AT&T Nexus 6 bug that caused recall, shows phone running Android KitKat, wrong model number

AT&T-nexus-6-kitkat

We reported earlier that Motorola is recalling the initial batch of Nexus 6 devices that made their way to AT&T stores. The reason was a bug that made the screen go black and the phone not connect to the AT&T network. If yo’re interested in seeing what is it like, someone over at Reddit posted a video showing what the bug in question does to the phone.

First, the Nexus 6 shown has the the same model number as the Droid MAXX/Ultra which is XT1080. The AT&T Nexus 6, as far as we know, has a model number of XT1103. The device is running Android 4.4.4 KitKat which is quite surprising since it is supposed to have Android Lollipop. The build number shown is shamu_factory-userdebug 4.4.4 KXH21.6-F1.8 18 whereas the one I own shows LRX210.

It seems like the gentleman in the video was not aware that Moto was recalling their phones. His phone looks like a developer phone in userdebug mode which is described by Google as “like “user” but with root access and debuggability; preferred for debugging.”

If you’re phone is suffering from this issue, we suggest you request an exchange or simply return your phone. We hope Motorola’s quality assurance team would have done a better job than this. And we also think this bug may have to do with AT&T messing with Google’s Android Lollipop and Nexus 6 – We’re assuming here of course.

My AT&T Nexus 6 has been flawless so far. How about yours?

Initial shipments of AT&T branded Nexus 6 being sent back due to software bug

nexus-6-att-logo

It looks like AT&T has some issues with its initial batch of Nexus 6 devices. According to Droid Life, Motorola is asking the carrier to ship whatever inventory its stores is carrying. The reason behind this is a bug that forces the phone’s screen to become black and impacts the connectivity to the AT&T network.

nexus-6-AT&T-bug

AT&T sent an internal memo to its stores to alert them about the situation. It says that they need to return the initial Nexus 6 stock immediately and that Motorola has “identified the root cause of the issue and is currently working on shipments with correct software.” If your phone is experiencing this issue, you should get it replaced at your local AT&T store.

If you still want to place an order, your AT&T rep can do so via their Direct Fulfillment Process. Otherwise, you can alway hit up a nearby Best Buy or buy it from Amazon.

Maybe this would’ve happened if AT&T wasn’t too busy trying to finagle with the OS? What do you guys think?

A quick look at the AT&T Nexus 6 boot animation

nexus-6-AT&T-boot-animation

As you may know already, I ordered a Nexus 6 from AT&T this past week. I received it yesterday and the first thing I’ve done was turning it on. To my dismay, AT&T somehow finagled their jingle within the boot animation. If you were looking for a pure Android experience with the AT&T model, you probably want to rethink that. Don’t get me wrong this is still a Nexus phone, an altered Nexus phone.

Want to remove the boot animation? You must root your Nexus 6. Once you do that, you need to access the boot file using a file manager of your choice (something like Root Explorer). Full instructions can be found here. It should take less than a minute to do.

Are willing to root your shiny Nexus 6 to remove the AT&T jingle? Let us know down below.

Confirmed: The AT&T Nexus 6 sports the carrier’s logo on the back and boot animation

AT&T-Nexus-6-logo

As we all feared, AT&T has indeed slapped it’s logo on the back of the Nexus 6. Like seriously, why did you have to do that?

Wait. That’s not all. AT&T also included their boot animation along with the Google one. I am actually one of their customers who decided to give them a shot after being off contract for years. I must say that I’m disappointed.

Sure you can unlock the bootloader (it is unlockable by the way), root and flash the Google Play Store Nexus 6 factory image. But why do I have to do it?

XDA member “HCDroid” posted pictures of his AT&T Nexus 6 and voiced his disappointment with his findings (link below).

What do you guys think? What if AT&T gets involved in future OS updates?

My phone is going back. Lesson learned.

AT&T to sell the Nexus 6 32GB for $249 on contract, $682.99 outright?

nexus-6-multiple

Although AT&T hasn’t said when they’ll carry the Nexus 6, someone over at Reddit shed the light on pricing. He or she claims that they work for AT&T. We’ll take their word for it with a little salt on the side.

For the 32GB model, you will have to shed a mere $682.99 (+tax) if you don’t want to be tied to a contract – that’s $33.99 (actually $22.98 because Google charges $10 for shipping) more than the Google Play Store. The contract price will be $249. And if you’d like to use AT&T Next, you will be looking at $34.15 a month for 12 months, or $28.46 a month for 18 months.

There was no word about if a 64GB version of the Nexus will be available. We also received word that pre-orders should start sometimes this week with an availability around November 21. It shouldn’t be too long folks.

AT&T tweet says you can pre-order the Nexus 6 today

att-nexus-6-tweet

The Nexus 6 sold out within minutes once it became available in the Play Store. Many Android fans including myself are disappointed about how Google handled the whole pre-ordering process. The general consortium is that we may see it on November 12 – at least from T-Mobile. AT&T is the other carrier that is set to offer the phone. As usual, they like to wait, and make us wait before they announce anything.

About 4 hours ago, AT&T Care responded to an AT&T customer asking about when they’ll offer the Nexus 6. This is their response:


The link given by Ma Bell directs to the Nexus 6 page which has been the same for a little while. They also posted another response.

We’re told that the Nexus 6 will sell for $199 on contract. If that it the route you want to go, keep checking this page.

AT&T bumps data caps on $40 and $70 Mobile Share Value plans

At&t-double-data

It looks like AT&T is in a generous mood lately. Following their data doubling promo on shared plans, they’re doing the same thing to the $40 and $70 Mobile share Value plans – 2GB ($40) becomes 3GB and 4GB ($70) is now 6GB. This is not bad if you were considering joining AT&T.

AT&T mentions that ”If you buy a smartphone on AT&T NextSM and sign up for the Mobile Share Value plan with 3GB of data, you’ll pay $65 a month for your wireless service on that smartphone.” If you do the math, it’s $40 (3GB) a month for the plan plus $25 for the phone.

To make things even sweeter, the double data offer has been extended to November 15, 2014. Current and new customers who have family and business plans can take advantage of it by reaching out to AT&T. For more information, hit the source link below.

Motorola’s Nexus 6 shows up on AT&T’s site with a contract price of $49.99

nexus-6-att

Guys, the rumors about the Motorola Nexus 6 are dissipating, making place for more concrete evidence. And what’s not better than an actual major U.S. carrier such as AT&T showing the phone on its website. It even gave it its own SKU and URL. The SKU is 7330571 and URL is https://www.att.com/cellphones/motorola/nexus-6.html#sku=sku7330571 by the way.

Clicking on the above address will not take you to the Nexus 6 listing. You’d have to take a different route. You need to go to the LG Vigor page and then look on the right of the page and scroll down a bit until you see a widget with the wording ‘Motorola Nexus.’ Don’t worry too much about the LG G3 Vigor picture though-at least for now.

Don’t hold your breath on the pricing yet. AT&T is probably getting ready to make its own announcement and nothing is final yet.

This is great news folks. It looks like Google is going to sell its Nexus 6, not only via the Play Store, but also through major carriers like AT&T – maybe that Verizon N6 is real after all.

Man it feel like Christmas….Is your wallet ready?

AT&T to double data allotment on shared plans starting tomorrow

att-4g-lte

If you consider yourself a heavy data user and are an AT&T customer, tomorrow may the day you have been waiting for. AT&T is going to run a promotion where it doubles its data allotment on its shared value plans starting tomorrow, September 28th and ending on October 31st. This offer is good for both new and current customers.

Perhaps, the best plan in my opinion is the $130 one. With 2 lines, you get unlimited talk and text along with 15GB of data per month. If you enroll in the new deal, your data limit jumps to 30GB. Any additional devices you may want to add will cost you $15 per month. These plans do not come with contract tied to them. In fact, you can bring your device and sign up if you’re new to the network. If you however already have a shared data plan, a simple phone call or drive to AT&T will get your data doubled.

I have one of those grandfathered plans (2 lines for $155) with the unlimited data – which throttles when I reach 5GB every month and I pay $30 for unlimited text. I am seriously considering jumping to a shared data plan. I will head to my local AT&T store tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

galaxy-alpha-att galaxy-alpha-att-1

Announced four days ago, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha is now available from AT&T and other authorized retailers for $199 when you sign a 2 year contract. This is Samsung’s attempt at competing with the iPhone 6. The Korean manufacturer moved from using plastic components to using metal.

It weighs 4.03 ounces and measures 5.23 x 2.58 x 0.26 inches (iPhone 6 sits at 5.44 x 2.64 x 0.27 inches, weighs 4.55 ounces). It will be available in 3 colors: Charcoal Black, Dazzling White and Frosted Gold.

Along with the $199 contract price, AT&T customers can take advantage of the Next program where the payments are $30.65 for 12 months or $25.55 for 18 months. Otherwise, the outright price is $612.99.

galaxy-alpha-att-black

AT&T and Samsung announced today the release of the Galaxy Alpha. As you may already know, this phone was announced back in august for an international release without giving us a U.S. street date.

The Alpha line of phones is unlike the Samsung devices we know. The Korean company decided to move from the plastic materials, they accustomed us to with the Galaxy S5 and other Galaxy devices, to a more subtle and premium type of build. When it comes to specs, the Galaxy Alpha is no chump. Here is the list:

  • 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 display

  • 32GB of internal storage (no microSD slot)
  • 1,860 mAh battery
  • 12-megapixel rear camera
  • 2.1-megapixel front camera

If some folks out there are bragging with how thin and light their iPhone 6 is, the Galaxy Alpha is 0.2 mm thinner and 14 grams lighter. It definitely takes thinness to another level. It will sell for $199 with a two year contract, or $612.99 if you buy it outright. If you’re a fan of AT&T Next, you can pay $25.55 per month on Next18 (18 months) or $30.65 per month Next12. Color-wise, you have Charcoal Black, Dazzling White or Frosted Gold.

If you haven’t gotten the prompt to update your S5, you can manually try to get it by hitting Settings> About Device> Software Update> Check For Updates. AT&T says to verify if the build number is KOT49H G900AUCU2ANG3 and the kernel version is 3.4.0-2178781 after the installation. Have you gotten it yet?
