Mine is but shutdown prob sometimes
I bought a 2nd one so I'm a bit paranoid about going all in and using it as my main device only for it to BLOD on me at some point.
The 6P was and still is my favorite phone. Loved the design and performance and camera, battery life was poor though.
I've owned about 5 over the years. My latest one got used for a good while and is now used as a backup phone in the family and still ticks along okay, battery is shot though!
My current pixel 2xl which I just bought second hand feels a lot like the 6P did, which is nice to see.
Mine ?
Cool. So not every phone is a lemon?
Funnily enough I bought a 2nd hand pixel 2 XL and I thought the screen was terrible - it was just way too blue. So I sold it and bought the N6P. The screen is much better then the pixel IMHO plus I put £100 in my back pocket.
Not mine
Phone is stuck in bootloop for a year or 2 now

I bought a 2nd hand pixel 2XL for £90 and am selling it already, crap battery (compared to my Moto Z Play) and the mobile reception was poor, even compared to the 6P.
Screen isn't bad, but can't forgive the reception and the battery.
£90 is a very good price for a pixel 2 XL. The battery on the pixel 2 I had was decent but the screen was poor for the price.
I am using it right now actually. Whenever I decide to get rid of it, I start using it again and it's so smooth and good to hold.
Maybe I could just replace the battery....
The mobile reception is a pain though. It isn't awful, but it is worse than my previous phones.
mine got into a bootloop last year n the power button is broken so theres really no saving it. ended up going with a galaxy s8+ duos. only thing i miss is the smooth n stable aosp roms tbh.

i bought my 6P refurbished in late 2017 and i dont think that the class action applies to me since i didnt purchase the phone from google or a service provider.
Mine (128 GB) is still going but the battery is worn out. drains fast when used and shuts down around 30%. just moved to a Moto last weeks as a primary. VZ warranty offered to replace my 6p with a Moto z Force or reimburse for battery replacement.. Other than than it looks like new and works quite well still.
Got mine yesterday. Abit battered but it works. Battery replaced and all working good on full 8 cores. Doesn't heat up much either? going to replace housing and it will look new again.

I'm going to get ripped for this but a pixel 2.
Me too! Did you find the screen awful? It was so blue. So I sold it and put £100 in my back pocket and bought the 6P.
I bought the pixel 2nd hand but I only kept it for a week or two.

Mine was a 2 xl in black. Screen was fine. Broke because of water damage, no rescuing it. So bought one from a mate of mine. He hadn't used it in a while so sold me it dirt cheap replace battery and housing and looks good as new.
I have a Pixel 2xl that broke. I'm out of town and won't be home for a month, to get it fixed. But I have my trusty 6p as back up. I bought it brand new, when they came out. I forgot what a darn good phone it is. It's one of my all time favorites. Still going strong. I'm so glad I kept it.

HTC sent me a replacement unit for the Nexus One I have with dust under the screen. Here are my observations:
- A Nexus One with no battery or battery cover was loosely surrounded by the plastic that comes with a new phone, sitting in a standard shipping box with some bubble wrap.
- The phone appears to be unused - no scratches anywhere, not even near the USB port.
- The serial number on the replacement phone is 7936 higher than on the original N1.
- The part number on the new phone is: "99HKE002-01" but the part number on the old N1 is "99HKE002-00 F". Not sure what the "F" is for, but it looks like I got a newer revision of the N1. I bought the first N1 a couple of days after release. What is the p/n on the new AT&T version of the N1?
- The IMEI number on the replacement phone is 6825776 higher than my original N1.
- The darker plastic parts on the phone are a different color than my original N1. It is more of light gray color than the darker, almost chocolate original color. I like the original more, and now my battery cover does not match the rest of the phone.
- The trackball is a different color. It is now almost transparent white instead of transparent darker color like the dark plastic. It's possible my old trackball is just dirty, but I don't think that is the case.
- The volume button (especially volume down) on the replacement phone has much better feeling when pressed. It seems to have longer travel when depressed, and it clicks better. I always thought the volume down button on my original phone was not that great.
- The haptic feedback is less intense (too weak) with the replacement phone. I'm not sure if this is because I was using custom ROMs and kernels or if there is a hardware/software change with the replacement phone.
- The screen on the new phone seems sharper than the old screen, could just be imagining it. The old phone had some dead pixels and could have some other underlying problem.
- The battery life is significantly better, maybe related to the seemingly different screen. It might just be because the custom ROMs have worse battery life. Huge difference though.
- The replacement phone is not engraved, but I was told that would be the case.
- The old battery cover fits fine on the new phone.
- There is no dust under the screen, yet.
I am happy with the replacement phone because it seems to be brand new and a rev newer than the original N1 I have. I assume they made some very small improvements with the revision, but it could also just be something as minor as the plastic coming from a different paint batch, or a better adhesive was used under the screen to stop dust from coming in, who knows.
The only downside is the different color of the plastic. I would be bothered by the color difference, especially since the battery cover does not match the rest of the phone anymore, and because I like the old color more, but I plan on sending the phone into Colorware for a matte black unicolor finish. My only worry here is that Colorware will have to remove the screen to paint the plastic, and when they put it back together they will have to re-use the original adhesive tape on the back of the screen, which may not seal properly and give me dust under my screen again.
I'll try to take some pictures and post them later.
Interesting stuff, I have been wondering if there have been runnning production changes and it appears that there may well be some.

Yes, my original N1 that I'm packing up to ship back now was rooted. They may or may not honor the warranty, and may make me pay to repair the dusty screen, or they might just let me send back the replacement phone (I won't root the replacement until I hear back from HTC). Worst case scenario I end up with two N1s that I paid full price for. I would just sell the old one on ebay or craigslist.
I'll call up about the color difference and see if they will send me a matching battery cover.
I've also noticed the significant difference in battery life between nexus ones. I've had a t-mobile one and two at&t ones, one a swap for the other with a dead pixel (you probably saw my recent thread about the displays.) The t-mobile one had great battery life, the first at&t one was bad at about half the battery life, and this new at&t one seems to have good battery life, on par with the original t-mobile one. I'm surprised at the variability of these phones.

By chance did the 99HKE002-00 F have bad battery life too? Cause I can hardly go a full day without being on EDGE.

I could get about 12-14 hours with moderate use, 1-2 hours of web surfing, 1-2 phone calls, 5-6 sms.
Did you notice a change in screen color temperature? I received my replacement Nexus One and it too has very very weak haptic feedback vibration.
What's worse is that my screen on low brightness setting looks totally pink! I've contacted HTC about this and they're going to be swapping the replacement for another replacement. I'm hoping that the replacement won't have these defects.
What about external speaker guys? Do you found it louder from the older devices?
The loudspeaker is pretty much the same between my tmo and att nexus's. I sold my tmo nexus so I can't do a side-by-side comparison, but IMO, the screen of my new att is less saturated and more blue'ish, not a bad thing though. The autobrightness is not as good as my tmo version. The brightness is always set to low by the phone

I don't notice any pink color on low brightness, but I really don't have a good eye for these things. It certainly is not obvious if it there at all.
Did HTC say anything about the weak haptic feedback?
EDIT: Damnit man, now I kinda might be maybe seeing some pink on low brightness. No idea if it was the same on the last phone though.

With the new N1 I make it ~16 hours with about 30% left, as opposed to 0% after ~12-14 hours with the old N1. Again, the old phone was rooted, but I doubt the custom ROMs make that big a difference, if any.
Today, I took the phone off the charger at 7am and it is now 930PM. I have used the phone very lightly today and am at ~65%.

With an overclocked CPU and using JIT, my old phone would last almost double that.
Your phone is defective. Call HTC for a replacement. It took only two days for the replacement phone to arrive.

Well they told me they will waive all of the restocking fees and such. So I am just going to return everything and repurchase somewhere down the line... I wanted to make sure I can return the thing if I can't adjust from the iPhone.
But for example, today I spent most of the day in the airplane so it was in my pocket on standby. Took her off the charger at about 11 thing was warning me about 15% around 6:30, and I was flying all day so I didn't even use it for more than an hour or so.

You most definitely havea a defective phone.
So I picked up my Nexus 7 from GameStop, and I can't express how happy I am about this purchase! I always see everyone complaining about dead pixels, lifted screens, etc. Are there other people out there just as happy as me? I don't see anything wrong with the hardware, and 4.1.1 runs beautifully, couldn't be happier!

It's hard to say, since mine hasn't arrived yet. I'm in Aus, so that's expected.
Most of what I've heard is very positive, though.
I'm happy love it at this price!
Mine appears to be perfect from the play store except the flicker issue.

Its fair to say that reading XDA around the launch of a new bit of hardware you've bought will make you paranoid as hell.
A lot here sit at home with their forensic kits waitng for their new equipment to arrive then put the thing through an hours inspection at least as soon as they get it. They'll have all the weird test patterns for the screen that XDA have produced along with microscopes and measuring calipers.
In other words, if you want to feel good about your new toy, probably best not to come here for a bit.... It can be the OCD centre of the internet at times.
I might be when mine arrives next month if it is defect-free
I recieved mine in Melbourne, AUS yesterday with the screen completely stuffed - Washed out, burn-in and uneven backlighting!
So no, I am not particularly happy, but if mine was good then I would be VERY happy.

I agree 100%, everyone waiting on their 7 should avoid these forums for a minute... when I was on my way to pick mine up, I was paranoid as hell, couldn't stop thinking about dead pixels, or something.. and I usually have horrible luck when I buy retail products, I always get the defects. Guess someone was watching out for me for the 7 ahaha

I had to return mine due to faults, but I'm still very happy with it! Faults happen, esp on new runs, and historically I've been very lucky with my tech. I'm not happy I have to wait to play with it again, but that'll be outweighed by the replacement arriving fault free. Enjoy yours!

Got any pics?
It's a $200 device so you can't expect the screen quality to be like a Pioneer Kuro.... Its a decent screen for the money, but yeah its not HD S+ AMOLED. Its not $800 either.
If mine didn't have dead pixels and screen bulge.....I'm sure I'd be happy.

Until it heats up and separates......like mine
I admit if there were a few things that were native to the N7 I'd be ALOT happier .( support for flash- I know this is Adobe's main fault, a sd slot , a rear high quality camera, Gorilla Glass instead of Corning® Fit Glass , plastic bezel replaced with a metal one, ) But hey what can you expect with a price just above the $200.00 mark ?
Overall I'm happy so far.
-I'm having some issues with the touch pad/lag in games but I'm now blaming that on immature Tegra drivers .Hoping an update fixes this soon.
Picked up from Gamestop!? Off topic, but you got yours today? As in they just called you and said it was in? =.D

Yes your right, SD card is a big one. For the camera, I have an upgrade in march (Verizon) and I plan on getting the best android phone I could get my hands on. But I have the 16gig so I haven't ran into an issue with memory yet. Also gorilla glass would have been lovely, and the metal over plastic of course. But being my first tablet, for only 250$, I could definitely overlook some of these faults!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I'm not particularly happy. Mine arrived dead, and remained dead even after being left on charge overnight. Reading through these forums, this is the list of faults I've seen.
- Dead on arrival
- Dead after a few hours use
- Light bleeding down side of the screen
- Screen/colour washout
- Yellow tints on the screen
- Image retention lasting minutes
- Dead pixels
- Screen glass bulging
- Creaking screens
- Erratic touch screen / dead zones
- One legged type sound from speakers
- Microphone dead on arrival or failing within days
- Endless NFC force closes on first boot
- Lag
However, I do agree with kitch9's sentiment. I'm guessing only people with faults are posting and I'm hoping there's plenty of perfect devices out there somewhere! It is a human trait to tell more people if you receive bad service, rather than good.
Mines is running perfect and defect free. Always seem like no matter the product, there's always a percentage that has issues or people that has gripes with it. Don't let those mess up your experience with your device. Its a great deal and it performs better than most high end tablets/phones out right now. Its a great deal for the power you get. Very happy to own one.
I'm happy my I/O unit is perfect
Well sort of ie: random crashing (NFC mostly, menu buttons crashed once) flickering, top bar freezing, dead pixels (3 of them), speaker volume sucks. Urgh the glass on this sucks! I have micro scratches already! My 4S and iPad combine don't have as many!
But its all cherry other wise

Picked mine up from Gamestop and it had no faults. I was the only one in my town to pre-order the thing which is surprising. Its because my little Nexy didnt have to share a box with others so he slept unharmed while he was on the plane
Mine is perfect. No lag, no light bleeding that I can see when using, audio works, no screen lifted, battery life is great (first charge last night, and only because I forgot to turn off Dice so it kept the tablet on, doh!).
I love mine. Got a nicely built one , just like my galaxy nexus was. Although we shouldn't be guessing and hoping for products that we are paying for..

First of all, hello to everyone, glad to join and be a part of this great community. I just opened up my tablet today (32gb in black I ordered from abt.com) and the first thing I noticed was that the back of the tablet is not flat. The plastic has about 8 bumps (4 on top 4 on bottom), like something is sticking out from inside. They are not very large bumps but definitely visible, and looks bad especially for a $600 tablet. I just wanted to check if others have noticed this, just to verify if this is something common, or if maybe if it's just my device. I took a photo with my nexus 4 but the camera is not that great and didn't show the problem very well. I will try to get a photo with my brothers dslr and post it later today.
no problem here. And I did check mine tablet with microscope I am not kidding, I am super picky about build quality.
The only thing I don't like is very minor light bleed which was not present in original Note 10.1 2012 edition. But it's not that bad as Nexus 10, I went through 4 of those and finally give up on that model. Where is your tablet made?
Nothing like that here. That's something worth exchanging for.
Regards,
John Francis
Mine has a little play in the back left side like it can be pushed in and clank off the guts of the tablet. Will be exchanging it again....

Thanks for the words man!
If this was the only issue, I MIGHT think about keeping it, but it isn't, I listed the others in the build quality thread ... and my black plastic clunks/pops pretty loud, especially since I'm right handed so its always in my left hand. I would feel different if this had some age to it, but right out the box its got all sorts of clunks/pops/creaks ... what about 3 months or 6 months from now? or out of warranty? is this thing gonna **** the bed on me or fall apart? I'd rather start off on a solid foundation and any wear on this tablet is by me ya know?
Welp! Here's to the 3rd try hopefully being the last try to get the tablet I paid for lol

Quite a relief.
Ive owned it since it came out. But the audio in both the ear piece and speaker have decided to stop working a of yesterday
Had it nearly 3 years now with heavy usage. No burn in no dead pixels. Still works great!
Owned mine since the day it came out here. Status bar is burned in a bit. When I rotate the screen I see a color difference where the bar usually is,especially on whit backgrounds. I've had this for a year probably. No dead pixels though and the burn in really isn't that bad. I don't notice it when watching YouTube for example.

No burn in here, zero screen problems (apart from sometimes having a green decontrasted tint to the screen after unlocking, fixed by turning the screen off and on again)
Owned mine since came out , no burn in , no dead pixel , no precautionary routine to prevent
Two years and a half now, some burn in, barely noticeable. Kinda pissed about it, but you can't really get away with it on AMOLED.
Nothing at all on my screen after 3 years .

Own it since April 2014, no burn in what so ever, no precautions. Bought a slickwrap and replaced the battery, still working like a champ to this day. Planning to give it to my girlfriend and getting the s7 edge, just because I don't like keeping phones for more then 2 years, otherwise I could easily have used this for one more year.

Excellent report. Thanks
Mine is working flawlessly,i dropped my N3 in the water but still survived. the only problem is Flash Light became Little bit low which i never Use
I was recently looking into selling my 6P since I have my Pixel 2 XL on order. Happened to get an eBay email today about selling my phone so I thought why the hell not. As you can see form the link, you just simply select options from the list so you can either know what the average trending price of your phone is or get a cash offer from Quick Sale.
I was upset that I couldn't select 128GB option after selecting the gold color - thinking it was eBay's error. Well, I Google around and apparently it's a well known fact that Matte Gold was not offered in 128GB!
So how this happened, back in January, I was streaming music in my car when the music suddenly stopped. I grabbed my phone out of the center cubby and the phone was in the middle of rebooting. Well it freaking bootlooped until the battery died. When I got home I recharged it and got into Recovery and thought I'd wipe and reboot. No luck and reading the forms at the time, everyone said to RMA with either Google or Huawei.
Long story short, I RMA'd through Huawei and they said they replace or fix the phone. After about a week they said they repaired it and it was being shipped back. Back in my hand I started immediately caching my Google Play Music library to my phone and wondered where the hell all the extra space came from. I guess that to fix my phone they just replaced the main board that happened to have 128GB onboard instead of my original 64GB. I don't think it was a completely different handset since it came back same box I sent it in and just like my phone it was flawless except from some scuffs around the Type-C port.
TL;DR
Idk what the hell happened but I'm curious to know if I possibly have the only 128GB Matte Gold Nexus 6P in the world???
Cool Story Bro
Nice free upgrade!
I bought a used 128Gb silver 6P a few weeks ago, after my Pixel XL died.
It came with a gold tinted see-through case and I thought it looked pimp.
Come to find out, it's actually just a clear see-through case that yellowed with age.
I still think it's pimp. hahah

Lol, I've always worn a clear case on mine and I think I've had to buy a new one every 6 months because of that same tinting!
