Cross posting from the 5X thread as this one seems to be more active.

My 5X is on the way, and like everyone else I'm looking for a C->A cable/C->Micro B Adapter.

Do the cables you guys have pass CheckR? Would be great if we could make a list of all the cables that stick to the standards (via CheckR) since none of the cables available in India are Benson approved - except the expensive Belkin.

Has the C->A cable on the damned Play Store ever been in stock?!!
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
Other than the ones that came with the phone, I have 2 cables:

a) Belkin USB A to USB C, passes the CheckR test. Costs about Rs 1200. This is 2m long

b) Kohin****su USB A to C, passes the CheckR test. Costs about Rs 450. It is 1m long & looks much like the OnePlus red flat cable (which does not meet the USB C specs and also fails the CheckR test).

The Belkin is much better in quality and you truly get what you pay for. Both are USB2 cables. These phones are USB2. The Belkin USB A to C (USB3) is about 2K. So unless you have a USB3 gadget that can use the extra speed this cable offers don't buy it.
[Nexus 6P General] roofrider:
Thanks. The Belkin is more expensive than the official one, but its a better option than importing an Orzly cable for 1K I guess (Belkin will be of higher quality for slightly more money, but Orzly cant be bad either).

I did come across the Kohin****su. There are 2 kinds and both seem to pass CheckR according to the comments.

1. The one that looks like the OnePlus cable [Rs. 450 + shipping (70)] - link

2. The nylon braided cable [Rs. 495 + shipping (70)]- link

But I have to say I'm a little skeptical of the above cables especially since the seller's explanation of USB 2 cables and 3A is anything but clear.

For example:

WTH! Either he has no idea what he's talking about or he does not know to articulate it properly. A USB C->A cable should not charge at 3A. While the cable is passing CheckR, the seller is complicating things.

[MENTION=4438668]Sharp-Razr[/MENTION]: Maybe you can use the Ampere app to test further?

Right now I'm leaning toward the Xiaomi Micro USB to Type-C adapter from Aliexpress for $4.35 (Rs. 295). It can be bought for as little as Rs. 100 from Tinydeal and other similar sites, but the downside is the long delivery time.

I guess either the Xiaomi or the Kohin****su would suffice till Google restocks its cables.
[Nexus 6P General] nageshv24:
I bought the Benson approved Xiaomi Type C adapter here.

http://www.ebay.in/itm/Xiaomi-Mi-US...male-Cable-Converter-Connector-/252247449674?

Delivered within 2 days to Bangalore.
[Nexus 6P General] roofrider:
Woah! Thanks. I hadn't looked in eBay, this seems like the best option. So its genuine? CheckR and stuff? The guy seems to be incorrectly describing it as a USB 3.1 device.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
IMO the nylon braided cable would have been my 1st preference had I known it existed. Saw it too late. But let me tell you the Kohin****su cable charges at a full 1.5-1.7A. It passes the CheckR test. The seller is not technically inclined. Charging rates and transfer speeds are two different things. For e.g. the Belkin cable can take 3A (on the package too) but is USB2. While the Kohin cable is definitely USB2 and takes about 2A. Now keep in mind this is some no name Chinese cable labelled by the Indian dealer/importer. So take the manufacturer's/dealer's claim with a pinch of salt. Which is why I prefer to cough up a bit more and buy a known brand like Belkin.

Yeah, I checked with the Ampere app (& Gsam), the charging is @ 1.5-1.6A thru the Belkin using a Samsung 2A charger. It's about the same with the red Kohin****su cable. As said before, both pass the CheckR test so seem to be safe to use. I bought it as a spare just in case. The Belkin is the one that remains plugged into the charger. My bet is on the Belkin. I'd have purchased some cables from the GPS but they're perennially out of stock

PS - The Chinese cable doesn't fit as snugly into the socket as the Belkin. It seems a bit loose to me. The Belkin snugly clicks into place. Again..u get what you pay for. Do I recommend this Kohin brand? Yeah, as a backup not as the main daily use cable.
[Nexus 6P General] nageshv24:
Yes, it did pass CheckR. It looks genuine. I have no problems with charging (not rapid charging) and using it to transfer files between PC and 6P.
[Nexus 6P General] roofrider:
Thanks guys. I pulled the trigger on the Xiaomi. For the time being I think that's good enough, as data transfer will be the primary purpose. I will wait and see if Google

will restock its cables.
[Nexus 6P General] Touchmetallic:
Guys, can I go for flipkart replacement if the screen is scratched? I didn't receive it that way...
[Nexus 6P General] jayesh:
No. Attempting to do so, when the phone was not received scratched, would be fraud.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
So i loved the N6p

Then purchased it

And regretted my decision coz i could buy i6s as well

After approx 10 days

I really love my N6p

Didn't took me much to the fun stuff as i already have N5

Cheers ?
[Nexus 6P General] Touchmetallic:
I didn't see it any different than people replacing their piece over imaginary display issues earlier in this thread but I guess you're right.

Flipkart store credit rs.3000 for nexus 6p credited today in my account.(Dec 21 to Dec 23 sale)
[Nexus 6P General] sharp87:
Did you get any price discount for nexus 6p on that day ? like Rs. -2000 off..
[Nexus 6P General] KoolSIM:
I got Rs 3,000 credited in my Flipkart Wallet too (just that I cannot use it to buy anyone's products there except WS Retail).

I had got Rs 2,000 off when I bought it in the sale period between Dec 21 - 23. Mine may have been one of the last orders. I purchased at around 11:50 PM on Dec 23. I used a Citibank Card, so that gave me an extra cashback of Rs 1,750 too.

Great phone!! And I suppose I got it for a good bargain price so soon after its official launch.
[Nexus 6P General] rajshining:
Hi Koolsim, Did you get you Citibank cashback of Rs 1750 credited to your account yet? Meanwhile I also got my store credit from fk.
[Nexus 6P General] gallery:
Yes I got discount of rs.2000+ Citibank offer Rs.1750
[Nexus 6P General] ijayesh:
Guys can you suggest me a decent earphones. Costs around 2-2.5 k I am using skullcandy fix from last 2 years though the bass is not which I was expecting from my previous experience with skullcandy. And now I see method I don't know how they feel like or how they sounds but if anyone using method or other than this please do suggest me. Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] KoolSIM:
Naa! Not yet! The Citibank cashback will probably come 2-3 months down the line.
[Nexus 6P General] aniketkuber:
After some research I ordered a Sony x30ex .. Waiting for them to arrive .. Everybody claims it has an amazing bass.. Although I m not a basshead I can always tame them through an equilizer .. Looking forward to them..

[Nexus 6P General] sharp87:
i too ordered my N6P on Dec 22

but still I haven't got any store credits
[Nexus 6P General] percy5911:
Im using the skull candy method.. Got it for 2k.. The head phones are pretty decent.. Good bass and sound quality... But almost after a year the sound quality has decreased a bit not much... I still hav my warranty pending so ill go and get it replaced.
[Nexus 6P General] senthilrameshjv:
Guys two things.

1. Got my store credit today.. Thinking to spend part of it on a tgsp or an headphones. Any good options?

2. Anyone would like to join nexus 6p whatsapp group, pm me ur name and number or ping me at 9894711699
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
I guess you are aware that the store credit can be used to purchase items sold by WS-Retail only, and AFAIK, they don't sell any TGSP's.

If you want a good TGSP, head over to ebay and buy Nillkin Pro, It is THE BEST. The seller is from Chennai, so you can go to him directly and get one if you want.
[Nexus 6P General] vasishta.sushant:
Did you get any email notification or the credit just showed up in your account?
[Nexus 6P General] gallery:
I got email notification from Flipkart
[Nexus 6P General] vasishta.sushant:
Thanks for confirming. Looks like lot of people have got their store credit and I am still here, waiting for the notification to show up.

Looking for a fast charger other than the stock one which we are going to get with N6P

Tia
[Nexus 6P General] gallery:
Check this page for fast charger availability from Google..

https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_charger
[Nexus 6P General] SURYA:
Anything other than google store one if available will be very helpful
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
I'm in the same boat. There are no options available right now in India, period. The one on Google Store is 'Coming Soon' since eternity. The only way is to procure one (brands like Anker/Aukey/Choetech/Soneik etc) from Amazon US via forwarding services like ishopinternational/ibhejo but turns out to be costly. ishop quoted around 3k for procuring a charger and cable combo.
[Nexus 6P General] SURYA:
Everything is coming soon or costly AF in google store and others are not compatible :/ very frustrating :(

Hi guys, I've rooted my device and installed custom recovery. Can anyone please let me know how to flash the February system MMB29Q update without losing root? I've searched the forums but I'm unable to understand the jargons all that much and don't want to make any mistake.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Afaik you cannot apply the system update if you're rooted. The system partition needs to be untouched for the update to apply. You can reflash the system.img using fastboot and then try flashing the OTA. I'm not sure whether we can flash Google OTA ZIPs via custom recovery; you may have to flash the stock recovery too.
[Nexus 6P General] richie.slayer:
I had recently purchased nilkin pro from that seller, does your screen protector pick up lot of micro scratches?

I see a lot of micro scratches when in direct sunlight.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
If it a system-less root, then you can just flash stock recovery and boot image, and then sideload OTA zip.

BTW, you can do away with custom recovery by just temporarily booting into it whenever needed, using this command:

fastboot boot customrecovery.img

One drawback is, you always need a computer whenever you want to flash something via recovery. But other than this there is no point in using custom recovery.

Guys thinking of getting the Nexus 6P. The big question is - Gold or Graphite? :D
[Nexus 6P General] KoolSIM:
Suit your style buddy!! :D For me it was Graphite! :cool:

Off-topic, but GSMArena reports that Amazon.in has stopped returns for smartphone purchases. Only replacements for defective / damaged in transit phones. Another source says that one has to initiate a replacement within 10 days of receiving the purchased phone. People were abusing the system of returns and actually returning phones by citing the 'No Longer Needed' option. :(

Amazon follows Flipkart in this regard! Thanks to the few rotten eggs amongst us, genuine people will now suffer!
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
I got the gold one

Trust me if you wanna Make something more premium that is already premium then buy the gold one

[Nexus 6P General] aniketkuber:
Guys I see that there is a thread going on about the nexus 6p warping around volume buttons but there is no such discussions here.. Are your all phones fine..? I got it in December and I don't have anything yet but the bend issue has me scared since I plan to keep this device for a long time..
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Don't bother reading that thread. They're just from people who sit on phones in their backpocket and cry that their phones bent. My phone is absolutely fine. I commute in Mumbai Local Trains daily, so think about the stress the phone goes through in the jam packed trains. And my phone is still fine as a rock.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
I don't get this, these guys deliberately try their best to use or bend a phone in a manner it was never designed for or intended to be used, and then whine and groan when it gets damaged? What sense does this make?
[Nexus 6P General] sunnyhj:
Hey Guys,

I just ordered mine from flipkart today (Silver, 64gb) Got it for 34270k with exchange offer (Samsung S4). I must say i am waiting in anticipation to get back to good old vanila Android free of bloatware and full of smoothness :D

[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Go for the Nillkin; have used MTT, Foso and many others here before and none of those live up to the quality of Nillkin.

If you can, get your hands on Intelliglass. That is one tough cookie to scratch or chip.

[Nexus 6P General] rishabh56:
Going to order one. Just one question does it works fine with spigen rugged armour case?
[Nexus 6P General] harkirat01:
Guys for a difference of around 5k INR, is it worth buying the Phone from US instead from India itself? Buying from India gets me a one year warranty which I feel is a good safety net to have!

And also, has anyone insured their Nexus 6P? The reason I'm asking this is because I had purchased the Nexus 6 in the month of Nov last year and I managed to drop it and damage the glass, the very next month! So now that's been lying with me and has pretty much been of no use. Now I've decided to get rid of it and get the Nexus 6P. And this time I am thinking of getting the phone insured as well.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Giving away warranty for 5k is really not a good idea. I've never insured any of my phones as I take good care of it. A case + screenguard is the first thing I get as soon as I order a phone and if the phone arrives first I do not use it unless it's inside a case and a screenguard is on.
[Nexus 6P General] roofrider:
I would give up the warranty, but then the only thing I fear for is the device coming with a defect, in which case I'd be helpless. If the 6p is not notorious for defects then get it from US. Sorry don't have a 6p, but I recently got my 5x from US.

[Nexus 6P General] harkirat01:
Just my thoughts, on one side we have Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and on the other I see expensive screen guard protectors. In what sense can the screen guard protect the already "advance" corning gorilla glass? I think it's more about mental piece and just protecting an expensive part with a relatively cheaper alternative (though the intelliglass @ 1700 is definitely not cheap!)

Just to make it clear, I am not picking up on anyone, I am just trying to understand the exact use and do we really need it.
[Nexus 6P General] Sid_dominic56:
When your device will fall on the face the screen will probably break but if you have a good tempered glass on it then the glass will take the fall and instead of the screen being shattered, the glass will shatter and the screen will survive. Now does it make sense to have a good quality tempered glass on your device?
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Unless the display is made of Sapphire, a silicon particle is enough to scratch any reinforced glass, be it Corning Gorilla or Asahi Dragontail or others. Once you get a scratch on the screen it becomes an eyesore and also reduces the resale value of the device. Plastic/fiber based screen protectors are a good option but it catches scratch easily and you won't get oleophobic coating too. In case of tempered glass, good quality ones like intelliglass gives you the same feeling of the existing glass on the display along with shatter protection as pointed above. And as you said, if you do get scratches on it, you can take it off and install another one; a much better and cheaper option than getting the glass replaced.

[Nexus 6P General] harkirat01:
I do agree with you. Infact I feel the graphite color of the Nexus 6P, the edges might chip off easily. I think this phone needs a case as well. Any other screen guard suggestion apart from intelliglass?
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Nillkin ones are preferred choice for many folks here. Couldn't find it on Amazon or eBay, I guess it's OOS. MTT Tempered Glass has positive reviews on Amazon and seems to be good enough for ₹499. I'm using intelliglass though. Got it for $18.85 for a pack of two.
[Nexus 6P General] harkirat01:
Thanks for the info. I am checking out some of them online infact the intelliglass one sells for ~11 USD. These things are really reasonable out there. And you seriously got a sweet deal! :)
