Google Nexus 6 Shipping updates thread

[Robbie317]

Have you ever seen the LG G3 screen? if so, how does it compare to the Nexus 6? The reason I ask is, I heard the same complaints about the G3, which also has a QHD screen. When I had the G3 I did notice that the screen didn't get that bright, and it wasn't as colorful, but it was very sharp & clear. If the Nexus 6 screen is like that I won't have an issue with it.

I LOVED the G3 screen.... I tried to buy one more than once on Swappa and Craiglist back in the summer when the "This is just too big for me" people started trying to sell and trade them... I went to the same T-Mobile store I went to play with the Nexus 6 and messed around with it and I was very impressed with the screen.. My personal taste is for my screen to not be TOO bright... I understand where it might be an issue with people who spend a lot of time outside and in the sunlight... but I spend 10 hours a day inside an office..... I probably spend 23 hours a day inside somewhere... Work, Home, Gym, etc.... Even with my daughter while she was playing soccer they have a covered bleachers area so I am in the shade during her games anyway

Have you had a chance to play with the Nexus 6? I spent about 30 - 40 minutes with it Friday night at my local T-Mobile and I was only able to compare it side by side with my Nexus 5.. They had it anchored to a shelf with no other phones around it... and to my eyes with auto brightness set on both they looked about the same brightness wise (I thought the Nexus 6 looked just amazing so I honestly didn't even check the brightness level or adjust it any)

Re: How many got to order and which day?

Don't be afraid to ask me any questions or concerns you may have about the Nexus 6 since I already have it in my hands.

Do you have a wireless charger and if so have you tested if it works or not? That is my only mild concern that it isn't going to charge via one of my 3 TYLT chargers I've been using for the last 18 months.......

Should have mine tomorrow but since you are offering... lol

Re: How many got to order and which day?

Got an email at about 4AM that my order from 11/5 on the Play Store shipped. No tracking info available yet, but since Kentucky isn't far from me and I got two day shipping, I'm hoping I might luck out and receive it tomorrow.

That's the only questions I wouldn't be able to answer since I don't have a wireless charger for the phone yet lol.

Well dang.... You were of no use to me......

Mine is showing in transit from Hong Kong... I don't know if I will have it tomorrow or not... Possible if it hits all the stops just right but I am counting more on Thursday... I'll code it hold for pick up so maybe late tomorrow afternoon...

Hopefully it's actually shipping from Kentucky....... Motorola originally said Texas and just seems like they never got them out of China to their Texas warehouse... but I doubt Play Orders would drop ship directly from China... but maybe.....

Good luck...

Lol I will mention this, I love almost everything about the phone but one thing and its the fact that I've only been able to get 3-4 hours of on screen use.

Mine shows it has left Hong Kong too. What flight is that on? And what is the destination? I am not seeing a Fedex flight on Flightaware for this.... Yes I am being obnoxious by following a plane...lol

I haven't seen any on display in the T-mobile near me. They've been crowded and helping a bunch of people when I've gone. You have to sign in by paper, and wait for them to help you, so I just leave since I just want to see a phone they may have in the back.

it leaves at 10:30 pm local time..... Roughly an hour from now and should arrive in Memphis at 10:45 ish pm tonight...... It's probably on the aircraft but it has not taken off yet....

That's awesome! Congrats man! I'm just worried now since I ordered on 10.29 and still no shipping. Maybe Google is just drawing names from a hat.

I called the T-Mobile closest to me and they said they had a demo... I went up there and they do the same thing.. You sign in and someone helps you when they get around to you.. but they had it on a display near the back of the store and anchored down.... so I just told the girl signing people in I see what I want to play with and just walked passed her.... but she ironically stood there with me for about 10 minutes and amazingly knew a lot about it... a lot of detail about 5.0 and even the device in general... and they didn't have a placard up with the information it was just sitting there all alone... so she knew her $hit.....

I don't have a wireless charger to test but I've read over at XDA of folks that have gotten qi chargers to work on it.

That's cool. I just walked in and told them I wanted to look at some phones. One young lady said "sure" and didn't bother me again (she was really busy). I walked all around hoping to see something. I didn't want to ask, were they would have to go to the back to get it, maybe if it weren't so busy. I'm going to go early today, and may even try another store.

It's sure good to see shipping notifications for at least one person who ordered on the 5th. It gives me hope, but not that much since I chose standard 3-5 day shipping.

How much screen time have you been able to get on a full charge?

I see it now. So it will get to Memphis at 10:30ish tonight. That will be cutting it close. I only live 3 hours from Memphis so maybe. But I really doubt it. I am thinking Thursday. That is cool. One day won't hurt.

Yea, they say the Nexus 5 wireless charger does not work well with it(weird). But lots of other wireless chargers do.

I've just been fumbling around with the case that showed up yesterday... My wife just said "Really Robert? Really?"

she has an HTC One M8 and she set it down and the case just engulfed it.......

I showed my son (who is almost 6) my new phone and he exclaimed, "that's not a phone!". Although he immediately proceeded to ask me if he could have my old one.
