[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joetang97:
You'd never know if they do fix the problems or not. Since this isn't Huawei's own flagship phone, it's not on their priority list to fix.

But then again, there's no way that Googwei haven't heard about the bending and other problems. Google has enough clout to force Huawei to strengthen the body and Huawei also have a lot to gain with this phone being a worldwide release, so fixing the problems would be in their best interest.

It could very well be the initial batches that have these problems. Nearly all initial releases has some kind of problems that were fixed in the latter batches. We just got to keep ours fingers crossed and hope for the best.

I initially had my eyes set on the HTC M9 as a replacement. When it was publicly shown, and then reviewed, I know it wasn't the phone for me. The same thing happened with the HTC A9 and I was getting desperate for a new phone. My HTC M7 requires 2 top up charges each day just to get me through. The 5X looked very interesting but there seemed to be something lacking that I passed on it as well.

So in the end it seems like the 6P will be my next phone. I want to get it right now, but experience has taught me that Day 1 purchases are a hit and miss, and for the 6P, it seems like it's 50/50 whether you get a good one or not.

For me, waiting another few months will tell me if this phone is for me, once the initial furore has died down.

That, or wait till April for the '16 flagships to start appearing. Arrrrghhhhh! :eek::eek:

I wasn't aware there was a power button problem with the Nexus 5. I bought my missus one directly from Google near the end of Nov 13 and there's been no problems with it at all. I guess it's just a matter of luck
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STHD:
yes there was... it was the power and speaker hole problem and google did fixed it...guess i was wrong :p

(i donno if we are allow to link site here.. but google "Nexus 5 gets a hardware revision" and u can read about it...)

i got my n5 on dec 13 so i didn't have those problem

hemm...now to wait or not to wait (will they fix or not) :confused:

You can wait for the next batch of flagships in 2016 but the 2017 models are better. Take the plunge and get the 6P as the phone is quite a gem for a Nexus. :D

Post picture to make us feel jealous!!

Also have you thoroughly checked for defects? Screen tint, loose 3.5cm jack, wobble if placed screen face down, speaker sound at max volume, rattling.

Which software version did you get?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
Thanks, but I didn't want to wait for delivery, that's why I didn't order from taobao.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgrind:
Haha,

Screen does look alright, acceptable to me. Didn't check the jack but checked most of the more important areas (telephony, touchscreen, camera, buttons, mics, speakers and cosmetics) didn't check the wobble as well.

Regardless, the phone worked just fine.

Also they also give the Huawei case and earphones so if you are not particular, the case works just fine.

Yes, I got a glass screen protector and case to hold me over till more cases and glass screen protectors are available in HK. I got the GSP at King Wah on the 3/F. The shop on the 2/F didn't do a good job as there was a few dust particles near the edge which resulted in air bubble. I went back yesterday to get it replaced at no cost and they blamed the screen was not flat....good one. I then went to 3/F and got it done with the same brand and it turned out great.

The brand is OTAO. A/T has it out already but most shops don't have stock yet. The proximity sensor cutout is not there so when in call the screen doesn't come on or turn off if moving phone to or away from face. I had to get something to protect it for now. I'll wait one month as more brands will arrive in the shops.

The case was a super cheaper thin and soft 90's style case that fits snug for awhile. Just to keep it protected from scratches will the Spigen etc. arrive in store.

I don't have pics yet but will post them soon.

Sin Dat and King Wah both are highly limited in GSP and cases. In December is where most of the shops will receive inventory of 6P case and SP as told by most shop owners. If the Huawei case is half decent then I might go for it but it can't be purchased at Wilson if I am not mistaken.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Is the case hard plastic or soft TPU?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:

The glass protector I got is a HK brand Imak and it has cutout for the sensor.

And it is not expensive either.

Also if anyone is considering selling their original huawei case please send me a PM! Thanks
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
Does it have a cutout for the front camera?

I prefer ones without.

Just got a cheap glass screen protector as a temporary protection. The brand is cornerstone, has sensor and camera cutout but the cutouts are big and not very accurate. No or crap oleophobic coating as well. Would not recommend.

PLease, is anyone using this in Mainland China? Is it problematic to use. I'm experienced in running vpn's to access my GAPPS and so forth, but I have never used a NExus device in China. Will it be bothered or affect the experience. Please help. I would love to own this phone, but will wait until I see Xiomi and Huwaie development this and next week. Really would like to hear form anyone who lives in mainland china and uses this as a daily driver?

Thanks in advance.

I travel to China on daily basis and as long you are using VPN, any phone will use just fine.

Been using my N5 for 2 years during my travel between HK and China with no issues, especially with VPN

Will share with you my experience on N6p when I travel to China tomorrow

makes the phone bulky tho
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s327374:
I would love to hear more about your findings. It sucks so badly not having google in China. I can work around with VPN's and so forth, but I feel it may just compromise battery and fluency. It's a lot to pay for a premium device that may only work at 3/4 or less steam, if you know what I mean.

Not really true, I ran a VPN server on my router in HK and able to access the VPN while in China.

They blocked many VPN services, but there are still providers (paid like Astrill and NinjaVPN) circumvent the blockage within days, even hours before the service recovered. I know cos I used them before.

Just don't use OpenVPN protocol.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mousefai0922:
seem u are more a pro on vpn.

I am just a user who knows download vpn apps in play store and use it Doesnt have much skills about it

So for those able to outwit the blockage... do i have to pay them?

any good vpn recommendation u ahve?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgrind:
Not really pro, just some recommendations from friends as well as some googling since I travel to China every week.

The good paid ones are Astrill and NinjaVPN. Personally I think Astrill is better due to more servers (countries) to choose from. Note that they are all subscriptions.

If you not willing to pay for the services, and you know how to configure routers on your own, you can get those routers with VPN service that you can run as server. Asus routers provides their own DNS service so you won't have to pay a cent.

If you want the easy way out, paying for the service will be the option.

Hope this helps
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s327374:
Yes, I'm not a pro ... but I take it seriously, as without .edu, .gov, and youtube etc, I cannot do my work to the fullest. I also am a sport addict and need my vpn for this.

I use two separate VPN's in case one doesn't work. I am not going to let you know in public which ones, but they are both paid. The main one I use is a popular variety not available unless you actually have a vpn. The other one is HK based that I found through an ad here actually.. I treasure them and recommend them to other Laowei often. PM me if you want the names. But I find that one may work in a certain city on a particular network and another will be better on the same network but in a different city or another variation. Anyway, they mostly work on wifi, but do ok on 4G too.

I have pretty much decided to get the 6P. How ... well I haven't worked out yet. I am loath to use taobao, but I may be able to find another way.

My real concern is that the 6P will just not work efficiently in China on a restricted network ... but, the pull to Nexis has always been strong, and now the hardware seems up to scratch - I want the Google update experience I have always craved. I'm on the N9108v Chinese Note 4 now, and while the phone has been brilliant, it has been such a trial without access to decent developer material. Only now - after a year's wait - is there a ROM I can use (see signature).

At any rate, I think I will take the plunge.

:)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgrind:
Take the plunge, you won't regret :)

Nexus 6p supports TDD-LTE, so I'm getting good connection speed on China Mobile network (I'm subscribing to CMHK and able to use the data in China)

You can order from Google Play Store directly or if you wanna check the phone before buying, you can try Wilson as I get my phone there.

Hi, guys!

i'm from Russia, and i will be in HK on vacation in the beginning of December. I want to buy 6P in HK - it's cheaper than in Moscow, and avaliable earlier. I have two question:

1) HK version has all GAPPS preinstalled, right?

2) can you recommend me a good store in HK? where i will be able to open a box to make sure there's no defects?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgrind:
Hi Nekka,

1) yes

2) I got mine at Wilson Communications. They are a chain store franchise so you will be able to come across one of them in your visit. They allow you to inspect the phone before purchase.

Wanna share with you guys that I just gotten the SPG Rugged Case for the N6p, very snug fit and won't thicken the phone too much.

As it is rubberised, it should be able to provide enough protection without the extra bulk.

I bought an S4 with a bad ESN from someone a while back and now my S4 is damaged. Where is the IMEI stored on a phone? Can I switch a part to give the bad phone my IMEI?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
As long as the two devices are identical models, swapping motherboards will swap the IMEI as well. You'll want to transfer the IMEI label if you do swap motherboards. If the devices are different models, you're on your own. That would require cloning the IMEI, which cannot be discussed here.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobbya:
On my old phone S4 mini Duos, the displayed contacts are identified by different icons: SIM1, SIM2, Device and Whatsapp. I keep domestic numbers on SIM1 and overseas numbers on SIM2. I will also keep country code prefixed domestic numbers on SIM2 such that I need not manually add the country code to make calls when I am travelling.

But on S6 this feature is gone. All contacts are sorted alphabetically and there is no SIM or device icons to identify which one is prefixed and which one is not.

Now I can only choose the option to display only SIM2 contacts when travelling and SIM1 on returning home. I appreciate any ideas to help me regain the display method on my old phone.

As far as we know, in Prophet, windows mobile gives us

42.55 MB free Storage space..

..but, in some ROM modifications (maybe i'm wrong,

but for example ... probably in Smart?), I have seen

- on screenshots - Storage is bigger. Something about 47.55 MB..

And now, I wonder how can it be done?

If could someone, who know, write here a solution - would be great :)

Am I right? -> it's a similar modification to changing PP size... using hex editor on OS.nb file?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Anthrax79:
I just moved from Verizon and the original HTC One. Several of the custom ROMs and the xposed framework had options to bypass the exhange security requirements.

My "helpful" sales rep at T-Mobile took the time to update my OS prior to me picking up the device... So I have 5.1.1 and basebase DOI1.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryyando:
Hello everyone, just picked up a note 4 and was wondering if i could get guided into the right direction.

Am hoping to install a custom rom, seeing as how my about me says that I am on OF5 I can root and install TWRP through ODIn via the instructions posted on galaxynote4root.com ?

If I want to use features such as S Note, sign pdfs, and have the thimbprint reader I assume I need to run a touchwiz custom rom? It was like that for the Note 2. Any guidance towards slimmed out roms? On my old S3 I was on darkslim and would love to find something of a fast and stable rom that can be themed entirely black while using the extra features of the note that are actually useful.

If I want to use viper audio does that lock me into aosp or touchwiz specifically?

From the little I have browsed so far, the NOTERIZED rom looks to be the one?

Other things that slightly stood out would be Hybrid-x, obar,SOKP?

What is the deal with 5.1.1? Something about a locked bootloader that forces use to run a custom kernel?Do I not have to worry about that because of OF5? Am I slightly screwed because I'm not on OB7? There's issues such as no wifi calling? Would this affect sprint spark? I'm in an area where this is available. ..

Any other suggestions? Are my desires too contradictory? Btw is there anything that allows me to have my wallpapers change everyday? I'm currently using AllianceRom for my note 2 and there is a feature in which the colors of my theme change everyday...

Would really appreciate any and all help.

Lastly,thanks again for reading this far.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
You wouldn't have issues with Wi-Fi calling or V4A on either of those ROMs that I'm aware of. You didn't mention freeza's Note 4our ROM but I'd recommend that one too.

Regarding OF5, no real advantage to keep that or its bootloader due to similar issues- no Odin downgrade capability. Depending on how you look at it; slightly disadvantaged, no downgrade through Odin/user lockable reactivation lock that will give you fits if you enable it and try to flash over it.

TW will yield the most capabilities for Note devices. You'll need to upgrade to OG5 through Odin, Odin TWRP and flash the custom ROM of your choice. All OG5 custom should include a kernel exploited for root capability as well as SuperSU in the ROM flash.
