[Nexus 6  General] aawshads:
Let's throw some common sense in here. It has been noted that there are 4 SKU's for the Nexus 6. White and Blue, and 32 or 64gb. in order to have the bloat preloaded or to lock the bootloader for a specific provider, it would have to be loaded/locked at the factory before boxing. I do not believe ATT is taking possession of bulk phones, putting their software on, then boxing them. So if we take that out of the equation, then to have provider specific phones the factory would require a separate SKU, for tracking and inventory purposes. Otherwise, they might pull Verizon phones for an ATT order or some other screw up. So I find it very unlikely that the carriers will be able to do anything to the phone itself.

Now, it is very possible, that certain things will be tied to the SIM cards as has been stated in a couple of the forums here. Once the SIM is inserted, it recognizes X carrier, and XX apps are downloaded and installed and POSSIBLY a software update that could lock things up. Until we see it in the wild it will be impossible to know. I know I will for sure not put the SIM in until I have looked at the phone if I get the ATT version.
[Nexus 6  General] toyfreak:
I'm on AT&T and tried to pre-order the N6 but didn't get one. I'm cooling my heels for now. If the Deathstar version can be flashed to be a Google Play version AND is not SIM-locked I'll buy on Next from AT&T. If the bootloader is locked down OR if the SIM is locked to AT&T off to the Google Play store for me; I'll wait. Either way, no need to get wound up over this. It is, after all, just a phone.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Nobody should accept any software updates, from Google or carrier, until we know if they will try to lock the device down with an update.
[Nexus 6  General] toyfreak:
I got through to a local AT&T Wireless corporate store just before they closed minutes ago and the rep told me the Nexus 6 in both colors and RAM sizes would be available for purchase in-store on November 12. He could not give me expected inventory levels; he said basically they get what they get. I forgot to ask about pricing and he was in a hurry to close up shop.

Don't take this as gospel; it's only one employee's word and I'm only repeating it.

[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Um. I don't pay interest. The payment is offset by the bill credit every month. Every 12-18 months I get to swap out my old slow phone for the newest fastest phone. All I pay is retail tax at time of swap.

It essentially costs me 75 bucks every 18 months to stay in the top of the line device.

What exactly am I missing?

Name calling and badgering "nanofart" over and over. He hasn't posted again since his conversation with AT&T was shared here. We get it, it was rude and childish and it's also over now. Let's move on and get back to being helpful and sharing information. Enough is enough!

At&t nexus 6 release date

Take it for what you will, but the local best buy store in my area this morning told me the device will be available on November 18th. Att store reps obviously would not comment about the release to confirm.

I was in the AT&T store the other day And asked an employee About if they would be getting the Nexus 6. He told me they never carry unlocked phones in store. He said I'd have to order it from the website. So I doubt it is going to have carrier interference.

ATT REP.: Welcome to AT&T online Sales support. How may I help you with placing your order today?

Eric: Just wanted to know if there is any info as to when the Nexus 6 will be available for pre-order

ATT REP.: Hello, Eric! I'll be more than happy to assist you with devices today!

ATT REP.: The device will be released on 11/13/2014, at the moment we don't have any information regards a pre order date.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Caniv:
Hey guys!

im from israel, been using NEXUS phones for the last 2 years or so and i saw this phone and knew i must have it (ffs 3,900mAh)

but then i saw it says "Verizon" everywhere, which i know is a cell provider in the US.

so does that mean that Motorola made a phone that is for ONE CELL PROVIDER IN THE WORLD?

some poeple have been writing things about "open GSM" or something? will there not be an unlocked version?

ty
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] shimp208:
The Droid series of devices has traditionally been Verizon Wireless exclusives dating back to the original Motorola Droid, to answer your question it is made exclusively for Verizon. Will there be a unlocked version eventually, most likely there will be. This being said you could purchase one for full retail price and by Verizon's Device Unlocking policy "We do not lock our 4G LTE devices, and no code is needed to program them for use with another carrier", however there is no guarantee it will work with the radio bands your carrier operates at.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Caniv:
wow thank you for the awesome detailed answer.

so they CLAIM i could just buy a Verizon version and put my sim card inside and it SHOULD work?

also when u say "no gumtree it'll work with the radio bands" , do u mean these (for nexus 5 for example:)

"HSDPA 800 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 900 - North American version

LTE 700 / 800 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 - North American version"

and if so, if i can CHECK with my provider what 'radio brand' they work at, and the Turbo has that band, theres really no reason for it not to work, right?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] monochrome83:
As a former VZW indirect rep, I can tell you that yes, it is possible to unlock the phone, and use a foreign sim in it, you would have to call VZW Tech Support, and have them unlock it on their end, before being able to take it to another carrier. When the device is released, or open for pre-order, they will list the CDMA/GSM/LTE bands that it will work on, listed in the specs on their website. A lot of VZW customers do travel abroad, therefore, the devices do have to work, and obviously, most of the world is on GSM. Hope this helps.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Banned:
Does the CDA on your phone match any of the CDAs currently listed in XperiFirm? I would assume it would be best to stay with the same region's firmware your phone is already on for compatibility purposes.

well i bought the phone from Hong Kong , while i'm from israel.. sooo... :)

can i lookup after israel CDA ? then look for the closest version ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Banned:
I'm not confident enough in the differences to give you a definitive answer here. You can check the CDA from the Service Menu (dial: *#*#7378423#*#*) under Software. If you do have the 1288-4310 Customized HK firmware, it isn't updated to 23.0.1.A.5.77 at this moment.

Yes, just did that and it worked flawless.

First thing I take note of is that WiFi seems much more stable now in conjunction with my AVM Fritz!Box 7490 router.

the wifi seem abit laggy.. it take sometime to connect to my home network and not happens right away like my old galaxy s2 with cm11 :)

which version did you installed ?

You can safely flash any FW you want as long as it's for the same model. So, if you have a D5803 you can flash any FW for D5803.

Hi. Have a big problem. I was on marshmallow developer preview and enjoying it. However i now have a new phone. Upgraded. I would like to sell this one. But when I tried to go back to lollipop I got invalid sim card. My phone now won't connect to a network. Has anyone had this issue and what is the likely cause/fix? I've tried flashing back to various kitkat/lollipop builds and even gone back to marshmallow but it won't recognise my sim which works in 2 other phones just fine. It won't recognise my wifes sim either.

My phone is on o2. Is there another file I can flash to get this back. Seem to remember having to do something else with my old xperia sp other than just flash firmware.

I'm unhappy with lollipop and want to stay rooted without unlocking the bootloader (so Marshmallow isn't an option right now), so I'm thinking of downgrading to this firmware. I'm in the USA as well. Can you tell me which version of 23.0.1.A.5.77 I should be using? Are any of the unbranded ones OK, e.g. the unbranded UK firmware since it would at least default to English language?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
If someone else can confirm your statement, I will be glad to update my FAQs ;)

English is the same in ANY firmware. Don't worry.

Remember to wipe all your data when you downgrade from lollipop to kitkat or else you'll face a lot of issues from apps and a weird behaviour of your device.

Awesome, thanks! I gave it a try, and it worked great. Wiped data, system, dalvik, and cache before flashing a prerooted zip. But it turns out a game I play on my phone isn't compatible with kitkat, so back to lollipop I go.
