Ran fine but battery didn't last half a day. Charging was so slow I simply couldn't use it. Travel would have been suicide. Picked up my first iPhone (7 plus) and I'm loving it. Battery is 63% after 12.5 hrs on travel.

Second beta is awesome! Love the Pixel Launcher.

I used to count myself among those who had nothing but good luck, but I've become fatigued and can no longer stand the issues. They've become increasingly disruptive.

Well, my 2+ yr journey with the Nexus 6 is over. Saturday night my phone died after impacting my kitchen counter twice. The fact that I became frustrated enough to subject it to such treatment is testament to the bad behavior it has exhibited. I refuse to submit to any more of it. The phone...

Doesn't impact bluetooth so car/headset still works... Definitely unusable though on mine (speakerphone). The phone had been sluggish on Nov 7.0 but is snappy now. New camera app and dialer app are great. The camera is leaps and bounds better.

Re: Nexus 6 to 7.1.1 Oh, I have zero sympathy too. If they'll give us a beta, it makes no sense to hold back the final (unless the final is completely unready).

Newsflash... We're talking about Nexus devices. We're also talking about major US carriers who are impeding the availability of Nexus OTAs. And yes, actually.

The OP might be holding the tablet upside down... If I recall correctly, the screen orientation flips but it doesn't reorient volume up/down.

FWIW, my buddy keeps cracking his N6 and he says Motorola is selling him replacements for like $175. He doesn't have any special coverage plan.

I had my original N6 from Nov 2014 replaced about a month ago under Motorcare coverage. I definitely notice better battery life. Mobile batteries just don't hold up over multiple years.

Typical carrier nonsense.

Re: Nexus 6 to 7.1.1 I bet that the problems like the 6P shutoff are the reason Google is none too quick to update phones as of late. Heck, they just balked at fixing the Pixel audio issue! That's a new phone!! It's pretty obvious now that they'd rather not fix corner case issues (especially...

Seriously, the carriers are really messing with the rollouts. For those who don't have it yet just grab the latest ota and sideload it. You won't regret it. The official Google blog states explicitly that the 6 will get 7.1.1 even though it's not posted yet.

I just noticed that my phone has done this since around the change back from daylight savings. My phone is set correctly and has correct time/date/timezone, but photos were all 1 hour behind. Nexus 6 running Nov 7.0. I can't verify the timestamps for photos taken on Sunday Nov 5 (I have no...
