Lol I wouldn't trash a device I have and love , and yes I've a couple problems, some apps have freezing screen issue, and I don't think most people use landscape both left and right, screen freeze occur mostly in landscape mode, chrome also shows black blocks on landscape mode, I love the speakers but there is stuttering specially on low battery, and my n6 shuts down at 3% no matter which rom I'm on, currently I'm running stock 5.1 rooted decrypted with latest Franco kernel
[Nexus 6  General] tat2messiah:
I had the note 4 and switched to the nexus 6 and I haven't had any of the issues mentioned...I had a lot of crashes and freezes with the note 4 ...I love my nexus 6 if google keeps the the next nexus this size and front speakers I would upgrade to the next nexus without a doubt
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Well maybe these issues are somehow hardware related, maybe even with a specific batch as not all users suffer these issues. I never had any of these issues and neither have the ones that posted here in this thread. You might try getting a replacement phone for yours. Just a thought, and you also have these issues with custom roms?
[Nexus 6  General] Nickchapstick:
I am not 100% sure but I think Motorola may have made the phone not Google.
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
I love my Nexus 6. Bought Note 5, and yes it's a beautiful phone, but I am back to my Nexus. Touch wiz is no bueno
[Nexus 6  General] BluntSmokeTrauma:
Love my Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] asacado:
I like not having to flash other roms to be like a nexus phone.
[Nexus 6  General] oposiasty:
I currently own Z5 compact, S6, G4 and Nexus 6 and to be honest - N6 wins.

It might not be as compact as Z5C, do not have 'premium' feel like S6 or this great leather facture of G4, but I love it.

It's fastest one, runs cold, has great display and I'm missing words to describe all the feelings for it :D

Also it gives one of the best bang per buck atm.

For a moment there I thought this thread was going to be a serious thread.

Confirmation bias and slippery slope fallacy.
[Nexus 6  General] droidstyle:
This thread needs locked...first of all Google never made the phone Motorola did. And no it's far from the worst phone Moto ever built.
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:
Nexus6 is the Best device! This is the Worst thread!
[Nexus 6  General] therealdanbear:
I don't know mine was fine for the 10 mins I ran it on stock ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Mega Montana:
OP bought a Sammy and tried to make themselves feel better about it by starting this thread. Whoops. Live and learn.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
I don't think its the worst, but it was definitely overpriced at launch. The Nexus 6 has had the largest price drop of pretty much any Android phone, and for a flagship thats not acceptable. It was sold as a no compromise premium flagship yet it clearly had some subpar hw that Motorola saved money on. Look at the 6P, it has superior hw in every category and its priced $150 lower which is a much more realistic price.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
This thread had a lot of critical remarks about Google's design and some apps. That seems good to me. Google has still work to do to give us a better and customizable interface. Not everyone is able to Root etc....
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yes for you Yankees. For us in Europe it's 150€ MORE than N6 was at launch. Not tempting at all.
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
I am currently on stock and have had minor issues about half a dozen times since purchase earlier in the year. iPhones in this house have had more problems, for example.

Solid operations, great size, rugged in my dual-layer cases (despite being dropped a number of times), still just as fast as day 1, etc.

Once in awhile, my voice cuts out during a call and then clears up, primarily when I am in certain office buildings. That's been the worst issue, yet it's not even bad - our other phones are comparable.

- wader
[Nexus 6  General] Yasharkhan:
The trols criticising this thread should look all around the nexus 6 xda forum and Google and see that many people have the problems I mentioned, just cos you're dumb enough to overlook the minor issues doesn't mean other are, when you buy a premium phone you don't expect to find even minor problems and that's why I started this thread, I didn't start this thread for dumb people who don't know anything but to trol and criticise
[Nexus 6  General] Rektifying:
What issues are / were you having with your Nexus 6? I have had mine for about a week now and I am currently having no issues that I have noticed. I did have an issue with my proximity sensor but I was able to resolve it. (bad flash of system.img when utilizing the flash-all command when I flashed to 6.0. Flashed each .img individually and no longer an issue)

This is my first Android phone (coming from the iPhone / IOS world) and I have had no regrets. I like my Nexus 6 much more than my previous boring ol iPhone 6. Although all I know of Android is Stock Marshmallow 6.0 on the Nexus 6 so if there were a bunch of issues in Lollipop with the Nexus 6 I luckily missed out on them. :D
[Nexus 6  General] derekr44:
As far as the Nexus brand is concerned, I don't think Google and Moto did a good job with this one. The proprietary binaries are massively huge compared to other Nexus devices (maybe that's where the Shamu moniker came from) and so many things are problematic when it comes to cooking up AOSP. Lots of our own devs here on XDA and elsewhere have to code their own fixes to correct minute details that can be a pain. Hardware issues aside, I don't think they did a very good job as a Nexus device.
[Nexus 6  General] Semseddin:
So, you see a lot of threads regarding hw problems and other defects but don't even say you've experienced them yourself. You name your thread with a stupid title and add a question mark meaning you're looking for supporters to support your stupid assumptions. Then you ask for opinions of people around here if they're happy with their devices and then you think you can call people dumb just because they posted their happiness into your stupid thread. I don't see any dumb other than you in this whole thread for real. Actually the nexus 6 community is made of very nice people, so that your stupid thread could have lived this long with positive critism. Do you really know the meaning of critism and critics ? If you knew for real, you wouldn't dare to call people dumb for their positive critics, Kid, now go find yourself a mirror and look in it to see and learn how a dumb would look like in real life.
[Nexus 6  General] rvirga:
To me the Nexus 6 is the second worst Nexus phone ever made, immediately after the infamous Verizon Galaxy Nexus. And for the same reason, which is: Google let carrier-specific customizations in the firmware, which delayed the release of updates.
[Nexus 6  General] Cryonics:
No issues whatsoever! Experiencing major battery drains on first few months. got 6+ hours on 30% auto brightness after that. Stock 5.1.1 ROM Stock Kernel. with xposed and minor tweaks. Just need SD card slot and this thing is a beast!
[Nexus 6  General] NoNRG:
This is the only thing bothering me about my N6 that I purchased in Dec 2014 (not considering the clusterf*** ordering lottery back at that time).
[Nexus 6  General] ajsmsg78:
HA, yeah, remember that Spreadsheet that went around? I ordered mine the day it came out but not until around 9am and I was one of lucky handful to get it even though it took roughly two weeks to come. That was an epic example of the supply shortage and failed shipment delivery's that Google and T-Mobile had to deal with.
[Nexus 6  General] le grande magnetto:
Let me get this straight: because your carrier messed up your phone, N6 is bad as a device?
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
Google let a carrier add code inside a Nexus device, that's bad.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
At least with a Nexus device you can remove it. Or install anything you want on it. After having a Sammy device on Verizon for a year the nexus 6 is like heaven.
[Nexus 6  General] marcviado:
I'm reading a couple post on this thread and I have to agree with most of them..

1 this is a very useless thread

2 I disagree,the n6 is NOT the worst phone

3 I've had no issues with this phone besides the phone being a tad slippery in my hands lol

4 name 1 phone out that you can EASILY unlock bootloader,root and have custom recovery

5 not to mention how much support the Nexus line has

6 yes, on first release the price they set n6 was pretty high but can get it for dirt cheap now.

I can go on and on. Lag? There's always gonna be lag and stutters but don't get me started on Samsung,lg,and htc

This phone is amazing,I've had no issues at all whatsoever
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
I agree with you, except that this thread is useless. Everyone can have some critic or like you posting a lot of positivity. The thread can be useful for users looking for a phone.
[Nexus 6  General] marcviado:
Okay,that's understandable. But posting it as "worst phone Google made" is something I disagree on.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Me too. But it a way to get attention.
[Nexus 6  General] jtorress:
I have never seen or experienced myself any of those symptoms on my 32Gb Nexus 6. This phone is actually one of the best phone I have ever owned. The stock experience its definitely a contributor to this in my opinion.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
The only problem with the phone that has been verified is the back cover coming a part. Seems the issue was fixed early on since there have been no new complaints after the first few months.
[Nexus 6  General] Semseddin:
I think that was an issue with the first batches of the nexus 6 that was corrected with the later bacthes.. Anyone can check the manufacture date and warranty country of their nexus6 using the following website.

http://imeidata.net/warranty/motorola

My 64gb XT1100

Manufacture date : March 16, 2015

Warranty Country : AE ( United Arabian Emirates )
[Nexus 6  General] tykalx:
you're on point, feels like this is movement being led by review sites to make a story out of something, its been a an excellent experience with this phone.

felt like the second it was announced, it was getting crushed for being different.
[Nexus 6  General] BruKnowsBest:
neither do I, it's a great stable phone, but I do think it was overpriced for what it delivers... I've had it since week 1 of the release and I have no problems, the updates actually fixed 90% of the reported bugs, but never had an issue
[Nexus 6  General] leondestiny:
this phone is the sexiest phone i have owned, and i love it! my only problem with it has been a ''screen defect'' sadly not lucky me (I ordered it from amazon new condition and got it just some 3 weeks ago, and after my 2nd week i noticed a black gradient darkish bar which goes from top vertically down to the bottom of the phone, it can be seen very clearly when you focus abit on the color, luckily it is not seen on pitch black/pitch white themes!) I had posted my issue twice before.

other than that i so love this phone alot.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
This is really more simple then that, its not Google or Verizon (well its more Verizon and here is why) CDMA metworks are old network with alot of the Telephone aspects that are very strongly protected and not open source. This is the reason that verizon doesnt always get version of the nexus. It is a licencing nightmare. So as Long as CDMA carriers continue to use the outdated network, users of those devices will always be waiting while things get ironed out legally. Sooner or later they will have to update to the same GSM networks that 98% of the world uses.
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
the nexus 6 is the best phablet ever made so far, it's only problem being, it is actually too small to be a proper phablet. it really needs at least a 6.5" screen. all the other phablets that are even smaller than the nexus 6 are so small they're a joke in the phablet category.

-peter
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Would 0.5 inch help. My problem is reading modern grey text on a white background. Especially websites. Some websites does not allow zooming.
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
Don't know? 0.5" is just a guess. right now, the current nexus 6 is so small, it has room to fall over into the horizontal postition in the pocket of my standard men's work slacks or cargo shorts. a phablet needs to be as big as possible, but still small enough to fit in an ordinary pocket. if it so small that it's swimming in the pocket of ordinary work slacks, then it's too small for a proper phablet.

-peter
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
I keep mine in the front pocket of my jeans at work. The corner shows a bit but still fits. 6.5 would be to big. I may go to 6.2 but no more. I only dislike the curbed back since trying to tap the screen with a coffee in the other hand makes it wobble when laying on its back.
[Nexus 6  General] illcat2000:
I've had my nexus 6 for a week not got a great deal on eBay and passed on this year's gen nexus devices. I have had a galaxy nexus and nexus 5 and I have to disagree this is not the worst nexus phone made. I am getting use to the size but it isn't much of an adjustment as I'm coming from a 6 plus. Battery could be better but it has greatly improved since marshmallows release.
[Nexus 6  General] Fuse8499:
This is the best Nexus (if not device) I've ever used. I bought the 64 gb White US model on Amazon for $400 and it's running like a superstar on VZW lte network!
[Nexus 6  General] MHB1638:
I've had numerous phones, (never a Iphone) and although this phone performs perfectly, the damn size is really cumbersome. I bought this phone (again) this time on the Ebay deal for $300. I would hop on the N5x wagon if the price was more reasonable for what you're getting. For now I'll suffer over the size, although it is very annoying. But the performance with Pure nexus 6.0 is simply amazing.
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
Lol. After three years using phablets tiny toys like the Nexus 5 sized phones are a joke and a waste for just about anything but making phone calls. In fact, to be truly useful, the Nexus 6 needs of be bigger. the fact that the Nexus 6p is actually smaller than the original Nexus 6, which itself already too small, makes it a complete non-starter for my consideration.

-Peter
[Nexus 6  General] illcat2000:
I disagree this size is a sweet spot it is in fact very cumbersome I find myself having to figure out where to put it especially in my car as the mount I had is too small. Still my favorite nexus yet.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Ill be interested to see how the size of the device handles the active live of a winter in Alaska.
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
Never said it's a sweet spot, in fact the Nexus 6 is too small. And by a good bit, too. For a proper phablet, anyway. Sounds like you like regular smartphones better than phablets. Knock yourself out. You have tons to choose from if you like regular phones. The 5x is just about out there, and the original 5 is easy to get. But for a phablet, the Nexus 6 is too small. I am entirely ordinary in size, just under 6', about 190lbs, and the Nexus 6 is so small, if I put it into my standard mens work/dress slacks upright, it falls over onto it's side. I've ruined a couple of headphone cords, because when the Nexus 6 falls over to horizontal in my pocket, it bends the cord and eventually wears it out. Any phone claiming to be a phablet that is so swimming in a standard pocket that it has room to fall over, is NOT a properly sized phablet.

-Peter
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
No deader than the incessant and inane droning of the horse-beaters who expect a phablet to be as small as an ordinary phone. Phablets exist. And some of us like them. They aren't hurting you. There are plenty of non-phablets to choose from. No need to keep kicking the horse.

-Peter
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
If you think the N6 is as small as the ordinary phone, well....... there are millions that would disagree with you.
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
I think it's undersized for a phablet. For all those millions who think it's too big, there are plenty of options. For the few of us who base phablet size on "big as possible as long as it fits in your pocket", the options are few, and the Nexus 6 is as good as it gets, even if too small.

-Peter
[Nexus 6  General] BruKnowsBest:
BEST ONE BY FARRRRRR is the N5, I love my N6 but I am actually getting bored with it.
[Nexus 6  General] asacado:
I just bought mine. The phone is legit.
[Nexus 6  General] zabihjan:
mine has many more issues including your post. my phone has gone to repair multiple times, exchanged multiple times, I have lost the love for it now. I wish I had not bought it. it has severe hardware and software issues. now with marshmallow it is running smoother but has issues with with not saving data for stock apps such as chrome, camera youtube calender etc. it has issue when waking the phone by power button. the ambient display only works when it wishes and so on
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
i'm going to guess this isn't the experience of the typical nexus 6 buyer... who did the repairs? motorola themselves? other?

-peter
[Nexus 6  General] jwzg:
Word...the chances of exchanging a phone multiple times and having continued issues as described here might be up there with getting hit by lightning while watching Sasquatch.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
Maybe he should switch to am iPhone. Although he will probably have problems with it also. They still sell flip phones though...:p
[Nexus 6  General] zabihjan:
Motorola UK did the repairs. In total I was without my phone for exactly 4 months. Motorola has the worst after sale service and I would never buy any of their products again. I made a big mistake buying from carphonewarehouse because Google was playing their dirty out of stock trick
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
4 Months is an absurd amount of time. Most manufacturers will send out a refurb right away. I can understand why you feel bad. They should have sent out a different phone. You must have been getting back the same bad phone. Next time ask for a different phone.
[Nexus 6  General] kickenwing13:
About to get rid of my note 5 to get nexus 6 back.. Got one as a spare just waiting for sim unlock code. The software experience is so much better than note 5.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
Probably not as bad as the Verizon Note 3 software. Verizon left their customers with a really bad 5.0 build. Lucky there are newer leaked versions from Samsung that makes the phone much faster and no bugs. The only explanation is Verizon wants to sell new phones so they pushed the worst build to the older models.

No problem though since this is the last month with Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] Rektifying:
Good to hear this. The Nexus 6 is my first Android phone coming from IOS. I finally made the switch with no regrets. I'm happy I went with a Nexus Device. I did consider the Note 5 at first, but then I read up on Nexus Devices. Official Nexus Lifer!
[Nexus 6  General] kickenwing13:
It is bulky, but that's what I love about it sometimes. And when compared to the note 5 the screen is definitely not as good. But I still love this thing, I love pure Nexus, chroma, all of the options available and how much better this thing runs, how much more smooth everything is. But the screen, I can get over it, but it's not near as good. Also I need slow motion high-definition video recording to coach baseball and the Nexus 6 doesn't have that. So I can't keep it. I think I need to get the new Nexus because it has that option but I'm afraid I won't like that brand of Nexus, that size Nexus, excetera

I actually just sold my galaxy s6 edge and bought the N6 and had some cash left over. Very pleased. The phone does what it's supposed to, the size grows on you, plenty of support from devs, promised Android version upgrades, the ONLY thing I miss is Samsung camera. Open to suggestions.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
I am using the G-camera simple and good enough for me. When you want professional things more settings etc. Try camera FV-5.
[Nexus 6  General] LoneWolf15:
Background: my first "smart" phone was a Kyocera 7135 PDA phone with Palm. I've since had multiple Palm Treos, a Blackberry Tour, Droid 2, Droid Bionic, Droid MAXX, iPhone 6, and Nexus 6. So I've been around a little.

I haven't had my Nexus 6 that long, but whether it was on 5.1.1 or 6.0, it was buttery smooth. No jankiness whatsoever. Things open and close well. Nothing's gotten laggy even with multiple apps open. HD video is smooth. The only way I can think lag might happen is moments when cell signal strength is weak. I have never had a frozen screen, or stuttering audio, or random reboots.

I'm torn between it and the Droid MAXX as the best phone I've used. The reason the MAXX enters in is Motorola's amazing driving mode, and the ability to voice-unlock the phone (probably due to Kit Kat not being as secure). The front-facing mic also made it better for hands-free use, and battery life was crazy-good. But when it comes to using the phone unlocked, browsing, apps, multimedia, screen quality, and so on, the Nexus 6 wins, and its battery life is more than good enough.

I wonder if the people having trouble are experiencing issues more with cell carrier responsiveness than they are with the phone. In the US, I can say I've seen AT&T as not as responsive when using Google Now as Verizon is on occasion.
[Nexus 6  General] joshboudreau89:
The nexus 6 is my 3rd ever Android phone (htc desire hd, galaxy s5 ) the other two, this is hands down my favorite Android phone, battery life on marshmellow is excellent, tons of support from devs .
[Nexus 6  General] vishalmmehra:
Have not faced a single problem like you described. Have had Nexus 4, 5 and now 6, this is simply the best one I have used. So I am super happy with mine. :good:
[Nexus 6  General] bigsnack:
I've had the Nexus 6 since Friday and while it gets a bit warm(my G2 did too), it maybe the best phone I'ved had. Sure, it's a bit wide, and battery life could be a bit better, but that speed, stock software, and support really make up for everything.
[Nexus 6  General] SocksNUrToaster:
I've had this phone for a few days..downgraded from the 6P because of build quality issues I had..can't trust huawei..

But..have you guys noticed how hot this phone gets?
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Yes. That is why I have black/dark backgrounds when possible.
[Nexus 6  General] nighthawk626:
Nowhere as hot as my nexus 4 did. You could fry eggs and bacon on the back of those phones

As for keeping my phone cool, a custom kernel can make all the difference
[Nexus 6  General] YankInDaSouth:
Coming from a 2015 Moto X Pure Edition and the LG G4 prior to that, the N6 runs cool as a cucumber in comparison! Have you checked your battery stats? Maybe you've got a rogue app??
[Nexus 6  General] monkor:
First day with the phone. So far so good. Glad to be back with the Nexus after my Nexus 4. I had forgotten how miserable the cameras are on Nexus devices until the 6P at least. Low light is a complete joke haha. Basically unusable. Any tips or is this permanent? Mind you I'm coming from an iPhone 6S Plus and a Note 4 before I realized I don't take any pictures.

Other than that, great phone and runs fine with encryption on! Is it even worth it to deencrypt? Any tips in addition?
