I am in the market for a new phone and would like to know if I should get a nexus 6p. I like to do custom roms and experiment with roms and stuff recently had the lg g3 but that was a nightmare for custom roms.
I am hearing that the Pixel phone will not be rootable but what phone is out of the box.
I have some bestbuy gift cards and they have the 6p i was going to get the 64gb version but I am torn between waiting for the pixel release to see if its worth it or just get the 6P any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
I have sprint and it works great for me so that is just more info I even looked at the axeon but its not supported by sprint.
You could wait only another week October 4... Here's some interesting posts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/upgrade-to-2016-nexus-marlin-t3417724
Either way you should wait. As soon as the new Pixel phones are released the 6P will drop in price, both online and on the street.
I don't care what people say this galxy s7 suxs tried to take a video and phone locked up. Can't wait to get a nexus phone
I Would wait for a while until the pixel phones get released.
Any opinions on this now that the pixel xl has debut
No Pixel overpriced and outdated toys for me. Not in the same league as the Nexus6 & 6p or the upcoming Mate9, V20, Asus 3 Deluxe, etc.!
I got a 64gb 6P not long after launch. I dropped my phone a few times so Im gonna wait until the Pixel gets released and get the 128gb 6P....Pixel is overpriced smh
Well i guess google is also trying to get rid op the 6P... i just ordered the 6p 32gb variant, I also have the LG G3 D855 and i was loving al the custom roms still love the speed of the G3 on custom roms, its still fast enough... but after 2 years i want something new and the OP3 i have to pay 400 euros and now i pay monthly and the screen is too small of the OP3. Axon is still not in my country and also i have to pay around the 400. I will pick it up tomorrow morning

I went from the LG G3 to the Nexus 6P a couple of months ago and I do not regret it. I also have had a Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 5 and I really missed the pure Android experience. Congrats on your purchase, you won't be disappointed.

Sprint activation
OMG got my nexus 6p 128gb and sprint says its not compatible with there system I went to a store no luck went to another store and they tried to help but said it was giving them an error like PLBL. I looked it up and it means its not on there system got a ticket setup to fix it friday still nothing.
I called again today and got another ticket setup even got the ticket number.
Any help getting this activated would be great full please let me know
Holy ****
It took forever but finally got my phone activated on Sprint had to keep calling and finally got somebody that knew what they where doing.
I ended up getting the 128 gb of ebay for cheap.
Trying to install CM 14.1 on it now
Tried CM13 but it got stuck at White google screen.

buy it, it is the best phone there is (for me at least it is).
before i bought my 6p i already knew about the pixel, that it was coming out and well i didnt wait to buy that one because it has (no stereo front facing speakers/somewhat smaller screen, and looked way inferior design wise compared to the sexy 6p).
i have bought the silver 6p and boy is it seksey , i am very happy with it, there are alot of custom roms and kernels to play around with whenever you want to.
and a good handful of mods, and we are getting nougat.
i would recommend it, superb phone.

How cheap?
I think about $480
Just sold mine for $400 I loved the dev support but not a big fan of the phone itself.
Mine will be going on Swappa as soon as I can order a black 128GB Pixel XL.
The 6P is a really good phone but after using my wife's Pixel XL I have now been spoiled by the overall smoothness.

New AND old.
I'm coming back after leaving for 6p.
I gave away my old n6, but at this price, I'm definitely coming back and returning the 6p.
Aaaaaaand I picked up one also.
At this price it is awesome as insurance in case I brick/drop/loose mine.
I just picked up a 64gb for $259 on amazon because I bought my 32gb a couple weeks ago for $350.

Just picked a 64 up. Been an HTC supporter for years, but curious to try Nexus. I'll play with it and really can't lose. If I hate it, I'll return it to Amazon, and if I love it, I can sell my M9 for more than I paid for the Nexus.
I really wanted the 6P for awhile, but quality issues according to the xda forum, and not trusting Huawei yet kept me from taking the plunge.
I have never had a pure Android phone, although I've run AOSP and Cyanogen Roms on my various HTC devices. I'm scared I'm going to want to keep both...D'oh!

Going to be a lot of pissed off people that bought one very recently. It kind of sucks when this happens for people that paid full price, but that is life! Although, if you can still return it... I'm not going to lie, if in the past 30 days I paid $399 for a 64gb Nexus 6, I would order another RIGHT NOW and then return my original for refund. Yup, I'm that guy. That's $150... If it was $50 or less I wouldn't waste my time but $150 and a shiny new, dust free speakers. Hell yeah.
I can't complain, I bought a 32GB blue 2 months ago for $300, then when I sent it in to Motorola I got them to send me a 64GB White instead. (Long story)
Just ordered a 64 gb white for 259.
They are selling out fast! As of right now, only 64gb Blue is in stock for the sale by Amazon.
All gone.
I picked a 64gb up in midnight blue. Can't wait as this is my first Nexus phone.
Must be sold out for now. Kind of pissed I am paying $20/mo to project fi for mine, and still owe $400.

How come you're returning the 6p, if you don't mind me asking.
The 64GB version is still around 550-600 USD in the EU on Amazon
Just bought a one month old blue 64GB model for 360 USD, sick and tired of the Huawei EMUI on the Mate 7 though the batterylife was awesome.

I have the 6P, returning it as I got in on this deal and managed to score a few for friends and family.
For me, my Nexus 6P cost just under $900 cdn for the 128 gb model. Switching to the Nexus 6 64 gb, my phone is now only about $340 cdn funds so that is my main reasoning for the switch. Looking forward to getting mine!

Evening,
I've pre-ordered the Pixel 128gb in Quite Black (the blue wasn't available--waaah!) and an XL to test which is best for me. Estimated delivery 24-26th Oct.
How about you?
i preordered the 32gb in black, Oct 24, 2016 – Oct 26
i think i read somewhere blue is exclusive to the US
up on CPW with £50 play voucher and shipping by 20th! Damn you El goog
https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/google/pixel.html#!colour=silver&capacity=32GB&dealType=pm
Contracts are a bit steep!
Way way too expensive for me. :crying:
Looks like it will be the one plus 3 for me.
I'm still on my M7 which I bought for £480 when it was new.
So yeaaaah I was not prepared for these prices.
I'd probably pay £550 for a 128GB, 5" Pixel. But that's a full £150 less than what it currently is. I can't justify that, no way.
Guess I'll wait.

M7 here too. Really had my hopes up when rumours of an HTC Nexus started. Now the Pixel is here I can't justify the cost. There's nothing extraordinary and the real killer for me is the software update support hasn't been changed from the Nexus.
I pre ordered the Pixel 32gb then cancelled the order when my sanity kicked back in. I'm just going to keep my Nexus 6P for another year. I can live without google assistant and the pixel launcher. That being said I am really excited to see what google does with the pixel brand.
I ordered the Pixel 128GB in black from CPW - tried to order on the Google Store, but it broke (clicked to confirm purchase and it just looked at me like a demented labrador). Same price as a ludicrously expensive iPhone 7, but I wanted a 'pure android' phone with the latest updates, enough storage and wanted it to fit comfortably in my pocket - so either pay silly money or compromise on one of my three requirements.
Website initially indicated delivery date of October 20th, but showed October 21st when I ordered. Presumably at these prices there won't be the long waiting lists that there were for the 6P and the 5.
I was very disappointed to see that the pricing is inline with the Apple iPhone 7. Weird, as previous Google phones (Nexus) were priced considerably much lower. I wonder where the spike in price has come from? Google trying to be as greedy as Apple?

This is XDA, I am sure your 6P will be able to get the Pixel Launcher and or Assistant. If you root it, in time you'll probably get the same Pixel experience on your 6P.
So So disappointed with the pixel phones and their prices, what was Google thinking?
Mine's on order from CPW. Delivery for 20th October. It was expensive but I figured if I didn't order it, every day I would waste time thinking about ordering it. I was like this with the Moto Z; ordered it, and then sent it back.
Thinking now though...would the Moto Z be a better phone in the end...hmmmm
I may have accidentally ordered one (Black 128GB) direct from the Google Store as I'm thinking the customer services will be better based on past experience if I get any problems.
I was torn between the Pixel and Pixel XL. Given I have a 6P the XL would have been the natural choice, however I don't think I can justify the extra cost (hard enough to justify as it is). Plenty of time to cancel/change my mind though
Same here @Azarin. 128gb in black.
The XL price was just a stretch too far, plus, I only have small hands
Ordered from Google, IMO the customer support is better than CPW. I have sent things back to google in the past without issue.
Soon I will be retiring my Honor 5x (which was a standby phone after my MotoX Style broke, and they couldn't repair it...long story..)
I've been hanging on to my HTC One M8 waiting on the new phones to be announced. The price is quite steep but is compounded by the raw deal for UK purchases.
The Pixel is 650 USD in the US which is just under 510GBP. In the US you get the DayDream Viewer chucked in as a sweetener - but not in the UK. If you want to buy that (once available) its an additional 69 GBP
So, UK price for the pack is 668GBP v 510 GBP for the same in the US......which seems to be completely taking the p!ss - 30% dearer...
I'm wondering if I should sensibly look at something else - Oneplus 3??

Op3 tempting but bigger than I really want.
I've pre-ordered on EE with an early upgrade, only a few days early.
Will this phone have loads of **** installed from EE or will this be just a google phone?
I hate it when carriers put their **** on it!
I'm really tempted to get this phone after being somewhat underwhelmed by Pixel XL. Is MiFavor decent at all, does it have any theming options? Can you use Substratum on it? I really hope for CM13 and all of the other custom Roms on top of course but is it all or nothing in your guys opinions? Cheers

I had the Axon 7 like 2 months ago then sold it and got a Oneplus 3, and have the Galaxy s7 edge as a backup. So then sold the Oneplus 3 it was a beautiful phone, but it was a second hand so had some scratches on the screen and it was bothering. So anyway went back to the GS7 Edge and that phone is I have it already 5 months still cant get used to the edges, they are very uncomfortable no matter in which case i use with it. So decided that in my opinion the Axon 7 was the best. With its ergonomics speed and everything.
It has the best speakers, headphone sound, software its smooth also no bugs that bother me. Mostly its stock Android with little added features. Money doesn't matter for me if i want i can get any phone. Didn't like the Pixels thats Google becoming Apple making a walled garden soon. Im running stock no root or anything the Axon 7 is like Htc M8 perfected . This should have been instead of HTC 10 . Stupid HTC. The camera is very good beautiful sharp pictures compared to Gs7edge which makes the pictures face like painting. And is better the Oneplus 3 in my opinion. Anyway sorry for the long story, but its the best phone for me now. Buy and enjoy.

axon got best audio quality but louder headphone output got us version. htc 10 dosen't have this problem and got better camera. pixel - waste money but if you don't care about audio and camera and need latest software update - go in
Nexues was supposed to get the latest updates. That's bull****. Look at all the Nexuses 6p, 5x and all before it all good phones but not the latest updates. So Google is not even providing updates of its phones and we blame the other manufacturers.

I'm also very interested in this phone, so i just bought it from Amazon...
But one thing is very weird, yesterday the phone cost 500 euros, today it cost only 248 euros (grey version only, the dark version cost 484 euros).
So i ordered it, but i was just wondering is it normal that the prices are like roller-coster ?? It's an import from Germany, i live in France. I just hope that it's not a scam...
Where did you guys who live in Europe bought it ?
I bought it from amazon. de for 449 â?¬. I think you can't get it for 250 it must be a scam or you are looking at axon mini. I live in Slovenia and the phone is top noch. Yuo should buy it from official amazon. de and not resellers...

What're did you get it for €250. Not possible i don't think. I bought mine from amazon uk and was advertised as the 6gb 128gb model so jumped at it paid £470 around €530 i think it was at the time . Got Sent the 4gb 64gb version and seller says he never advertised the 6gb version. Why would i buy the same phone for more money from him? ****!! €449 on amazon.de and .fr and all deliver quickly.
Lucky i had screenshot to send to amazon of the actual phone i ordered. Some dodgy sellers on there as well.

Well I took the plunge into the 3T after owning a Z3+ for two years. Was thinking of the normal 3 but my inner geek wanted the latest. Who here is also on the bandwagon? And all this development nonsense about not supporting is just stupid in my opinion, many people who never got the OP3 and have upgraded from much older devices including developers from other places will at some point.
I decided to go for the 3T and ordered this morning. Have been using the S6 Edge plus but feel it is limited because there aren't any real roms for it. Only roms are all dated not a big deal for me to use so waiting to get my new 3T next week.

Going to be a big upgrade from my Z3+ in which I was disappointed from day one but thought updates would sort battery and heat.
I ordered some cool cases and a full screen protector. They also do the neo hybrid case that I'll get too. There some of the best cases, have a look over at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/accessories/compatible-one-plus-3-t3501030/page1
Also ordered last night, waiting for it to ship like it's Christmas morning. Still using my LG V10, but I find the phone too large and heavy. I know the OP3T is similar sized, but still a bit smaller and much lighter. Aside from no SD card support, I'm hoping I can last 2-3 years on it if not more.
I ordered one last night at 1203pdt and got the ship notice about 30 mins ago. So hopefully will be herd this week if not early next week
Edit.
Mines expected to be herd by end of day thursday. Wooo

I don't think most people get 128GB just because they need the space, but because it doesn't have sd slot, so if 64GB isn't enough later on then you are screw.

If I hit that point, a nice format will clean things up :laugh:
I ordered mine! Should be getting it next Tuesday. I have the G5 from T-Mobile now and it just never got any development. And the camera loses all functionality when you start using the ROMs that are finally coming out for it.
I was thinking a pixel xl 128 but it's never in stock and too expensive. I'm just hoping they release a Android N beta in a week or two...But not a big deal if they don't....and release the camera libs so devs can make sure the stock camera works like it's suppose to.
I'm excited. I'm guessing it will only take a couple of months..maybe just weeks for the dev community to start coming with gas....unlike my G5 that took a billion years.
I put an order for the 128, my only real regret is the expected date says November 29. I think they sold out because if you look on the order page it says ships in 4 weeks. But now I'm worried if my order order changes from Nov 29 to Dec 29.
Selling my Galaxy S7 Edge on Swappa on the 21st paid for $453 of the $479 price tag. So I see it as just $25 for the upgrade. I call it an upgrade because I wasn't happy with the speed of the Exynos S7 I had, and that slippery glass back was something you'd always have to worry about and if you touch it even after washing your hands it just gets ugly.
Mine is shipped and got the shipping number.
I ordered at 12:02am and received a shipment notification at 7:16pm. Got to love DHL Express. I am in California.

I was going to, but decided against it. More expensive than OP and you cant buy sim free. I'll wait and order on Monday. Just trying to work out if it is worth the extra £30 for the 128gb. I never use it, so I might just go for the 64gb.

Thats interesting, I never thought about going into a store. The website was only showing pay for device in full and then adding a pay as you go sim on top. It is still more expensive that OP from what I have read, if it was the same price I would have done the pre-order.
£18 more expensive but if something happened to the mobile later down the line at least i could go instore .

That is a very good point! Making me re-consider now!
My local best buy seems to never have anything in the phone world unless it costs $500 plus even when the website says so. I rather have the G5S Plus but will take a G5 Plus 32GB. Moto says it's sold out of the gray g5s plus. So what stores would you suggest I go look at locally? I'm in a city of 200K so we have the usual stores here. Seems like retailers rather get you inside a store rather than say they are out of stock. My current phone has a fully busted screen so I much rather have a new device asap tomorrow morning. Phone will be used on Metro pcs / T-Mobile network
Thanks in advance

My local best buy seems to never have anything in the phone world unless it costs $500 plus even when the website says so. I rather have the G5S Plus but will take a G5 Plus 32GB. Moto says it's sold out of the gray g5s plus. So what stores would you suggest I go look at locally? I'm in a city of 200K so we have the usual stores here. Seems like retailers rather get you inside a store rather than say they are out of stock. My current phone has a fully busted screen so I much rather have a new device asap tomorrow morning. Phone will be used on Metro pcs / T-Mobile network
Thanks in advance

Not sure where you live, but I live in a rural state and am over 400 miles from any city over 500k or so, and the only place I have found this device is at BestBuy... Almost every BestBuy store stocks it around here, even in Bismarck, ND, they have 13 phones under $200.
I have never had much luck at Target or Walmart for phones, all they carry around here is branded pre-paid devices.
If you live in a bigger city, you have some more options... B&H Photo, MicroCenter, or Fry's Electronics may carry this or something else like it in store.
If you absolutely need it tomorrow, might need to do some digging on Best Buy... Some other options would be Axon 7 Mini (my son has had this phone a year or so, it is extremely under-rated device, nicer than my G5 Plus in most regards for $100 less), Blu R1 Plus (there is a BB exclusive model, almost every store carries it), Asus ZenFone 3 Max, or ZTE Blade V8 Pro. Just about every BestBuy I have seen in the 8 states I travel to frequently stock at least a dozen unlocked >$300 phones, but you often have to dig for them as they aren't always out in the open. I deal with Best Buy a lot, it isn't uncommon in some areas to have to show the person working there the app and say "you have this somewhere and I would like to buy it now, can you find it for me?" and they usually come up with it in some back room stock or something.
Otherwise, as much as I hate to say it, but overnight shipping from Amazon might be worth it.
I was going to start a new thread but the subject thread still applies...
In 2019 does anyone know where to find a 4GB/64GB XT1687? Motorola no longer sells it, Amazon only has their Amazon Prime with locked down bootloader. Third parties aren't forthcoming about what they're offering.
I live in California and purchased one from a fellow Californian but once I got it it turned out to be the Amazon version. Bah! Anyone know of any sellers selling the regular Motorola version.
I like playing with older ROMs. My daily driver since 2014 has been a LG G3. I run and multiboot between KitKat through Oreo ROMs. Fun stuff but I've been through three of those. They fail for one reason or another.
I have other devices but they're either Oreo+ or just too much trouble when going from one Android version to another. Potter has/had googobs of development so there's always something to play with. Granted, Nougat+ I believe but that's cool.
If anyone knows of any reliable sellers for the phone I'd appreciate any pointers.

I saw a few on ebay the other day. That's where I'd get mine from if I wanted another today.
Don't buy them all though so I can have one when my current one dies! :laugh:

LOL. Okay, I'll try to control myself.
Thanks, I haven't been on eBay in a long time. Will take a look. N1wireless has the phone but I suspect it's Amazon so sent a mail to their sales group. A week later and they haven't responded. Not a good sign.

Need to look very close at phones listed on eBay. I bought a ""New-In-Box!" phone a few weeks ago that was not new at all. Of course the same thing with Amazon, lot of people have complained about getting refurbishes (or worse) phones when the listing said "new". If you find something you like on eBay or Amazon, contact the seller before you buy! And/or at least read some of the seller reviews., especially looking for any negative ones.
About a month ago I got super-lucky and found a definitely-new 64gb G5 Plus on Swappa, for $160. Yeah like I said, super-lucky.

. . . has been known to have the exact phone I was looking for at a competitive price, online ordering.
But if you're not looking for new, I would recommend checking Swappa first. Right this minute they have two "Mint" G5 Pluses listed, and a "Good" phone with 64gb. I've bought several phones on Swappa and every one has been what it was advertised to be. They screen sellers and their ads pretty well, and even run a phone's IMEI before approving a listing.
Just a little update. I haven't purchased one yet. B&H Photo has none. Swappa has only one Consumer Cellular phone.
N1Wireless finally got back to me. They said all of theirs are regular Motorola phones, not Amazon Prime models. They still have the 4/64 models, open box, both Gold and Lunar Gray.
Understandably, pickins are gettin' slim for older phones.

Umm... The regular Moto 4/64 version is the one you want. You don't want a carrier variant or the Amazon one. Color-wise, throw it in a case and be good to go regardless.
At this point the device is two years old though... Why not look at a new Nokia or (if budget allows) Pixel 3a device. One thing we are seeing with later Moto devices is they are really designed to die at 2 years, things start failing quickly especially the battery which is a bugger to replace.
Oh, of course on the first points. Was just mentioning what was out there.
The only reason I was looking at the potter is because I like to play (usually multiboot) with older ROMs, which I prefer. Potter had a grip of goodies to play with.
My main phone has been the LG G3 where I multiboot between KitKat thru Oreo ROMs. Fun stuff. Daily/primary was a fave LP used since 2015. After screen was failing on the third one I started looking at the G5 Plus.
I have other phones (ZTE Axon 7, Moto G5s Plus, Essential PH-1, and little ole Galaxy Light) so not in actual need. I'm sure this fourth G3 will fail in some way shortly, hence the hunt.
Not interested in new phones, or new Androids to be exact. I have no interest in Pie and barely tolerate Oreo. Though I almost got a OnePlus 6T but the IRS snatched up my refund (can't get away from old school loans I guess. LOL).
