Went today to Best Buy Sprint AT&T and none of them had it on display. I went to the T-Mobile store on 1431 and 183 here Cedar park Texas and they did have the demo. They had to go get it from the back but the manager brought it for me to look at a play with it. I had my one plus one phone as well as my Note 3 to compare sizes against his Nexus six.

Both of my phones were just slightly smaller or thinner than the Nexus six but the difference is hardly noticeable. Specially at the top. Did not feel like it was going to slip out of my hand like people were saying because of the back, yes it's smooth but it's still had grip and in my case it won't matter as I will have it on the case.

Self-worth felt very smooth and the pixels for all the apps were beautiful to look at. I forgot to test how bright it was so when I go back next Wednesday I will give that a shot but it was pretty bright at the level that it was today. It felt very comfortable in my hand The whole time just like the one plus one and the note 3. They will have them for sale next Wednesday the 19th and I can buy it off contract full retail price of 649. That is my plan so I can go ahead and get it unlocked to use with straight talk. They're not able to do a pre-order or hold it for me on Wednesday. If I'm not able to get one on Wednesday that will be fine, as I have a Motorola already on pre-order and pay for that will be delivered by December 2.

That's all that I was able to get from my 10 minute holding the phone today, but I think it will be a solid buy since I should be able to get $300 for the one plus one and $300 for my note 3.

Ian B

The deal breaker is that Tmobile stated I need to stay w them 45 days when I pay full price Wednesday for them to give me unlocked code. I am not paying for unlocked code and will have to wait till motorola ships my order by 12/2. I am on Straight Talk ATT prepaid plan already paid through January 2015.
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:

[Nexus 6  General] itsjza:
Can you fill me in with the camera features?

How's the quality compared to Note 4? Is there slow-mo? Panorama? Etc.

The camera quality is now the only thing holding me back from purchasing the Nexus 6 on the day of its release. Lollipop is just magnificent but I was just so close to buying a Note 4 tonight.
[Nexus 6  General] Mr Ian B:
Explain please!

Tia,

Nexus 6 from T-Mobile isn't carrier locked. ?

[Nexus 6  General] Mr Ian B:
Oh, nice, so I can pay full price on Wednesday, take out the TMobile SIM card, put the Straight Talk sim and will work?? I would just need to call and cancel Tmobile plan??

The T-Mobile store in Marietta, GA has 3 of them that no one has reserved.

I got to play with the one that will become the demo unit.

Nothing new to add...

The metal trim certainly has a blueish tint to it that i don't personally care for. I am glad that I was able to snag a white model.

It felt awesome in hand.... lighter than i expected and felt well balanced. The feel and craftsmanship of this phone is light years ahead of the Note 4 IMO. I can't believe anyone would call this phone bulky... the way it tapers at the sides make it feel thinner than pretty much any phone I have used.

The screen looked amazing and seemed plenty bright (though I obviously didn't get to use it out in direct sunlight).

It was extremely fast... it felt faster and smoother than my nexus 5 w/ lollipop.

the speakers sounded great, and were louder than the iPhone 6+ that I was also playing with in the store.

I was wavering in my excitement after reading most of the reviews, but after getting some hands on time, I can not freaking wait to get mine!
[Nexus 6  General] bajasur:
[MENTION=2313936]suzook[/MENTION], please post some sort of proof you left with device..
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
As long as the trim is blue and not purple or even slightly purple I'll be OK with it.

G3
[Nexus 6  General] Mr Ian B:
@ G3, last question. If I buy Tmobile version will I have to wait longer for updates vs getting direct from Motorola?

Thanks for all your answers!

Ian B
[Nexus 6  General] El Daddy:
No. They are all the same phone and will get updates straight from Google.
[Nexus 6  General] jarjar124:
Wait.. you can reserve phones?
[Nexus 6  General] decke003:
At the location I visited, the employee said they had three in stock, none of them had been claimed, and that they would reserve me one if I wanted. I didn't ask what I had to do to reserve it, but yeah it would seem it is possible.
[Nexus 6  General] jcarlm:
When I saw the demo model of the blue it was not bad at all. It's nothing like what you see on the internet due to lighting. I don't think it looks that bad at all. But, I still really want the white and bought a clear case to show off the white. I will be patience and wait till motorola.com has stock and purchase from there.

I know this sounds weird but I'm going to get what I want cause I am the one who will be owning the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] tbird302:
Went to T-Mobile on court st in Brooklyn last night had display up had phone in hand but they could call it up on pos through jump. I even called before I went they said no problem. So 3hours lost I'm in jersey and $30 in tolls for no phone.

I don't know about 3 D's days early. But when I wanted an m8 on launch day only 1 store in Kansas city had one left by 3pm they held it for me for a few hrs.
[Nexus 6  General] EmperorX:
Apparently the T-Mobile store in Kirkland, WA (off of 124th) sold 4 of the phones yesterday. I went in today to pick mine up and they were no longer in the system. Fml. I knew I should have called yesterday! That said, I've got one with my name on it (literally) ready for Wed morning.

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

Also I used the demo phone for about 15 minutes. So solid. Can't wait to have one :)

My N5 took a nasty tumble on the bricks streets of Germany back in June... Got it replaced. Then, it broke at burning man in July (not sure what happened... It was in a car, unused for over a week. Extreme heat may have wrecked it.... I'm ready for another Nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] Joshnor713:
Are you serious!? I called them up on Friday and nothing. Damn it :mad:
[Nexus 6  General] EmperorX:
Yeah dude... I've been calling them for weeks. And, I was on "the list" 4 times. From 4 different people. Did they call me yesterday when they were selling it? No, no they didn't.

I called them today to see if they had any Demo units and they said "Yeah we've been selling it since yesterday!"

Then I drove all the way out there from Duvall and they couldn't sell then today as it was no longer in the system.

Blarghhhhhh!
[Nexus 6  General] Joshnor713:
That's awful, sorry to hear dude.
[Nexus 6  General] f1ip:
Just went to a Tmo store nearby and asked for the Nexus 6 demo, they have one and let me play with it.

The phone sure is quite nice to hold, large, but not heavy. At first I thought it was a non working demo with a fake screen, lol. I swiped around and it worked. I guess the screen brightness wasn't set right or that the background was too light.

I was told they will have plenty in stock for Wednesday.

This is at the 75149 zip code store.
[Nexus 6  General] jcarlm:
So what is T-Mobile pricing the nexus at?
[Nexus 6  General] BigRick10:
32GB is $649.92 and 64GB is $699.84
[Nexus 6  General] rockky:
Wow EVERYone wants the white one...
[Nexus 6  General] Joshnor713:
What's the pricing if buying it outright without a post-paid plan??
[Nexus 6  General] BigRick10:
If I remember correctly. Couple cents more. 649.99 and 699.99. Although will be hard for a T-Mobile store to sell you one for now. Like I've mentioned in other threads. Reps and the store don't make anything in selling you the device that way. Most will save them for current customers or customers opening new service.
[Nexus 6  General] Joshnor713:
That's hard to believe. When I bought my M7 it was $30 more. I recently checked the Note 4 outright price (no plan, and at a different store) and it was the same, $30 more. And the rep told me he would "totally sell it to me".
[Nexus 6  General] BigRick10:
The pricing on some devices is more. That's what it is listed on our pricing sheet. Prices for the iPhone are the same as well.
[Nexus 6  General] Joshnor713:
Great to hear, thanks for the info!
[Nexus 6  General] dcrandon:
I called the Brooklyn store Sunday at about 8am PST, and they said they are not selling it till Wednesday, and the guy said a few many have been sold out of his store early, but that's been shut down.
[Nexus 6  General] redalertlb:
Ive called every local store in knoxville and they all are saying "they might get them in tomorrow but if not they SHOULD have them by the actually release date of the 19th" should isnt really reassuring...
[Nexus 6  General] Gorjira:
Long post ahead:

I just got back from a somewhat local T-Mo store. I walk in and a rep is using a Demo model of the Nexus 6. I approach him giddy as a school girl asking him, “Is that what I think it is? The Nexus 6?" He says yes and hands it to me to play around on.

A half hour to 45 minutes later (they were dead) I am absolutely sold on this thing! Those speakers give out great sound compared to my N5! Watching YouTube videos was a whole other experience, even if the colors are overly saturated. The build quality is exceptional if only for the metal band around the outside. Weight is well balanced and just heavy (and light) enough to feel secure in hand without fear of dropping it. The overall size was not hard to handle at all and I have smaller hands and chunky thumbs. It's a two hander but not in a bad way. The Midnight Blue, as least to me, adds to the overall "premium-ness(?)" of the device. Battery life is going go be an easy 6 hours OST. He had charged it to 50% and it had 3 hours OST at 20%.

TLDR; Played with Demo Unit. Came (in, and, or, around the phone/pants) Rep took my number said he'd call on Wed! Have pics if anyone wants to see. Nap time before work tonight!
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Just checked a couple of T-Mobile stores around Minneapolis and they don't have the Nexus 6 on display. Wouldn't even give me an expected date of when they'll have it.

[Nexus 6  General] shift_pump:
so excited... I checked yesterday, 11/17 and they said they had no demos and that I was the first guy to ask about the Nexus 6... I guess I won't have to barge in promptly when the store opens to get mine. :D
[Nexus 6  General] Jamesgp:
For those of you Washington people I went to the tmobile off of 18 in federal way and they have a stock of nexus 6's. Just put one on hold for tomorrow!! Ready to get rid of my iPhone and get back to android

Ditto. Sounds like I'm going to be getting up around 1:45 AM to get ready for the online release.

I've found a few stores in the north metro Atlanta area that have them in but not selling them until tomorrow.
[Nexus 6  General] deadkenny64:
I can confirm that no one in NE Ohio will have the phone for sale tomorrow. I did get to look at a demo unit in Lorain (only demo around) but they got nothing in their shipment today. All of the stores are doing ship to home only. I'll try my luck online tomorrow.
[Nexus 6  General] BigRick10:
We have them here in Orange County. DM me bro.

[Nexus 6  General] Illrigger:
No more available in WA stores. No stock in any south Sound stores at all; Seattle locations got a few and were gone in less than an hour according to the rep I talked to. Federal Way was the only store south of Seattle that got any. I think I literally got the last one in the state, and only that because the manager broke some rules and held one for me (complete stroke of luck on my part). The Tacoma stores said they would be getting some in the shipment tonight, but weren't holding out much hope that it would actually happen.
[Nexus 6  General] Mr Ian B:
Called and visited about 10 stores. None of the T-Mobile stores had it in stock and they were only order if I set up a plan with them which I do not want to do. I'm already on straight talk AT&T prepaid plan and it's already paid through January so I don't want to change over to T-Mobile. I guess I just have to wait to my order for December 2 comes in.

Following up with my new work S5 (thanks to the guys in my other thread who schooled me on Knox). Bottom line, we moved from Blackberry to the (our) neutered version of the S5. I am trying to replicate some of the simpler functionality of the BB with the new phone. Now, I have a rooted G3 as a personal phone, so I know how Android works pretty much, but the work phone is pretty locked down. We use Knox for work email and stuff, and the Play store is whitelisted to select apps. No free downloading. Here's what I am trying to do...

#1

My BB has a stupidly simple magnet in the case, so when I put the device in the holster, it went to vibrate-only mode. When I took it out, it would go back to the normal sound profile. No fuss, no user intervention needed. So, TecTiles is one of the apps I was able to get installed, and I ordered some. I can program them to set the phone to silent mode, but am I correct that I would still need to trigger the device to come OUT of silent mode? It's not automatic when it loses connection to the tile?

#2 (bigger)

I have the wireless charging back plate, and I have two issues. First, the "DU-DUNK" sound when the device gets fully charged, discharged a little, then starts charging again. I can't install Battery Doctor to silence it, I can't root to silence it. Can I write a tag with enough specificity to allow sounds for text and phone calls (I have an on call job) and keep the rest quiet?

The other nut kicker is the simple act of going in to clock mode (like a nite stand). Samsung removed the clock from Daydream (FFS), and I can't install any from Play (all I have tried are locked out). Any ideas on that one? Silly as it sounds, I used the BB as my alarm clock, especially while traveling. Timley looks GREAT. Can't install it.

Any help from the pros here would be appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kprice8:
Question...

I didn't read your other thread, but do you have the ability to use outside Media sources? MicroSD or MicroUSB flash drives?

If so, perhaps consider locating .apk's that you want/need for your functions and side load them by running the .apk's from the external drive.

What I use... http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Andro...-fkmr0&keywords=sandisk+flash+drive+dual+mode

And I can't imagine them whitelisting the app to go with it, as it is a storage device, not something malicious.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ret4425:
Thanks for responding. I'm sorry for sounding like a n00b, is this functionally any different from downloading an .apk on the SD card and installing it through a file explorer? As an aside, the way the restrictions work, the apps will install for a brief moment, and then they are uninstalled by the device. Is this method any different?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kprice8:
If you can manually put the .apk on the SD card, or microusb capable flash drive, it may work and stick. Not guaranteed as I have not tried on a phone like yours. GL
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ret4425:
Yeah no dice, it works more like a removal than a block. It will install any app, then remove it when it checks it against the security policy. It's weird, some apps that seem just as innocuous (and are not on the list) install and work. Who knows. The whole thing feels very...unfinished. Like the whole Android enterprise thing isn't quite all put together yet. But I guess free it free, even if it's nerf'd free.

Hi its me again!

I found a very useful icq client.

Its called QIP and comes from Russia ;)

The features are better then the most commercial icq tools!

Its also possible to create away messages and use the new icq status icons!

So far QIP only supports ICQ and no other protocol!

For me its perfect, so give it a try! :) ;)

Added to attachments or download here:

[Samsung Gear S] Eetabeetay:
I understand there is a music player. You can control the music from the music player on your phone or on your watch, but I use Spotify most of the time and don't actually have any music on the phone itself. Right now I have the Gear Live and it works great for media control. Anything that would pop up controls on my lock screen, for instance: I also get controls for video too like Netflix when I'm streaming to Chromecast. I've been unhappy with the very limited cards interface of Android Wear and was looking at the Gear S but I really need media controls.

Also will the Gear S only work with Samsung Messages? Can I use Samsung Messages on the watch while using something else on my phone? Right now I'm using the Google Messenger app they just released with the beautiful material design look.
[Samsung Gear S] GreenBot:
I would love it to have basic Bluetooth music controls also which is a MUST. Very few ppl still use the stock music apps and not online services.

That way we can control other devices and stereos also.
[Samsung Gear S] sbrownla:
Hm. So the Media Controls app doesn't seem to have made it to the Gear S even though it is on the Gear 2 and all of the others. Not sure why it isn't there.

The Gear S will only work fully with Samsung's messaging app on the phone. Hangouts functionality beyond notifications is locked down to Android Wear and Android devices by Google.
[Samsung Gear S] deekod:
So there is no Spotify control on gear s? ?
