Well not giving up on Android just yet.... I have my eyes set on v30 or the iPhone 8.... If the v30 is priced right... Will get it... And if they try to get in iPhones territory.... Well iPhone will be I ka phone ....

On the other hand have been tshooting my early shutdown at 17% ... Have charged me phone to the fullest since past 3 days and it's not happening for me... But would like someone to confirm as well....

What I am Doing is charging my phone till the battery settings says charged... And not based on the Charged we see on the lockscreen.... It seems to have helped and it takes roughly another 30mins before that battery settings says fully charged... You can check by clicking on battery as well.... So that works

P.S do we have a lawyer in the group... If he can file a consumer case we can all chip in with complaints and provide the proof of replacements and Google acknowledging their fault in USA.... Nowadays only the court works in India.... Been doing a lot of a good work this year....
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Been doing this from Day 1. When the battery info shows charged, I'll let it plugged in until it says Full. It'll take some 40-45 minutes from charged/100% to Full. But this didn't help at least in my case. Switched to 20%-80% charging since last week, still not able to stop battery suicide.

My phone was shut off at 14% yesterday morning. Upon reboot it showed 1%, so thought of draining the battery completely by switching it on repeatedly until it stops turning on. (sorta like the "battery calibration technique" I used to do with my S2 :p). With 1% the S2 used to completely shut off in 2 or 3 attempts, same goes with N4 and N5. But in 6P, even after 30-35 attempts, phone was still booting and shutting off, which I guess means, 14% juice is still there but battery is reporting false data and causing the shutdown.

Poor engineering by huawei and poor quality control by Google. :rolleyes:

BTW, How is the development support for non google LG phones here in xda?

v30's IP68 rating is impressive. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Yup.... The waterproofing is something that interests me more... I remember I got my first ip65 phone in Xperia z... Played Holi with it... Got f'd as water did get thru those flaps... But that baby held on... Had it in rice for a 3days and Bam ... Working again... Until unless I lost it when I was more drunk than Rick and didn't remember ****

As for development..? Gonna be honest it's not healthy... But given the hype for V30... It gonna get a good place... Or at least Lineage Oreo... Samsung won't stand a chance as it would get exy-no

Guys with microphone issues, did you try THIS solution?

it involves multiple changes to the build prop and doesn't disable noise cancelling fully as per the source.
[Nexus 6P General] Sy1ar:
If you are talking about the echo then you just need to edit one thing in build prop. Search for persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true and change it to false.
[Nexus 6P General] kkapoorr:
Does this cause a detrimental effect on the speaker?

IIRC, using this method the problems shifts to the speaker during calls.
[Nexus 6P General] Sy1ar:
Don't have any issue with speaker
[Nexus 6P General] nachiket_xda:
Airtel started volte service in mumbai. But calls will be charged from main balance! what a bummer

anyways our device wont support it. alas

www.airtel.in/volte
[Nexus 6P General] Alcoholic:
Got the OREO OTA. Airtel.

Data wasn't working. Had to switch APN to airtelgprs
[Nexus 6P General] mdfarazb2:
More device support will be added soon.... There's still no OnePlus and Pixels yet.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
LG V30.... That will be my new phone.... ***** apple ****ed iPhone X .... FaceId fails and 89k price... Kill me now.... I a! Too poor and educated for buying a phone worth 90k with **** in it....
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
:laugh::laugh::laugh:

"Magical"... "Unbelievable"... the presenters were constantly using these two words, but in real it's less than ordinary...

Watched the keynote for the first time. I thought the regular iPhone's 8 and 8+ will come with slim bezels and without haedware home button. But bummer...

iPX, well watching the leaks and all I was even ready to shell out 90K, but it being relying on FaceID and no FPR, another bummer...

Many of my friends who own s8 not even using the iris scanner, which is faster by many a miles than the iPX.

What I see good in the yesterday's announcement was good camera and faster processor, Which I'm sure google will equalize it with pixel 2.

Now, the only downer from pixel 2 will be the squeezable frame. If it is the case, then v30 for me also or even settle with OP5 for time being.

As their marketing boasts, apple used to move the industry with their innovations, but this time the industry moved apple and with FaceID apple's gonna burn for a while.
[Nexus 6P General] Aswin08:
Any take on this?

phandroid.com/2017/09/13/nexus-6p-pixel-xl-replacement/

Google is replacing defective Nexus 6P devices with Pixel devices.

Any news from Huwaei in India?
[Nexus 6P General] mdfarazb2:
I think it's only happening with those who purchased their phones from Google Store. Which is not available in India.. so no replacements here.. :(
[Nexus 6P General] Aswin08:
Yes, but atleast they could replace the battery for free.

Would like to hear about the experience of any users who spoke about this issue with them and whats their response.

Maybe if there is lot of pressure from customers they need to respond some how
[Nexus 6P General] mdfarazb2:
Haha.. Those Mofos didn't even provide an ota for volte.. how can you expect them to replace our batteries for free.. :crying:
[Nexus 6P General] Aswin08:
True, LG would have handled the situation better. Can't expect much from this chinese crap. Though it was a beautiful device inspite of these hardware mess ups.
[Nexus 6P General] mdfarazb2:
Yup
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
LG would have done the same... It's not about the manufacturer... But more like a place... In USA you get sued and the person wins even for a tea that was extra hot and it burned the person's tongue slightly....

In India... Chal C**** is what we get....

So till the time the consumer is champ is India... And more consumer centric laws come in... Forget about it...

P.S. I am.thinkkng about getting a IP7 128gig given the low price and the discount on paytm... Any suggestions... Need a phone with a long battery life... And the itch to get something new is strong...

LG v30 is a being a tease for now
[Nexus 6P General] coolsid8:
I also am being tempted by the IP7 given the fact that apart from wireless charging, there's nothing much different in IP8. IPx is too expensive.

Only problem with iphone would be the lack of customizations but it makes up for it with its smoother/neater experience. Fast charging/notification panel are few of the major issues which have stopped me from switching. Wait a month. Check out the Pixel 2. My next phone would either be the Pixel 2/V30.
[Nexus 6P General] Aswin08:
I said generally, not about just pixel Replacement issue. We were talking about volte, battery, bootloop issue generally. LG could provide volte and full refund for few bootlooped users even in India. And ofcourse their customer care and phone build is better than Huawei.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
So true in case of mako and hammerhead. I've been there in their service centers, the experience is pretty good actually. A friend's hammerhead's display was changed after 4 years, in which case most manufacturers would say spares not available.

Had an LG LCD monitor that stopped working after 5 years, they diagnosed it with a hardware failure and provided half of the money as refund after verifying the bill. :good::good:

Anybody having nexus 5X, how's it holding?
[Nexus 6P General] Aswin08:
Yes, even I changed my hammerhead's (more than 3 years old) battery and power button in their coimbatore service center. Phone is still more solid than my Nexus 6P.

But sadly few phones including nexus 5x, LG G series is affected by bootloop. But they came back strongly last year, but I am not a fan of their UI,though better than samsung's.
[Nexus 6P General] PratikP:
I did have a word with google regarding the speaker issue - I posted this earlier.

The CS was good but she once again diverted me to the Huawei service center. After I explained to her that it's a hardware issue present across all the N6Ps and the solution is to change the built.prop file - she told me that what the process is - you have to visit the manufacturer. If the solution they offered doesn't work then write in back to us.

I know what the guys at the service center would do - replace the mic and if that doesn't solve the issue then replace the mother board.
[Nexus 6P General] rrohanjs:
huawei service centre in mumbai has a delay of more than 20 to 25 days going on to get the stock for batteries.

My battery has reduced to 90% acc to accu so i thought let's change it, when i called them they said they have few customers who have given the phone and they are still waiting for their batteries since 25 days, anyone here who has given ?
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Looky who.... We have Google pixel XL 2 and pixel 2 posters up in Delhi... A user saw a poster in rajouri garden

http://indiatoday.intoday.in/techno...ads-india-launch-could-be-soon/1/1059764.html
[Nexus 6P General] th3discodancer:
is anyone considering the pixels for real?

http://www.gsmarena.com/pixel_2_and_xl_2_images-news-27534.php

No headphone jack (which honestly is fine), dual cameras, bezel less display, no wireless charging X factor or special feature.. at around 77k. that's a lot to sacrifice for stock android and I'm not sure if it's worth it anymore. At top price, the duos have a longer list of features it doesn;t have than the ones it does.

Coming from the 6P, this actually doesn't sound like an upgrade. Better specs and squeeze for AI? at double the price? F*ck this.

EDIT:

I have to say, no phone this year is cutting it for me. V30 comes close but the selfie camera at 5MP is a major turn off.

The note 8 is a genuine feature packed phone and the stylus is an absolute win. But it has touchwiz. And if that's not enough, the camera colours are way off and just poor in front of the Iphone 8/8+

All the droids this year have made no progress from the start of the year. ALL of them using the SD835 which the Apple phones will destroy once IOS11 stabilizes.

Coming to which, the Iphone X, the phone which has the best processor to date, for a motherf*cking 90K and runs the iOS sh*tshow, which barely allows you to change the ****ing wallpaper, and the powerhouse of the chip is put best at use on Ani-f*cking-mojis? Motherf'ck!

What a sad f'cking year for technology
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
1. The pixel are gonna be awesome and will be getting it...

2. The v30 is freaking awesome and cribbers will be find something to mourn about in everything (nothing against you )

3. Note 8 is freaking awesome with its dual cam.setip and a camera comparison on phonearena b/w note 8 and ip8 plus had note 8 winning hands down. ... Though the colors are over saturated ... And I agree

4. It's not about the processor ... It's about the capability... A11 is a beast beating even desktop i3... But what use is it... iOS is locked down... Had it been open like Android... Man would Android have not existed ...

5. Hate the drama
[Nexus 6P General] th3discodancer:
I wish you the very best for getting the pixel and i hope you have a great time with it.

That being said, no offense to you or your choice, The Pixels are not going to be awesome. Technology has not made strides for the last 10 months for it to be awesome. What it's going to be is a droid fanboy's obstinacy (myself included) for stock android being a nexus user. It's going to be a good phone, but by no means awesome given the things it doesn't have

I really wanted the Pixel to be awesome, but looking at it objectively and not giving into my love for android and nostalgia for my 6P, it is going to be disappointing to say the very least.

The V30 is the best out of the lot imo, but it is nonetheless cutting corners. I remember buying the 6P and at the time this phone had class leading everything. So yeah, the fact that there isn't a phone out there with no corners cut is disappointing.

I disagree with the note 8 winning camera wise. This is the first time an apple device has a better camera than a note. By miles.

Never said anything pro-ios. Can not stand ios, as previously stated.

I am a consumer, not a android protestant or a technology protestant, and the facts which I stated remain. Not drama, mere discussion.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Extremely happy with the Pixel 2 XL offerings. Especially the monsterous DxOMark rating!! :good::good:

But I guess it will not be sold thru play store in India. The shop now button in play store india link redirects to the find retailers page!! :(

Edit: More [bad] news

Pixel 2's will be sold exclusively thru Flipkart :eek:, means no play store availability, hence after 10 days of purchase we are on our own in case if we face any problems with the phone. :(

And.. Prices..

Pixel 2 64 GB = 61,000 Rs

Pixel 2 128 GB = 70,000 Rs

Pixel 2 XL 64 GB = 73,000 Rs

Pixel 2 XL 128 GB = 81,000 Rs

(Al excluding GST)

Thanks to google for making an Android/Nexus fanboy into a i**** fanboy!! :(:confused:
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Well I hope you are sold enough to see you in pixel 2 xl forums.... Have my monies ready for the 64gig model... As 82k for the 128gig model is freaking insane... Unless they have good offers like iPhone 10k off on preorder...
[Nexus 6P General] draroraab:
Anybody in Delhi who's got their N6P battery replaced? How long do they take?
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Not really bro. If I invest anything over 30-35K on a phone, I expect it to give me back good returns, in the sense like premium feel, flawless usage and then should fetch a decent amount of money when I finally let it go.

Pixel may offer premium feel and better usage, but in terms of resale it will be like dust. The 8+ can be sold off for at least 55-60K after an year, can the Pixel go that much?

I bought the 64gig Nexus 6P for 43,999.00rs at Flipkart, now when I checked last week flipkart offers 2,500.00rs as the exchange price for same phone. Heck even Samsung offers 7,500.00 as exchange price. But flipkart, clearly they know some dirt about 6P :p

No sale via play store means we are left at the mercy of service centers after the 10 day of purchase if we buy it from flipkart or from the very next day If we buy it offline. This is the major reason I'm gonna ditch Pixels.

It may have LG's strong service backing but for the 80K I put it in I want it to be premium in every single aspect. I buy a VW, I know it is overpriced in terms of product and even service cost wise, I know I'll go to their service once an year, but when I do, I don't want to feel like I'm going in to a 3rd party workshop coz I didn't put **** load of money just to feel like that.

I know it is just a phone and there is no need to put in this much of thought in to it. The Pixel 2 XL and the 8+ does the same thing that an ordinary 10K phone would do albeit a tad better. So, it is us who have to decide what to expect to the kind of money we shell out for a phone.

Platinum is costlier than gold but still the world choose gold coz gold can be an accessory, can be an investment.

Every Nexus I've owned so far must be rooted, Installed a custom kernel and/or ROM and do some tweaking in order to get some marginally better performance and battery life. It is for the this same reason I've stayed out of iPhone's. But the 8+ entirely changed the landscape. It has tiny battery compared to Pixel 2 XL but the battery life and performance it offers is phenomenal. If I go the iPhone way my clients and buddies will utterly roast me coz I was so much against apple's. Despite that I want to be practical this time.

I've ditched v30 as well coz it is gonna be LG's version of pixel 2 XL. It is between OP5 and 8+ now. I can get the OP5 and wait it out for an another year, I've a **** load of purchased apps from play store, I'll not loose out on them as well. It'll be 50K saved over the 8+ and If I put it in business I can get much better returns too. Or I can get the 8+ and forget all the worries about rooting, custom ROM's, kernels, battery life blah blah and do my work peacefully.

I'll decide by January.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Prices of these phones might come down because just like last year they will hardly sell anything in India

Or they might just come up with a bundle deal

Only chance they have is this

Pricing is ridiculous! Feels like we have 2 apples now:rolleyes:
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
One word mi mix 2 on 10th October
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Got the best screen on time since my phone started the random shutdown .... Got 4hr26mins on Oreo Oct build... Before the phone shutdown at 12% ..

Pixel 2XL... Here i come
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Mine started loosing signals randomly since past 4 days, so in need of an urgent phone replacement. Thinking about buying a 1st gen pixel, but don't know where to get it. I don't want to get it from online coz I'm quite sure they won't be brand new. Searching for offline availability.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
If you can wait for a day or two... Then would suggest going for mi mix 2... Will be more awesome than OnePlus 5...

As for the original pixel... Wasn't that great of a phone...
[Nexus 6P General] :
Battery Replacement

I have been using the 6P for the past 1.5 years and it is good. Battery is the only thing sometimes I feel is a let down.

I spoke to Huwaei service center in Chennai and was told the total battery replacement will cost 2500. I asked to details the charges and they told me that since the procedure is a bit difficult, they are charging for the back case and camera panel that will be broken in the process.

Has anyone done a battery change in Chennai? If so please let me know.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Well the weirdest thing happened to me... I was testing the battery on LTE only and was at 17% .. the very next instant when checking my Twitter it went down to 13%...

Had to plugged to the charger and it went to 16% in a instant and then 21% all in like 10sec flat...

Thinking of getting the battery replacement done from Huawei SC ... As will be passing the phone to my mom...
[Nexus 6P General] NoobInToto:
LG has history of more bootlooping models than Huawei....lol

Just saying that you could have an expensive brick after an year or so.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Well we always take that chance.... Who knew the battery **** will happen with huawei.... But it did.. I still have a nexus 5... Gives more SOT than my nexus 6P....

Also my nexus 6P is dead for me now... The battery has gone wonky.... With the battery percentage jumping from 50 to 13 in a instant and then to 80 as soon as I put it too charging ....

Pixel 2 XL couldn't be here soon enough... Will also keep my eye out for Mi Mix 2.. A good price just !right entice me into buying it...
[Nexus 6P General] NoobInToto:
Bootlooping is not related to battery. It is related to SoC.

Anyways, battery replacement is much cheaper than replacing motherboard (replacing mb is the only fix for bootloop, FYI).

Check Huawei service centre if they can change battery. It would be worth it if you have no other issue
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
I see your'e from Cbe. Do you own 6P currently and changed your phone's battery with huawei CC here in our town? If so, how was the experience?

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

Selling my n5 was a huge mistake I believe now. My phone boot looped just now. Didn't know since when, but when I take it out of pocket It was at the bootloader warning screen. :(
[Nexus 6P General] NoobInToto:
No, I went near the one near 100 feet road. I have bootloop issue, I'm running the phone by shutting down 4 big cores for now. The fix for my phone is replacing motherboard for 25k....lol

My battery is dying too. I am thinking of buying a new phone (maybe bezel less OnePlus 5T)

The one in RS Puram supposedly sends device to Chennai to get it fixed, so that is not the better option

Edit: bootloop can be fixed at the cost of performance. Check the general section for the fix
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
I can't really say it was a boot loop issue (or may be), it was the first time that happened. Usually the phone shuts down at anything below 15% and battery is the culprit.

Anyways I want to get rid of this phone ASAP coz I'm of the feeling that a phone with these prevalent issues might land me in trouble sooner or later. I was planning to buy iP8+ at around January, and it's battery life is still to be verified. So, as of now thinking about getting OP5 or S8 sooner, use them for an year and then think about upgrades later. However, OP5's camera is not at par with 6P and S8's Exynos and lack of community support is no go. Not a fan of Mi's as rohit suggested,

Smartphone offerings in 2017 is ridiculous I feel. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6P General] NoobInToto:
Phone shutting down early is just early shutdown battery issue. If you are looking for the top of the line phones, then you have pixel 2, iPhone x and whatnot lol

For me on the other hand, n6p is probably the most expensive phone I will have used in quite a long time.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Well if you can get a good deal... Get the s8 or plus variant... I have been lurking around in that forum and they have a alpha stage lineage OS and the best part is the developer is the same guy who was responsible for getting it on S7.. and making it officially supported... Fevax I guess....
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Sammy is offering 7,700Rs for 6P... :D

Definitely a great deal. Have to visit the store and see how it feels and handles. Will decide after.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Another thing... Do the but from store... Google Samsung BYOD... You get way better and cheaper offers there... Note 8 is being sold for 61k last when I checked... Even during preorder period...
[Nexus 6P General] rrohanjs:
anyone thinking of huawei mate 10 as an option after the 6p experience ?

these are few reasons i'm not going for the following phones and yes i'm struggling to decide which one to pick

1. pixel 2 xl - overpriced, ugly compared to other option but still have to see it in person.(number 1 choice as of now)

2. note 8 - software updates and slower finger print scanner compared to others plus that odd placement

3. s8 plus - same issue as above

4. v30 - mediocre front cam

5. op5 or op5t - camera is not an upgrade from the 6p

6. huawei pro 10 - wildcard choice as of now
[Nexus 6P General] NoobInToto:
7. Mi mix 2

No love for iphone?

runs away...
[Nexus 6P General] rrohanjs:
lol i have an ipad and have used an iphone before, the software is just not for me

mi mix 2 - for that price getting that camera, nah !
[Nexus 6P General] NoobInToto:
Anyways, i wouldnt add a Huawei product on any list... with bootloop issue going on and Huawei India ignoring it like a pro, without batting an eyelid...
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
I'm like, Pixel 2 XL will be my last choice If I don't find anything viable. Have to see it in flesh as well, I feel the top bezel is a wee bit bigger than the bottom bezel and it looks :eek:

Did some virtual measurements using the phone size visualizer tool from phonearena. I felt it won't be an issue and can be accustomed to it in a jiff. Planning to visit the stores in a couple of days to see how it really is.

Specs are too good. But two things are working against it. The bottom mounted front camera... Pixel like high on price; low on service support!

Was watching countless videos about iPhone and iOS. Except notification system, I didn't find anything wrong about the software. Can you shed some light on why you are disliking it?

:highfive: :highfive:
