Just as an FYI, you should be able to upgrade that 10GB plan to the 15GB plan for the same price you are currently paying right now.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Probably not. You'll have to pay your phone off so AT&T will give you the unlock code, or you'll have to buy it from a place like CellUnlocker.net
[Nexus 6  General] marper123:
I did this the other day and I am very happy to get 5gb of free extra data. Anyone who is on a 10gb plan should right away go and upgrade your plan for free.
[Nexus 6  General] moopile:
Mine just arrived!!!! I does have the AT&T logo on it. Gonna head to ATT store and swap some SIM's around. (I used an upgrade on another line + I don't have a nano-sim on the line I'm using.)
[Nexus 6  General] helioXverse:
Yeah, unless you buy it full retail from att, the simlock makes since. Calling them and explaining you are going overseas usually gets you a code for free though, but I haven't tried in a long while. Once you pay off the phone, or contract, they can't refuse the code as you own the device.

Mine is out for delivery
[Nexus 6  General] TJB27:
I recieved mine this morning, around 11:00am est. Love it so far, but i have 2 questions and will post pictures shortly. In the "ring diffuser" around the camera mine has a small hole? chip? in the top part of it...is this normal? when looking under a magnifying glass it looks chipped. Also where the nexus logo is it has this filmish stuff almost looks like grease from my fingers (tried to rub it off) but it was there when i pulled it from the box and it goes perfectly with the lettering. Any ideas what this is? Let me know!

Sorry just realized i clicked reply to this comment that has nothing to do with my question.
[Nexus 6  General] Wisefire:
Mine has been delivered, gonna grab it in a minute once I am out of class.
[Nexus 6  General] johnny grep:
The chip on the ring is a microphone, just like on the Moto X.
[Nexus 6  General] TJB27:
i wondered if that was it, but it looks and feels like it doesn't belong. but that's good then, thanks!

[Nexus 6  General] eep2378:
This was answered today like two pages back.
[Nexus 6  General] SamsungGalaxyStig:
Getting the unlock code is easy through ATT. Call customer service. Let them know you are "going on a business trip internationally" and will need to have the phone unlocked so you can use your phone "overseas". They will happy give you the unlock code and procedure to do so. :angel:
[Nexus 6  General] Hardcore73:
Mine had 2 day shipping on it and is expected to be here sometime tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
[Nexus 6  General] moopile:
Compared to my Note 3:

- slightly wider

- noticeably taller

- heavier

- more slippery (without cases).

- at max brightness - screen not as bright. Not as visible in direct sunlight.

All of these are very minor differences.
[Nexus 6  General] Hardcore73:
Mine is shipping USPS. Anyone else like that or is everyone's shipped FedEx?
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Not anymore. They won't give you the code unless the phone is paid for and you've had service for 60 days. And even then, they open up a case with an internal team who will email you the unlock code within 7 business days. The whole procedure changed about a year ago.

If you want the code immediately, your only real choice is to buy from a 3rd party.
[Nexus 6  General] dsmitty166:
Mines coming USPS. Not sure why some are one and others are another
[Nexus 6  General] Hardcore73:
Wish it was FedEx would have had it today. USPS is so slow. Do we have to be home to sign for it with USPS?
[Nexus 6  General] SamsungGalaxyStig:
I just made this call last week for my G3 which is on the Next Program. They will do it if you insist you are leaving on business. I unlocked both my G3 and my girlfriends Moto X - 2014. I know in some cases they can give a hard time but I was able to do this before on my G2 before I paid it off which was back in June. I'd say give it a try anyway.
[Nexus 6  General] iboj007:
Can anyone else confirm this? This is terrible if true. Can someone try a T-mobile SIM for instance?
[Nexus 6  General] alhadee12:
Do you know if it's unlocked to use on ornery networks?
[Nexus 6  General] clothednblack:
AT&T doesn't do a signature requested like Verizon does, so it's up to the delivery person but I'm sure it will fix into your mailbox.
[Nexus 6  General] Hardcore73:
Ok thank you. After I get it I will have to decide between the Note Edge and Nexus 6. Should be a great time to see what each can do. So far love the Edge but have always been in love with Nexus pure Android devices.

Can someone take a photo of the SIM unlock code prompt when you put a non-AT&T SIM in the device? I need it for a story on Android Police.
[Nexus 6  General] Jrockttu:
Yes, any cable, but must be a compatible plug, so the one that came with the N6. The Turbo Charging won't work with your wireless charger.

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

AT&T was able to get their notification tones on the phone somehow.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
The notification tones are most likely on the /oem partition, which is independent from the ROM. The /oem partition is something Google started doing on the Android One phones and it's on the Nexus 6 as well.
[Nexus 6  General] phab3k:
not happy about this though.
[Nexus 6  General] hollowlog:
Weird. I unlocked, rooted and installed TWRP before ever inserting my SIM card. I have none of the AT&T bloat or tones.
[Nexus 6  General] Affliction716:
Here is a pic of the SIM card unlock message. I have my AT&T business rep working on it now. I told them if they could provide me an unlock code that I would order more for some of my employees.

On another note the AT&T Deathstar on the back scrapes off without leaving a mark at all!!! Just take a knife or the edge of a credit card and lightly scrape over it. Disappears like it was never there!!
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Thank you very much! I'll credit you in the article.
[Nexus 6  General] ervin10:
I get my device tomorrow and I'm hoping I'm as lucky and get a debranded device. But if not does that Death Star look like it will be able to come off, if not dbrand it is.

[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Would you also be able to provide me a screenshot showing the list of AT&T ringtones?
[Nexus 6  General] phab3k:
here is a screenshot.

also, flashing factory images did not remove the checking subscription status message when trying to turn on tethering.
[Nexus 6  General] SilkyJohnson:
Did you guys receive a nano SIM in the box, those that ordered from AT&T?

Just curious if I need to swing by the AT&T store tomorrow on my way home from work. Nexus 5 SIM won't work.
[Nexus 6  General] TJB27:
Theres one in the phone already.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Thank you very much. And yes, flashing factory images won't fix that because that's baked into the ROM. It's programmed so that if there's an AT&T SIM card, it's going to check subscription status. There's nothing you can do about that on the stock ROM without root. Flashing the factory images won't get rid of the AT&T ringtones either because those live on the /oem partition.
[Nexus 6  General] oak:
I'd like to know this too. My S4 sim isn't going to work.
[Nexus 6  General] phab3k:
yes, there is one in the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] RamOdin:
This worked extremely well for me - used both on Verizon micro and AT&T micro cards, making both nano.

This is in anticipation of trying both on N6 that arrives tomorrow evening.
[Nexus 6  General] torred:
I called the local AT&T corporate store and was told they don't have any and won't be selling it tomorrow.

Called couple retail AT&T places and got similar story....Usually corp stores sell first. One guy told me that they won't be selling N6 at all.....lol

SO does anyone have any info on store sell date???
[Nexus 6  General] hollowlog:
Like I stated earlier, I unlocked, rooted and installed TWRP before inserting my SIM card. Aside from the boot animation, my phone has none of the AT&T stuff on it. No ringtones, no bloatware. If it was baked into the ROM, you'd think I would still have that junk.
[Nexus 6  General] aeroboy1:
stores should have the units shipped out as soon as today but more likely tomorrow. but this is only att corp stores
[Nexus 6  General] torred:
Called 5 corporate stores around me and got the same answer. They don't have it and no info when they will get it.

Couple even put me on hold to look into it. No dice....maybe next week they said.

Usually they know couple days ahead. Not on this phone. Grrh
[Nexus 6  General] XtheBaker:
How's your tracking number looking? Mine has an estimated delivery date now.
[Nexus 6  General] dsmitty166:
Yeah it left Texas yesterday. ETA is tomorrow it says.
[Nexus 6  General] 413vzwh8r:
It arrived today! It actually got delivered 2 hours before I was out of work... LOOOONGG 2 hours!

Anyhow, being a new customer I needed to activate the device.

However, before I did this I didn't let it get in wifi, skipped setup, allow unlock.

I unlocked it, reboot, skip thru setup, installed TWRP, reboot, then activated my service.

To my surprise... none of the At&T crap has downloaded.

And yes the phone came with the sim inserted already.

So apparently the bloat isn't mandatory!

Just waiting on a more final root method to do that.

Also going to be getting rid of that damn deathstar animation.

I can live with the one on the back of the phone, but the boot animation and the loud ass jingle must go!
[Nexus 6  General] marper123:
Got my unit today. FedEx no signature required they left it at my garage. Once i saw it was delivered i made up excuse to leave work for an hour ran home and got it. Im really loving this phone so far. Definitely needs a skin because the finger prints on the back. ATT already had a nano sim in the tray i just had to eject it to activate it.

[Nexus 6  General] Plexicle:
Mine was very poorly handled before opening it. Just got home.

I immediately noticed smudges. I also didn't get the Android setup screen-- went straight to home screen when I booted the first time. Kind of pathetic.
[Nexus 6  General] purpl3rain:
Just got done the initial steps of successfully unlocking and rooting - AND no AT&T bloat.

No one really listed steps so here goes for anyone still hesitant.

Mine: 32gb AT&T Blue with logo on back and AT&T boot animation.

Prep:

1. Download ADB fastboot and drivers in one installer about 9mb here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

2. Install it.

3. Download Chain fire root for shamu here and unzip: http://download.chainfire.eu/628/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-shamu-shamu-nexus6.zip

Actual phone steps I took:

1. Took phone out of the box and REMOVE sim if there is one.

2. Hold "Volume Down" button first, then hold power button. It will almost instantly go into bootloader.

3. Plug usb from computer into phone.

4. Run a command prompt. Type "fastboot devices" (without quotes)to make sure your phone shows up. It'll be an odd mix of numbers and letters. Just make sure something shows up that isn't an error. If your phone isn't recognize, I'm not sure where to go after this, but do not continue to next step.

5. If your phone is recognize, type "fastboot oem unlock" (without quotes). It should start the process.

6. Now look at your phone screen, it will ask if you would like to unlock, YES should be highlighted and press THE POWER BUTTON to confirm.

7. Go back to your command prompt once unlocking is finished and type "fastboot reboot" (without quotes).

8. Phone will erase and do its thing.

9. Skip all steps of the initial set up.

10. Unplug USB, hold power button and turn off phone. You can watch steps 10-14 via this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGd_Zs5DKOM&app=desktop

11. Hold volume down button, then hold power button to go back into boot loader.

12. Plug USB into phone and computer.

13. Run "root-windows.bat" from chainfire root zip.

14. Let it boot into the system os.

15. Once you're in, INSERT SIM. And for me, no bloat was downloaded.

16. Do your thing.

I'm not responsible for any bricked phones.
[Nexus 6  General] sfidelisrp:
Yeah, I had the same issue with the smudges. Mine are imprinted in the dame plastic though. Some scratches too. I did manage to get that dame death star off though.

i agree! i love mine so far, few reasons i miss my cough cough touchwiz cough cough...mainly the home button and LED flashing when i get a notification but these are things i will get over. Loving the nexus 6 :victory:
[Nexus 6  General] purpl3rain:
That's crappy man. But let's face it, Moto and Goog were probably laying down the hammer to get things done, and we're all humans after all. The person handling your phone probably just lost focused.

You got your phone, as many people probably haven't, or can't afford it. The wait is over. :good:

[Nexus 6  General] Plexicle:
Appreciate your optimism but there no excuse for it. It's an expensive phone. You can't write that off as "oh well, at least you have one." That's a slippery slope.

[Nexus 6  General] MWilkenson:
So the att version does come with the turbo charger right?
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Yes. But in order to use it, you have to use the Motorola charging brick that comes with it and (I believe) the USB cable that comes with it as well.
[Nexus 6  General] hashlikeageek:

Where's his store?
[Nexus 6  General] h0bnail:
Is everyone activated yet? I'm still waiting after 4 hours.
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
Okay, first of all, thanks!

Second, HOLY JESUS that unlock was nerve racking. The little android with his belly open and his space guts spinning around lasted FOREVER! HAHA. In reality it was all of 3 minutes, but they were the longest 3 minutes I've had in a LONG time. HAHA.

Now, if only I can make that STUPID ATT boot not happen I'll be great!

[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Yes. AT&T is only selling the 32 GB ones. If you want a 64 GB, you have to buy it from Motorola or Google Play. No carrier is selling them that I know of.

Also can confirm that going through setup without SIM didn't install any of the bloat.

[Nexus 6  General] TMYINC:
Maybe someone can confirm this for me. Had someone today activate there device. Sim in when booted up the first time after activation. Did not choose a WiFi network...instead just used 4G. No bloat was installed. Wondering if this is standard or just a fluke.

Hello att nexus 6 brethren...

Received my n6 at 5 its now 728. Managed to unlock boot loader activate phone transfer data from my moto x 2013 and type this from my n6. What a piece of gorgeous this marvelous beast is.
[Nexus 6  General] crypt0kiddie:
Well damnit all to hell! I've spent the last MONTH researching what phone I wanted and now the Nexus 6 as me rethinking everything.

I'm on ATT and I can not afford to buy my phone outright from the Google Play Store so it will either be a 2-year or Next.

I wanted the Note 4 but the fact it may never get custom roms and root is unknown for ATT now too, I was thinking of going S5 instead.

The Nexus 6 might be the ticket. My only gripe is NO SD card slot. I have 128gb card just sitting. Also battery is not removable. I have 3 batteries for my S3. I know I could get an external battery but I prefer just popping in a new battery and I will definitely kill a battery in 2 years to the point I WANT a new one.

Anyway I might just give the Nexus 6 a try even with all of that said. Looks like it might be a good compromise between the Note 4 having a locked bootloader and the S5....

HRMMMM.....
[Nexus 6  General] aznalan15:
Would that effect getting OTA updates?
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Only if there was an OTA that tried to patch /oem.
[Nexus 6  General] ncraigtrn:
From past experience how likely is that?
[Nexus 6  General] aznalan15:
Mmm not sure what that means.

So if google released an OTA and I unlocked bootloader, rooted, and deleted the boot animation, would i be able to get the next Google OTA?
[Nexus 6  General] bodosom:
It could but you don't have to remove it so it's trivial to revert the change. Just as it's trivial to make the change. The "returning to stock to get OTA" thread is probably where you want to start.
[Nexus 6  General] purpl3rain:
The size could be a bit to handle. But if you're coming from a 5"+ screen size (I had an S4), then you should be ok. Once you have this thing in your hand, you'll get know whether it's for you. You must see it in person. It's a hell of a phone.
[Nexus 6  General] wfujay:
