So I figured out the price gap between the nexus 5 and the nexus 6, the nexus 6' included Sim card slot key is metal not plastic . Also despite all google/motorola's efforts I finally got one.

Despite the issues I wouldn't go back. It's not as bad for me as it is for some, most of my initial issues I think I've sorted. My Supcase Unicorn Beetle cases for my nexus 6 & 9 arrived today. Hah even now I don't feel like my nexus 6 is too big . Anyway they seem pretty good for a tough case. It's definitely awesome to have matching cases for both nexus.

Well looks like my Nexus 6 came with a dodgy rear camera module, real bad artifacts to dead about 2-3 seconds after turning it on, if it turns on. I noticed some artifacts about 2 weeks ago in 1-2 pictures but thought maybe it was a HDR mess up until now. Since it took a month for this to culminate Motorola wants me to send it for repair.

SlayVus posted:I bought a Huawei phone for use with TracFone and it poo poo the bed after like 3 weeks. The screen registered phantom touches, wouldn't register actual touches, would register touches in different areas on the screen. This was apparently a common problem across this model. Me too except it was barely acceptable for about a year. I went looking for a cheap android phone lately and all the local stores had were like $100 or near to it, I got that huawei for $50 about 5 years ago

I don't use it but I can tell you guys my nexus 6 does let me add another user in addition to guest, I remember there was supposed to be a difference on phone/tablet as well so it's probably some other aspect.nerve posted:Any other Nexus 6 dudes find taking a screenshot to be insanely tedious? Every time I do it the volume float thing pops up. I seriously just tried 10 times in a row and didn't get it. You're hitting volume down, right? You just made me try a few dozen with various hand positions and had greater than 80% success.

I like pushbullet channels when they exist for something I use. So right now mostly humble bundle and the custom ROM on my Nexus 6 which is handy.

Combat Pretzel posted:I guess I'll just change the MX entries on my domain and hope that the Google Apps accounts won't get shutdown for inactivity or some poo poo like that (I can see Google go "what, no mails or even spam the last six months? THIS CANNOT STAND!"). IDK if Google Apps accounts are different for some reason but I've had forgotten gmail accounts that I rediscovered after years.

uPen posted:The difference is they cost money. I have no idea what google would do to purchases you've made when you stop paying for Apps (it's still a dumb name.) Maybe they'll downgrade you to a regular non-gmail google account? Yeah, I knew it cost money, I forgot they stopped free Google Apps accounts back in 2012 though, I figured you'd just downgrade to that, now who knows?

CLAM DOWN posted:Battery life looks like it might be underwhelming along with apparently a subpar camera, I do think it's cool that it's a relatively ethically made phone though. My assessment also. The rest of it will be a serviceable if middling device. The question I guess is if the ethos of the phone is worth the value difference of €530 for this phone which will (hopefully) begin shipping in November in comparison to the Moto X 2014 which at least in my country is ~€200 less right now and with slightly better specs (same processor, RAM).

FML it's been 7 weeks since I sent my Nexus 6 for repair, well more like 4 weeks since I had to chase the courier and make multiple calls to Motorola and Toll to get the drat thing picked up in the first place. Now it's been three weeks since I accepted the repair quote and nothing has happened and Motorola don't know what's up, so I hope their query gets this thing loving done. I sent it in a year ago and it took a week, never mind that was warranty and now I'm paying for this poo poo.

AnonymousNarcotics posted:Does anyone ever choose not to transfer everything to a new phone? My contacts and photos are synced to gmail, and I don't really need anything else. I think half the fun of a new phone is getting new apps and organizing stuff. Is it just me? Hell yes, I mean half the time in the past it was because it would fail to properly restore and just leave me with stock anyway but I never bother to get rid of apps once they're on the drat phone so it's the best strategy for me.

Ironically this is the first time I've gotten a Google device without waiting ages at release. Even if they did get stuck in customs for 2 days in Australia because goog didn't value them correctly.

CLAM DOWN posted:After using my Pixel XL for a couple weeks now, it's continuing to astound me with well, that fact it just works. It works so well, it's so smooth and fast, doesn't skip a beat swapping around apps and doing literally everything. And the camera is so good. Recent flagships like the Note 7 (explosions notwithstanding) don't hold a candle to this experience, it's such a refresher. I couldn't recommend it more. Trip report: I've actually impressed my girlfriend a couple of times now with Google assistant's responses versus never really impressing her with Google Now commands. Yeah the phone is awesome. I just wish it wasn't like two steps forward one step back though. I do miss stereo speakers, even if they aren't front facing and water resistance and Qi charging because I have a drat Tylt Vu to do nothing with now. But it's still great.

You'd think after almost every Nexus model had issues with loose buttons they'd have worked to get it right for their new premium phone. That said mine like most is nice and clicky this time round, hallelujah.

Sidesaddle Cavalry posted:water resistance would be nice but I'd really love hardware OIS especially on a compact model. How much of the Pixel's experience comes from things that are going to be walled off from everyone else for a while? I won't say it's impossible but the Nexus 6 had hardware OIS and Google made such a big deal about the Pixels software OIS I don't see them ditching it.
