For those who are using a skin on your 6P or maybe a cover, do these things, especially skins make the phone heat up more considering the metal body dissipating heat is trapped by the skin on top of it? I know it's a horrible summer we are going through but I was just wondering if my GSAM battery monitor showing a temperature range of 35-42 is normal or not. This is when I am using the phone and while the phone is charging, the temperature varies from 40 to 42.

And while I mentioned skins, here's what I have on my phone. :)

PS: I know there are gonna be haters for the "red" camera skin part. I wanted some color :laugh:
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
I don't think skins cause heat dissipation. My phone tends to heat up sometimes say while charging, while taking videos with or without flash. But I never care to monitor the temp using any apps. It is perfectly normal for a phone to heat up during heavy usage and I'm sure the excess heat is more to do with the raising external temperature.

Just uninstall those temp and battery monitoring apps. When the phones reaches unbearable temps, thermal throttling will kick in to save the phone.

Does Indian Nexus 6p support 4G in USA... say, on AT&T and Verizon?
[Nexus 6P General] mihir2035:
6p Forgot to Doze!

Can someone please help me understand these (attached) battery history details?

The battery percentage was around 52~55% last night and it was switched off when I woke up in the morning!

[Nexus 6P General] BrokeDude12345:
Hey all. I've got the phone about a week back and the phone instantly downloaded the required security updates. 3 Questions:

1. How noticeable is the yellowish tint on your phones? For me, I've gotten used to it over time. It kinda helps in low light situations. And a friend's Note 5 has the same yellowish display, except it's seen even in max brightness. Whereas in my 6P, it's hard to notice in max brightness. Same for a Galaxy S6 Edge.

2. The battery is the issue which has been bothering me the most. I barely get 4-4.25 hours of SOT. But when the screen is on and I'm doing regular usage - texting, multitasking, Instagram, Facebook, few phonecalls, occasional YouTube video, reading eBooks, etc - the battery drops like crazy. If required, I'll drop a screenshot of my Battery Graph so we can compare. I've tried every non-root method there is; changing WIFI band to 2.4GHz, clearing system cache and app cache, turning off bluetooth in the main settings, etc.

3. How many of you have gotten the May Update? Has it changed the battery by any chance?
[Nexus 6P General] .xxx.:
It should as all the bands are unlocked by default and therefore, any carrier from any country should be supported by default.

For starters, it should work even then. But as you have pointed out that the lower frequencies band 12 13 aren't available, then you might face some issues indoors. In that case, the American model is much better.

Any of you guys know how to use mirror link in the Nexus 6p to connect to the car, I have a baleno, trying to connect it but not detecting, then I heard about mirror link app, but couldn't find a link or anything for our phone, any idea?
[Nexus 6P General] Crhysis:
MirrorLink only works with a few phones and apps. Sadly the Nexus 6P is not one of them.

You can refer to their website for the list of compatible phones and apps.
[Nexus 6P General] arunkr:
Oh man, that's sucks.. Any other app or mod which can be used for the same??

My phone got bent a little. I know it's my mistake. I should have been more careful. But can I go to Huawei for replacement? Anybody had such experience?

Meanwhile if anyone have suggestion for any "bent-resisting" case? Spigen Rugged Armour was on when bent issue happened.
[Nexus 6P General] Amolecule:
You can try and use Automate car dashboard - it will not be able to replicate your mirrorlink experience but it is a good alternative for car mode on your phone.

Check out this thread to know more about mirrorlink - http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/help/mirror-link-nexus-6p-t3272524/page2

Unfortunately I havent found any way to make mirrorlink compatible with 6p. The only way would be to try your luck with miracast. The steps have been given in the thread above. You can try casting your screen to Balenos HU. You will need a rooted phone, root explorer and build.prop editor.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
LOL! You expect Huawei to replace a phone you've damaged? They don't cover physical damage under the warranty.

Ask them for a repair quote.
[Nexus 6P General] edios123:
I got my replacement phone. This phone heats equally like the previous one and the phone absolutely sucks to be honest. If I can't play a simple game for 10 minutes before of heats up enough to boil water,then what's the purpose of this SMARTphone? I can't even watch a few short videos/browse the internet without it getting uncomfortable to touch at the top of the screen.

And the display is tooooo yellow.

Should I try again for a replacement or is it how the phone was made?
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
I live in Delhi and its quite hot being lately but my phone is just fine i mean yes it does get hot but not that much that i can't use it and it only happens when I'm outside direct in the sun and doing something extensive

While I'm indoors and i do play graphic intensive games it's just warm and not that hot as much your telling

I think the display calibration is little towards warm side but honestly i never cared for that as i use custom kernel with color profile

I think you should get a placement again

Cheers
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
If it's the display that's causing you grief then get another replacement or use another kernel.

If it's heat then just grin and bear it coz the SD 810 is infamous for thermal issues. Nothing you can do about it.
[Nexus 6P General] edios123:
I can adjust with the display with a custom kernel. But the heat. Nobody else seems to have the problem I'm having.

Now I was just using Facebook (app) and WhatsApp (very light usage imo) and the top part of the screen got very warm (uncomfortable, though not HOT). And as I said, any game for 10 min and it's very uncomfortable to touch (impossible for calls because it might burn my face). .

I got the second phone with December 1 patch. Previous one was November made.

btw, I never used full stock with my phone. Rooted/flashed custom ROM/kernel since day 1 with both phones, in case that matters.

EDIT: One more problem is that (I can adjust with that too), at low brightness, the whites and blacks becomes purple. I know this is a problem with older AMOLED tech and my X 2014 had this problem. But my Note 4 didn't. This phone is supposed to have a better display than the Note 4. I don't remember correctly if my previous phone had the same. Please confirm.
[Nexus 6P General] Rahulrulez:
Is it only me who didn't get the May update yet?
[Nexus 6P General] varunrramani:
Even I haven't got it yet.
[Nexus 6P General] sahirhussain:
count me in. still waiting. i had a note 5 before and it was the same with it. i'd get updates in the last few remaining days of the month.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Ask for a replacement
[Nexus 6P General] edios123:
What about the white/blacks becoming pink/purple at lowest brightness? Does that happen to you too>?
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
I currently use custom kernel

But when on purely stock i mean when i took it right from the box no purples or like that but display was calibrated warm and yellow tint at lowest Brightness

But with custom kernel no prob :)
[Nexus 6P General] edios123:
See the pictures. Redmi Note 3 and 6S Plus for comparison.

Look at how yellow the screen of the 6P is. It is slightly fixable with a custom kernel. But still it's warm compared to others.

Second and third picture - see the pink hue at low brightness? Is it only me or it's the same for everybody else?

P.S: Sorry for the low quality images; were take in a hurry.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
You will never get pure whites like that on an IPS panel on an AMOLED panel. Warmer whites and pinkish display on low brightness are a part and parcel of AMOLED displays. And don't compare the AMOLED display with Samsung's phones as they use higher binned panels and sell the lowered binned ones to OEMs.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
I'd still say ask for the replacement
[Nexus 6P General] edios123:
I thought those pinkish display was a part of older AMOLED tech. Comm'on this is a 2015 end phone!

I can't recall if my previous phone did the same. So asked.

Does you device do the same (pinkish at low brightness)? Cos if yes, I can cite that as a reason.

So far it's been a horrible experience buying this product. It's been almost 2 months since I bought and I haven't used it properly yet.

And the battery, I feel the previous one was better. I got 6hr 45 min SOT on stock plus AK. Now it's only like 5:30 MAX. Averages 5.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
I say after reading about the issues here i am lucky i got it right the first time but that's maybe because of the fresh batch i got it on jan23 from flipkart and since then no issues whatsoever

I think whats the main reason is i have the special edition gold one

Cheers :cowboy:
[Nexus 6P General] edios123:
You're indeed lucky.

But you haven't answered my question yet. Do you have the low brightness pinkish display issue too?

I'm thankful I got the 32GB only. I can't think of paying a single rupee more than what I paid for this (33.6k) crap. It's been that horrible till now. I had to visit the service centre which is 90km from my home multiple times. :| :(

i'm planning to pick up a 2nd hand 6p for now, need a phone urgently but i dnt think it makes sense to buy a new one so close to the launch of a 2016 nexus, ill pick up a new one then .. what are the things i should look out for before finalizing a 2nd hand phone ? i'm getting one for 24k and 25k for 64gb model black color, date of purchase jan 2016 from flipkart
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
I already did bro

On Complete stock i would say there was some pink tint but it was only visible if i go looking for it. You know what i mean :D

Custom kernel and no probs ;)
[Nexus 6P General] edios123:
If the phone looks good, then get it. No doubt it's the absolute best phone for that price. Unless you want the Mi5.

Okay.so that's not a defect..

What I found is that, when Yureka (another phone in my home) heats up to 50-55C it feels cooler than my 6P. My 6P would get significantly hotter at that temp. particularly the screen.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
That's because of the amoled screen

Just ask for a replacement you have way too many issues
[Nexus 6P General] shriom_manerker:
ive checked out the phone. thanks bro but oddly i was disappointed. im running 6.0.1 custom rom on my lg g2 which is equally fast as the 6p, has IR blaster, better camera partly (has ois makes a huge difference for the videos). frankly it doesnt seem worth it paying 35k for a smartphone which seems to be heating up for many people out there and man my g2 heats up like crazy, cpu temp hits 80*C i dont think the 810 will run that hot right ? i live in goa warm climate.. seems like ill only be paying 36k for dual front facing speakers, updates (sadly no support for seamless updates for current lineups i heard), and the slow motion recordings. well thats it right ? im even going to loose 24 bit audio dac that my g2 supports . does the 6p support high res audio ?

after reading this im even having second thoughts of ever buying the phone :\ now i dont know what to do. i guess ill wait for the price to dro pto sub 25k and then get it. (i noticed the nxus 6 was at 25k just before it was discontinued )

[Nexus 6P General] nickporwal:
Using the phone since November end. No prob of heat. Earlier the display was somewhat pinkish but now its ok. I am using custom kernel. So i hv changed the display profile. Now its cooler temp like opo. Also its having one of the best camera especially using hdr+. Nexus is best if you want regular updates. Also i like the vysor. It looks cool. Nothing matches the smoothness of nexus. I hv tried s7 in showroom. It was not that smooth.

When can we expect Price drops in SG S7 Edge
[Nexus 6P General] edios123:
Well, I might be the one with the odd experience. But let me tell you straight, if my device doesn't overheat, I'd say it's a really great device! Obviously, it won't be to the point how the S7 Edge is, as an overall device. But it's still certainly one of the best phones out there.

Camera for photos is really good (not for videos though, lack of OIS as you mentioned).

BTW, if DAC is important, I gotta tell you, DAC in this phone is mediocre.

S7 Edge won't have a quick price drop. Just look at the S6 Edge/Plus.

Display is crisp, though the yellow tint is really very noticeable when you compare it with any other device, side by side.

Go for Nexus 6P if you're getting a good deal, like for 33K or down. S7 Edge is almost like 20k+.

Should I or Shouldn't I?

Hi fellow desi 6P users!

So I'm on the fence about purchasing the 6P, cause my M8 has lived for a long time now. I have a few questions, hope y'all can answer:

I'm planning to get the 64GB Aluminum from Amazon. Any better deals?

NCR guys: How hot does this phone go indoors and outdoors these days in the heat?

Does anyone have phone insurance? From where? Cost?

Is the stock camera app good enough? Or do you go for 3rd Party apps for the camera?

NCR Guys: Have you tried their service centre (in NCR) and after sales service? How good/bad is it?
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
If your current phone can be used for a few more months I say wait for the new Nexuses.
[Nexus 6P General] kkapoorr:
I can't. I am planning to purchase in June 1st week. I am waiting for the Oneplus 3, but that doesn't excite me yet.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Out of OP3 and Nexus 6P I would select the latter anyday.
[Nexus 6P General] kkapoorr:
Same here mate.

Can you help with the other questions?
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
1. Amazon and Flipkart are the safest options and price is the same at both places. Try at some offline retailers like Chroma; they may have some deals or some bundled freebies.

2. Not from NCR but I can safely say you dont' need to worry about the heat generation at all. Huawei and Google has done a great job at taming the Snap'dragon' 810 :P It does get warm but it is quite comfortable.

3. I have never taken insurance for any of my phones, so no idea.

4. Stock camera app is good enough. I have tried a lot of free and paid third party camera apps but always go back to stock camera app due to the simplicity of use.

5. I'm not from NCR so can't comment.

Btw, you are kkapoorr on IBF too right? :D

[Nexus 6P General] edios123:
I'm a former M8 user. I suggest you to wait for the next Nexus.

I'm from Kerala. This phone gets too hot very quickly. I'm currently on my 2nd device. Will have to try another replacement too. My friend's S6 Edge didn't heat even close to what my 6P did, under the same usage and at the time when the device gets to hit the hottest - camera.

Camera is amazing sometimes. 'Sometimes' is because it's inconsistent. And the lack of exposure compensation. Otherwise amazing!

I'm waiting for the OnePlus 3 or the Mi5 64GB. This SD 810 is very slow (after the device gets hot, which happens so quickly.).

Bought this for my mother, just temporarily using it until I get a new one. She doesn't game at all. So this phone should last at least a couple of years without any hiss. With the dual front speakers, watching videos are really good. M8's is slightly more bassier or punchier, but the 6P is louder. With V4A, 6P>M8.

And battery is exactly what I used to get with the M8.
