Haha, yea man. I know exactly where that is. I went to Elementary school in Whitestone for some reason, then PS 22 after that, went to a different school for JHS. Small world huh?

Oh dude, the gangs were all over the place. Not sure how old you are, but it was crazy in the 80's. Every ethnicity had their own rival gangs, just so many different groups of people.

Even the metal heads were getting down!

Edit: I see you said late 80s, so I'm assuming you're in your mid 20s or so. Yea man, fun times. It seems like everyone starts off in Flushing and either moves to Bayside or L.I. We actually also moved out to L.I. though we still have our home in Bayside, hence I am there half the week for the most part.

I'm looking forward to some random day in the near or far future. I'll let T-Mobile decide my fate. [emoji1]

[Nexus 6  General] Alix8821:
They only carry the blue. No white until 2015, if at all
[Nexus 6  General] Android1126:
Yea man, anyone who got an order in, is just sheer luck, be it Play Store/Motorola/T-Mo. I still can't believe I have a blue 64GB arriving this Monday. I'll believe it when I see it, as a part of me is worried that they made some mistake/glitch in the system and are shipping me a 32GB, even though I paid the $750 for the 64GB, and my confirmation details confirm it.

I guess I am somewhat reassured by the one or two people in this thread that state they already received 64GB's from T-Mo. I guess we shall see.

Anyway, sometimes, it's better to let the smoke settle with new device releases. As we have seen many times in the past, if there is a bug or a faulty batch or whatever, it's the people who receive their devices in round 1 that have to deal with all of the RMA/Warranty/Returning/Cancellation hassles.

At least this is what I have been telling myself after waiting almost a month to finally purchase this d*mn phone. haha.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll have yours soon.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Mid 20's? Late 80's? Dude, I'm 38 hahaha I wish I was still in my mid-20's. But yea, I went to PS 21 in Flushing/Whitesone, then JHS 189 by your old place, then Franny Lew HS. We had fun on our block in Flushing back then, but I would never move back. The charm of Flushing is gone, no matter how much congealed blood we saw ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Android1126:
Haha, sorry miscalculation on my part. Yea, I'll be 35 on Wednesday. I still love Flushing though, I've traveled all over the world, and my father said it, and now I say it, there is no place in the world like New York City.

As much as I love seeing new places and learning about new cultures, NYC is truly a diverse melting pot. Living in NY you're exposed to so much, that nothing really shocks or surprises you.

My wife immigrated here a few years ago, and we were driving down the street in Manhattan, and she saw an elderly lady (looked like she was in her 60's or 70s judging by her pure white hair) walking down the street butt ass naked, and she nearly had a heart attack. She still to this day can't believe that she actually witnessed that.

Me I was like, huh what? Oh, haha yea. sure. It happens.

At the very least, the lady was probably in the gym everyday and had the body of a 30 yr old. My point being is that living in NYC, you see it all, and rarely does it shock. haha
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
You couldn't have said it better! And outsiders/tourists will never understand. I get nostalgic with the 7 line, especially the old Shea Stadium (yes, a Mets fan here lol). The old Main St, with Crazy Eddies, Busy Bee Mall, Dr Jays, The Wiz, Woolworths, Alexanders, etc etc

I don't know if you heard of Glove and Boots, but here is a funny "Tourist Tips" video for NYC

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LmPBPWHJu4
[Nexus 6  General] Android1126:
Haha, I still hop on the 7 train when the occasion calls for it!! Man, I feel you. I miss the good old days. My mom would always drag me to Woolworths and Alexanders. Wasn't there also a Bamburgers around? I know I was dragged there by my mother more times than I can remember, though I'm forgetting if that was the Douglaston location or elsewhere.

I remember when you could still get a slice of REAL pizza for .95 cents just about ANYWHERE. Now, you have to go to LI or one of the few old school pizza places in Queens or Brooklyn to get something halfway decent. Also maybe it was just my age and size, but I remember a regular slice being MUCH MUCH bigger than what it is today. Me personally, in Bayside/Flushing area, I still go to VIPizza on Bell Blvd.

If you've been there you'll notice a sign on the door that still reads "No Rollerblades" courtesy of yours truly. I used to Rollerblade around Bayside/Flushing every minute I had outside of school and sleep, and would roll through the pizza place everyday. When they built the new one, they took me to the side and said, hey, in the new place, you gotta wear your sneakers, no more rollerblades! haha.

Total nostalgia. Miss the good old days.

Haha, hilarious video BTW. That's totally a New Yorker's attitude. It's so funny how we are so protective of our city. You can never take NY out of a NYer.

I have some hipster cousins who grew up in other cities and decided to move to NY a few years ago. I find it hilarious when they talk about "their neighborhood" or just NY in general, as if they have ANY CLUE what NY really is.

People don't realize that even though Manhattan is the heart of NY, what makes NY, NY are the other boroughs., That's where NYers actually live. I think the number of transplants living in Manhattan is something like 70+% of the population. People want to move to NY and they assume that Manhattan is it. Now parts of Brooklyn are being taken over by wannabe NYer tourists as well.

[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
I was born in the 90s :p wasn't even around the 80s.

T-Mobile stores only carry 32GB Midnight Blue. No 64GB or Cloud White.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Wow V.I.Pizza. Now that brings back memories. I used to be all up and down Bell Blvd. The restaurants, the bars, and of course, the belly bombers at White Castle to wash it all down at 3AM]

I used to love Gloria's Pizza on Main St in Flushing. They were there for decades, but finally got pushed out, so they moved to Forest Hills.

How long you been in Bayside?

[Nexus 6  General] eruscool:
got one in chicago

got mine at the lincoln and irving park store in chicago. the manager was trading other inventory to other stores for nexus 6's. 32gb blue.

i decided not to pre order, that usually never goes as planned.
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
I'm 23 lol, not young at all
[Nexus 6  General] Circaflex:
mine should be here tomorrow or tuesday at my local tmobile, not bad for 12 bucks a month :)

[Nexus 6  General] V1ViD:
I'm hoping since I ordered the 32GB MB with overnight shipping, that I should have it before thanksgiving.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Wha?!? The heck you ain't. Don't be stupid like me. Don't settle down with someone at that age. I lost the best years of my life to my exwife lol the 20's are supposed to be the best
[Nexus 6  General] Jfree3000:
This guy knows.
[Nexus 6  General] Android1126:
Wow, lucky you! Wish I was still in my 20's!

Oh wow, I don't recall Gloria's Pizza specifically, but I'm sure I was there all the time if it was on Main ST. I do remember Hurricane Gloria though, remember that? Now that was serious.

I've been in Bayside for over 20 years. Corporal Kennedy St. Though we also have a home in Old Westbury, L.I. I'm back and forth quite a bit,

Are you in Whitestone or Bayside?

Yea man, I started partying a few years after you, and was in the city a lot, though Bell Blvd. was so convenient, it was basically at my front door. Ate more White Castle sliders than I could ever remember! Haha.

I'll def. check out Gloria's Pizza in Forest Hills whenever I'm out that way.

Haha, I got married at 31. Had pleeennnttttttyyyy of fun in my 20's!

Are you from Brooklyn Originally? What part of BK? I don't know Brooklyn nearly as well as I know Queens though I'm still out there here and there.

What kind of Development/Modding/Contributing do you do?

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Anyway, I'm excited, should be receiving mine tomorrow!
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
I am in Whitestone. I am not much of a city person. I used to hang out in the city when I was 19 with a GOOD fake id LOL Bell Blvd has always been my spot.

I thought you had your Nexus 6 already! You're gonna love it. And the T-Mo service is great in our area. Have you ever been to the T-Mo store on Northern Blvd by the 111 Precinct? I've never checked out that store yet.
[Nexus 6  General] Android1126:
I haven't been to that location yet. Did you receive yours already? Which one did you order?

Yea man, waiting impatiently for the UPS truck to drop that bad boy off.

Any recommendations on cases? Accessories?

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

I ordered the Spigen Ultra Hybrid as well an Ultra Crystal Screen Protector. The SP is out of stock, but my order status says it will ship on Monday. The case shouuulllddd be here by tomorrow with my phone.

Fingers crossed!
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
I received my phone last week, but I ordered via the Google Play Store. I was able to snag an order on the original preorder date. I ordered the Midnight Blue 64 gig.

I ordered the Neo Hybrid, which is a total ***** to get on, its so tight (thats what she said), but it looks real nice. I also ordered the Moko case and holster, its a really nice (but a little heavier-duty) case, for $1.95 shipped Amazon Prime.

I ordered the XtremeGuard screen protector and tempered glass protector. The tempered glass came shattered, and the plastic screen protector is cut way wrong (I didnt notice until after i started putting it on lol). I am still looking for a decent screen protector with the right cutouts.

The phone is big, the biggest phone I owned before this was the Nexus 5. But it feels premium to me. I think you will def like this phone, bro.
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
Yeah I'm from Brooklyn originally, I rather not say what part of Brooklyn on a public forum :p

I mainly do small little mods. See my signature, and I help around XDA with answering people's questions, getting them out of "boot loop" scenarios, reporting threads when they're in the wrong section.

I ordered the Ultra Hybrid myself, received it on Saturday. Quite a nice case, and there is only 1 film protector even though the website states otherwise. I went for the Metal Slate, looks amazing with the Midnight Blue.
[Nexus 6  General] AndrasLOHF:
Argh....I was iffy on the size and a local store finally got a demo unit in. Definitely want it after fiddling with one but the 64gb are out of stock.. Me sad.:(
[Nexus 6  General] Android1126:
I hear ya man. Better safe than sorry!

Though I would feel quite special if someone started looking for a person "named" Android1126 all around my neighborhood!! Haha j/p

Yea, I haven't received either my case or phone yet, though I trust Spigen products and am sure it's going to work out great. Did you pick up a 32GB in store, or did you get a 64 via TMo.com?

Any tips/tricks?

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

P.S. How do you disable encryption on the N6? Is there an option, or is there a near stock build with it already disabled that I would have to flash?
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Where were you when I was a newbie and noone helped me on here? LOL

Spigen makes some nice cases, but if Otterbox stops boycotting the Nexus line, I'd make it rain with dollars for a Commuter case and holster.
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
Ordered it online overnight shipping, received it the next day, 32GB midnight blue.

My tip would be to unlock the bootloader asap, so that way if you do tinker with your device you won't lose any data/etc.

You disable it by flashing a kernel that doesn't force encryption. See http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/disable-forced-encryption-gain-root-t2946715 for the full details
[Nexus 6  General] Android1126:
Oh you like the Otterbox cases huh? Good stuff, solid for sure. I actually have a microfiber pouch that I stuff my phone into, so I need something fairly thin. Also, I have my work phone (iPhone 5S) which I stuff into the same pouch. Sucks carrying two phones, but what're ya' gonna do?!? Chose the iPhone since all my personal devices are Android.

Once they're in the pouch with their cases on, they're pretty safe.

Newbie? Man, you've been a member since 2007, I didn't even hear of this site until 2010. Prior to that I was going to random sites and just researching and playing with the SDK and tools. I am fairly comfortable working with the RHEL (Linux) command shell, as well as other flavors/distributions, so I kind of just tinkered around a lot. This site is great, it has truly attracted some really talented kids.

My first "smart" phone was the G1, I never had a Palm or any other PDA prior to it so it was all new to me.

Ahh, that's right. I think I read that previously. Wasn't sure if it was just the kernel or another Build. Probably won't do it, but good to know. Thanks.

Nexus arriving in a few hours, working from home today, better get some Z's! Adios!
[Nexus 6  General] xxprodigyxx11:
I really hope these backorders get shipped out Monday. In the mean time, found the Verizon Nexus 6, you can barely notice the branding.
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
Hahaha

That's a good laugh at 3:30am eating frosted mini wheats.

[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
Should remove the Moto M and replace it with their hideous "4GLTE" logo to make it official!
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
I noticed on the normal order page with t-mobile, the 64 is available to order, it wasn't before. Hopefully that means they got some in and will proceed to ship them to backorders and new orders today.
[Nexus 6  General] caitsith810:
Let's hope they actually put us upgrade customers on priority this time around. Ordered mine around 12:20am PST on the 19th.
[Nexus 6  General] Lucke:
seriously... they're starting to piss me off with the lack of knowledge about the whole situation... i'd venture to say it's very AT&T-ish of them to screw current customers in the name of getting new customers.

order went through at 12:00:20am PST on 11/19/14 and did was not put on backorder until other people's started shipping out. i don't even care about when i get the phone, but the complete and total lack of any civility in the order process is beyond pathetic.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
I still have a G1 somewhere in storage. I was lucky, that phone came out literally the week after my divorce, and we closed our family plan, so the G1 was my first post-divorce phone LOL
[Nexus 6  General] Prod1702:
this is from an Employee email today about the Nexus 6 64gb. Looks like anyone that orders is now better do it in store or you will be at the end of the line. Not sure how this may impact people who already ordered.

Edit: Also to add that in the system both the 32gb and 64gb are still backordered. yea I am going to be pissed off if this slows my 64gb order from the 19th
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
That shows right there they're prioritizing orders. Somebody needs to point this out to [MENTION=4504155]askd[/MENTION]es. He never responded to me.

G3
[Nexus 6  General] Ochosi:
well I am glad I ordered mine in store on the 19th looking at this email... god this is shady.
[Nexus 6  General] djj624:
Ordered my 64 GB at the store yesterday still haven't gotten a backorder or ready to be shipped email.
[Nexus 6  General] verusevo:
Though I wound up having to order a second nexus in store via ship to(did normal upgrade instead of jump-grade) I don't see it being any different than doing it at home. The whole process the rep went through basically appeared as though she was on my tmobile account and ordered it online directly through my account in her browser. I just had to refuse my original order today so I wouldn't have two EIP on my account. My in store order was on Friday and still hasn't shipped.
[Nexus 6  General] caitsith810:
That's some real messed up stuff if that email is for new customer prioritization.....this really makes me wonder how long we upgrade customers would have to wait to get our units....

Did JUMP customers get any priority?
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
I'm a jump customer and still sit on backorder.
[Nexus 6  General] feedtheducks:
I was at a t-mobile store (21st and Maize) here in Wichita, KS and of they have not received any N6, except for the display model. The rep informed me that it would take longer to get the device if I ordered it in store or online. She informed that the best option is to call the store in the mornings to check if they received any N6 shipments. Can anyone tell me if she is telling the truth or blowing smoke?
[Nexus 6  General] Prod1702:
she may not know about that email. I am a RSA as well and I just keep up with stuff a bit more then most RSA's.
[Nexus 6  General] bigkevbosky:
I guess? But I ordered in store and had my 32 gb N6 in 2 business days. So, your choice really, but they probably want you to keep coming into the store so they can get credit for the sale and try to sell you cases and stuff too.
[Nexus 6  General] ChronoShot:
I also live in Wichita, and I don't think any store in Kansas received a shipment yet.
[Nexus 6  General] V1ViD:
So what about the 32GB N6? Are those fine shipping wise?
[Nexus 6  General] feedtheducks:
If you had to order the N6, what would you do? Would you wait and keep checking or would you order in-store?

I'm not 100% sure, however, it seems people are receiving them if they ordered online or in-store. I just don't want to be waiting for a month get the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] V1ViD:
Well I ordered the 32GB online, so hopefully i'll be getting it soon. I called almost every store in Missouri and they all didn't have any in stock. I'm tempted to call again today to see if anyone has gotten anything.
[Nexus 6  General] Jerol7190:
Does anybody know when t-mobile will be getting there next line of shipments?
[Nexus 6  General] Prod1702:
I would order one but do it in store. Are you looking at jump or a normal upgrade. If it is jump you have to be kinda careful. It takes up to 72 hours to cancel a jump order. So if the store gets them you may not be able to get one before they are sold out. With how fast the 32gb ones are shipping right now just order one in store.

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

No one can tell you 100% for sure. Not even a T-mobile Care or instore rep. Other way would be to call the warehouse and ask but we do not have a number for them.
[Nexus 6  General] V1ViD:
So even the 32GB are getting priority in store? (Already ordered it online using Jump! so canceling wouldn't be worth it)
[Nexus 6  General] low.humidity:
explain to me why i need to walk into a store to pay cash for a 64 and the unlimited plan and not just go to the website. let's face it, the website is corporate income and the store may or may not be corporate income. in any event tmo probably clears more income on the website deal than any brick and mortar. i just do not get a store deal over a website deal. please explain it to me. add to that a chat i had today i was told that 64's are ready to ship. if that is not the case then tmo is continuing to screw the customer left and right.
[Nexus 6  General] joshua.justice:
I agree with both of these. I'm going to call around tomorrow and see. I don't think t Mobile would launch a phone and have like a third of their stores get some in. None in Indiana Ohio or Kentucky. Pretty sure there are some high traffic stores around here.
[Nexus 6  General] gooface:
Not sure if I should grab the 32GB in-store Wednesday or try my luck online with the 64GB....

If I get my online order in does that mean it will ship out this week? or does it just put me on a list that could take months?
[Nexus 6  General] skywalkr2:
This list sucks. Looks like I have no choice other than to upgrade online... my local store wont even get Demos.
[Nexus 6  General] Joshnor713:
T-mo said that online orders come in a day or so. But who knows, the situation might have changed now that inventory is so strained.
[Nexus 6  General] skywalkr2:
Why do I think they will have it working for new customers, but screw Jump again... Just like they totally hosed the iPhone 6plus launch.
[Nexus 6  General] dcrandon:
Thanks for this! Now I know which stores to go to on Wednesday. Wish I knew how many each were getting so I can increase my chances without them selling out! Any ideas?
[Nexus 6  General] pside15:
Well, there are 4 stores in the metro Atlanta area, within my driving range, that will have stock. Hopefully, they're won't be lines as I can't be there until about the time they open.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
I don't think carrier inventory will be strained. It's play store and Moto pre-order inventory that is strained, because the bulk of inventory has been reserved for the carriers.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
They have already said it was strained.
[Nexus 6  General] joshua.justice:
Maybe they posted this list so it would be leaked and non t mobile customers wouldn't come there.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
That would be nice, but I'm biased being a T-Mobile customer.
[Nexus 6  General] asianflavor:
My store is not on the list at all... wonder what that means. I do have a store rep calling me tomorrow to let me know what he's getting in, so fingers crossed.
[Nexus 6  General] hotleadsingerguy:
Not a single store in Ohio is getting any at launch LOL wtf is that?
[Nexus 6  General] Henrock11:
I checked the list and no store in new Jersey is supposed to be selling it. I called 2 stores today and they both said they were getting them in for sale on the 12th. A friend of mine is a supervisor in one of the 2 stores and he assured me his store will have it. I suggest calling a store near you to check if they are getting them in, especially if its in a high traffic area.
[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
The good news for me, is every store within 30 miles of me is getting it which is like 15 stores, problem i doubt any of em wants to sell the phone outright lol.
[Nexus 6  General] dcrandon:
huh? what?
[Nexus 6  General] Master Ramy:
Another Tmo employee here, but you guys alrdy covered the important stuff, just one thing to add: online ordering of 64gb is at 12:01 Pacific Time (wonder if that has any connection to the mainly-cali launch?)
[Nexus 6  General] mallman:
My store told me midnight eastern time lol. I'm on east cost.
[Nexus 6  General] BigRick10:
It will be PST
[Nexus 6  General] Joshnor713:
Alright, so here's a problem. If you're on prepaid, you cannot order at midnight. Because you cannot order a phone online without buying a plan with it, and the telesales phone service closes at 10pm. What to do!?
