Confirmed working on VZW.

One SKU NA/one sku out of NA.

issue is you need a micro sim that is activated or trim down your old sim card so it can fit.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rainabba:
I've never understood how someone concludes that eating up slow, expensive bandwidth and screwing with 3rd party apps is even remotely comparable to having real storage or the ability to swap storage instantly. Even if the device had 256GB storage, it would be even MORE of a nightmare for each upgrade and transferring data on/off is SO slow compared to popping even a cheap Class 10 sdcard in a USB 2 reader, for get a UHS-1 in a USB3 reader.

It's like saying, "you don't need a bus when you can just use a Mini-cooper 100 times to move all the same people". For that matter, why bother with a quad-core, 3GB phone when you could just use an old, single-core, 512MB phone and waste more time?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kimdoocheol:
Definitely this. People forget how unsecure cloud can be and how much of a data hog it can also be. What's the point of having 100gb of data if on the go without WiFi you have a family cap or individual cap of under 10gb? E. G. In a car. I have unlimited data and average 20gb per month easily on top of having a 128gb micro SD card and 16gb on my note 2. The only files I keep related to my phone on my cloud is nand backups simply because hard drives fail and it really sucks to lose that kind of setup and easy to backup themes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] MiuKing:
Motorola and the Play Store are completely out of stock. Is there any other way to get this phone?

Is it possible to go to any of the other carriers stores to buy this phone by itself? Or do I have to buy an unlocked version of the Nexus 6?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kimdoocheol:
Since there is only one SKU, the variants should be OK but nobody can say for sure what VZW will do.

To answer your question, yes, but whether or not VZW will support or do something remains unseen. Doubtful though since only one SKU and from what I've read, they either support the phone or they don't. They cannot selectively block access to some phones because you got them somewhere else, correct me if I'm wrong. It is an all or nothing type scenario.

Anyways, it'll be hard to find this phone anywhere. Everyone here most likely wants the 64gb version. There were threads about Google delaying the UK version due to stock. I'm going to sit back a bit, cause sometimes if they find something there might be minor hardware tweaks. Additionally, since the stock is so low some dude even got the 32gb version over the 64gb version by mistake! lol Tmob people are really pissed right now though with the way their orders were handled.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Drachnem:
I hope this was a troll...they have the same exact hardware...lol

In addition its 40% slower due to encryption, oh and the developer edition will allow unlocking and roms as well.

That being said AOSP is ok. Personally with my Note 2 and ASOP with s-pen apps was about as close to perfection in a phone I have ever experienced.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kimdoocheol:
There actually is a fix out for that right now. Encryption was always there, but prior you could toggle it.

Yeah, but the fault on the next point is that with the N6 everyone has the same sku in NA. With the DE and variants, there are many different versions. this makes development a lot harder, so while you may have an unlocked bootloader, there will not be as many options to utilize that unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
With the lack of root on the retail version and the Verizon Nexus 6 is alleged to be coming soon, I am thinking of moving to nexus. No reason to expect the bootloader to be locked and root unachievable?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
I don't think it will be unrootable. Even moto and google ship with locked bootloaders. Only thing on Verizon is the branding and a few Verizon bloat apps which you can easily remove or flash the google stock images.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
That is good to know. I would appreciate more opinions, although I am leaning towards the 14 day tryout period.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
Yea so far all variants of the nexus 6 have been rooted so since its from moto/google I don't see the Verizon version being any different.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] slimc84:
If you turn the phone on the first time without the sim card in and go through the initial setup, the Verizon bloatware shouldn't get installed on the device. At least it was that way with the AT&T variant.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
Then you just pop in your Sim as long as its an active Sim afterwards and should be good to go. Unless its a brand new Sim that you haven't activated on your account yet you shouldn't need to go through the setup again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] slimc84:
That's correct.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
The Note 4 and Nexus 6 have the same sized SIM cards?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
All Verizon android phones have the same Sim cards now the 3FF Sim.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
My nexus 6 uses a 4ff nano Sim on Verizon. 3ff I believe is micro.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
I suppose I will find out when I go to the store. Did I read that this phone from Verizon comes with a locked bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
They all have locked bootloaders. It can easily be unlocked via fastboot oem unlock command.

The phone uses a nano Sim and until Verizon gets them, which it shows coming soon, if you want a Sim ahead of time and you don't have a nano, just call the 800 number and tell them you need a nano Sim for the n6. They may or may not know about the nexus 6 yet so you can say you got a used m8 and need a new Sim for it. It also uses a nano Sim. Activation is simple once I you get it, call in say you need the Sim active on your account and they will ask you to read the Sim number to them.

If you are getting the phone straight from Verizon you won't need to worry about any of the activation part.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
I am buying it from Verizon in case there is a problem with the phone or I cannot successfully root and unlock it. The rumored release date is the 26th of this month.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] balla48801:
I bought a nexus 6 a couple of weeks ago and returned it a few days later. Ended up just buying a dev edition note 4 from samsung. Ive always had motorola phones with unlocked bootloaders up until the note 3. After having no unlocked bootloader on my note 3 for so I long I couldnt wait for my nexus to arrive. After it arrived I was dissapointed pretty quickly. For one the curved back sucks because you cant lay the phone flat and use it. It constantly wants to spin on whatever surface you have it on. Two the camera was no where near as good. In low light situations it was useless with the nexus. Finally what put the nail in the coffin was the fact it has no volte support from verizon so that means NO DATA AND TALK AT THE SAME TIME. Also even though I would have never thought so I really missed that damn spen. Tried a higher end pen for the nexus but it was no comparison to the spen. I am very happy with my note 4 running cm12 right now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
I'm using a spigen tpu bumper case and the phone doesn't spin when sitting on the table and I can text with it that way too. I guess if the camera is important I could see that point. But I think its good enough. I can't stand touchwiz at all.

I don't think volte has anything to do with data and calling because my HTC m7 could do both before volte was even announced. It had dual antennas. Not sure if the n6 does or if it needs a different type of service for that.

The nexus 6 can do voice and data on other carriers. And the droid turbo can not do both either. Its something with the service.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
I will keep this in mind although my initial task after changing settings is to root and install a custom recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
Get the nexus root toolkit. It will do everything you want, unlock, root, install custom recovery of your choice. I recommend cleanRom and either franko kernel or the kernel by jakew.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] slimc84:
The Nexus 6 only has 1 antenna so you will have to wait for the advanced calling feature if it doesn't come with it at launch.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
Yea that's what I figured, same with the droid turbo and other newer phones. Although other carriers already have that ability.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] slimc84:
I think it has something to do with Verizon's VoLTE network and CDMA. I had the AT&T branded Nexus 6, sim unlocked it and was using it on Verizon. It wouldn't allow me to have simultaneous Voice and Data. I'm sure Verizon will include the Advanced Calling 1.0 on the Nexus though and that may be part of the reason for them releasing it later than other carriers. The same thing happened with the Note Edge (which also has 1 antenna and requires Advanced Calling 1.0).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
Thanks I will look into that when my phone is bought. I have run CleanROM before but will eventually run my own.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] manatti:
Yes volte is voice over LTE. Meaning you get HD calling. You can still do data and voice on all LTE phones with the exception of some at launch like the turbo and the iPhone 5s still can't do but the Android phones all do it now
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shpotik:
Why in the right mind would you switch to the nexus 6 from a note 4. I don't need to hear about how great the unlocked the bootloader is and how 5.0 lolipop is blah blah blah, I have the developer edition with unlocked bootloader now with aosp/CM Roms rolling out, how can you build the beautiful build quality and trade it for a plastic(ugly in my opinion) nexus 6...just my 2¢
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] neyenlives:
Because not everyone can go buy a 700 phone outright? That's pretty simple to understand.

Right now I am in a holding pattern with Verizon. I've been eligible to Edge up since December. The Note 4 is a marginal upgrade from my Note 3 but no root means I won't buy it. The Nexus 6 isn't out yet and will only be a valid choice if fully unlockable and all.

Heck, I might just wait it out, the new Snapdragon 810 devices should be out this year and make both the Note 4 and Nexus 6 look old and slow. By then my Note 3 will be paid off and I can sell it or keep as a backup.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
A reason is that I did not wait to buy the N4 DE. Besides I can go back from the nexus within 2 weeks if it does not work out. No idea if there will be a N5 DE.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hacksaw999:
I like your style with refusing to give up root and being willing to wait. I'm the same way. I have the DE Note 4 now but I got it after waiting all this time to upgrade from my Galaxy Nexus. Talk about a huge upgrade!

Since you've got the Note 3 if I was in your position I'd probably skip this generation of phones and put a little money in a phone fund every month to buy a Note 5 DE (or whatever) when it's released at the end of this year (or whenever). That way you have a significant update, still have root and don't feel the pinch of shelling out $700 all at once.

Another concern though is that I find it's usually a good idea to avoid the first generation of chips containing a significant architecture change whether on PC's or phones. The 810 is a pretty big change with it's implementation of 64 bit architecture. Even if I hadn't just upgraded I'd probably skip phones running on the 810 and wait for the first revision so they get the bugs ironed out. Plus, it usually takes a while for software to make the jump to 64 bit so it will be some time before many of the real benefits of 64 bit manifest.

Regarding the Nexus 6, I think it's a solid phone but it not having a removable battery is a deal breaker for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] neyenlives:
Haven't needed to remove a battery since getting the Note 3. Battery lasts a long time, charges quickly, never run out. Same with removable memory card.... I stuck a 32gb card in my Note 3 when I got it and never have removed it..

I wish the N6 had the stylus of the Note series. If it had that it would be perfect.

I wish the Note 4 had root, unlocked bootloader, 6" screen and front facing stereo speakers. I can't believe they downgraded the Note 4 by putting a single speaker on the back again like my Galaxy S3 had.... That design sucks hard.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
Gotta say I love the front facing speakers on the nexus 6. I also enjoyed them on my HTC m7, they should patent them if they haven't already. I still have that phone as a back up and every time I go back to look at it I ask myself how did I use a phone with such a small screen.

My n6 battery lasts all day with very heavy use, running clean ROM and an upstream Linux kernel its smooth as butter and very stable.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shpotik:
I still think the design is very ugly, sorry not a hater.. I love the specs but can't stand the design on the nexus 6
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
Well that's understandable, the note itself seems too bland for me. I like the shape of the n6 and I can hold it and use it with one hand most of the times. As these devices get bigger style really takes a beating sometimes. Its got the similar style to the moto x only bigger.

I loved the style of the m7 HTC one. A great design and I still have mine but I've been thinking of selling it. I think since its not worth much any more I'll just keep it as a back up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] TechBSwift:
I have a nexus 6 and the note edge. I love the nexus 6 but the note edge is so cool, and the camera blows the nexus 6 out of the water. Before people start judging my opinion or giving their opinion, make sure you have both devices... I don't use the note edge at all because of the lack of root. Once the note 4/edge gets root, it will become my daily driver.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
There is something to be said for skipping the first generation of 64 bit SoC. If i got the Nexus 6 I would not think to upgrade until 2016.

Another really good question is root and recoveries worth losing the s-pen and SD card?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
Those that actually use the s pen like it. I would never use it though. I have the 64gb n6 and I still have a ton of space left after a couple of Roms, app backups and nandroid backups. No way I'd fill 64gb even if I had a lot of pics.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
I suppose I should try for the 64 GB version if it is available. will not miss the S-pen as much as the SD card.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Scott:
Same here! :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Buddy Revell:
Does the Nexus 6 fit Google Cardboard or any of the other VR headsets? I'd consider switching over if that was the case.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
awaiting the Nexus 6 and then going to see if that toolkit works. had not thought about any VR,
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] iMissLayups:
I'm not sure if this against any rules or anything, but what's the best way to swap a Note 4 for a Nexus 6? Is Swappa my only legit option? I'd rather not be without a phone for a while and I don't have the spare cash to buy a Nexus then wait for my Note to sell. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sebastianraven:
You can always do the 18 months no interest like I'm going to do. Its $45/mo. Once I sell my Note 4 I'm going to just dump the money into the bill and be out less than $200

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] skynet11:
I wanted the S-pen and the SAMOLED display that's a generation ahead of the Nexus 6 (Motorola uses older SAMOLED technology it buys from Samsung)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] neyenlives:
Who cares what generation it is as long as it provides a good experience? I held and used a Nexus 6 the other day in person for the first time and could not find anything about the display that made me not love it. Played with adaptive setting, brightness settings, etc.... and couldn't even see any pink tint or anything else...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] selayan:
I have no qualms about the nexus 6 screen, no pink, no yellow areas, really bright that I have to keep it at 30% or less with adaptive brightness.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WhiteReign:
Apple, Nexus 6, and Motorola = Crap.

My opinion and that's all it is. Nor disrespect intended.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] skynet11:
The difference might not manifest itself immediately, but more likely after months of use. For example, screen burn-in could develop more quickly in a previous-generation display, or a tint could develop gradually.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] neyenlives:
Well this was a very much used display in a TMobile store in one of the busiest malls in a major city... Not a new out of the box device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] RaptureVeteran:
Im going to try and trade or sell my Note 4 and get a Nexus 6 soon. My Note 4 is essentially brand new. Just got a screen replacement. But I'm tired of waiting for root access to the Note 4, so f**k samsung. If I cant trade it ill sell it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kgeier82:
Just returned 2 nexus 6 and kept my note 4. Why? One nexus has a highly over saturated screen and a earpiece buzzing. The other had a very dull and dim display. I HATE the lag on Verizon n4 4.4.4 bit neither nexus I got was even close to the n4 screen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ronaldheld:
Interesting things to keep in mind when I try the Nexus.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Buddy Revell:
After buying and playing with the Gear VR for the week, I'm for sure not switching over from the Note 4 DE to the Nexus 6. Such a cool accessory which is perfectly complimented by the phone having a replaceable battery and MicroSD slot.

[HTC Droid DNA] amordesoul:
So I've been doing a bit of research: I noticed in teardown/repair videos as well as images for replacement batteries on amazon/eBay that the size shape of the batteries for some of HTC's recent phones are very similar.

The ribbon placement and the ribbon itself is also similar/identical.

In fact it seems that the 2,020mAh (Droid DNA), 2,300mAh (One M7), and 2,600mAh (One M8) are all the same dimensions and construction.

Does anyone know if they are backwards compatible?

I'd like to try and remedy the pathetic battery situation in my Droid DNA.

Hi,

I am about to develop a mobile apps check -in event using NFC tags.

One of the problem we encounter is about the permanent lock.

We had try the factory reset feature by using Tag Writer application, then apply permanent lock feature on the tag.

As far that we know; once permanent lock is applied, the tag cannot be unlock or even become factory reset.

Why is it that particular tag with permanent lock still can be write with new action and even be cloned?

What is the function of permanent lock on this tags? Can it protect the written data?

May I know what is the constraint of using NFC tags?

Please respond to this, since i am NFC rookie..

I got the Dual Xperia Z3 today, I have a number with Wind and number with Virgin mobile here in Canada.

I installed both nano sim cards in the device but it wont allow me to use both at the same time. If I turn on one, the other goes off, if I turn on the other one, the first one goes off.

The device tells me one can do data while the other does gsm only, both carriers use gsm, so whats up? why am I not allowed to use both cards at the same time?

I just want one for data (obviously), but I want to be able to send/receive messages and calls for both.
