I'm now on my second 6p and waiting for the third one to arrive shortly. The first device had scratches and even on the screen there was a tiny chip on the edge of the screen. The second one, stuck red pixels appeared after two days of use!

I'm getting bored with this situation now!
[Nexus 6P General] uknowme4me:
Same with my 64gb Frost! I've been waiting for 4 days for Google CS to get it figured out. Had to send them pictures of the scratches and chip in the glass by the volume and power button. I don't think they believed me when I told them I inspected the device after unboxing it and found the scratches and chip. Hopefully they get it figured out soon.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Don't rely on emails only, they often don't reply to them. If you speak to them on the phone or through their chat messenger service and tell them you're unhappy, they'll RMA usually straight away. I've always had my replacement phone sent out the same day after actually speaking to them on the chat thing.
[Nexus 6P General] mkouk:
Third one arrived today...same old $h!t. This one also has dead pixels and the earpiece is buzzing during calls.

I'm really frustrated. I called Google support and they are so helpful but good service doesn't make up for a bad device! I'm losing the will and faith with all these RMAs.

I'm assuming you are based in the UK, from your username? It sounds like a lottery. I'm in a first time lucky scenario with my frost 64gb as I have no defective screen, great balanced speakers, no scratches before my handling it etc etc. Only found that some of my earphone's don't work while others do.

A friend of mine just ordered one after owning a Note 3 all this time and received his Nexus in just 2 days. I checked his graphite model for any faults and his display seemed to have BETTER white balance and a smidgen brighter, ran the speaker test and it passed and it even ran my earphones that refused to play sound on my Nexus! My other earphones work fine on mine, just discriminates between different pairs for some reason.

So it really seems like a lottery with Huawei. I'm thinking that this time they were mass producing at a MUCH greater quantity after Google gave them the contract, hence so many QC issues. If you get a good sample, this phone is sublime otherwise. My only complaint is the crippling throttling the CPU does. I hope that it isn't just my model.
[Nexus 6P General] chetly968:
I ended up sending my aluminum back cuz of a few little scratches the phone came with. Originally didn't bother me that much but then thought.....my new device should not have scratches. Reordered the graphite (the first graphute I originally had was full of white chips on the corners). This one doesn't have any chips but that piece on the back bottom is not completely flush. Although I don't think I would have noticed if people on this forum had mentioned issues like that. Damn all of you!!!!!! Lol.

These are all minor issues to be sure....I've just got OCD issues.
[Nexus 6P General] jtwlbz:
All the nexues have been lottery. I had to replace at least three times to get a decent one. No surprise.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
I found in the build prop how to turn off noise cancelling. Going to test that out. Does AT&T have HD calling yet?

Used this trick to turn off noise cancelling on voice calls and it fixed my issue. Why they took that setting away when it is a fairly common occurrence, I will never understand.
[Nexus 6P General] LinuxParadigm:
Yes, so true. God forbid that people receive a non-defective device. This ridiculous culture entitlement is just outrageous. [/s]
[Nexus 6P General] chinmay_7d:
Yeah my 32Gb Aluminium had cellular connectivity issues right out of the box. But i did not discover it until 2 days later since i was on T-Mobile Wifi Calling network which was working fine.

I noticed the issue when I stepped out of my house and the phone would refuse to get any cellular reception whatsoever. I had to reboot it multiple times and search network manually for it to detect reception. And when it did (which did not last for long), it woudnt connect to LTE data, just an E/G/H or nothing.

Due to the fact that the phone desperately trying to detect reception all the time, the battery life was absolutely terrible and also caused a lot of heating.

Called up Google Support and they have issued a replacement 6P which i hope wont have any issues. *fingers crossed*
[Nexus 6P General] Henrock11:
Mine is pretty good so far. Only thing I notice is a slight rattle when you tap the phone around the camera area. Is this normal? I was thinking its either the camera or the vibration motor. If anyone can test this for me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] Technicolors:
Yeah, my 6P screen shifts to a pink hue below the 1/3rd mark on the brightness slider.
[Nexus 6P General] michael871410:
My screen is scratched right out of the box
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
I would get a new sim first and make sure provisioning is right before swapping.
[Nexus 6P General] chinmay_7d:
Sim is just fine since it works good with my other phones. I also tried to test the phone with other sims. No luck.
[Nexus 6P General] __NBH__:
I have decided to exchange my 6P, I know I could get one with similar issues but it's worth a try.

The pictures don't really show the screen very well, it looks worse in real life to me, there is a pink hue on the left side of the screen about two thirds across where the text is whereas the right third of the screen has more of a blue hue. It doesn't look as bad at home but under the lights at work it looks worse. You can see the blue colour better in the top right corner, it looks like that down the length of the screen.

Also on the back there is a small spec of something under the glass which covers the camera lens. It hasn't moved but I don't want it falling into the lens at some point.

The bottom speaker is slightly quieter than the top one but not much, I mainly want to get a good screen. At least if it is pink or blue all over I can adjust the colour in the future like on the Nexus 6 but with it being multi coloured I don't really stand a chance
[Nexus 6P General] maxwellag:
I have the exact same issue with the left side of the screen looking pink and the left blue/green. Might RMA it.
[Nexus 6P General] samven582:
I have the same issue. Pink screen on the left side of the screen . Will RMA it
[Nexus 6P General] brar.arsh:
Do Google accept to change the color of RMA device?

My proximity sensors seem to not work at times, is anyone else having this issue?
[Nexus 6P General] TechBSwift:
This freaking sucks, my brand new RMA is not only a yellowish color again... but the bottom speaker volume is lower than the top... wtf
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
It seems all the phones have different volume speakers.
[Nexus 6P General] mo123456789:
I received mine this morning and the bottom left of the screen is cut off with a blue outline. Really gutted. See the attached photo.
[Nexus 6P General] pokedroid:
Does it do that fading thing outside of Google now? Mine fades like that but isn't blue and I don't see blue in the image you uploaded. Are my eyes just bad?

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

So I'm freaking out now.. My phone has a link hue when on low brightness and adaptive display... I was just thinking it was because the brightness was so far down and the led had to give off SOME light, that that's what was causing it. Should I be looking into returning mine and waiting until they get the panels figured out? I've fallen in love with the phone, but if I'm going to buy one at retail price, I want top quality
[Nexus 6P General] mo123456789:
If you look in the bottom left corner and zoom into it. The screen is slightly cut.
[Nexus 6P General] aygul12345:
Have all the Nexus 6p this problem?

[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Mine is pretty even, maybe slightly louder up top. I can't believe it is such a thing. Might be time for manufacturers to go back to one crappy speaker blowing through the back so people have less to complain about.
[Nexus 6P General] TheHeeyyy:
Unfortunately there appears to be a hardware defect with the audio jack of my Nexus 6P, as the phone is unable to reduce the sound volume through the inline remote controls of my wired headsets. I noticed this problem occur while listening to music on the Google Play Music app, as well as while watching video on the Youtube app. I am able to pause and increase volume through the inline remote controls, but pressing the decrease volume button has no effect on the sound volume. Both my Samsung HS330 and Xiaomi Piston 3 wired headsets support inline remote controls for Android devices, and both devices exhibited the same issue on my Nexus 6P. Also, I tried out both headsets on a Nexus 5X, and all the inline remote controls worked properly on it. I'm going to contact Google tomorrow and see if they will RMA it.

I faced the dreaded lift issue on the lower left side of the back panel on my 64GB Graphite. Pic attached.

RMA'd yesterday and the replacement ordered. Estimated Delivery date of 11-13 November but the order status changed into Processing yesterday itself. Not sure when it'll ship.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
If you spin the phone on left channel right channel video you get a good Idea the video sound is not that well balanced .

No headphone symbol when earphones plugged in,is this normal
[Nexus 6P General] TechBSwift:
This is coming from someone who's had 4 nexus 6p's, my suggestion to all is do not do an RMA right now unless you have an extreme defect. I've only found 1 perfect phone out of the 4. I'm going to hold on to my last RMA which still has flaws but Huawei and Google need to work out the bugs first. I believe I'm getting phones from the same batches, or phones prior to Google being aware of the issues reported. We have a year to get RMA's so I'm going to wait a month before ordering another. I'm tired of returning phones and resetting up my apps. I've rooted and flashed a customer rom and kernel on my current phone. The efuse is still enabled so at this time we can always return to 100% stock.
[Nexus 6P General] painfree:
My phone is perfect cosmetically and I detect no difference in the speaker balance volume yet I have a real problem with the reviewers who said the speaker is the loudest they have heard and yet my Nexus 6 is far louder and sounds better/richer with a superior stereo presence. My problem is with the benchmarks that are far less (40%) of what others are getting on a stock non rooted phone. This is too much variance to see phone to phone.. This Nexus 6P seems to have better WiFi than any other Nexus I have yet I am still waiting on the LTE performance with T mobile compared to my Shamu. If it is significantly better, I will most likely keep the 6P but I am really favoring the sound of the Shamu and I am pleased with the Raw photos it is/has been generating. I just do not know even with better LTE if the phone is worth the $400 more as I can still return N6 for a refund.
[Nexus 6P General] Chilidog:
Just got my Oct 1st pre-order and the top half or the screen was pink... Getting a replacement now...
[Nexus 6P General] osi13:
Who cares about benchmarks. The N6 was slow, laggy, and way too big. It couldn't handle the 1440p display. The 6P is the complete opposite. I can underclock the 6p to 960/1248mhz and the gpu to 450mhz and it's still smooth. The worst part about it is that it's slippery as hell and a case is nearly required.
[Nexus 6P General] maxwellag:
Agreed. Benchmarks are obsolete. Unless you literally run benchmarks for fun, they mean nothing. What really matters is day to day usage and performance, and that's where the Nexus devices excel.
[Nexus 6P General] Steb6891:
I don't have any problems with my nexus6p even dropped it a few times not a mark on it. Although my proximity sensor is covered by a poor manufactured screen protector. Waiting on one with the right cut out
[Nexus 6P General] CarlosAbia:
I don't think I've seen anyone report any kinds of issues with Frost Nexus 6P's. May or not have anything to do, it's just an observation
[Nexus 6P General] :
I will wait with purchase, until they sort out those defective units...
[Nexus 6P General] sand_dog:
Thinking about RMAing my 6P. I have pink hue all the way up the right side that slopes down once it get down to the bottom corner with more of a yellowish whites more towards the top, regardless of being in adaptive brightness mode or not or screen brightness level. The viewing angle straight on changes to a blue if you slightly change the angle. The screen isn't mounted correctly on the left side of the phone and can see the edge of the glass compared to the right side which is slightly below the aluminum. The top speaker is also louder than the bottom. I also have the plastic piece on the back slightly raised. I have most of the defects on the list lol. I'm glad they had such high demand for this awesome phone, but it shouldn't have come at the expense of quality just because they were in a rush.
[Nexus 6P General] SAL8116:
As I've mentioned in other threads, received mine last week, popped in sim, and phone never made it past the android boot animation. Did the steps Huawei mentioned and still nothing. Hopefully getting my replacement later this week after they receive the defective unit.

Just ordered a RMA. Not even a full day and the fingerprint scanner in my 6P stopped working completely after failing to scan through out the day. Very disappointed so far considering the device looked flawless.
[Nexus 6P General] Blancos4Lyf:
Mine is almost perfect, slightly red hue at lowest brightness adaptive display and a disgusting battery life got it with a Carrier taking it back Thursday.

Oh and charging took 1 hour 20 minutes for the first couple of charges (0-100%) and now it's taking over 2 and a half from 20%
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
My 64 graphite was perfect - except for the dam pink tint that changed to blue/green at slight angles!

Rma - and another is on the way.
[Nexus 6P General] pj1980:
have a 32gb aluminum that arrived yesterday and i have no defects on the body and no screen issues, whites are white to me. i keep adaptive off and have my brightness at 70% usually.
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
Noticed something really odd today.

In bright sun, display to the max, there's a definite green tint to the entire screen - except where there is a shadow - than it's a red hue!

Thought I was seeing things, but no, moved a finger over the screen and there it was.

Now I'm really happy it's rma!
[Nexus 6P General] ac16313:
That's normal on SAMOLED screens.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Did you try hard reset to make sure it wasn't a software issue?

rogue app?
[Nexus 6P General] ns_vu:
Hard reset, safe mode, clear cache through recovery modd, etc.
[Nexus 6P General] redstorm64:
Hmm... somewhat disappointed to see all these issues people are having... Just ordered mine a few days ago and it should be arriving on Nov 11. Crossing my fingers I guess...
[Nexus 6P General] Datsun.510:
Got my 64gb Graphite finally. Upon closer inspection I found that the rear bottom cover is a little off centered and the color of it is brownish and not charcoal grayish like the Graphite should be. Anyone with the rear bottom cover being brownish? Here is a pic. Will try to take one in better lighting.
[Nexus 6P General] ern88:
Well, hope you enjoy the same thing with your next one. Because it's normal for that type of screen. Cheers.
[Nexus 6P General] mosincredible:
I wonder how much extra it would cost a company to actually have meticulous people inspecting the phones before boxing them up. I'd pay extra to know I have a 95%+ chance of getting a flawless device. I hate unboxing and re-boxing phones over and over until I get one that's actually flawless. It's probably some guy out there that doesn't even notice the flaws who's getting the flawless phone.
[Nexus 6P General] 91SDLegend:
Not sure if mines is considered defective, but when looking at the display from the left side at an angle, the green tint shows, and from the right side at an angle, the pink tint shows. Would this be something that I should RMA?

Literally the screen is the only thing I'm worried about, the rest of my device is perfect. Speakers are quite balanced and there are no scratches/imperfections in the device body.
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
Cool, I'm going to love it!

When I get rid of the half red half blue screen under normal light/viewing angle, I'll have that to look forward to.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
man, that does suck. Hope you have better luck with the next one.
[Nexus 6P General] SAL8116:
This has been by far the slowest it has ever taken me to get a replacement. Once my replacement does arrive a sternly worded letter/email is going to go to Huawei and Google. This is frankly very unacceptable. Not that I expect anything to come of my email/letter, but at least gives me an avenue to voice my severe displeasure. I ordered from Huawei direct.

Anytime I've had a defect phone in the past, a replacement got shipped that day (so long as it made the mailing cutoff) and mostly overnight shipping. Never have I waited this long to get a replacement.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
amoled screens have tint like that at certain angles. How much of an angle? If its at a severe angle, I wouldn't worry about it. If its just off looking straight down, you might have a better luck with a new device.
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
I just did. Red looking straight at it - blue/green over more and more of the screen as the angle increases.

I told cs, I use a pic of my golf course as wallpaper taken in the fall - looking right at it the reds and oranges are there - any angle and they start to disappear, getting worse as angle increases.

Replacement due tomorrow. Everything else is perfect - went over it with a fine tooth comb. Was afraid to rma it, but I'm very sensitive to color. Thought I could get used to it but it bugs the shirt out of me.
[Nexus 6P General] ns_vu:
Thanks man, already have a new device coming tomorrow. Just scared because other than the fingerprint scanner, my current device is flawless.
[Nexus 6P General] 91SDLegend:
Roughly about 45 degrees is when you start to see it heavily. It looks fine when I look at it perfectly straight down.

If I look at it straight from the either side of the phone when I have the phone leveled to my eyes, it shows.

Would this still be considered normal?
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Mine gets slightly greenish at those angle, but it doesn't bother me. If it concerns you, can always exchange it and see if second one is better.
[Nexus 6P General] ga9213:
The pink hue is likely apparent in most of the screens as it color shifts with angle so if the edge of the screen is off even a hair, you'll see it. It's not uncommon with amoleds and if you're going through 3+ devices just to find a flawless sample, you're too picky and should go find an IPS phone. But then you'll return it 10 times as you will be dealing with light bleed.

Very few phones are able to have perfect color uniformity. No phones are flawless. Every launch has nay sayers and whiners. Take the whiners' opinions with a grain of salt.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Yeah, I saw someone on here saying that they talked to Google about their 6p and nexus 9, the nexus 9 because of the abnormal light bleed...
[Nexus 6P General] FuMMoD:
No it's cause there's less frost phones out there. So in comparison they seem to have less problems. My 128gb Frost has pink on the whole right side. I'm getting my RMA Thursday. Hopefully that one doesn't have any tint and if it's uniform I'll be happy. I can calibrate it if it's uniform. The only problem is if one spot is different than the rest which is what I'm dealing with right now.
[Nexus 6P General] hibby50:
I'm getting mine Friday and have 2 questions.

1. Are RMAs handled through Google or Huawei?

2. Can you RMA up to a year or within the first 15 days and if it's 15 days does that time frame reset when you get a replacement?

All you Internet folk have me freaking out your all terrible lol! I'm seriously considering returning it and getting a nexus 6 if I have any defects. What's holding me back is the lack of a 128gb model and no expandable memory.
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
I checked a friends s5 mini - whites are white - no color shift, even at 45+ degree angle.

You may be happy spending your money on a flawed device, I am not.

Best of luck to ya!

[Nexus 6P General] mosincredible:
Lol @ no phones are flawless. The epitome of grading on a curve. I'd say your opinion is to be taken with a grain of salt. With your mindset, companies will never strive to better their QC. They'll stop at "that might work".
[Nexus 6P General] ga9213:
There's a balancing act between price, performance, demand and quality. Grading on a curve is a real thing, and if you expect perfection, expect to pay the price of perfection. In the electronics world, components have a grade based on yield quality and you don't get a price tag lower than the competition by demanding the highest grade yield of every component in the phone. Welcome to the real world!
[Nexus 6P General] joshuadjohnson22:
I have the slight pink issue but that doesn't bother me, what bothers me is how much louder my top speaker is than the bottom. It is night and day. I want to swap but I'm concerned it would have a different or the same issue.
[Nexus 6P General] Epic800:
Received mine yesterday and I have an apparent yellow tint on the bottom half of my screen. I have contacted Google for a replacement already. Crossing my fingers the next one is better and not worse.
[Nexus 6P General] mosincredible:
You're not telling me anything I don't know. I know business. The problem is that there is no price of perfection because no company even tries. They have plenty of people like you who will accept less. Why put forth a business model in efforts to make a product the best you can if people have low standards? I'd easily be willing to pay extra to guarantee a better product and no out of box issues. But I guess I'm in the minority for caring about top notch quality.
[Nexus 6P General] detonation:
Just got my 128GB Frost yesterday. Oleophobic coating was applied crooked and the screen has a slight yellow tint on the upper half. I could live with the screen but the coating is an obvious manufacturing defect and very noticeable in good lighting. A quick call to google support and my RMA has already been ordered.

Sadly, the 64GB Aluminum I returned for this one was perfect.
