Isn't that part of Nexus Protect though? How much does Nexus protect cost in India? Well i was gonna finally buy the A64 this week i might just wait a bit more if there are plans for it be available on Google Store. :/
[Nexus 6P General] manas.neo:
right next to the flash. If look closely in bright light you can see the module there. most of the cheap cases which came out early had the issue, as did the screen protectors.
[Nexus 6P General] ananbanka:
Been calling up the Store support every Monday. :P

Google handles the warranty when bought from the Store. Huawei handles the warranty when bought from anywhere else in India. Huawei has pathetic service centres, based on all the reviews I've read. And they aren't even exclusive to Huawei. Considering Nexus 6P got a repairability score of 2/10 from iFixit, I'd recommend you wait another week and get one from Google!
[Nexus 6P General] r_c111:
Thank you just checked. But the laser af is helpful only during videos or photos also. As while taking photos i did not see any difference in focusing.
[Nexus 6P General] manas.neo:
Yes. The camera function does not 100% rely on the laser autofocus module and indeed will take pictures without it. But I am sure you won't get results as good as with the module in action (in certain situations, if not all). Especially in cases where you need to take a quick snap.

Which custom roms are people using on Nexus 6P. I have just installed CM13 initial nightlies and looks good but has some bugs.

Here is one of the intial review of CM13 on Nexus 6P

[Nexus 6P General] r_c111:
Thank you. Using it temporarily till i get a good tempered glass as i have the habit of putting the phone upside down
[Nexus 6P General] r_c111:
How is the tempered glass holding on? Is it fingerprint resistance ?
[Nexus 6P General] ssaransh:
To everyone who got replacements from flipkart, do they collect the old device beforehand or do they collect it when the replacement device is delivered?

Does anyone know how to change dpi without root
[Nexus 6P General] ssaransh:
Thanks. Got my G32 a few days ago and while everything else is super amazing, the display has a really bad tint. The top 70% of the screen has a very dirty yellow hue and the bottom part is pinkish white. I wonder if the replacement will be free of issues; getting multiple replacements is a big hassle.
[Nexus 6P General] hacksome:
Very impressed with this. Surprisingly good oleophobic coating as well.

G64 from Flipkart. Recent orders. Build dates, people!

Had a really bad experience buying offline from Ezone. They don't have any kind of replacement/refund policy. The day after I bought the phone, they referred me to the pathetic Huawei service centres to get the display "repaired". Finally had to sell it off at a much lower price.

Confused between buying from Flipkart and Google Store. Called them up today. Said they had no idea about when the 6p would be avilable at Indian Google Store.

Not sure if they are quality-checking or just letting the retailers make some profit according to some sort of behind-the-scenes contract.
[Nexus 6P General] pxdx:
Nice review.. Is the finger print sensor working with CM 13?
[Nexus 6P General] G1sanju:
Yes, finger print sensor is working fine.

How do you know yours' has reached india? Mine shipped on 18th but I haven't received it, neither can I track it.

How are you tracking it? Mine was shipped via USPS first class international. I can't track it in india post :(
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
bhai USPS sucks and they dont update any tracking information... as mine had DHL and i registered for any updates.. so got the tracking no. as well for India Post...

although weird thing my DHL and USPS both shipped on same date and though I was able to track DHL but not USPS i got both of 'em on the same day... so win win for me.. :p
[Nexus 6P General] m0h1t:
Was your DHL waybill number and indiapost waybill number the same?

I don't have a separate India post number. I'm trying to track with the upsp number only which has worked in the past. I'm not getting anything now.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
different no. for DHL and IndiaPost...

Brothers, those who've replaced their hones with flipkart, please help me out with the process.

I've requested for a replacement for my G64 due to display tint issue. I've following ustions

1. After placing the return request, they sent a link to install SmartChk app, but when I try to install it is shows "parsing package error". I guess it is not compatible with Android 6.0. In such case how the replacement process will be like?

2. Do e need to handover them the entire package that came or just the phone itself?
[Nexus 6P General] Simran Kalra:
Can anyone tell me the good tempered glass for 6p to buy online?
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
Have you or anyone used the double data offer? Can you share with me what plan you had - I mean what kind of myPlan and what kind of booster pack and how did the double data get applied and all the details please? Can someone share?

Reason I am asking is cause I am getting conflicting reports from the Airtel Customer Care guys.
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Never dealt with their smart check app, nor did they ever ask me. My process this time around was very pleasant and smooth. I call them and stated the following.

1) Hi, so and so, I purchased a Nexus 6p and am very satisfied with the phone besides a "defect" with the screen having uneven color uniformity. No its not cracked, No I dont have a screen protector on it and yes I have read over multiple forums as well as your review that such cases have occurred . Even Google has acknowledged the matter as I called them prior to calling you and they have suggested I contact Flipkart to conduct a replacement.

2) I do not want a refund as I am pleased with the device besides the defect

3) They will apologize for the issue and I usually state the obvious that Its not your fault so no need to apologize, Its a manufacturing issue. (This will give them a relief that you are not pissed at them and you are making them confirm the manufacturer is at fault)

4) They will put you on hold to check stocks and blah blah, and confirm that please do have the box ready and all of its contents with it, so and so.

5) Confirm the replacement.

6) Check online, within a moments time your order will reflect replacement and your replacement device will show order has been confirmed.

7) Wait and do a pooja ensuring your replacement isnt faulty.

I am in the same boat and will get my replacement tomorrow.

Hope this helped

Guys for those who are looking for a Case for your Nexus 6P here is the good news:

Spigen Rugged Armor case is listed at 899 on amazon right now, but when pre-booking opened it was 799.

The good news is, you can still buy it for 809 rs which is 10 rs more than pre-booking amount. Here's how:

Visit authorized reseller's website using below link:

http://www.tekkitake.com/products/nexus-6p-case-rugged-armor-1

Use coupon code:

TEKKITAKE

And place order.

I can vouch for their service as my case was delivered by FedEx and if you are skeptical, use CoD. You can thank me if you liked the deal.

P.S. - I ordered it for 719 rs because previous to release it was listed at 799 rs instead of 899. Hurry up to save money while you can :)
[Nexus 6P General] shayonpal:
Ordered for the Graphite 64GB last night. Delivery is expected tomorrow. Eagerly waiting for it. However, could you guys suggest some decent car mobile holders that won't be positioned in a way that the power or volume buttons get pressed because of it?
[Nexus 6P General] nachiket_xda:
I am using double data. Just subscribe to that offer and Recharge with 255. You'll get 1gb in main balance and 1 GB in special account. I don't know how to check special account balance but when my main data was over i got 1gb again in my main account. Check with *129*08#

Guys, anybody from Hyderabad bought 6p from a retail store... Plz do share..
[Nexus 6P General] CallMeAldy:
When on a call if you put your 6P on speaker do you hear echo and loud screeching sound coming from the 6P speaker or is it just me? (A64 from Flipkart, October batch)

P.S :- The sound issue occurs only when the caller is near you which is maybe weird since it never happened with any other device.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Replacement Experience

Things went exactly like you described but with couple of interesting questions.

Placed the replacement request midnight. Received SMS that I'll get a call by tech people by 1.00 PM. Also got a link to download their SmartChk app, but that didn't get installed throwing package passing error i.e app not updated to Marshmallow :silly:.

Got call from a sweet voice lady at 12.45 PM. She asked me what are the things I tried to rectify the issue, said SW update and F-Reset, Though I know these things have nothing to do with pink tint, said that to avoid receiving stupid suggestions from her. She then asked, "You received the device on 27th but you are complaining it now, any reason for this?" I said I wanted to give it sometime to see whether it settles and get resolved on its own. She then asked about SmartChk app, said it is not compatible with Android 6.0. Then she asked me to wait, possibly for the replace/refund approval process. Came back and asked whether I need refund or replacement, I said replacement, she confirmed my address and after a brief pause, authorized the replacement. Got a message at 4.54 PM that the new device is shipped.

Me being 5 hours away from Bangalore, hopefully will get the device my tomorrow morning :silly:.

I feel sad that I have to return this phone because, being graphite in color, it has no imperfections be it paint quality or material quality. To top it of it has Samsung made RAM (saw RAM's made by Hynix and an another unknown manufacturer in Reddit). Feeling anxious whether the replacement device will match this phones build quality and beats it in the display quality. :fingers-crossed:

Bought this one from ebay. Satisfied with its quality, The rounded edge (2.5D design) is nice to use. You can also order intelliGlass directly from their website, but it will take 3-4 weeks to reach. For application, use this method.

Still Replacing??

People are still going for replacements:confused: I thought the so called fresh batch was free from all those issues:(

Is it still wise to purchase 6p now or should i wait for some more time? help me out guys...
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Its more hit than miss, people usually dont go online and say OHH WOW, My device is perfect. Its human tendency to share your issues rather than praise your blessings.

You always have the option to replace or refund, so why not take the chance?
[Nexus 6P General] RohanAJoshi:
Nice to see you here..

This happens to most of devices I've used..

Lg g4, xperia z3, yu yureka and so on..

I always test voice over mic on each device I get.

Phone mic gain, Headset mic gain, noise reduction etc..

When I put phone on speaker and say hello, there's lot of hello hello hello and then screeching...

We speak from device 1 mic, little bit of it goes to device 2 mic at same time, that's what we hear on speaker of device 1 mic, then again from speaker of device 1 mic, it goes to device 2 mic and it's becomes endless loop..

.

That's my theory..

What you say ?
[Nexus 6P General] CallMeAldy:
Cheers man and talking about the issue the other phone (receiver) was on mute the whole time and in another case the person I called was from Pune it happened at least twice in three calls. I'm about to get a refund today and might wait for a few days and get the G64 since it apparently has lesser chances of having defects. This was my 1st replacement device and the speaker output sound below 50% is barely audible whereas it was clearly audible even on 25% in my first device. Had to return the first device because of the screen and cosmetic issue.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Pink tint or no tint?

Brothers, please help me out with this.

Got my replacement phone and seems like it too has pink tint. But The tint is inconsistent with changing angles, just like my previous phone, sometimes it looks okay, sometimes its not. Both phones have same manufacturing date (11-11-2015).

I've upload a series of photos (taken with n5) to get your opinion.

All photos are taken with Display @ 50%, Adaptive off.

http://imgur.com/a/fFAu7

And, those who don't have pink tint issue, can you please post a snap of your phone display with white background? It can be a great reference point to actually define "what is pint tint on nexus 6p?"
[Nexus 6P General] nomad47:
Received my dbrand skins. Funny thing is the date on the postage stamp is one week post the date of shipping email.
[Nexus 6P General] RohanAJoshi:
Ohh, then this sounds defective unit..

Go for replacement..

I got one S64 of November manufacturing, It was totally defect less as per user, no tint etc..

Sold it on ebay cause I m waiting for 128gb launch..

Or maybe Moto X Force..
[Nexus 6P General] CallMeAldy:
Apparently they can't provide more than one replacement so they're going to refund the money. Both my devices were manufactured in October. Thought I'd wait for it to be sold on the Google Store but the representative said it would take about 2-3 weeks. Might just wait a little more and get a G64 hoping it's manufactured in November.
[Nexus 6P General] nomad47:
Nexus 6P being sold in eBay at 46k for 32GB
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Your pics are the reason I called mine for a replacement. I cannot justify being satisfied with a defect; nothing is perfect I know, but I am paying for something to be satisfied with it, not have to live with mediocracy.

In my opinion, if I got another device (replacement expected tomorrow) and it was the same as mine (your pics), I would call for another refund.

P.S - Mine is 11/11 batch also A64

6P Cases

Guys, where do I find the official Nexus case for our 6P? It says not available in Google Store.

That case looks badass to me. :)

This is my first ever Nexus device and I gotta say, 6P has been the THE BEST SMARTPHONE I have ever used. Period! :cool:
[Nexus 6P General] r_c111:
Loving the camera

Was using Note5 previously. Although initially i felt the Note5 camera was way better, but now on comparing i cannot se much difference. In fact i used to get blur pics on note5 may times instead of OIS & with note5 initially i was getting problems with focusing & same blur problem but after removing the cover which was obstructing the Laser AF its seems much better and now to my surprise almost all the photos are blur free which was not in case of note5. May be my hands have become more stable.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Flipkart refused to replace the device and initiated the refund, citing the y can't do replacements for the same problem more than once. :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] ssaransh:
A flipkart executive told me 2 days ago that they will give a second replacement if the replacement device is faulty.

Double standards?
[Nexus 6P General] vikram66778:
That is exactly what i want to avoid in the first place... But anyway though this device seems to be facing a lot more replacements than any other devices i followed on XDA, n to that matter, i have followed quite a handsome no. of devices in here:cowboy:
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Don't know. I just received the replacement device today morning and requested for return within 5 hours. Anyways, I'm going to raise an issue regarding this and press them for a replacement.
[Nexus 6P General] ssaransh:
It's sad to see that your replacement device is also not perfect. What is the build date of this device?
[Nexus 6P General] CallMeAldy:
The Flipkart executive who got me the 1st replacement said the same to me but it turns out to be that all the flipkart executives ain't on the same page which is not surprising. In fact they were asking me to go to a nearest service center to get a confirmation email that the device is faulty and only then they would replace it but they finally initiated a refund since they could not find a service center around me.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
11/11, same as the previous one.
[Nexus 6P General] ssaransh:
It's lame that they still haven't fixed their quality control.
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Thats normal, my first one was replaced 3 times before they refused. Just took a refund and ordered another one a few minutes later.

No, its just being bias towards the cause of customer service.

Its at your discretion to see how you would like to proceed. Perhaps Jan is a more suitable time for you to take the plunge.

Anyone who bought Dbrand, did you order via without tracking or the 28$ tracking one. And if you used non trackable one then did you get your package yet ?
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Requesting again, guys who have "no pint tint" can you please post a snap of your device with white background?

Reading for the last 3 hours at Reddit regarding the display issues,looks likes the "pink tint", "green tint", "yellow tint" are part and parcel of AMOLED displays.
[Nexus 6P General] ssaransh:
For what it's worth, I have read a little bit about AMOLED displays and the color shift at angles is normal. It is normal to see greenish or pinkish colors when you tilt the device but if you see a constant, even color straight up, you're fine. I have had a couple of AMOLED devices in the past and the viewing angles weren't great on those either. But they were fine when you looked at them without tilting.
[Nexus 6P General] nomad47:
Yes I used the non tracking shipping and got it today. Another guy here also got it

here you go
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Looks better. Is it like this from day 1?
[Nexus 6P General] nomad47:
To be honest half of these tint issues are due to the poor oleophobic coating. I noticed slight pink and slight blue tint at some angles. I still notice it. But that's the coating and not the display.
[Nexus 6P General] r_c111:
Here it is
[Nexus 6P General] Maxxxxxxxxxx:
As pointed in some other thread that tints appear far worst when you take pics of it (and appear even if there are none, because of the angle at which you take pics) :P
[Nexus 6P General] manas.neo:
I am getting a feeling that people are getting too paranoid about the tint on display. And i can bet most of the folks reporting the tint over here might possible have never had used an amoled before. As is mentioned by many, amoleds are not consistent with colors when viewed at an angle. So i'd just request you (who has just received their phone) to take time before concluding anything.

I am one of the very first batch of buyers who received the nexus 6P A32. And i am very happy with my phone and find it absolutely perfect. The warm colors can be fixed when a stable build of CM13 is out or if i flash elementalX kernel.
[Nexus 6P General] nitish3072:
DBrand: How many days did it take to reach you after your order ??
[Nexus 6P General] nomad47:
20 days approX
[Nexus 6P General] pxdx:
What you are saying is different to this. Slightly pink / yellow at certain angles uniform across the screen is how Amoled is supposed to be.

But that about those who have pink bleeding only from the bottom or right side, it's a defect and not normal.

What would you call this screen as?
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:

Chamfered Edge

Sent back my 2nd phone and opted for refund. Will order a new 6P tomorrow. Thinking about buying silver this time.

Brothers who are using silver 6P, is that silver chamfered edge any kind of annoyance? The edges in the graphite are very subtle and I like that, on the other hand I feel the silver edges are more of bling (looking at photos, I'm yet to see it in person). How is it in real? Pls suggest.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
Finally ordered a G64 from FKT and will be trading in my Note 4. No more Samsung Notes for a while.

The Mobile Store also offered an exchange for the old handset but no 30 day replacement policy made me wary just in case the unit has a problem. Hope I get a defect free handset. It should be here early next week.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
Great to hear that you got a near perfect device bro.

Your previous one was gray right? How's the chamfered edge's silver bling looks compared to the subtle gray chamfered edge?
[Nexus 6P General] r_c111:
Has any one used titanium backup to freeze any stock apps or services ? I wanted to check as i was using Note5 previously & was using Package Disabler.

One more thing i can see a certain amount of battery drain. Is 10-13 % drain normal for 3 hrs. And i hardly checked my phone during that duration, with wifi on but don't think anything was syncing & checking battery status also didn't give me anything doubtful.

If any one could confirm it?
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
I always had Aluminum.

The edges are clean and not so flashy what so ever. They give off an elegant yet premium look resting on a table.

If you go with a case, its not going to matter anyway.
