Where is the White Nexus 6 From Google Play

So it seems that there are issues with the white nexus 6 shipping. I ordered my cloud white 64gb nexus 6 on 10/29. I was disappointed to find it wouldn't ship until 11/21 but I waited and yesterday was the day I should have received shipping info. By later afternoon I contacted google play support and was told that it wouldn't be shipping that day and might ship the next day. I'm now reading from others that theirs are not shipping, so if you could post success or failure in your shipment of any white nexus and post storage size we can find out how big a problem this is. I'll update a count on the OP.

Right but I was trying to create something more specific here. Not a general shipping thread.

Gearbest discount for Redmi Note 2 Prime [178.99USD]

To those on the verge of purchasing,
Just got an email showing the Redmi Note 2 Prime (32GB) being on sale for the next few days.
Oddly enough, the black version is $10 cheaper than the white one: http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_229218.html?vip=56770
I've been waiting for a special offer to pop up before I bite the bullet and buy it, this may very well be it!
P.S. Not sure what the policy is on referrals, but I like to be direct, so using that link will only help me get a discount on the phone itself, it doesn't seem to award any commission.

But also remember, you will never know if what you are ordering is in stock or not. Until nothing arrives at your address. Be warned before using Gearbest.com

Gearbest is so shady and I will never use them again, I'd recommend staying far away.
I ordered a Chuwi Vi10 64GB w/ keyboard case on 9/11/15; I had to do the "sketchy" ID verification also, but they took my order and my money.
I received a broken keyboard on 10/2/15 , and over 30 days later, still no tablet.
Now the replacement keyboard is out of stock.
They suggest I find an alternative keyboard to replace it (for a custom keyboard/case made for the tablet, WTF!).
I've re-ordered the tablet & keyboard from banggood.com, got my fingers crossed.
P.S. Techtablets has other user reviews for Gearbest, they pretty much suck!!!

I also suggest to stay away from gearbest.... I cancelled my order because it appeared as "processing" for too many days.
They answered my tickets with delay and always with generic apologies but never gave me a real dispatch date. As I heard there are many people waiting for their redmi note 2 I assume they just don't have enough pieces in stock (despite they show all the phones as available).
I still have another order made on 09/27 yet "processing".
I didn't cancel it only because those are 20$ of accessories for my xiaomi yi and in this case I don't care to wait too long, but still this tells me how efficient they aren't with their business.

I'm still waiting for my redmi note 2 from gearbest.com I ordered on 30th September. How long after cancellation did you receive refund? As of now they don't seem to want to answer my ticket!
Sent from my Moto G 2014 using Tapatalk

08OCT I asked to cancel the order and be refunded
09OCT They replied asking me if I would prefer to be refunded or get a GB credit
09OCT I say I want the amount to be refunded into my Paypal account
12OCT They confirmed the order was cancelled and refund processed (they said to wait 3-5 working days)
12OCT Got notification from Paypal about refund
12OCT Refund available into my paypal account

Before coming to the forums and reading this, I ordered one from this site (though it was before the sale). So far it has been smooth, as yesterday it shipped. Hoping now that there's a phone somewhere in that package...

I've ordered a Redmi Note 2 16 GB from Gearbest. Took them about a week to dispatch my phone and another week to get it(used a faster cargo choice).
The only issue i have with the phone is bloatware which everyone seems to be having but other than that the phone is stable and fast.

Just buy the TDD version to get a discount

Geekbuying has it on sale too, only for 10 days

Geek buying
I just ordered the 32 gig version from geek buying hopefully their better than gear best! Does anybody know if it works on T-Mobile/Metro PCS?

Thumbs up experience with everbuying.net for me.

The problem with gearbest and many other sites that never have real stock and needs the money from the orders to buy the phones. In some cases the phones are out of stock from the manufacturer and they have to wait. I made the order for the prime the 19st of september and ships the 4th of october.

Selling nexus 6p

I will be selling my 32gb nexus 6p with its original charger and a Spigen case. How much should I sell it for? I'm trying to get a 64gb model or a 128gb. Any ideas?

I will buy it any pics and whats the condition?

I have exactly the same question. I have one in this black color with 64GB and is only one month old (bought it in May but Google sent me a new one last month because of heat problems). Additonally I have the original Google Nexus 6P case and a brand new Nillkin Nature case.
What's a fair price?

Let me know when you come up with a price I'm interested.

Why don't you check Swappa to see how much they're selling for and set your prices accordingly. Anyone commenting here with a price will also likely just check Swappa and tell you a number.

Wasn't sure if they were reputable, I normally go with eBay then I realized hey why not ask the community.

I would trust Swappa more than eBay. I just bought a pristine 128GB 6P through them and couldn't be happier. I've sold a few devices with them as well, and everything went very smoothly.

Fedex drivers called a strike last night, so expect delays. ?

Look in the Pixel 2 XL forum. There is already at least one thread for this.

We already have a large active Shipping thread in the Pixel XL 2 forum section!

Google Pixel 2/2 XL Discussion Thread (Hong Kong)

Dear All,
Since the Pixel 2/2 XL is not officially released in Hong Kong. Where are you ordering the 2/2 XL? Anyone already have a grey market 2/2 XL already? Any thoughts would be appreciated. I ordered mine from UK Google Store. I have family that can bring it over when it arrives in UK. My order is scheduled for 28-29 Nov ship out to UK address.
Enjoy your Pixel.

I just got a update from Google and my order had been bumped up from 28-29 Nov shipment to 21-23 Nov shipment.

good for you.

I couldn't wait and ordered from the us store, been using it for two weeks, so far so good. The only thing the UK one is better is because of the three pin plug.
I have seen some resale of 2xl online at prixx.xxx.hk, which are more than $10000. I certainly won't buy from them
The one I bought from the us Google store is only us$949, without tax, and can be shipped to Hong Kong by some mail forwarding company within 5-6 days after they receive the phone from Google, at a price of only hk$48. This is considerably cheaper than ordering from the UK store which charges a lot for tax

Hey so I found a group of people in a Chinese forum that have discovered a way to enable diag mode on the pixel 2 XL. Would any of you be able to translate for me or inquire about what steps they took?

That's great. HK Google Store won't sell it so we have to order from overseas Google Store. Mainly the plug that's why I ordered from UK. They ship date got bumped up so I'll get in sooner. VAT was the bad part. Oh well...I just hope the bugs can be ironed out with this batch.

US$949 = HK$7400
£899 = HK$9200
That's $1800 difference. You can buy almost 6 plugs from the UK store

I've got mine from US store and used a freight forwarder to Hong Kong... My friend picked it up from freight forwarder warehouse and mail to me... Sounds like smuggling but it is not... LOL

Lucky me I'm not paying for my birthday present this time but turns out it's a Christmas present now since it probably won't get delivered to Hong Kong from UK till December from the relatives. If my own money I'd get it from US or Canada since they get stock sooner then the of the world and save some money. We can't argue with the Mrs. ?

Jerry and cescman,
How's your Pixel 2XL build quality? Any blue shift? The known bugs pop up on your unit?
Thanks.

Blue shift certainly exists as it is a OLED panel....but actually it is not that bad, I hardly notice that during usage... The OS is super smooth.... :good: :laugh:

Great to hear no major problems. Smooth as iPhone? In Android world, smooth and lag free compared to 6P. I'm coming from 6P and it stutters and lags every so slightly even after two years but better then Samsung.

There is a reference in the Chinese forum to a QQ group where they have posted the necessary files for the pixel 2xl. I don't know any madarin so I have no idea how to locate or join that group.

Anybody but from MK shops? What are they going for compared to Google Store?

That is for Pixel XL first generation and they built a bootloader based on NOF27C which is Pixel XL 1st gen...
And I didn't find out the link to 2nd gen XL diag mode yet...

If you read the entire thread you'll see that they reference a build for the pixel 2 and 2xl and specifically state that they were going to NOT post it in the forums but that it's available in the group. I can highlight the page if you need.
Also it's not a bootloader it's a source built rom with the -eng and -diag tags forced during build.
