I've ordered an year ago, a matte black one, they do deliver, without any issues. I think there is a 30% offer going on now. Grab one.
[Nexus 6P General] willi9070:
Is anyone using supcase slim version? After spigen rugged armor became loose and sceatched the aluminium from inside, i am a little undecided about next case, i am finding supcase to be a great one but its on a expensive side, pls share your opinion about this one
[Nexus 6P General] kkapoorr:
I have the Supcase clear version & I love it.

Ordered twice this year, it always gets delivered within 15 days of shipping. Since I had ordered only when sales were there, the gap between ordering & shipping was about 6 days.

Check images here, & here.
[Nexus 6P General] emanoj.i9103:
Rugged Armor gets loose with dbrand usage. The marks on aluminium back easily goes off by wiping with shampoo based solution.

Is Supcase slim as good as Rugged Armor in terms of protecting the phone?
[Nexus 6P General] willi9070:
I didn't use it with a skin, phone just started sliding across within case, about scuffs and scratches, dust entering into loose case caused them. Have seen great reviews about supcase on YouTube, it appears to be on expensive side here in India that's why i am a bit undecided as of now.

Currently i am using nillkin clear case with a skin, but don't like the feel of this case also it has turned yellowish within 2 months. Will be using supcase without skin now

No go for Jio VoLTE support in January update too. I did have some hopes after I saw an updated radio (angler 3.79).
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
I see 2 releases for January... Did you check both... Or flashed the radio of them to check ???
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
I tried the later build I.e. N4F26J. The other one is N4F26I contains the same radio as older build and for VoLTE a radio update is needed. So there's no point in trying the build with same radio as before.
[Nexus 6P General] dafreaking:
Guys how much can one get a pre-owned 32gb or 64gb for these days?
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Not more than 15k.
[Nexus 6P General] dafreaking:
For the 64gb too? Wow
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
I think. 6P second hand price has come crashing down due to various reports of devices failing (bootloops and battery issues). Not a good idea to buy this phone right now, period.
[Nexus 6P General] hunt:
No more loyalty for Google anymore!

I may switch to other manufacturers, who at least listens. e.g. OnePlus.

After spending 43K, we're not getting proper response from both Huawei and Google, such a shame it is.

VoLTE will be the next basic need for every phone. :crying:
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
They did enable VoLTE on the Pixel range, so it's not impossible for Google or Huawei to do this unless there is a hardware constraint.

Question is, do they want to? I've given up. And these boot loops and battery issues have sounded the death knell for the 6P. Maybe I'll trade in my handset for an iPhone.
[Nexus 6P General] lathiwala_99:
I recently got the poetic affinity clear case for my Nexus 6p. The phone feels much lighter compared to rugged armour case which I was using prior to it and has decent protection too. BTW I also had installed skinnova skin on the phone as rugged armour was somewhat loose and I also started to see few spots on graphite color of my phone.
[Nexus 6P General] willi9070:
Similar thing happened to my phone, wondering why other people are not having this issue, I can't simply use this phone without any skin, my ipad never had this scuffing, or scratching issue
[Nexus 6P General] The Frustrated Indian:
Seriously? Just relax. People have sold their phone for rock bottom prices. Just impatient people. I know they are offering free calls and all. Even thought the interconnection has improved, the call quality is still bad. We still cannot hear the other person. Or it becomes mute after sometime. VoLTE is still in its initial stage. In India. Just calm down. And wait till April or so. Until then just put the unlimited calls pack by your network operator.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Maybe an issue in your area. I've been using Jio for VoLTE calling very extensively (using a Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus) and the call quality is as good as usual phone calls. Initially it used to get disconnected after 30 mins as there as a restriction enforced but now I am able to talk for more than that. There were call drops and call connect issues initially but from the past few weeks it is rock stable.

4G data sucks big time though.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Using the same model as a secondary phone and bought the jio sim just to test how it fares as I travel a lot and can't afford to loose connectivity.

Call drops are way too frequent, like every other 20-30 seconds the call would disconnect, much worse during peak usage hours, in urban areas, with vodafone especially, airtel is somewhat ok though. Indoor coverage is a joke. Sometimes, Feeling nostalgic about Nokia 5190 + BPL connection days :p, holding the phone above the head and wandering around for the signal.

But, in certain rural areas where the other operators plummet, jio's the coverage, especially data speeds are excellent,

I sternly feel, selling the 6P just for the sake of VoLTE is premature. VoLTE needs at least 2 years I believe, to become stable.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Couldn't agree more VoLTE is in its infancy in India.... Need the other operators to launch it and perfect the same to ensure that the 6P actually doesn't support... Plus look at the current crop of phones... Nothing different.. worth noting..

I'll buy the next phone if it's bezeless.. has a awesome battery life(12hrs SOT) .. stereo front firing speakers ... And an equally good camera(cuz none compete my 80D) ...
[Nexus 6P General] coolsid8:
Guys, How is your phone holding up these days ? Mine gets really hot in within 10-15 minutes of medium use. Is it just my phone or you guys also facing the same issue ?
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
I am no longer using it as my primary phone. Although when I use it at home for streaming/netflix/localcast it does get slightly warm when I'm multitasking alongwith streaming but it is quite manageable. Never gets hot.
[Nexus 6P General] kkapoorr:
Rooted or not? Overclocked?
[Nexus 6P General] coolsid8:
Rooted. Franco kernel. Everything stock. It has a month of warranty left. Was thinking a generic issue because of indian temperatures or just me ?
[Nexus 6P General] The Frustrated Indian:
Mine is totally fine. I don't game at all. Heavy user. Rooted, running RR. EX kernel. It's Cool and nice.
[Nexus 6P General] kkapoorr:
Something is wrong at your end. Here in North India, temps are pretty low so weather related increases in phone temp is not feasible.

Do you have BetterBatteryStats? Or a similar CPU usage app? Try and see what the CPU clock speed from before it gets hot to the point it is hot. Maybe the kernel settings are pushing up the speed leading to the phone heating up.
[Nexus 6P General] willi9070:
Some time back i heard that Huawei is providing two years of warranty on every phone, but when i checked it for Nexus 6p on their website its still valid for a year since purchase.
[Nexus 6P General] varunrramani:
I thought it was 15 months. Can you please give the link where you read they are giving 2 years warranty?
[Nexus 6P General] kkapoorr:
Where can I see the 15 months warranty period notice?
[Nexus 6P General] varunrramani:
Its here on the thread somewhere
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
According to their site the warranty is 1 year http://m.huawei.com/inmobile/consumer/support/warranty-policy/index.htm
[Nexus 6P General] lycan_codex:
Did anyone get their battery replaced in India? I spoke to Sangeetha mobiles..They said they can replace it for 2300. He said it's OEM battery. Not sure how true it is..

If anyone had replaced it from Huawei service centre..Then..Please provide some info
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
Just ₹2300? Seems too good to be true. Please check the battery yourself before you give the handset. These things can explode.
[Nexus 6P General] sandys1:
I have the same question for delhi - im fairly worried about getting fake batteries.
[Nexus 6P General] willi9070:
What about Huawei service,? How much they r charging for battery, this phone is already extremely hard to open that too without breaking visor. Very poor repairability
[Nexus 6P General] varunrramani:
Did anyone's update get downloaded in the background and was installed when you rebooted phone like seamless update? It just happened to me. My back button wasn't working so I rebooted my phone and there was this installing update screen. It installed January patch. I'm on beta program BTW. It didn't even show that an update was available.
[Nexus 6P General] h3llboy911:
S6 edge / edge + will break the first time you drop it from a good height. It is more like a delicate ornament made of glass which is a fingerprint magnet. I am very eager to get rid of this phone already.
[Nexus 6P General] kunalteji1993:
I think you need to stop being so ignorant and just watch this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpsyGweP5so

Well, honestly this video is for s6 but the material used are same for both the devices and in this video he hasn't dropped the phone on it's side bezel (so please, don't disregard my argument due to the s6 edge having glass at it's side too ) so we can at least consider the s6edge/+ very rigid except for it's side(though nobody has tried it,i don't know).

finally, I don't own an s6 or edge , I just happen to see that video one day.
[Nexus 6P General] jaidev.s:
With Nexus u will surely get updates for next 2 years but with Samsung, getting updates after one year will be difficult. U might have to use CM or ASOP roms then.
[Nexus 6P General] jim.j:
Come on! Don't just bash Samsung. They have provided updates for two years on every flagships since S2. The updates are delayed specially the second year update when they have another phone as their flagship.
[Nexus 6P General] exynoss:
Currently note 5 best smartphones. Nexus 6p is only over note 5 by software update.

Otherwise note 5 wins over 6p every field

[Nexus 6P General] h3llboy911:
Well, ironically I own this phone. :D I wouldn't comment if didn't know. I am typing from it. I have been following s6 edge forums since the day of launch and yes this device is fragile and it has more chances a breaking. I know people who broke the screen or the back glass panel with a 2 feet drop. The back glass replacement cost around 10k for some guy at the Indian s6 edge thread. You never feel safe with this device naked in your hand.

FK seems to be having a hard time deciding the colour of the phone. Started with Moon silver, then aluminium and now silver.

I think the box says silver, but has been marketed as Aluminium, which sounds more snazzy :cowboy:

Nexus 6P earphone and case

Guys,

If anyone wants to see the earphone and the case that will be shipped along with the device, check out Huawei's Twitter handle (can't post links yet).

My guess was correct. The case ain't the one from the Google store but a custom made by Huawei. Loved the earpod style earphones though.

Regards

Pratik
[Nexus 6P General] jim.j:

[Nexus 6P General] ramrock007:
Bhai log !!! Need your help

Got an Nexus 6p from US , model is A1 H1511 which has less radio bands compared to the global version A2 - H1512 .

Problem :- GSM radios are not working , Unable to call or receive calls. Seems like the bands are still set to US frequencies

Solution Tried (with no luck yet) :

> *#*#4636 and tried to change bands

> As per some forums tried flashing Chroma ROM

> CM 14 rom

> Latest Radio bands and most of the old ones

> Bitdomo's pure nexus rom and other roms

still no luck , Can anyone suggest anything on this . Looking forward for your support . Thanx
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Hay if its a Verizon variant ... I guess you could try using Jio...
[Nexus 6P General] ramrock007:
Hi Rohit ,

Thanx for your reply . Jio do works on it as it is only LTE and not GSM .

But Other carriers like Airtel and Idea not working m trying to fix that. As hardware does support it so might be some file got corrupt or setting needs to be changed.

following is the difference in bands between the 2 versions of Nexus 6p

North America:

GSM/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900MHz

UMTS/WCDMA: B1/2/4/5/8

CDMA: BC0/1/10

Rest of world:

GSM/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900MHz

UMTS/WCDMA: B1/2/4/5/6/8/9/19

TD-SCDMA: 34/39

CDMA: BC0/1

I am using Jio Voice app on PN latest build and it never gets connected. have you ever faced this issue? the app status always shows connecting and never gets connected. It didn't work on RR to. :( Please let me know soon. if there is any solution. BTW I'm on roaming too. And a colleague of mine is on roaming and Jio Voice works on his phone.
[Nexus 6P General] lycan_codex:
There is an automatic updates option in developer settings which is enabled by default in 7.0...It maybe because of that

Huawei service centres are Regenerisis at Karve Rd telephone 020-30550097, 41245552 & Reliable Enterprises Akurdi 9371029777

It'd be best to call them & get a quote for the repair.

[Nexus 6P General] Sy1ar:
The Bands you are talking about matter only for LTE connection, I am using North America's model with Airtel (Used Vodafone before Porting Out) and have no problems using it. Just the difference is that you will not be able to enjoy true 4G speeds as the rest of the World model in some areas.

Check This For Network Compatibility
[Nexus 6P General] Sl@nzer:
Hey guys! Is the 6p still worth buying? Are you guys facing any heating or battery issues?
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
IMO it's still a great handset even when I compare it to to my Pixel XL.

All phones heat up when under load. As for battery life, this bit has taken a nose dive after Nougat. But it's tolerable. YMMV of course.

Just keep in mind the 6P doesn't have VoLTE support yet. And worse still it may never get an update that enables this feature. We 6P owners had much hope but have been continually let down by Google. I for one have given up.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Pixel / pixel xl have volte? With jio?
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
They do... Although wouldn't suggest to buy Pixel/XL ... Rather I'll suggest to hold on for at least another 3 months...
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
Yes, they do.
[Nexus 6P General] Amolecule:
Hey guys, a quick question rather advice here. Is it worth upgrading to pixel now from 6p? I am getting about 11k exchange price for 6p and 10k flat discount on hdfc. So the total price for 32 gb variant after exchange comes to about 35.6k! Is it worth trading in my 6p now? I am still confused. I dont have any issues with my 6p as such except for the size and usage in one hand.!! Any advice on this would be appreciated!
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
I upgraded from 6P to a Pixel XL and I'm happy with it. Upgrading to the Pixel might not be a good idea as you're used to a QHD display and one cannot go back to HD now :P

Camera performance is miles better on the Pixel. Absolutely love it. And it's overall zippier than the 6P.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Any reasons?
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
LG G6.. Samsung S8... Mi Mix Pro... Nokia 8 or P1.. are all scheduled to come in the next 3months... Costly yes... Feature loaded and the right one's... Yes
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Lol no way i am going for Samsung :D

I'll wait for Pixel 2nd gen:cool:
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Well I'll be honest... I got no issues going for Samsung as long as they release the Snapdragon variant in India... And we get CyanogenMod going on it...

I am afraid of LG due to the spates of emmc failures being reported for g4 g5...

For the Nokia 8 or P1... Excited..But cautiously....
[Nexus 6P General] Aswin08:
well,any sign of volte in 7.1.2??

Google mentioned this in release,

"enhancements for carriers and users,"
[Nexus 6P General] mintrocks:
That thing caught my attention too. I hope 6P gets VoLTE with this release.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Although I have never used beta as daily driver (enrolled only to check thing out and then reverted) I might use the 7.1.2 beta as daily driver for my Nexus 6P if Jio VoLTE support arrives.
[Nexus 6P General] Sudh4r:
Guys one quick question. I got my device yesterday and its running Android M. Update 7.1.1 is available, is it worth updating? Since, I read lot of users are facing the battery drain issue.
[Nexus 6P General] rockstar9411:
did anyone checked for jio volte in latest beta
[Nexus 6P General] varunrramani:
It is not out yet for nexus 6p. should be coming in a few days.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
I am not sure if it's the software. It's most likely that the battery is getting degraded faster. New Nexus 6P users are getting 4-5 hours SOT easily. My Nexus 6P which is more than a year old just barely touches 3 hours SOT even without a SIM in it. I am considering getting it's battery changed from a Huawei ASC.

EDIT: Just spoke to a Huawei ASC in Lamington Road, Mumbai. ₹1086 is what they've quoted. Might get it done very soon.
[Nexus 6P General] Sudh4r:
Thank you for the quick reply. Let me observe the battery life for a couple of days in M. Post that will update to 7.1.1 So this way I can figure out if there is any major difference in the SOT.
[Nexus 6P General] CrashOverride1995:
Does VoLTE work with the latest Pure Nexus ROM after Beans fixed the VoLTE problem in the ROM?
[Nexus 6P General] :
try and tell us?
[Nexus 6P General] CrashOverride1995:
I don't yet have this device. I am torn between 6P and OP3T. I just wanted to know if this device has VoLTE or not.
[Nexus 6P General] Aswin08:
Pure Nexus ROM alone cant bring volte to india..i m using latest version of PN and it doesn't add volte for india.

Wait till 7.1.2 comes to 6P in few hours or days,it have little possibility of adding volte.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
No custom ROMs can bring Jio VoLTE support. Google needs to add support to the radio.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
Since you are looking for a new handset with VoLTE support go in for the OP3T. They're also rolling out Nougat already. It also has the SD821 like the Pixel range.

It is doubtful if the Nexus 6P will get VoLTE support. But I hope to be pleasantly surprised some day.

Idea Cellular, Airtel and most major operators will be rolling out VoLTE in the 12-18 months. So having VoLTE support will assume more importance as time goes by.
[Nexus 6P General] CrashOverride1995:
I own a Nexus 5(7.1.1) and as we all know development for Nexus (now Pixel) never stops even after Google ends support. That's why I am considering 6P among my options for a new phone.

PS. Not in a hurry to buy a new phone will wait for 7.1.2 to see if VoLTE is added or not.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
I wouldn't put too much faith in dev/3rd party ROMS enabling VoLTE properly..if that's what you mean by 'development never stops'.

Yes, it's best to wait. It's only a matter of days before N712 rolls out to program participants.
[Nexus 6P General] CrashOverride1995:
I meant we nexus users get the latest Android version even if it's not officially released by Google in just a matter of days after official source is released which is not the same in case of other devices.
[Nexus 6P General] willi9070:
OnePlus development circuit is also on par with nexuses look at OnePlus community here at xda. Buying a nexus phone is not a great idea. Nothing sets this phone apart from cheaper alternatives like OnePlus 3t. As far as official updates go, we haven't recieved anything major that has affected phone's performance in a positive manner.
[Nexus 6P General] The Frustrated Indian:
Feb patch is out. Someone please flash and confirm that VoLTE isn't there yet.
[Nexus 6P General] hunt:
February security patch doesn't include VoLTE. Hoping VoLTE into 7.1.2. Fingers crossed!

[Nexus 6P General] Rajeev:
Friends

I am an old user of N6P. Because of some family problems i sold it. Now using One Plus 3. I am really happy with the development of OP3 but still camera is a problem for all custom roms. Because no camera blobs are released by One Plus. So i decided to sell OP3 and will purchase N6P later. I also read that N6P has better camera than OP3. I really don't care about S820 and 6 gb ram. Because both OP3 and N6P does same performance...

So my question is :-

Does N6P heat alot ? I mean very high heat or ?

From 0 to 100% charge how much time it will take?
[Nexus 6P General] Aswin08:
Camera? Definitely 6P is better

Heat? Nope,no heating issues.Using it for 14-15 months

Charging- Not sure about exact time.Charging is really fast with original charger.Should take less than 2 hours.
[Nexus 6P General] Rajeev:
Thanks my friend..
