Hey XDA peoples,
I ordered a 16 GB N7 from the Google Play Store on the 13th. It was listed 2nd on the list of orders the last few days until just a few hours ago--- when it moved to the top and is now listed as the 19th. What does this mean? Do you think I will be getting it tomorrow?Orders through the 13th are considered pre-orders. ALSO: No shipping notifications whatsoever have been received at the associated Gmail Account
Thanks buddies.
List? Huh? Link?
Oops, thanked you by accident. Oh well
huh?

when you go to google play and to top right-> My Orders & Setting. then you have a list of most recent "orders".
I guess I can just wait and see but I thought maybe my order going from 2nd (and dated 13th) to 1st (and dated 19th) might mean something, since I am so anxious to get delivery. I could just be patient and wait.
lol
LOL I wouldn't read too much into that. That is just Google Play for ya... I don't think ANY of the 16GB units have shipped yet...

there are stickies for a reason people...
Amazon is having a Black Friday Deal Week and are offering some really good prices for a whole bunch of devices. I did an article where I picked out some of the best deals from each of the biggest US carriers (Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint). Check it out here: http://www.androidsfinest.org/amazon-black-friday-deals-week-best-deals/
You should also do a link to the deals, you can't really advertise something for yourself.
I believe I did, the post title is linked and at the end of the first paragraph theres is a link to all the deals. For each individual device i chose, the picture as well as the names are a link.
I think I misinterpreted your comment, here are the links for deals
If you want a general link to ALL the Black Friday Deals, click here: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Friday/...av-sitewide-msg&pf_rd_t=4201&tag=andrsfine-20

So while our fellow neighbors downstairs are spamming their "Out Of Stock" ordering page, we can't even get to the page itself
I'm still not seeing the device being available on the Canadian Play Store. I have emailed google (.ca) and asked them about when it will be available to pre-order, and this is the response i got:
Thank you for contacting Google. It’s great to hear you are interested in the Nexus 6. We are excited to offer this popular new product on our store! I’m happy to help!
The Nexus 6 should be available on Google Play sometime today! I don't have any additional information at this time. I recommend to keep checking Google Play for updates! As soon as there is more information Google Play will be the first to be updated.

I've heard reports from MobileSyrup saying a completely different story though... but I think they were referring more to the actual release date rather than the pre-ordering date.
Ah well, it's almost 11am PDT , which is the rumored time to pre-order (as it was for the Nexus 5).
*EDIT 10/06/2014
The Canadian URL has finally appear! "Coming soon"
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_6_64GB_Midnight_Blue?id=nexus_6_blue_64gb&hl=en
*EDIT 11/12/2014
According to MobileSyrup, the Nexus 6 should be available for pre-order by November 18th...another week to kill
Thanks for the info Mr. Shaded.
*EDIT 11/12/2014
Embargo has been lifted! Full device reviews are now available online!
PhoneArena / The Verge / Android Central / Engadget
Just to name a few
*EDIT 11/18/2014
Finally official pre-order date on the Canadian Google Play Store! Get your devices folks!
*EDIT 12/16/2014
Google starts shipping 32GB variants...still no word on 64GB Blue, is now officially late.
Hope thats true. I've been waiting for this thing for months now. I've had about all I can take with my N4. (1.5 Hours SOT on a good day...)
Just spam this page, I guess:
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_6_64GB_Midnight_Blue?id=nexus_6_blue_64gb
Although its pretty much confirmed that pre-order is in November for Canada:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2014/10/28/google-to-launch-canadian-nexus-6-pre-orders-in-early-november/
Soooooooo....... When? Any idea? Hint? Date and time?
First week on November is this week sooooo....

I think they meant the first week entirely in November (2nd-8th), seeing as it's not likely to release on a weekend. Google Canada's nexus page still just says coming soon. As much as I'm hoping for a Monday release, things aren't looking good.
If its going to be the coming week I would bet on Wednesday. Not a big deal though considering the lucky ones that were able to preorder in the states won't see the devices ship to later November. I doubt Canadians won't see the device until December. Might even see a carrier (I believe telus is the only one to confirm) release it before they land in .ca. Either way I'm still pumped for the device.
I haven't been using my credit card just because I'm waiting for this phone to come out!!

I've been trying to get ahold of Google, but so far I haven't gotten any reliable answers...starting to think even themselves don't know when they will release it for Canada
My next big bet would be this coming wednesday, because it seems like the following one (11/12/2014) is the shipping date for the US-based pre-orders from last week.
Telus and Rogers are both going to offer the Nexus 6, but neither has any idea on when.
Yea, I'm guessing Wednesday too... Base on the previous launch...
Can't remember for sure about the time... Was it around 2 EST?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
Really hoping Google can provide some details on this.
I was expecting Nexus 6 would have similar launches as Nexus 4 and 5. In anticipation, I sold my Nexus 5 and went back to the laggy Galaxy S 1.
Not sure how long I need to stay on it..

Based on the n5 it would be 2pm est
Lot's of US users reporting that Google has updated the page saying Stock comes every Wednesday, so seems like they will have stock tomorrow. Let's hope that some of that is allocated to Canada. That lines up with the Early November release. If not I think it will be the 12th
Based on this, I doubt we'll be seeing the Nexus 6 in Canada any time soon.
https://twitter.com/Motorola_CA/status/529660795228274688
Yes but this is from Motorola... Not from Google.
And there answer is more oriented toward regular customer who want to buy thing directly from a store...
I guess we'll see pretty soon!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Indeed... I'm starting to think we won't see it anytime soon
If the US is struggling that much to get the demand up and running, I don't think they'll see Canada as a priority in their list.
Might as well keep checking every wednesday, starting to lose the point of checking daily lol.
At this rate, it looks like Rogers and Telus might have it before Google Play Store!
I understand your struggle!
Right now I'm relying on mobile syrup who's known for having good information and they believe that it will be release this week so..... Like I said b4.... Will see soon enough!

Well I got the pushbullet notification that they're "available" again... Store page still says "Not available in your country". Starting to doubt that any Canadian is gonna see one before December at this point.

im starting to get nervous as verizon is still not listed on google play ordering page... thats extremely scary knowing how verizon works.... yes ive seen the videos where they got some of the demos devices working by inserting a verizon sim card, but that doesnt make me feel any better
It works on Verizon out of the box. It's already been confirmed.
ive talked to a couple different reps on Verizon. made it very clear to them if Verizon decides not to carry this device in stores (subsidized contract) i will not stay with Verizon any longer. i will move to tmobile. they told me they would be getting device and confirmed the nexus 6 will work on Verizon, but no specific dates. IM SO IRRITATED with how companies handle these matters... Google has announced the phone, WHY KEEP SECRETS!?

I think it might be more of a later release than not carry it at all, which still sucks
They are pushing the Droid turbo, I predict a two month delay for Verizon.

Still almost enough reason for me to leave verizon! lol
Two reasons they(verizon) could be delaying Nexus 6
1. Dont wanna hurt sales of droid turbo. (i believe this to be largest reason)
2. They wanna fiddle and add bloatware to the nexus

Agreed, they spent way too much money on those James franco turbo commercials to release 2 top tier phones so close to eachother.
Droid Turbo now, Note 4 Edge on the 14th......we will be lucky to see a VZW N6 announcement in November, more likely just before Xmas
Announcing it now would dilute sales of those other devices. They are a business. The other carriers have one less flagship phone to spread sales across because the Turbo was a VZW exclusive.
Why not buy from Motorola when they release it?
So is anyone on Verizon gonna risk and order it if they get lucky enough to catch it on the play store? My problem is they r keeping Verizon off of the play store for a reason and I can't understand why other then that version isn't gonna work after all. I want to order it but just wondering if anyone else is gonna risk it.
i talked to a verizon rep and asked if they are gonna even be making an announcement of late nov early dec something atleast!? he said as of now no information can be said or none is available, i told him thats fine i guess but i only got 1 month left on my contract and was gonna get phone outright anyway so i would jump from verizon to att if i just get my phone before hand. He said no need for that the phone will be on vzw soon lol .....but no damn date or even month ballpark

Has it been confirmed that Motorola will be selling it? Sure they have the device on their site but that doesn't mean you can buy it from them. They have droid phones listed on their site as well but when you try to buy you're directed to VZW sales page. I hope that when you try to buy from Motorola it doesn't direct you to the Google play store.
I would like to use my moto credit for the N6

I cant find anywhere that they will. I think because the turbo is a Verizon exclusive it takes you there. The rest of the phones that are multi carrier all can be bought on their site
Just got off the phone with Google
Just got off the phone with Google due to my nasty email sent to them. Some rep called me apologize for the crappy pre-order that took place last week blah blah blah... Anyway she stated that they were informed today that Google has received a much larger stock of phones and pre-orders will take place tomorrow and last longer than 5 minutes. She also confirmed that Verizon is supported when purchasing a nexus 6 google play edition.
Only their own moto phones can be purchased from them. X,G & E. Technically the Nexus 6 is Google's phone. Then again HTC sells the N9 on their site. I guess we'll just have to wait and see

I already got lucky and ordered from the play store. I'm not concerned one bit about it working on Verizon. It's been confirmed through Google reps, Verizon reps and those with a test unit. It'll be smooth sailing [emoji5]

I'm probably also going to go the moto credit route. At the bottom of the blog post it says:
"Nexus 6 will be available for pre-order through the Google Play Store in late October starting at $649. There are two colors to choose from - Midnight Blue or Cloud White - and two memory options - 32GB and 64GB. Nexus 6 will also be available on*motorola.com*and through carrier partners starting in November. You’ll hear from our carrier partners soon with additional pricing and availability information. In all, Nexus 6 will come to 28 countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific and North America starting later this year and as we head into Q1."
So, they had the ZTE USA webinar talking about the release.
In no particular order (and I'm sure I missed some points since I'm going from memory):
they listened to the beta testers and community chatter and added the capacitive buttons back into the US base model
this change is what delayed the release slightly
gold model will be released first (July 27th) followed by the quartz grey (Aug 16th/17th -- BestBuy and webinar disagreed on date) -- no plans for the silver one in the US
pre-orders are available now at ZTE (their website and eBay), Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, and B&H for $399
notification LED is present and RGB (he specifically remembered red and green being there)
they've heard the feedback on the bootloader unlocking and been in discussions with R&D about the best way to do it -- they said it's an "when" not an "if", but it won't be at launch because that would meant another delay
it will have Tap to Wake
they've been working on the imaging code constantly -- every update they've done has had changes for it
it is band compatible with Sprint and Verizon but will not work with them at launch -- if they can get it certified, it will probably only need an OTA to work with them
updates will be on a monthly schedule to line up with Google and to not over annoy users with frequent OTA updates (the only exception was for a critical security updates from Google)
they are planning the 6 GB/128 GB model to be released in the US at some point in the future, but they wouldn't commit to any time frame
they are working with Google on getting the phone DayDream certified
they are committed to an Android Nougat release as soon as possible but wouldn't comment on a date (he seemed to imply they were working with Google on this to get it out more quickly)
microSD slot was limited to 128 GB [although, I see no reason why it couldn't use higher than that, since most of the 32 GB limited ones work fine with larger capacity]
they will be posting the rest of the answers on the ZTE USA Community Forum over the next few days, including if the retail partners are included in the Passport 2.0 program [I'm not sure what distinction was being made here, since they had already said the full warranty would apply from any retailer]
Of course, this was from ZTE USA, so mention of the what the European model will get.
Only non-Axon related thing was asking about ZTE doing a Nexus with Google, and the gist of it was that even if they were planning something, he couldn't talk about it because Google likes to be secretive with the Nexus program.
Edit: Webinar posted now on Youtube -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyP4Wr8ApSo
Sounds like they are responding well to user input. Never really seen anything like it before.
I'm glad I pre-ordered today! With effort like this, I'm more than happy to show my support. (And it was nice hearing them say they'd love to make a Nexus.)
>it is band compatible with Sprint and Verizon but will not work with them at launch -- if they can get it certified, it will probably only need an OTA to work with them
I'm pressing ZTE to see if CDMA support (not specifically Verizon/Sprint support, since they aren't the only CDMA carriers) is at least turned on out of the box.

Having it disabled in the phone at launch will probably discourage people from trying something stupid before Verizon/Sprint "flip the switch" and is also probably to ensure that those companies look upon ZTE as favourably as possible and don't delay too long.
Who else provides CDMA over there? do those others have their own networks or do they rely on Verizon/Sprint towers, the latter would to my mind mean that they are still bound by the wishes of Verizon/Sprint.
Anyone have one of their elusive $50 discount codes for the Axon 7? I would like to preorder one, but the California tax is killing me.

Curious, but what stupidity are they trying to discourage? The OP3 has CDMA enabled for Verizon, people are able to make calls/data fine, Verizon doesn't seem to care (I doubt they'll ever officially support it), and people don't seem to be breaking their phones to connect to Verizon (just pop in the SIM and go). The later part does make sense though.
Other CDMA carriers include US Cellular (5th biggest, right below Sprint), and smaller regional providers. They all run their own CDMA networks. A pretty comprehensive list is available on Wikipedia, look for the ones with Voice Technology CDMA2000, Data Technology EV-DO (and LTE): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_wireless_communications_service_providers
EDIT: I gave a listen to the Webinar that was posted on Youtube. It looks like the hardware is in place, but CDMA is disabled in the software for all carriers until Verizon/Sprint give support. Bummer.

Yeah, it's actually fairly unusual -- they actually changed the model design based on early feedback. It seems like they are really trying to grow the brand in the US, and want a popular flagship to go with it. Since they've only really made mid- to low-end phones before, makes sense they would want to keep people happy to build the buzz.
I wish they'd had a better answer on the bootloader, but as long as they follow through, that's fine. I'd rather have them listen and deliver it late and have it never happen.

I think there was already quite a bit of negative feedback on the Chinese forums about the lack of capacitive buttons on the lesser model (if I was reading the badly translated stuff from Bing translator correctly) before things really got going outside China so it may be more of a general willingness to listen than trying to grow a specific market.
They've posted the webinar on Youtube now -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyP4Wr8ApSo

It is not about "if" but about "when".
"Never" is also about "when".
About the 6gb+128GB version for going international.
I wonder how much will this cost and when it will come to market.

Well ****. Hopefully this is not the case for the European model. Otherwise all hope is pointed at the Nexus. But the Nexus won't have front firing speakers... However I rather have software buttons than front firing speakers.
While I'm not a huge fan of capacitive buttons for the most part, I'd prefer them to having on-screen buttons burned in due to the weaknesses of current OLED technology.
Gee it's great that they are listening to us and it's also great that the 128GB/6GB version will be released outside of China.

Most likely is, just like how 64GB+ cards can work in phones that state that they only support up to 32GB if you format it correctly.
