Nexus 6p bent - Nexus 6P General

I am sitting at work at my desk and I have my phone screen up, I get a couple texts and I DT2W so I can see who they are from. As I do that my phone teters, I notice it immediately and pick it up to see if there was anything under it, nope all smooth, so then I think it's maybe the case wasn't formed evenly (Supcase) so I take the phone out and put the case on the desk, no wobble. So then I lay the phone down and sure enough it wobbles when tapping a corner. It's not bent like you see when people keep their phone in their back pocket and sit on it. Mine is more twisted. When looking at the phone, the top left and bottom right will sit on the table and not wobble, but if you press either the top right or bottom left the phone will wobble back and forth.
I keep my phone in my front pocket and take it out when sitting down,I do sometimes keep it in my pocket when working in attics and such and I have crushed it pretty good when doing so. It's not a major twist and you can't tell when just looking or holding the phone, hopefully it doesn't get any worse.
Anyone else notice this on their phones?
I gave it a firm twist the opposite way and it seems pretty straight now. Maybe even a little bent the opposite way now, dammit haha.

That's wild! Amazing you were able to twist it back ok....

Mine does the same thing whenever I remove my case to clean out the pocket lint. Removing the case puts a lot of stress on the corners and twists it, but it usually goes back to normal after waiting a day or two, or if I twist it back.

heard that removing the case on the opposing side of the power and volume helps.
Sucks for you guys. Mine is still flat

I always remove the left side (opposite of the buttons) first, then install the case right side (buttons side) first to avoid putting stress on the buttons. It doesn't bend badly, just enough to wobble when on the table. It almost always sorts itself out after about a day or so.
Mine is currently flat too, until I remove the case for cleaning again...

I guess mine could be from the case too. It is pretty hard to get in and out.
Mines flat for the time being. But now that I've seen it bend I think I will catch myself checking every so often now.

These phones are pretty notorious for bends/warps. There was a thread about it since the beginning that was since locked because of trolls. Both my phones ended up with kinks near the volume button. Never got worse than that though. I'll probably never buy huwaii again though

Haha. Mine wasn't bent yet (I'm on 6p #2) but I read this thread and got jealous and curious and went ahead and intensionally sat on mine omw home from work and now I have that new flex screen. [emoji23] I'm totally kidding. I was using a 5x after my 1st 6p was accidentally broken and man I tell you what this thing blows the 5x off the map sideways. I'd forgotten just how fast and battery friendly the 810 truly. Glad to be back. ?

Ditto, I have the same kink near the volume button. Just bent it back slightly but put a crease in the slanted edge...
Great looking phone but it just the shear size and thickness of the phone I think. The Pixel XL is smaller.

Returning an unlocked DNA

Welp I shattered my screen. I have insurance for it and my new one is already on the way. I am going to return it to the stock rom, but was wondering if there is a way to remove TWRP and get the stock secure kernel back. I know it will still say tampered/relocked but does anybody think there will be any issues when they get this one back?
There is an RUU you can run in the development forum.

It is actually very sturdily built. I got a door slammed on my hand (which was holding the phone) and I dropped it onto asphalt from a height of about 6 feet. It landed almost completely flat with the glass facing down. Just bad luck on my part. I ordered a case for it, but it hadn't arrived yet. The back of the phone is covered in a silicone that is very grippy. I will say the glass on the front is EXTREMELY slick. It curves to the edges so there is no plastic or metal of any sort on the front panel. Its solid glass. When I set it on top of my closed laptop while face down it will gradually slide off even though the incline is just a few degrees away from perpendicular. I don't consider this to be an issue with build quality whatsoever. The only reason I consider it strange is because there is a notification light on the back, but I dont trust it to sit facedown anywhere due to fears that it will slide off just about any surface that isnt 110% flat. It feels better under my thumbs than any other phone I have ever had and the screen seems to resist getting covered in fingerprint smears. Its very stylish and looks gorgeous, just something to be aware of.

So you're saying the battery gets you through the day, but it has bad battery life? And you posting this in a radom thread, away from peoples screen shots of 20 hours and 5 hours of screen on time. I would say that you are a troll that doesn't even own the phone, but I think most likely you're a robot from Samsung or Apple sent to spam the DNa forums. Now, if I could only figure out what you're advertising...other than ignorance and misinformation ...

So to say the least I have beaten this phone pretty hard.. Dropped it more times than any other phone and no cracks just dings but what happened today takes the prize...
So i was in the shower with the phone on the sink counter and my alarm started going off, I heard it going off for maybe a straight minute and then all I heard was bam bam PLUNK. the damn thing vibrated itself off the counter bounced off the toilet paper roll straight into the toilet... Completely emerge the phone was still on, alarm was still going, and everything still works!! (after taking it apart and letting a fan blow on it for a bit)
Never had this happen before but it seems I got lucky!

Indeed, mine progressed today to the point the screen does not register any input. I can't wait for my replacement to arrive, my old 3GS is exceptionally painful to use.
I've a chip in the plastic next to the volume rocker, and a small split where the glass casing and sides meet. Fixed by cheap case.

Agree with the others here. The phone is just too damn slick to put a case on, for me at least. I love a naked phone and will take the chance. However I try to be extremely concious and careful when taking it in and out of my pocket. If its not in there then its on my desk nice and flat nowhere near an edge lol.
I'm not gonna push my luck though. Glass back and glass front? I feel like if it hit the ground in any way shape or form its gonna break. Super slick phone but super delicate. However I wouldnt have it any other way.

I don't consider this good advice. My phone slipped out of my jacket pocket as I was taking it off and it hit the ground with a bottom corner which sent an arched crack up the bottom portion of my phone in the glass. It's not shattered or falling out of the phone, but it's still fragile.

Beware the low-friction hazard

Hey guys. Just thought I'd give you a headsup here.
I've had a bunch of phones (listed in my signature), but I have never encountered this before.
The other day as I was gaming I kept bumping my hand into my phone over and over. This has never happened before, despite that I normally put it on the far corner of the mouse surface to have it readily accessible. I didn't think any of it first and just moved it up, thinking that maybe I accidentally moved the surface or such, causing the phone to move.
Then in some downtime in the gaming I looked down and realized the phone was moving. My god! There was practically zero friction! My phone was just gently gliding around the mouse surface, lolygaging about. I had a little fun with it, poking the phone to make it slide a different direction and making my cat freak out with it.
I then put it to the side on the table, thinking that my hardshell mouse surface was probably so low friction that it made the phone slide around. But the same thing happened on my wooden desk. It kept sliding around. Then I turned it over with the display upwards, and it was fine.
This morning same thing happened, and it actuall slid off the edge of my kitchen counter (marble) and into the floor! The phone is fine, by some kind of miracle, but I was surprised it managed to pick up enough speed to not get stuck on the edge of the counter. I tried pouring some water on the counter to see if it was leaning, but nope. Flat on both according to the water and a spirit level.
My only conclusion is that the phone is so flat all around, including bezels, that it creates a small air bubble underneith it, which it then slides on. The feeling is that of an air cushion as well.
I realize most people probably dont put it display down, but if you do, be aware of this. My phone almost jumped to its death by it, surviving only by a guardian angel. I thought about it and decided it was a big enough risk to give people the headsup.
Stay safe G2'rs!

Good to know. Where I am, they only sell cases for QuickWindow (last I checked). I bought one, but it is taking a while to get used to holding the phone when talking since I can't wrap my fingers around the phone.
I was considering taking it off, but that notion is no longer in my head thanks to your post. BTW, you should post some vid on messing with the cat!
Hah, I just might. She's like.. "Oh, looks like fun", pokes it a bit, notices how it doesn't act as expected and is all like "BLAARGH" smashing it around and trying to kill it. xD
The screen is very silky, compared to my S3, Atrix, Kindle and my friends HTC 8S.

So what you're saying is glass is slippery? In other news the sun will set in the west tonight. Just kidding, but I wouldn't ever put my phone face down without some type of case to keep the glass from contacting anything bad. The Nexus 4 was extremely slippery, the way LG is making curved edges on the screens doesn't help in that regard.
Well, I've learnt to put mine screen down to protect it from things falling on it. The nature of my job means things may well fall on it. I use a screen protector film anyways.
And yes, glass can be slippery but doesn't have to be. None of my other phones have had this kind of behavior, probably due to them having a slight lift from the frame, keeping the glass off the actual surface.
Regardless, for some its a non-issue, but for those that it might affect, I thought I'd share.
Hoverboards are next. I can feel it.

This is a good point. I usually flip my phone screen down at night so the notifications LED isn't lighting up the room. Needless to say, my dog wasn't very amused when the phone slid off the nightstand and woke her up.

So I'm not alone! Lets hope someone saves a screen at least.
thanks for the headsup, on low friction surfaces things slide.
You check if you need to level your furniture so gravity doesnt make things slide
a case would help as well
Pretty common occurence also on the shiny plastic Samsung devices Even iPhones suffer from it.
Again, it's most likely due to the curved glass edge of the LG screen. I prefer the curved glass, and my best suggestion to those that need to put their phone face down due to work hazards should probably put a case on the phone. If heavy things have a chance of falling on it, it's probably a good idea the phone is either in a case or in your pocket. Just friendly advice so please don't take it as otherwise.
I had the GNex before so wasnt an issue...but day 1 with the phone. Put it face down on the counter top like I had always done before and got in the shower. My wife comes in and all the sudden.....BAM! My phone hits the ground. (thankfully on the mat!) She said she saw it kinda "gliding" towards the edge. Low and behold, this thing almost floats face down on any slick surface. I almost never put it face down anymore...lesson learned.

WTF- My flagship phone is bent

So, I've been reading all the news on the 6P---cracking glass, "flexible" backs, easy scratches. I normally carry my phones in my back pocket and never intend sitting with it there. However, I'm sure there have been a few occasions when I've sat and very quickly notice it's there and removed it. Well, tonight I was admiring my little graphite and noticed what appeared to be a very slight bend. I couldn't believe it---thought it was an optical illusion so I set it down on my desk and then saw it. My phone no longer was flat against the desk top. A very slight wobble had developed.
WTF.
I've had soooo many phones and never had this happen before. I had the Nexus 6 and still have the iphone 6s Plus. So, I'm not stranger to big phones. I haven't treated this phone any differently. Every phone has been in a case too. Currently, I'm using a ringke case on my 6P. I guess I'll keep it and just baby the **** out of it. I was able to gently bend it back, but now I'm concerned all the news is true. Cheap chinese crap.
This isn't a flagship phone at all. mod edit

After seeing the bend thread I tried my iPhone 6 + and my Nexus 6, the former I've had since only March and don't use as my daily driver, both phones when flat on the table will wobble when you press them, in fact the iphone is actually noticeably bent. I think slight bends have been happening for years we just haven't noticed them.

I agree with you on "slight bends have been happening for years we just haven't noticed" Just checked on my iPhone6+ and yeah it doesn't sit flat on may table (check the table and the table is flat). I have never put it in my back pocket, but I'm pretty sure the constant pressure from being in a back pocket would speed up the "bending" process even more so if the pants are tight.

That demo unit has probably had every person, including strong people, trying to bend it now that there a tool posting FUD videos. I wouldn't trust it. Mine is extremely solid, can't budge it with modest effort. Obviously I'm not going to try with all my strength, that would be idiotic.

Yup, with the additional length of this phone, even in deep front pockets, I've caught myself having to stop when sitting to readjust as the phone catches a bit on my hip. Pulled out the phone several times to notice it looks slightly tweaked. Laying down on the table it rocks. Push just ever so slightly on the two corners that wobble and it straightens out.
It's clearly got some flexing but if it's not a permanent bend, nor impacts the functionality of the phone, what's the big deal? Just tweak it if it bothers you.

I dropped my 6P on concrete & barely any damage

This phone is tough I don't know why people are claiming it is bending or breaking easily.
Last night I dropped my phone from face height onto concrete. A loud bang as it hit the ground and the Sim card came flying out. I assumed it was dead.
Picked up the phone and no broken glass anywhere. Not even a scratch.
Popped the sim back in and it is working fine.
Only two little chips in the paint job on one corner of the phone from that brutal drop. Posted pics of the little cosmetic damage on top right of phone.
Tested camera and no issues. Can't believe this huge screen and the camera glass survived a five+ foot drop onto concrete in the rain!
Sorry photo quality is lacking. I had to use my wife's iPhone to take the pics
mine folded in half then did a back spin and blew up into a million pieces, this was after a lighter was put to the screen accidentally just before i dropped it
On a serious note, good to see that it can withstand a bit of damage! I have mine in a case and a glass screen protector so hopefully im covered

This phone is tough I don't know why people are claiming it is bending or breaking easily.

For the same reason you just claimed it's tough. There's lucky, unlucky, and somewhere in between. One thing I've learned about the internet is no one likes the middle option. Either the phone is durable, or the phone is trash, but never the middle. Things are assumed based on one event on either side of the spectrum.
That's good to see actually but I'm still too worried to use it without a case. It looks like it was a corner drop too, those are the worst!
Still rockin' that serial number sticker though... heh.

That's how you know it's real
I've dropped mine three times so far.
Twice onto carpet and once onto floorboards probably from about two feet each time.
Haven't got a mark..
Not saying its indestructible but its definitely not delicate
So you're telling me you dropped you phone and it didn't shatter the gorilla glass, or bent in half as a result.
This will surely drive those people freaking out about the quality of the build nuts. Lol

I've dropped mine 3-4 times from 1m. Back glass has a crack in the middle now not visible very good but the glass panel in the back definetely splitted in 2. No influence on function and it holds in olace for now...

I smell a conspiracy, I bet you're secretly being paid by Huawei and or Google to counteract all the recent bending & shattering hysteria ?

To be honest I really think it's media fueled hysteria. They should just check the numbers and statistics. If it's 1 in 10000 devices then it's just nohing...

All the cool kids keep the stickers on the phone. It's like the nerd equivalent of keeping the sticker on your baseball hat.
you are in good luck, i will put on a case as soon as i get mine
But interwebs sez fone desentigrates on contakt.
I think since the front glass is recessed a bit it would take a big drop directly on the glass to shatter. So basically you have to be unlucky
I dropped mine yesterday onto the kitchen floor from at least 4 feet, probably higher. No damage at all, not even a scratch. I have a case and screen protector on order, but they haven't arrived yet.
It seems like I drop every phone I get before I can get a case on it.

This happened to me once. I had a Nexus 5 and MotoX 2013. Was testing them to decide which I liked best. I was using the twist to launch feature showing off to some friends and the Moto slipped from my hands as I was saying something about how grippy it was. Little did I know, the case I ordered was delivered that day and was sitting in my mailbox. MotoX was fine just dinged on the corner.
Since then I've gotten all my cases before the phones arrived. My 6P. Hasn't been naked since I unboxed it. I just slide part of the case open when I sim swap lol

Are you sure your gorilla glass 4 on your visor didnt spontaneously break right after? I mean right after you dropped it but then decided to place it on the table. When you walked away you didnt hear it crack on its own?
