[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:
Oh damn. Sorry. It was announced on the ProFi G+ page. Among other outlets
[Nexus 6P General] FuMMoD:
Use this url. Only one I found

[Nexus 6P General] ran495:
Got my tracking number today, but delivery is going to be 2 days late on September 22. :(
[Nexus 6P General] homerunbm33:
When was yours supposed to have shipped?
[Nexus 6P General] ran495:
was supposed to arrive on the 19th-20th
[Nexus 6P General] V3N0M_90:
Does anyone know if your phone has to be reverted back to stock before you send it in? Or does Google not really care about that?
[Nexus 6P General] gocats7:
In the emails they send you it will say to reset it but if you don't they will when they get it back.
[Nexus 6P General] V3N0M_90:
By back to stock. I mean not rooted with a custom ROM. Mine is running PureNexus at the moment. Bootloader is unlocked obviously.
[Nexus 6P General] C5Longhorn:
I flash stock ROM and then locked the bootloader to be on the safe side.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
I've been waiting a little over 2 weeks for my replacement. Still no word yet. Do you guys think they are brand new Pixel XLs or refurbished?
[Nexus 6P General] gocats7:
No idea, maybe someone who has gotten a replacement can check manufacturer date. Be at least a clue:

How to see your build date:

1. boot into fastboot and

2. scroll to barcodes and hit power you will see your build date in the middle*
[Nexus 6P General] knightshooter:
Did you try contacting the customer care regarding this ? If so what did they say?
[Nexus 6P General] skiierx131:
June 2017 for mine, just got it this week.
[Nexus 6P General] knightshooter:
Did you also experience delayed shipping?
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
No, I didn't want to be pushy or seem rude. But, I can't wait forever. Getting antsy, and I'm so sick of this faulty 6P (it was a replacement that arrived with a bad screen, and they wouldn't let me keep my original).
[Nexus 6P General] IniquitiousSoul:
Google offered a replacement for a few days, so they know the phone is junk. Now they are refusing this offer. I suggest Nexus 6P owners use Bing or Yahoo (not Google!) so search for "Class action lawsuit Nexus 6P battery" and sign up. I did. Also, post far and wide this advise for others and your displeasure at Google for selling junk and I believe they knew from the start this was crap which is why they limited the warranty to 1 year.

I am done with Google and their crap cellphones. "Class action lawsuit Nexus 6P battery"
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
I used the box they shipped the replacement in. Just the phone and that's it.
[Nexus 6P General] gocats7:
I have been assured I will be getting my pixel, just that there are stock issues at the moment. I am going to hold and be patient as ultimately they are giving me a phone they are not obligated to so a delay is ok. The key for me is I have an order in the system and I have an email stating they will honor the order as its defined.
[Nexus 6P General] cryppie:
This is not true. Pixel XL 128 as a replacement was ordered for me yesterday afternoon, shipping today. Originally ordered the 6p from Google Store 12/2015.
[Nexus 6P General] IniquitiousSoul:
Um, ah, actually it is 100% true. If you were fortunate to get a replacement you 1) paid for extended warranty or 2) just got lucky (cool), but I've been battling with Google Support all week opening up multiple tickets, phone calls, chat lines, and emails only to be told each and every time "We are not replacing Nexus 6P with Pixel XL anymore."
[Nexus 6P General] cryppie:
Ok, to clarify, it might be 100% true for you, and I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm just saying your statement doesn't apply to everyone. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you do.
[Nexus 6P General] IniquitiousSoul:
Just called Google again, for the last time, and YOUR statement does NOT apply to everyone. Enjoy your Google Pixel and good luck. As for me I am done with Google products.
[Nexus 6P General] skiierx131:
I did not. Talked to them via chat on Thursday the 14th, the phone shipped the next day, Friday the 15th. I received it on Monday the 18th.
[Nexus 6P General] homerunbm33:
What size and color?
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
This doesn't sound right. I've been waiting since the first of the month, because they don't have any. Why would they fill yours immediately? I had the extended warranty, and was very nice to them. I don't understand why they're snubbing me and giving others replacements immediately.

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

I emailed the woman that offered me the pixel, and just shoot I wasn't rushing them, but was just wondering if there was a estimate on when more would be available. She said they did not have an estimate. Yet they're giving them away to people that called yesterday. WTH.
[Nexus 6P General] cryppie:
FWIW Mine was supposed to ship yesterday but doesn't show that it shipped.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Not that I'm seeing. I bet they just told me that to pacify me, and have no intention of replacing the POS they sent me with the faulty screen.

Maybe it's because phones is supposed to be black, so maybe they didn't get any black phones in yet (well, charcoal)?
[Nexus 6P General] skiierx131:
It was a black 128GB.
[Nexus 6P General] jrdnsingh89:
Still no update on my order, was suppose to ship Sep 15th. Just chatted with google support was told that the device will probably ship in 5-7 business days. Idk how they are shipping new replacement orders while older orders are being ignored.
[Nexus 6P General] strafer69:
Just got mine yesterday. Took 2 days. They sent me a Pixel XL 128GB.
[Nexus 6P General] indianajonze:
i mean you can check the inventory at the play store. if the one they're sending you is available, then you're just being screwed
[Nexus 6P General] drone991:
A question to all who got an RMA, did you guys purchase the nexus from google store ?

I have the early shutdown and battery issue but when I contacted google support over phone they said to get in touch with huawei.. Nd huawei isn't doing a thing for me. Purchased it from a retail store mentioned on the google online store as here in india google doesn't sell phones from it's own site.

P.S: I have a 32GB Nexus 6P purchased on 1st jan 2016
[Nexus 6P General] MrKaon:
Only if you bought it from Google store directly.
[Nexus 6P General] philo_:
For those of you like me that Google can't or won't help and have been sent to Huawei and not gotten made whole. You may want to consider googling "Nexus 6p class action lawsuit". There is a current suit against Huawei and Google and well honestly since they won't make things right and make people whole I guess we have to become litigious.

Ask me about my experience and you'll understand why although I loved my 6p and got the XL Huawei will never see a dime from me and I'm determined to help as many people as possible try to be made whole or at least make huawei regret stealing their money.
[Nexus 6P General] knightshooter:
I no longer have a hold on my card.

Had to ship 15th. Still no trace.
[Nexus 6P General] DaX05:
Same exact situation here. Received the RMA on the 15th and was scheduled to be delivered on the 20th. Still no trace at all. It's really ridiculous. You can only imagine the Pixel 2 being out of stock within 15 minutes as well.
[Nexus 6P General] homerunbm33:
Mine was supposed to be delivered by the 19th. This is the email I got today from support.

"This is John from Shipping and Refunds Team. I apologize if there is still no update regarding your replacement Pixel XL. It seems like this we run out of stocks for the replacement Pixel XL and we are still working on this together with our warehouse team. We are going to ship the device within the next 5-7 business days."
[Nexus 6P General] DaX05:
I'm grateful that they are able to replace our Nexus 6P's for a Pixel XL. But the ineptitude from Google's stocking capabilities is utterly ridiculous. Atrocious! It's 2017 and they still can't keep their prized devices in stock. :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] kornklown69:
so something happened and my rma number changed twice...i was told i was getting a pixel xl which was great...they received my device as i did a standard shipment....i didn't receive any email so i pulled up chat to ask about my replacement, they apparently lost it or something so they said they marked it received and would rush my replacement...i got an email apologizing for losing it and that my nexus 6p refurb is on it way...i was pissed off because i was told a pixel xl...so i got on chat today and told them how i was told I would be receiving a pixel xl and they opened a case....two different reps on chat said i would receive a pixel xl...now because they lost my device they changed the rma number and sending my 6p...(I'm ranting..) hopefully this case they opened goes somewhere...
[Nexus 6P General] fastredponycar:
Man that sucks. I still haven't seen or heard from them yet either. My XL was supposed to have shipped out last thursday with 2 day shipping and it's still not here and no tracking info from google. Only an RMA form.

I'm going to call them tomorrow and try to get some answers.
[Nexus 6P General] kornklown69:
make sure you make them understand my man what you are supposed to get...i thought it was understood...i think now they are intentionally screwing people...by "losing" the original devices... I feel sick about this and hope they make it right...
[Nexus 6P General] mmaiolo81:
They refused to allow me to pre-ship my device... As to avoid having a $900 hold on an account...
[Nexus 6P General] knightshooter:
Got the same email last night.
[Nexus 6P General] eclairs48@gmail.com:
Just received a notification from Google that my replacement has been shipped. I am in the UK and my order was supposed to be shipped on the 20th Sep.

Just validated the IMEI number and it turns out to be a Pixel XL, not sure about the size though. My Nexus 6p was 64GB.
[Nexus 6P General] loplo:
Anyone else from Germany, who RMA'd his device?
[Nexus 6P General] 911jason:
That's odd, I went through chat on my phone last night and they were very accommodating. I shipped mine through FedEx (ground! ) from California to Texas this morning. Wondering how long it's going to take.

Also wondering which device and color they are going to replace my 128gb frost with.
[Nexus 6P General] gocats7:
So you guys are shipping your phone back before you have a replacement? Seems backwards, at least to how mine is being processed so I'm curious what the variable is?
[Nexus 6P General] 911jason:
I don't use credit cards and didn't want a huge hold on my debit card while waiting for them to receive my phone. Asked if I could send the phone to them first to avoid that.
[Nexus 6P General] gocats7:
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. That makes sense.
[Nexus 6P General] mmaiolo81:
I've asked them 3 times and each time was told that the only option I have is the huge hold... I like you, do not believe in credit cards...
[Nexus 6P General] 911jason:
Have you tried initiating a support chat from the settings menu? I think I read somewhere that the agents there seemed to be more helpful.
[Nexus 6P General] thloe:
Hello eclairs48, i´ve a question: the link that google sent you to order the RMA, was there for a Nexus or the Pixel device?
[Nexus 6P General] eclairs48@gmail.com:
Hi there, the link in the email, order confirmation email and the shipment notification email all said that it was a Nexus 6p. I checked the IMEI number(Device ID from the order confirmation email) at this website(http://www.imei.info) and found that it is in fact a Pixel XL 128GB.

Mine is going to be delivered later today.
[Nexus 6P General] thloe:
Can you tell us if it's really a pixel and what size (gb) and color it is? From where it came (Netherland, Ireland...)?
[Nexus 6P General] eclairs48@gmail.com:
Just received it few minutes ago. It is indeed a Pixel XL but only 32GB(the IMEI website says it is a 128GB). Not sure why they sent me a smaller version when my Nexus 6p was 64GB.

Don't know what to do as 32GB is definitely not going to be enough for my usage.
[Nexus 6P General] knightshooter:
It's finally shipped!!!

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

How and where to find the IMEI of replacement device??
[Nexus 6P General] eclairs48@gmail.com:
It is in your shipment notification email quoted as "Device ID Numbers", just under the phone model. Please confirm your Nexus 6p size and color along with what you are getting. Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] knightshooter:
I don't see that in my shipment notification email.

A screenshot of where you are seeing it may help.
[Nexus 6P General] DaX05:
They finally shipped mine as well. It was originally scheduled to ship Sept. 18th but it has shipped today Sept. 27th.
[Nexus 6P General] Froid:
Same here. Good to see they're coming through. I however don't show the IMEI in my email.
[Nexus 6P General] xda4ck:
It's a great news guys that we have started seeing shipping of our much awaited orders.

To those guys whose devices are shipping now, can you please confirm details - color, size, type of the devices you are getting ?

I am waiting for my very silver 128 GB Pixel XL to be shipped since 18th Sep, was to be delivered on 19-20 th. Did anyone get silver 128 GB shipped recently ?
[Nexus 6P General] homerunbm33:
Same here. I'm waiting on a very silver 128gb since September 15th.
[Nexus 6P General] Froid:
Yes mine is a Silver 128gb model and just shipped...
[Nexus 6P General] Genesisrspec:
Same here. Since Sept. 18th.
[Nexus 6P General] 911jason:
Surprise, surprise. . .got a shipping notification this morning for a 128gb pixel replacement device, due to arrive Friday. Glad they didn't wait to receive my 6p before sending it! I hope it's black, but beggars can't be choosers.
[Nexus 6P General] knightshooter:
32gb silver XL
[Nexus 6P General] eclairs48@gmail.com:
My IMEI number from the shipping notification email said that it was a 128GB Silver, but when I opened it was only a 32GB one.

Please update which one you received when you get it. Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] Froid:
Oh boy...that's not good. I will keep you posted. Should get it tomorrow evening. If it's not what I agreed to, I'll be sending it back and take my chances.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
I also had to redo my order yesterday, and then today got the email that it shipped. Let's hope it's what I ordered.
[Nexus 6P General] biggiestuff:
Maybe it's like the Nexus 6 where you have to factory reset it to see the full size correctly.
[Nexus 6P General] thloe:
Hello eclairs48, once more! With which digits starts the IMEI from your Pixel? According to http://www.imei.info/ mine is a Nexus 6P with 32gb memory although I have a 64gb device. Let's see....

Thanks in advanced

Update: But according to http://www.imei.info/ my current Nexus with 64gb is also listed as a 32gb version.
[Nexus 6P General] eclairs48@gmail.com:
My IMEI starts with 35990607****

I just checked my existing 64GB Nexus 6p IMEI on the above website, and it said it was a 32GB...

Good luck with your replacement, hope you get a Pixel XL...
[Nexus 6P General] thloe:
Thanks a lot, but I think I'll get a N6P. Did yours come from the Netherlands too?
[Nexus 6P General] patrickDE:
I just chatted with google support germany and got a 72h valid link for ordering a refurb device. No words on 6P or Pixel XL, just a "we will reach out if something isn't right and we need more information".

My 6P is nearly 2 years old, the replacement was initiated without further problems.

Now I am waiting for my prepaid CC to receive money from my bank account so I can finally click the link..

I hope I'll get a Pixel XL but even a 6P that lasts longer than 50-67% remaining would be fine..

I'll keep you updated. Anyone with Pixel XL success from germany around here?
[Nexus 6P General] Titanhunter:
I also got another 6p, but instead of 64gb it's a 128gb.

Not as good as a Pixel, but still quite nice.

Mine came also from the Netherlands.

So no Pixel in Germany.
[Nexus 6P General] xda4ck:
So no more replacement devices shipped today in USA ?
[Nexus 6P General] Froid:
Just received mine. It is a 128gb model, but it's quite black, not silver. This is actually a bonus imo because I wasn't happy with the color choice they had picked for me. This worked out in my favor for sure.
[Nexus 6P General] 911jason:
What color was your 6p? Mine was frost and I'm assuming they're sending me a silver Pixel, but I am really hoping for black!
[Nexus 6P General] jrdnsingh89:
still no update on my order in the US, have silver 64GB 6p. Order places 9/14 quite silver
[Nexus 6P General] Froid:
My 6P was Frost White and I was told it had to be the same color. I really didn't want a white phone, but Google really hooked me up so I wasn't going to complain. Getting the black model was icing on the cake honestly.
[Nexus 6P General] pinoyz:
Got my Pixel XL 128gb today too. It was supposed to be Very Silver, but received Quite Black.
[Nexus 6P General] MLAM:
Is everyones Pixel XL's brand new Retail box devices or small white box refurbished?
[Nexus 6P General] 117micc:
Yeah, project fi support was very helpful. They do also put a hold on your account, now if you do not have that kinda money you can ask for a standard exchange, but you'll have to send in your device first and wait for them to send the refurb out to you, so you'll be without a phone unless you have a backup phone to use in the meantime.
[Nexus 6P General] Froid:
Brand new here...
[Nexus 6P General] homerunbm33:
My pixel XL finally shipped today. Supposed to be a Very Silver 128GB. We'll see what I actually get.
[Nexus 6P General] drwasilew:
Anyone know how the warranty works when you get a XL? I'm sure the nexus protect still applies, but will you still get the one year manufacturer warranty? Also, can you add the Google device protection to the Pixel?

Getting a brand new phone is awesome, but I'd like to have some coverage if I'm gonna keep it for a year or two.
[Nexus 6P General] indianajonze:
do you have some reason to think it would be something other than a very silver 128gb?
[Nexus 6P General] one7dchevy:
ehh, google denied me said my phone was out of warranty and directed me to Huawei. Seems a few pages back some with 2 year old phones were replaced.. Anyone care to share what exactly they told the Google Rep?
[Nexus 6P General] indianajonze:
i told them my 2 year old phone sucks. i cannot have a phone that shuts off completely at 45% battery and can't turn on again unless plugged in. i'm an advanced user and i've gone through the phone 9 ways to sunday. it's very clearly a hardware issue and if they don't want me to sue they need to send me another or fix this one
[Nexus 6P General] mmaiolo81:
I've sent them another email asking which I am being denied the option to ship my phone in first when so many others have been able to...
[Nexus 6P General] homerunbm33:
Some people I've received different phones than they were expecting.
[Nexus 6P General] mmaiolo81:
Just for my information... How many following this thread have received a standard exchange?

Meaning you sent them your device before they sent the replacement.
[Nexus 6P General] cryppie:
Mine was supposed to be silver 128gb. Got it today and it was a black 128gb. Ordered 9/21.
[Nexus 6P General] indianajonze:
Strange. With me they sent me a link to a credit which I could use to buy a new pixel XL 128gb via direct link. A new pixel XL is what came, because that's what I ordered
[Nexus 6P General] Genesisrspec:
Mine hasn't even shipped. Ordered mine on the 16th....

??????????????????????
[Nexus 6P General] 911jason:
Chatted with support from my Nexus 6p Monday night (9/25), they agreed to replace my 128gb Frost and to let me ship my phone to them first to avoid using a credit card. Shipped my Nexus Tuesday morning (9/26) through FedEx (Ground!), received shipping notification email from Google Wednesday (9/27) and received a new black 128gb Pixel XL this morning (9/29). Super happy with my Google experience.
[Nexus 6P General] jrdnsingh89:
I have no idea as to why my order is not shipping, basically order from Sep 14-16 are not shipping but after people are getting their orders. Asked the 'specialist' as to why this happening, said all orders are priority.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
So, they sent me what they said they would. A 128gb, charcoal Pixel XL. But I think I prefer my original 6P. Performance feels the same as the Nexus (I thought it would be faster or smoother). So I started poking around the pixel forum only to find that it has no development and recoveries and rooting sounds really weird to me. I'm so used to just flashing a recovery and then flashing root and going on my merry way, that I don't know how I feel about this. Only a handful of ROMs available.

So in summation:

- No performance improvement

- No front facing speakers

- Recoveries and root are bizarre

- Same camera pretty much

....

So anyone that doesn't get a pixel shouldn't feel too bad. I'd take back my original 6P with the good screen in a second! They replaced it with another 6P with a crappy screen. And the pixel XL is not much better. Some parts of the screen are brighter that others. Probably will try other manufacturers next phone.
[Nexus 6P General] indianajonze:
well i don't know about that. pixel xl is dramatically better / faster. not even close. this thing boots in like 10 seconds.. also, very refreshing to be out and about and not have the sinking feeling of despair when the battery gets around 45%. i thought i'd have serious issues with the screen size (bigger is always better), but i don't notice it at all. the only thing that does bother me and is a step backwards is the down firing speakers. very noticeable when watching movies or videos. otherwise, pixel xl is measurably better in every way imo
[Nexus 6P General] Mr Paul:
Got a 32Gb Pixel XL replacement for my 64Gb 6P here in the UK.
[Nexus 6P General] holmgren:
Called Google yesterday to my bootlooping 6p replaced. He told me they were sending a new 128gb Pixel XL (black). Ordered it and it shipped yesterday already. Should be here Tuesday. I was really surprised.
[Nexus 6P General] MrKaon:
You don't need a custom recovery anymore but there is a new Beta TWRP for it.

Root it with latest Beta Magisk, much much better than SuperSU.
[Nexus 6P General] skiierx131:
No Development? https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/development on the first page are 6 different roms and a number of kernels, as well as a thread for TWRP, magisk, and supersu. I got my pixel xl back to the same state as my 6P in a few hours. Unlocked bootlader, Pure nexus rom, TWRP, and supersu with suhide. I pass safetynet and android pay works too.

Yes the flashing order and method is a little different, but not hard at all. I'm just glad to have a phone I can run down to 3% battery and know it'll work without issues.
