Does the Nexus 6 have the same textured back as the Moto X 2014?

Soft to the touch kind of thing?

If not, what is it like?

Ta
[Nexus 6  General] Rox598:
got mine yesterday nice white one :D

Have to say it was weird seeing all the notification sounds being different even thought they all have the same name as all the other nexus devices....wonder why only the 6 has these? they're a lot easier on the ears.
[Nexus 6  General] Goku80:
just could be something different and they want to differentiate the new nexus from all other handsets
[Nexus 6  General] jaythenut:
Just fills like hard plastic to me :)
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
Just charging mine up & will have a play later.
[Nexus 6  General] hunhool:
Hi,

Is it better than Oneplus One? Apart from the amoled/2k display?

How about the size compare to OPO?

I wanted to see before buy it, but there is no display model at any stores in Nottingham....
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
I like it quite a lot, coming from a nexus 4.

[Nexus 6  General] danarama:
It's more powerful and more premium, with better specs all round.
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
Well I've finally joined the Nexus 6 club. Bought from the Google play store last week.

So now I have the N6 & a Note 4. I can argue with myself which is better :silly::silly:
[Nexus 6  General] kitecarl:
Has anyone bought their phone directly from Giffgaff? Their price for the 32GB has gone down to £479 and apparently shipping is free... I'm happy with my Nexus 5 for the most part (and have thought about waiting for the next Moto X variant because of this), but the Nexus 6 is tempting..
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
I did next day delivery is free better service than cpw

If you can handle the size of the nexus 6 I'd definitely recommend it
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
Well my N6 went belly up last night.

Shut down while using Flipboard, with a loud click & rebooted, after wich every app i tried to open shut down instantly.

Tried a reset, re flash of the Google image more than once but whn it gets to the choose your contry screen errors come up saying all kinds of services cannot start.

Contacted Google & a replacement is being sorted. Only had the unit 4 days :crying:
[Nexus 6  General] :
Have you reflashed the software on it?
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
Yeah. I used Google's Image for the N6. Made no difference.
[Nexus 6  General] :
That just plain odd, sorry about that [MENTION=313982]home[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
Yeah i know. Hopefully 2nd time lucky

Have you tried wugs nexus root toolkit that normally helps
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
How would it have helped?
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Download the latest version of wugs NRT it'll download all the files you need it's helped me out a couple times

No harm in trying is there?
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
Cheers for that.

I have a replacement coming tomorrow, so I'm gonna leave the other alone & return it
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
No worries mate

A lot of people on xda don't like toolkits but wugs NRT is the best one

Probably best not to Touch the phone if you're returning it
[Nexus 6  General] Goku80:
wugs yeah is the best one to be honest.....but if you are looking to ever to revert everything back to stock and start fresh flashing a stock image is always the best way.....and only reason why people do say NOT to use toolkits is cause they want you to learn how to do things manually which i think is good in a way cause you learn stuff as you do the rooting process..

so when you learn about flashing roms or kernels you get to know the ins and outs about how each phone works
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
Replacement turned up this morning, Nice one Google. It's on charge so will give it a spin later .

Hopefully this one will last longer than 3 days :eek:
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Yeah I understand about learning how to flash roms and kernels I've been doing it for years

But toolkits do help at times

I just enjoy tinkering with everything :)
[Nexus 6  General] ColdEmbrace:
Assuming both of you purchased this phone from Giffgaff to use on their network. Do you have working 4G? I have my Nexus, i've had in a month and am still waiting on GG to fix my 4G issue, they just keep apologising for the time it's taking. But they are less than forthcoming about what the actual issue is.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
No mate i bought the phone to use on the three network and definitely have no problems with 4g when in a 4g area
[Nexus 6  General] kitecarl:
Haven't bought mine yet - not flash for cash right now - but I intend to over the next two months if the chips fall right! Interesting what you say about 4G, as I have considered bumping up to the £15 goodybag to give 4G a go but based on what you are saying it might not be worth the change until GG can get their act together. Have to say, I'm a bit annoyed with them lately - for a large chunk of my trip into work (we're talking Zone 2 London on the London Overground near New Cross Gate - hardly the sticks) my 3g service pretty much totally craps out. I spend a fair amount of my commute along this rail corridor and I have no idea why their coverage in that particular area is so bad.

Also, interesting to hear that O2 (GG runs on their infrastructure) is soon to be purchased by the same conglomerate who owns Three. I see some big changes coming if that deal happens - even wonder if GG will continue to exist.
[Nexus 6  General] ColdEmbrace:
I became aware a little after noticing my lack opf 4G that there was an issue affected 1 in 1000 users with their 4G. I am well within a 4G zone about 100m from the nearest signal mast. I think I am just one of the unlucky few with persistant issues. But as I have no other phone with 4G that takes a nano sim, I have no way too test if it's my phone or GG that are the issue. Well lets hope the buyout is a good thing and GG still exist.

What's the best place to get the Nexus 6 64GB White asap? CPW have Reserve and Collect but all Out of Stock.
[Nexus 6  General] strikerdj2011:
just get it of cpw online get next day delivery its not like the n9 where there is loads of faults

[Nexus 6  General] kitecarl:
So I noticed the other day that Computer Exchange had an O2 "locked" Blue 64G Unicorn (which I think is funny since I don't think you can lock ANY Nexus 6 to a specific carrier if I'm understanding things correctly!) in A-condition (like new) at the £465 price point, which is the same price they list the O2 "locked" A grade 32GB version. I'm thining this was a typo on their site - there was only one listed in stock (in Stratford) so I wonder who the lucky chap/lady was. BTW if you look at their web site now (uk.webuy.com) they still have the same price listed although of course they are out of stock...

For anyone looking to pick up a 64 GB - this might be worth keeping your eyes on to see if any new stock comes along. I've bought phones from Computer Exchange befoer and never had any problems.
[Nexus 6  General] mediaman123:
Anyone sent back their N6 for warranty repair after rooting?
[Nexus 6  General] kornell0:
Beware of the SBE Repair Centre.

DO NOT send your Nexus 6 or possibly any other device to the SBE Repair Centre based in the Ashford, UK.

It is loads of bollocks.

I have managed to broken my screen in my Nexus 6 sadly. Fair enough, arranged the out of warranty repair with their authorised repair centre which is an SBE. After a weeks time received a quote of 139 pounds, paid that. Since then had no contact whatsoever. Now after nearly 3 weeks, they are still waiting for a replacement parts for my device and nothing is being done. They must be getting their parts from the Moon. I got fed up with them, and contacted Motorola yesterday which have investigated the case and ordered them to send my phone repaired ASAP or send a new device out to me. As it's weekend the repair centre is shut, If there is nothing done by them early next week, I will be contacting Motorola further.

Update:

Been contacted by the repair centre (SBE) which have told me that there are no parts for the Nexus 6 and will not repair my phone (?) which took them 4 weeks to realise. I am absolutely disgusted with their service. Now Motorola is arranging new Nexus 6 to be send out to me as a gesture that I had to wait so long.

[Nexus 6  General] grud1e:
got mine 64gb blue from cex in walsall as it was close to me £515 but i had more than that in vouchers :) was mint condition just bought in that day and had never been used

i buy phones from them all the time and have not had a problem ...well i did have 2 iPhone 6+ that got blocked but they refunded straight away as they didn't have replacements but on the whole over the years it has all been good
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
Is anybody here tried Motorola repair center in UK? are they any good specially for the nexus 6

Motorola won't offer me a replacement and I'm having heating problems with my nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] aussieland:
I am not sure if this helps but I have bought mine (64gb blue) from CPW but I have been using it on Giffgaff and I have no problems at all with the 4g. (I live in London zone 4)

Problems with Three UK

Yesterday morning i woke up and to my suprise my signal bar had a (!) it it but it was still displaying my regual signal level.

I switched my wifi of and i couldnt get a data connection just the (!) sign. I got my girlfreind to give me a ring and see if a

call would go through which it didnt it just said that i was unavalible. I then desided that a reboot might sort the problem

but when i my phone booted back up i was presented with the holow triangle signal icon to say that i had to signal. I then

popped my simacard out thinking it could have just been a bit of dust on it. I gave it a little bit of a dust of and popped it back

into my phone and i was given the same no signal and emergency calls only yet it was picking up that there was a simcard inserted.

The day before i had flashed the alpha version of PA so my next thought was that this would be a ROM bug and went ahead and

flashed chroma which i was using prior to PA and i had had no issues with. Held my fingers crossed as it booted up but much to my

dismay i was greated with the same no signal problem but i went into the settings and searched for networks. Three was one of

the network it had picke dup so i tryed to reconnect to it but i got the toast to tell me i couldnt connectto the network and to

try again later. I checked the APN settings and it had automatically grabbed threes APN from the sim card so at this stage i was

completly baffled by them problem.

My next move was to try my sim in my girlfreinds phone and what do you know it worked a charm. As a last shot to check everything

was okay and i was upto date on my bills etc i gave three a ring and they told me there was nothing wrong with my sim and everything

was working as it should be and that it was a problem with my phone.

That brings me to the point i am at now completly baffled as to the problem and slightly angry at the 2 week old phone that had been working

perfectly up until now has suddnely desided to stop with no warning.

So you are not the only one and i expect their are more of us. I am going to flash the offical stock rom from google and see if that does the

trick but im not holding up much hope i feel like im going to have to contact google and find out where the problem lies.
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
That (!) Sign means that the data (mobile internet or WiFi) isn't connected and is perfectly normal. I tried to flash PA onto my nexus 4 and 10 and had nothing but issues, my nexus 10 wouldn't even get past the google logo. I suggest flashing stock ROM and not telling google that you tried to flash any ROMs. Best of luck
[Nexus 6  General] GetScopedx:
i reverted back to complete stock using the image from there site to no luck so i relocked the bootloader and took it back to the carphonewarehouse and they straight swapped it for a new one which is working perfectly :)
[Nexus 6  General] kornell0:
Avoid

I advise against sending off your phone to the Motorola's repair centre which is SBE based in Ashford, whether is a warranty repair or out of warranty. If you see my previous post with the today's update you'll see why.
[Nexus 6  General] ricey1986:
Hi Guys, My phone appears to have lost it's "clicky" feel on the power button, I want to get it fixed/RMA'd.

However I got my phone through carphone warehouse, would I be better going through them or try and go through Motorola? I've heard horror stories of both.
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
go to CPW if they dont swap the device over with a new one or they say they are going to repair it, go to moto instead who should give you a new device talk to them on live chat and see if they will give you a new device
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
I hope we get some press release today about the rest of the world, it seems they have issues with the pre-orders in the US already.

Its a good job the rest of the world was not pre-ordering, possible second round on Friday for Europe so as not to overwhelm their systems ?
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
You would think google would open the pre orders on the day the device is announced and have the earliest despatch date 4 weeks after the device is launched.

It wouldn't be so bad if they took our money at the start of October and we get our devices in mid to late November

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
You would think that would have been the best way but I'm thinking all this points to issues with stock. If it helps Carphone Warehouse has a pre registration page but I can't put the link on here with being a "new member"
[Nexus 6  General] dannstarr:
I don't get it... Everyone said this thing was too big. So big they weren't going to buy it. I thought that come pre order day I could just take my time, look around the product pages and just ponder over all the available models.

But then, a device available to just one country sees it sell out within seconds, even though google themselves did nothing to tell everyone that the shop door was open. Amazing.
[Nexus 6  General] ricey1986:
I wonder if this is an issue with Motorola supplying, I can't think of any other reason Google would do a single country launch
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
well its gone 6PM here and no official announcement yet, no pre orders either i gues sill go make dinner and turn the internet on when something good happens.

I wonder if the US buyers where the guinea pigs for the Pro-Order and now we will get a proper pre-order system next week :D
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Handtec are stating 18th for orders in the UK.

U.S orders ain't even shipping till 21st Nov!

UK - we order on the 18th, and it ships for the 21st - exactly the same as the U.S. :)

Panic over. Lol
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Really.. really want you to be right lol
[Nexus 6  General] NexusHexus:
Well some people got it around 6PM or just before, only downside ism it wasn't the UK, They have decided not to do a worldwide release, I'm disappointed about this. Normally i'm patient but it is gradually eroding away esp with things like this.

If I just knew when it would be much better, I don't know if its a stock issue or what but surely doing a pre-order they can gauge the demand better and ship them out accordingly
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Did you pick that 18th date out your ass or do you have UK pre-order date info ?
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Hantec tweeted that date

Handtec don't really know when the device will be available... first they said 29th October, then 3rd November (http://blog.handtec.co.uk/coming-soon-google-nexus-6-32gb-midnight-blue-and-cloud-white/) and now they are saying 18th (https://twitter.com/handtec/status/527515908844298241).

[Nexus 6  General] DarknessWarrior:
So, once again, US is only what matters... and even with the huge screen and huge price the device is sold out within 30 mins...

This has to be some stock issues. Heck, Apple did a global launch of the iP6, sold 10mil in the first 24h and it didn't fail, I really doubt Google just sold 10mil N6 in the US alone.
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
I'm sorry i just got home from work and i just want a quick run down on whats happening with the UK store.. 30 something pages to read through is too much. Please. Thank you.
[Nexus 6  General] pnnorth:
Absolutely nothing, you've not missed a thing.
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
That sucks. So its just the US that's gotten it?
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
Nothing is happening in the UK play store. There is no price, no pre order, no concrete info on when we can pre order or when the device will reach the UK

However gizmodo have some hands on with the nexus 6 and some side by side shots of it next to a note 4 and an iPhone 6+

Spoiler alert! Nexus 6, note 4 and the iPhone 6+ are all pretty much the same footprint but have different screen sizes

Sure is if you can handle the size

Size isn't an issue, I'm a big guy ;)

Funnily enough I've only ever seen dummy phones in store, never a live one. Shame as I wanna see what the screen is really like

Just torn between getting one of going for the M9/S6 Edge. With my M8 now I keep swapping between Sense and stock Android but ultimately I do love a Nexus device...
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
I like

Both s6 edge and m9 but still prefer my n6

Quick question, and I'm sorry if its already been answered, but, to those of you who purchased one from Carphone Warehouse, with a contract from EE, is it sim locked?

Please confirm if you have this issue.

Click on google voice mic repeatedly, you will hear some pop sound. Also try changing different ring tones, there is some distorted sound. I got my handset replaced by carphone warehouse but still with another one I have same issues.

Have to say its my first nexus device having been on Samsung's for ages. Came from mega so this is a little smaller but so far its cracking phone.

Gadget Cover Insurance Nightmare

a few week back (7th March) I dropped my phone and, although I had a screen protector and a case, the screen cracked. Uggggghhh!!! First time that I've ever broken a screen, but nevermind, I have insurance.

I called the insurance company https://www.gadget-cover.com/ and registered my claim. The person who I spoke to said he'd call back within 30 minutes to process my claim... 2 hours later I was still waiting so I called them back again, only to be told they had no record of my call so I had to start all over again. I sent the phone off and waited for some communication to let me know what was happening. Nothing. After a week, i called them and the person I spoke with said that they would contact the engineer and would get back to me. Again I waited (started to feel a tad pi$$ed off) with no call back. I called the next day and was told that the phone was beyond economic repair and they would be sending me a new one the next day. Great News!!

The phone arrived as promised, a beautiful cloud grey Nexus 6 back in my possession! I spent the next few hours doing what you do... unlocked bootloader, root ect. I was just starting to put my songs on and I look at the memory and wtf??? it was only 20GB. They had sent me the wrong model!! Mine was a 64GB version (which had been put down!). AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!! Gutted!! I then phoned them back (even more pi$$ed off now) and they apologised and asked me to send them the phone back and they would send me the correct model. All of this takes time and with weekends involved, it started to approach the 2 week mark before I received another phone. I looked at the box and to my horror, they had now sent me the wrong colour (navy blue instead of cloud grey!). I was absolutely gutted! I call them back and had to go through the 'send the phone back blah blah blah.

That was a week ago.

After I returned the phone, I again heard nothing and had to phone up again, only to be told that the phone was now 'out of stock' and should be there in 3-5 days.

Today was day 6 and nothing, so again, I contact them only to be told that I should of been told that it was '7-10 days' and the phone 'should' be in stock by Friday.

I have been without a phone for over 3 weeks now.

Their excuse for the mistakes was 'human error'!!

I don't know if this is how all other company's work but this claim has been a nightmare (and isn't even over yet!)
[Nexus 6  General] wesley1966:
Any views on the best radio for EE? I'm running CM 12 nightlies and had zero issues with the phone. I bought the Ringke Max case but not sure it's a keeper because the silly extra loop to tag some string through. Looking forward to CM 12.1 which will be compatible with Elemental-X kernel I think.
[Nexus 6  General] Biohead:
So, after my N5 battery life has plummeted, I've caved. Hopefully pick it up next week! Looking forwar to it - umm'd and ahh'd over it's size but I figure I can always flog it on if it's too big for me. Just reading up on the encryption and whether it's worthwhile disabling it as soon as I get the handset.
