i was asking why u think it will get bricked..like i had lg g4 before it had manufacturing issue on many g4's and motherboard died and i replaced it cause i had warranty..does 6p have that kind of manufacturing faults too?
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
The bricking can happen any time especially after Android 7 Nougat was released. I am not really sure why it happens and which batch of units (serial #s) are affected given Google keeps mum about the reasons and only recommends contacting Huawei for a replacement, not repair. That's what makes it so hard to trust the handset.

Other than the disappointing experience with VoLTE support, steeply dropping trade-in value, this BLOD bit is really the last nail in the coffin as far as my ownership of the N6P is concerned. I see no reason to retain it any longer.
[Nexus 6P General] dhanmohan:
damn dude i just bought it 2days ago..not new but still 20k is
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
Ouch! But if your phone is in warranty you need not worry. Wish you good luck with the handset man.

To be honest this problem doesn't affect all handsets only some...after all my 6P is still alive & kicking! But the thing is, one is unsure if his/her handset is among those batch/serial #s that will go belly up some day. Kinda like playing Russian Roulette.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Well there is no clear widespread issues being reported... Or else they would have been covered by tech sites... So I'll say... Enjoy... Plus it's something widely feared on a LG device...

Although I would agree that the resale value has gone down fast... But it's probably for the good... Incase I get into a issue... I'll probably get a 2nd broken or good device.. and use it for spare parts....

i have 1 1/2 months warranty ?

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

[Nexus 6P General] Sheikhspeare:
Being very severely visually impaired and there by unable to note down phone numbers and other details while on a call or even otherwise, call recording is one of the most important features for someone with my disability. Is there any call recording app that's works on the Nexus6p without having to root the phone?

PS : I've tried Automatic Call Recoder using all the different configurations available in the app, but it only records my end of the telephonic conversation.

Swyped from my N6P using XDA Premium 5.
[Nexus 6P General] superchandan007:
Any clue of VoLTE for 6p?
[Nexus 6P General] Sy1ar:
It is better to forget about it, Huawei and Google are passing the buck.

Contacted Huawei in September, they said that already looking into it and an update will be released soon till that time please use Jio4GVoice, it's been 6 months since then.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
Last hope is Nougat 7.1.2. It's rumoured to be rolling out to the Pixels in Apr. The Nexus family (excluding N6 & predecessors) will follow.
[Nexus 6P General] Raghav_K:
my nexus 6p motherboard died when i had 4 months of warranty left, and was replaced.

after that had battery issues, and had battery and mobo changed when 10 days of warranty left.

Will never buy a huawei device again for sure.

Btw n6p goes for only 5-10k? was planning to sell mine and get s8 :(
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
Flipkart is offering an exchange price of ₹13, 800 on the Nexus 6P when you buy the iPhone 7+ Jet Black 256 GB. That's the highest offer I've seen in recent times.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
No VoLTE support in Beta 2 either. Although they have fixed the frequent mobile data disconnections issue that I had on Jio. Data is now stable.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Good to know.. also I guess the radio version did increase on this beta right... If you have it downloaded​.. could you please upload the radio only...
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Radio is updated from 3.78 to 3.81.

Nope, I didn't download anything. Got the OTA.
[Nexus 6P General] simarguram:
i have the radio file from the OTA but when ever i try to flash that radio file thru fastboot. it gives me an error. also i am unable to sideload the ota via adb .

i downloaded the ota via my phone only and thru official notification. just copied the ota file from root directory.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
The OTA does not have the full fastboot flashable radio image. So obviously it will give error if you try to flash that from fastboot. Also, the OTA won't apply if you have modified your system partition or if you're not on beta 1. You need to be on a completely untouched beta 1 if you want to flash the OTA successfully.

Out of Warranty Service in bangalore

Hi Fellow Nexus 6P owners,

I am sure my battery has the issue which is being widely reported and it seems that the battery is out of warranty as per the service center.

Can you please guide me where in Bangalore can I get the battery replacement done.

The official service center says they do not have ready stock, come book pay for the battery then they will order and then they will replace.
[Nexus 6P General] Raghav_K:
so who is jumping from Nexus 6p to Galaxy s8?

I thought of upgrading, but s8 doesn't seem to be a big upgrade. Esp when mi6 plus is supposed to launch with dual camera and 4500mah battery.

however, not a fan of miui, so i'm planning to wait for next galaxy note.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Let's see the picture a bit clear... The S8 is a half baked device.. you see the fingerprint sensor placement... You see the camera sensor being the same as last year... You see that they just made forcetouch/3d touch for the home button only... You see that due to the note 7 fiasco.. they made the phones with a smaller battery... 3000mah for a 5.8 inch screen... U serious and hence they have the resolution default to full-hd...

I would rather that you wait for the HTC11 or the Xperia XZ Premium...

P.S. I would die before I get a phone that every tom **** and Harry carries... Being unique is what I like... That's the same reason I didn't get Oneplus3T .... Buy something that not everyone will have....

P.P.S. I will not actually die... Just saying
[Nexus 6P General] Funkym0nkey:
That does create the issues we all faced with this phone though. Lackluster support for critical features like volte is just a perfect example.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Well ... I'd like to say big deal.... Yes am pissed that my phone doesn't support it... But big deal.... You still get first dibs on a new OS... With Samsung... Well Jai Mata Di
[Nexus 6P General] hunt:
No VoLTE since today!

Till date neither Google nor Huawei responded positively for VoLTE update for Nexus 6P Indian users!

Please help me on this Tweet to get maximum response on the same.

I am not sure whether we will get the VoLTE in future or not, but this is my attempt towards the price we paid. We deserve it at least. No one gives a proper answer on VoLTE. If we are getting then when, If we aren't getting then Why?

We need just an answer. Yesterday's flagship turned into Today's crap! :(
[Nexus 6P General] willi9070:
They will only do it if they intend to do it, petitions and votes won't make any difference considering its a dated device now for google but for many users around the world it still provides great value for money especially after price drop, so google doesn't want to cannibalize the sales of its most recent pixel phones.

We are left with only two options either buying a secondary volte enabled device or selling this phone altogether to get a new one.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
I agree... Going for a tweet or petition won't help... It will happen if it has too... 10 people it 20 people can't force Google to do something...

So best is to wait... We got Android 7.1.2 coming next week... Let's see if it helps us
[Nexus 6P General] hunt:
Agree. My voice can't make a big difference!

If they can provide it to Nexus 5X, then why can't we? It's not about cannibalizing Pixel sales. Pixel is altogether in different race.

And who all are Pixel buyers? Most of them are stock Android lovers and Nexus users. If such pathetic post-purchase service are being offered from Google. Surely, I'll refrain myself from buying Google devices from now onwards! It's really a shame for company that cheapest devices like Mi and Moto are giving VoLTE updates to their customers and we invested 43K are leftovers​.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
As much as I liked my N6P (in some ways even more than my Pixel XL) I went in for option # 2.

No point waiting for Huawei and/or Google to wake up through petitions. Heck, even my OnePlus 2 received VoLTE support in Dec '16 as did the Pixel XL.

I seriously do not understand what's preventing the Google/Huawei combine from releasing an update. If this phone lacks hardware support then they should clearly and consistently say so.

I believe 7.1.2 represents the last hope for VoLTE support.
[Nexus 6P General] The Frustrated Indian:
I've actually given up on volte coming to N6P. I got my primary sim ported to airtel. The same 303 jio pack is 349 on airtel. And it's brilliant. I also ordered DBrand skin for it and it's coming today. N6P is the best phone I've used till date. And I'm not going to sell it just because it doesn't have volte. That's stupid.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Mate we can never compare 2 phones or compare there feature... U speak about mi and Moto... Well do they get first dibs on new updates... Also.. Google doesnt care if you buy or not... What they wanted to do is take care of Pixel users.. that's what it did.. by releasing the volte update for them... Pixel is premium line.. they can't runaway from them.... Us maybe sure... Nexus was and will always be considered a developer phone... Not for the masses...

So sure you can go for the mi or Moto... And try and be happy with them... I don't think you will be... Everything got a quirk ...
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Android 7.1.2 rollout has started and it is going to disappoint as far as Jio VoLTE support is concerned as the radio is the same as Android 7.1.2 Beta i.e. 3.81.
[Nexus 6P General] drmuralinath:
Got Android 7.1.2 update. no VOLte update.

Guys how to enable Google assistant, Pixel theme on Nexus 6P, pls help ?
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
According to the latest Tweets by Huawei India, Nexus 6P will NOT get VoLTE update due to 'hardware and software limitations' :eek:

https://twitter.com/HuaweiIndia/status/849161466875977728
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
So, that does it then. Time to sound the epitaph for what was IMHO the best Nexus handset ever released. Options are to use N6P on a network that offers fallback to circuit switched calling (CSFB), use the Jio voice app or buy a new phone. Most networks are planning to roll out VoLTE sooner rather than later.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
My rationale bordering on trolling. .. we can't use Jio for sure... But we still have Airtel Vodafone Idea ... Even if they launch VOLTE... It won't impact my usage.. why cuz they do have a 2g/3g setup in place for older phones... It's only Jio which is purely 4g based...
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
That's what I meant by CSFB.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
I really don't think Nexus 6P has a 'hardware' limitation because afaik modem is a part of SD810 SoC and OnePlus 2 which has the same SoC got Jio VoLTE support few months back. Software limitation, yes, this is the case. And it can be fixed with a firmware update. They just don't want to.

Requests for VoLTE support for Jio is high only because they provide unlimited calling to any network in India which no other operator (that i know of) is providing right now. Every new phones that are being launched mention 4G VoLTE support very clearly as they know it is an important and essential feature right now. There are even companies (Micromax and Lava) that have launched feature phones with VoLTE support.

And Jio4GVoice is really not an option due to its obvious limitations.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
need a bit of help here... so i downloaded the angler 7.1.2 image and extracted it and flashed it... i also format userdata in the end.. cuz i like starting from scratch... now when i try to boot it.. it flashes the dead android sign.. with no command written below it.. and doesnt boot up... could you please help me in what am i missing and how to correct it...
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
If you notice, the N2G47H factory image is missing userdata.img and cache.img files.

I saw this and hence instead of fastboot updating the zip, fastboot flashed boot, system, vendor and recovery manually after fastboot erasing the same 3. I didn't touch userdata and cache.

May be you can try fastboot format cachce as well, if that's not working try to flash userdata and cache from N4F26T.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
thanks for the help... saw that too.. so had run the flasl-all.bat script run this time.. i still ended up with that dead android with exclamation mark and no command error.. but in the time i was researching for the issue.. it rebooted by itself.. and got up within a minute....

telling you though.. this android can be a ***** sometimes....
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
:laugh: Certainly.

After Marshmallows, google is going downwards with android at a phenomenal speed!

Do update about signal quality. Since flashing 7.1.2 I'm facing severe call quality and data drop issues.

Data connection is fluctuating between LTE, H and 3G always, not stable at all, even now.

Wifey texted that she couldn't reach me for a long time yesterday evening, But I was sitting at home working with the phone the entire time :(. Never ever had this issue before and felt insecure for the first time coz of a phone!! :eek:
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
The signal seems good as before... I usually go through ridge road area in Delhi to test signal quality... Had a file being downloaded and it didn't lose connection through the entire place...

I have Airtel as my service provider... You might have encountered a isolated incident.. happens to me as well sometimes.. usually weekends... When my phone is idle for a long time... It doesn't lose signal but people aren't able to call me and I get those missed call alerts from Airtel messages
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Just happened with me... Had 5missed calls notif from my cab and 5 from my cab friend ... All these notif arrived when the company transport Deptt. Call got through to me... Going back to the old radio...
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Not what I want to hear at this point time! :(

Raised two separate complaints for call and data quality issues to airtel and they said some "switch miss match issue" for data connection problem. Asked me to switch off, remove and reinsert the sim card, but still no improvement

Pls do report back how the old radio performs!

[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Maybe a fluke... But does anyone feel that the fingerprint sensor feels faster on 7.1.2 than on previous iteration... ??
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
2 out of 5 attempts failed to unlock. And its bloody slower at times that I have to try 4 or 5 times at once to unlock. Looks like a half baked version.

This, the network issue and even the factory image didn't have cache and userdata partition files are proof enough that google screwed this release. :mad:
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
I am guessing that the images not having userdata and cache is it streamlining things... As flashing userdata in 64gig model would result in us getting only a 32 gig partition... So that's good...

As for network... I would suggest going to 3.78 .. agreed​ it's been a day ... But I didn't miss my call today... And am solid green in the network bar.. whereas yesterday had yellowish bar all over...
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Have seen this issue in Nexus 6, couple of years back. Not new, I bet you know that.

I don't think they are streamlining anything.

Google made a mess with previous two security updates as well, with the "verizon only" goof up. They release 7.1.1 April security update and then 30 mins later they release 7.1.2. If this is what streamlining is, then google has miles to go in their SDLC process. :p

Thanks for the update :good:. Will try.

[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
I bought mine last week of jan last year

And i am still on mm due to xposed and even with custom kernel profile and all those battery saving tips i get max 3.25 hrs of sot as compared to 6 in the beginning

Battery degradation is really poor really very poor in just a year it's gone less than half its capability

Gonna buy the new pixel for sure or if iphone 8 has some surprise maybe I'll make the Swtich

Cheers ?
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Humble advice, if you are willing to spend anything above 40K to buy a cellphone, it must be for an iPhone only. This coming from an android fanboy :p

With MM, without any battery saving measures I used to get close to 5hrs SOT with ~30hrs backup. and it is 3.5hrs sot and 20hr backup with N, despite extreme battery saving measures :rolleyes: Accubattery shows my phone's battery health at 93%, bought on Jan15, 2016.

Rohit and Raghav,

I had a chat with the intelliarmour representative (they have an amazing CS response@xda). S/he told me that they usually face a lot of custom issues while shipping their products to India and alot of packages do get lost. Asked me if they could ship it to some other country. So I guess we're better off not getting the TSP shipped directly to India. I'm trying to get it from my friends from "other countries".

Rohit, guess its already too late for u bro :D

They took a few days to order the battery, at the centre it took them 20 mins to change the battery. Cost was INR 1166. AccuBattery now shows it charges upto 3450 mah. Old one was showing 2400 mah.
