Are returns free to Google?

---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

64gb Frost ordered. Alu is going back, after spending a few hours with it I noticed some imperfections down the left hand side, a chip etc. As others have reported, different tint across top half of screen on lower brightness. The top speaker being more powerful than the lower. Hopefully the new Frost I receive won't have these issues, or it could have more...
[Nexus 6P General] AvRS:
Yeah returns are free you just need to contact them for an RMA and they'll send you a form.
[Nexus 6P General] Matchstick:
Go my delay email this morning as well - so they expect to send phones out sometime between today and next Friday, doesn't really help much in trying to decide whether to cancel and reorder a 128Gb Aluminium which is expected to be despatched in 1-2 days.
[Nexus 6P General] sdunne:
They're bloody quick processing them too.

I RMAed my 32Gb 6P and it hit the returns warehouse in Germany yesterday based on the UPS tracking info, they fully credited me back to my UK bank account the same day !!

Can't fault that :good:
[Nexus 6P General] eefo:
Ammm, how to check if your screen is not faulty as many others have reported here ?

Is it that faulty ones are really really pink or blueish or just a bit?
[Nexus 6P General] ljcj1292:
Good to hear! Why did you send yours back?
[Nexus 6P General] sdunne:
Shipped it Tuesday. Google use UPS standard so 2 days in total

Oh why ?

Because I wanted the 64Gb but was on an 18-20 Nov delivery slot, so I took a 32Gb so I could check out the phone in the meantime

My 64Gb arrived yesterday and it's perfect!
[Nexus 6P General] copong:
Alu 64GB arrived yesterday from google, no defects that I can see, phone is proper lovely.
[Nexus 6P General] ljcj1292:
Have you tried doing a stereo test to hear volume differences between speakers?
[Nexus 6P General] hussan882:
Mine arrived yesterday :)

64GB Alu - its fine, though it did have some adhesive residue in a few places, around the edges mainly.

No marks or scratches, screen looks amazing though I need to test it out properly.

Its an amazing phone, so quick, smooth, responsive , no slowdown or lag. The one thing I was unsure about was the size, its obviously a big phone but is easier to handle than I thought it would be. If I can adjust I can see myself keeping it for an age!
[Nexus 6P General] stuart0001:
1-2 business days for 64gb frost. Ordered.
[Nexus 6P General] sidhaarthm:
The RMA Order went into Processing last night. Still no despatch email. Hoping for some good news early next week..
[Nexus 6P General] sidhaarthm:
Woah - just got a Shipped notification! That was bledy quick! Only trouble is, no one is going to be at work tomorrow..so I'll have to reschedule for Monday. Tracking is not Live yet.
[Nexus 6P General] thetonyclifton:
Mine was posted in London after 4pm, travelled through Coventry to Belfast, to the van and to me by lunchtime the next day.
[Nexus 6P General] jimbobbeers:
Dunno if I'm less picky than others or not but after setting my 6P up last night and having a play around, I cannot fault it. Screen is flawless to me and there are no noticeable defects. I've seen people complaining about the speaker, I can tell a slight difference, top seems more bassy, but it's only noticeable by putting my ear to it. Not a problem for me at all, spot on and I absolutely love it!
[Nexus 6P General] rryles:
Mine is the same. The only possible defect I could find was a difference in speaker volume. However that was playing a test video that used quite a low pitched pure tone. Another test that used a higher pitched guitar strum sounded much more even.

The phone is gorgeous and fast. I've been using an app called myfitnesspal which has a bar code scanner built in. It is so much quicker than on my Nexus 5. If you've got the bar code in the right place, it scans it freakishly quickly.
[Nexus 6P General] Confused_Cheese:
Well, replacement ordered... Will see how long it takes for it to get here. Thoroughly disappointed... Really hoping they don't try and blame me for the scratches. It had only been out the box an hour and had been sitting on my sofa since then or in my hands :(
[Nexus 6P General] @home:
Is anyone else notice that the ear piece top speaker is really really loud during a phone call. I turned mine down to minimum volume & it was still so loud I have to hold the phone away from ear.
[Nexus 6P General] Matchstick:
Anyone with a 128Gb Graphite on order seen any kind of movement ?

Hitting the start of the delivery window they gave in the overnight email would require orders going out today but frankly I can't help wondering if just cancelling the Graphite order and ordering an Aluminium 128Gb (which appear to be listed as in stock on GPS) wouldn't be a better idea.
[Nexus 6P General] ljcj1292:
64gb Frost ordered this morning has been despatched. Gotta sort out returning the other one now.
[Nexus 6P General] pemz82:
Same for me, ordered this morning (64gb frost) and already dispatched and with parcelforce.
[Nexus 6P General] ljcj1292:
Do Parcelforce deliver on saturday? I dont think they do for normal Express 24...
[Nexus 6P General] ant78:
I have had parcel force deliver to me on Saturdays, mine was a screwfix order
[Nexus 6P General] DanielF50:
I wondered if you had realised they were in yet. I just ordered my Frost 64gb to be delivered at work, cant wait! [emoji1]
[Nexus 6P General] rryles:
They sender has to pay extra for Saturday delivery, which I doubt Google will. However, you never know. Parcel Force might send it out anyway.
[Nexus 6P General] ljcj1292:
Yeah been reading their Sat charge on the website. Oh well Monday aint that bad, my case won't be here until next week anyway so not like I'd be able to leave the house with it. I just hope the new one I receive is perfect, not sure what I'd do else, probably wait for another new phone.
[Nexus 6P General] Roberto63:
Hmm, yes my top speaker sounds louder! I'm hoping it's a software issue and not a duff bottom speaker.
[Nexus 6P General] sidhaarthm:
Were you on loudspeaker by any chance? ;)
[Nexus 6P General] @home:
No
[Nexus 6P General] Zalbuckus:
The SIM free handsets that Carphone Warehouse sell are only compatible with UK registered SIM cards.

Does it means that i won't be able to use it in Lithuania or what??
[Nexus 6P General] wazka2:
It should work without issues.
[Nexus 6P General] kboya:
Got mine today (64gb graph, N case & new CC) after collecting from the Post Office. Well done to Parcelforce for saying two completely different POs (card said nearest, tracking said 2 miles away) and then leaving it at the one that is not at the very end of my street! You think Royal Mail know where it's own POs are? Think again!

All looks lovely, no issues of build quality (barcode says manufactured 17/10). Screen great, although I can see a very slight difference in hue between top and bottom, which I'll keep an eye on over the next few days. Similarly, the bottom speaker seems ever so slightly quieter than top, and I'll keep an ear on this as I test it thoroughly over the weekend. Otherwise, I am extremely happy. Now just need to decide between the Quartz Nexus case and the black Adopted case... the former looks much better than anticipated, but also a little flashy for my taste.

Good luck to those still waiting and to those forced to RMA (it happens, that's all, the world ain't a perfect place). See you in the other forums soon!
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Got my 64gb in today. Really nice, can't see any defects apart from a very, very slight pink tinge on the left of the screen and the usual speaker imbalance, apart from that it's perfect. I'm scared to actually use it and take it out in my pocket after all the bending scare stories!
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
Finally got my phone today after the incorrect information I was given on weds. They've had stock of 128gb aluminium since Monday but there was a problem with allocation despite me being within the first to order on launch day. I was told that this model was out of stock when I contacted Google chat on weds.

No defects on the phone at all and screen and speakers look/sound great.

Got £20 compensation though which goes some way to reconcile the incorrect information and incorrect stock allocation.

I've just ordered an aluminium 128gb to replace my 32gb graphite. Keeps going out of stock to in stock though so I don't actually know if they have any or not!
[Nexus 6P General] eefo:
Guys i am not sure if this is the right place to post it.. But wanted to know whats your phones are like.

My orange and yellow colors are too dark..

Or is it just me, who is coming from nexus 5 which is why i am seeing them darkish?
[Nexus 6P General] Roberto63:
Excellent news! [emoji1]
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
Thanks man! Glad I finally got it. Just hope I don't have any problems. Seems great though. Just waiting for sim to come in post. I don't have an o2 shop nearby unless I go into Leeds city.

Has anyone had the latest build update? MDB08M? I'm going to flash mine as it hasn't turned up yet in updates.

[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
Probably because of the AMOLED screen. You'll definitely see the difference on an AMOLED - the colours are better with great saturation but you can cool the colour contrast down if you want.

If you activate developer mode by going into settings->about phone->tap on build until it says you're in developer mode, then back out and you should see the option above about phone. In developer mode there's and option for "picture colour mode" to turn on sRGB.

Not sure how much that will affect the colour on the screen but that's the only option I have found when reading up on options in Marshmallow whilst I was waiting for my 6P.

Gimme a moment. Let me try.

And post a screenshot.

And bloody hell, cant type on nexus 5 after typing so smoothly on 6p ??
[Nexus 6P General] eefo:
Well i can feel the difference..

Not sure if you can, coz we all have different screens :/

Plus indoors and in dark so auto brightness wouldn't let me feel proper difference will give it a go in day light in the morning.

But yeah thanks a lot for the tip mate [MENTION=6119798]uktechguru[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
If you want to customise the top notification bar you can remove any of the symbols that you don't want. Just pull down the notification window then on the settings cog just long press and it'll add the system ui option in settings and show a wrench next to the cog.

[Nexus 6P General] eefo:
Yup know that already :)

Thanks a lot for your replies.

If there will be anything else i will for sure ask you ?
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
You're welcome, just have to get used to AMOLED I think but that setting should turn the saturation down a little.

Sent with my Surface Pro 3 using Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] eefo:
Yeah i know..

Need to get used to it.

Probably will turn it off tomorrow morning as i can feel saturation gone down already ?
[Nexus 6P General] mo123456789:
My replacement device is sitting with parcel force. Do Google deliver on Saturdays? Anyone in UK received their phone today ?
[Nexus 6P General] pemz82:
I think Saturday delivery is an added extra on the parcelforce 24 hour service. Doubt Google paid the extra but you never know, could get lucky and it get sent out for delivery anyway
[Nexus 6P General] sidhaarthm:
My replacement is out for Delivery mate, Central London. And I'm at home! :crying::( I'll have to get it redelivered on Monday. So yes, they do Deliver on Saturdays.
[Nexus 6P General] Jygar:
They give everyone a different answer, I'd bet it won't be despatched today.

I had to speak to them 3 times before they said I'll get an email about the £20 refund.
[Nexus 6P General] Zalbuckus:
Ok, i need your help guys, as cpw can't get the authentication of both my bank cards. I'm checking in London nov11 and i need a distributor that could deliver the phone for this date. Google store won't work for me, because I'm in Portugal right now. Is there an alternative for cpw?
[Nexus 6P General] pifsworld:
What's been the problem with the speakers on the 6p I've got a 6p and wanted to know if there's a test or a way to tell if the speakers are defective.??
[Nexus 6P General] pifsworld:
That's difficult to tell without being able to select one speaker at a time.. Some YouTube videos sound great others don't same with downloaded music..
[Nexus 6P General] pifsworld:
I didn't think I had but I've read some have had better earpiece speaker levels than they have on the mouthpiece speaker,
[Nexus 6P General] AvRS:
Best thing I've ever done with phones or any technology is judge for myself and not by what I read on a forum. There's always more people ready to complain then there are to praise it's natural so rather than go looking for every fault, enjoy your phone unless you find something that's not right for you. It's crazy the amount of people ready to cancel orders or return phones in case something happens like what they've read despite some of them having a good phone in their hands or not knowing what they'll receive. (Un)fortunately not every device comes off the production line the same just like with every piece of technology that exists. Just my 2p.
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
Has anyone had the recent update? Build MDB08M?
[Nexus 6P General] @home:
Yeah, installed manually
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
Ah OK, I forgot to unlock the bootloader before I started using my phone. Will have to do it. Am I right in thinking that unlocking bootloader factory resets three phone?
[Nexus 6P General] lawtq:
Correct
[Nexus 6P General] Kickasskev:
Noob question but are these actually out in the UK yet? I have to go back to CPW on Tuesday to pick mine up and the only one they had to offer was the silver 32gb no others available, or are these just hard to get your hands on?
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
32gb graphite in stock at giffgaff
[Nexus 6P General] Kickasskev:
Already paid etc thanks anyway
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
No worries mate
[Nexus 6P General] moe2046:
What's the volume like on the speakers? On mine if you knock the volume down to half it is barley audible, and there seems to be a huge jump in loudness from almost all the way up and max volume. Anyone else's like this?
[Nexus 6P General] stuart0001:
Only graphite & aluminium 32gb are available outside Google.
[Nexus 6P General] siniux:
Have you tried with MBNet? (Fellow Portuguese here)

As far as I'm aware, CPW is the only place selling the phone "in store".
[Nexus 6P General] Zalbuckus:
Well, Carphone Warehouse can only accept debit and credit cards registered in UK. **** why it is so hard to give my money away
[Nexus 6P General] summer_love:
Use cash?
[Nexus 6P General] Zalbuckus:
[MENTION=2655267]summer_love[/MENTION] that would be great. The phone is still in pre-order, so 'reserve and collect' option unavailable for no. The thing is that I'll be in London only for 11th Nov and I'll be leaving the day after. I tried to order it to my hotel,because it's the cheapest and most convenient option i can get. Now I'll have to go to the store, order the phone and wait till the third party company ships it to Lithuania.
[Nexus 6P General] Guitarfreak26:
My 128gb silver shipped today, guess that means I'll have it Tuesday :)
[Nexus 6P General] chistery:
Just rebooted and now it's stuck booting, just displaying the circles spinning round. Guess I'll try a factory reset and maybe a call to Google tomorrow. :crying:
[Nexus 6P General] pmathis:
Just a heads up...called CPW yesterday about my order (32gb Graphite). Ordered 23rd October, expected fulfilment date on their system is 30th November. Don't believe the expected dates on the website.
[Nexus 6P General] DanielF50:
Cancel your order and order it from GPS? They're shipping stock out next day with 24hr delivery currently (and they have both 32gb models in stock).
[Nexus 6P General] sidhaarthm:
So it turns out that even though my replacement was loaded for delivery on Saturday, they didn't try to deliver it. It just turned up now! :D

Now I just need to find some time at work to open it up and just hope like hell that its' defect free :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Yea mine is like that too, its super loud at 80%+ but 40-50% its pretty low
[Nexus 6P General] sidhaarthm:
Happy to report that the replacement is in top order. Tested the display, camera and checked out the device for any scratches. Yes, there might be a slight speaker imbalance but not a big deal and still plenty loud. Not going to RMA again for this (even though it'll mess with my OCD) for the risk of receiving a device with the screen hue issue or back panel lift. Very happy for now. Time for root once I get home :o
[Nexus 6P General] solidturk:
Has anyone's status changed from pending for a 128 graphite ordered from gps? FYI day 1 order before link was LIVE
[Nexus 6P General] Rossuk:
Yeah I have that, though I'd say my jumps in volume level after 70 percent from quiet to loud. Odd.

Has anyone ordered from CPW in the recent days, as i order my Nexus 6P in Silver 32GB yesterday....
[Nexus 6P General] pmathis:
ARGHH!!!! Just got a dispatch email! So excited!
[Nexus 6P General] Confused_Cheese:
Well, my replacement has arrived today. No scratches, no raised section at all.. speakers seem fine etc. Only problem is, the screen is clearly yellow on the left side and blotchy in the middle. Looks a mess compared to the other 6p I have :( Might just get a refund and go back to the moto x style :(
[Nexus 6P General] pemz82:
Received my 64gb frost today, all appears good so far ?
[Nexus 6P General] droid_does:
the phone that I sent back to GPS (32GB since I ordered a 64) just got refunded by google. Smashingly impressive since i only sent it off last friday.

Loving my 64 but can't wait for my TGSP to arrive. Screen seems ok so far but the visor at the back has a small micro scratch already if I angle it at the right angle I can see it.

No reports of any bugs/other defects/spontaneous cracking of my visor.
[Nexus 6P General] DanielF50:
Received my Frost 64gb today - I haven't experienced any of the problems other people are having, though it does have a deep 1mm scratch on the back (see photo), which isn't great, so I've talked to someone on via support and they've requested a replacement for me. I suppose it's not all bad as my RuggedArmour won't be in stock until the 13th! :(
[Nexus 6P General] JB22:
When did you order your phone?
[Nexus 6P General] geovass:
Has anyone got the OTA - MDA89D to MDB08K in the UK?
[Nexus 6P General] skibadee:
MDB08L here
[Nexus 6P General] TheLoverMan:
Best price you guys are getting in the uk for simfree best i can find is £439.99
[Nexus 6P General] Stretlow:
Same
[Nexus 6P General] shadwell_lad:
Also got MDB08L last night in the UK.
[Nexus 6P General] geovass:
Hm... i am still with MDA89D; UK Model...
[Nexus 6P General] manook:
Manually updated to mdb08m when I got the phone. No issues with doing it manually....
[Nexus 6P General] sdunne:
Given the crapshoot that is the quality of 6Ps I'd have been tempted to suck it up TBH, especially if it was 100% bar that scratch and given that you intend using a case
[Nexus 6P General] sidhaarthm:
I had reached MDB08L via OTA but then while rooting and setting up, I manually flashed MDB08M. All good and works like a treat. Loving this phone in every way!
[Nexus 6P General] DanielF50:
Yeah, I'm going to wait until my new one gets here (tomorrow) to send the other one back, if the new one has any of the problems, I'll see if Google will let me keep the old one :)
[Nexus 6P General] kboya:
yep, that's the best price for 32gb.
[Nexus 6P General] TheLoverMan:
cheers fella :)
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
My screen colour seems to be getting worse although I'm not sure. Out of the box there was a very slight pink hue on the left hand side of the screen, it was virtually unnoticeable so I kept the phone. Over the past few days it seems to be getting worse with quite a noticeable difference between the right and left hand side of the screen. Very, very annoying. Anyone else seeing this?
[Nexus 6P General] MattSkeet:
do i have to order a replacement before i even get my initial unit?

FML, i had every single nexus out there replaced at least 3 times due to some kind of issues, doesnt look like this one will be at least acceptable :/
[Nexus 6P General] contractor:
Still no movement (pending) on my 128 graphite. I ordered 20 mins after launch with an original date if 3-5/11. I got the email saying 7-14 but this is really starting to annoy me now.
[Nexus 6P General] MrKaon:
My 64GB Aluminium should be arrived today, supper excited.

What did you guys buy for Type A to Type C cable?

I ordered this one:
[Nexus 6P General] sidhaarthm:
I know it's frustrating mate. I had a few replacements on my Galaxy Nexus, one on the Nexus 4, none on the Nexus 5 and one already on my 6P. You'll get there eventually. My replacement is perfect and I'm very happy with the device. I literally had to kill the battery last night by doing stupid things so I can perform it's first proper charge cycle. Disconnected from the night before and was at 98% the following morning, all sync was on. Then got back from work (after day's normal usage) and was still at 72%! Getting 5hrs of SOT on average - which is brilliant for the performance it offers and that massive gorgeous display.

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

I'm just using an Orzly one at work (which I am looking to change due to the speculation on web that Orzly cables don't conform to proper Type C standards). At home, I use the OEM Google one. I also bought an Anker Type C to Type C which I use with my RavPower Bank which actually has a 5V 3A Type C output (same as Google OEM Charger).
[Nexus 6P General] Slymenstra:
I'm in the same boat :(
[Nexus 6P General] solidturk:
I haven't even had a delayed email - status is still pending November 2 - 4. I've escalated it on multiple occasions and GCS haven't got a Scooby Doo as to what's happening and the so called product specialists never get back to me. Looks like 128gb graphite shipment to the UK was somehow forgotten [emoji17]
[Nexus 6P General] irononreverse:
Ordered my 64gb frost white on Tuesday morning, received it today. Everything looks good on it. No defects.
[Nexus 6P General] AvRS:
Finally bit the bullet and ordered the 64GB frost. I wanted the aluminium 32GB but was out of stock so decided I'll just record every video in 4k and waste space haha plus like my white N5 so will stick with the colour scheme. Now to wait for that shipping email hopefully the next few days :)
[Nexus 6P General] pmathis:
23rd October...It's now here and looks b-e-a-utiful!:D
[Nexus 6P General] ilikegoogles:
And me. I am in exactly the same circumstances as you. Also ordered my graphite about 20 mins in and received the delay email.

I phoned today and had a script read to me telling me to wait until the 14th, if not, they will look into it.

I don't want that! I want information on whether it is likely it will be shipped or not.

I told him that I am beginning to get really annoyed. He advised that they know nothing.

So frustrating!
[Nexus 6P General] ZippCen:
They don't seem to understand that waiting until the last moment to notify you of a delay is not good...

I ordered a Universal 15W USB Type-C Charger, 6 days ago, it's in stock & it's still at processing stage, wtf.
