The time has come... my nexus 6 gave up... it's not wanting to register the press from the power button any more... as hard and as much as I press the button, it doesn't work... double tap to wake isn't working anymore. It's lived a good life this was my favorite phone and my gateway drug to being a flashaholic. But goodbye all on Shamu thread, now I am temporarily using the phone of the devil (iPhone) because it was an extra phone we had at the house... but my next phone will be the OnePlus 3T:good: so I will see you there! (Hopefully Soon)
Rock on. See you out There.
I never thought I'd still be using my Nexus 6 that I got on RELEASE DAY.
As long as nothing crazy happens I'm going to hold out, but I'm pretty sure this is the last phone season that I sit out.
This has been an amazing phone.
Are you going to sale you're nexus 6? The reason im asking is because I have a nexus 6 got it it first came out and is the only phone that I will use. I would like to have you're nexus 6 if the price us right to us for parts.

I don't mind selling it to you. I just need to figure how to wipe it since I can't get the screen on at the moment. Just an FYI, the glass is cracked...

The screen is no issue. What does the housing and mid frame look like. If you can pm me I'll give ya my email. If the price is right and I like what I see I will probably buy it.

Broken screen? Since the nexus 6 has an oled not a lcd panel :S So what do you mean with dying off?

wow I feel you mate, I love this phone and it'll kill me to say goodbye to it so I totally get you. I'm sure it'll be missed. R.I.P
My N6 still alive and working like a beast apart from terrible battery life and massive lag on camera I'm on the hunt for a phone and 3T is probably going to be my choice. let us know how the transition goes.
all the best
I'm saying goodbye to my nexus as well. In maybe a week and a half my Zuk Z2 will be arriving. This nexus was amazing though. I will definitely miss the hardware. And the countless amount of ROMs available for the thing. She's still working fine though

I found a brand new one on Craigslist for 300 bucks, will be picking it up tomorrow, I think I'll be keeping the Nexus S as well, unless the Nexus One just blows my mind somehow lol..
I don't think it will no true multi touch
I've never actually used a Nexus One, but am I the only one who think it's ugly as sin? I'd be turned off to it simply by aesthetics.
I've always loved the way the Nexus One looks!

I was enamored of the N1's appearance when it first came out, but not so much any more. The NS is much "sexier" in my opinion.
Why do you want an N1 now? It's over a year old in design, and has some serious hardware flaws in my opinion. The display and especially the touchscreen and capacitive buttons are all problematic in one way or another (can't see screen outdoors, can't do multitouch accurately, capacitive menu buttons misaligned.) The camera also puts a nice pink blur on every pic you take.
If you can get past those hardware flaws, it's not a bad phone otherwise. The sound quality is good on calls and the 3G speeds are really good. There's also a ton of software support with custom roms and mods and other hacks.
Surprised you could actually find one "new" this late in the game.

Hey guys,
Got my wifi xoom a couple of days back from Best Buy and noticed that the rubber part is level on the left but protrudes out very slightly in the right and levels up again. The tab works fine though. Should I return it and get a new one or is it fine? I think its just the new gadget paranoia
Doesn't affect functionality then don't return it. Who knows its probably new gadget paranoia
I have that too on my 3G version. It works perfect so I am not worried. Some early pics I seen on the net looked like they had the same. I was worried for a day or two myself.

So...I've had my Nexus S 4G for 2 weeks now, and I have to say, the first few days I was having trouble justifying the off contract price of the phone, especially when my Epic was perfectly fine.....
Fast forward to the first week, I was really liking how well it fit in my pocket, not to mention the battery life stock, and the GPS lock in seconds...awesome.
I also decided to root and try CM7, and I've been running it for a week so far, and I'll say it's changed my mind, and I'm definitely keeping this phone now!
And the ONLY thing I missed from my epic was the camera button, and today fooling around with my Nexus, I found that in CM7 you can assign the volume buttons to take pictures, EFFIN AWESOME!
So, I'm in love!
That is all,
Chris
cm7 opens the phone up so much more. its awesome

So did the Sprint employees look at you funny when you bought it off contract for full retail?
I've always wondered what they think when enthusiasts come in and lay down half a grand on a phone... It's an expensive hobby.
I also came from the Epic... it's hard to tell they have the same hardware inside.
I don't see myself ever buying a non nexus device again..(here is hoping Sprint continues to play a role in the Nexus devices!!) Android is at it's best when it's running as Google intended. Not to mention the updates and development..
Anyways. Welcome glad you like it.

I have bought 3 phones off contract now and it is expensive hobbie but then again smoking is expensive too ( I used to smoke a pack a day/ the was like 150$ at month ) so I don't regret it

The sprint stores always seemed surprised. Best buy and the T-Mobile stores never blinked an eye. I've purchased 6 phones at full retail and only got an odd response once (from a Sprint employee).
Having gone from the Nexus One to this phone (and I'll buy the next Nexus phone as well) I hope it comes to Sprint. Otherwise I'll have to jump carriers again.

For the first time ever has some one actually came up to me and said "is that the new Nexus?" I was at the gym last night and some dude on the other side of the place spotted it. ( it's big) Anyways this never happened before using the N5 so it was pretty cool to actually talk to someone and let my geek out explaining all the cool things I can do with the Nexus phones.

The only phones I've had that got attention were the OG Droid(got it launch day, tons of people commented on it the first few weeks), and the Note 2 and 3 for their size. I am expecting the size of the Nexus 6 to get some attention.

Its gotten worse with me using it and it getting warm. It didn't do this when I first took it out of the box. I've had it out of the box for about 2 hours and now the sound gets longer and longer. Like more areas of the screen are coming undone.

Kind of true and kind of false. Some of these stores are 3rd party retailers. They have their own inventory and at times have their own promotions. For example the one near my house smells and looks like T-Mobile, but it's owned and operated by a different company.

OK so I had to call like 3-4 times in order to get them to ship me a new one before I send mine back. But it'll be here on Monday. I will say that the screen scratches really easily... I only put it in an empty pocket once and only for like 2 minutes! It's got two fine scratches on the screen already. To all of y'all who plan on going without a screen protector, good luck!

I've heard this from more than one source, it seems like the GG5 is less prone to breaks, but more prone to scratches. On a hardness scale I seen it got scratched at 3 and the S7 edge was like a 7 or 8. Mine is sitting in the box til I get my Xtremeguard and either The Spigen I paid for, or the promos Rinke sent me to review.
