Yeah, hope they atleast improve the performance of 5x with small ots's even if hey dont provide emui5

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
I got mine shortly after it launched and immediately fell in love with it. Since then I haven't had a single urge to upgrade, which is odd for me because I'm usually itching to upgrade ASAP, especially since I have T-Mobile's JUMP plan where I could upgrade every six months. Not a single phone has enticed me enough to ditch my beloved Nexus 6, every time a new phone review comes out, I'm like "meh". Even the Pixel isn't tempting me, though I'll probably get it in about six months or so when the price (hopefully) drops and the bugs have been worked out.

My roommate also had the Nexus 6 and liked it, but not nearly as much as I do. He recently upgraded to a Note 5 since his 6 randomly stopped charging and he loves it and says it's one of the best phones he's ever had (he's not a geek like me and doesn't root it or anything, although I showed him how to do it with the 6).

Shortly after I got mine, I scratched the hell out the screen while working on my parents car so there's a nice inch long semicircular scratch in the upper right hand corner of the screen, about an inch below where the battery icon is, along with a few other small scratches. Also I've dropped it a few times so the corners are scratched up (I usually have a slim bumper case on it). Also over time the heat from the battery and processor seems to have melted the glue that holds down the backplate since it bulges out towards the center of the phone on both sides. I like the phone so much that I've even considered using my jump upgrade to get a brand new one haha It's definitely the best phone during the six years that I've been using Android.

Anyone else share the same sentiments?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtherrell:
Due to the raving mad camera of the Pixel XL, were its screen the size of my N6, I would be ordering one. Otherwise, there's nothing out there that would make me leave my N6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
at this point, its unlikely that you will find a brand new one anywhere, unfortunately..

believe me, there are tons of nexus users who feel the same way that you do. I had no desire to get a 6p, and even less desire to get an 800 dollar Pixel xl, when this N6 still runs so great..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
Yea you're probably right :( Luckily mine isn't that bad, the scratches on the screen are only noticeable when the screen is off.

After I posted this I saw people were signing the praises of the 6 in other threads haha.

I love the way the six looks, except I wish it was all black. I got a black skin for the back that had the nexus and M cut outs, and had a hard time finding a black bumper case with a clear back to show of the skin. I'm not really a fan of the way that the back of the pixel looks, so if I get it I will definitely be putting a slim case on it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Yes I am, but to develop for Nougat, I needed a second phone to have a daily driver while I rework my changes for 7.0. But since my N6 being only 32 GB, and I've found a 64 GB 6P at a very good price, my N6 became my second phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
I've been a fan of Nexus devices for several years - I've had 4, 5, 6, 7 & 10, all a pleasure to use. When the 4 came out I was happy with it, but the HD screen prompted me to upgrade to the 5. When the 6 came out, same thing - the call of the QHD was too strong... :)

But now I've been so happy with my N6 that I've ignored the 5X & 6P and have every intention of bypassing the Pixel. I don't like Apple products because of that company's vile ethos, and now that Google seem to be Apple wannabees it looks as if my relationship with their phones is over too. Well, at least until my N6 dies, when I'll be looking at something like the LG V20, OnePlus 4, or whatever the current similar top-spec device is at that future time.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
I keep a three foot long pointed stick to fend myself against the temptation of buying a fancy new phone. But usually the reason I don't do that is because I don't want them stock, to me stock's boring, and I can't rationalize it to myself that I've paid a lot of money for a phone. Not a hobby project, just a smartphone like the kids today. :D

But if I want a hobby project, I'm sure as hell I don't want cyanogemod, it has more bugs than a Windows alpha leak. I've used for a year on my Note 3, it was an official cm12.1 release, and still too many bugs for my comfort. So since I have the source, and bake my own flavour, it would be a huge step back, as in backing up on a freeway measured step back to go back to hacked together more or less daily driver level roms.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
I'm not a developer, just a propellorhead (I've been in mainframe tech for over thirty years), but the ability to play with the devices and have proper control is important, so any device I buy will have to be rootable. They mostly seem to be thanks to the excellent devs in this site.

P.S. It looks as if the world and his dog agree with you about Cyanogen... :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodcarver:
Definitely, it's just a great device in many aspects. The screen size is a matter of taste of course, but perfect for me since I do a lot of office stuff during commutes. The 5+ hours of screen time gets me well through the day, and front speakers are easy to get addicted to as well :D

The only thing I think about sometimes is that it's a tad bit heavy when holding it for longer periods of time. Don't know if it's heavier than other phones with similar screen sizes? Still, I'm camping for at least another year, or until it breaks and can't be repaired.

My very first "smart phone" was the release of the T-Mobile G1, and fell in love with Android. Been on numerous devices since then but the day I picked this up it was incredible. It actually fit my hands. To date my favorite device and my daily driver. My 6p is still in its box as a backup.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfen69:
There are still brand new in box N6's on ebay. They may be getting harder to find, but they do exist.

But anyway, I still love the heck out of my N6 even after 18 months of use. My battery % rarely goes below 60%, so my battery should last a good long while. I'm in no rush to get a new phone. It's lightning quick with Nougat and does everything I need.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Yep you can get bnib N6 XT1103 for 259.00 on EBay. Thought about buying one for a spare. Its a solid device still.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
I'm sure many will disagree with me and that's fine but my only complaint is the size. It is larger than I'd prefer. If it were the size of a moto X pure or 5" that would be good. Even maybe 5.5 but nearly at 6" it's too large.

If I get the Pixel I would get the smaller one. I'm done with the huge phones. Just isn't practical for me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammath:
I'm still happy about this phone but I still want to replace is sometime soon. Hopefully the Huawei mate 9 will be good and also have a 6 inch screen. Just cant go back to a smaller size.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otsefe:
For me, my big problem is that i still can say a big "yes", is all that i need... and is a problem. I don't like 6p and pixel XL (3 years with a phone >=5.7, i'm not confortable with any smaller), they are too... how to say, similar to others. My N6 is diferent, isn't soo square as others. Ok, i don't have fingerprint, slow-mo camera... but i use my charger qi when i arrive at work, my screen is, for me, best i ever seen in a phone, FRONT SPEAKERS!!!!!!, there are 2 ways to see a video, with our phone, and the others. Camera, for me works too fine, hdr+ is incredible, ok, in low-light isn't perfect but... it isn't a professional camera.

Maybe i ask too much, but i can't see any phones that offers me enought reason to change my phone :S. 64bits SoC... well, to work i use my laptop, i won't install my work-software on it, i still don't need it. 3GB ram... without comments, offer the same. So... when appears any really different i will think on that, meanwhile i'm in love with my nexus and my android black bumper :P
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipstik:
still loving this device. i got the 32 gig, and i constantly think about getting a 64, even though my phone is in perfect shape. got it from pre-order, and i'm hoping that it lasts another year or 2.

dont think ill be able to go back to anything less than 5.7" display, and dual front facing stereo speakers is on my checklist, which no one seems to offer any more, if i were to get a new phone.

the antennas also seem to be really good, but i had an antennagate iphone 4 for 4.5 years.

the design is really sleek, no weird bumps or panels. the phone came at a great time to remain competitive, since it was before the 810 fiasco, and seems like our 805 can support daydream. still unhappy we havent been able to get slo-mo working (since the oneplus 1 has the same sensor with slo-mo)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcfvct:
it's still a great phone

Bought the phone right after its launching. Still runs strongly.

Iam a savvy guy on smartphone changing device every year. However after Nexus 6, I can't find any other comparable phone with wireless changing, dual front facing speaking and slim bezel. Hopefully the next pixel could achieve something like that. Price is really not a issue as long as it is a solid one.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aspexil:
Unfortunately mine N6 camera has developed spots (see my other thread) in the camera sensor. I bought the phone back in Aug 2015. I'm hoping Google comes through with at least refurbished replacement. But as it is my N6 camera is useless now with the severe spotting in the photos. I'm either going to have to start carrying a separate pocket camera or just give up on taking photos for now.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Technically I don't have mine anymore since I switched to iPhone 7 but it's still in the family running great. Used it for a while, passed it to wife and then to my dad. And now I'm planning to give him the 5X from the drawer and take back N6. Lol

OH oh and also I once sold it and bought it back a week later. This phone has really been around and still not a scratch or a dent.

I love this phone I can't seem to change it its the perfect size. Also have you guys tried setting the DPI to 400 its awesome makes the phone fill bigger.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note10.1Dude:
Yes overall. I got mine because I lost a 2014 Moto X and have been complaining about the size ever since I got it, but I recently used my wife's Pixel (not XL) and decided the advantages of 6" outweigh the disadvantages. That said, aside from the screen size, I sure like her Pixel. I do prefer the Moto phone shape in the hand.

I will probably upgrade next year once security patch support runs out, but would buy a new one today if it were offered with an 835 and future support for Android Oreo and Peanut Brittle.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceKreem:
Yes but not when it is at stock settings. The throttling for example was a pain in the the a**. Thankfully I have now removed the throttling. As I constantly use android pay.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSmileyJr:
I for one have been quite unhappy with the nexus 6. I'm not writing here to just vent. I am hoping that someone here can point me on how to fix this long list of problems that I've had with the most expensive phone I've ever purchased.

I bought mine new from Amazon (64gb) on Black Friday 2015 so its about 1.5 years old.

Most of these problems have existed since I first got the phone. I first got a 32gb, and then returned and got a 64gb, hoping that an OTA update would fix the problems which existed on the 2nd (current) phone too. I've basically been just so busy that I never had the time to deal with fixing/swapping/buying something new so I've just suffered with a half working phone.

1) The Lag is unbearable. My wife's 1st gen moto G is faster, and I paid $25 for it. I've had times where it took me about 5 minutes to coax the phone to make a call. Same thing with responding to emails or texts. Keyboard basically suddenly wakes up and presses the last 20 chars at once.

2) Camera is SUPER slow. I basically miss every picture of my kid I want to take.

3) Bluetooth has never ending problems - constant loss of connection with my moto 360 watch and with my car. Basically has made my watch useless

4) Every time I'm outside and get a call, the screen takes like 20 seconds to adjust to the light so I don't know who is calling. Constantly pressing the power button by mistake thinking screen is off which rejects calls... all in all makes me want to throw the phone. far.

5) More or less since I bought it, the usb cable doesn't stay in. Same cable works fine with other phones. Other cables also dont' stay in.

6) Battery has now gotten pretty bad - I pulled it off charger at 6:30 am, barely used phone, and at 8:30 it was at 40%.

7) This is obviously an either hate it or love it thing, but it is possible that the wide 6 inch size has caused me tendinitis in my thumb. I will not choose for my next phone one that requires me to over extend my thumb. I do like the large size and the front speakers though. I chose such a large size because I was hoping it would be large enough to not have to buy a tablet, but in practice it is still too small for me to get any real work done.

Fixes?

1) Fix lag with different rom? Lineage/Cyanogen? I want something with steady updates, especially so on the security side, and preferably something that doesn't disable android pay. Stability, security and "just works" is most important. Customization is secondary. I'm at a point in my life/career where I need things to JUST WORK.

2) Hopefully #1 fixes the camera too

3) And fixes bluetooth issues

4) Is ambient light sensor broken and a Hardware issue or software can fix?

5) Most likely a hardware issue. I can live with if needed. Anyone have a hardware fix?

6) I can swap the battery, but I'm sure Rom plays a part too.

7) If phone works fine I will live with the too large size for my thumb for now.

Would love some insight from you guys.

Thanks!

Hope I can help out I have had 3 nexus 6 all worked great no slow downs or anything until I reached a low battery that's when it starts to throttle really bad. I started researching and found a throttle fix that keeps all the cores on when on low battery which the phone turns off and only keeps two on on low battery. This is the link for the zip you can flash with twrp. https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/mod-disable-throttling-battery-low-t3440814 it should be on the first post. For the custom rom right now I'm using purenexus link is here https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/rom-pure-nexus-project-t3148214 it runs really good smooth I made it my daily driver . I have never had any trouble with the Bluetooth or the ambient light . try this ROM out flash with the zip that I mention to not throttle. And for the camera I think it work great with HDR disable a lot faster. But I usually don't take pictures. I hope this helps
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dopamin3:
Then you got a "lemon". I've had 3 Nexus 6 devices and even on stock they do not exhibit behavior like that. Flashing a custom ROM and kernel may very well help (I recommend Pure Nexus + Blackbird) but if it's a hardware issue then changing the software won't necessarily make a ton of difference.

Also Pure Nexus comes unrooted. Flash Magisk and use Magisk Hide, you can pass safety net and use Android Pay, Snapchat, Pokemon Go, etc...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSmileyJr:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowcore:
I dont usually comment, but maybe you should see what issues the 5x has.

Its certainly no flagship device, and it would be a down grade to go from the N6 to 5x
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arju:
The Nexus 5x has serious issues. One after one is getting sent into bootloop because of a hardware fault. Go to the Nexus 5x q&a section of XDA to have a read. I would consider it very a unreliable option. Even the Nexus 6p seems to have a bootloop issue that just suddenly occurs.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arju:
It's a nice phone but being addicted to running custom ROMs, this wouldn't be that great of an option due to the closed source kernel. It does not have good custom development support. If one does not care about that then it's​ a good phone. I would probably wait or just go for the OnePlus 3t that has a great development community both here at XDA and on G+. Getting a newer phone on contract, I'd probably go for the LG G6 as the snapdragon processor is development friendly. In the Nordic market where I live, the Samsung Galaxy S8 only is delivered with the Exynos processor which is not so developer friendly when it comes to custom aosp based ROMs. Having said that, non of the newer phone impresses me, especially with the high price. My Nexus 6 runs great and has great official support from the Dirty Unicorns team. I'm going to wait and stick to my Nexus 6 for a long while I guess.

Edit: esthetically looking the Galaxy s8 does impresses me but that's about it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
understandable; I am keeping my nexus 6 until it dies, so, if I want to flash roms and such, that phone will always be there for me..

but, as far as a incredibly fast, smooth, and great looking phone, with every built in feature imaginable, the Mate 9 Pro is impossible to beat!

I was considering a 3T as well, but the Mate 9 Pro just leaves it in the dust in every way...

Sure, there will be more Dev on the 3T, but like I said, I have my nexus 6 for that...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arju:
I'll also keep mine till it dies. My Nexus 6 is my daily driver, I use it as work and personal phone. If I were to get a replacement I would personally go for a development friendly phone as I don't want to or not in need of carrying two phones. Nexus 6 is 32bit and newer phones are running on 64bit. The day Google stops pushing code for 32bit for both aosp and app support is when the Shamu will face the end of time. When that happens, most of us would have moved on to another device. Due to being so sucked into the custom ROM environment I'd probably go for the OnePlus 3T as my next phone. Whenever the next OnePlus comes the current will receive a prize drop, at least in the second hand market. I'm sure and hope that my Nexus 6 will survive until then. I'm really happy about the Nexus 6. It still stands great even today.
