NEXUS 6P ☉Un-boxing and Rant thread☉ - Nexus 6P General

This thread is here so not to fill other threads with generalized N6 rant.​
Please discuss the following here:
Shipping woes
Likes and dislikes of the:
Build
Quality
Support
Color choices
Screen
Speakers
Volume
Buttons
Battery
Size
Reception (wifi and or data)
Aspects in comparison to previous Nexus builds.
I received my device...
Should there need be anything added, please let me know.
This thread is a NON FLAME zone​

Anyone else in "Processing" purgatory? Been processing for almost 48 hours. A coworker also went processing 4 hours AFTER I did, already shipped and will have it in hand tomorrow.

A rant thread is good for the above things until things shake out a bit, but how about a received shipping thread too? This way we can just view the waiting area with like minded people.. waiting. Then if I want to see who got their shipping confirmations I can torture myself in another thread.

It would be nice if Google were more open regarding the different color and capacity shipping times. There have been a multitude of posts showing contact w/ Google CSR and very little explanation regarding these questions.

Great game last night:good:
Have you contacted Gcsr?

Yeah it was! I still think its a rebuild year for them though.
No I haven't just because mine isn't due to ship till the 5th and chances are they have no clue whats going on lol.

My first rant: mine is sitting at the front door after leaving FedEx center 1 mile from my office.
Google: stop locking FedEx shipments from being able to be picked up at local FedEx center. If Motorola (your former company) did and continues to, then so can you.

Unfortunately Apple and BB play the same games when they are contracted.

Only complaint so far is battery life. It seems freakin dismal, I feel as though I must be doing something wrong! Perhaps Pushbullet does not agree with this phone?

Not yet, I've only been off charger for a few hours so I will post one later tonight. I'm driving to Milwaukee which is a few hours away and don't have a USB-C car charger yet so I'm worried about it dying. For reference, I'm currently at 84%, at this point in the day with my HTC One M8 (which already had pretty poor battery life) I was usually at 93-95%.

Nice write up. They usually do a nice job with their reviews. I was hoping to pick this up a BB but my local store won't have them until the 10/12
Called my local ATT store as well and they didn't get any today(better come tomorrow)

The AT&T stores will most likely have most of the phones compared to a Best Buy, but if I hadn't pre-ordered mine, I would go to the store that opened up first.

I like the review. Glad its not so iPhone biased like Engadget normally does their reviews.
They are lying their asses off though when it comes to battery life being phenomenal. I'd always trust Anandtech review's more for battery life testing which rates it at good for screen-on time but not "AMAZING" the way Engadget is making it out to be...
This is my 8th Android and ive had all iPhone generations and I can honestly say that for the screen size and power that this phone packs, it does have awesome battery life. The best ive ever seen in Android. I text all day, surf web, talk, email, facebook, write and read lots of emails, read xda, etc.. and past 3 days it has lasted me thru my 8-10 hour shift with about 20-25% left to spare as I get home.
This battery life is just as good, if not better, than the iPhone 4 mho

kashmir - you have got to be kidding when I guy puts these up for sale with the following babble:
"Hold on; let me play a sad song on the violin while you complain.
Day in and day out, I am smiling. There isn’t any specific reason in particular, but everything in my life right now is perfect. Not only do I have an amazing job with oodles of growth opportunity at Taco Bell. Right now I’m just making tacos, but my manager told me that he usually doesn’t have employees with my level of enthusiasm and that I could really go places within the company. I have this one idea … it’s sort of like the Crunchwrap Supreme, but it’s literally just two crunchy tacos inside the quesadilla tortilla. Genius, right? Not only would that taste incredible, but Taco Bell wouldn’t even have to buy any additional product … plus assembly would be a snap. My manager beamed when I told him that one.
Besides my awesome Taco Bell career ahead of me, I’ve got a lot more to be happy about. I recently got married to the most beautiful person I’ve ever met. We have two children and they’ve actually been aging at 1.5 times the normal rate, meaning that my 3 and 6 year old are actually 4 and 9 years old. I can’t wait for my 60th birthday when I’m going to be the same age as my first-born … every year after that she’ll be able to give ME advice about getting older!
You’d think that with all those things going on, my life couldn’t possibly get better, right? WRONG! Just last week I came into a windfall of HTC EVO View 4G Tablets. And when I say windfall I mean like 400,000 of them. Literally. I gave a few away to my friends and family, but mostly I’ve just been playing football with them. Boy I love football."
It may be humoruos, and maybe I'm humorless, but htis is wacked...

That's just blatantly copying woot's style.
Just ordered 1 from mobile.dailysteals.com
I want to know. Will all flyer roms work on this? I bought it to use as a wifi tablet. Its better then look tablet and kindlefire for $230 only! 32gb and you also have option for sd card! Maybe singlecore processor be problem but clocked at 1.5 I think it will do just fine.
So far, current flyer roms will not work on the View is the general answer.
Also, I've read on other sites (slickdeals) that some of these sites may take 1 or 2 weeks to ship. If you're cool with that then it's all good.
Bensoutlet just lowered the price to $219! I ordered it this morning for 239.. I emailed them to see if they would give a price adjustment since they lowered it just a couple hours after I bought it
Cool, It is now down to $219 on Bensoutlet.com. I just got mine today from the ebay deal. It got here in two days. I paid $240 and I am very happy. It is a nice tablet. My other tablet is the gtablet with bad viewing angles.
Whoops, right after posting this I see the post before this says the same thing.

Yes. Have tons of stuff on Amazon (uploaded my entire music collection). Have lots of movies on Amazon as well. Have 50 gb of space on dropbox. However, wifi not always accessible, and would like to carry music, books and manga with me. Would also like to have some of my favorite videos stored as well.
Daily Steals had it for $229
did anyone who ordered from ben's get shipping notification yet?
Just got my shipping notifications on 2 separate orders. The emails were in my spam box though.

Me too. I had ordered it when it was $239 and then just a few hours it dropped to $219. I emailed them and they said they are going to give me the $20 credit. So if you did jump on it and order from Ben's you might be able to get a $20 price adjustment credit. I'm not sure though if me ordering it just a few hours before they changed the price mattered or not but they did say they would issue me a credit for the difference
Anyone know where I can get another one of these? I bought one from 1saleaday.com but now I need to order a second!

What do I win? This is actually one I tested last week. I no longer have it and have to wait for mine. What a tease it was.
HTC EVO 4G LTE is actually a time travel device
You can imagine my excitement when I opened an email from Sprint saying they shipped my New EVO. But upon scanning the email, I became elated after discovering that I received my New EVO 4g LTE 2 weeks ago. I guess I have been enjoying it while all you slack jaws have been waiting.....if only I could remember it.
The estimated date for delivery in the email was 05/08/2012.
Maybe the wife took it.....curses!!!!!

The race is on.
Unfortunately our normal delivery isn't until around 10:30 EST. Hmmm, but I know where the UPS distro center is here. Maybe I could wear a brown shirt and look official.
I live out in the boonies and on a good day, UPS would get to my house around 6 PM. So those of you that get yours at 10 or 11 AM, enjoy and think of those that will be waiting until much later!

I was with a friend of mine and after calling ups they told him where the truck was so he could meet the driver and get his package since he was heading out of town for a few days.
Ups can be very nice if they are spoken to nicely.

Even if it takes a week or so to ship, would rather they take the money and stop me from spending it
Now i just gotta get their playstore to respond so i can get my details submitted.
I imagine this is simply them implementing a pre-order system as opposed to being able to deliver any stock. Works for me though. With my hours as a chef chances are every time it came into stock i'd be unable to grab one

Haha, I had auto refresh on to notify me when it came in stock while I was watching tv! Ordered mine and came here to tell everybody but appears other people already got the word out
16gb ordered! Had been after the 32gb originally but i don't play any intensive games, as such large games, i have a computer for that, i have my music on my phone on a 32gb sd card, and anything i desperately need that won't fit on the thing i can keep on an sd card with OTG cable This is mainly just a machine for at home and occasionally on the coach or in the tent etc, so seemed daft to spend an extra £70 for a measly increase in memory.
I will in UK 2more weeks. Do you think google will ship it sooner than 2weeks?
saw somewhere on the www the delivery time in the US is 3-5 business days...it'll be nice to have my hands on it sooner but it doesn't matter as long as i know mines on order.
I hope there are still some left in the morning when the guy who orders stuff at work gets my email.

The number of refreshes, and in the end having to use internet explorer intsead of chrome, just to place the order, let alone the 2-3 week shipping time, google are not filling me with hope, I really would have expected better from one of the bigger companies in the world.

Are people not able to order now?
My orders just changed from saying "Expected delivery 12 December" to "Pending". Not sure what this means.

I would also like to know what "Pending" means to those that have gone through the process. Thanks!
Update: I've been skimming through some of the posts from people that went through the order process. It looks like Pending is the next step before it ships. Hope its the same for us!

How do you check? I had a look on Google Wallet under transactions and it says nothing about 2-3 weeks, pending etc... The only thing i can see is
Delivery (Two Day): £9.99
Which i assume is the charge only.
Just ordered mine this morning and everything went through OK
I suspect the 2-3 weeks is just Google covering their backsides and expect some will be delivered earlier.

Curiously it say when ordering that the money will not be taken from my account untill the Nexus is ready to ship yet the money has gone from my account within minutes of ordering

I wouldn't risk it unless you can get somebody to forward it to you that you know.
Has google some helpdesk email where i can write to confirm if it is in stock?

i had the same thing, called them this morning and the adviser said that the money was only in the 'authorization' and wont be debited from the a/c till after it is shipped. but bottom line is that part of my credit limit is not available to me anymore so they might as well have taken it.

Sony Smart Watch 2 now available!

Decided to start a separate thread here dedicated to the Sony Smart Watch 2 as the other thread was getting mixed up with the SBH52.
Just read over at droid-life that the Sony Smart Watch 2 is now available for only ~$170usd from Mobile fun. Pretty good price considering earlier rumors were it was going to be ~$250+. I put in my order from Kogan for ~$175 but I think they were being dodgy and selling a pre-order without advertising it. Just got an email from Kogan today saying my order has been delayed for another 5 days . Thinking of cancelling and buy from Mobile Fun instead.

Anyone else thinking of getting one to go with their Z Ultra?
Some reviews (to be honest I knew I wanted one after watching the Sony promo videos without reading too much in the reviews - I just love the style!):

what deal on amazon was this which gave away free smartwatch?
Been using mine for about a week. I'm glad I didn't pay for it but as a freebie it's OK. Screen is quite poor quality (think late 90's colour screen phone). Emails don't display pictures & when viewing pictures through the slideshow app you only get a zoomed in view of the middle of the pic.
As I said. It's OK for free but I'd be annoyed if I paid £120-160 for it.

Not a super useful gadget...
Screen is disappointing indeed.
Battery is weaker than I would have thought, needs daily charge.
i like a smartwatch badly, sadly sony looks like bad option. i wish they would of stick with OLED instead of going with LCD ON A FREAKIN' watch
Screen choice was very smart imo, the "always on" nature of the time screen itself yet still with good battery life is great to have.
Yeah, you need to be able to actually see it outside, something AMOLED tends to have trouble with.
purchased the smartwatch 2 from mobilefun on tuesday and after "fraud" checks, i received an email on friday stating it was on backorder til the 23rd. this upset me as i paid for the expedited shipping, so i cancelled order and ordered it from newegg yesterday and it should be here on monday. lol
to sum it up, newegg > mobilefun.
Got mine from clove today. Decent not great. Biggest drawback is I cannot use it together with the sbh52

i'm still waiting for mine to be shipped by Kogan from HK. It better ship tomorrow as previously indicated else I'm not going to be happy! Can't wait to get it to play around with.
There's some more discussion over at the dedicated SmartWatch section here
I've also started up an accessory thread here as I managed to find some screen protectors and quite a few watch bands that would work on the SmartWatch 2.

My SW2 works fine together with the SBH52.
maybe there's a certain way you need to pair the devices or something?

I have to retract my statement, it started to work for me. i turned on the bluetooth on the sw2 and it was able to connect fine together with the sbh52. so all in all loving it

I was told it shipped , but it has not arrived yet ... I did just get an email
stating my SBH52 order is held up do to being sold out . This is upsetting
considering I pre-ordered it from there site & was given a ship date of OCT 2'nd
& now I'm being told I have to wait til the end of the month ...
