Just got my shipping notification for my 6P!

I ordered mine before the site was even posted here and still pending. wtf

Google punishing you for jumping the gun.

Did you order through a deep link? Meaning the site wasn't really live to the public?
I had access to the deep link and waited until the site went live for everyone. Didn't want to take chances that something in the backend was not active or working as it should've.

 

[rc213]

Seriously fuck Google again for a shitty launch. I'm guessing they won't ship more until next Friday. I don't recall seeing that they were shipping the 5x throughout the week.

The site was live as far as I know. Someone posted the 5x link then I changed it to 6p at the end and ordered immediately when I saw it worked.

So I got my phone yesterday, but I'm having a problem. The calendar crashes as soon as I open it most of the time. If it doesn't, it crashes as soon as I try to do something inside it. I was looking at alternative calendars, but it seems like they all use Google Calendar as their base. Are there any calendar programs that are completely independent of Google Calendar?

Also, is there a way to stop all programs from doing anything on the internet? When I looked up this issue, there were tons of hits about syncing issues. I don't want anything on my phone syncing with anything anywhere.

I said it before but Google launches seem totally random.

This better not fuck me over.

Used my 5X a bit today. It's a lot longer than the Moto X 2014 and harder to hold and MUCH lower build quality. But lighter and better running all around. Excited to have it. Selfie camera is good.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

My case for the 6P is in processing now, but not the phone lol.

That's some bullsheeeeeeeeiiiit.

Maybe they just know you're going to sell based on search history and managed to associate you with this GAF account. Google knows.

 

[Wreav]

Got some new phone feels today

6S+

Pretty jelly of the 6P crew.

I have a 32gb 6P ordered with Nexus protect but I'm tempted to cancel it and order a 64gb version from Huawei but it won't have the protection plan. My phone now it 32gb and not close to full but Im really careful. On the other hand I know is be upset if I broke it and didn't have the plan.

Help a brother out with a decision.

Got my 5x today and I'm coming from a 2014 Moto X as well. The phone is taller but slightly narrower, and I prefer it because it's narrow.

Do you need a new phone with the quickness or just want a new one? If the latter, and your current phone is still chugging along, I'd wait until the 64gb 6p is back in stock on the Google Store if you really want the protection plan.

I have a iPhone 5s. It's fine but this would be my shift to android. I pretty much ordered the 32 gb to get the $50 google play card before it expired.

Yeah reading through the results it seemed like the LG G4 did well and came in first in several photos, but it brought up the rear. Well all 4 phones are great for smartphone cameras.

So sounds like 5x is hard to use one handed?

Not at all. It's tall for a 5.2" screen, but its really thin and it's narrower than the Moto X 2014 that I'm coming from. The size works well for me.

It's wider than the Moto 2014, 72.6 vs 72.4 mm.

I see. Well, keep the 6p until the 64gb version is in stock. Sell the 32gb one and use the money to cover the 64gb one. That way you'll still get to keep the play credit since it's tied to your account.

Awww jeah ~~ Google Store order history says that my Aluminum sexP just shipped!

How fast is Google shipping? Next day? 4-5 business days?

I wait with breath that is baited...

Depends where you are and what you paid for.

Here there's no option other than 1-3 days free shipping

I thought that too looking at the specs, but I have both and the Nexus 5s is narrower...

lol the comments meltdown is glorious

 

[BastardSamurai]

Based off a quick skim of the 6P subreddit, it seems like 32GB and some 64GB phones started shipping today.

My 128GB still says pending. =(

 

[Wreav]

I hadn't even looked but hooooooo boy. Proves accurate colors and good dynamic range are the preferred metrics, even if the user can't quantify those terms.

My 64GB is still pending .

Statistics explained :
Lower education = lower salaries = can't afford any flagship = buys a cheaper phone = no iPhones available.

That commenter should just have said Android=plebs.

My 64GB is still pending .

Mine is still in "processing". They said that processing can take 1-2 business days.
Mines will probably ship Monday. The charge in my card is just "pending".
Hope they ship it out of IL. Supposedly some of the 5X units shipped from IL.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Omg processing, process.....oh its the official case

Wah wah

 

[Jazzy Network]

Just realized that LG will have released 3 flagships this year when the V10 is available. They trying to out Sony, Sony?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

My case just shipped .

Well, I have bought a Samsung Note 5, white and 64GB. So far much happier with it than the OP2. If anyone is interested in the OP2 it is for sale in the trade/sale thread in Gaming Community for $410 shipping in the US, others ask for shipping quote.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Picked up a G4 this week. Im new to Android so it has been a bit of an adjustment. Really liking the phone so far.

Note 5 apparently getting an update that claims to improve battery performance.

 

[hitgirl]

The top of my 5X rattles. If I drop it on a bed, or sort of shake it around. Don't really know what it is. Maybe the vibrate thing is there?

date versace baby nexus rattle.

 

[reKon]

Still very happy with my phone. It was easy not upgrading during #theyearofskip. Next year the flagships ate lining up to be awesome. It will just be a matter of hoping a 5 inch flagship still exists... Or a Xperia Compact Z6..

Make sure to debloat and do all the performance tweaks to make it a much smoother, faster experiencem

I think I may have done some of that, battery is better then when i first got it. Is there a list of things i should get rid of? I turned of the the LG smart panel for starters.

 

[hitgirl]

I'm rubbing this dumb NFC camera all over my 5X because I'm a dumbass and don't know where the NFC chip is on the 5x..
