FWIW: I had good luck ordering online from Sprint last night. Received shipment info this morning (<12 hours) with tracking info.
[Nexus 6  General] LegacyKill3r:
Nexus 6

Yea I was so happy I order mine yesterday morning and I for a tracking number by the time i got home from work.. should be here tomorrow but i'm off from work...don't care would be more than happy to pick my baby up.. :laugh::laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
Sprint in Apple Valley, MN (in case anyone is from the metro area in MN) will have a Demo on display tomorrow and he said they got about 10 phones in they will sell starting tomorrow. I will probably check it out even though that means taking a very long lunch break... I am not sure why they aren't setting it up or selling it today...
[Nexus 6  General] :
I should have mine in less than 2 hours. Just waiting on the UPS guy to come. So F-ing excited right now.
[Nexus 6  General] Ep3n3wp:
None of the sprints around me have any :(

Gonna call telesales and just order one and see if I can get it overnighted
[Nexus 6  General] wytecaztle:
Should be here any minute.......
[Nexus 6  General] :
I got it!!! Wow...just wow! More to come.
[Nexus 6  General] dodgejcr:
Got mine today when I got home. Sprint never sent an email with shipping info but I was able to find the tracking number on the order status. I ordered it about 5 minutes after midnight on the 14th.

As far as the phone goes, its very large. On the stock rom after updates and whatnot I am left with ~24.5 gb of storage on the 32gb model. Setup and activation was a breeze as it came with the sim already in the phone. Its a beautifully designed phone and feels great in hand. I have no complaints thus far just cant wait to get working on the source for a few kernel tweaks. Let me know if you guys want some more info.
[Nexus 6  General] kf2m:
Got mine!

Local Sprint store (#666) just got them when I called at noon. Was there in 15min, and 30min after that I had one in my hands. Now to r00t, and other things...

Note: After using it for several hours my work G2 feels small...
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Dangit if it wasn't for me getting ready to leave Sprint I woulda just bought carrier.

/Skripka resumes F5ing Motorola order status.
[Nexus 6  General] wytecaztle:
Got mine around 3:30 est and all coworkers are jealous. I fastboot unlocked boot loader then CF-Auto rooted this thang. Now I am enjoying the spoils of Motorola and NExUS 6.
[Nexus 6  General] jj14:
Not just your co-workers.. many of us here are jealous too :)
[Nexus 6  General] ix3u:
Holy ****. For the last week and a half, ups has been coming between 12 and 2:30 every day. My phone is coming today, so of course I'm sitting here at 6:20 and they still haven't come. It's driving me nuts!
[Nexus 6  General] Ep3n3wp:
Finally gave up on trying to find one at a store and placed an order about an hour ago...

Hopefully I'll get it saturday

Can't wait though!!!
[Nexus 6  General] :
Phone is spectacular. Seriously. Fluid, smooth and just gorgeous. 5.0 is butter. I'm so happy.
[Nexus 6  General] ericwgarza1:
Bought mine today while in south texas (for work). Already got it unlocked, rooted and twrp is installed. I bought it less than 2 hrs ago, lol. Now its play time.

Love this huge phone already!
[Nexus 6  General] jfcooley:
Ordered mine this morning. Hoping to at least have before thanksgiving.
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
Well I decided to try the Apple Valley corporate store in MN this afternoon again and they sold me one. I asked if it was popular and he said not yet, not many people know about the phone . They have their display set up as well. Check corporate stores before the franchise stores I guess. Corporate stores have the repair center.
[Nexus 6  General] StickyEyez:
Give up trying to find one in San Diego so looks like I'm gonna order it... Are they still backordered from Sprint?
[Nexus 6  General] jfcooley:
Ordered mine yesterday and its shipped with Monday eta. They seem to be in stock.
[Nexus 6  General] Ep3n3wp:
Ordered mine yesterday and got shipping label info same day! Excited to get it
[Nexus 6  General] StickyEyez:
Thanks guys
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
By the way Sprint automagically added $11 equipment protection to my plan without asking or confirming with me when I bought the phone yesterday. I saw it on my account last night when I just happened to be paying my bill.

I am not sure if that is standard procedure for in store purchases or not but I don't pay for insurance on my phones so I was a little pissed off about it. You can remove it yourself online though without talking to anyone. I have never had that happen with my online orders/activation. The guy in store was pretty cool though talking about rooting and custom roms and stuff so I am hoping it was an honest mistake on his part.
[Nexus 6  General] popfan:
Got mine yesterday from a sprint store here in Springfield, MO
[Nexus 6  General] noahas:
Couldn't purchase in store with 2 year contract

Anyone have any idea on this? My 2 year contract was Sprint was up, so I was eligible for the full upgrade. They had a (1) N6 in stock and for some reason said the system wouldn't let it be purchased with the subsidy (they used the term MSA) for the $250 price with a new contract.

They thought that it was because it wasn't "loaded into the system yet". They said maybe by tomorrow since their new week starts on Saturday and that was when it was expected to start being sold in stores. Does this seem right to anyone?
[Nexus 6  General] nycdiplomat:

[Nexus 6  General] bricky23:
So even though it is bought through sprint, is it unlocked version to use with any carrier?
[Nexus 6  General] randalldeflagg:
talked to a sprint sales rep at a store last month. They get a commission on them regardless if you keep it or not. You dont pay for it when you pay for the phone so most people dont realize what they just signed and agreed to. Told him if I did that at my job I would be looking for a new job.
[Nexus 6  General] RoC1909:
As soon as I received the email stating that the Nexus 6 was available on Sprint, I clicked the link and bought the device. A few hours later, I got an email stating that the device was not stocked, or hadn't been received by Sprint yet.. About an hour after receiving that email, I got another email stating my payment was processed and that I would get a shipping notification soon. Well, a day later, I received the shipping email and 2 days after that, had a new Nexus 6 in hand.

Easy as pie.

It's an amazing phone!!!
[Nexus 6  General] jughead17:
Picked up my N6 from a local store today. Unfortunately 6 hours later I still have no data. Tech support isn't sure if its a phone problem or some national outage not allowing it to provision correctly. If it doesn't work by tomorrow I will have to exchange it, if anybody else locally has one.
[Nexus 6  General] turtleman2008:
did you try entering *#*#72786#*#* into the dialer?
[Nexus 6  General] jughead17:
Tried that code multiple times in the hour I was on the phone with support.
[Nexus 6  General] jughead17:
Success finally. Only took them 24 hours to get my data working. Apparently there is a problem provisioning data for the N6 on a family share plan. They had to give me a temporary plan until they get it figured out on their end. Previously the Note 4 and I-lemming 6 had the same issue.
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
Correct
[Nexus 6  General] jfcooley:
Out for delivery. Glad I've only got a 5 hr shift today.

So frustrating that it sat in the ups distribution hub less than 5 miles away all weekend.
[Nexus 6  General] nibrwr:
Same here. I tried to schedule a Saturday pickup but UPS wasn't going for it.
[Nexus 6  General] Ep3n3wp:
Lol... Same boat.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
If you give me an address, I and a dozen other XDA posters would be glad to come by your casa and give you a Swift Kick in the Butt. :angel:
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
Ordered mine very early this morning at like 5am. Hopefully it can get processed and shipped before the holiday. Saw no indication of it being backordered or anything
[Nexus 6  General] mattgfx:
ordered mine last night thru telesales, im hoping for the same!
[Nexus 6  General] gruppe3942:
Ordered mine around 3:00 pm yesterday. Just got the shipping notification today a few minutes ago!!
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
Nice! What shipping method/speed to they use? I know ATT is always 2 day shipping. With an option to overnight.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Ordered mine yesterday. Come on baby. Haha. I have a g3 but can't wait for this thing too.
[Nexus 6  General] :
You're going to love it. Huge improvement from the G3.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Can't wait. Any idea how long it is before they ship. My email was full when I ordered it so I missed the email. I got my order # but doesn't say much besides order date.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I ordered on Sprint launch day and had the phone 6 days later. Should be much quicker now though. Maybe you'll get lucky and have it by Thanksgiving.
[Nexus 6  General] jfcooley:
I ordered mime Thursday aftetnoon and recieved it today. The weekend is what killed me.
[Nexus 6  General] Ep3n3wp:
Ordered mine Thursday and got it today(missed the cutoff on Thursday) so it sat at the hub for 2 days...

Anyways I'm happy there isn't any sprint branding on the device itself
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
So I ordered early morning of the 24th and received my tracking number early this evening. Hopefully they can keep the ETA of Wednesday!
[Nexus 6  General] mattgfx:
Did you order online or through telesales? I still havent gotten confirmation of shipping and I ordered last night..
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
I ordered online! Were you waiting for the email or did you check Sprint's order status page? Because I never received an email.
[Nexus 6  General] mattgfx:
I have been jumping through hoops to get this phone. I am on SERO. Local store had one in stock last night, Tried to get it, they said that it wouldnt let them get contract pricing nor populate a new 2 yr agreement. Told me that the only thing I could do was order through telesales.

I have received the email with my order #, but tracking info has not been updated...
[Nexus 6  General] mattgfx:
Any chance you can tell me what region you live in? I am in the midwest, wondering if that makes a difference...
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
Might. Its being shipped to Atlanta Georgia from Kentucky. Not far at all.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
How's your order comin. I'm in San Diego also and ordered last night. No word yet.
[Nexus 6  General] StickyEyez:
I finally found it in a store and bought it there Friday

Sent from ChameleonOS
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
I'm gonna wear out my refresh button. Haha. This sucks waiting for shipping confirmation.
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
Feel bad for people that might be affected by this winter storm coming. Figure that and thanksgiving can cause some delay.
[Nexus 6  General] mattgfx:
Got my shipping confirmation at 4am this morning (CST). Departure scan was at 3:29pm. UPS says it cant give me a ship date yet...hoping for friday. Would be nice if it was tomorrow lol! it was sent 2nd day air...
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Ordered mine the night of the 23rd. Never got a tracking #. Chatted with Sprint today and got tracking. It's in San Diego already. That's where I live. 32 blue. Super stoked.
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
On OK good! Nice they gave you a decent shipping speed. Since I'm so close to the warehouse mine was shipped UPS ground. Expecting it tomorrow! Glad it only took two days and I don't have to wait until after the Holiday. Will have plenty of down time on Thanksgiving to play with it!
[Nexus 6  General] mattgfx:
Got mine today at about 330. Did you get yours? Im using it right now. Its awesome!!!!
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
Yep got mine around 6! Playing with it right now. Pretty amazing!
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Got this hawk today. This thing is pretty bomb.
[Nexus 6  General] lilman355:
Hopefully mine gets processed soon. It says to give max 3 days for processing. 1 down haha. I just want it processed by Friday so that it can get here Monday.
[Nexus 6  General] thorracing1:
I walked into Sprint store and bought one 2 days ago
[Nexus 6  General] bwillet:
I called three three nearest corporate Sprint stores (north of Atlanta) and each had exactly one phone. Weird. Picked one up, then managed to snag a 64gb on the play store yesterday. Wife gets the 32!
[Nexus 6  General] :
So, after a few days, what do you think?

Spouted from shamu via Tapatalk
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
I feel bad for my g3. It hasn't been turned on since I got this. It's pretty awesome. Very happy with my choice.
[Nexus 6  General] mrblau:
Ordered last night and just got a shipping confirmation 5 minutes ago
[Nexus 6  General] KB112:
Damn, maybe I should have ordered from Sprint yesterday. :/ I ordered from BestBuy since I had a $50 gift card, still shows as processing with no update. And now I bet I'm ineligible to the Google play credit, since I didn't order from Sprint directly. Aww hell, either way I'm glad I got the phone subsidized. Now I just want it to arrive!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paddylaz:
Thought this might be worth a discussion.

Keen to leave Stock camera for the first time as my general photography skills have improved with my budget dslr and want more comprehensive white balance, aperture and shutter speed options.

What I'm concerned about is......does the s4's stock camera have any sort of algorithmic advantages/tweaks that I will lose if I switch to a 3rd party?

With an iPhone for instance there's no fear of this as Apple is pretty militant (translation: nazi-like) with their camera API. But wondering if moving to a 3rd party cam might result in losing any camera optimisations Samsung may have specifically applied to the stock and only stock app.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
From a non technical point of view and based solely on my personal experiences I would say any 3rd party camera app falls short of the stock app. Burst mode, HDR and panoramic all work flawlessly on stock.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
I have to agree. The stock camera app is one of the MAIN reasons that I stick with TouchWiz ROMs because frankly when it comes to performance and options there still isn't any 3rd party app out there that comes close to what the stock will do.

Downloads....

Download From This Link
[Sony Xperia C] luridx:
Reserved

how do you downgrade from .16 to .13?
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
*Download wmshua

*Download ftf file of 16.0.B.2.13

*Install Sony PC Companion

*Switch Off your mobile phone and get the Original USB Cable pf your device

*Open Wmshua and then Connect your device to PC pressing the Volume Down Key

*As Soon as connected Wmshua will install device drivers (taking about a minute), then go to "Flash" option and select the ftf file from there. And click on Start. It will take about 10 minutes or maybe more to flash the file. Wait Till It Completes.

*Now your device is ready on 16.0.B.2.13

(If you are having problem with the language of wmshua the go to C:\Program Files(X86)\完美刷机 then rename the folder "language" to "language_x" language will become English)
[Sony Xperia C] IcaroAlesana:
Version

It upgrades just the interface to kitkat? Or it does actually upgrades the Android version? And what about the kernel?
[Sony Xperia C] criss_007:
According to the op, it is still 4.2.2, so just the interface and some apps as mentioned.

Maybe the title should be changed to reflect the fact that this is just "kitkat look & feel" It is certainly misleading.

One doubt though, what about the storage? Specifically the method to increase the device memory by reducing the internal storage.
[Sony Xperia C] IcaroAlesana:
Can't an actual ROM update be done? I would surely donate and suport it in any way I could :(
[Sony Xperia C] IcaroAlesana:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

This adress gives a code for unlocking the bootloader. If someone agrees with avoiding his warranty, would it be possible to develop an actual kitkat ROM?
[Sony Xperia C] argelleo:
nice work!

It works! One question can i updte it to 16.0.B.2.16 aftrr install?:)
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
If you update to 16.0.B.2.16 after installing the ROM then system will be restored to Stock 16.0.B.2.16 System.
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
Developing an actual KitKat is not possible as we do not have the Source Code for that unfortunately. :(
[Sony Xperia C] abhishekr700:
hey do we need to unlock bootloader to flash this rom
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
No, the ROM works on both Locked and Unlocked bootloader devices.
[Sony Xperia C] IcaroAlesana:
It will never be possible, then? :(
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
Unfortunately you are right because we don't have the source code to make an real update and also we don't have a supporting firmware.

If someone wants to make an actual KitKat update then he/she has to start from making the firmware then making the ROM.... that would be a very time consuming and also would need experts.
[Sony Xperia C] IcaroAlesana:
Can't it be made using a rom of a phone with simmilar specs? How developers usually make roms of phones that don't have the official updates? I want to start learning to develop, soon. I just need to finnish college, so i'll have a little more time.
[Sony Xperia C] viv5570kr:

Xperia c kitkat

My problem after installing is its starts with Sony logobut then somepurple image appear with a sound it waits for 1 min or less then. Sshutdown and it goes on but I just tried it for less than five min and I restored my old rom plz plz help me
[Sony Xperia C] theonecallednick:
nope, whatever code you get, you can't get to fastboot so, you can't unlock the bootloader..
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
The purple images that you are telling are part of BootAnimation.

The problem you are telling occurs when device is not ready with the firmware needed. Get your device to 16.0.B.2.13 and then flash the ROM after that it will work perfectly. Read this guide to get your device to 16.0.B.2.13
