[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
[/QUOTE]

Well first. Good luck trying to get a Tmobile store to sell you the phone without having an account. I've heard that some might for a higher msrp price. Even then if Verizon doesn't have the imei in their database you can't get it activated there. Some have said if you pop in an existing nano Sim with existing service it will work but trying to activate new service with it on Verizon may be tricky, specially since Verizon hasn't said squat about release dates or if they will even have the device in stock.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Faustus:
This exactly.

Fact is if you want to use a Nexus 6 on VZW your best bet is to buy from Play Store, Amazon, Motorola Direct, Verizon upon release, etc but NOT from other carriers.

Also T-Mobile has confirmed that they will turn away anyone hoping to buy off contract at any of their stores on launch day. They want to give current customers and new service customers the first go at the device sale before expanding sales to a whole after the hype dies down on their customer end.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pablomoca:
I was lucky enough to get an order in today on Motorola's site, but after watching the latest Droid-Life show I was left with a concern. Apparently we won't be able to use simultaneous voice and data. So say for example I'm on a call and want to look something up, unless I'm connected to a WiFi network I won't be able to do that. This is the case with the 2014 Moto X and the just released Droid Turbo. Those phones though are (according to Verizon) going to get an update before the years end to allow for VoLTE, which will fix this problem. The problem I see is that since this isn't a "Verizon" phone per say, how are we going to get that update? Are we going to be stuck not being able to use simultaneous voice and data? For once I thought we finally had a great Nexus phone on Verizon and now this news reminds me of why we haven't had a Nexus phone after the Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMillion:
I have been mainly using it with T-Mobile but have popped in a Verizon sim and got LTE service. Made a couple of calls, used the internet.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Faustus:
So...You are implying you have a Nexus 6?

Can you disclose anything or is the NDA tied close to your throat too?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMillion:
I mean I can answer some simple questions here and there.

I been posting pix on my G+ if you want to check out as well.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Faustus:
If I were you I would make a small thread for a partial Q&A (depending what you are allowed to say of course) since to our best knowledge there is no one on XDA that actually came forward to owning a N6 just yet aside from you!

Also I did check out your G+ (and did the latest vote you had up as well ;) ) You are indeed the real deal!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pablomoca:
Since you have one in hand, is it true that simultaneous voice and data on Verizon are a no go for now?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Faustus:
I wouldn't be surprised. As Verizon stated themselves that the VoLTE problem will be fixed in the near future, the Nexus 6 might have the fix on board when Verizon sells it from their retailer. For all we know that might be one of the main hangups on why its taking so long for them to release it (doubtful, but Verizon is screwy with their reasons).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
That's odd I can be on a call and surf at the same time on my m7 on Verizon. Why would the n6 be any different?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trunks527:
Are you able to force 3g?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrw1215:
So, you can make/ receive calls and texts via Verizon on the Nexus 6? That's all working fine? Like the above user said, I'm also curious if 3G works fine, as well?

Also, just out of curiosity, what kind of texture does the back of the Nexus 6 have? Is it plastic, or is it the same kind of soft touch as a Nexus 7 (2013), or something else entirely?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airtioteclint:
Can anybody tell me if the nexus 6 will have the same size sim card as the s4? I have the att variant and don't know if it's nano or micro and would like to know if i can simply switch it out. It's a tmobile sim card if it matters.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
Take it out and look to see the size. The nexus 6 is a nano SIM phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airtioteclint:
I just looked it up and the s4 uses a micro sim. Guess I'll have some cutting to do.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMillion:
changed the network type to 3G. Made calls, texts and downloads.

Its plastic. Doesnt have soft touch feel like Nexus 7

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

yea no go. I tried it while i was downloading and it stopped where it was at. soon as i ended call it went back to downloading.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pablomoca:
Well that sucks. Hopefully it gets taken care of soon. Thanks for the reply.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdonnelly1127:
So just to clarify. I can walk into T-Mobile next week use my buddies account to purchase a Nexus 6 full retail and just pop a nano Sim in from Verizon and it'll work? Because based on the phone its a universal phone for all networks.... Is there anything that would complicate me doing this?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
He should go in and buy it. Yea it will work but I'm not sure how strict they would be if something happened actually you would just go through Motorola. The imei is usually only used to verify its not stolen.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdonnelly1127:
Well if a device is purchased full retail by our able to do whatever you like with it. Besides like I said and am led to believe is that the Nexus 6 is not carrier locked based on them releasing a model that supports all network bands for AT&T , T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon. Which means you can pop a non Sim from any carrier and the phone should work based on my past knowledge. I am just asking if there is any reason why I should "not" do this or is there anything holding me back ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
Yea it has all the bands which is what I always wanted. If I leave Verizon I can still use it. As far as we know until now, not sure what can hold you back unless you need a new sim and you tell them the phone was bought at T-Mobile.

I'm not sure if they have a white list of imei numbers for phones like others mentioned. I've seen no source of that just speculations and what people experienced doing that with other devices. For example a user bought an att iPad air 2 and used a pre activated Verizon SIM but online it showed up as an unknown device.

When they went to get their own SIM, Verizon would not add the imei to their system because it was purchased at another carrier. But in the case of nexus 6 if you buy from moto or Google play they can't say anything.

Since you have a SIM ready that is active it will work fine. And I'm sure if you don't say you got it from T-Mobile should they ever need to troubleshoot it, you should be ok.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
Key words are pre activated. I'm assuming if you go and buy a new Sim to activate with nexus 6 bought at another carrier they may not activate it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
Yea I can see them doing this if you specifically say this but we won't know for sure until someone from t mobile tried to get a new sim.

I called Verizon today to get a nano SIM sent to me and they said the nexus 6 will work but they were not sure what type of nano SIM to send me. Either 3ff or 4ff and the rep did not want to send me the wrong one so they told me to just go to the store since they would have all of them there to try.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killakarl:
4FF is the size I got from Sprint
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jfree3000:
Thanks JMillion, those photos comparing the size vs the note 4 helped. Definitely getting the blue/black version.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
To OP. I did something last year when I bought my Note 3 from a t mobile store. At the time I was with AT&T. The t mobile store made me buy an setup an account and pay another 10 bucks for a Sim card. Irony being I actually moved to t mobile a few months later.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razortaz18:
In response to a question about buying the Nexus 6 from T-Mobile and using it on different carriers.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcanexvi:
That information is incorrect. Usually that is true but Nexus devices historically have not been SIM locked on TMO. Pretty much everything they sell is locked so that rep would be right most of the time. I'm not 100% sure but I think iPhones are the other exception. Everything else is locked to my knowledge. It would surprise me immensely if this model was locked as last year's was not.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8shot:
Ok guys, almost first post here, now that its in the right spot. My galaxy tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113TS is having an issue that I can't seem to find on any site including this one.

Little background, this problem first started several months ago. My wife ran the battery completely dead on the tab, we didn't have a "samsung" charger and couldn't get it to charge up. Bought new charger, got it charged, and ever since then, the screen will work for anywhere from 15-20 seconds to 3 or 4 minutes, then just stops working. Hitting the power button will turn the screen off, hitting it again brings up the lock screen, but the screen will still not recognize any touches. The side buttons still work, just not the touch screen.

Letting the tab sit for a couple hours is the ONLY thing that gets the touch screen working again. But it will only work for a minute or two again before it stops working... again... I tried a soft reset several times to no avail. Kind of forgot about the tab, left it for a few months. Picked it up yesterday after charging it and still no different than a couple months ago. I tried the factory wipe/reset several times using the power and volume buttons and it made no difference. Usually the screen won't stay responsive long enough to make it through the whole set up process.

I'm pretty new to digging into these things. I'm not afraid to give it a shot, since the thing is useless in its current state. But most of the lingo and abbreviations are new to me. If anyone can point me towards a solution, I'd be VERY grateful! I'll do my best to answer any questions to help as well.

PS, we bought it used off ebay, so no warranty. It worked fine for almost a year before this started.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8shot:
Bump for a little help? Thanks in advance! :good:

Edit: Should also mention that it's 100% unmodified/stock. I haven't rooted it or been inside it or anything. Very open to trying about anything since like I mentioned, it's useless to me as it sits currently.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanchoPlanet:
You can't do much with the screen the way it is, your best bet is to root and flash a custom rom.

Look in development for a root method and install a custom rom using Odin. Check out You tube for videos on the matter you should find several.

For me th einstalled custom CM11 rom nighlty boots but seems to drop all kinds of android processes. Ik keeps showing all kinds of zip files in the download area. Installed apps can be deeted but are back after reboot. Can't find sd-ext.

Installing stock of custom rom with Odin goes ok for a while but fails all te time.

Is there a low level kind of remedy?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanchoPlanet:
Can you get into recovery?

Use any previous nandroid.

You do have nandroid b/u's ?

Pp.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8shot:
Yeah, I can boot into recovery where it gives me the options to install from SD card etc. And I have to use the power and volume buttons to navigate the options. Thats how I tried the factory reset the first time, to no avail.

I don't have any other backups or anything to try. Where would I go about finding something to use?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanchoPlanet:
Your only option is to reflash your rom or the stock firmware in order to fix the issue.

Use Google to search for the stock firmware, you will have to root again and install CWM.

Pp.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8shot:
Is there an easy to follow how-to for rooting it somewhere? Ideally a way that doesn't involve using the touch screen, since mine is obviously on the fritz.

I'm assuming to reflash the stock files, I'll need to (figure out what files) save them to the SD card then select the restore from SD card option in the recovery menu?

I'm a noob to this stuff, so not familiar at all with the abbreviations and what not. (What is CWM?) But I'm fairly competent if things are broken down to the basic steps and what not.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8shot:
Well looks like I'm answering my own questions a little bit, but it looks like I can download the VRoot program onto my computer, along with the Samsung USB drivers, and use that program to root the tablet..... correct?

Then download Odin to flash the files?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanchoPlanet:
Not familiar with Vroot, need to look it up.

The first thing you need to do is flash the stock Samsung firmware in Odin (using download mode ) . Afterwards you run your tablet for a while, 2 to 3 hours and make sure it's OK (touch screen wise) , then you can root and flash roms.

Pp.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8shot:
So I don't need to root it to flash in the firmware, just if I were to flash a rom? Sounds simple enough.

Next (noob) question. Does the firmware have to match with the version of android running on the tablet? I'm not sure what version is on it, I'll have to look after work. Or can I just get the latest firmware update for my model and use that? Looks like for my model there's a version 4.2.2 that says Canada. That seems to be the newest one out there. Is that what I'll want to use?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanchoPlanet:
Follow this video and you should have success. They have an apparent source for the firmware, otherwise you have to download from Samsung and that can take days.

Pp.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanchoPlanet:
After watching video there are further steps to fully wipe and factory restore , you don't have to go this far unless you want to make tab new like out of the box.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8shot:
Over the weekend I found a site that had the correct factory firmware, and I was able to download it, install Odin, and flash the firmware into my tablet. I followed the steps for the beginning portion of that video posted and was able to get it done. I then wiped all data and the cache and now I'm happy to report that its back to working like it should! Basically saved me from trashing a $200+ tablet!

Thank you guys so much for the help! And thanks to everyone that makes this site possible. Awesome to have people with this level of knowledge in one place and so willing to help!

is there a way to disconnect gprs if it's idle for some N seconds ?

I ask this because I am using SPB Weather to get weather updates every 2 hours.

It connects to my GPRS connection when the time comes and makes the update.

But then it does not disconnect. How to force an auto-disconnect ?

Also, I wonder if "My ISP" connection should have other tabs than "General" and "Modem"

Mine does not have any other tabs.

But if I create a new connection (other than "My Work" and "My ISP") they have tabs like:

- VPN

- Proxy Settings

As my "My ISP" does not include any "Proxy Settings" tab, I cant select it as "This network connects to the internet"

Odds are pretty much zero that you will be able to root. Without root, you can't downgrade. All you can do is sideload. You can still use this guide to determine if you can root: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-dete...ersion-and-rootability-on-first-setup-screen/

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
You will need root for the storage side. But I think the XBMC launching immediately side you can just use the SPMC flavor of Kodi which comes with a launcher. And I think there are some other options for that too...

So here are my 2 cents as a "casual" user of the Fire TV. By casual I mean non-rooted.

I use my Fire TV every day. I use it to watch Netflix and I use it to watch streams on Twitch.TV via SPMC App.
