      Yeah, "refurbished" means infested with adware.

    • freefall101 on 08/09/2018 - 11:00

      To summarise a few, a lot of people received overseas versions that didn't work well in Australia (which isn't listed in the advert), a lot of phones with issues (won't charge, defective screen), and buyer was difficult to contact.

      Definitely a buyer beware situation.

    • Clear on 08/09/2018 - 12:02

      Flashing dodgy ROMs riddled with adware? That's the dodgy crap that Chinese sellers used to do with Xiaomi back in 2014. Very bad.

      Looks like they oversold the product and rushed to get more without losing money. Got a different region and did some googling to find a ROM to cover it up. Unfortunately everyone knows googling for ROMs can be tricky business and they got a dodgy ROM. Rather than thoroughly testing they rushed to send them out before more customers raged.

    • quikstix on 08/09/2018 - 23:50

      yup i wouldn't go near them based on what ive read and seen

  • mooksnook on 07/09/2018 - 18:32

    The G6 64gb says $521- double the price of 32gb!!… it's actually 250 w/gst

    • Kangal on 07/09/2018 - 22:26
      +1

      The rest of the phone prices seem decent, but that's without the context that these are actually used/stolen/broken devices that are made functional again… but they come devoid of the original box/accessories and in a visibly used condition.

      And to think I got mine for $460 back in June 2017, when the specs were considered "high-end" and the design considered "premium".

      Now?
      It's a solid mid-range device, especially with chipsets out there like the QSD 710, devices shipping with AndroidOne, and more and more devices coming with fragile glass design with a notch and locked battery compartments. The faux-speakers are becoming commonplace as well as the adoption of some splashproofing or water resistance in the midrange segment. I guess the worst part is that both Apple and Samsung have increased the price of their flagships quite high, and that has shifted in other OEMs like OnePlus/Xiaomi to increase the price of their midrange phones. So while midrange devices have gotten better than previous, they're now doing so with the budget of previous flagships. So its really a regression and not an advancement, especially if you can think back towards the 2010-2014 era.

  • askme69 on 07/09/2018 - 18:41

    Mmmm Nexus 6P or LG G6?

    Main priority is display quality and camera.

    Which would you choose?

    PS: previously had an LG G4 with boot loop, fixed under warranty.

    Thanks all.

    • Switchblade88 on 07/09/2018 - 18:55

      $184 for a 6P is a very good deal. I can't comment on camera or screen comparison to the G6 having never used it though, but I didn't have any qualms with the quality myself in any way.

      My old Nexus 6P (that's now an active spare) just got updated to 8.1.

      • Trishool on 07/09/2018 - 19:32

        Im assuming you mean it just recharged the September security patch? Nexus 6P updated to 8.1 from 8.0 a few months ago (well, mine did).

        • ozhunter68 on 07/09/2018 - 21:10

          @ozhunter68: Nope. Only security updates until November then that's it.

        • Trishool on 09/09/2018 - 22:42

          @Soapdroid: Looks like that ROM is fairly new, meaning a lot of performance issues and/or bugs. Not something I'd want to install on a phone that is my daily driver.

        • Soapdroid on 11/09/2018 - 11:05

          @Trishool: Either way, it's being worked on. I don't have my 6p anymore, but would feel comfortable running this rom based on comments. If you're not, this rom will likely have improved in a few months to the point that you may.

        • Trishool on 11/09/2018 - 11:07
          +1

          @Soapdroid: Yep I'll definitely check in on that ROM in about 6 months - by that time I'll likely be actively looking for its replacement anyway. Thanks!

    • puzzles2 on 07/09/2018 - 21:13

      Don't get the 6P, I bought one when it was new and had the well known battery shut down issues, after getting a RMA the issue happened with the second phone in about another year. The camera and screen are great, the processor was known to overheat after extended periods.

      I've tried the G6 and it's a much better phone, only cons are the IPS screen (I personally prefer AMOLED), and the worse camera compared to the 6P (Still more than decent). The G6 does have a wide angle camera and waterproofing though, and it's more recent. The G6 recently got Android Oreo and will extremely likely get Pie, but the 6P has reached EOL.

      I understand your priorities are the display and the camera, and the 6P is better in those aspects, but the trade offs of the shitty processor and the battery issues are not worth it at all. I'd get the G6.

      • raisinberry777 on 07/09/2018 - 21:36
        +4

        Second this, run far away from 6P. The battery issues just make it a ticking time bomb where the battery is either dead, or dying. The fact that you can't get an official battery to replace it with makes it unsustainable for long-term use.

      • cucumber on 07/09/2018 - 23:54
        +3

        I was bitter about this a month ago but then I decided to buy a $20 battery off ebay and changed it, now my Nexus 6P lasts more than 1 full day with average use. Happy again.

        • ilikeblue on 08/09/2018 - 00:19

          How did you change it? Isn't it suppose to be non-removable? I don't see any easy way to open the back in any case

        • puzzles2 on 08/09/2018 - 00:24

          @ilikeblue: It's possible, just takes some time and a heat gun. There is a chance of cracking the screen when you do it though. Plenty of tutorials on youtube on how to open the back. Personally, I didn't think it was worth the time and effort, the phone was getting slow enough.

        • jjjia on 08/09/2018 - 07:31

          @puzzles2:

          I got mine replaced by a store in Sydney city. $70 done in 30 minutes. Battery will last until 1% and no more random shut down at 20%. Battery easily last whole day at work. But buying third party battery needs some luck, you might get a good one which gives 5 hours screen on time but mine is only giving about 3.5 hours screen on time . Personally I would pay someone who has done it multiple times before to do it to save some time and not risk damaging the phone.

        • jjjia on 08/09/2018 - 07:35

          Can you share the eBay link please? My last 15 hours but gives only 3.5 hours or less on on screen time.

        • Trishool on 09/09/2018 - 22:44

          @jjjia: Was that $70 for the battery and the swap out, or did you source the battery from elsewhere?

        • jjjia on 10/09/2018 - 18:00

          @Trishool:

          For battery and labour so quite a good deal for me as the phone will be otherwise too unreliable

        • Trishool on 11/09/2018 - 08:24

          @jjjia: Im in Sydney so would be very grateful if you could pm me the store details, thanks in advance! I'm charging my phone 3 times a day now!

    • ilikeblue on 07/09/2018 - 21:26
      +1

      Currently using 6P and my only advice is to run as far away as you can from it. The battery doesn't even last an hour when the only thing I'm doing is reading on lowest brightness btw, oh and opening snapchat means insta shut down no matter if its charging or "full battery"

      • jjjia on 08/09/2018 - 07:32

        I just had mine replaced for $70 you might want to try that.

        Bootloop fixed but looks like there might be a messageloop issue

    • ufsta on 07/09/2018 - 21:50

      The bootloop was not a software issue. It was a hardware issue, something got to do with a connection on the board or something along those lines

      • jlogic on 07/09/2018 - 23:35

        The solder joints coming off. Causing the bootloop. From memory most started to bootloop after a year of use.

        This is also known as touch disease on iPhones. No boot loop but doesn’t recognise touches which is the same as a bootloop, you end up with a useless phone.

    Nexus 6p has bricking issues. Best to avoid as mine died just outside of warranty but fortunately was replaced. Some issue with the chips or something becoming faulty. A fix was to root the phone and disable some cores essentially throttling the phone. Not possible if it gets stuck in boot loops

      a lot of models that are made for the “real global market” have band 28 as some european countries use it already and more are adopting eg so eg g6, pixel,have band 28.

      xiaomi idea of global is often , not always, a chinese phone made for use outside of china so they add playstore , xiaomi next biggest market outside of. china is india ….no band 28, they even have 4 factories in india.

      some of the chinadroids are designed to specific markets, and modifying the software and certifying extra bands is waste of them for them.

    Negging this deal based on the previous comments in the other post, in regards to adware and malware installed on these supposedly refurbished phones.

    Will remove neg when Rep comes out and states that all phones come with their original firmware from the manufacturer and customers can ask for a no questions asked refund should they find otherwise.

    Too many non techies buy these phones (due to price) only to be scammed via hacks and worse identity theft.

    • Ahan on 08/09/2018 - 08:14
      +2

      I think this is a valid concern. I bought a Samsung in the last deal and was affected by popup ads but it was a simple fix for me but may not be so much for others.

      I however, suspect this issue might just be limited to S7 models.

      I bought a Lg G6, to me for the price it's worth a try.

      • EnALup on 08/09/2018 - 10:50

        LG G6 64 GB is not a good price TBH unless you bought the 32 GB one.

  • garage sale on 08/09/2018 - 05:47
    +3

    people need to be specific about what adware they found on the phone, some is added by manufacturer in certain markets as they are apps people in those marleys use ….like we sometimes get facebook preinstalled, which for a person in china would be bloatware …they don’t use facebook…so compare apps on a china model vs global model , they are different.

    anybody buying any phone should get the latest firmware, and do a factory a rest ….that is just common sense.

    if you want clean OS buy phone with android one and do factory reset

    • BoomTetrisForJeff on 08/09/2018 - 06:48
      +4

      Yes but no phone should be getting full screen popups should they? Even after a factory restore

      • jlogic on 08/09/2018 - 08:01
        +1

        No they shouldn’t. I have a Xiaomi and they don’t even do that. I know it’s sending stuff to China but it is to their servers. Not some random server as a previous poster has mentioned.

        If the rep can guarantee this then it would be resolved straight away.

        I just have a feeling that they cannot because some of the phones they have are different models and then they will flash another countries firmware and that might have a different feature set. See the other post about certain things not working.

    • ssquid on 08/09/2018 - 12:45
      +4

      I didn't look too deeply into it, but there was a preinstalled APK called ZZY sucking down megabytes of data usage. There were also numerous shared libraries made by ad companies installed in the system libs directory.
      Busybox had been installed although su had been disabled. Still enough to fail SafetyNet. Knox tamper detection also permanently tripped so Samsung Pay is not usable.

      All of this crap was preinstalled i.e. part of the system image. Doing a factory reset does not remove it, you have to flash a new image. Getting the "latest firmware" is more difficult than it sounds because the phone can't even be properly identified due to having conflicting baseband/app/IMEI regions, plus the samsung phones have downgrade prevention so if a later version of the wrong region has been applied you can't switch back to the original region.
