Feel free to use the Android N. Even if it is in its Beta, it's stable enough to use it as your daily driver.

I've been using it!

If at all you run into any critical issue(s), you can always revert to Marshmallow! Let us know what you think.
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
Thanks.

I got the update for my phone. Do I lose my root, apps, recovery?
[Nexus 6P General] mihir2035:
Well, I guess you'd lose it. Not sure here.
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
Apparently u will lose root but not apps..
[Nexus 6P General] varunrramani:
Do you use third party app to lock screen? that can be the issue.
[Nexus 6P General] rrohanjs:
Yea I just figured out the problem, was using invisible lock screen widget app. That was the issue
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Did you guys root your phones? I've installed N dev-preview 3, but unable to root it. Any help? :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
I am looking for the right solution.. Will update you here
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:

[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
here's what i did and need to follow exactly:-

1. flash everything and boot the device up and confirm it's working

2. boot to bootloader and do fastboot format userdata and then flash twrp:- fastboot flash recovery <recovery-name>.img'

3. after that fastboot reboot-bootloader

4. then just boot to recovery.. allow change to system partition and then flash the super-su.zip .. i got version 71 but anything later should do

5. say Jai Mata Di and reboot... :p

6. Profit...
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
Seems we need to wait if we have to have a encrypted device for twrp installation.
[Nexus 6P General] drmuralinath:
Thanks mate. Yeah I'm planning to switch but just worrying about back up creation now
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Didn't work mate. Solid explorer throws "unable to remount the file system under /system" error, when trying to make changes in the system partition. :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
I dont think this would work if the device is encrypted. TWRP is yet to read devices/flash things if the device is encrypted in Android N. We need to wait for TWRP to have that ability..
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
That's why the fastboot format userdata comes into picture.... it decrypts... and its working for me...

As for the solid explorer... I don't use it but I use amaze explorer... was able to mount.. also used ex for a bit... it did work as well...
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
Oh got it.. but it would delete the entire internal storage right?
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Yup! But I already did plan on starting from scratch so yeah... and believe me.. once you flash Android n... you ain't going back to MM...

Google made this thing better than custom roms
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
Yup I agree.. its phenomenal.. the multitasking, keyboard theming.. simply awesome.. I am just contemplating to hold on to rooting as Xposed is not out yet.. I use most of the xposed tools like Youtube playback, adaway, etc..
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Well rooting it got me Adaway but yes xposed isn't working so am missing YouTube Adaway .... rest this thing is silky...

I am especially fond of multiwindow and double tap to recent app...
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
Yes .. awesome one! Looking forward to the next update with more features.

hello peeps o/

I had Placed order at flipkart yesterday for the nexus 6p grey 64gb.

Final price after exchanging moto g2 and 10% citi bank cash back came to 31,499 :D

I had earlier brought nexus 6 32gb from flipkart @ 20k but i had to return the set as there was speaker issues, while playing games or music the volume from the speakers dropped.

I just hope i dont have to face any issues with this Nexus 6p
[Nexus 6P General] drmuralinath:
Running on Android N Beta. So far good working smoothly
[Nexus 6P General] rrohanjs:
Please recommend few stable roms with basic features, atleast more than stock.
[Nexus 6P General] :
Can anyone recommend a good case cover and a tempered glass?

I'm considering the following :

Spigen Rugged case [Spigen® Nexus 6P Case Rugged Armor Black (SGP11797) as available in Ebay for 999]

MTT Tempered glass [MTT HD View Round Edge Premium Tempered Glass for Nexus 6P as available in Flipkart for 374] [MTT Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Google Nexus 6P in amazon for 499]. Product image available in amazon says neo g5 tempered glass but in flipkart its different. Which of two is better?

If possible, reply before midnight because flipkart's sale will be ending by then. Since this is my first post, i am not allowed to post links otherwise i would have provided links to products.
[Nexus 6P General] AP_Nex:
I am using the same combination. Spigen Rugged Case is good. Dropped couple of times and no dents/bumps whatsoever. MTT TGSP is also been good, but after some time it start attracting fingerprints. Wipe it clean and it is shiny as new.

One thing to notice that Rugged Armour won't give you protection against situations where your phone tends to bent. I got my phone bent near volume rocker while having it on. So if you gonna use it, take precaution. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] :
So which case should i use? Or what precaution should i take to avoid bending?

How bad is your phone's bending? slightly bent or very noticeable?

Is bending considered as manufacturing defect? [material being too soft to get bent]

Edit: How tight is spigen rugged case?
[Nexus 6P General] vickysud:
Cracked my Nexus 6p display :( feeling sad, How much will it cost to change the front part of the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
Pure Nexus, resurrection remix are very good ones.. Try it
[Nexus 6P General] rrohanjs:
i went for pure nexus, very stable and good rom till now ..
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
Guys need your help to choose the right case. I would like a visually appealing one + provides good safety. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Get the affinity series.... those cases are pretty sturdy and still show the phone as well
[Nexus 6P General] AP_Nex:
It bent slightly and it is visible near volume rocker when cover is not on :( , but as I use Rugged Armour, it is not visible. I am not sure what kind of defect you should call it, but it is a big n slim phone, so precaution should be taken while handling.

Spigen case fit is ok, but when I plug in cable to port, it moves slightly, just a bit. Nevertheless protection is awesome against drops (not against bends though :p). May be Affinity series or Supcase will offer better protection but cannot vouch for them as I don't have any.
[Nexus 6P General] :
Can you all tell the temperature at which your 6p run. Mine seems to run at almost 40c . i always feel the heat. My 6p throttles a lot. Big cluster are most of the time closed. Got 39k on antutu. Is something wrong with my device? I use cpuz to check temperature.
[Nexus 6P General] :
Anyone?
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
How's this?

Spigen Nexus 6P Case Rugged Armor Black SGP11797 https://www.amazon.in/dp/B016CBFBVI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lyVtxb5E4YWNX

Looks like great reviews..
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
had ordered it and returned within a day... it's flimsy at best.. I am currently using a Speck Candy shell and occasionally use the Poetic Affinity both of which can withstand a drop...
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
Ah! Ok..

Do you use slickwraps/dbrand? Does it really protect the phone?

Or do you anything transparent over it to protect it but still maintain the looks?
[Nexus 6P General] abhipc:
I've outlined my experience here of getting a replacement screen

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/gener...ad-pricing-t3205811/post66185050#post66185050

M sorry if I confused you.. the case that I am talking about is this one:-

http://www.speckproducts.com/google...s-grip-google-nexus-6p-cases/N6P-CS-GRIP.html

And I also have this case.. which I got for free:-

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015P62CBI?pc_redir=T1

Both of them are very sturdy cases with the Speck case having the maximum protection and is also MIL standard drop tested... so got no WORRIES for that BEND happening with this case....

how did you order the POETIC Affinity im tryin to order but it does not ship to india from the link u sent..
[Nexus 6P General] drmuralinath:
I am using Android N Beta, experiencing mainly two bugs.

Firstly Wifi gets disconnected at times not often though.

Second My Android wear Moto 360 is not showing notifications other than Calls !
[Nexus 6P General] vshainky08:
Are the 4 a57 cores on your phone are stopped ?

cuz people are facing this problem after updating to android n. I am one of them.

You can Google it .

i jus checked!! coveris for $9.95 and shipping is for $15!!!! cancelled the thought of buying!!!:p:p
[Nexus 6P General] :
I have not updated to android n. But yeah 4 bigger cores are always off at that temperature.
[Nexus 6P General] rrohanjs:
how many of u use google now ? i keep using it and then turning it off trying to give it a chance to convince me that it's useful to me. But sadly it isn't as third party apps do a better job for me. Your views ?
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
That's the first thing I turn off.. ???? Have never used in my life... probably never will
[Nexus 6P General] roofrider:
Which third party app? I find Now on Tap quite handy.

Have Google Now on and never bothered with other apps, since Now gives news articles, sports updates, and other stuff based on my browser activity and location (sometimes). Which are the other better apps?
[Nexus 6P General] rrohanjs:
First of all the weather notification sucks, it just disappears if you click for few hours. like why, just stay there or come back sooner, so i use 1weather app for weather

For all sports scores i use Sofascore, they are faster, give real time scores and real time updates for goals in football and fall of wickets etc in cricket.

For articles i follow toooo many android sites so i've already read all the articles google now shows me like a day before only.

Few cards are nice at times like boarding pass and stuff like that but it's all showy for me.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
The only reason I root my phone is to get rid of bloatware apps like these. For me it is the biggest culprit in terms of battery drain.
[Nexus 6P General] Salim Zhulkhrni:
any one has used the 'Verus High Pro Shield' case for nexus 6p ? How good the case is in terms of protection ?

Do any one of you would recommend this case on ?

PS: Currently using the 'Cruzerlite Slim Armour Dual Layer' case

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] n4speed2:
I used to switch off google now. Other than telling me status about flights and courier, i dont know why it is there. The 3rd party apps do fine in telling me latest news and trends like feedly. Also my other google ID is kept for flights and courier and other for logging in. I guess google is best suited if people have only one google id for every damn thing.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

I use Dbrand for my phone. got the carbon fibre. They are only acts a skin and provide grip when holding the phone and placing it somewhere. It will protect against minor scratches when dragging your phone or placing on tables. Otherwise dont expect anything when you drop the phone even minor drops. So skins are just to change the look of the phone. Though some skins look super awesome.
[Nexus 6P General] drmuralinath:
Huawei revealed that it's releasing Nexus phone this year too. So HTC is still on hold. Hope Huawei does the best this time rectifying Nexus 6P cons.

Are there any serious bugs in N Beta or can it be used as daily driver? I'm planning to update during the weekend. Thanks in advance. :)
[Nexus 6P General] drmuralinath:
No serious bugs as such.. it runs smooth most of the time.But I don't suggest as a daily driver for a single phone user.

Minor issues with Wifi, Bluetooth are there which shut down at times. And few video streaming won't work. Sometimes phone hangs.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Didn't see any issues in my 2weeks or so of using .. works so good.. that I am missing it now... I am telling you though that thing is amazing with its multiwindow and double tap recent for switching to the previous app...

P.S no longer on dp3 as had to try paranoid Android... but didn't like it... it uses cmte and I am in love with Layers... CmTE isn't anywhere near...

Haha! I definitely will once I receive it and get some free time!

I had no option but to get the Gold, since other 64Gb models were out of stock! :silly: I hope it lives up to its reputation.

I will start pestering everyone here soon with recommendations for Screen Guards and covers/cases [emoji14]

Edit: Got it. Pictures incoming!
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
Agree with the Bluetooth part. It disconnects randomly and there is some awkward sound. Rest is simply awesome...
[Nexus 6P General] kkapoorr:
So I received my new 6P Gold 64 GB.

This phone is awesome!

[IMG="This is it!"]http://i.imgur.com/K6wew9N.jpg[/IMG]

And so begin my queries: :p

I will be scrolling to previous pages to see what cases and screen guards y'all recommend, but can anyone link me to the one they have on?

Tempered glass or normal screenguard? Will a case that curves around the front little bit (like Spigen ones) clash with the tempered glass and make it come off?

Is the Android N beta worth it? I need my phone for work purposes currently and don't want any bugs related to calling/texting/internet.

Does anyone use a camera app other than the google camera? If so, which one & why?

I will ask more when I can remember! :silly:
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
1. I am using this. I also have this (get links from Suhubh :p).

2. Tempered glass. Because it is more scratch resistant than a normal screenguard. I am using IntelliARMOR TGSP which I imported from US when there was a deal going on. Some folks here have recommended Nillkin too.

3. I was using it for a while till off-late some Microsoft apps (Outlook/Skype for Business) started misbehaving. If you only need it for calling/texting/internet browsing, N shouldn't give you any issues. And thanks to Google, switching back and forth is pretty simple without getting your hands dirty. Upgrading will keep your data intact while downgrading wipes data.

4. I use Google Camera and am pretty happy with it.

Not fake certainly. He does it to a variety of devices. And I think it bent so easily because of that crack and a weak structure
[Nexus 6P General] richie.slayer:
He bent it so easily! If this ends up like bend gate, it would hurt resale value. Why cut corners on build material? IL be buying an insurance when I get the phone just in case. If the phone doesn't function as well as these reviewers on YouTube say I'm unsubscribing from the whole lot.
[Nexus 6P General] arnab96:
Did you notice?

There is no Nexus or Huawei logo on the back of this demo phone? or did I miss it?
[Nexus 6P General] nomad47:
The device in the video did not have a nexus branding on the back. May be that was a pre-release device??
[Nexus 6P General] lathiwala_99:

32gb Graphite is available for pre order in Flipkart right now

edit : Sold
[Nexus 6P General] mittals888:
As said by me earlier, the awful folding of the whole device may be due to the fact that the glass on the front had cracked.

I shared that stress test video just in the common interest of thw community and so that prospective buyers know to exercise care.

Anyways I am going to be using a tempered glass protector alongwith a skin/case and definitely an insurance plan after reading fine print of the insurer. And the fact that I have in past used all of my devices including all the previous iterations of the Nexus (minus Galaxy Nexus and N6) and will use 6P with utmost respect and care so I can expect the durability of the materials used in it to hold up.
[Nexus 6P General] G1sanju:
I am still buying. These videos just means that we need to be little bit more careful with the device. But that doesn't take away the joy of pure Android experience :)
[Nexus 6P General] ywnmmsb:
I think we make big issue of this. Plastic or metal at this thickness is always going to bend. Even the steel utensils at home bend a bit with some pressure or based on the angle or area we put pressure on.

Even our cars dent easily.

We should just enjoy the experience of the phone & be stress free. Or you can take phone insurance which covers such incidents.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Please those cribbing and cry babies cancel the order...band after that watch this video...

Everyone has their right to buy whatever they want, stop using such kind of language in forum as big as this.
[Nexus 6P General] pmsdhawale:
Anyone bought tempered glass ?? If so, please share link to the product. :)
[Nexus 6P General] PratikP:
1. Poetic affinity, Supcase hybrid or Candyshell Speck case; if you are looking for a case that'll give you a peace of mind. These are slim-tank cases with good grip. I've used all three. If you're looking for a case to prevent the device from scratches then the Huawei case should be good (I used this for a couple of months with no issues).

2. Tempered glass without a second thought. Try to get your hands on an intelliarmour. Before the intelliarmour i was using a tempered bought from eBay. The difference between intelli and others is significant.

3. Android N. The current release is quite stable apart from a one-off bluetooth or WiFi issue.

4. Stock camera. Had been to a trek to the Himalayas recently and the pics taken from the stock were perfect! If you still want to buy an app then go for Manual Camera available on the store. Was using this before my 6P.

Cheers,

Pratik
[Nexus 6P General] mihir2035:
Gotta say, love this Gold Color! :good:

Here are my thoughts on your questions -

1) I have been rocking the Spigen Rugged Armor since last 6 months or so, and it feels amazing! Some folks here have recommended Poetic Affinity and Candyshell Speck too. It's your choice anyway! :)

2) I'd say - you go for the intelliARMOR. The oleophobic coating it has is oddly satisfying.

3) No, if it is work related and you do not want bugs, don't go for the beta. Wait for the final Prod release.

4) Like Nishant and Pratik have said - go for the Stock Camera app. It is good and has been getting better lately.

Best,

Mihir
[Nexus 6P General] kkapoorr:
Haha I already ordered the Rugged Armor for now, will research and buy a better one next month or so! Also, I got a [url:"http://www.amazon.in/MTT-Tempered-Screen-Protector-Google/dp/B017LEPG7O?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01"] MTT Tempered SP [/url] for now too, heard good reviews here via search and on AMZN's website.

Will probably skip Android N for now.

See above ^

Poetic is expensive, will need to save since wallet wiped out by the 6P.:p Are the others expensive too?

This is my first phone which isn't a white/aluminium color one and I have to sya the color grabs a lot of eyeballs! People in the metro were staring all the time! :P

I have the rugged armor on order too! Spigen is reliable in my previous experience.

Intelliarmor will get after a few months!

I am yet to click pictures with the 6P so camera remains to be tested...
