What happened to your Nexus 6? Like what you told them for RMA?

I'm in Toronto. Cheapest plan I can get is $45 for 2gb.
[Nexus 6P General] iZack187:
I had this exact problem since the very beginning: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/nexus-6-speaker-static-white-noise-t2962949

It honestly never really bothers me that much but hey, I knew I had a good RMA excuse lol, and I also threw in the good old "my battery seems to be dying more and more quickly"

For the static issue though, I made sure to specify that it happened with stock 5.0, 5.1.1, and 6.0, freshly flashed, to confirm it wasn't software related.

Although I do make full use of cloud storage some of us still prefer to keep things on our devices. I have almost 30 GB of pics and videos from over the years alone...32gb not much use for people like myself.

But I suppose it all comes down to how you prefer to use your device.

Got mine for free on black friday from rogers. picked up at wireless wave... waived the $20 activation fee since I had to go pick it up (2min drive from my house)

My plan only went up $5/month for the upgrade (I was on a pretty cheap no contract plan from my N5)

Couldnt be happier. GREAT reception here in niagara... basically double what my N5 gets on LTE, and about 3x the battery life

Anyone know if the Videotron Nexus 6p is the exact same model as the Telus or Google version?
[Nexus 6P General] Soulfly3:
No idea, but I got my phone from Rogers and there is absolutely NO rogers branding on or in the phone... Barebone stock. no logos, no nothing
[Nexus 6P General] c_86:
thats typically, all nexus devices are like that...
[Nexus 6P General] h_zee13:
Yeah I know Rogers, Telus, and Bell sell the Nexus phones with no branding but Videotron is always sketchy. Someone on kijiji is selling his 32gb for 600$ closed box and I'm very tempted to return mine back to Google and buying his. The holidays are making broke
[Nexus 6P General] Soulfly3:
ah ok... Ive always bought all my nexus devices from google play.

this time, I literally got the phone free., so I went thru rogers. no difference at all in the phone, was surprised.

figured at least some rogers apps in there
[Nexus 6P General] c_86:
Rogers apps, maybe... that is dependent on the SIM you place in the phone... I got a bell version and I had Bell TV soon after booting, but other then that no other branded apps... it all depends...
[Nexus 6P General] keljai:
Getting a subsidized phone is really dependent on plan. I got 6gb for 45. If I get a phone, they want 90 making it pointless

There must be some cables from Amazon.ca I need a few and will look tomorrow

hi guys,

sorry for the intrusion,

I really want this device, yet its not available in my country..but a cousin of mine lives in Canada, and would like to ask her to bring the Nexus 6P for this holiday (she's coming home).. was wondering where to look for this device online store or offline store with the best price possible (of course off contract)

please let me know, so I can tell her..

thanks a bunch :D
[Nexus 6P General] Soulfly3:
any rogers store, telus, bell etc will sell it off contract.

wireless wave will as well. The price is 699$cad, I believe. Anyways, point is, they'll all sell it off contract, Im sure.

Not really useless, depends on your usage. I still have 43gb on my 6p...
[Nexus 6P General] Soulfly3:

I have NO use for more than 32GB... This is the first device Ive ever had over 16GB.

Dont see what makes it useless... has the exact same everything your phone has... Not everyone takes 100,000 pics or puts 500 albums on their device.

Anyone on Rogers upgraded to 6.0.1?

It looks like I lost LTE.

I checked setting and I have LTE selected and I also tried resetting the LTE configuration to default.

My GF didn't get the update yet on her 6P so she is running 6.0 and the LTE is fine.
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
That's been happening across a lot of carriers not just here but Tmo and att. Seems hit and miss.its all over the Dev threads.

You can fastboot back to the previous baseband if its really bad.

When I go to 6.01 I'll be staying with the current baseband to avoid any issues.

I wouldn't say that's great, I'm routinely over 100 on most of my devices on rogers...which is basically Fido.

I am planning to buy a Cardboard for the nexus 6p. Do you guys know where we can buy a reliable one in Canada? There are too many options on Amazon.ca....

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

I searched before, only the orzly ones with "New Certified" in the title are typc C compliant.

Last week, the single one (1 meter) was $9.99, but the shipping will take one month, right now it changed to $12.49, but it will arrive before Christmas. For four pack, the compliant version is $29.49. So I believe he bought an old version.
[Nexus 6P General] ptesmoke:
they are C compliant, they are the exact one they resent to Benson, re read his review and the listing. maybe they're back up in price now but I got them on sale for $14.99 yesterday.

---------- Post added at 04:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 AM ----------

I just checked the listing again, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018F8BGLA/ref=ya_st_dp_summary

they are up to $19.99 now. likely because a bunch of us started snagging them. $14.99 and free shipping when I ordered was a serious deal. also...you were maybe on amazon.ca ? maybe that's why u seen the different price
[Nexus 6P General] dkm911:
Oh yes, I searched on Amazon.ca, maybe that's the difference!
[Nexus 6P General] ptesmoke:
I would guess so, I avoid the .ca store altogether, the .com has such lower prices, even the items I want that don't ship to Canada I have a borderlinx Addy that I get it shipped to for free in the US, then I oay borderlinx to ship to me and its still always considerably cheaper than the .ca store.

Im BL unlocked,decrypted, with twrp installed and rooted on a custom rom so no OTA for me lol.

Just updated to the new 6.0.1 the bootloader and radio ( we will see how that works out) and then just flashed a factory pre rooted non encrypting 6.0.1 rom.

[Nexus 6P General] ultyrunner:
Yes, [MENTION=4463570]force70[/MENTION] if I had unlocked the BL or rooted the device I know I wouldn't get OTA updates. For now I'm staying stock, unrooted in part, because I've been pretty happy with Marshmallow and most of the reasons I've rooted and flashed custom ROMs in the past, was to get closer to stock. [MENTION=3766236]cheemacool[/MENTION] ... I'd expect Google to push the OTA update directly on a phone purchased directly from them. I believe my friend on a stock Nexus 6 (Telus) gets OTA updates right from Google.
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
Yes I would expect a Google purchased device to get updates over carrier purchased devices also. Don't have a clue how they decide who gets them or when though.

Hi

please please please I need an answer. i googled it at length but could not find a reliable answer. I want to buy a Rogers Nexus 6p (obviously from Rogers). Will the phone be locked on Rogers or could I use it on other carriers as well? The sale guy from the Rogers store said it will locked, same the guy from Bestbuy.

i thought these phones come sim unlocked no matter what carrier you buy it from.

I would appreciate a fast answer so I could buy it the following days.
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
Sim unlocked if you purchase from google yes, if it's a rogers device id image that its locked. Hopefully someone who has a carrier device can confirm or deny for you.

That said rogers only has the 32gb version, Id suggest going for the 128gb from google, no such thing as too much storage lol :D

Sent from my Note 5, Note 4 or Nexus 6
[Nexus 6P General] hosho:
Thanks for your answer but i would buy from rogers as i will be using some rogers rewards point i have. 32gb will be enough for me, i have a 16gb phone right now. but i need an unlocked phone as I travel frequently and change sim cards and carriers often.

Can anybody confirm or infirm if the 6Ps sold by Canadian carriers are sim unlocked or locked?

Many thanks
[Nexus 6P General] ptesmoke:
all nexus devices sold by Rogers are sim unlocked. They're actually exactly like what you'd get from Google. Not a single Rogers app on the device.
[Nexus 6P General] cheemacool:
It will be Sim Unlocked even if you purchase from rogers. I use to work with Rogers and Nexus devices are always Unlocked. So don't worry you are good even if you buy with Rogers. Only downside is you only have one storage option. BTW best buy is offering on 0$ with 75$ gift card on this boxing day.
[Nexus 6P General] hosho:
Did you try it yourself?

Did anybody put a different sim card in nexus 6p and it worked?

Yes i want to buy with a new contract from bestbuy (0$ + 75$ gift card) and then call to cancel and pay the phone in full and keep it.
[Nexus 6P General] RodKahx:
I can conform coming from Rogers they come sim unlocked.
[Nexus 6P General] bobola:
How much do you have to pay to cancel the account?

you dont just pay for the device, you have to pay a fee PER MONTH left on the contract, as well.
[Nexus 6P General] Devhux:
That's actually illegal now as part of the wireless code of conduct. If they try to do that, definitely contact the CCTS.
[Nexus 6P General] Ad.Shk2:
I've been thinking of doing the same, how long before you can cancel the contract?? And does the discount apply to the price you have to pay for the phone?

Also , nexus phones are ALWAYS unlocked.

---------- Post added at 06:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

Nope, not anymore. Just the phone price.
[Nexus 6P General] hosho:
I went to bestbuy yesterday and I signed a contract with Rogers and took the Nexus 6p at 0$ (down from 49.99$) with a 125% gift card. In their flyer the gift card was advertised for 75$ but in store they told me that with Rogers was 125$ (and 75$ for all the other carriers). I called in Rogers beforehand to have them wave my activation fee but they refused (it was worth trying). The economic inducement was 650$.

When I got home, I called in Rogers and told them I want to cancel. Initially they told to get the phone back in the store but I told them I spoke more than 30 minutes on the phone already. After being on the phone with them for 1 hour (mostly on hold, maybe they were hoping I would give up) I finally got to cancel the account. I had to pay 650$ + tx + 20$ activation fees and I got to keep the gift card. Since I cancelled the same day with no actually use of the line they told me they will not charge me pro-rata for that day. I had them repeat multiple times the total amount that i own (i know it get recorded) and I asked for the interaction ID to keep for my records.

I spent the gift card on a vacuum cleaner today.

So in conclusion I got the Nexus 6p for 545$+tx. Hopefully this helps you.
[Nexus 6P General] Ad.Shk2:
Is the 650 including taxes?? Because there's a discount of $200 on the price of the phone ($700). So it should be $500....
[Nexus 6P General] hosho:
No there was a rebate of 50$ making the phone 650$ (before taxes). I also thought there will be a 200$ (i read somewhere same 200$) but in the contract it was written as 650$ for the economic inducement. Maybe because I signed as an additional line (I was already with Rogers) and not as a new contract.
[Nexus 6P General] oxxshadow:
Anyone had any issues of their 6P "bending" near the volume buttons. It seems to be a really common issue on threads. At first, I didn't think too much of it, but the number of people reporting it, and the fact that all the bends happen in the same spot say its not a coincidence. Any Canadian 6P owners know if Google's standard 1 year warranty would be able to cover this?

I'm using my Bell sim at the moment, and my work provides me with VVM (although it's for 'blackberry') but can't actually get the setting to show up in the dialer.

Oh and I constantly see this question being asked a lot - all Nexus devices (whether purchased from Google or Carrier) are always unlocked. Google will not sell a locked device.
[Nexus 6P General] y2whisper:
Don't think VVM supported on Android devices
[Nexus 6P General] Soulfly3:
I believed this too, but it is incorrect, apparently.

Both the UK and Japan have at least one carrier who have managed to lock their nexus 6p devices somehow.
[Nexus 6P General] kjb86:
android M introduced native support for VVM

Some users in the USA were able to turn it on, as it was hidden in the menus

I guess the SIM card is capable of hiding system settings?
[Nexus 6P General] y2whisper:
Yes I assume it would normally be under calls in the phone settings but is hidden. Would love to have this feature turned on even if it's just for 8-10 vmails that get left on my phone in a year.
[Nexus 6P General] Ad.Shk2:
I'm pretty sure that's against the agreement with Google. Google will never lock it's devices. That's why it has had so many problems with some US carriers in the past who wanted to lock their nexus devices but Google wouldn't let them. So they preferred not to sell them.
