one of the other tech sites.

It's amazing how much bloat carriers put on. I got the G3 from AT&T and there was so much crap. Not just apps but building in carrierIQ at kernel level while no carrier did the same. Once we got recovery to flash ROMs I ported over a clean international version of G3 software and it was such a huge difference.

Would be best if all carriers did this so people did not have to go through so much to get a phone with the software it was intended for...
[Nexus 6  General] jt3:
^^^ This.

Don't you think that if they went to all the trouble to lock the bootloader down, they'd have made sure their bloatware couldn't be removed?
[Nexus 6  General] chronus719:
Android Police seems to have confirmed that the bootloader is still unlockable, though they don't provide a source.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...be-and-jingle-on-the-boot-screen-because-att/
[Nexus 6  General] sireniankyle:
getting mine friday. If i feel comfortable with the unlock method, I'll take the plunge.
[Nexus 6  General] str3tchb0y:
Anything else?

Aside from the stamp and the boot screen, any bloat? Anything else to mark it as AT&T in the software?

Sorry nevermind. I didn't read everything yet.
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
I don't know if you guys read any of the other threads in xda's other n6 forums but yesterday a guy tried to unlock his bootloader and bricked it. As of late last night he was begging for a stock Google n6 rom and nobody had one for him. Been working all day today and haven't had a chance to check back and see how he was doing.

[Nexus 6  General] str3tchb0y:

[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
Just read the thread where the guy bricked his n6 unlocking the boot loader. Three more guys did too. One of them managed to save his. The others are still struggling. They got hold hold of the stock rom they were looking for to save them and it isn't flashing right.

[Nexus 6  General] Plexicle:
Is this just AT&T?
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:

[Nexus 6  General] times_infinity:
Seems like user error. He even says in his post that he didn't enable OEM unlock in developer settings before trying to unlock the boot loader. As far as I can tell, enabling OEM unlock in developer settings is going to mandatory before running the command via fastboot or bad things are going to happen.
[Nexus 6  General] clothednblack:

[Nexus 6  General] marper123:
So today is the day for many of us. Unfortunately I am at work all day and I need to know is signature required with fedex? It does not say that it is in my tracking. As long as it's delivered today I will be making up an excuse to run home and get my device!!
[Nexus 6  General] clothednblack:
If the shipper didn't request a signature then it isn't required. This leaves it up to the FedEx driver if he/she feels comfortable leaving the package at your door. I just got off the phone with FedEx because I wanted to have it dropped off at my work since it passes by here on its way to my house, but they can't change the drop off point and said that a signature wasn't required by the shipper.
[Nexus 6  General] marper123:
Good to know!! My house is all by itself in the middle of nowhere so the driver should definitely feel comfortable leaving it and they leave other packages. In fact they leave my wife's medicine that costs $5000 per month without insurance. Not that anyone would steal some unknown medicine but it's kinda crazy to have a package with that much value out there.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Do you have a SIM from another carrier laying around? If so, would you be able to try it in the Nexus 6 and see if it asks you for an unlock code?
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
Can you post the order in which you completed the steps to get there?

I know that it is asking quite a bit... You do not want to be responsible for other people doing something to brick their device. So, if you don't want to post them here, can you maybe at least PM me? I would not hold you personally accountable for any of that.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] r34p3rex:
Thanks! Can't believe it took like 10 pages of people receiving their phone for someone to confirm the bootloader can be unlocked...XDA, I R DISAPPOINT
