Good idea to stay with Verizon?

I just purchased a nexus 6 from T-mobile with the intention to switch from Verizon. I still haven't canceled my service with Verizon and tried the crazy idea (i didnt know yet) of switching sims. I have unlimited data on verizon and noticed I get much better data connection and speed on my Nexus 6 now. Im thinking of keeping the phone for Verizon if at all possible since I bought it with t-Mobile under a payment plan. If I can keep it under the same terms minus the plan, i will. I'm just worried the device I have will get blacklisted, the android updates won't go through ( would it affect it at all? Comes directly from Google?), and simultaneous data/ voice. Hard decision! I just cant deal with the horrible coverage I'm getting with T-Mobile now that I switched with them. I don't want to part from Verizon. Haha Any insight on my situation?

I need help activating....

I have a Galaxy Note 3. I got a nano-sim in the mail from Verizon. I placed it in my Note 3 (with an adapter) and was able to activate the nano-SIM and make a test call. I place the nano-SIM in the Nexus 6 and the LTE network shows a signal, however, when I make a call, it says no cellular network found. I am not able to activate online, or by phone, or over the phone with a technician.

My phone is rooted and has a custom ROM, do I need to return back to stock and lock the bootloader for this to work? Are there any other steps that I am missing?

I still have my SIM for my Note 3, however, I don't wish to cut it up. Right now my Note 3 is back on until I can activate the Nexus 6.

Thanks in advance for help.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilDX:
I don't know if it was truth or myth, but in the days of the original VZW galaxy nexus, it was said that you could only activate a new one with the stock ROM in place.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_N:
I can participate here...lol.. Purchased the only nexus 6 in town from the us cellular authorized retailer. Used it for about 8 hours on their service.. Remove phone from line. Popped in my Verizon sim...everything is working perfectly.. GV...data..MMS...all is well...now, if I only had an unlimited data plan, hmmmm ..lmao
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bplewis24:
Interesting. But in his case, the SIM is already activated, so I wouldn't think it would cause an issue.

Did you reboot the phone after placing the SIM inside? There aren't any other steps you're missing that I can think of. Has the thread for that particular ROM listed any issues with cellular signals?

I just cancelled my T-mobile service to go back to using VZW as my daily provider. You shouldn't have any issues with getting blacklisted. Android updates shouldn't be an issue either, provided you are running the most current build of Android for your phone. If you are running a custom ROM or something, your phone may not take the OTAs that get pushed out. But that's not because VZW is blacklisting you.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bisquick24:
Hi Thanks everyone for responding.

I have restored my Nexus 6 back to stock. I was actually able to place a call now (get a recorded no activation message), which is further than I got before when I had the custom ROM. I reactivated my nano-SIM in the Note 3 now and able to place call with the Note 3. I will wait for a few hours that then replace the nano-sim in the Nexus 6 and see what happens and report back.

Now, I guess the big question is, provided that the SIM works on the stock Nexus 6 will I be able to install a custom ROM again and still be able to have service?

Ok, I placed the new nano-sim in my Nexus 6 and it is working. Just need confirmation from someone that I can re-root the phone and re-install a custom ROM with the new sim. For someone that has done this which ROM are you running?

Thanks.

yes i also have this on vzw not sure it is right though :confused:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilDX:
yeah, you're good to go now. I haven't actually flashed a ROM yet since I'm happy with root now. just check out the android development + original development forums, lots of options and feedback. SlimLP has a great dev team and I plan to give that a go soon.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engljeff:
Just loaded an already activated sim from my carrier (Verizon roaming partner) and confirmed that I can make voice calls, use data upstream and down, and receive SMS/MMS when LTE is enabled or when forcing device to use 3G. Sending SMS/MMS is another story. I can only send SMS/MMS when forcing to 3G. If I select LTE, it will not send SMS/MMS. From what I can tell, there have been some carriers in the Netherlands that experienced this before and from my reading, it seemed that the update to 5.01 was supposed to address this issue and yet I am still experiencing this. I'm stumped. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmil1484:
So, I have a gift card for Amazon, there are two carriers that have Nexus 6 (AT&T and Sprint). I am on Verizon. I would like to buy one of these to use on Verizon. Can I buy one at full price, carrier unlock it and insert my VZW sim to use on my carrier? Also if I get the AT&T I was thinking of unlocking the bootloader and installing the factory image.

I would very much like to buy from amazon because they have prime, I have a gift card, and both Motorola and Google never have any in stock.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codygs83:
I can confirm the sprint model is unlocked and will work with any carrier. Before I bought mine from Motorola my buddy brought his sprint nexus 6 by and I popped in my sim from my old motoX 2013 model and had no issues at all. 4g, SMS and MMS worked with no problems.

I believe att model is carrier specific. But not 100% sure.

Sprint model will work with Verizon.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nesmall2:
The AT&T model is SIM locked I believe, so do not get that unless you want to go through hoops to get it unlocked. I have read from some places that its not that hard, but why go through that if you don't need to. I read that the Sprint version is unlocked, so I would go with that one.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nacho~:
I have no issues with simultaneous voice and data when connected to LTE on verizon. 3g you obviously cant, but LTE and WiFi I have not had any issues with on my N6 since i got it 3 weeks ago. Unlocked, Rooted, running Pure Shamu 3.97 and Franco.Kernel r9.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Right, with wifi. Because it's using wifi for the data part. Voice and data over the network does not work. This has been discussed over and over again in this thread.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
That's because you are in WiFi. Turn off WiFi during a call and you won't be able to browse and have a voice call at the same time. The n6 doesn't have dual radios like the m7 does. Until volte is in effect you can't do both.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nacho~:
If you both read more carefully, I said that it works on LTE on my N6 as well as when i'm on WiFi. If I'm driving down the road talking on my phone, I am still able to browse the internet or post facebook updates or even send an email at the same time. I have in fact done this. On my way to work today was the most recent time.

Oh and at the same time, my hotspot was active with the chromecast connected to my appradio casting my screen.

Also, VoLTE has been active for about 3 months on verizons network. there are only about 7 or 8 phones that are compatible though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
Well that's odd because it doesn't work for me. I guess that service is not in my area yet considering how many posters I see about volte and all this junk.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
The Nexus 6 doesn't have VoLTE on Verizon or Advance Calling which is required for voice/data. Unless you have the only N6 in existence that this feature somehow magically works on. I suggest not posting to facebook while driving and talking on the phone anyway.

Took the sim from my moto x and put it in my Nexus 6 and it shows it is on Verizons network. But it won't make place calls. Says the cellular network is disconnected. Data works just not voice. Any ideas?

Went to Verizon and the rep said that my account was deactivated. I have a new active sim in my Moto X just now a little nervous about putting it in my Nexus. Suggestions on what to do if they deactivate my acount again?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slomo26:
So I get no VM notifications on my unrooted T-Mobile N6 on Verizon. I noticed that I have the basic Visual VM on the line with the N6. So I switched SIM cards with another line that has basic VM (Not Basic Visual VM) on it. You guessed it, I now get VM notifications. The solution seems to be to make sure that you have basic VM on your account and not Basic visual VM.

I have tried twice to get CS to change my basic visual VM to plain old basic VM. Every time they say its done I look online and it still lists basic visual VM on there. If I could get them to change it back to basic VM I would be in business. I also tried to change online thru My Verizon but still no luck. For now I'm back to Google Voice until i get it changed.

N6 ordered from Motorola (due Feb 3)

Called *611, asked for nano SIM, said it was for a new phone, Nexus 6 (due Feb 3) [VzW shipping note says item is "4G MicroSIM"...me thinks this is not what is required :( ]

I have an existing phone on VzW, but with different size SIM (phone is Thunderbolt - insert laughter here)

I want to replace the T-bolt with the N6 on my account.

Questions

1. Should I simply call VzW Activations when I have both the N6 and the VzW SIM?

2. Should I expect simultaneous voice and data via VzW?

3. Am I overlooking anything?

Notes:

I use Google Voice, not VzW voice mail. No visual voice mail at all.

I can cut my existing SIM if I have to, but I am hoping to make a clean start on the N6 without any T-bolt baggage :)

I read this and various threads before posting. I can't recall which, but one mentioned a hack to enable simultaneous voice and data.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevexyz0:
The shipping note ought to say "nano" or "4FF". If it says "3FF" you've definitely got the wrong SIM coming. Assuming you've got the right SIM, then yes calling activations is the easiest thing to do IMHO.

No you should definitely not expect simultaneous voice and data (not yet anyway). There is no "hack" to get it working. We just have to wait for a software update to add VoLTE support, which presumably will happen after Verizon starts offering the phone.

I am a new to android and I have been tasked to create a timer that the user for example can select any apps in the android phone and set a timer which can be for example 5 minutes and after the time has passed it will come out an alarm and notification that they have been using that specific app for 5 minutes . I have gone through activity manager however I am not sure how can I build a timer that can count how long an app is running .

Any response is helpful .

why do i have a android system folder in my ext sd card and i cant delete it! i have no apps installed in my ex sd card and everything is on the mobile!!

please help me cause its really annoying
[XDA Assist] Perseus:
Depending on Android Version, the folder represents either a Stub/marker or actual data for too large apps which would internally store there. Even if you don't have such apps, it would be Android's way of identifying/readying the card for its use.

Native SIP on a Samsung Phone

Hi All, I've had a problem trying to locate the native sip details on my Samsung mobile and could not find it in the normal place, after much searching on the internet everyone was suggesting installing a third party app I wasn't keen on that.

After a few days playing around with the phone, I managed to find it, you will need to trick the phone below is how i done it

1. you will need go on you pc, open up your browser, go to the google page then sign into you gmail account that is associated the phone

2 then click Gmail on the left hand side clickGmail then select contacts

3. you will then need to create a new contact for example 'Office' in the phone field type 'Extension number@ipaddress or dns name', ie 121@bling.com or 121@123.10.20.14, then save

4. Now go into you phones contacts, you will see the contact Office now dial it, then phone will then say there is internet call setting you will need to add it, add all the required details and press save, wait till the phone says registered if not edit and check the details. Once this section of the settings gone there is no way to find it again so be careful

To make a sip call you will need to log on to google via a browser and add a new phone details under an existing name or create new details 'Extension number@ipaddress or dns name'

This works for me and I hope it works for you

Worked for me, thanks!

The first time I tried to add the account (I use voip.ms) it didn't allow me to save. I had entered data into a couple of the optional fields. It let me hit discard, so I discarded and added again. This time, I didn't add any optional fields. It accepted my account info and displayed it in the accounts list. I then edited the freshly added SIP account and added the data into the optional fields which it this time let me save.

Damn you Samsung, damn you....

Any Idea about same in Note 5?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob_ru:
Probably partly solution

Well, still have no official solution. So I dare to offer you one which works for me:

1. You should to install any app that give you ability to activity access (something like QuickShortcut Maker - sorry can't post links by rules restrictions)

2. Run it and find there in activities dropdown menu: Phone "com.android.phone", and there: Phone "Sip Settings (com.android.phone/com.android.services.telephony.sip.SipSettings)". Tap on it and choose "Create" link.

After these actions you will have ability to manage your SIP accounts.

Tested on SM-N910F 5.1.1

Hope it will help you folks and burn in hell Samsung for these disrespectful jokes.
