I find it funny that giffgaff the supposedly smallest player has already shipped a device that should arrive today. If they had the 64gb model id order from them now, but I just can't do with 32gb I would fill it to easily, I've gotten used to 64gb on my current device.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
DONE AND DONE. cancelend and ordered from giffgaff, cheers for the heads up about the cheaper bag.

Prefer giffgaff already, least it has a proper members part.
[Nexus 6  General] marcadam:
My giffgaff order is on the delivery truck which is amazing when you consider the order wasn't placed until 7pm last night.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
No worries mate we're all here to help each other out because cpw won't lol

We should be proud owners of a Nexus 6 by tomorrow night :D:D:D
[Nexus 6  General] jamieidavies:
Made an order at 22:30 last night with giffgaff and dropped them a message to confirm.

They told me the phone is in stock and delivery will be expected Friday, I can get a dispatch email right up until tonight.

Also for those wondering, it took about 5 mins to cancel the Carphone order, they told me it was delayed until the 22nd on the phone and I ordered 32gb Mb so I don't know what to believe there!
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Yea would be amazing if i get it tomorrow! now just the wait for CPW to put that money back... :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
I'm just gonna slip my 3 sim in as i unlimited data at £15 a month
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
I have the same one!! :good::o... gotta run down to the three store to get a nano sim though.. maybe i should have prepared lol but i can do it on the day
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Yeah 3 to 5 working days but I suppose it's better than having to wait over a month for the phone

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

Yeah I got the 12 month one plan before they bumped up the price :)
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Gotta love that Unlimited data, cannot do without it now, even when i don't use all that much in a month its nice to not even have to worry.

PS whats your giffgaff order page showing under " status " ?
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Yeah I find myself using mobile data more than my Wi-Fi it seems just as fast and it's easier on the phone battery

Status is processing
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Ah cool, same as mine, yeah at my home i get 25 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up.. thats pretty awesome! Not to mention free 4G of course :)

Will update here if i get any more info regarding shipping etc
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Cheers mate most appreciated
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
Srcew it...just ordered from GiffGaff.

Quick question...f I don't activate the SIM will that automatically stop the repayments of the plan?
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Just got a text from CPW.

My Nexus 64 has been put back to the week commencing 15th December :(

Does anyone know, if I order from GiffGaff, is there a way to somehow connect a micro SD card? I appreciate it doesn't matter to some people, but I really do go through the space quite quickly (especially if the OS takes up a ton of space too).
[Nexus 6  General] mavronn:
When did you order?
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
I was wondering the same thing actually

Not really an elegant solution, you could use "on the go USB", which allows you to connect a USB stick and use it for things like movies , but as i said, its not very elegant.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Morning of 19th. I just phoned them up, I was told (not that it means a lot based on past experience) they do not expect stock of any variant until next week at the earliest.
[Nexus 6  General] fleonard:
Well will see. I ordered a 32gb on the 18th morning and I don't have any update text from them.
[Nexus 6  General] trashpants:
That's strange I haven't had that text....yet. The thing I got is a meenova micro dash, they are about $12 I think. Pretty nice and comes with key ring holder, it's not a permanent solution as you can't always keep it in, but have a look anyway.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
To be honest that might do me. I just need something work work stuff, but it's not data that is accessed very often - just as and when I need it. Its not an issue for me in the UK as I'll just access if via the cloud, it's more for when I go away as international roaming charges are still extortionate. £8 per Mb is crazy.

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

Thanks for that - it looks perfect. I did look at some OTG cables, but this looks a far better solution.
[Nexus 6  General] splendid2k:
Not good :(

What colour was it? Did you get the text saying DPD would be delivering on the 8th Dec?
[Nexus 6  General] Paneachy:
Damn I'm SO tempted to get my 32GB MB from GiffGaff if it means I'll get it tomorrow, rather than risk having my CPW order pushed back again.

Only thing holding me back now is the matter of insurance. Carphone's Geek Squad are expensive, but they've always been easy to deal with if I've ever had a problem. Does anybody know any good alternatives?
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Blue. I had the text about the date being moved to the 8th last week via DPD.

On another matter - does anyone know how much space is taken up by an album pinned from Play All Access Music?
[Nexus 6  General] alvintc:
No text here either (blue 64gb)...
[Nexus 6  General] splendid2k:
No text for me yet, although I did order on the 18th so who knows.

*Edit 64GB MB
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Here you go guys

[Nexus 6  General] j0nnymoe:
No Text from CPW here - Ordered 64GB Blue on 18th Nov
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
I've not had any messages either. Hope I don't end up with 2 now!
[Nexus 6  General] riz157:
Just sell one I'm sure plenty willing to buy.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Has anyone purchased from GiffGaff before? I'm thinking of ordering from them, and if the CPW actually arrives before xmas, just returning it.
[Nexus 6  General] snakeman65:
No text here either, ordered the 64Gb Blue on the 18th and got my acceptance email at 15:56 on the same day. You never know, they might be getting some stock so early people could get deliveries. Not looking like though!! Might be interesting to see the acceptance times for people with/without the text.
[Nexus 6  General] jamieidavies:
Ordered last night, sent an email and its time for delivery tomorrow - I used to be with Giffgaff and have purchased a phone from them before, its very efficient.

They only will show phones in stock - they don't do pre-orders, if they aren't in their warehouse, you can't order one.
[Nexus 6  General] splendid2k:

18 November 2014 at 19:25 for me, still no text yet.
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
Just out of interest does anyone have any good recommendation's on mobile phone insurance for the UK?

I get free cover with my bank account but I had to use it once before £50 excess and 2 weeks to get a replacement. I was thinking of getting something specifically for the nexus 6 but have not had any other experiences with other companies.
[Nexus 6  General] sjdean:
Ordered 64 Gig Blue from CPW on 19th November, Sim Free Off Contract. I have an order confirmation by email, but nothing else since. No texts, no dates, no nothing.
[Nexus 6  General] j0nnymoe:
I got my confirmation at 12:50pm on the 18th.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
You all might be in luck then. I was going to order on the 18th, but decided to wait to see if the play store got stock. It didn't so I ordered on morning of 19th. Kicking myself a little now.
[Nexus 6  General] monstermuffin20:
I couldn't decide what phone I wanted and ordered on the 1st... God knows when I'm going to get mine now :(
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
If anyone's looking for a 32GB giffgaff still say " in stock"
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
If it was ordered now, would it arrive on Saturday?
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Might even arrive on Friday, says next day delivery on orders before 4PM the previous day.
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
I am in Northern Ireland so it says that it could take up to 4 working days. I am off on Holiday all next week, so I might wait until the following week and if there is still no delivery from CPW on the 15th might cancel my order and get one from giffgaff

Then again, I might keep my order from CPW, get the 32gb from giffgaff and sell it when the 64gh white comes in! Choices, choices hmmm
[Nexus 6  General] TizzleStick:
Actually, the 15th doesn't sound too bad since the website now says the 22nd! :D

And as for external storage, you could go with http://meenova.com/ which would be $13 including world-wide shipping. Other options in this thread.
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
The 15th would be perfect for me for a pick up in store! No text message here yet but last time it was after 5pm
[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
Nothing from them to me so far saying this.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Give them a call if you want to check. If they still say the 8th to you, then I guess you'll be good to go. Problems is, it doesn't matter who you speak to, you always get a different story.
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
my Casemate case just popped through my letterbox. Even next to my Oneplus One, I'm surprised how wide this phone is.
[Nexus 6  General] iandpike:
Spoke to CPW with my order from 18th and will be delayed until the 15th for 64GB version. I've had no text, this was them just checking the status of my order.

32GB was still suppose to be still the 8th for early orders!

My purchased is complicated as my PAC code is going to expire before I get the new phone now... I'll have to get another PAC code from my current carrier to make it past the 15th, just in case it moves again.

Really love to know how the dates between Motorola/Google and carriers are so wrong.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Its cheaper to get it on contract from CPW than from O2, unless the £30 difference upfront is why they have phones and CPW don't lol
[Nexus 6  General] no friends:
Tesco stock came in at 12pm today for Tesco Mobile.

Just ordered at 1pm and apparently i'm the first to order one!

The lady on the phone did a stock check and said they're in stock and to expect delivery in 3 to 5 working days but in my experience they ship through DPD and are quicker than that.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Definitely in stock
[Nexus 6  General] marcadam:
I just got mine first impressions are great but the uneven yellow tint is hideous. I really hope a custom ROM/kernel can sort the screen colour.
[Nexus 6  General] bigf00t:
32gb only, I assume?

Nothing on their website.

And finally some confirmation that there are nexus 6's in this country. Congrats to those getting them today/tomorrow.
[Nexus 6  General] Daveoc64:
Looking at the GiffGaff page for the Nexus 6, I think that this JSON shows the current stock levels (11) and the threshold at which they start saying that they have low stock:

"blue":{"32":{"price":"499","sku":"GG1MOSHABN",[B]"stock":11,"threshold":10[/B],"isLoanAvailable":true,"minMonthlyPayment":2285,"minAPR":970,"payTerm":24,"initAmount":0}}}

... of course I could have got it totally wrong.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
That makes me feel better seeing as my order is still " processing"
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
Is there any info on the website? Cant see anything?
[Nexus 6  General] no friends:
It's listed under Motorola

http://shop.tescomobile.com/pay-monthly/mobile-phones/motorola/nexus+6?deal=18665
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Mine is at the same stage too but can take up to 24 hours ship still nothing to worry about

Should still be out for delivery tomorrow :D
[Nexus 6  General] __NBH__:
I just upgraded with O2 as the 32gb blue is now in stock, I flash a lot more ROMs, kernels and mods on my phone than I use spens, have 64gb of data or take photos so figured long term the nexus will suit my needs.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Then the first person to get one gets a Dud lol.

Fair play to o2 and their MVNOs tho.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
I just called and was told it's not even on their system yet, only the Nexus 7 tablet was showing. Their customer service must be just like CPW. I would rather get from Tesco as I can get clubcard points then.
[Nexus 6  General] no friends:
If you're already with them, then just phone 4422.

Also - http://shop.tescomobile.com/pay-monthly/mobile-phones/motorola/nexus+6?deal=18665

Also... the person I spoke to found the phone listed under Motorola
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Yes - sorry just seen this. Looks like it is only available on contract though.

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

Out of interest, how much storage space do you have after the O/S is accounted for?
[Nexus 6  General] joelyuk:
32gb is around 26gb free space according to several reviews.
[Nexus 6  General] j0nnymoe:
Well, Just phoned CPW and Guy on the phone said I would receive my Blue 64GB Nexus 6 on the 22nd Dec. Still haven't had no text and that information they gave me is probably useless..
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
So tempted to get a 32gb but sort of waiting for the 64gb in the hope that they'll fix whatever issues people are having with it. There must be some reason why its delayed, could be securing enough 64gb components, I've read that the ram and the memory are from different manufacturers and randomly paired in every device.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
And anyone even get an Email from O2 to say it was available now? So much for being kept in the loop lol
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
GOD DAMN IT!!!

Just got another text and got info over the phone. My 64Gb (ordered on 19th) is now not going to be dispatched before 30th December. Really don't know what to do now.

Edit: I've just cancelled it. I'll either try to pick one up somewhere else on the 15th, or just wait until after Christmas.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Dunno mate I found a link on an article i was reading a posted it a page or 2 back

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

I'd get one elsewhere mate
[Nexus 6  General] alvintc:
Still no text here... I'm guessing the demand was so high that anything after the gates opened on the 18th is getting pushed (hopefully)

[Nexus 6  General] trashpants:
I have a horrible feeling lots of us who ordered 64gb models on the 18th are going to be massively disappointed when 5/6 rolls around :(

edit: from CPW of course
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
I have just logged a complaint with CPW so will be interesting to see what they get back with.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Your money been taken btw?
[Nexus 6  General] mys3:
Just cancelled my play store order. I'm getting the phone free as my daughter is due an upgrade. She's keeping her iPhone 5s and I'm getting the nexus 6 on 02. Happy days!
[Nexus 6  General] snakeman65:
Not exactly free... Your daughter is paying for it by not getting a cheap sim-only contract as part of her upgrade! Still, she probably doesn't realize that.
[Nexus 6  General] mys3:
No, I'm paying for it! As I'm already paying the same on her contract now, I don't mind and it saves laying out £500 in one hit
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Trying to order from GiffGaff and they will only deliver to my billing address, and not work address.
[Nexus 6  General] joelyuk:
Completely caved in and ordered a 32gb MB from giffgaff, bah! :(

Still got a 64gb CW on order with CPW, and if theres signs of them actually being delivered next week (i.e. no text today or tomorrow... ordered on 20th Nov, but got text last week to say delivery was delayed until 8th, and nothing else since) I think I'll send the 32 MB back.

I talked myself into getting a white phone (never normally liked them and preferred darker) after the fingerprint fiasco, but I've bought dbrand skins and a case in the mean time and thought the £50 for an extra 32gb was worth it, but I'm using an LG G2 now with 16gb and manage to cope with it (albeit deleting photos and videos every couple of months which are backed up to Google paid storage)... so I've jut talked myself out of it again for the 32gb MB lol.
[Nexus 6  General] riz157:
I've just confirmed with o2 representative about unlocking pay as you go phone will be locked for 12 months. Anyone else aware of this?

I know on refresh you can unlock straightaway.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
I mean more that O2 wouldn't let you pre-order, you had to register to find out when they were coming. Then they arrive and no email to the people who have been waiting for weeks!
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
was yours the white or blue not had a text myself and I ordered after you did.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Yeah mate straight after ordering

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

I suppose it's better than the way cpw are going about it

But definitely not ideal mate
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
GiffGaff are unlocked aren't they? Because I'll be using my 3 sim
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
You can unlock through a 3rd party

I think what the rep was on about was unlocking through o2
[Nexus 6  General] Bilhouse:
With the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, O2 staff claimed they were locked but were actually SIM Free. My Nexus 4 worked with Orange and the Nexus 5 worked fine with an EE SIM. It could very well be the same with the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
All giffgaff phones are sim free mate
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHighLife:
I'd like to try and fix my battery issues by doing this:

1. Creating a backup of all my settings, apps AND

media

(so pics, vids, music etc) with Titanium Backup Pro or any other application that's able to do this.

2. Then wipe my whole phone, like it's fresh out of the box.

3. Install 38r OTA and then restore all my apps, data and settings.

Please someone, guide me in the right direction on how to do this. Thanks!!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Use Titanium to backup your apps, messages, settings, etc. Copy all of your important data (including the Titanium Backup folder) to your PC. Completely wipe your internal storage. Copy everything back (including the 38R ROM zip). Boot into TWRP and perform a full wipe (system/data/cache/dalvik cache), flash the ROM zip. Boot up, download Titanium, restore everything you backed up.

But, you realise that by doing this there's actually no point to doing it, right? If you're just going to replicate your previous setup by restoring everything with Titanium then you've undone the complete wipe you've just performed. I think all you should backup with Titanium is your user apps and your sms/mms. You'll need to set up your system settings again but that's probably the part that's going to rectify whatever battery issues you were having.

By the way, it's an outrageously hilarious coincidence that your username is TheHighLife and you posted your thread at exactly 4:20.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHighLife:
You thought that was a coincidence? I rarely post threads on timestamps other than 4:20 :)

Thanks for your reply! I'll make sure to follow your advice. So, I'll only backup my apps in titanium backup, correct? I don't care about losing my texts cause I rarely text and when I do it's not important enough to keep them anyway..

Why would I copy the 38r rom back? What I wanna do is going back to stock (25r), then OTA to 38r + restore my apps and media. I previously side loaded 38r cuz I couldn't wait for the OTA to roll out in my country, and it was a modified zip because I was rooted at the time.

Oh and where can I find my backed up apps with titanium? I saw a folder full of zip-like files but no apks..

Thanks again for helping me out :)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
If you go back to 25R you'll have to take several (four) OTA's to get to 38R again, you can definitely do it that way if you want to. It's just easier to flash the 38R ROM zip and it has exactly the same effect as taking all the OTA updates, without all the hassle.

Titanium doesn't backup your apps as apk files (they're archives), that's why there are no actual apk files when you look there. The location it backs up to is /sdcard/TitaniumBackup, it backs up your apps and their data in that location. So you must have Titanium installed once you're set up again in order to restore it all.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHighLife:
Aha, thank you for clearing that up. I'll flash the 38r package after going back to 25r instead of the OTA's then.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You don't even need to go back to 25R, just wipe the device and flash 38R, that's all you need to do.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHighLife:
Aight man, I hit the thanks button on all your posts! Bout to do it

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exothermic:
Just a sidenote, if you truly want to track down your battery issues: install BetterBatteryStats and read on all those guides/threads pertaining to it, it'll teach you how to address common wake-locks, and thus increase battery life. Ideally you'd want to revert to stock (factory-reset) and install apps one by one, until you find out the culprit or rule out certain apps. Use greenify to hibernate apps, to increase battery life, and set up tasker profiles to turn off wifi/data connections when screen's on and stuff. How you use your phone also affects battery life (high brightness would obviously drain more battery than mid/low brightness).

There's a plethora of reasons why your battery life might suck, so if you're still having issues after going stock post more information like how much battery life you get currently and such.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHighLife:
[MENTION=4153349]timmaaa[/MENTION] never mind, I was so tired I was trying to flash an update instead of the full ROM :p

[MENTION=5354456]Exothermic[/MENTION] I now have wakelock detector and battery monitor widget installed, I also got the greenify donation package but I'm unsure on how to properly use Greenify to my benefit. Would you suggest getting that app you mentioned or is the battery monitor app just fine? I'll take a look at the profiles, never had the chance to really look into them. The 1013 audiomix wakelock was constantly running before doing all this, i'll take a look if it's still there.

Thanks, both of you :)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Ahh, yeah I had a feeling that might have been the case.

Greenify is really easy to use, and it's extremely effective. All you need to do is greenify apps that have a habit of running in the background. I greenify a hell of a lot of apps (everything that isn't essential, anything that doesn't need to run unless I open it) because I have quite a few installed. Just use your common sense though, don't greenify the messaging app or you'll have trouble receiving messages, don't greenify the phone app for similar reasons, don't greenify anything that you want to get push notifications for.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHighLife:
Thanks for clearing that up, will def put Greenify to work then! Also is it true that after the process I went trough yesterday the 'new' ROM first has to settle a bit? Because my batt still isn't that great.
