Mine is the same. You are paranoid. Enjoy the phone as it is. If you like it keep it, if you don't like it return it, but stop paranoing about imaginary defects. It's a phone. It is expensive (actually it is very expensive for what it is) but in the end it is just a phone. It's not a pacemaker, it's a phone. Nothing is perfect.
[Nexus 6P General] oxxshadow:
I understand your point, but it looks like there is a possibility that the screen will pop off and get worse.
[Nexus 6P General] hosho:
it won't. again, there's many small things you can see...misalignments, warmth, colds...etc. in the end you will get those with any phones. yes, i wish google would have been more carefull with their quality control but in the end you want a phone that delivers not that shines. if the phone works and you can afford it, stop looking for faults and enjoy it. if it bend or explodes...well..that;s misfortunate. you will change this phone in less than a year anyway.
[Nexus 6P General] oxxshadow:
thats the thing, I plan on keeping it for 2 years though....
[Nexus 6P General] Elingsley:
I got my Nexus through Telus and I have zero defects. After reading the reviews here I checked it over carefully before leaving the store.
[Nexus 6P General] hosho:
does your notification led change color when battery full charged?
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
The screen is like that, and it is sealed absurdly fine you will not have any issues. If you are that worried then buy a good TPU case and tempered glass screen protector and your phone will have no problems. I have done that with mine since day 1 and it's still pristine after a few months now. I have gotten my Nexus 6P 32gb through Rogers for $199 when they launched it here, what a steal. :D
[Nexus 6P General] Soulfly3:
Nah, the $0 I paid was a steal :)

Rogers offering to not raise my bill a single penny from my no-contract play store Nexus 5 plan for a year was a steal.

Raising it only 10$ in the 2nd year, still a massive steal

:good::good::highfive::highfive:
[Nexus 6P General] oxxshadow:
199 on a contract right?

So I guess your 6P's screen is similar to mine too...
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Yeah I got it with a contract, they didn't raise my bill or anything either and it's only 2 years. Yes they are all like that, it is the way the phone was designed, I wouldn't worry about it to much.
[Nexus 6P General] ptesmoke:
Got mine black Friday for $0 with rogers and waved my $200 early upgrade fee.
[Nexus 6P General] kjb86:
Got mine on Rogers for $0 as well
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Online or in store? I suppose it would be a good time for phones but so crazy lol!
[Nexus 6P General] ptesmoke:
It was over the phone since I live 350+kms away from the nearest rogers. I'm also been on a loyalty plan for like 6 years so when I do call, they usually hook me up huge. Half the reason I'm still with them. And someone English answers the phone
[Nexus 6P General] SomeGuy4:
How'd you get a loyalty plan?
[Nexus 6P General] ptesmoke:
Basically call and use the prompts for service cancellation, it will put you through to the loyalty/retention people. They have a lot more authority to dish out credits/plan discounts.

Right now I have a family share plan with 2 lines 12gb data, unlimited everything else(nationwide calling/text yadda yadda) for $150 tax in. Its the data that makes it worth it for me as we consume a lot of google play content.

Also, I don't know for sure but they may take your time with them into account, I have been with rogers since 2003 so have quite a long history that likely helps me with the deals.

Lastly, don't be rude with them, just tell them what you want and you'll likely get exactly what you asked or damn close to it. Remember they're people just like me and you just trying to do their job.
[Nexus 6P General] oxxshadow:
so your 6P screen doesn't appear flush as well? If that is how most units are, its fine. I thought mine was defective
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Correct (: all should be well but if you have any issues you should RMA.
[Nexus 6P General] mistamikel:
Just got my 6p last night. Picked it up beaned new and sealed for a crazy good price. Using it with Wind mobile.

Sold my G4 and couldn't be happier with the switch.

Still plan on picking up this too :) (cheap plug time, check out my channel and if you like it please subscribe) http://youtu.be/Gt5_tTgijV0
[Nexus 6P General] oxxshadow:
Today was a sad day.... so my 6P bent today near the volume rockers. I noticed after taking off my Spigen Rugged Armor Case. I always took great care of the phone, never put in back pockets, tempered glass screen protector, you name it. I thought the bending was ridiculous at first, but I can surely say now that Huawei did not plan out the internal structure of the device too well. Luckily, I am still in the January 22nd return window. Really not sure whether I want to give the phone a second chance as it seems like it will happen again. For those who still have a good 6P, enjoy it. But the bending is a real issue indeed. Just my two cents. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] rbigras:
What is the model# for the Canadian Nexus 6P? I am thinking of trading in the LG G4 I got yesterday for this one (videotron) since the Canadian LG G4 (h812) has no bootloader axs and cannot root without loosing software updates. Hate to deal with all those crap apps that come with the phone they are so invasive. Anyone installed custom recovery on their 6P? How is the support for the canadian version (if any different that the us counterpart)?
[Nexus 6P General] htc fan89:
I went with the carbon nexus case from Google..

Edit: its weird my case is already pending but my 6p is still stuck at preorder. Guess they got a lot of cases laying around lol

Well that makes no difference to people like me with estimate date of Nov 4-11...but people with Oct 28 should be good...
[Nexus 6P General] Matrix_19:
me too 4-11

hopefully this estimate is not delayed
[Nexus 6P General] warplane95:
look like it will only affect the carrier and not the pre-order
[Nexus 6P General] blassster:
Since I'm scratching the walls waiting for it to be sent out, probably like everyone else, I got Google to call me. The representative said as far as they know the Google Store pre-orders aren't affected by the same thing as the carriers. Makes sense though.
[Nexus 6P General] adsam3927:

Because its a nexus they are all the international version so you just open up a fastboot window and you're unlocked. I've been rooted since day 1
[Nexus 6P General] Max2thecore:
Well i have a fully rooted 6p MDB08.. Rooted via sdk, running stock kernel and stock rom atm, installed twrp supersu and xposed in less than 10 mins including rooting.
[Nexus 6P General] crashcat007:
I got a Nexus 6P from Rogers last year, it was working all well. But later I had issue with reception so I sent to Manufacturer and they fixed it. however when I insert my new WIND sim,it does not get registered. It shows "NO service". I don't know what they might have done to it. I now moved to Wind carrier.

However, I tried Rogers, and Telus sim it works fine. Tried a different Wind sim and still same issue persist.

My wind sim works fine in my other phones,

My brother has a Nexus 6p too, and my Wind sim works fine in his 6P (which was ordered from Rogers as well).

I unlocked the bootloader,rooted the phone, flashed 4-5 different radio baseband,firmware,and vendor files released by Google till date, still issue is not resolved.

However when I manually try to search network, it shows me

"WIND AWAY"

in it, but never Wind home, even when I am in a Wind home zone.

I also tried to play with network settings under *#*#4636#*#*

Still doesn't make a difference.

Can anyone help me with this ?
[Nexus 6P General] Soulfly3:
^^^ did you try 3G only?

wind doesnt have LTE
[Nexus 6P General] crashcat007:
Yes I tried 3G, and 2G,,nothing works.

But the strange this is,as soon as I reboot my phone,I get a notification saying I have 1 voicemail. but I cannot get it registered on network to check the voicemail
[Nexus 6P General] Soulfly3:
mayeb your SIM is damaged? try a new one, and call wind to register it
[Nexus 6P General] crashcat007:
As I mentioned earlier, the same SIM works fine in Samsung Galaxy S6, Nexus 5 etc as I have tested it. It is not a SIM issue.

It looks like the band is stuck with frequencies supported by Rogers and is unable to move to AWS.
[Nexus 6P General] Soulfly3:
try flashing an earlier radio... like the 2.15 or whatever it is
[Nexus 6P General] crashcat007:
I flashed the following radios, however issue still persist,

radio-angler-angler-01.29.img (MDA89D)

radio-angler-angler-02.15.img (MDB08K/MDB08L/MDB08M)

radio-angler-angler-02.47.img (MMB29N)

radio-angler-angler-02.50.img (MMB29M/MMB29P/MMB29Q)

Right now I have downgraded to 1.29
[Nexus 6P General] aalupatti:
May be send it back to manufacturer again... Could be a hardware issue..

Also I would still get a new Sim card and see if that would help or get Sim from another wind user

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Sounds like maybe the phone is Sim locked? if not it definitely sounds like another hardware issue unfortunately .

Updates

Hey folks,

I currently own a Galaxy S6 but we still haven't received Marshmallow. So I am thinking of switching to a Nexus phone. But I wanted to make sure I have a few things right first.

I know the Nexus 6P comes with MM, but what about subsequent updates? Do you guys receive them right away or do you have to wait months after Google releases an update when you have a carrier locked device?

Also, if your Nexus is carrier locked, can you still enroll in the Android Beta Program to test Android N, or is that locked down by the carrier?

Thanks folks
[Nexus 6P General] mattkroeder:
With Nexus devices, updates are typically right away. Once the updates are out, you can wait for the OTA to hit your phone but sometimes this might take a week or two. But if you don't want to wait, you can either flash the factory images located here or flash OTA zip files. So, there are options. But Nexus devices get the major updates first. It's not like having a Samsung and waiting months for updates.

Nexus phones do not come carrier locked.
[Nexus 6P General] Ad.Shk2:
I ditched my s6 for the N6P this month. But I've been a Nexus user since the Nexus S and can't live without the latest Nexus. But some people may not like the bare bones stock Android.
[Nexus 6P General] gd6noob:
Anyone in the Vancouver, BC area want to trade 128gb gold for my 128gb frost white?
[Nexus 6P General] daubh:
I have tried several slimmed down ROMs here, and I actually like stock Android. Fast, frequent updates, and developer previews are enticing.
[Nexus 6P General] yeroc1982:
Got mine few weeks ago and love it. Came from a Note 4. First thing i noticed the 6p has much better reception.
[Nexus 6P General] NienorGT:
I'm about to do the same here. I have bad reception with my Note 4, hitting quite often 3G and rarely getting over 30MB/s but when I went in store to complain, the phone hit over 75MB/s -_-

I'm happy to see that this will at least be fixed.
[Nexus 6P General] BlackRabbits:
I've been searching for confirmation without luck so far...there's really just one variant of the 6P in Canada? As in, a Canadian 6P will work with Rogers / Wind / etc. across the board?
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
If you order from google yes it will work on all providers..no point buying from any of the CAN carriers as they only offer the 32gb model which is a joke.

sent from my Nexus 6P, Note 5, Nexus 6 or Note 4
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
not really a joke, I'm using the 32gb model without issues and currently have 10gb free. I have just transitioned everything i can to cloud storage and only keep what I NEED on my device, no problems so far. The amount of storage space is very subjective and personal preference, but a 32gb is fine for most people.
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
If you say so man, but no one I know could make use of 32gb, but your right it is quite subjective.

So that said to me 32gb is still a joke.

128gb for me, if its available why not lol?

sent from my Nexus 6P, Note 5, Nexus 6 or Note 4

I don't know how you guys manage that lol.

sent from my Nexus 6P, Note 5, Nexus 6 or Note 4
[Nexus 6P General] ultyrunner:
Because their uses are different than yours, that's how. Why call it a 'joke' though? It's exactly the same phone with less storage. I have the 64gb and haven't needed even that much storage yet.
[Nexus 6P General] Mad Medik:
I purchased my so called "gold edition" which has 64 GB at a Wind store during a promo. I can't speak for other network stores though.
[Nexus 6P General] nicholaschum:
Got this promotion too, $200 dollars off on a new contract. Was worth it!

Offtopic: However, WIND is sooOoOooOoooooo bad....I switched from Rogers and I immediately noticed how much less data I'm actually able to use because of constant 3G standby mode (WCDMA only already set). It is almost practically impossible to use any data during a commute ride from where I live, every morning.
[Nexus 6P General] Mad Medik:
Fortunately for me, I'm using the phone on Bell... I have a great plan with Bell which they won't renew. So when I want a new phone, I have to buy it outright, elsewhere. Short version, a friend has a Wind account but brings an iPhone, so I used the opportunity to buy the Nexus. ☺️
[Nexus 6P General] aalupatti:
i wanted to move to wind so badly since they have such a great offer few months ago.. Probably around 40% less than what I pay now on a very good discounted rogers plan. But did not since I noticed that wind coverage is so bad.. Wish they improved coverage..
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
They dont even have LTE yet do they? I would never use a carrier that doesnt,Id miss my 100+ mbps download speeds

Everyone i know who had switched to wind went right back to who they were with before, I always figured based on that they must really suck lol

Sent from my Note 5 or Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] MaxNXS:
I just switched to Wind as well and I have no issues at all.
[Nexus 6P General] nicholaschum:
Their coverage is garbage when I commute from downtown Toronto to uptown Markham.

Nope. They said they're in the works but that's how they try to get you LOL

Lucky you. My HSPA+ hangs on 3G so much I can barely use my 11gb.
[Nexus 6P General] Chief_runningwater:
Anyone else noticing the usb-c charging cable is fairly flaky when connecting it to the bottom of the phone I tried cleaning the connections but it still doesn't seem to help I have to jiggle the connection till it starts charging the phone

Mine is rock solid, if yours is that loose you may have a hardware problem

Sent from my Note 5 or Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] OptimusOBrien:
Went back to Wind since I got tired of paying the insane bill I was paying before hand. Since I rarely use data its not a bad deal for me. I do miss my LTE occasionally but the money just wasn't there at the moment.
[Nexus 6P General] MaxNXS:
I'm in Ottawa and the coverage here is pretty decent for my needs. LTE would be nice (I was told it's coming this August) but for my Twitter, G+ and browsing during the commute 3G works just fine for me.
[Nexus 6P General] Jchef:
Wish we had it in Nova Scotia...
[Nexus 6P General] neo905:
I cracked the glass on my 6P screen yesterday. Anyone know a reliable place in the GTA that can replace it at a reasonable cost without messing something else up in the process or causing some damage during the repair?
[Nexus 6P General] pringled:
Wind doesn't have LTE?? I thought LTE or an LTE-equivalent/analogue was just a given regardless of carrier.

I live in Victoria, which doesn't fall into one of the Wind "full coverage" or whatever zones. This used to irk the hell out of me, but now that I'm aware of the lack of LTE I'm suddenly more than content paying a small fortune for 10gb of data a month on Telus lol
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
Nope not yet...pretty pitiful really.
[Nexus 6P General] pringled:
No kidding! What's the point of unlimited data if just downloading a new wallpaper is a multi-day process, amIright?

Kidding aside is Wind just lacking nationwide LTE, or is there just outright no LTE regardless of region? Sorry for getting so hung up on this, I'm just flabbergasted by the fact that I've heard their bottomless data plan offering referenced in a positive light so many times with no griping about it being archaic as f*ck haha.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
They have a roaming program where you can use other carrier LTE networks for a price, but im unsure if they have their own.
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
They dont have LTE in toronto.

I always laugh the way they advertise unlimited data....yeah unlimited and slow as hell lol.

If just use your phone for calls then maybe its the way to go but if thats true it kinda defeats the purpose of having a killer device like the 6P doesnt it?

Like you said...kinda hard to eat up data when it takes an hour to download a picture lol.

This is rogers and worth every penny, thats not even the highest ive seen on my devices
[Nexus 6P General] yeroc1982:
Anyone get 7.0 Nougat OTA yet?
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
I just flashed Digital Highs zip from the general section. The official system images are not even out for our device so I don't think they will have rolled out yet.
[Nexus 6P General] Sy1ar:
hey guys, Planning to get one from Bell, they have 32GB graphite in stock.

Just wanted to know is the phone unlocked? and can the bootloader be unlocked too?

spoke to someone on bell support chat yesterday, the agent was saying that the phone is carrier locked
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
The phone will be networked locked yes unless purchased from Google.

Bootloader unlock is no problem.

Sent from my SM-N930FD
[Nexus 6P General] Sy1ar:
can I get it unlocked from them because I don't see any website advertising Nexus 6P Unlock
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
There are lots.

Ebay

Craigslist

BH photo

New egg

Expansys

Google store

For example

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1218652-REG/huawei_51097233_google_nexus_6p_h1511.html

Im sure it can easily be unlocked and Id also reallly consider going at least 64gb...32 is kinda useless and will fill up fast

Sent from my SM-N930FD
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
you can unlock it yourself with an unlock code purchased from various places but you will need a carrier unlock code to do it. a step by step process is detailed here https://www.unlockallcellular.com/huawei-nexus-unlock-code-np-203086.html

also my 32gb is doing just fine, you just need to take advantage of the cloud. 64gb would be nice if you can afford it but its definitely not required.
[Nexus 6P General] matt1515:
Can confirm 100% that all Nexus phones are unlocked no matter what carrier you buy it from or if purchased from Google. Don't give your money away. I have bought numerous used Nexus phones here in Ontario never will a nexus be locked to a carrier. That is one of the reasons I've always loved these phones.

Question regarding radios.

7.1.1 (N4F26O, Feb 2017): radio-angler-angler-03.78.img

7.1.1 (NUF26K, Feb 2017, Verizon Only): radio-angler-angler-03.79.img

I'm on Rogers network using 3.79 modem which seems to be working fine though. Should I be on 3.78 since I'm not Verizon? I was always under the impression that the newest modem should be used for best efficiency. I could be wrong, please advise. Using latest PN (Feb 15) and NUF26K_vendor.img
[Nexus 6P General] therock3181:
I'm running 3.79 since January and I have no problem.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
3.79 gives me better signal than 3.78 on Rogers.
[Nexus 6P General] martinomac:
Cool! Strange thing is that while I was on stock, I took the 7.1 OTA update and it gave me 3.79 modem so I just assumed that should be used. Then I downloaded latest firmware from Google and it has 3.78 modem included.

I suppose if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Thanks for feedback on signal strength.
[Nexus 6P General] galakanokis:
Really? I will have to try that out. My reception on Roger's sucks compared to Telus. Just recently switched and Rogers sucks. Plus it constantly says I am roaming.

Off to find a flashable zip as I do not have a USB cable handy.
[Nexus 6P General] Techvir:
I see the same thing too..

With minor changes in radio, I do not believe that your situation would change. But worth giving it a shot.

It may be that Rogers signal in your area is less.

Try the tower location from here. https://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/cancellsites.html
[Nexus 6P General] galakanokis:
Thanks for that map, pretty interesting.

My wife had been on rogers for ever and has no issues. There is a Rogers tower right beside a Telus tower a stones throw from my house. I flashed the radio but totally forgot I have my sim in another phone. Will test it out when I'm not being so lazy.

you guys are nuts paying 800++$'s for this phone.. LOL.. and we are still not even sure if it will throttle or not. it was the phone i was waiting for until they announced the 810 processor. it's already almost a year old. i'm curious to know how it will perform.

And I wouldn't be worried about the 810 in terms of performance. If my LG G Flex 2 flies on the 810 with LG's UI, a Nexus device such as the 6p will never have performance problems running stock android. Battery life is another issue, but we'll cross that bridge when that bridge ships to my house. :good:
