Buying from Motorola? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was luckily able to buy a Nex 6 from Motorola a few weeks ago. I did notice today though on the play store page for the Nex 6 you get benefits such as free Google play all access for 6 months. So does the one I bought from Motorola receive these things or not?

I did the same I would like to know as well.

No but one plus is that you can buy motocare insurance which is pretty cheap as far as insurance goes.

I got mine from motorola today, I can confirm that you get 6 months play access free, as well as the free movie download (gravity) and a free e-book. I also plan on buying motocare, it's $139 up front for 2 years and allows 3 replacements for $39 a pop.
edit: this does not apply if you are already a subscriber or, I believe, have used the other free month trial.

Well done Google for looking after previous customers. I am waiting for the white to hit the UK store can't wait. No free bumper currently on the UK store for the black product so I guess the store may see the update next week.
I order another Nexus 4 on the 30th and they just told me the promotion started the 31st of May so I didn't qualify but they said they would look into it. Thanks for the tip though!

Just called them and they refuse to send me one since I purchased a black phone. Clearly in their FAQ and shows you get a black bumper free if you bought a black phone, or a white one, if you purchased the white version. I asked to speak with a manager or supervisor and I was transferred, rudely told the same thing. I explained that if I could just get a simple $20 refund, it'd be so much more easier on both ends than for us to have to ship items back and forth to one another.
They are offering me the option to return the phone and bumper I purchased just 3 days ago, minus shipping costs, and a 15% re-stocking fee. I'll be spending more money to just get a "free bumper" so forget it.
Google's customer service in comparison to amazon's is quite horrible. I can't believe they didn't offer me promotional credit to google play, or something in return for this unfortunate situation. With Amazon, if a situation like this ever occurred, they'd at least give me MP3 credit for a few songs, or extend my prime membership by a month.

I'm in the same boat as you, with the same issue and conclusion you came to. Even though I like the phone, this is thievery on google's part. Also it was rather asinine to not be able to just refund the purchase price of the bumper.
About to engage costumer support to see who the victor is, my device arrived on the 31st so I may be able to pull some bs based on that :cyclops:
Also I don't think they should be giving bumper refunds for any reason, as I see it is either you should get a bumper or not and I think we should.
am i the only one that feels that people are being greedy in this thread by calling Google thieves because they won't give them something for free because they bought something before a promotion started?

But are they making any more by giving away free bumpers to everyone now? Would they really lose any less by "giving" ones out to people who were unlucky and purchased the phone and bumper separately just days before this promotion?
I feel kind of screwed out of $20 since I just bought the phone a few days ago and they're not offering me any feasible solution.
I purchased it in India in a local shop, Google don't sell N4 via play store in India. It's LG who is selling it, So will I get free bumper ??

No, I agree with you. Certainly it depends on the timing of when the Nexus 4 was bought but, speaking from the perspective of someone who works in customer service, these are the types of calls I hate fielding. Why should a company have to compensate you for something you didn't qualify for? There's a certain point where it becomes entitlement and I hate that.

While I agree to some extent, they need to offer a better solution to those who bought the phone and bumper at the same. My gripe is not with getting the free case but seeing that i bought both i should at least be refunded the price of the bumper. Its was literally a day before the promotion, and they want to charge restocking fees, preposterous. In the end I'm not totally up in arms about it, because both are quality made products, its more of the timing.
Is T-Mobile giving the bumper away too?

No more NetFlix 3-Month Trial Offer?? What?! For real??

I was just checking out the Chromecast on the BestBuy website and noticed for the first time that the Netflix 3-Month Trial Offer is no longer listed on the right side of the page under the "Offers"/"Promos" sub-heading...or whatever that sub-heading was called lol Did that NetFlix Trial Offer end or something? What's the deal? This is the first I've seen this. It may have been this way for several days now...I just haven't been aware of it until now! I posted a screenshot from my pc and circled in green where it usually is located...
everyone has known that it would be gone by the end of the month. I guess they just pulled it a couple days early. It was never meant to be a long time offer. Google pulled the plug after a few days at most
Google pulled the offer the day after release. I was lucky Best Buy was still honoring the offer weeks after release.

O2 listing the N5 for just £549.99....

O2 apparently have the network exclusive on the N5 32Gb in the UK, but they're selling it at a £210 markup!
Crazy that Google are allowing this!
https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/phones/lg/nexus-5/
Boooooooooooooooo!!!
They're just shooting themselves in the foot really. People will just go to Google, type in Nexus 5, see it's only £300 elsewhere and make their purchase there.

We can only hope that anyone buying a SIM free N5 knows what the RRP is from Google (it's in stock on the Play store anyway) and won't be drawn in by this ridiculous pricing that's floating around on O2 and eBay!
Im on their 'Refresh' plan was thinking of upgrading even though i only just got my HTC One in August.
Then i saw this!
£32 on 3G.
£12 for the tariff
£20 for the phone
32x24 = 768 plus one of fee of 49.99
£818 over 2 years
It's ridiculous. I was tempted to get a Nexus 5 from Carphone Warehouse until I found out that they only have 16GB edition. O2 have exclusivity on the 32GB and this allows them to get away with jacking up the price waaay up. Bad O2, very bad.

With a nearly new HTC One, provided you haven't damaged it you should be able to sell it for enough to get a N5 SIM free anyway.
I don't see how o2 can market this as an exclusive when Google is selling it too.. plus the price difference.
Rip-off, plus you end up with a phone hobbled to O2

I read that O2 have exclusivity for 32GB GB on the UK high street, ie not online.
So quite possible it will be available via amazon.co.uk. I'm gonna wait and see and if so buy via amazon as I think I then will have better customer service should I need to return it if its faulty. I know you can return to google but I feel happier dealing with amazon when a physical item is being posted to me.
are they giving away any tv this year?

I ordered two with the intent of doing this, but availability is so much better than the N4 with it being sold in almost every UK phone outlet.
I think the eBay sales are coming from countries where it isn't available just yet and the hassle of sending there is never worth it for me.

Fyi for those who may have not pulled the trigger in buying the G2 the droidlife story helios posted has an additional promotion code you can use at checkout for additional $50 off. If it works then this phone would be free!

I hope you get it. However I read people are getting emails from amazon saying they are not honoring this glitch even with people showing statuses of shipping. Fingers crossed
I have done no work today because of this phone crazyness.
Amazon would just eat those as a loss in profit. I wonder how many of them got sold. Either way, good catch for the ones that got it for 199 off contract.

Please correct me if I am wrong. I read that Verizon 4G phones come unlocked and that I can use a Verizon LG G2 on another carrier. So can I buy this phone from Verizon (for free) and then just pay the ETF and go use it on TMobile?

Another Verizon tip. If you're upgrading from a previously unlimited data line to 2GB of data, ask about Verizon Max (might be spelled Maxx). You get 6GB of data for the 2GB price. Got it for both mine and my wife's phone (that's 6GB per phone, not shared between the two of us). I had to call the customer support line as the store guys didn't know about it (3rd party vendor), and you'll need to go through a verification process that takes a couple days. But once done you'll have 6GB of data for $30 per month.

They will price match. I called verizon to get a refund. Just bought the phone on monday..
If they try to give you ****, you have 14 days to return the phone.
Return your phone. Then say, you know what, Id like to get that phone again.. =D bam..
but seriously, they should be able to knock it down or give you credit.
Verizon guarantees price match within 14 days of activating. I paid 200, got the 50$ off last week, just missed the other 100$ and 50 with code. So, I paid 150.

Any reason to not order from Google Play Store?

With preorders starting soon where should I be ordering? I was planning on just ordering on the Play Store because that is where I ordered my Nexus 5 and 7 (2012). I'm currently on T-Mobile and have enough money to pay cash. Would there be any advantages in ordering somewhere other than the Play Store? I know the Play Store charge for shipping and Tax. I like that they have offered free screen replacement for the Nexus 5 recently. Even though I have never broken a screen on a phone before. I have been happy with google's service in the past. Any advice?
I will order it from whomever can it to me the fastest, but in this case it will probably be google.
In my opinion, if you have the ability to order from the Play Store, then that's where you should get it from. Google has great customer service and a great warranty policy, and you only get to take advantage of that if you order it directly from them.
Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk
Tax is really the only reason not to order from Play. You'll be waiting a few months before finding a place that you could get it from without paying tax and then you have to worry about poor customer service. Eat the tax and buy it straight from Google.

Exactly. I kind of see the tax and shipping as the cost of their great warranty policy. I had to warranty my N5 a couple weeks ago and the process was completely painless. I called them at like 3pm, and I had the replacement on my doorstep the very next day. That's some crazy fast replacement shipping.

As a Verizon customer, I fear that may end up being sufficient reason not to order from the Play Store. I really want to nab one ASAP, but if the Play Store version doesn't work on Verizon, I'll end up having to go through the hassle of returning it and buying from Verizon. :/

I know there was an option for quicker delivery. I feel kind of dumb because I can't remember which shipping option I chose (standard or rush). From the price, I'm thinking I may have chosen quick shipping as it looks like it shipped 2nd Day Air via UPS. What I can tell you is that it shipped from Lousville, KY on December 24th, and arrived on my doorstep December 27th.
I believe when I ordered my nexus 5 on launch day from google it was like $25-$30 for 2nd day. And I believe google is shipping on the 3rd? T-Mobile is the 12th? Just hope you get through to order. Lol

is it really the 3rd? that would be fantastic... but I can't afford it straight from google at the moment... i need to put it on a interest free loan somewhere xD I'm hoping amazon puts the phone up for preorders too. though I don't expect it with their push for firePhlolne
Damn tax plus 14 shipping. That brings it to around 780 dollars. 650 for the 32 GB was already pushing the limit for me (about 715 dollars with tax and shipping I'm estimating). I'm probably gonna have to wait for amazon for this. Amazon also has great customer service and free shipping for prime members so I'll be alright with them. (But then I'm gonna probably regret it later when google does some kind of great deal lol) I guess I'll decide tomorrow

Don't forget that if you get it from Play Store, then Google will replace it for free if anything goes wrong. I don't know if this is official policy but I've had friends use it and its excellent service. e.g. one friend complained his N5 wasn't getting gps signal regularly, sent it back and they sent him a new one.
So if paying full price, I'd rather get it from Google vs Amazon etc.
They will replace it, but with a refurbished model. It says so in the google play store terms of service.
Not that it's a bad thing, just giving people more clarity on this.
