[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLMcc:
I installed it this morning. After some diddling, I think I have VoLTE working. I've made a couple calls and the LTE symbol stays on now while I'm in call. I did have to add HD voice to my account to get it to work.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patmw123:
You may have wanted them, but I didn't. I'd rather pull the SIM card than have to uninstall bloatware after an OTA update.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevexyz0:
OK. I know it's confirmed that the "bloatware" will be downloaded if the SIM is in during the initial (post-factory reset) setup process. I don't know if it's confirmed whether it will happen after OTA upgrade. If anybody has a definitive answer would be good to hear.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patmw123:
Well I believe that the VZW bloatware was only ever installed upon boot after the 5.1 update - as 5.1 is the first OS that VZW actually acknowledged on the Nexus 6. Regardless, whenever I flash the factory images to update from now on and in the future, I plan to continue to pull the SIM card out to avoid any software that VZW determines it needs to download to my device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLMcc:
Well, I didn't pull the Sim card. I already use the Verizon mobile app so it's installed. I don't see anything new anywhere about voicemail. What's it called? I'll look and see. Maybe I'm overlooking it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevexyz0:
It shows up in the app drawer as "Voice Mail".
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLMcc:
No, that's not there.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevexyz0:
If you want it you can install it from the Play Store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.visualvoicemail&hl=en

Once you turn on HD Voice you are automatically switched to visual voicemail, so you could use this app (or some other service, such as Google Voice).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLMcc:
Yea..... Just found out my voicemail isn't working. Crap. I have a Google voice that I use for texting. I really don't want visual voicemail. Can I get the regular voice voicemail back? Or am I stuck?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevexyz0:
Several choices:

You can still dial in to the visual system and it works like the old system. You just have to go through the voicemail setup process again; if you dial *86 it should let you set it up. The main problem with this approach is the Android-provided voicemail indicator on your handset won't work anymore; instead of the notification you'll get a bizarre text message with a bunch of encoded stuff in it.

If you install the app above you'll get a VM notification from the app. Tapping it will take you to the app though, instead of dialing the VM system. You may be able to live with that, just dial the VM system when you see the notification. Or you might find you like visual VM after all.

You can turn off HD Voice. That will let you revert back to the old VM system. Obviously you lose VoLTE, simultaneous voice and data, and HD calling if you do that. Not worth it IMO.

You can just use Google Voice for your voicemail as well and ignore Verizon. You just have to dial a bunch of * codes to set up missed-call forwarding from VZW to your Google Voice number. The Google Voice app and website have instructions how to do this for Verizon.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLMcc:
Thanks. I guess I'm going to try the visual VM. I called in and reset it up and it works. The little tape looking icon even shows up but when I hit it, it takes me to the play store to install visual voicemail.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLMcc:
Is there another update floating around or something? Yesterday afternoon my N6 started just shutting off. I tried to start it and the screen came up like after you do an update where it checks apps or whatever. The white rectangle in the middle of the screen saying something like Optimizing 13 of 161. It will go for a bit and just shut off. I have to hold the power button and start it again. Repeat process over 30 times and it finally started. I thought it was okay but it shut off again this afternoon. Again I went though it. I have no idea how many times.

It's like it's trying to finish an update install when there's no update.

It has shut off a couple times since the update to 5.1 a couple weeks ago but this is over and over and over. Two plus hours to get it started today.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLMcc:
Here's a pic of what what I'm talking about. It ran fine for almost 20 hours and shut down while I was using it. Starting it over and over and over... will finally get it work, at least for a while. That time it was 163 apps. Any ideas on what's going on? This started after the update to 5.1. It shut down a couple times but I didn't give it much thought. Now these last two days I'm about ready to throw this thing in the lake. :(

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRub1Out:
While making a call that is an "HD" call the ringing is almost impossiblly quiet. I can't even tell its ringing until they pick up. Sometimes they say hello twice before I hear it.

Non VZW N6, been having this issue since day 1.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLMcc:
IMO, the HD calling is horrible. I had to shut it off. Kinda sucks but the simultaneous voice and data isn't worth the huge loss of call quality to me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevexyz0:
HD calling works great for me. Crystal clear, vastly improved call quality. Even my wife can tell the difference. Never had a problem hearing the ring. It's an improvement in virtually every way. The only known downside IMHO is if you switch from LTE to 3g during a call it will drop. But I live in an area with great LTE service and have never had that problem.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLMcc:
Maybe the network here can't handle it. Ring volume is the same for me but calls are very tin sounding, and crackle like a blown speaker. Tons of static. If I have it on my friends can barely hear me and I can barely hear them.

I can't get my google play nexus 6 to activate on Verizon. Using two already activated nano sims. Any ideas?

Edit: fixed with a new nano sim from Verizon. Same sim they put in iPhones so there is no problem with using a nano from one of them.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
Are they 4ff nano sims? What happens when you plug them in? If they are activated then it should work.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay_em113:
What do you mean by "activate"? Can you get LTE? Can you get 3G? That's all that matters right now.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
I'm guessing he just ordered them from Verizon and plugged them in. They need to be activated using your current phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay_em113:
Possibly...that's why we need to know what he means. That term seems to be used to indicate a lot of different things these days. To some, the term could be getting LTE/3G, but to others, it could mean the phone showing up in Verizon's system. They are two separate things.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasoraso:
Already activated, as in they came out of a different Verizon 4G LTE device that had service? If that is the case, the only idea I have is to try another sim card and activate it first in a different device - preferably a Motorola X 2014 or Droid Turbo?

If the Sim cards have been activated in the Verizon computer system, but have never been in service, I would put them in a Verizon 4g LTE Android phone and make sure they get full service - data and phone, and then power down those devices, and put them in the Nexus 6 and boot the Nexus 6. Don't make any changes to the Verizon computer system.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epphllps:
Hey guys. Was messing with my phone. My sims are already active. Have been for a while now. I already have phones that use nano sims. I have an iPhone 6+ and n6. Both sims were already active and working just fine. Going to try something else and report back.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
I hear you need to deactivate imessage because iPhone data may be different? This could be what the rep meant by I don't know what type of nano SIM to send you. It's possible there may be different type of nano Sims? Hard to believe but my nano will be here tomorrow.

I told the rep on the phone that I needed a nano SIM for a HTC one M8.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay_em113:
Again, what do you mean when you say "I can't get my N6 to active on Verizon"? Be specific.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemerystudios:
Yeah, I gave my friend my nano sim to try it out on Verizons network, amd he just recieved a small update. No bloat was forcefully installed, but there was a different carrier section off apps in the app store (as google play does when it picks up which carrier you have). So happy using the worlds most expensive network!

The issue is resolved now, but it was one of those things where I would have had to just show you guys to have you understand. My Verizon store hadn't ever seen the issue I was having lol. Basically, it was all resolved with a new nano sim and it was still the same sim they put in iphones.

I probably need to go back and edit that post so people don't think iPhone nano sims won't work bc they will. I have two nano sims that go in apple phones and they work in my nexus 6 just fine now. Just had a nano sim with some issues and a replacement fixed it all.

Verizon Nano Sim Activation Possible Issue

I went into my Local Verizon store with my current active Galaxy S4 and told them I wanted to activate a new nano sim with adapter in my S4. They said they could not do that because their system will not let them activate a "nano sim" in a phone that takes a "micro sim" and they could not over ride this in their system. I have no idea if that is true or not but they seemed to be trying to be helpful. I went home and took out a scissors and cut down my micro sim to a nano sim and put it in my new N6 it is working fine. I do think however that Verizon activations, if you don't all ready have an authorized compatible sim card, are going to be problematic.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
You could have called Verizon had them ship you a SIM card for an htc m8 then activate it on your current line using the nano to micro adapter. Then once it's activated pop it in the nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eighty1:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdonnelly1127:
I can confirm I am using the nexus 6 on Verizon network. It works flawlessly no problems what so ever. Even did the software update and it updated and went right back yo normal. The device does not do simultaneous voice and data which is a given. Just activate a nano Sim and pop it in the phone. Also if you are looking to purchase the device from T-Mobile just go in and tell them you want to buy one full retail on a prepaid account which one day of service is $10 and the Sim is $10 so you pay an extra $20 big deal. Don't even have them activate it just pop your nano Sim in and you're good to go. If for some reason they insist on activating just do a factory reset and pop your Sim in before it activates again and you're good to go. Hope this helps for anyone thinking of purchasing works like a charm and happy with device

They're all the same model, except AT&T's apparently gets a tramp stamp and AT&T boot screen. But any North America Nexus 6 will work on any network in the US. Pop in whatever SIM you have and go crazy.

I have unlimited data on a galaxy s4 with VERIZON. If I cut down the sim to a nano sim and put it in a nexus 6 bought from motorola.com, will it change my plan? I was told that the phone will say, "non verizon device" Will I lose the unlimited data and reset my plan because I "gave up my phone" to a non verizon phone? I know it has been posted that it will work on Verizon but I couldn't find anyone saying if it will affect your plan.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RW-1:
Nope, shouldn't affect your plan, it would be like purchasing another device fully paid and moving the SIM to it, which is really what you are doing.

for me, it will be cutting down my GNex SIM and popping it into the 6.

Another Verizon user reporting in. Just got a Tmobile Nexus 6. They made me get a plan $45 prepaid one month and a $10 activaiton for the sim (even though I had my sim). It was last one in stock there was no way they were ringing it up outright. Stupid policies that you cant buy a phone outright, surprised that's allowed, but I understand their point. So after NYC tax and the plan / fees I'm into he phone for $770 :( but its a sweet device. I opened the phone, immediately popped out the tmobile sim, put my verizon sim in and everything works fine. Voice / Data / LTE/ SMS / and MMS pictures go through just fine.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
The best kept secrets of T-Mobile lol One is that they have never altered a Nexus device in any way. The only thing is, is if you power on any Nexus 6 (bought from T-Mobile, Google Play, Motorola.com, etc) with a T-Mobile SIM in it, it downloaded the "My Account" app automatically, which is easily uninstallable.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xray49er:
As of right now verizon cant activate the phone its not in their system. You either have to have a sim already activated and pop it and it just works on verizon.

You can avoid going to Verizon by calling them and telling them you need a nano SIM for an htc m8. They will send it to you and you call in when you get it and have it activated on your existing line. Then put the SIM in the nexus 6.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caveat71:
Pretty sure I found a bug...(if you test this, most likely you will need to factory reset to get connectivity back with VZW)

Test parameters:

Nexus 6 (Google Play)

LRX21O

Install VZW SIM, boot phone.

Once connectivity is established with VZW LTE, shut down phone

Remove VZW SIM

Insert TMO SIM

Start phone

Once TMO Connects, Change preferred network type to "LTE (Recommended)" from "Global"

Once LTE is established on TMO, power down phone.

Remove TMO and insert VZW SIM.

Power on phone

Phone will not connect to VZW.

Go to Preferred Network Type -- Only options that are now available are LTE/3G/2G. Normal Verizon options are "LTE/3G/1x/Global"

The Verizon settings don't come back...time to Factory Reset...

Test 2:

Same process, just this time leave the TMO network options as "Global"

When switching back to VZW SIM, network connects and the Verzion network options persist.
