Black Friday - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ant chance Google (or Huawei) will have a Black Friday sale on the 6P?

I have no facts to back this up, but I HIGHLY DOUBT it. It's not in their best interest to discount a phone that at that time will be roughly 1 month old, and they can still demand their premium price for it.
Again, just my opinion, but I will be flabbergasted if they do, and pissed since I pre-ordered one and I will receive it about 3 weeks before black Friday.
On that thought I really don't think they would, because everyone who pre-orders one will raise hell.

Never happens.

if you want a BF sale phone, keep an eye on the XPE. last year the '14 X went on sale and it was only 1-2 mos from initial release. sites are already speculating that the XPE might get a slight discount.

Just got my X7501 from CompUSA on saturday. This thing is very cool. I'm going to use it everyday for the next week as a laptop replacement as I will be traveling on vacation from Florida to Minnesota and back for the holidays. I will be able to give it a good workout. I will be bringing my Tilt as back up though.
As a side note to anyone thinking about getting one of these, CompUsa is going out of business and everything is marked down 20 or more percent. That's why I went ahead and got the X7501. $719.99 plus tax.

Is this true for all compusa stores ?
If it is, I'm going out tomorrow to buy one !
AFAIK theye are going out of business nation wide, or at least thats what the guy there said to me. Here's the catch, no returns no refunds. The store here had 6-7 left and our sales tax is 7 percent so if anyone needs one let me know.
Figures, I bought mine full-fare at CompUsa 2 months ago. $950 including tax. Glad I didn't buy the extended warranty they were trying to shove down my throat.
Well, I got mine from CompUSA in August and did get the extended warranty. However, they have already posted what to do if you need the warranty after December and it appears to be insured and OK. I was sweating for a few weeks, though.

You should always speak to a manager. I was at a cusa one day last week and discussed the x7501. He was willing to match the Amazon price last Sept and would sell the tap plan for half off at that time. So attempt to negotiate. The deal last week was 20% off ($719)and he would add the tap for $100. I'm waiting for the 30% off deal, still had 4 on hand one being a demo. I'm planning to score the demo at 30-40% off unless someone else gets it. He said that he could likely make the next markdown by the end of this week. Good luck to all who score one before they are gone. This is one time where I'd likely take the tap plan just for screen and hd replacement.
I got mine yesterday in Delaware for $629. They have 2 left plus the Demo.
i ordered mine from mobileplanet.com for $629 at the beginning of the month...

Sprint - Preorder Galaxy S3

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere yet, but the Galaxy S3 is up for preorder at Sprint.
$200 for the 16GB model and $250 for the 32GB, both in blue or white and with 2 year agreement ($550/$600 w/o contract).
Delivery expected by June 21st.
16GB

awesome!
I just finished pre-ordering mine!! I'm excited! I hope my area allows for early delivery. Also in case anyone else here knows more about this, how early can we expect a pre-order? They say they will try to get it delivered before June 21 but how early are we looking at? Maybe a week?

I preordered my own, the 32GB Pebble Blue model. I am very excited however I wouldn't expect the phone any earlier than June 21. Sprint says they will try to get it here earlier but at most "earlier" probably means a couple of days.
There is a big "customer event" in Boston on June 12th to officially announce this phone and give people hand's on with it (along with other Sprint related tech & info). I signed up to go but I don't know if I will since all I am interested in is this phone and I already have it pre-ordered
As a side note, I don't know how everyone feels about cases but I absolutely love TPU cases on my phones. Not only do they protect great but they also increase grip and don't add noticeable bulk. I found an eBay seller that has black matte TPU cases for $3. Hopefully it arrives before my phone does

I too ordered mine and I'm super excited. I haven't been this excited about a launch in a long time. 2 gbs of ram?! What?!!
Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk 2
I haven't been this excited about a phone either since the iPhone 4! I pre ordered it the first day that sprint put it up for pre order, i think it was Monday... Anyways, the sales rep that took my order told me that at the end of the sale she would tell me what day her system is giving her that i would receive the phone, she said it would be the 8th, which now, its tomorrow! I have been clicking on the Check the status of your order page at least 4 times per day just to see if they put a tracking number on it yet, but no luck!
I am freaking out! I called sprint back yesterday to verify and they said that they didn't know when it would be shipped... I just wanna know if anyone else have been given an actual date like i was given one too... She probably just made a mistake, but that mistake is driving me crazy!!! I want that phone now!!! LOL

Moto X is live on Verizon's site - post here if you ordered!

The Moto X has been live on the VZW site for about 15 minutes now. Did you get one?
I grabbed one on a 2-year contract upgrade for $199.99. White, 16GB (only the 16GB is available, of course - no 32GB).
I was fortunately not forced to give up my Unlimited data during the time of upgrade. This was a complete surprise to me... so I double-triple-quadruple checked during the transaction and despite doing a 2-year contract upgrade I was able to keep my data plan as unlimited on my line. I suspect, however, that this is a feature of my being on an employee account with VZW. Still, you may want to see if you have the option.
I paid $14.99 extra for next-day shipping. The website said delivered by 10:30am on 8/30/2013. Woohoo!
Aw we posted at the same time.
I'm having mine delivered to my workplace, I can't wait!

Yeah, sorry for double threads. Mods can delete this one if they want. Apparently, I can't figure out how to do so.
Enjoy your phone. I almost went with black after hearing so much about the discoloration, etc. of the white version, but I'll be getting a case anyway so... I went with what I preferred.
I ordered the white.

No way possible i could buy this phone with 11gb of storage..lol...I will wait for the 32gb or the dev edition
I ordered mine a little bit ago with overnight shipping by 10:30am friday so I can play with it at work (I work 2nd shift) rather than sit there waiting till I get home to use it.
I ordered one as well, but through my GF's account (she's getting my Galaxy S3). I tried to use mine and keep my unlimited data, but no luck. Oh well, 16 GB black version on it's way to my house by 10:30 AM tomorrow! I already took the day off
There's a 30% off coupon that was posted: Verizon30
Use it to make it come to $139.99
just ordered the black off contract,
I don't understand this launch, unless they're intentionally making it hard to find so people will buy those other pieces of garbage.

I ordered mine, in black. Hoping I don't regret this, was originally going to hold out for the Nexus 5 on T Mobile.
Anyone get a shipping notice yet?
I ordered the White. Got my shipping notification a while ago.
Excited.

Going to wait until the developer edition comes out, 11gb just won't be enough for me. It's going to be a painful wait lol
Ordered the black on its way to my door tomorrow

Nexus 6 - $150 off @ Google Store

$150 for both 32GB and 64GB versions. It may be temporary price so act fast if you are in market for new unlocked Nexus 6.
https://store.google.com/product/nexus_6
Woohoo!!!! Oh wait, I already have one. But I can't complain, mine was $489 free shipping 5 weeks ago. No accessories though. $500 would have been a good price from the beginning, and they would have sold a lot more. Oh well. Good price for those still wanting one.
thanks...
just bought mine yesterday. supposed to be delivered on thursday.
Shipped
1 Nexus 6 (64GB, Cloud White) $699.00. hopefully they will do a price adjustment for me.

I don't think price alone affected low sales. Poor marketing. This was meant to compete with other flagship phablets. And they did a piss poor job. For the average person they don't care about "pure android" or timely updates. They want the latest and greatest. Seems like Google didn't do much to market this phone for people outside of the people who already have/own/want a nexus. Nexus crowd expect a cheaper price and were turned off by the size. If Google wanted this to sell better they should have marketed as a competitor to the iPhone 6+ and Note 4.
I bought mine 30 days ago. So how long they go back to do price adjustment?

that makes me feel better. i will update here as soon as i find out.
thanks.
I coincidentally was purchasing one from the Play store when this price change occurred. Was looking at Amazon Warehouse deals and noticed new 64gb were the same price.
Wanted to swait and see what the next Nexus 5 had in store, but my Galaxy Nexus is finally croaking and well past its prime. Should have a new phone this evening. Then time to cut my Sim and wait for Google Fi so I can cut VZW.
They will reimburse you if you have a recent buy through them, got mine a week ago n they helped me out which is great!!

I just got off the phone with Google. They had my joy on a yoyo string. First it was yes we can refund. then no we cant, because you're out of the 15 day refund period( by 1 day!!!). So I told her I havent connected it because of waiting on project fi. But also explained i was looking to maybe get the S6 and just return the nexus 6. I continued to tell her I saw online that google dropped the price and some people have gotten the difference refunded. She spoke to the manager and he said "no don't lose the sale just refund the difference"
So the $150 is suppose to post in my account in 2days.
Fyi there's a 15 day refund policy. they can work around that if you threaten to return the phone. Also. I'm sure if it's been more than 30days it won't work either way.
they did refund me the difference.
here is the email i got.......
Thank you for contacting Google about your recent Nexus 6 order!
In keeping with our Price Protection Policy, I've refunded you the difference in price resulting from our recent price reduction.
If there is anything else you need, please do not hesitate to reach out, and congratulations on your new phone!
Thanks,

US Pre-order Waiting Room

Noticed no one's started the US Preorder room yet so figured I would.
Preordered 128gb Note 20 Ultra and Galaxy Watch 3 direct from Samsung (educational discount) a few minutes after preorders opened up. Shows right now shipping on the 19th with estimated delivery of the 21st. This is the first time I haven't ordered through T-Mobile (RIP JOD).

With last years note samsung shipped out a few days before T-Mobile. My biggest reason for going direct to Samsung though is that I wanted the Galaxy Watch 3 and didn't want to wait for the phone to arrive before ordering the Watch 3 with the $200 discount.

I'm hoping they do lol the gf got me this phone for my birthday, and the arrival date is a day after.
yeah blah blah blah me too - ordered on day one like all of us impatient blokes and should ship on the 19th here in the US through fedex. the note 10+ shipped right along schedule as it was anticipated last year so hopefully the shutdown won't cause any MAJOR delay in shipping...
Black 512, game controller, and buds live ... unlocked also the first time I've bought a phone straight out, other than the nexus 6p lol
128 Bronze, Watch 3, Buds Live (both black) and a case. Nothing has shipped yet, seems on my invoice all will ship "by" 19th and est delivery on 21st.
Pre ordered my 512Gb black as soon as it was possible. Got a military discount of $108.75, not much but better than nothing. Didn't do a trade in, just paid for it all. About the 4th or 5th one I've ordered direct from Sammy, the others I ordered the T-Mobile variant but I got the unlocked one this time. Less bloat to get rid of and from what I've read it will have wifi calling and volte, only thing missing is video calling and I always disable it via adb anyway. Hopefully will ship before the 19th, don't know but fingers crossed.
128 bronze through TMobile. I have the galaxy buds plus. Thinking about the live. They seem more comfortable I guess. Also does anyone know if you can use an Xbox controller on the note for gamepass? Probably a silly question since you can use it on iOS for apple arcade.

I ordered Verizon Note 20 Ultra 128 GB Mystic White and used my credit on the White Bud lives. Phone and buds have a ship date of Aug 19 but my email states phone will arrive on Aug 21 and buds on Aug 24.. Not sure why that is when both items are on the same invoice and I ordered the day before pre-order opened because of my reservation
Same boat as alphamega. Ordered the verizon N20U, 128gb, bronze, through samsung the day before official release. Shop App says everything is shipping by the 19th, but online it says the phone gets here on the 21st, and the case and buds/uv/charger get here on the 24th. Who knows, I'd guess it'll all change by the time things start moving from warehouses.
Ordered 128gb white with buds live and a case. I wanted to wait to see the watch 3 review before ordering, I will trade in my gear s3 to get $100 off.

This is the first time I also order through Samsung. The JOD plan was asking too much as a down. I did it for the Note 10+ but no way I'm going to do a $550 down payment on it. Like some have said, hopefully we don't see any shipping delays.

I ordered bronze 128gb with the galaxy buds. Would have ordered different accessories, but it looked like it was charging an extra $50 for them. Got an email later saying they would credit me the $50 but it’s too late to change the order now. Bought from Sammy nearly every year. Note 7 I think shipped a week early. Wish that was the case this time around. Using my daughter’s crappy old iPhone since my son lost his phone a couple of weeks ago. Kids...

I have a friend who has been working there for a while and they feel it's a way to get people off the plans as they can just increase the monthly payment for it. The program was not really sustainable but it was a way to bring customers in. At one point, they had told their reps not to offer the JOD plans unless the customers asked for it. But I knew from the beginning it wasn't going to last.
