Was just making a general observation!

Was in no way implying Dhruv or you weren't civil on the phone. Sorry if it came out that way.

In any case, quality control tends to become a pain point in scenarios like this. You don't have the brightest people taking your call, and I'm assuming the lesser the returns an area accepts, the better it is for them.

I know a few OEMs who reward their people for debiting suppliers. Not sure on what model FK works.

Amazon on the other hand has a beautiful no questions asked policy. Haven't come across a better service than theirs. Only wish 6P was exclusive to them instead of Flipkart. :P

Nonetheless, sorry for going OT. Hope you get perfectly working replacements!
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
Yes. When you have a defective product to deal with, it does become a headache of sorts. And yes - Amazon has a great policy. But considering how the general Indian B & M store policies are, I'd say we are lucky to have FK have a policy and honor it.
[Nexus 6P General] ananbanka:
True that!
[Nexus 6P General] laemo:
Any pointers on returns? Obviously have to keep everything intact before giving it back, but are they okay with accessories taken out of the packaging, etc?
[Nexus 6P General] sriraviprasad:
SOT during first cycle
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
Nope. They need the entire package with all accessories in it.
[Nexus 6P General] sriraviprasad:
What abt the Huawei cover provided? Do we need to return that also
[Nexus 6P General] laemo:
No I get we need to send everything back, but can we take the cable for example out of the plastic packaging/casing? Also the cover that keeps the box sealed, that'd also be removed while unboxing, but I am guessing FK won't be fussy about that.
[Nexus 6P General] sriraviprasad:
How much time it takes to charge 100%?
[Nexus 6P General] Dbj.Dhaval:
Is the replacement done simultaneously ie u give old device and get replaced one

Having speakers issue. Put the phone between shoulder and ear and other person can't hear a thing
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
I could not agree with you more.

Though Amazon has a generous policy, I have always had FK honor theirs which is more than I can say for some of the larger stores here in India.

Considering they take a face value and your word of a device being bad, and gladly either refund or replace it, its truly a respectful thing they do.

Certainly there are a lot of people who exploit it, and in some ways we are as well, but in all fairness, we are doing it to ensure we receive what we have paid for.

RMA's are expensive to everyone, Google, Huawei, FK and us for having to spend time waiting for the package and returning it. Someone is paying for it being sent back, tested, wiped / repaired and repackaged.

Perhaps my discussion with Sultan of Speed got things sidetracked, but I guess we are all in agreement that we need better devices to be in our hands.

P.S - I hope Apple makes the next Nexus. :D:D:D

JUST KIDDING... Or Am I ???:p

------

My 3rd replacement - Just charged it to 100% from 0% and it took 86 minutes.

Not bad considering it charges 1% in less than a minute.

The replacement is done as an "Hand to Hand" exchange, they will verifiy the IMEI and the package contents of the previous device, match it to the one stated for them to take back. Give you the entire package, make you sign and be on their merry way.

Just some advice, open the box to see you got the free case. It would suck to send back the case if a new one isnt included.
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
Just keep everything handy....in case things get fussy. FK isn't fussy....but you never know if the courier boy gets fussy....you don't want a courier boy upsetting your replacement plans.

Okay. No more discussion.

Good night.

PS: Let Google subcontract it to Apple. This way, Google still calls the shots.

I am also having the issue of the second person not able to hear my voice when i hold them with my shoulders & i love to multi task at times.

Is anyone else facing the same issue ?
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
have had no issues... even dropped my phone once in my kitchen.... turns out stirring maggi and talking to my mom on what masala to add is not my deal... :p

good thing is i had the poetic affinity case on... this thing is protecting my phone

Can someone suggest a good screen guard/ tampered glass and a back cover..
[Nexus 6P General] Abhinav 'SoaP' Sukumar:
Hello Forum :D

First post so be kind :p

Having gone through two replacements of the G64 from flipkart with the first having a yellow tinted display and the second having a pink line running across the edge and finally settling for a refund, I discovered that this forum is a great place to meet kindred spirits.

So I just wanted to know when play store is going to start selling the 6p hopefully with all the wrinkles ironed out and if anybody has a december built nexus 6p..

Both of mine were the 11/11 build.

Totally agree with the fantasizing about amazon selling the nexus 6p. Flipkart returns are a pain in the backside.

---------- Post added at 03:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 AM ----------

IMO the Spigen rugged armor is one hell of a case as on top of being one of the few cases that doesn't block the laser autofocus it makes finding the fingerprint sensor so much easier. Also happens to be quite grippy. The carbon fiber textures are cool as heck too. :)
[Nexus 6P General] sriraviprasad:
This is a known bug. Hopefully will be resolved in future updae
[Nexus 6P General] Sy24:
Could you get an update from your friend about when sales are going to start on the Google Store?

When I call they still say 3-4 weeks.
[Nexus 6P General] darshanbangre:
How is the slim case from spigen ??
[Nexus 6P General] arunkr:
Anyone using Moto turbo charger with their N6p, If so how much faster is it compared to the stock charger and from where did u buy it.?....
[Nexus 6P General] Dbj.Dhaval:
This is a mic issue how come it can be resolved through update
[Nexus 6P General] sriraviprasad:
This issue may be related to noise cancellation of course if this is a hardware issue it cant be resolved by software update
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
It will be slower.

The Stock charger will give off 3 amps, which is what Rapid charging is.

Plus, Type C allows more current flow, and standard USB adapters will restrict that. You will essentially be downgrading it if you think a "Turbo Charger" will be faster.

Speaking from experience of course.

Verified working here after 6.0.1 update https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3vzx17/callers_can_now_hear_when_phone_is_held_on/
[Nexus 6P General] ananbanka:
He hasn't been updated on that. Checked with him yesterday.

Funny enough, Zauba shows only 10 pieces of 6P being imported into Bombay.

I'll definitely let you know if I get any info. :)

Maybe, it'll be a good Christmas! Although, FK is having a massive sales b/w 21-23 Dec, you might want to keep an eye on that too!
[Nexus 6P General] Abhinav 'SoaP' Sukumar:
The thin fit is a nice case too. You get lesser bulk as opposed to the rugged case. All corners are protected so you will survive a short drop. :p The sides are raised slightly so you can definitely lay it flat on a table without the screen touching anything. The case seems to be grippy and the cutouts are quite big so you don't need to worry about compatibility with large aux cables or type-c chargers.

Definitely worth buying if you aren't too concerned about maximum protection.
[Nexus 6P General] arunkr:
As far i could gather, moto turbocharger gives more voltage output, but ~1.6A whereas N6p charger gives 3A, but lesser voltage(i think 5v)
[Nexus 6P General] sriraviprasad:
Can someone compare thickness of spigen rugged case to thin case?
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
You should get the dimensions on the website. I use the rugged case. Well, it's seems pretty svelte by comparison to the Spigen Slim Armor that's on my Nexus 6, and hardly what I'd call 'rugged'.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Mind sharing the color profile?
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
Just spoke to Flipkart. Apparently I have crossed the 3 timed replacement policy (this is my third phone). So they have denied my replacement request. They'll refund the amount to me.

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

Was just wondering if anyone has any idea if the Dec batch of phones have arrived. If yes, perhaps the issue does not exist with the Dec batch phones.
[Nexus 6P General] sriraviprasad:
All the phones you received has the same amount of tint?

I don't want to take refund bcoz I exchanged my N4 and will receive coupons of 10k. Discounts and other offers couldn't be availed if you are paying by coupons.

Also, would there be discount/offers when the product is available through google store?
[Nexus 6P General] abhikul:
Received my graphite 32GB today from flipkart. No complaints so far, got a perfect device. Month of import is november. :)
[Nexus 6P General] sriraviprasad:
Thats great. My replacement is coming tomorrow.

Using kernel auditor

Red 182

Green 190

Rest stock.

If you feel its too much bluish then make blue as 220.

I got this from the thread in applications section.
[Nexus 6P General] Abhinav 'SoaP' Sukumar:
Haha.. Yes it's quite the looker isn't it? :p But I did drop it once in my (glorious) one week with the 6p and it didn't leave any marks so kudos to spigen on getting that rugged part right without making the case look like a frickin' tank. Also check out spigen's official site.. They seem to be be getting the neo hybrid case ready to drop and it looks quite amazing from the pictures alone. :D

[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
No. Not the same amounts of tint. Varying amounts spread across various areas.
[Nexus 6P General] Vn4:
I've noticed that every now and again my phone disconnects from the WiFi network. I have to toggle WiFi off and then back on for it to connect again.

When it's disconnected and I go into settings I can still see the connection as saved but it won't connect even if I hit on the connect option.

This issue is only at home, whereas it works fine with my office network.

Is this a software issue on the phone?
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
Try factory resetting your router at home & then re-configuring it.
[Nexus 6P General] r_c111:
I m case less. Have ordered a sleeve for my phone. I dont prefer cases. Just tempered glass on top.

Where do u review bro ?

I had the same issue with my vodafone dongle. Restarted it and worked perfectly fine. May be you CSN try resetting your router.
[Nexus 6P General] Vn4:
Will give it a try tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P General] SpiritBreak3r:
I had this Moto G2 which was lying in the closet for months, saw the Product exchange value bump its value upto 9k, I immediately bought N6P. Moto G2 for 9k? Shut up and take my money!!

PS: Only concern I have is, this is my first phone without external memory and internal is only 32Gigs. My music library is pretty extensive, It's probably the time setup a DIY NAS and schedule a backup+delete pictures week/month basis.

PS2: Also have to invest on portable DAC+AMP(Yea, Wolfson couldn't drive my XB920/MDR-10RNC) w/ power bank. My eyes are on FIIO E18, It would be helpful if someone tipped in. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] mihir2035:
Need that official case

Guys, does anybody know where can I find that Google Nexus Official Case for our beloved 6P? I so badly want that beautiful case.

Been looking for that over a month now... :(
[Nexus 6P General] praveen6585:
Hi guys,

I had preordered for the Nexus 6P and had ordered for an Orange Coloured Slickwrap as well (https://slickwraps.com/color-series-wraps-skins-for-nexus-6p.html). While the Slickwrap got shipped and delivered, there were endless delays with the shipment on the Nexus 6P. I lost my patience, canceled the Nexus 6P order and went for the Note 5 instead.

I had paid around INR 850 for the Slickwrap which was on sale that time (which is retailing now for more than double of that including shipping). I dont want to cheat anyone about the price so I have attached the bill here as well. Anyone interested in taking it (preferably from Mumbai)?
[Nexus 6P General] kooljainatul:
is it necessary to lock the bootloader and restore factory software, before exchange of nexus 5 with nexus 6p from flipkart
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:

[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Got my 4th replacement, no different, same pink tint on top.

A64 - Build 11/11/15 same as last time.
[Nexus 6P General] kooljainatul:
dear dhruv

can you post some pic

as i have ordered a new 6p and wanted to check for defects, your pic will be really helpful
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Looks like we two are in a contest here :p

I've just ordered my 4th phone, a silver one this time, previous three were gray. Will get it by tomorrow, hope that too have the pink hue, so that we can keep the game going ;)

Of all these disappointments, I must say Flipkart and it's delivery guys are extremely professionals. My refund request was approved today at 12.30 PM and the pick up guy was at my doorstep at 12.55 PM. :good::good: I got the refund credited to my wallet at around 2.15 PM.
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Silver 64GB?

I can promise you it will have the pink tint. Its the 11/11/15 batches and each one of those has the issues. My buddy just got the A64 11/1//15 batch and guess what, with the SAME EXACT PINK SPOT.

Got pissed off with FK, they said go to customer service center and show them, blah blah. Used my tactics, called a few times and got through with the Aurangabad call center office (Indore is also very good) and did that Smart Check app crap, hit NO and took my refund.

Even if a replacement did come in, I am sure it will be 11/11/15 batch. I read here that people with Graphite 64gb didnt have issues so was planning to get that.

Need another phone asap so I think ill go with the iPhone 6s Plus 64GB instead. Dont know if and when the display issues will be resolved with the Nexus 6p.

Thinking OnePlus Two, but my OCD makes me not want an inferior device with running Lollipop (Unofficial builds of 6.0 are plagued with issues).

NO WAY SAMSH!T phones again.

Suggestions?
[Nexus 6P General] SpiritBreak3r:
Eh... Sony Z5/Z5 Premium?
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
I am thinking getting something for the time-being (low priced, wait till Jan and get the 6P again.)

Thoughts on a decent mid tier device? Unless Sultan & inimaitimepass can talk me into trying again on the 6p.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Rant! Rant! Rant!

Thats pretty damn encouraging :D

May be right. Actually my third phone was quite okay. With adaptive brightness on and brightness set at around 75%, it was okay, but I cant get it off my mind that it still had the pink hue.

I'm (smart)phone-less right now. I looked around several times looking for other options and I think no phone other than iP6+ or iP6S+ can replace the N6P. I don't like iOS ---lake of customization--- which is a deal breaker. But I gotta admit, their hardware is pure gem. Looks like anything that comes out of apple is shear quality, Even if they s**t, that too has some quality I guess. At least they take customers experience and satisfaction darn seriously.

I still have a wee bit of hope and wanted to try A32 and G32 if the next A64 a pinky, before saying goodbye to this marvel. But Wifey is already upset that I'm so much into buying, replacing phones again and again, ignoring other important things in the past couple of weeks. She wants me to keep the phone accepting its flaw or ditch it altogether. I still love this phone, but definitely it made a huge dent to my nexus love.

Hope, I'll get a perfect phone, worthy of all these struggles.

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

Yeah sure, lets dive into 32gig's, to find a pearl! ;):D

P.S. The guy who came to pick up the phone today (same guy for previous pickups too) we are friends now, and he too suggested to buy an iPhone instead!!!
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Check Your PM.
[Nexus 6P General] sriraviprasad:
Received the replacement today. The screen has very slight pink tint but has good whites too. Sometimes it looks fine and sometimes it looks a bit worrysome.

Until I compared with another phone, I thought everything was okay.

Overall, I feel happy with this device.
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Mostly all the devices being received are the "Almost OK" or "Slight" tint ones.

I cannot get my mind to accept a "Almost" or "Slight" defect.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Crank the brightness up a bit. You will be all good.

Build date?
[Nexus 6P General] SpiritBreak3r:
I was on the same boat, I got the oneplus X for the time being. Well Oxygen OS is/was shieeet but the I got the X coz of the AMOLED. With all the bugs fixed, dev is soon going to release a stable build 12.1 build and he even claimed he'll work on cm13.

PS: I have the Aluminum 32GB N6P. No pink tints but slightly yellow-ish. Similar build date 11/11/15. Waiting for my Spigen Clear Case and the Tempered Glass. I don't want to get mushy on it's screen. Then do a burn-in test to both oneplus x and n6p screens to visually compare if there's any issue. They both are cheap AMOLED screens (proof from jerryrigeverything's youtube channel)

And please don't get the OP2, your OCD might be right on this one. I highly regret getting it for my mum.
[Nexus 6P General] r_c111:
On my 6p, there is a very slight amount of yellow tint, but its uniform and doesn't bother me. Infact i feel yellow is soothing to my eyes so i dont mind. Rest no major issues as such. Happy with this device. My note5 screen was more yellowish & guess AMOLED screen have these issues to some extent.
[Nexus 6P General] Vn4:
Is there any tint on this?
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Yellow or greenish white is okay, it was the case with my S2. Even the pink is okay as long as it is uniform across. It is the mixture of pink and greenish white that bothers much. I tried various color profiles, but they exposed the pink even more.

I'm almost certain that 11/11 batches are *****es. I should have stuck with my original decision to buy the phone in Jan'16. Patience, damn it.

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

To me, there is no pink hue.

Color, storage capacity and build date?

Is this a Nexus6P Indian XDA users thread or some random WhatsApp Group of negative feedback people pushing their opinions. It's like if I faced this issue, others should also face it.

Yes there has been a screen tint issue with Nexus6P and I was among the first ones to report and take a replacement in first week of November. But this continuous discussion is making people look into issues even to those who didn't have any before visiting this thread.

Nexus was supposed to be for a limited crowd of people who understand the subject and these people are mostly quiet or laughing reading all these chat type threads.

I wish the mods ban any screen tint issues here and divert them to some other thread where display issue is being discussed as for a few people there have been hardly any NEXUS development related discussions here.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
This is what you did when you were facing the issue:

We are also doing the same I guess. Your's was a lone battle at that time, now we are a bunch of guys doing the same. We didn't discourage anybody to not to buy the phone. And we are facing the issue for real and I don't think there is nothing wrong in discussing about it. Personally for me, it was your post that made me aware of the pink tint issue. If I remember correctly, you advised me to not to order the phone at all.

I'm not trying to demean you, but just like your post made me aware of the issue, our posts too might help someone in someway. Or to the least, we will get some solace after all.

I hope you take it in good spirit.
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
I was under the impression that this was a thread for buyers / potential buyers of the Nexus 6p available in India. The discussion here is subjected to the good, bad and ugly of user experiences.

A thread is not subjectively limited to only addressing the positives of the device, but also its flaws or setbacks. Sure discussions here may be sidetracked by discussing other devices, but thats all part of how a forum functions.

If the opinions here sway potential purchases then it is for a reason; manufacturer defects should also be highlighted in addition to how the purchase experience has been through the retailer. It may inadvertently save another fellow enthusiast from obtaining a device from a specific batch or a retailer, causing them heartache at the end.
[Nexus 6P General] pxdx:
Don't take me wrong, just a few post is ok but too much of anything isn't healthy. There was a point in this thread where it was just left to declare that all 11/11/2015 build devices are defective. There is a difference between XDA and a Facebook group and I just hope that you guys don't extend it way too much.

Can't blame you really, if I were in your place for the 1st time I would also have reacted the same way after following this thread closely.
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
Just cause you had your fill of the pink tint issue....does not mean others cannot talk about it. Like someone mentioned earlier, you brought out the pink tint issue first....that made others look for it. Now that you have a device that's fixed all your tint issue, does it mean others shouldn't discuss about it at all? And because your issues are fixed, you find this topic annoying & negative?
