I'm wanting to upgrade to the nexus 6p 128gb but am not sure if I should wait? What do you guys think? Are there any bugs or anything I should wait to get sorted out before purchasing? I'm on Verizon so I should just be able to put my sim card right in right? I have a Galaxy note 3 right now but the lack of ROMs and developer support is horrible. Can't wait for Cyanogen Mod and all that good stuff with the nexus 6p but I'm not sure if I should wait. Also are there any cases like the otter box defender with a built in screen protector that I can order for it?

If you didnt get it day 1 I would probably wait to let the dust settle down. I say this because I remember buy the Nexus 5 day 1 and I remember later couple months Google made some minor tweaks to the design. I just got spigen case (they released it last week) and its pretty awesome. For screen I am using skinomi and thts the only screen protector I found in amazon that doesn't block the sensor.

I wouldn't wait. You need to experience this. It is the smoothest phone I have ever used. And I've had every "flagship" there ever was.(iphones included) The Note 5 is atrocious in fluidity next to this thing. You can pop a sim card in it and go on Verizon. ( though I've seen some complaints of mms problems) As far as custom roms go, I would learn to use gravity box if you don't know now. Im not sure of the status of xposed on 6.0. Stock with your own tweaks blows CM away I think. I bought an i-blason holster case for mine which I'm actually VERY impressed with. It doesn't have a built in protector. It was only 12 bucks though!! This phone is just too big to go into a pocket.
^^^ this phone is great so far and activating it on Verizon was no problem at all

I came from a note 3. The 6P blows it out of the water, you won't believe how crazy smooth the 6P is. Love love it. Dooooo eeetttt.
Thread like this one never make sense to me... Do 5 minutes search on the forum and get a general idea then decide.
Just want to make sure there isn't anything that needs to be fixed by Google before I make my purchase. Also how has battery life been for everyone?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Here are my thoughts on the phone: On the plus side, this phone is awesome. The best one Google has ever made, that coupled with the Guaranteed updates from Google, will keep phone alive and current for couple of years to come. Battery life is awesome, as well as the Camera, & the phone in general feels buttery smooth. No lags whatsoever. On the down side - There are people with gyroscope issues, Sound issues, & screen hue issues. I guess I am lucky, in those regards. I did not run into any of those issues. Also, do not expect a lot of accessories on this phone yet. lot of third party vendors are still in trial and error mode.
I am on verizon as well, I had to get me a Nano sim & then call Verizon to get the IMEI & SIM number added to the account to Activate the phone, while you are at it also ask them to add the advanced calling on to your account so that you can make calls and use internet at the same time.
At the end of the day, its your choice. But, if I were you. I would definitely buy it again.
I used to run cyanogen also. Now I'm running chroma and it is great so far. I think you should jump and get the phone. I love it.
Also I am verizon and I just put the sim card in and everything is fine.

Thanks for this tip. I chated with Verizon and had them add advanced calling to my line and now internet works while on the phone.
The 6p might just be my favorite phone ever.

You won't regret it. It is an incredible phone. Best phone of this year and the best Nexus to date. Once you go nexus, you will wonder why you didn't do so sooner. It is buttery smooth, fast updates for features and security fixes. Superb camera, ESPECIALLY if you love selfies. The FFC on this phone is as good as some last gen phones' rear camera.
Battery life is very good, considering I'm coming from the notorious Z3. Luckily, I haven't had any screen hue issues or audio problems but my compass doesn't work despite navigation working fine. If you spend too much time on the forums, you'll get OCD and paranoid/insecure about the phone and start ACTIVELY LOOKING for defects or imperfections. I've had my 'look' over it and used it a week now. No complaints here at all. I'm bloomin' impressed!
In the odd case that yours is defective, Google's got a very forgiving returns policy or refund.

This is what I'm worried about compass issues and screen issues. Stuff like that if I wait it out do you think they'll fix it? Are these things software or hardware issues? I guess what I'm saying is if I get this phone and something is screwy a software update should fix the compass issues and screen and audio stuttering?

Who knows, Huawei might revise the phone and iron out the kinks (like has happened with past devices) or they may stick with their current manufacturing processes and say the devices are with specification limits. In general, early electronic devices always have minor problems which manufacturer's sort out in later revisions.

Yeah that's what I think I'm going to do. I'll wait till Google gets all the kinks worked out. I've got a developer edition note 3 as my daily driver right now but there's only one ROM available (seriously). So I'm on stock modified Jasmine ROM v6.1 with everything uninstalled besides Google apps and such. I just miss Cyanogen Mod and the themes and everything. I honestly only want the Nexus 6p for Cyanogen Mod but it will be a while till that's out for this device. I'll buy the Nexus 6p, unlock bootloader, install twrp, flash Cyanogen Mod and be done with it (then I'll just have to periodically update to the newest version)

I'm on the same boat, have to RMA my phone but don't really want to receive a defective replacement. Do you know how long do I have to RMA my phone after receiving it?
*camera/video quality (considering it has no ois)
*build quality, holding up or breaking?
*battery life on a day to day usage
Any other issues that anybody encountered?
Was considering on the 6p or z5 but I'm not liking the fact that on the Sony phones when it get to a certain temp it won't let you operate the camera,it'll either shut down on you while using it or won't let you open the camera app. So now I'm thinking of getting the nexus 6p.
Would like to know some pros and cons on what everyone has on this phone. Thanks

It was a honest question. Hope you get answers you are looking for.
So far for me, the only thing I don't like is not being able to tweak the way Ambient display works. It's only on or off. But I'm nitpicking here and it isn't really even a con, and certainly not a hardware thing.
Otherwise, I've been loving it! I don't believe you'd regret your decision if you choose the 6P.
---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------
*Additional notes:
- For video: I have taken a few videos with my 6P, and they haven't been jittery and look smooth for a phone camera.
- For battery: I don't know what you classify my daily usage as, but so far, starting with a full charge in the morning, I have not had to charge my phone before bed even once. Most of the time, I have around 50% left when getting ready for bed. If it's more heavy usage, it'll be lower, but still not close to dying. It's a fwiw kind of thing.
- Build quality: No issues here for me so far, although I am using a case. Someone who rolls with a naked 6P could probably give you more pertinent information on that.

You really have nothing to lose. Why don't you just buy it and give it a try? If you don't like it, return it. I think my advise is the best. You can get everyone's response but in the end...your feelings about the phone will determine if you keep it or not.

This is very true. The things one person likes/dislikes about a phone, you may feel differently about. I gave some of my impressions above, but you'll ultimately have to get some hands-on time with it to know for sure.
Yep, buy it, try it, then make your own decision...
Thank you guys for the feedback. I will be purchasing the phone

Cool! Welcome aboard.
If there is one thing, I really change on the phone is the buttons placement for power and volume. Other than that, this is a solid phone. Yes it does have its own fare share of issues, but most of them will/can be fixed with a software update from google.
I have edited the title now that it has gone to a full recall. As I get more information, if any, I will post it here.

Yep, just posted about this (accidentally) in the Q&A forum. It will sure be interesting to see how all this shakes out. I don't want to give up this phone, though... What a financial disaster for Samsung, but they can probably stomach it.

Damn...this will really suck. I'm pretty sure the turnaround time to get a new Note 7 will be bad. I use my spen a lot and I created a bunch of notes with he new Samsung Notes app which isn't backwards compatible with any of the other note phones.
Even if I backup to the cloud, what other device can I use to view Samsung Notes?

That is not normal. My note 7 is perfectly cool (battery temperature below 90 F) while charging overnight.
All of the major news outlets are picking up on the recall: http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/02/technology/samsung-galaxy-note-7-recall/
Has anyone asked or heard anything from Sprint? I'm guessing we won't hear anything until all of the details are worked out. I've kept an eye on my phone and no overheating thus far...
According to a different article that I read as of yesterday (9/1) 35 devices out of the 2.5 million or so sold have experienced the issue. Percentage wise it's a very small risk. Just be careful and don't use cheap aftermarket chargers... (I know, I know, several were reported to use the Samsung charger).
Personally I wonder if it's a scaling problem (i.e. battery size) with their fast charge technology... This is the largest battery they are fast charging as far as I know. (I did NO research to verify any of this).

I've wondered the same thing. It's amazing (and nice) how fast these batteries charge, but I'd be okay if it was 25% to 50% slower. That would still be pretty quick.
Even better yet, use a battery that can handle the current fast charge rate.
My phone charges cool also but i don't wanna worry about future issues, the phone is fairly new

Wow..
I called the Sprint store I got my phone from and they said don't bring it in because Samsung is replacing the phone directly. It sounds like the carriers are not going to take responsibility for any issues.
SMH
I love this phone. But how will samsung give us new phones? I called my local sprint store and they said don't bring it in? Are we supposed to be without a phone for some weeks or more? It is crazy, to think most of us just got this phone a few weeks ago.
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on their Google Nexus 6P? What they think of the device in general, any issues, etc. I currently have a LGG3 phone on the sprint network. Have had this phone a couple years and I'm looking to upgrade to the Google Nexus 6P or the next generation Marlin. I have always rooted my devices and installed custom roms. Are these devices easy to root and install roms and is the development support good for these devices? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Hi, there's some interesting information in this thread:

Thanks. I like the lg g3 but been having signal issues where all of a sudden get no signal and then have to reboot to get signal back, possible radio issue. I have a extended battery in it that i love. I am itching to get a new phone but am disgusted with the carrier's/manufacturers lack of initative in updating the OS. I figured a Google phone would remedy that issue. So, if you were me, would you wait and get the Marlin/pixel or get the 6p when the price drops. I would like to get a state of the art phone one that can run vr just in case i become interested in it but from what i read in this thread, the Marlin may not be better than the 6p? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

If you want a brand new phone I would check the Google store or possibly Amazon. Swappa would be a good place to look for a good used one. They occasionally have new phones, but most of what they sell is used.
I'm hoping for at least $150-200 off from the Google store, but that's probably dreaming...

Both have been reported by others as well. I am switching to PixelXL as soon as possible because of these problems. Honestly I think people give the 6p a pass. Who knows why. I am hoping the next release (Nexus/Pixel) will be full flagship quality and not 85% flagship quality.
To each their own.

It's really irritating and as of right now, I am waiting for my OnePlus One to return so I can use that phone and get a replacement phone (even though it's possible the replacement phone is gonna have the same problem) for this phone. Any temporary fixes besides turning off and on the screen?

Charge ur Phone with a Standard Charger (i personally use a power bank ) and Also Using Battery Saver Outside Limits this Issue for me
Permanent Fix is Going To SC and Getting ur Display Callibarated

This is completely wrong, calibrating your display does nothing as the display (frame?) is storing extra charge from the TurboCharger, resulting in "ghost touches".
Ghost touches shouldn't be an issue with this phone, and if they are, you should definitely take it to Motorola for a replacement.

I would return the Moto G4 for good.. the OnePlus One is a much faster phone, not to mention it has a better development community. Hell, it has a better battery as well.
Save the cash, and purchase a better phone- the OnePlus 3T and Axon 7 would be very good upgrades to the OnePlus One.

And yes **screen callibration** was the term coined by the service center guys. i visited the service center myself.
I believe returning the phone is a 30-day contract otherwise you can't return it passed 30 days, right? I already had it for a few months and this ghost touch started happening for a month. I asked to return it but they said that since I have a warranty on the phone, the only option is to get a replacement phone. I love phones suggestions so it's okay if you do bring them up. Once I RMA my phone and get a replacement phone, I am probably just going to sell it and get a better phone than the OnePlus One and use the OnePlus One as my backup phone just in case there are any issues with the new phone. Anyways, I appreciate all of your suggestions and thank you for all your help.

I have an athene m8. I'm simply stating the facts. The OPO is simply a better phone- more ram, better cpu/gpu/battery, etc.

I never really experienced any problems with the OPO. I dropped the OPO on my school messenger bag once face flat and like the bottom portion was not responding to my touches all of a sudden. Only issue I had and I already sent it in for repairs. I plan on buying the OnePlus 3 or 3t as soon as I get this phone rma, replaced, and sold.
Flashing a custom rom could solve the ghost touching? Do you know?

I got you. Indeed you are right. But you need to understand that your post deviates from the question posted and, as you can see now, led into a different discussion that does not even belong to Moto G Plus forums.
