6p is chinkshit though luckily mine hasn't had any battery issues.
Jack Williams
I'm so fucking happy I sold my 6P or a 6 Plus. At least we can change the battery.
Gabriel Fisher
It will. Don't worry.
Nathan Bennett
You probably just completely sperged out to the Fi rep you autist. If I were in his position I wouldn't give a screeching retard anything for free either. It's not like you were a loyal customer or made them loads of money. Probably because you spent terabytes a month downloading borderline pizza loli porn because >b-b-b-but she said she was 463 years old so thats not illegal. Filthy fuck. Buying the S8+ only shows how many even more retarded decisions you make.
Kayden Wood
>tfw Pixel XL on the way Also, they were still giving out 6Ps or Pixel XLs two weeks ago to everyone who bought the phone from Google, not sure how you managed to fuck that up.

Only couple hundred for new phone, waiting for v30 or a phone that comes out with the 660 chip. Existence is pain
Ryder Thompson
Apparently I'm the last person on the planet with a functioning 6P. The battery has degraded a little but no more than I'd expect from any Li-Ion phone after a few years. I fucking love my 6P, I guess I'm super lucky.
Oliver Flores
It's been almost 2 years
Carson Reyes
Welcome to Sup Forums, newfriend. Next time post to the phoneposter containment thread straight away. Search for "spg" in the catalog
Lucas Brooks
I don't get it, mine has never caused a problem, and lasts 15 hours on a charge. It's a year old now, but I think I'll replace it for the Pixel 2 since it's basically the return of a 6P.
Samuel Flores
Out of interest, do you know any places that service the 6P battery? I wouldn't mind paying a hundred bucks for a fresh battery (two years of daily use has eaten into it a bit) even though I haven't really had the massive battery crash issue.
Google offering free upgrades out of warranty is worth a thread if the iRecede Hairline X was worth twenty seven.
Samuel Carter
>iRecede Hairline X You must be over 18 to post here.

Kevin Taylor
Do it yourself. Go online and buy a new battery and change it yourself
Oliver Perry
I would, but the 6P puts the "NO" in "not user serviceable". Definitely my biggest gripe with it.
Camden Peterson
I'm not doing a laypersons job.
Connor White
>Dies at 15-22% Blatant lie
Luke Cook
mine works too. you only see the complaints. people have better things to do than praise a thing that works fine. maybe in 10 years we will see them praised in an "ancient tech" thread
Evan Baker
That'll happen to any phone where the battery decides to stop calibrating itself, which seems to be one of the Nexus 6P problems. Incredibly oddly, I actually had that issue and it magically resolved itself.
Colton Flores
what is blatant about it you retard? I've had similar issues with past phones
Aaron Hernandez
how do i do this. pls help.
Adam Cooper
THEN THE PROBLEM IS YOU NIGGER
Colton Fisher
The problem actually occurs because the default charge voltage is too high, damaging the cells over time.
James Jenkins
Yes, but a properly functioning phone will detect this and recalibrate what 100% and 0% are, effectively mirroring the decrease in mAh capacity.
Easton Martinez
They're sending me a 32gb xl, I'm in the US My original phone was only 32gb anyways, just going to sell it to buy an iPhone 8 anyways
Ryan Nelson
Literally the only perks of getting a Pixel over a 6P are slightly better hardware and camera. Everything else about the 6P is better.
And to me, it's still the sexiest phone ever made.
Aaron Hall
I actually got my Nexus 6p replaced with another Nexus 6p and that Nexus 6p experience the same issue I called Google yesterday and I am getting a free pixel XL shipped.
Connor Torres
Call Google and tell them that your Nexus 6p randomly shuts down tell them you tried resetting it updating it clearing the cache restarting it all that and not a thing works. The person will then tell you that will see what else we can do they will then tell you the Nexus 6p is out of stock and they will offer you a free replacement pixel XL 32GB in Black only. The phone will ship next day it should arrive in two or so days after you get the phone you have to return your Nexus 6p to them so you don't get charged they provide the shipping label. This also works even if you got a replacement Nexus 6p and that one is fucked to OP.
Ian Flores
aww google pls gib is 5x folks a 5 inch pixel
Hunter Foster
Thanks user, I just got them to replace my broken 6p with a pixel XL
Benjamin Collins
Good to know, glad to help.
Benjamin Ward
Had a Nexus 6 for 2 years never had an issue with it. It was a solid phone.
James Peterson
Flash a new ROM and run a battery calibrater t. 3-4 hours sot Moto X Pure Not running gapps tho so that might help
Logan Perry
If I buy a used 6P can I get this free Pixel XL deal?
Jaxson Hernandez
First Nexus 6P gave me bootloops. Second Nexus 6P had shitty batteries and random crashes.
Google sent me a Pixel XL, brand new, free. I can't even be mad.
Easton Barnes
Does this only work if you bought direct from the Google store?
Sebastian Watson
Yes
Chase Thomas
Open it up and replace the battery.
A toolkit cost $10
Justin Perez
>>find out Google has been replacing 6Ps with Pixel XLs free of charge Wait what? I never heard of this. Can I really get my 6P replaced with a Pixel XL?
Sebastian Parker
yes. they are just clearing out their Pixel XL stock before the Pixel 2 hits the shelves, so it may not last forever. I got a 128gb Pixel XL because they have no 64gb Pixel variant and my 6p was a 64gb, so it was an upgrade all over. but I've heard not every country is getting this, some countries just get replaced with another 6p
Good guy Google doing this when technically out of warranty for these phones and for a problem that is certainly Huawei's fault in their hardware.
OP it sucks for you but you could still get your 6p replaced and then sell the Pixel when you get it.
Brayden Lopez
no, you had to have bought the phone from google, it has to be on your account that you use to get support with
Justin Taylor
Does the phone have to be faulty in order to get it replaced? I don't have battery problems, but it does sometimes randomly hard reboot for no reason.
Nolan Green
lol. this is literally why they are giving out free Pixels to replace them. the phones will randomly shut down at various percentages and there's nothing you can do about it.
Wyatt Thompson
>>yes. they are just clearing out their Pixel XL stock before the Pixel 2
Do I have to send them my old nexus or just ask for it?
Caleb Stewart
something tells me they won't be able to or wont bother doing extensive testing. this issue is intermittent, so if you've seen a random reboot here or there it could get worse. like I doubt they will charge and discharge these phones over and over to confirm the problem rather than just replace the battery or whatever when they get it. they know what the problem is.
you get the pixel and then use that box to send back the 6p. they put a hold on your credit card for the pixels cost until they get the 6p back, so you absolutely have to send it back
Ethan Sanchez
Okayed what the fuck? How do I get into this RMA trade in offer?! I installed lineageOS but physically my phone is fine. Can I still do the trade? Where do I go??
Caleb James
Also should state I bought this off Kijiji but the original owner seemed to have bought it from Google.
Isaac Peterson
They are litterally impossible to open.
Aiden Barnes
Flash stock, then call it call it in. Had mine rooted, TOLD them it was rooted, and they're still sending out a Pxl.
Eli Murphy
And just mention your battery drains really fast. Or something. Guy I talked to DGAF.
Zachary Martin
Not literally, just a bitch. You need to heatgun the cover on the bottom rear, the screws to open it are under there.
Christian Jones
>be me buy oneplus 3t >s8+ comes out >decide to upgrade already to s8+
no regrets
Thomas Wood
Yeah, I've done this before to get another 6p, I heard about this and just told them today that I was having the same issues. Now I'm getting a new pixel XL silver 32 gb. Pretty much the only condition is that you must have bought your phone from Google store and when they give you a link to get your replacement they put an 800 dollar charge on your credit card until they receive the old phone. It's pretty hastle free and easy to do. Their customer service is pretty good. Make sure you tell them multiple times that you already factory reset, already cleared cache and there is no water or drop damage on the phone. If your rep says that he has to call you back after he talks to his supervisor then you should be ok.
Grayson Cooper
My 6P has no issues, so is it worth doing this Pixel XL hack? Is the perf better? I dont want to waste a lot of time doing shit that will only give me comparable perf
Got my 6P with battery problems replaced with a Pixel XL on Tuesday. Enjoying the phone and the free upgrade
Connor Reed
You can remove the bloat with adb, just look up "how to remove Samsung galaxy s8 bloat with adb" The phone is fine to be honest you just need to clean it up But yeah phones should come clean, the pixel XL is retarded looking anyway
Luke Lopez
if I bought my phone from best buy can I still try it?
Kevin Wright
I got a silver 128gb.
Angel Cooper
Lol it sounds like the didn't tell you on purpose, he was a douche
Josiah Gutierrez
Wife's 6P did the same thing. They sent her a Pixel XL replacement
Gabriel Parker
Huh ?? Wait I can get a Pixel XL for free? How?
Brayden Bell
Mine still works perfectly. I don't understand the issues people have ITT
Charles Harris
>32 GB
What the fuck. That's how much porn I have on my 6p right now. That's fucking nothing.
Jace Baker
Werks on my machine, huh?
Juan Miller
I just called Google to replace my 6P (which I bought from Google store Nov 2015), but they said I was out of warranty since last November, so all I can do is call Hauwei.
Any tips to get them to give me what I want?
Brayden Morales
Did you have a 128gb 6P? If not lucky you.
I mostly have photos and apps, have like 20+gb empty. I stream my music and porn.
Christian Harris
Call back again, I got mine replaced with a pixel. My phone is out of warranty. Get someone different, you got some cunt.
Justin Gutierrez
I'm using a 6 with project Fi - battery is show it's age but beyond that it's still a very good phone.
