Using a matte black-no nexus skin from dbrand. One word, Excellent :good::good::good:.

I preferred no nexus cutout skin coz it is so easy to mess the application with nexus cuts and letters. It also conceals the branding and make people asking about the phone every time ;)

Get it directly from their site. It ill reach in 2 to 3 weeks.

Another thing, If you order the camera protection as well, they will ship it in 2 sizes. Apply both of them.

I used S7 edge for a week as my primary phone I got very frustrated using it with the edge display and Samsung UI switched back to my Nexus 6p but I had to say it was a sexy looking phone
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Try being completely stock for few days.
[Nexus 6P General] arunkr:
Hi guys, can you send me links to buy otg cable?.. I bought 2 USB c adapters but none of them detects my pen drives or HDD. Google play store doesn't have them in stock... Also just out of curiosity, how much was the cost from the play store?..
[Nexus 6P General] bala_gamer:
thanks a lot , i hope it protects the device from minor bumps as well :)

same dp, different name, i think we met somewhere else before :laugh:
[Nexus 6P General] edios123:
I doubt the ROM and kernel is the issue. Now I'm running PureNexus + AK kernel. Just now tried Antutu again in an AC room after the phone was completely cool. And I got just 79k! This is real disappointing. I never run benchmarks, but this time I had to.

In case the phone is defective, any idea how many days will they take to replace the phone?
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
If it is within the returns period the whole process shouldn't take more than a week.
[Nexus 6P General] eddy4823:
Hey guys, looking forward to buy this phone from Amazon/flipkart. Are there any manufacturing defects in Nexus 6p? Also suggest me some good cases for this phone.

[Nexus 6P General] bala_gamer:
not in person , in some other forum , defenitely a samsung one i remember :good:
[Nexus 6P General] edios123:
I don't think the seller would accept returns because it's under manufacturer warranty.

My screen is too yellow, but I've adjusted using Kernel Auditor. Are the newer batches of corrected screen?
[Nexus 6P General] mihir2035:
Here, I bought this one. Works A-Okay for me.

Hope it helps. :)
[Nexus 6P General] vd1900:
Yea Bala so many times in note 5 or 4 I remember and even during S5 Indian threads

I just sold my S7 edge today for 50K was just not comfortable with the edge screen I think it just looks good functionality wise it does not add anything apart from shortcuts
[Nexus 6P General] roofrider:
What does CheckR say about it?
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Well personally i too use a color profile

I think the issue was with the earlier batches

Also i haven't heard anyone with the gold special edition with the issue

I too own the gold one and no issues

Cheers ?

Has anyone bought this original nexus 6p case from eBay this particular seller is selling at unbelievable low price but not sure if it is original
[Nexus 6P General] mihir2035:
Well, the seller says that this product has passed the Google tests. Honestly I haven't had any issues.

So far, I've connected my mouse, gamepad, used OTG for making my 6P as the DSLR camera monitor, connected external HDD and flash drives - perfectly fine!
[Nexus 6P General] ayush84:
nope, this is a first copy. Has been around for some time.
[Nexus 6P General] percy5911:
any otg cable which has usb C to micro USB???? im personally searching for that kind of a otg..
[Nexus 6P General] mihir2035:
Found this on Amazon. Reviews and the rest look pretty much okay.

You could check it out.
[Nexus 6P General] percy5911:
the reviews are not that good... most of the people are finding it tight and for some it dosent even work..
[Nexus 6P General] abhipc:
I bought this a couple of weeks ago... Really good quality and fits the 6P perfectly... Only problem I face with it is the power & Volume button feedback isn't great... Otherwise very very happy with it

I doubt if it is original, but comes in the same packaging as the original & looks & feels exactly like the original one
[Nexus 6P General] arunkr:
Ordered it, I hope this works..:D
[Nexus 6P General] percy5911:
even ive just placed a order for the same!!!!! lets hope for a speedy delivery!!!!!!

Did any one try connecting Hard disk above 1 TB to Nexus 6P ?
[Nexus 6P General] aniketkuber:
Did u order it from Amazon India.. Right now dbrand back skins are at Rs 499
[Nexus 6P General] mihir2035:
My Sony 1TB hard disk is indeed detected by the 6P. And it works perfectly fine. However, got a pop-up saying "the Sony had drive you've attached is not in the supported format". Don't know what's happening here!

Anyway, attached a screenshot for your reference.
[Nexus 6P General] drmuralinath:
Yes I did order dbrand from amazon.

It detected my 1.5 TB Seagate hard disk but it takes a lot of time
[Nexus 6P General] percy5911:
this could be because the HDD is in NTFS format and phone rectifies only FAT32... has the same issue in my note2.... try using a NTFS mounter and try again...you will need a rooted phone..... plzz post back the update if it works or not!!!!:p
[Nexus 6P General] arunkr:
Got the otg cable, can confirm thats its working quite good, im using my 1TB HDD with ease..woohoo..:D
[Nexus 6P General] aniketkuber:
Guys how are skinnova skins? Planning to order one. How is the quality.
[Nexus 6P General] drmuralinath:
Heard it's good, but when dbrand skins are available for same price in Amazon why to go for skinnova !
[Nexus 6P General] abhipc:
So I somehow managed to crack my screen. It dropped screen first on the ground and despite having an intelliarmor TGSP the screen cracked. The main impact point was on the speaker cutout corner at the bottom. I had the official Nexus 6P case but guess the impact was on the weakest part of the screen.

It is working perfectly fine. The phone fell in the morning around 9:30 and I've used it till I got home about 5 mins ago. So about 7 hours of heavy use. Touchscreen is working as it should.

I called Huawei support but they said the service centre is closed on Sunday. They said they will do the screen replacement but need to see the phone for an estimate.

Anyone else had this problem, can someone tell me how much it cost them?
[Nexus 6P General] aniketkuber:
Agreed but dbrand on Amazon does not come with side skin.. Also I wanted to customize it.. Anyways I have ordered it.. Costed 630 except front.. Let's c how it goes...
[Nexus 6P General] drmuralinath:
Video on You tube is pausing in between. Do anyone else facing it ?
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Do share your experience and which one exactly you ordered?
[Nexus 6P General] aniketkuber:
Sure... I ordered a black carbon Fibre back and sides with red camera and a white nexus logo..
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Can you tell from where you ordered?
[Nexus 6P General] aniketkuber:
There official site.. Gadgetshieldz.in.. There u can customize them and also there is an additional 10% discount..
[Nexus 6P General] shriom_manerker:
for those like me who are waiting for aprice drop to buy this phone ITS HAPPENING ! 6p 32 gb available on flipkart for 36,500 rs :D , ill get it once it hits 30k

http://www.flipkart.com/nexus-6p/p/...358456&srno=p_3&query=6p&otracker=from-search
[Nexus 6P General] Chillz88:
I am getting one tomorrow. Played with one yesterday. Totally confused on whether to get the graphite or aluminium one. Not into gold phones. Aluminium has flashier edges and a prominent nexus logo, but the black seems subtle with the visor and would look sexier in dark wallpapers with that amoled screen. I hate having to choose.lol.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Black will get scratches easily no matter how well you baby the phone, especially the chamfered edges.
[Nexus 6P General] drmuralinath:
With 4G On.. Hardly getting 3 hrs SOT.. ??

What about you guys ?

Can we expect any improvements with future updates ?
[Nexus 6P General] abhipc:
UPDATE:

I visited the Service Center on Bund Garden road in Pune.

They said the screen will be replaced. I have to pay 14308 for a replacement. The entire screen assembly needs to be changed.

Very pleasant experience at the service center... Only challenge I had was that I have to go to a couple of places because I didn't have a physical copy of the bill & warranty card
[Nexus 6P General] Chillz88:
Which one do you have? Is the aluminium one holding up?

Does anyone having the gray version notice your phone getting scratched? Hows it holding for you?
[Nexus 6P General] vijai2011:
Would you guys prefer dbrand carbon black or wood mahogany? I'm having tuff time to choose between both
[Nexus 6P General] arunkr:
I have a black carbon fiber on mine, it looks amazing. But mahogany will also look good, and carbon will be more common compared to mahogany. So wood will look more exclusive. Otherwise just buy both.. And check..:D..
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
I have a gray version and there are no issues. Of course I use a Spigen case. IMO any dark colour that's either anodised, powder coat or paint is more prone to visible scratches - applies to cars as well.

Nothing to worry about. It's all a matter of choice. If you like the grey like I do go ahead and buy it. Just be a little more careful about handling it.
[Nexus 6P General] arunkr:
Not just scratches, black is very easily smudged by dirt, oil from hands etc, aluminum has that same look throughout..but if u r a fan of the slightly less shiny look go for black..but IMO silver looks much more premium with that super shine from the chamfered edges..
[Nexus 6P General] abhisheak.bansal:
Hi, I am kind of confused between 6p or s7 edge. I love to multitask and hate when the apps closes. S7E looks dope has all the features that I need but I have doubt regarding its multitasking abilities and quick android updates/dev support.

So please advice, as I have heard 6p have its own fare shate of issues with bad screen and ****ty headphones jack to low SoT.

Can anyone shed some light on genuine SoT with always 4G on. Also, how bad or good is the output with headphone jack.

Please no Fanboy answer, only a genuine advice as I buy phone with long term prospective of at least 2 years.
[Nexus 6P General] Salim Zhulkhrni:
any idea on where the official huawei wall charger can be bought for nexus 6p ? google store displays the unit as unavailable.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Aluminum!

I slapped a dbrand matte black skin on the back. So no worries about scratches on the back. Tried using the phone without a case, but managed to get a tiny ding on the chamfered edge. So, now using the phone with the pre-bundled case which IMO is THE BEST case of all. Other than that not even a single scratch anywhere.
[Nexus 6P General] vijai2011:
That's what I too thought. It would look different. But carbon fibre always has it's class. Anyway going for mahogany this time. May be carbon fibre next time
[Nexus 6P General] arunkr:
Dont forget to share the pic
[Nexus 6P General] Chillz88:
Got me a graphite one. It looks so good. Downloaded a few songs and some 'better call Saul' episodes for entertaining myself on my flight today.

I installed apps like phonograph for music and MX for videos. I noticed that these apps doesn't recognize the mp3 files or the video files in the downloads folder unless it's moved to the 'music' or 'movie' folder. Anyone have this problem? I tried changing the folder location to be scanned to 'downloads' and it still showed empty.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Give the apps permission to access storage

I use phonograph and mine works fine

[Nexus 6P General] abhipc:
Got my phone with a replacement screen

UPDATE:

Got my phone yesterday in the evening. I'm impressed with the way Huawei Service Center handled everything.

They made a reminder call that the phone is due to be done today and that they have got the part

After the replacement was done, they did some tests and again called me to let me know all done

They charged the phone to 100% and kept it in a nice foam package & wrapped in bubble wrap

My wife wen to pick it up, they showed her the IMEI to ensure it's the same phone and also did some tests in front of her

Only gripe I have is they don't accept card payments so if you don't have cash and want to pay through credit card, you're kinda screwed

Overall a very pleasant experience unlike what I've read everywhere on Social Media & Forums. Hope this isn't just this one service center and Huawei keeps the standard high across all Service Centers

PS: this Service center manages multiple brands viz. Lenovo, Huawei, HP, Nokia etc.
[Nexus 6P General] mihir2035:
Thank you very much for covering the entire journey. However, I feel 14K is a pretty big amount!
[Nexus 6P General] abhipc:
It is indeed a big amount. Considering the only damage I had was on the glass. Touchscreen was working fine.

I am a little skeptical about handing out the phone to a local shop. Especially because I've only had the phone for about a month or so. You can actually buy a replacement front glass & replace it. But I'm heavy handed. So not the most ideal person to do it himself.

I could have taken the risk if it was at least a year old phone.

One advice I can offer everyone is invest in a good insurance plan. 2-2.5k could save you a lot of heartache & money.

Hope someone else benefits from experience.
[Nexus 6P General] drmuralinath:
Did any one receive update for this month?
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
You can manually side load the Ota and flash it

Cheers
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
I got the OTA. It was downloaded and ready to install when I woke up today morning.
[Nexus 6P General] drmuralinath:
I did not receive update yet
[Nexus 6P General] vijai2011:
Did you guys really use a hair dryer for sticking the dbrand skin? I don't have one and am skeptical if I should go ahead and stick without hair dryer
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Get into a car (your/friends), set the temp to the max and apply the skin. You need hot air just while sticking the skin around the camera area.
[Nexus 6P General] ayush84:
make sure your case doesn't catch the skin when putting it on or removing it (in the event you use a case).
[Nexus 6P General] vijai2011:
That's what I did (kind of). Used heat from my laptop. Wouldn't say a perfect finish. But it was satisfactory to me. It would have been impressive if they added nexus cutouts also.
[Nexus 6P General] darkshadow246:
Hey guys

Just got this phone a week back and I love it[emoji14]
[Nexus 6P General] fazmon:
me too..what is ur build date.? mine is 26-01-16..seems fine.
[Nexus 6P General] Chillz88:
Got mine a week back too. Date is 17/2/2016. Guess buying it outside India gives a better chance to get newer ones.
[Nexus 6P General] abhisheak.bansal:
Buying it from outside India, can you be more specific? :)
[Nexus 6P General] Chillz88:
I bought mine from the middle East. Remember using a sony z2 from there too and it felt and seemed like a better device than my friend's z2's which they bought from India. Same goes for a lot of devices I bought from India and outside. So got a feeling that some developed countries get better and more latest stock than the ones we get here. Or it's just something I feel or me being extra picky or stupid. Lol. Bought a gs7 and iPhone 6s too from there.
[Nexus 6P General] fazmon:
yah i think so too..i bought it from dubai..btw from where did you buy it and which color.. i chosed graphite varient becaz i heared graphite is less reported to screen tint problemes,
[Nexus 6P General] Chillz88:
Last week from Bahrain. I went with graphite too. Played with the aluminum one and gold too which looked good too. My htc m7 was the aluminum one which looked really good but grew too fast on me and bored me out in the end. Gold just isnt my thing, but my dad loved it and started hating his new gold iphone when he saw and felt it. LOL. Guess I am boring and like the graphite subtle one. Plus I like the amoled screen having those punchy colors with the overall black look.

Don't know about the tint problem with different colors though I did hear the same on XDA. The graphite would show scratches easily though.

The only very minor gripes I have with the phone after using it for a week was very few.

1) The phone is indeed slippy. The other metal phones I used were smaller. So better get that skin or a cover at least unless you are very good with your phones.

2)The power button felt a tad too sensitive to click and a little low to my taste. Sometimes it even clicked the phone on when taking it off the table cos it felt easy to click. Again just nitpicking.

3) Camera- It is pretty decent and not bad at all. Though I have to say my gs7 beats it and has a faster focus. Unlike the previous nexuses/nexii, it holds its own though. So again nitpicking.

Otherwise a brilliant, smooth, beautiful phone with those front facing stereo speakers. Hope it keeps holding on its own for a while.
[Nexus 6P General] fazmon:
i think we have same taste i dont like gold too lol..yah graphite gets scratched easily so i bought spigen rugged armor case and tampared glass protector from amazon, i got them delivered today morning. the case have some descent grip to it. but i dont think i can recomend it to you right now, i have to use it for at least one week.

Guys I need some help!!

I updated my phone yesterday midnight to the April security patch. I used my phone the whole next day and did not experience any problems. I go off to sleep and wake up with no signals on my phone. I have tried everything since then that I thought would be of help. Cleared caches, switched network preferences, turned on/off airplane mode, rebooted my phone, entered safe mode, even factory reset-ed my phone with no luck at all.

Is there a troubleshooting guide any steps that I should follow that can be of any help. I really don't want to take my device to the customer care centre. :(
[Nexus 6P General] abhipc:
Did you do this update using ADB or Fastboot? Or was it an OTA update?
[Nexus 6P General] xyzisahero:
It was an OTA.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
I don't have the patience to wait for Google to roll it out to my handset. Just sideloaded the OTA update. Now let's see if there's a difference.
[Nexus 6P General] aniketkuber:
My friend faced the same issue on his moto x play.. It was actually the Sim card.. He got a new one and it was fine
[Nexus 6P General] xyzisahero:
I did think it could be a sim issue so i have swapped sims with my friends. My sim worked on his phone and his sim still didnt work on mine.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
First back up your data. Download the ROM from Google's site, unlock the bootloader and reflash the ROM. This doesn't work it's probably a hardware problem.
[Nexus 6P General] aniketkuber:

Thanks for the help mate but i ended up going to the huawei customer centre. I didnt like the place some thrift stores look better than the centre i visited. I was suggested it could be a bad flash so they flashed the rom again but it still didnt help. They will be replacing the device which would take about 7-10 days. I really liked my device had no tint issues no bends and now I am kinda concerened about the replacement :/ .
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
Uh oh. Yeah, those repair centres don't inspire much confidence. Good luck with the replacement process mate. Hope you get a perfect unit.

So I got the Choetech USB-C charger delivered today. It was ordered on March 21st from Aliexpress when it was on sale for $10. It is working flawlessly just like the stock charger. Got a superb deal here :D

So supcase it is for me then. Love hybrid cases. Had a ringke fusion hybrid for my oneplus one.

Did you get the supcase from amazon and for around 2.2k too?
