Safe way of getting a 6P outside of the US ? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
Okay, so I've been using the Galaxy S2 for god knows how long and I really need to move on.. and also the fact that its battery is dying for the third time... that helped me to take the decision to go with the 6P.
There's just a major problem, I'm neither from US nor Europe... and I don't wanna pay 200$ or 300$ extra just to get it.. because the only reason i'm buying it is it has a great value in its current price..
I have seen a few nice forwarding sites, like fishisfast and usgobuy and they do look promising... I can buy from the Google Store and ship to my country and that would only cost me about 50 bucks more.. which is great...
My only concern is defective units... I've seen so many complaints on the forums here about defective units starting from the slight pink screen to speakers and the list goes on... and I'm afraid that If I receive a defective unit i won't be able to get a replacement...
is there's any safe way of getting the 6P without compromising warranty or paying like 200 extra bucks

I'm not sure about your situation but wanted to tell you if you reply to your own post with the word bump it will get moved to the top and people will see it. You don't have to keep starting threads. Just a friendly FYI.

Yea, I was totally gonna do that... I'm just afraid to get a defective unit somehow...
If that happens, I don't think you can return it, right ?

Okay, I'm going with a forwarding service.. which one is better to order from, Huawei or the Google Store ?

From a returns standpoint I'd easily prefer the Google Store. However, I'm not sure how that applies (or doesn't) to your current situation & questions.

Ugh, I'm sick of this, I've always wanted to buy a Nexus.. Starting from the Nexus 4, to the 5 and then 6P... and I never did.. Why google makes them that damn hard to get anywhere else on the world !!
I think I'm gonna wait till Amazon start selling them officially.. That's probably gonna be the best in returns standpoint..
_____
Okay, No Nexus for me then... I am buying the HTC M8.. It does have a pretty active dev community.... Definitely not as good as the 6P.. But it's currently for half its price...

I'm Going To Rectify A Mistake Tomorrow

I got The HTC One and contacted EE to cancel the contract and take the phone back as I changed my mind.
With the phonebeside me in its box, I've just had to have a play with it and now I'm gutted to be sending it back.
It's absolutely stunning, I've never seen or held such a wonderful device.
I'm wondering now as I've been sent a returns bag etc, charge it up and hope EE will let me keep it or send it back and get another one.
So... why are you sending it back?
Um yeah.... Some more details perhaps?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
I got the phone but then decided my iPhone 5 would do and i'd send it back. So I cancelled the contract and they've sent me a returns bag.
Inquisitive a while ago, I just decided tol have a play around with it and now wish I hadn't cancelled.
Was wondering if I contacted them could I uncancel or simply send it back and start again.
and your point is?

Just phone EE again say you changed your mind, you decided to stay with them, they would be more than happy to let you stay. I don't see why there would be any problem. Very likely they would let you keep the phone then just start a new contract, cos technically only until you returned the phone your contract is fully stopped, they may be able to reverse it at this stage.

Haha, this is hilarious. Go on to xda to ask whether you can change your mind about cancelling a contract (or not) with EE?
Call me old fashioned, but I would be asking EE, not XDA. Maybe that's just too much common sense.

No he started a thread saying he ordered the ONE and then before getting it he changed his mind thinking he would be ok with the iphone 5 so he calls in and has them cancel the new contract and send him a return kit. He then gets the ONE and being a phone junkie like all of us on XDA he HAS to play with and realizes that he loves the ONE and does not want to use his iphone 5 anymore but as he said he already called in to cancel so what does he do??? Which has been answered so next time you wish to bash someone or talk crap maybe sharpen up on your reading comprehension skills.
Don't really think OP is trying to be a troll or anything.. i think he/she is just confused and didn't know how awesome of a phone it was till he/she used it..
Which is what you suppose to do with any new phone, you read up on it, find features you like, buy it, get used to it.. decided should you keep it..
Not order a phone, decide to return it.. then want to use it and realize its a great phone

Before that ends in flamewars out of misunderstandings, I close this now. All is discussed I think.

One more update then - LAWYER UP!! Class Action....

I am willing to pursue a class action lawsuit on behalf of all of us who were sold defective Nexus 7 (2013) tablet's and have useless touchscreens.
I am giving them one more chance with an update to repair the problem and then I'm taking it to my company's lawyer.
I have sent it in once, they told me they "re-calibrated the screen and digitizer"......no improvement.
Still having sticky keys, phantom touches, long presses.....It is absolutely a useless tablet as I can't type like I normally can.
If you would like to pursue litigation, please join me.
GOOGLE, YOU HAVE ONE MORE CHANCE!! MAKE THIS RIGHT OR WE WILL END UP IN COURT - GUARANTEED.
Its no worse then what we saw (actually far better) with the Xoom timing out touch events after 15 seconds.
Don't get me wrong... It is certainly annoying... I'm just not certain that it meets the criteria for the type of litigation you are suggesting.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Has Google refused to remedy your problem, either with a new tablet or an update? It's not as if the entire product line is defective - far from it. As with anything that's manufactured, there will be some items that fall below standard. I doubt you have the right to sue over this. I understand you're pissed but a CAL isn't going to happen.
Let us know what your lawyer says. I'd be surprised if you found one willing to take the case.

....Are you guys really willing to be robbed from and then let them get away with??
As a business owner myself, I know how I would handle it if I wished to preserve my reputation.
We'll see, but having to resort to an older tablet to send emails is unacceptable.
I may simply demand a refund and go buy a Samsung......
If nobody else wants to get onboard....
I can't understand why you wouldn't but I'll get my money back and move on....

If the entire product line was defective and Google refused to remedy the situation, then a CAL could be justified. Have you exhausted all avenues of approach yet? Demanded a refund? A new tablet? Those are your best options at the moment. I personally don't have a problem with my N7.

Google's return policy is 15 days after the date of delivery, You missed out on the chance of getting a replacement or a refund.
Your best shot now is contact ASUS again and demand they pay for the shipping for a defective item, try to demand talking to a manager might help.
Am sure if we get Andy Dufresne involved he will fix it for us for a few cold beers each on the rooftop of asus factory for the defected units

+1 Someone say his Nexus isn't working properly and that is willing to take action, then the thread suddenly floods with people with "perfect" Nexus, and saying it's not a big deal.
If you don't have any problem with your Nexus, hooray! good for you, a lot of us do have problems.
PS: I was the owner of a Note 8, 0 problems, I though, well I had the Nexus 7(2012) and it worked fine, plus is pure android. So I jumped to this Nexus for the screen and pure android... now I'm starting to regret it, just know my keyboard started with the ghost touches, is incredibly annoying...
Let me say something. This guy is right we are getting the shaft. I been building computers and a tech for 20 yrs. I have had every top of the line tablet out there. I still love my IPAD 4.
I have bought 7 Nexus 7 2013 from 3 different places and the seventh still is messed up. Now you are going to say that is normal. Bullcrap.
Out of all of the top of the line tablets I have I never had to take them back and replace them. Once would be fine but 7 and still not working is not freakin right.
I have had the Asus TF101, Asus TF300, Asus TF700, Samsung GALAXY Tab 1, Galaxy tab 8.0, Toshiba Thrive, Toshiba Excite, HP touch pad and more never had a screen problem like this. I have a I7 3700K overclocked on air at 4.7ghz evo 212 cpu fan.
You should never have to replace more than 2 times to get something right, I would have to say that their product line is 85% bad on the Nexus 7 2013.

Things to do with a near useless OnePlus One?

What would you guys suggest one could do? My OPO lies on my desk collecting dust petty much. It has a faulty touchscreen and not even the latest touchscreen "firmware" remedies this.
Because of that annoying touch issue, I picked up another phone two weeks ago, a Galaxy S5.
I had in mind to just throw it into a brick wall but seeing as I don't like wasting money, that's not really an idea. Though it would be highly satisfying. I can't really sell it like this, can I? OP does not seem to respond to emails.

Use it as a display for car backup camera I do that Hehe.
Use it to control Robots that you build with Arduino/Raspberry Pi.
Use it as a TV remote (Oh, I think you said you dont have a TV).
Use it as a smart home controller.
Use it to play music when you open your refrigerator.
Use it as a spare Google Voice phone
Use it as a Health Tracker, Bike / Car GPS (with offline navigation), car handsfree etc
HUD for your car
use it to control a qudracopter that has GoPro attached and take close up photos of flying birds
Can anyone think of anything more unique or interesting? I'm also interested in this!

It may be more than it's worth... unless 'principal' is the most high for you.
If you don't get a response from OnePlus folks, walk over to small claims at your local court house and file a small claim against the company. You'll win.. its a PITA, but sometime when the principal (law Law on your side) is worth it... do it.
It sometimes help mold a companies responsiveness and ethics for the better.

Send it to DorimanX. He made a fantastic kernel for the LG G2. Will benefit the whole OnePlus community.

What would you guys suggest one could do? My OPO lies on my desk collecting dust petty much. It has a faulty touchscreen and not even the latest touchscreen "firmware" remedies this.
Because of that annoying touch issue, I picked up another phone two weeks ago, a Galaxy S5.
I had in mind to just throw it into a brick wall but seeing as I don't like wasting money, that's not really an idea. Though it would be highly satisfying. I can't really sell it like this, can I? OP does not seem to respond to emails.

Request a refund via paypal. Explain that you have tried to make contact but have heard nothng. I think it must be hardware as mine is spot on. The only thing I can find wrong with mine is dim capacitive buttons. U from the UK?

Paypal know this, and if you let them know you do you'll get a refund.

Tmobile credit

So I just got off the phone with tmobile today regarding my bill. I had 2 note 7 and returned one during the first recall and tmobile did something that ended up having my account in the negatives saying my bill was -320. Anyway today I called up because I I couldn't pay last month's bill because my account was showing negative and then this month's bill finally posted showing 2 months bill combined.
Long story short, I called saying I wasn't happy with this and they credited 150 off my bill right away. Not sure if this would work for anyone else who had the same situation but worth a try. Something off is better than nothing.

Mine was -700 last month then when it updated now is -400. They assured me my latest Bill due Nov 1 was already paid from the negative balance credit. We will see. There are some accommodation credits and adjustments listed

Thanks for the info. I got 110 off my credit. Which helps because I lost my job.

Sorry to hear man, hope you find something soon, I know how it is when something like this happens, everything seems so distant and impossible.

Guys hey thanks for the support. Was not expecting it. Dreamz said it perfectly, every does seem rather distant but I know things will work out, they have to. To make matters worse I hurt my lower back severely. But like everything in life, whether its the whole fiasco of the Note 7 or something much more serious, life has a way of bouncing back. I tell myself that I am going through some character building time. haha.

Have you thought about wo4king from home? Its not ideal, but if you have a decent PC and decent international, as well as some knowledge of networking. You could get a job at Support.com. They are constantly hiring. The work sucks, but it pays the bills.

I had originally thought of doing Uber or Lyft while I try and fix the whole unemployment benefit mess but I wasn't expecting to hurt my back. I don't know too much about it, I am a computer tech and I was in networking marketing for a while. Never made any real money lol but there is opportunities that's for sure
