Wahoo, at last! I have a dispatch email from CPW :D

64gb White, ordered within 2 hours of it being on their site (I forget the date/time).

Sent from my GT-I9505
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
GiffGaff use UK Mail. They do deliver on weekends but its not guaranteed your parcel will be one of them. As for returns, I'l be sending mine back to GiffGaff too. From everything I have read, they are pretty good with returns, as long as they receive it back within 14 days. They provide you with a free label to send the items back with, but a word of warning. They use the cheapest, non insured service available , and if it gets lost, you're the one responsible for it. If you can pay to send it either special delivery with cover via Royal Mail, or book a courier via Parcel2Parcel or Interparcel, do that. I know it costs more money, but it's a bit more peace of mind. They refund you within 5 days of receiving your handset back. You can also get a refund on the goodybag of you don't open or activate it.

I don't have that (just left it off for 30 mins to see).
[Nexus 6  General] snakeman65:
To be fair, I still haven't had anything in writing from them since the delivery by the 8th text, you never know, maybe the early preorders have been allocated differently and that's why the customer support staff can't see it and it will still turn up on Monday. Of course I've never seen a flying pig before but there's a first time for everything!!

N6 64gb MB ordered on the 18th for home delivery
[Nexus 6  General] Ady1976:
Lol after being told earlier tonight i wasn't going to be getting until the 30th I've just got a "We are going to be dispatching soon" email with a DPD tracking link, do CPW know what the other person is doing at all ?
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
Anyone else's s getting REALLY hot from normal usage? :/
[Nexus 6  General] Ayuxxi:
Just got my dispatch note from cpw. 32gb cloud white delivered to home.
[Nexus 6  General] nightmare911:
I received an email at 3pm saying my order is being dispatched soon than a couple hours later got a dpd reference number, than just got another email saying i'm getting the phone tomorrow. (just imagine an adult jumping like a little kid from joy :P)

p.s i ordered a 64GB Blue version (Yes just to push it in to those who haven't recieved any update from CPW)
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
Im beginning to think that because I am in Northern Ireland it might take longer to arrive to the stores which is why I don't have any text message yet :(
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I actually pushed a girl advisor on the free phone number to look and they can see the order status when you can customer services front line staff. She confirmed to me that my order status was at "picking" and confirmed the phone has been allocated to my order so I'd push them to check.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Its hot, but been a little more than normal usage for me so far.

I have found an issue with some apps though. There are several I have purchased that I can send to all my devices, but when I try to send them to my nexus, it wants me to buy them again. Anyone else have that? Apps wanting this are MX Player, Pointless game and Torque Pro.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
It really is unfair and without logic the way they've done the despatch but it's been a massive fail since the start. Really P's me off that people who ordered when I did haven't had anything. I'm hoping that the emails are being sent throughout the night so that those waiting get them.
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
Apps are fine with me, but I just burnt my stomach placing the phone screen down :/ its currently off, cooling down :/ but as you said, first days hardly fair usage
[Nexus 6  General] snakeman65:
Believe me i've had all 3 of the people i've spoken to today check the status and they all said it was delayed. The complaints guy couldn't understand at all why it wasn't picking or allocated. Guess i've just been really unlucky!

N6 64gb MB ordered from CPW on the 18th for home delivery
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Really does give you enough reason to kick up a fuss. I already have because of the lot of us being messed about. Still got my fingers crossed for you mate. Besides, despite me getting the email, on clicking on the link for DPD, it says no information, no collected or anything.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
I restarted the handset and it all seems fine now. One thig did change though. In the app store, my handset was just listed as Unspecified Motorola Nexus 6. Now its showing as an O2 Motorola Nexus 6.

Edit: Its now changed again to No Carrier Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] alitech:
Im pretty disappointed. I was purposely staying away from this thread as it was quite distressing. Came back for a quick peek only to find out that orders are being delivered!

I ordered 32GB White from CW on the 18th at 21:21 and was processed the next day.

According to the other people in the same situation, I should have received some sort notification that the order is being shipped
[Nexus 6  General] pnnorth:
The dispatch confirmation email does mention that - assuming you're referring to a CPW order:

'Orders requested to be delivered to a Carphone store in Northern Ireland can take up to 3 working days.'
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
Sometimes reboots are needed to fix things like that, I'm hoping mine will behave when I turn it back on aha
[Nexus 6  General] snakeman65:
I wouldnt worry about that, completely normal for tracking numbers not to work until the delivery has been scanned into a depot.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
The other impressive thing was charging time. When I received it, there was a bit of battery in it, but I used it until it died. It took less than an hour to fully charge. I just wish I could put the %age in the corner instead of a dumb icon without having to find an app.
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
Ah reading the email now I see what you mean!

*Orders to Northern Ireland can take up to 4 working days.

Yes its a CPW order, so the possibility is it could be a Wednesday, Thursday delivery for it. It is a bit of a shame as I am away on holiday next week, so I am hoping it will be waiting for me to pick up the following Monday.
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
Charging time has impressed me too, I ranit down to 9%, went and made a cuppa tea, and it was on 23% I was impressed
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Click the tracking link if you have one. You might be able to upgrade the delivery for Monday still.
[Nexus 6  General] snakeman65:
Maybe i'll wake up in the morning and it's all been a dream and my tracking email will be sat there waiting for me. Gotta keep the faith! :D

N6 64gb MB ordered from CPW on the 18th for home delivery
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
This is the email I got, Doesn't matter anyway I am flying out on Sunday!
[Nexus 6  General] pnnorth:
There's still a chance it may arrive on Monday if the package started it's journey this evening. With the Xmas workload I'm sure the couriers will be working around the clock all weekend.
[Nexus 6  General] andy_mk3:
Just checked my tracking info, good job really as I rang CPW after I ordered to change the delivery address. The very dopey guy I spoke to got the address wrong! Luckily I was able to select deliver to a neighbour and the address I wanted was on there. Fingers crossed for Monday!
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
Yep, unlocked and rooted

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

I think it's just the screen. Been a long time since I've used an amoled screen
[Nexus 6  General] joelyuk:
Just a random question....

Anyone who has had a phone dispatched via CPW and DPD, when you go to the DPD tracking site, does the delivery address have your house number showing at all?

Mine only seems to show the road address oddly... and strangely somehow CPW managed to miss the first letter off my first name too in the email (urgh, really?).

(You will need to enter the postcode and then may need to click on 'Update my details options' under the 'What can I do next?' option)

Or is it just DPD hiding it for security? :/

Edit: Sooo just read a few posts back, and used the 'deliver to my neighbour' option to actually select my house as the number still doesn't show. Might be worth others double checking? :/
[Nexus 6  General] akhan47:
Mine only shows street name too...

Any chance they will deliver it tomorrow?
[Nexus 6  General] meletios:
Sorry to quote myself, but anyone here knows whatbthe first bit means...does not look very good
[Nexus 6  General] andy_mk3:
I just got a confirmation email after selecting deliver to a neighbour, saying it will be delivered Monday.

Sent from my GT-I9505
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
lol.. seems like a little mistake. I wouldnt look too much into it since the part below is the exact same that i got and ive had my text msg/ email about dispatch.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
No - mine just says the name of the road. Oh this could be fun - there are 400 odd houses on my road. But the date has just changed to Saturday. :)
[Nexus 6  General] splendid2k:
I'm gonna say it's for security if everyone is the same. Maybe worth a call to DPD in the morning to check?
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Hopefully - but CPW now scares me.
[Nexus 6  General] splendid2k:
I know that would be quite the f**k up on CPW's part if line 1 of the address was trimmed! I'd like to think something at DPD would trigger an alert in such circumstances. Any has another DPD delivery recently could maybe confirm the truncated address?
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Yeah I had that to with the paid apps but I managed to get around that

Install parcel from play store make a backup (apps + data ) copy back up to usb (full parcel backup folder ) use root explorer to put backup folder on to Nexus 6 and batch restore all your apps

All the settings from your original will restore too

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

I've done the lot bootloader twrp rooted decryption kernel

It's a real beast
[Nexus 6  General] joelyuk:
I used the 'deliver to my neighbour' option just in case, either way the driver knows the correct address now!

I never got the initial DPD delivery email either, which looking at other DPD deliveries I've had do state the full address including post code - but as I never got this from CPW until I did the 'deliver to my neighbour' option I can't verify what it said for this CPW delivery :/

Also for anyone sending back a Giffgaff phone, have you come across the message when you select the reason for return:

Sounds like thats going to be hassle too now... sigh.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Yes I did get that. I thought it might be because it was only delivered today, so the system might not be too happy. I was going to try again tomorrow (or after midnight when the date changes)
[Nexus 6  General] joelyuk:
It's the 'model selection' bit that concerns me - I'll take a wild stab in the dark that they haven't setup their returns system with the Nexus 6 yet. I've opened a ticket with an agent now for help too.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Keep us updated on that. I have a feeling that may be having a lot of returns on these next week.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Told you people you'd get them Monday!
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
My screens got a slight red\pink tint to it. Will need to sort that out at some point.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Mines is alright but maybe down to the kernel I'm using
[Nexus 6  General] andy_mk3:
Just had another e-mail from CPW, this time with the house number included.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
I have just got an email through now from DPD confirming delivery tomorrow, and on that it has my name and house number. I guess it must be a security thing on the online tracking.
[Nexus 6  General] andy_mk3:
Tomorrow? Not fair :D
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
But you're wrong. Its arriving tomorrow :D

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------

Yeah - gone from none yesterday and having to wait until January, to having two by noon tomorrow. Crazy...
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
No one can pre order the phone right now, other than knowing the price in preparation, it doesn't matter.
[Nexus 6  General] mediaman123:
would it be cheaper to buy the phone in the US and ship it here.................I am hoping for around £450 for the GB, otherwise I will need to save another few weeks............:(
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
The 4G bands won't be compatible on the U.S version.

& you will end up paying a massive import tax when customs get it.
[Nexus 6  General] mediaman123:
I thought the device worked everywhere..............ill be honest I haven't looked into that side of it in detail........
[Nexus 6  General] Masteryates:
Yes, I'd really like to find this out. I found out the hard way with the Nexus 5, :o

Going to the states in december and getting tempted......:angel:
[Nexus 6  General] mediaman123:
Did you buy it stateside and then it didn't work here......?
[Nexus 6  General] floepie:
The US version misses only the 800 LTE band (band 20). The 1800 and 2600 bands are present. All 3G and of course all GSM bands are also there. It depends on which bands your provider mainly uses and your location as to whether you would miss band 800, but generally, 800 is used between cities.

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Not really true. It's entirely possible you could get away without that band, as the other two are simply present. You'd have to check with your provider and location of course just to make sure.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
As far as I know,

EE: Both bands will work (2/2)

O2: No bands will work (0/1)

Vodafone: 1 band will work (1/2)

Three: 1 band will work (1/2)

Sketchy to say the least & I wouldn't buy a phone without full compatibility.

Also, buying the phone from the states will indeed get a big import tax bill when it reaches customs. (Unless you get lucky)
[Nexus 6  General] Masteryates:
Everything worked fine execpt the 4G. Considering I paid around £80 less, it wasn't such a bad deal.
[Nexus 6  General] mediaman123:
Ill be looking for some future proofing considering it will be costing a lot and will be keeping it for a good few years...........so I will probably be looking to get a fully functional international device..........

currently my contract doesn't do 4G, and cant see myself wanting to pay more for it.........

they might include it for no charge later down the line...............I am with Virgin Mobile currently........
[Nexus 6  General] hospital349:
Carphone Warehouse have the Nexus 6 listed. You can now sign up for notifications, for availability: http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/news/coming-soon/nexus-6

'Expected November 2014', the website states. This is perhaps an indication that we won't have to wait until December to grab one, after all (as some sources have mentioned).

Fingers crossed. :good:
[Nexus 6  General] bigf00t:
It's been on the carphone warehouse site since the day it was announced. I remember because I signed up for the alerts.

I don't think that's any indication of any imminent launch unfortunately.
[Nexus 6  General] mediaman123:
Sweet, signed up..........

this is good for me as it will likely be here I will be buying it seeing as it will be contract free...........

i'm a grown man of 30 but feel like a 12 year old...........:)
[Nexus 6  General] oddbin:
34 here but exactly the same otherwise!
[Nexus 6  General] Perchy35:
Ditto! Couldn't bring myself to pre-order one plus today.

Nexus 6 release soon :)
[Nexus 6  General] EddyOS:
Another 30-something here (33), really trying to talk myself out of this as the OPO was 'too big' but this is just so nice anything else I buy just won't cut it...
[Nexus 6  General] Perchy35:
I have come to the decision. My phone is either on the side at home, car or desk at work, rarely in my pocket. I use it for everything but calling people majority of the time.

I am going to embrace the big screen!! Also as pleased about lollipop and having a nice big battery to last me the day which the n5 struggled with..
[Nexus 6  General] ricey1986:
Has anyone heard any more about the rumoured delay UK release
[Nexus 6  General] fleonard:
Nope but I found this one https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2462844?hl=en and doesn't look cool at all.
[Nexus 6  General] NexusHexus:
T the top it says "Here's where you can find devices available for purchase on Google Play today". The nexus 6 will be released in the UK (it's a major market, why miss it out). just because it isn't listed now, doesn't mean it will stay like this. On the 29th it may change. But to be fair they are keeping us in the dark
[Nexus 6  General] joelyuk:
Yeah I finally got the dispatch email with the house number on... poor driver might get even more confused now... delivery my neighbour which my house... d'oh lol!
[Nexus 6  General] terryknutkins:
Saturday Delivery Wooo Hooo!!

Been lurkin, since page 52 on this forum, reading the threads, I have phoned CPW twice this week and had different replies. Phoned today and was told I was on the picking list, but decided the answer was the usual run around. But the email says Saturday delivery, the order number tracks. All is good. Nexus 64Gb in white. Ordered 22/11

Now fingers crossed for no hurricanes, snow, light fingered operatives, delivery personnel that can't be bothered, crashes on the motorways etc.

If you get one in the next few days, enjoy it, it has been a ride!

Will we join the CPW magical misery tour again? Well who knows.

May be we will do this again in 12 months for a 64bit processor, but I suspect all the Nexus numbers are used up and next time its 'Silver' premium phones we will be looking at.

Now decisions, root straight away (usually do) or wait for 5.0.1?

May you Nexus always be shiny.
[Nexus 6  General] Phantom Shadow:
Spent 90 minutes on the phone today trying to talk to vodafone. After being passed around the 5th person was actually able to try and help me. Said there was no update to my order and when she tried to call the warehouse she came back to say they had closed and to call again tomorrow. Then when reading their forum someone said there are no staff in the warehouse until monday so I'm not sure calling tomorrow will help.

I ordered at 12:01 on 18th so should be right at the top of the list for dispatch yet I'm seeing a number of people on the vodafone forum with tracking updates to picking at warehouse and ready for delivery, while their system doesn't show any change to my order and I can't track online yet as it still says my details are invalid. Would be nice if I had at least had an email to say things were delayed. I have been promised all this week that I'd have my phone today. Except for my calling for updates I've literally heard nothing apart from the confirmation email, which itself says they'll contact me shortly. 2.5 weeks later and who knows what is happening.
[Nexus 6  General] Ayuxxi:
Enjoy your nexus 6 tomorrow to the ones with saturdaydelivery. Mine is set for Monday delivery, waited so long a few more days is alright.
[Nexus 6  General] seamus573:
I'm also in the Vodafone pile and I'm getting very frustrated here :mad: no change to my order all day; still says its being picked in the warehouse. I see a lot of people saying their details are invalid which seems pretty weird - I can see mine it just isn't very helpful - I mean how can the warehouse take all day to pick my order and it still hasn't been passed over to the delivery company!?!?! Ordered the 360 bundle on the 18th and I'm almost going to have paid a full months contract for a plan I can't even utilise yet!
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
So I'm wondering if the click and collect orders will be available Saturday? It says Products ordered and processed successfully before 5pm will be delivered the next day and will be available for pick up the following day"

So what that is saying it that the phone will be in the store but you can't pick it up until the next day? Wonder if they will allow us to take it on Saturday
[Nexus 6  General] Phantom Shadow:
I take it you are an existing customer upgrading? The tracking problem is either due to old customers being on the old system and new customers being on the new system, or I've also heard it's some sort of security measure where new customers can't track until it's been dispatched.

I was worried about others having their status update to picking meaning they might have been dispatched today while my order has apparently had no update, or that orders on the old system were being fulfilled first and not in order of order time.. If you've still had no update then maybe orders aren't actually going anywhere today. Doubt anything will happen over the weekend so I guess we have to wait until Monday now :(
[Nexus 6  General] seamus573:
Yeah I'm an existing customer and I assume I'm on their new system if my order tracking information works? Either way its not been in the slightest bit helpful and sounds like they really screwed up their migration to this new system.

I know it probably won't get me anywhere but I'm going to be on the online chat to vodafone tomorrow to see if they have a clue at what is going on.
[Nexus 6  General] stevie_boy:
I'm waiting on Vodafone too, and my order is at stage 2 where it's been at all day. I too ordered on the 18th at 12.00. Don't think they have stock yet which seems surprising as most others have theirs....

No rush for me now as I'm enjoying my Giff Gaff N6
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
They should ring you when it is there.
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
From what it says on their website and the email.. no.. they contact you the day after its there... I'm just wondering if we can get it when its in the store and not the day after like they say.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Trust me they call you when it is there if you've been checking, did with my Insurance replacement and it was not there the day before as I asked them to check the delivery for it myself, next morning I got a call.
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
Still no email for me so I guess people who pre-ordered after me or even some who only ordered a coupke days ago sewm to have jumped to the front of the waiting list which is great for them but poor management from cpw.
[Nexus 6  General] splendid2k:
When did you get the confirmation email, the one saying "Your order has been accepted and your item/s will be with you soon."?
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
I still really think its separate queues, some people are just lucky things lined up for them. What store would yours go to?
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
Got my Nexus 6 today finally from giffgaff, im very happy with the device and it feels alot thinner than my moto x for some reason, i love the size of the screen, it does go slightly pink when ultra low, but that doesnt bother me, its quite nice in a dark room.

Funny thing is now CPW seem to be shipping orders... which means i may get my 64gb white next week too lol... will chuck one on ebay.
