Poll: *** Google Nexus 6 ***

[-Mike-]

No idea mate. I Think you pay for the return post but still has amazon customer service, Albeit in French

I'm a serial phone swapper and part of a club apparently.... perhaps I ought to seek one out in a shop somewhere first!

Sounds like you had a faulty one or user error.

Camera is grand. And these other bugs you say ?

User error in pressing the camera button

and it's not just mine which is slow, but every nexus 6 ever made - I'm please you like it, but I have had vast experience with camera phones, and the nexus 6 doesn't live up to my expectations. Granted, the Nexus line used to offer good value for money, but the Nexus 6 is selling for a premium price so it has moved up into the premium category. Therefore, the camera imho is sub par

p.s. I'm using the Note 4 now lol

i had both phone, infact i have i have had most of the high end phones over the last 24 months.

the camera on the n6 is fine, granted it is not quite as good as the Note4 - i will give you that, however with a steady hand it takes a top pic... it is just not as forgiving as others

having touchwizz and half the phone full of bloat/junk ware is enough for me to make sure my hand is steady when i take a picture

 

[glenimp617]

Yeah I absolutely agree

When you do get that shot, it's fantastic. The hardware is there, it's just the software which needs sorting out, as I believe after speaking with some devs who understand the apis, it's this what's letting it down.

I actually though it was the hardware which was responsible for stuff like focus and shutter speed, but turns out it's the software doing it. How true that is I don't know

Am happy owner of Whit 64GB Nexus 6 now

[bastic]

Finally took the plunge and ordered a 64GB Blue on o2, wish I'd ordered one before Christmas but was waiting for HTC and Samsung.

The HTC doesn't look great and the Samsung has LOL-prices. Looking forward to stock Android.

I wanted blue but there was none via mobiles.co.UK
But white is awsome
Have spiegen case for it but prefer it without

Strange that's who I ordered from and is in stock now? Might have just been out at the time, either way I'd be happy.

I've never bothered with a case, I just get a pull tab leather pouch for my phones to protect them when in my pocket or bag. When it's on my desk in work it's caseless all the way, hate cases.

 

[bastic]

Leather pouch with tab ?

Yer something like this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=455333147&pf_rd_i=468294

You can get synthetic leather ones cheaper I guess. I've always used cases like this, best of both worlds, no case for when you're using it then just pop it in this for the pocket or bag.

Always used neoprene ones from eBay before but they didn't have any N6 sized ones.

My SMS messages sent to more than one person are going as MMS how do I change this to be sms on 5.1 ?

I have that leather pouch with my nexus 5. I don't like cases so it works well for me. If I went for a new phone I would be straight on their site to by another.

 

[newbiejim]

Just got one of these from Amazon.fr , lovely screen,premium feel and so much better without case on. One handed operation is eminently doable , in fact not any more difficult than my old Nexus 5.

 

[_Jimlad_]

Yeah I just have a leather pouch for travel. Otherwise naked.

Re-install the stock recovery and the update should install.
