Getting a new replacement device - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm thinking I might need an RMA for throttling and Bluetooth issues. I've spoken to Google once and they were going to try to send a refurbished device. I decided to keep mine. How can we get a new replacement device. If there is a hardware issue at no fault to the user we should not get stuck with a refurb.

Why would you get a replacement for throttling issues? It's an issue with the Snapdragon 810, not your specific device unfortunately.

If you keep up with the forums apparently tons of people say there aren't any throttling issues.

I have kept up with it and with the Snapdragon 810 in general. Under heavy load like gaming, it will start throttling. It's pretty widely known at this point.

I wouldn't make a big deal about getting a refurbished device. I returned my original one due to crappy battery, and the refurb I got was pristine. If Google sent it in an original box, I would have no idea it's a refurb. So far, it's been working just fine.

What types of games are you talking about. I play a lot of racing games and fps games on my phone and I haven't had any throttling issues. Can you be a little more specific.

Not all games slow down when the 6P throttle but a good example is Tap Titans, if you play around 5mins of it you will see that the big cluster will turn off and the game will run around 40ish frames.

[Q] When will the N4 go back on sale at the play store?

Here's Nate Swanner speculating that it might be as early as Friday, while the google plus nexus page says weeks. Any thoughts, precedents?
I assume Weeks for the majority of countries.
Friday would be nice. I see it more possible for the US/CA to get stock by Friday, but then again this is all speculation anyway.
After two months. They will have to fix the issues with first batch. And from what im readong there are many issues

That comment is just silly...the rattle is normal, all other "issues" that have been written about can be fixed with a simple update...which will happen.

I called Google 15min ago and got a about a week, give or take.
I read some rumors that LG reduced it's allocation to Google therefore making them pull out of done markets. Not to mention the rapid sell out.
This is further backed with Tmo selling the N4 for 500 of contract. Given this, it may be likely that LG isn't prioritizing Google since they are likely being payed less, but who knows.
All this in mind, stock may be in and out for a while even though demand may never really reach super high levels the S3 and iPhone see.

[Q] Should I buy New Nexus 7 right now or wait for another set of fresh models?

Hey guys,please help me out.Since the 2013 Nexus 7 is having a lot of issues and could be solved with updates,should I still buy it or wait for fresh set of models that come with problems-free in another a couple of months?I know warranty is there and everything but still I am scared.

As someone who just returned his 3rd with dead pixels, my only recommendation is to buy from a place that you know will let you return it.
It seems to be a random **** shoot, I see all these people reporting they have units that are good, and then there's me and the others in the dead pixel thread.
An update has already been released to fix the multitouch and GPS issue.

Like you said most issues are fixable by update which are rolling out now but depends on your preference. I was thinking the same thing but waited a month. The current hardware which is what I have rev. E, seem to be issues free. Have spoke to others both 16gb and 32gb who are so far issue free under this rev so it really just depends where you buy it if they're still on the initial stock or if they've gotten new batches. I bought mine off amazon, through amazon them selves, meaning no separate sellers on amazon and got lucky with no issues but as said under rev. E, now I'm not totally sure how true that is that's what was explained to me by someone else while we are waiting for the current update, so I guess your best bet is to talk to someone who is experiencing these issues souch as multi-touch, random reboot and GPS issues. See what rev the initial stock was. Other wise like you mention you can just wait a month or so which most issues should be ironed out by then but seems as if they're getting a good handle on that so should have to wait too long if you choose to do so.

I got you on that,haha.Normally refurbished models come problem-free,right?I am considering waiting for it,then.What do you think?Bcz its a question of importing one.
The thing about 'lots of issue' reports is that folks are bound to announce when they are upset, but majority or folks enjoying the products is keep enjoying it instead of complaining. So, it may seem like there are a lot of issues, but it actually isn't widespread in any way.
I got one and loved it, but I returned it. I didn't any issues. I returned it because I want the LTE version instead. So, if you want to hold out, do it if you want the LTE version (just $80 more than the 32GB wifi version), not if you're waffling about quality issues. But if you are concerned, by it from a brick & mortar store so you have a return window.

Reboot into bootloader shutdown the hold vol down+ power, the hardware rev will be toward the bottom. As I said not sure how true that is haven't checked into this my self but would be good to know.
Don't listen to people to tell you to ignore complaints. There is a 30-something page thread about dead pixels going on since launch for a reason, and another about build quality that is huge as well.
The multitouch and GPS problems have been addresses in a (timely) update.
However, if you or your friend care about dead pixels or dust under your screen, it is something that people are indeed experiencing (again - i opened a july mfg unit yesterday and it had 2 dead pixels - my 3rd nexus with dead pixels).
I think the real question here is: If your friend opened one up in India with a dead pixel, some light bleed, some dust under screen, or any other blemish, would he be able to deal with it?

You are absolutely right.If its software issues like GPS and Multi-touch,it could be solved over updates but dead pixels and light bleeding can get him helpless.So its better to wait for refurbished models?If so will they come a bit late?
But are these common issues with every phone in this intensity?

Yes forgot about the dead pixel issue, that is true but not as all have it, its pretty much rolling the dice to see if your lucky enough to get one issue free, at least at the moment. So maybe to wait would be best or even a return but the return hasn't always proven true for me. I came from the Asus transformer which was riddled with ghost touch issues, went through 3 of them just couldn't get around it whether it was a return or not.

G2 issues, any solutions/suggestions?

I am really thinking of selling this thing. I put it up at Craigslist just to see what kind of bites I get on it. I'm just having a hard time with some stuff:
Proximity sensor is weird, at times the screen doesn't turn on when I put the phone down when calling someone, and other times when calling someone and I put it up to my ear the phone seems to go to sleep and the call is disconnected. Sometimes when the phone doesn't turn on again the knock on sensor doesn't work and I have to use the power button.
Knock on doesn't work half the time. I've tried every variation of fast, slow, and keeping my finger in the middle. Sometimes it works beautifully , others times it takes 4 or 5 tries.
Random battery drain, seems it's that CIQ GPS issue, but it just randomly pops up and if the phone is in my pocket drains half of it in an hour or 2.
Rear buttons are getting annoying. They are sensitive, if it's in my pocket and I'm listening to music even a light tap of my pocket and the volume is affected. I can't really get used to them.
Speaker is TERRIBLE. I did the audio hack on here and raised it to 68, I also tried the Viper4android app, neither of them made much difference. Even if they did, it's still mono so doesn't make for a great emergency boombox. I can be in a quiet room and it's bordering on useless.
Even with CleanROM installed I still get occasional lag, it's only minor, but it just bums me out with such powerful hardware.
The rest of my complaints are with Android and things that are just not polished or ready for prime time, but that should be another subject.
Pluses:
The screen is insane, and it's VERY easy to read in sunlight.
The battery life (when not bugged) is pretty insane as well.
Android is cool to tinker with.
Who else is on the fence?
Err no

Sure you just didnt get a monday-version of the phone?
I mean.. I have had a BLAST with the G2 so far.
I wouldnt sell it if I got the double for what I paid.
Well.. I would.. and I would buy another one !
But on my G2 I have no issues whatsoever. Not rooted or anything yet though.
O.P, you have a defect.
My phone definitely doesn't act like that. I'd try exchanging first before selling it altogether
Why did you wait till after the return window was closed? I'm afraid Craigslist would only net you some low ballers.
I'm not sure which carrier version you have but if it's a Verizon version expect nothing but low ball offers.

OP is alone on this one. So far it's been the best phone I've owned. The screen and battery kill all.
I tend to wonder if people start threads like this in the forum of the phone they are selling just to get attention. Just sell it and move away quietly. No one really cares.

Seriously, taking the time to lecture me about what I should post is just as bad as me starting a discussion. It's a forum after all.

I haven't sold my phone. I will probably send it in to LG to see what they think, I just was hesitant to do that in case they can't replicate the problems. I didn't feel like waiting a month just to have them send it back and say it's fine. Seems they are intermittent. Most of the time the phone functions well, other than a slight lag. The proximity sensor issues are fairly occasional, but I haven't had the phone in a while. The knock on sensor is about 1/3 the time, but anecdotally I've read lots of other users having the same issue so that may be a universal problem with maybe a batch of them. The battery drain issue is also a well known bug with CIQ which some experience.

Poll - Battery overheating - Are you sending your tablet back?

Are you guys sending your tablets back to be replaced for the battery issue?
Voted yes because I have filed RMA for the battery issue. However it seems jury is still out as to whether Nvidia will require actual return of the old tablet. Poll could be reworded to capture this distinction. May vary by geography, too..
Marc
im sure people will figure out a way to make sure both tablets can be used
Well since the tablet has the potential to catch fire then it would be illegal to mail the tablet since you cant mail "flammables" right? lol
Yes new tab for 0€ of course
Envoyé de mon Nexus 5 en utilisant Tapatalk
Yes, but I was conflicted about it. On one hand, I don't ever want my tablet to start on fire. But on the other, I've had FAR fewer issues with my tablet (i.e. zero) than I've heard of other people having, so I'm concerned that I'm sending in a flawless tablet and may receive in exchange a tablet that could end up with cracked corners and that becomes laggy, etc. Best case, my usage of the tablet is the reason I've had no issues with it, but I just don't know... I do use the hell out of it, so I'd have expected that if use was the cause, my tablet would've been laggy and heat up as much as anybody else's.
I'm RMAing, but I'm mixed on it. I bought it a week before the announcement and considered just returning it for a tablet with WiFi that actually works properly, but the features that I want the WiFi for others can't do as well anyway so I'll get the new one and hope the smart people around here figure out how to block the kill switch between now and then so I have 2. I am annoyed about the fact that they must have known before the announcement since they implemented the changes in ota 3.1 for the rma process and battery check, which would have taken time to plan, considering my unit was one week out of the store, one would think they would have pulled the flammable stock off the shelves and replaced with newer units.

Indeed recalled battery are prohibited by most courier, air freight and import, export are not possible under worldwide regulation even for recycling. So freight will be fairly expensive for those return if they elect to get them back.
Using ground local freight it could be possible but I am not sure about this.

Yes it will be considered useless but there is talk about some people wanting to install a custom rom and/or tricking it into not erasing itself and keep using it. I would like to keep mine for spare parts,I'll take out and recycle the battery and keep the device for spare parts like LCD screen and such.
country not listed
does anyone has made the recall process from a country that is not listed at the registration recall program???
thanks in advance

The way I see it is that now that Nvidia has presented us with an RMA option on these tablets, if you choose to continue to use it after getting the new one and it catches fire and burns down your house, you may be in limbo over your insurance payout.... "knowingly continuing to use a faulty product that has been recalled"...
I dunno, the moment my new ones turn up, if there is no requirement to return, the 2 I have will be dumped in a bucket of salt water to neutalise the battery, and binned :good:

I think he is right. If they are so fair. I don 't wan't to be fault if someone dies
I wanna keep it or give it to a friend or my dad since I can't sell it.
Its not fair nor legal to sell an affected tablet that can always catch fire or kills itself when restoring the factory image or possible after an OTA update.
Conflicted on whether or not I want to send mine back. One on hand, free tablet! But on the other. Nvidia didn't have to do this, they could of simply told us to RMA them, send them in, wait for repair and wait for them to send the tablet back. I haven't had any problems with the battery overheating or anything.

Conflicted on whether or not I want to send mine back. One on hand, free tablet! But on the other.

I'll be interested to know if there is a way around Nvidia's method of rendering the tablet useless..
Time will tell.
Has anyone received their replacement yet?

Got my replacement today. As others have noted the old one has not been killed. I flashed bliss pop just in case it may help but I turned it off and placed it in a box. Have not decided if I plan on keeping it or not. May, if it does not get killed, use it as a dedicated kodi box for my bed room

Got mine today. But as others have done. I wiped the device and installed SlimLP on the "RMA" device. I'll leave the other stock(rooted) for now and see what happens. But at the moment, as reported here, on reddit, on the nvidia forums and etc. The old devices arent locked yet. Maybe they are giving people more time to move data from one to the other? Who knows.
I'm in Australia and got the RMA approved email 2nd August, but have yet to receive any notification that my replacements have shipped .
Waiting on WIFI and LTE versions to arrive... I'll switch them off when I get the replacements and wait for a solution... I just hope they don't take too long issuing replacements to international buyers
I would guess that they would not issue the kill notice on these until all of the faulty units have been replaced...

Nexus 6P Is throttling an issue?

About to buy a 6P assuming I dislike the Pixel phones that are announced tomorrow. My concern is that the 6P has a lot of throttling issues it seems. I use my phone for social networking and youtube and internet browsing. I do not play games! Has anyone with similar usage experienced any throttling or over heating? I don't want to buy the phone just to have issues!
Nexus 6p only has throttling when you play very hard games. It will be not a issue

I've also seen that it needs restarting a lot? If you own a 6P, do you have fairly consistent performance without restarting the phone?
Lol rarely i restart my nexus 6p and allways have good performance

Have you got anything to compare it to? I really want a 6P, but don't want to risk lag or stuttering performance!! My OnePlus 3 stuttered on the keyboard and ui and my iPhone 7 was just a pain (boring and it hissed)
Also, how is the wifi performance? My current 5s is awful in the new house I've moved to. I basically need a reliable all-rounder

So, you didn't get enough opinions about the 6p in your other 'longevity of the 6p' thread? How about sticking to one thread where you ask all the questions you want? Plus on performance and experience you will get a wide variety of opinions, so maybe you have enough info now to buy a phone? It's customizable, there are regular software updates, a good dev community and no throttling problems for normal use. We good now?

I'd apologise for trying to get as much information as possible before I spend my money, but that'd be ridiculous...

You're missing the point. You should be apologizing for littering the forums with more than one thread about effectively the same thing. Littering the forums with very similar questions is actually frowned up because it makes it hard for users to find things THEY need to help THEM.
And, you even said you had this phone before, so it's not like you're starting fresh.

If I have a question, I'll go ahead and ask it, thanks.

And I'll question the way you do it, thanks. But, it's obviously all about you so, carry on.
