These are not refurbished devices. This the quality of Motorola Products. I went through 5 replacements to get 1 good one but it never happened. 2 had back popping - battery issue, 1 had screen burn in issue, 1 had charging issue and the other speaker crackle. Finally returned this cheap build phone and got a full refund and feel much happy though I have wasted a lot on the accessories. It has way too many issues to justify its 44k price tag. Never ever buying Motorola again and won't recommend it to anyone.

How many of you have rooted your phone? What were your reasons for rooting?
[Nexus 6  General] rakz992:
Which color was it ? Midnight blue or cloud white ?
[Nexus 6  General] abhikul:
Is this a refurb too? The box was dirty and was scraped from one side. However the device seems to be working fine. Should i get it replaced? What should i do to get a full refund?m.imgur.com/aMOYeTY,cdHJVGp

Nebdy here coming from Note 4??? How would u rate the device compared to Note 4???
[Nexus 6  General] koolcoolkg:
As far as Vanilla Android is considered;currently there is no comparison to N6.
[Nexus 6  General] blueren:
I already own a US play store N6, which I would like to ship back owing to back cover bulge issues. I'm planning to order one off flipkart now. How are the phones bought from FK? Do a majority of them also face the infamous back cover issue? The last few pages seem to suggest so.
[Nexus 6  General] rohit3221:
I won't say majority...but yeah I've seen some guys around here who had bulge in FK N6...

Whereas me and my brother have been using the device for the past month...Both of us haven't seen any major issues..

I guess its all about luck..
[Nexus 6  General] Bhargava Aithal:
The replacement or refund for faulty back panel is only for phones bought within the last 30 days or its applicable even after 30 days of purchase?
[Nexus 6  General] blueren:
I'd like to know too. Can chat with the online moto customer care.
[Nexus 6  General] digesh9870:
I used Nexus 6 for about a week. All that time I was on wifi and never turned on mobile data. I had turned on mobile data (I had a 2G data plan) only few days back and thereafter, I noticed random shut down of the device. I had to manually turn on the device. To provide more details, I had locked my sim with a pin, if that matters. Since I had a 2g data plan, I changed the preferred data network from lte to 3g and then to 2g, but even after that I noticed random shut down. Since I thought there might be some network related issue, I switched on the aeroplane mode (with mobile data on prior to turning on aeroplane mode) and immediately the device powered off by itself. When I switched it on again, it powered off one more time when I was at the sim unlock screen (since I had set up a sim lock pin). After that, I booted my device and disabled sim lock, but even after that, I noticed a random shut down. Then I changed my preferred data type to lte(since it's recommended). I also noticed that when the shut down occurred, the device was relatively hot than the temperature at normal usage. Out of the total 7 to 8 shut downs, 2 to 3 shut downs occurred when I was playing a game (Crazy Taxi). These shut downs occurred after switching on the mobile data.

I did a factory reset and then updated to 5.0.1, then used as it is for about a week with only 2 to 3 third party apps installed. I faced no random shut downs during this period. Thereafter I installed all my apps (around 160) and suddenly the device turned little hot and it turned off. Therefore,the issue has got something to do with RAM management/memory leaks as it can not handle very heavy usage. I can thus say that it is a software bug and maybe google will fix it with a software update. However,I did not expect such issues with such a high end device,therefore, I returned the device and got the refund.

For a highly priced device like nexus 6,we expect a bug-free device. It's not just the specs under the hood that makes a device better. You need your hardware and software in sync to work flawlessly. Moreover, it is just an ordinary android device. With such a huge screen,we at-least expect some multi tasking features. Just one advice to all users - If you are a moderate to heavy user,this device may not be for you unless the bugs are fixed,else it is a great device. Instead,spend few more bucks and get note 4.
[Nexus 6  General] digesh9870:
If you want refund, start emailing flipkart with detailed description of your issues and ask them for refund. They will have to refund you since nexus 6 is out of stock. But once the stock is up again, they will press you for replacement than to refund. As long as they are out of stock, they will have to refund you.
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
I think this was for you Frnd. Cause I have been using 2g all the time over a month and still now never faced reboot issue as u mentioned above. I agree memory leak is there in lollipop ROM ,but u must also understand if note 4 gets lollipop update then same heating and battery drain issue occur there also. So for solution restart your device once a week and clear/kill apps if you finished using them. I have tons of games and few big ones and it's running smoothly. This happens even to pc also if you don't maintain it. u need to maintain your phone. Only then it will be smooth. This apply even to note 4 in future if u plan to buy one.:)
[Nexus 6  General] digesh9870:
Hi, thanks for your suggestions. I am sorry as I forgot to mention that even though I factory reset my device and thereafter was on wifi, I faced random shutdowns ( not reboots). I never keep any apps running in background (always close the apps using back button and not the home button). And at times, the shutdowns occurred even though I was just browsing through my app drawer or was just checking my notifications. There have been number of users who have issue of random reboots as posted in various forums, including Google forums. However, some of them have reported that flashing a custom kernel solves the issue. Had there been any issue in lollipop , all other devices running lollipop should have been affected, but that's not the case here. I am currently using rooted galaxy grand i9082 running unofficial cm 12 and never faced any shutdowns. Though you might be lucky enough to get a good nexus 6 without any issues. I ordered my nexus as soon as the pre orders first started in India and received it on 18 December (might be the first batch would have been defective...). So I am sure it's a software bug particularly in nexus 6 causing the issue. Anyways, enjoy your nexus buddy.
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
Thanks mate, am enjoying nexus experience with this . by the way I ordered on 21st Nov and got it on Dec 26. 64gb cw. Also I read in news that many devices also experiencing memory leak in lollipop and its a known issue . if u hit recents button and see system running all the time even after you swipe it off. That means leak has started . u need to reboot the device immediately. Read this somewhere in one of the threads . google has recognized this and is trying to fixing 5.1 so hopefully will get better. And u could be right too . maybe u received a faulty one . but still wait till u get an update to 5.1 then decide.:beer: cheers
[Nexus 6  General] digesh9870:
Yup mate, I am gonna wait till s6 release and I am sure Google will fix it. The only reason I bought my first nexus (N6)was to experience a pure google experience and move away from Note 3 because of touchwiz. I only enjoy multi tasking features of samsung and that could be done once nexus is rooted. But this software bug annoyed me. Now am happy with lollipop on mid range galaxy grand. ☺
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
If u need Google purely then stay with stock in nexus . Amy be u could root as I did . and have some control over device . by the way did u decrypt ur device???

We have a group in whatsapp. Pm me ur number so we can chat freely in that group
[Nexus 6  General] digesh9870:
Nope, I didn't decrypt the device as I didn't find any lag or performance issues. However various reviews and reports showed drastic performance improvement after decrypting. Check your pm.

Hi Guys,

Anyone disabled encryption facing any issues?

Previously I had restart issues and shut down issues and battery bulge as well with my first and second (replacement) devices.

With my last replacement there hasn't been any till last week and I went ahead and rooted it and disabled encryption, and I had two continuous restarts yesterday as soon as I installed Dead Trigger 2 but none after that.

Do you guys think is it bcoz of the game? Should I uninstall it?
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
No issues here, it could be ROM issue, which ROM r u using ? Try euphoria its very stable with lots of feature
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
I haven't installed any custom ROM, still with stock only and that was the primary reason I bought nexus itself, but worried for the last two days due to that issue.

Also regarding that custom ROM, is euphoria really good when compared to stock, is there any notable features, any info, or link to the thread are welcome.
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
Check its thread and nexus devices are meant for custom Roms which are feature rich and stable ... Just ensure u r unencrypted first before flashing any custom Roms
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
I have un-encrypted as soon as I've rooted mine, and guess that wont be a problem, but how do I take backup of all my app data, contacts, logs, etc.
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
Nandroid using twrp
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
r u going to flash a custom rom for the first time or u have done it earlier on some phone ? if u doing it for the first time then pls look at some guide in youtube and carefully do the procedure to avoid any issues in between
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
I have done once in my Moto G (crDroid) and I don't think flashing will be a problem, but I haven't taken nandroid backup before and more importantly I don't want to brick my nexus as this is my only daily driver now (Moto G wont accept my nano sim). That's why a small hesitation.
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
use twrp recovery and create a backup from inside it before flashing anything and if anything goes wrong go back to twrp and restore that backup

and as I suggested watch some youtube vids on flashing roms along with recovery flash and then once u understand everything go ahead

I am using euphoria rom and its very stable the latest one with lots of features which is not in stock....
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
What are the partitions to be selected in nandroid back up?

Is system partition needed?
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
Backup everything....system is needed to run os ...if u don't have it in backup, how will phone run on restore
[Nexus 6  General] deenadayalan_s:
Can we select only user data while restoring?
[Nexus 6  General] hasanu88:
Dude select everything. Make a back up . flash your ROM

Hello,

Did you people face any signal issues on nexus 6? I'm using Idea cellular network and my nexus shows no signal. I'm using 3G as preferred network as we don't have LTE . Any other setting i have to do for signal. I didn't root my phone yet
[Nexus 6  General] segag:
I'm having the same issue with my old N5 on Idea in Pune! This has started to happen post Lollipop update. Try switching the network to 2g and see if the signal comes back.. I have to keep switching back and forth a couple of times.. One solution i came across was to change the sim card. I plan to do it soon.. My other vodafone sim seems to work fine on both the N5 and N6. Still not sure if its a network related thing or a sim related issue. Idea internet sucks in pune. I have a feeling its something to do with the network

Is this normal?

can people download the CPU temperature app and check and revert back. it would be kind of you.

Hi,

Got the phone a couple of weeks ago. Had to get a replacement as the first one an uneven purple tinge with the bottom of the screen darker than the top.

Just saw this thread while looking for tempered glass screenguards.

Is there one with no halo effect?

PS - I got the spigen slimarmor (metalslate) case for it, looks really good and offers good enough protection.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Was about to post a message with a query on any QA defects and suggestions on protective cases. Hope I get a defect free handset.

I use a tempered glass protector made by Syska (the same guys who advertise LED bulbs on TV) on my Note 4 and may get one for the N6 as well. The protector is clear. But there are horizontal lines near the back and menu buttons..maybe a part of the design. It doesn't matter to me but may to you. So do check it out before you buy.

Does the Indian version support CDMA as well? Is there any way to have CDMA working on a Nexus 6 (whether international or Americas version)? Does it support EVDO data as well?
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
This a GSM phone as sold worldwide, It supports base GSM networks plus 3G (UMTS) and 4G (LTE - TDD, FDD) data bands.

It will not work on CDMA networks.
[Nexus 6  General] buggerman:
What about the version sold in the Americas?
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
You get the North America specific version, it's the XT1103 model
[Nexus 6  General] buggerman:
And that will work with my service provider (Reliance CDMA), given the fact that the Verizon version of M8 works with my CDMA RUIM/ SIM?
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
NA specific handsets are mostly only for use on that continent i.e. US/Canada and just may be Japan. Frequency bands are probably different from those in India. It's best you call your operator & get confirmed information.
[Nexus 6  General] buggerman:
LOL.. Have you ever tried speaking with Reliance Customer Care?
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Then maybe it's time you thought of changing your service provider ?
[Nexus 6  General] buggerman:
My original question still remains unanswered.. Is the USA version of Nexus 6 OMH?
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
OMH = open market handset? Well, that depends on network you're purchasing it from and if you specifically asked for an unlocked piece. Most phones in NA are SIM/network locked. Dude, you need to do a little homework on your own. There are too many variables.
[Nexus 6  General] buggerman:
The version available on the Play Store is NOT SIM locked. Please see this thread: LINK

Now, given the fact that Verizon is a CDMA network, and that its SIM is working in the Nexus 6, does that make it OMH? I did my homework and tried to find information but it seems that no one has really tried this or something.

Also, I get unlimited calls, unlimited high speed data (EVDO), 100 texts a day even while roaming, unlimited incoming+outgoing while on roaming at INR 824.00 a month. I have absolutely no intentions of changing my service provider.
[Nexus 6  General] Axathoth:
The replacement has been working fine and the screen does not show any defects (till now), so I am happy with that.

Tried searching for Syska Nexus 6 Tempered Glass protector, couldn't really get anything. Bought one from a local shop, but that had the halo problem. The halo does not for the most part affect the screen part of the glass but really annoys when the screen is turned off and I suspect would start accumulating dust and eventually make the whole thing come off.

If anyone has used a tg protector which covers only the display and not the bezels/has no halo, please recommend.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
I hope you get a definitive answer on that thread because this one is all about the GSM handset. It's not just the locked/unlocked bit that you need to be concerned about but the handset CDMA frequencies versus the ones used by Reliance CDMA.

If you purchased it from the Play store then it is OMH. If its from a network carrier shop then it MAY be locked. But like I said it's better you ask the point of purchase about the handset. Generally the price is an indicator. Full market price means the set is unlocked while substantially lower may mean a network lock. You can use the Google Play store price as a benchmark.

Yeah, I experienced Tata CDMA, Reliance GSM & Idea Cellular a long time back. Won't touch any of them with a 10 foot bargepole. :) I am now on Vodafone. No changing unless something drastic happens to their service quality.
[Nexus 6  General] buggerman:
Hmmm.. Interesting.. I will try to find someone who bought this from the Play Store, USA.

Reliance GSM sucks. But their CDMA network is superb. Their service and billing sucks but then I never really need it as my calls are unmetered. I had Vodafone earlier but in Rajasthan, GSM providers have many call drops and signal issues.. Hence the switch..
