I flashed Hongkong ROM (version 14.4.A.0.157) and replaced some files from Chinese ROM after root, unfortunately I lost 4G/LTE switch after that, can someone send me the file "com.android.phone-res.apk" located in /system/vendor/overlay/? You'd better use the 14.4.A.0.157 ROM, thank you.

My email add. is: linux.usrs(at)gmail.com, thank you.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidfan01:
Every time I try the IMEI and MEID, the site says "Unable to retrieve device information. Please confirm IMEI/MEID number and try again.". I tried to go through support chat, but they need to escalate it for further review. I had tried multiple browsers, cleared cache/history... Bought directly from Moto and working on Verizon.

Trying to get Moto Care for N6, any thoughts on the issue?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulreaver99:
I am having the same problem. I contacted Motorola and they said they put in a ticket for this and will contact me in a few days. Anyone else have the same issue or got this resolved some how?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackInA88:
Just did mine and it worked fine.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottIsMyName:
Just got off the phone with them and they promised a call or email back within 48 hours. I cannot seem to register my device either. Pretty frustrating since I really want to protect this $770 investment ASAP.

Edit: Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I also noticed that before I unlocked and rooted my device that the bootloader showed that it was modified. I wonder if this was somehow a test unit or refurbished unit that someone had previously unlocked?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulreaver99:
Mine works now. Takes a day or two for some reason
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottIsMyName:
Confirmed, mine is working now as well. Weird that it takes a few DAYS for this to work
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
No that's how they come from the factory. My first and second Nexus 6's had that message. When you relock the BL it disappears.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bad Bimr:
Have not used the GNex (Verizon) for over a year and a half. Always kept it as a back-up phone just in case, The other day a family member's phone crapped out and asked if they could borrow the GNex. I said sure. Booted it up without a SIM and WiFi is not working, it is greyed out. I figured it was on an old ROM so I updated TWRP and did a full wipe and installed a new 4.4 ROM. Still no WiFi, it's still greyed out. Got it to turn on a few times and it says searching but nothing happens. Put a old SIM (not activated) in the phone and it see's the SIM but still no WiFi, still greyed out. I have NO idea what's wrong as everything worked when I last used the phone. I actually used the phone over WiFi a few times in the past when I turned it on (without SIM) for the kids to use to watch videos and stuff.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK3SH:
Hi Buddy,

I am also facing this same issue.

Have u figured out its reason ?

I think its Radio or Baseband issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bandelenth:
I am not completely sure if that can happen to the Galaxy Nexus too, but I remember the Galaxy S having the problem with losing the radio file after flashing, so you had to backup it. Maybe you can find some more information on this, I had a quick google and got back pages, that I didn't expect :D Anyways, maybe your radio file is lost and you can obtain it somewhere, it's just a spontaneous idea.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bmbriefs:
I'm wondering if there is anyone here who can speak to the stability of Google Apps (hangouts, Gmail, etc.) sideloading them onto the fire phone along with Google lay services. I'm really interested in this phone but am not sure if I can give up my gapps.
[Amazon Fire Phone] snapplefish:
I've only had the Google Apps on my phone for a day. I don't use hangouts, but I do use Gmail and the Drive suite, as well as Maps. I'm using the most recent version of Amazon's OS.

Here's my take on some of the Google apps:

My Gmail isn't getting refreshing emails as fast as I'd like it to, though I'm not sure if that's some sort of issue on my side (connectivity or something) or an issue with the app (Note, while I'm typing this post, my Gmail just instantly got an email as soon as it was delivered and alerted me to it...). Gmail does nice little popup alerts and seems to integrate well with Amazon's OS, though.

Maps has some issues with road labels on the most recent version (seems to work fine with some older versions, as per a post on this forum somewhere). I'd consider this app a no-go for now, unless you don't need to read road names at any point. The Maps app that comes with the phone is good enough though (it actually looks a lot like a skinned version of Google Maps, without the social integration and "places to go" recommendations) and I've used it for a 2h drive already with no hiccups.

Drive, Quickoffice, Docs, all work well and I'm able to access, edit, etc, on my phone.

Chrome and Chrome to Phone work.

Google Play Music works for music downloaded on the device (unsure how it works with Google's cloud music service)

Google Play (the appstore) works and delivers updates to apps.

I can give hangouts a go, but I'm not really sure what to look for in terms of functionality.

Google Play apps install and run. I've tried Snapchat, Pixel Dungeon, Soundcloud, and some others. G+ login works, and your Google account is set up when you first try to launch the play services like it would be on a brand new stock Android phone so you get the same kind of Google account integration that you expect from Google's Android.

Edit:

I'd see if you can get some more info from other people... As far as I'm aware, installing Google Play and Google Services doesn't work for everybody. They have for me though, and I'm really happy with the device as it is now, especially considering what I paid for it unlocked.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sram21092:
if you're getting successful results then you should consider sharing what you did and how you did it so we can get the ball rolling.

Also you're able to sideload most apps (besides google apps) and they work normally? Im considering buying this phone with the current deal
[Amazon Fire Phone] snapplefish:
I detailed what I did here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57161714&postcount=24

(Here's the post where I got the instructions from: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57095260&postcount=9 )

I didn't change the directory where I sideloaded the Vending.apk, I just sideloaded it in with everything else. I don't remember if I briefly tried to install the Play store before without Google services, but that's probably why I had to adb install with the -r flag.

Before I installed Google services, some apps were working fine without them. Notably, Snapchat complained every time I brought it up, but ran fine. I would wait a bit for some more input from people... From what I've heard around here, it's just me and another guy (Aztecwarrior, the guy whose method I used in that thread) who have it working at the moment. I'd say you can sideload most applications without installing Google services.

http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ is what I used to pull APKs to sideload before installing the Google services and Play store.

EDIT: I should mention that the Play store doesn't just deliver updates to apps... I've been able to completely install and manage applications through it; it works just as you'd expect it to work on any other phone for the moment. i.e., you don't need to sideload apps first to get them on the phone if you've installed all the Google stuff. Sorry for the ambiguity in my previous post.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bmbriefs:
Thanks for sharing your experience!

Another question: so far have you noticed that you've been getting a number of error massages/application crashes? I had previously installed google apps and services on my fire hdx and constantly received messages that various apps were crashing in the background, which I found super annoying.

Has anyone else had luck with play music? Does it work for all access?

Just a follow up on why I care about hangouts- I run all of my phone and text through google voice and this has been integrated into hangouts. I'm a cheapskate and can use the hangouts app to place calls and send/receive texts so I don't pay for minutes or texts. I'm one of the few people who doesn't care too much about missing play store, since I have the hdx, I've got a bunch of apps off of the amazon store.
[Amazon Fire Phone] snapplefish:
No background crashes -- yet -- at all. I've also enabled background ANRs in the dev options, and nothing's popped up from that either.

I don't have all access for Music, so I can't comment on that.

I just installed Hangouts and gave it a cursory launch... It loads up, enabled SMS (loaded all my conversations from the Fire Phone's messenger app), has all my contacts loaded up to start a conversation. Is there anything specific you'd want me to try?
[Amazon Fire Phone] bmbriefs:
Thanks again! Glad to hear you're not getting the annoying error messages. I think this pretty much seals the deal for me.

On the fire phone, is it possible to change the default sms and dialer apps?

On last request.... could you give the hangouts dialer a shot? This allows you to place calls over wifi using hangouts.
[Amazon Fire Phone] snapplefish:
Regarding default apps, everything is handled via intents (e.g. I set chrome to take all web requests)... when I enabled hangouts sms, I started getting texts to hangouts without being notified by the default app, so I think that much is configurable. The dialer, I'm not sure.

I'm in class right now (and pretty much until 9pm, and lots of homework), but I'll check hangouts dialer and default apps when I have time.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bmbriefs:
Did you root it first ,if so, did you use the same method as aztecwarrior?
[Amazon Fire Phone] snapplefish:
No root. I used the guide that Aztec referenced, but not his exact steps. Check post #4 in this thread, the first few lines.
[Amazon Fire Phone] tanders12:
I've been using the Play Store, Hangouts, and Gmail off and on the last 12 hours or so. It's been rock solid for me. No crashes. Haven't found any missing features. Maps does seem to have some issues but haven't tried navigation yet, which is what I really would use it for.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bmbriefs:
Thanks to you all for your input. I bit the bullet and ordered one before the sale ended.
[Amazon Fire Phone] natter_deluxe:
Now I tried the procedure from scratch (all apks uninstalled and rebooted the phone) several times with different apk-Versions (mainly 2 different links as d/l source).

My Play Store is always not getting any connection and I am not able to d/l apps from the store. Additionally, G Servies crashes every few minutes. I did follow the procedure like apk installation order, reboot, etc. No luck :(.

Btw. my fire phone is NOT rooted and is on fire OS 3.6.2.

natter.
[Amazon Fire Phone] snapplefish:
Have you tried checking for a firmware update in the settings? When did you get your fire phone? I think the ATT/Carrier-bound FPs have some slight differences in hardware and firmware.
[Amazon Fire Phone] natter_deluxe:
Hi snapplefish,

there is no firmware update available, when I am checking in the settings. I did get my phone from Amazon Germany with T-Mobile Sim lock (German localization - maybe that is why e.g. there is no 3.6.8 fire OS firmware available yet) early october 2014 when it was launched here. They sold it accidently for 10 bucks w/o a carrier contract.

Is there any hardware id of phone that can be checked? I could find:

Fire OS 3.6.2 (122009420)

Model No. SD4930UR

Btw., latest versions of Account Manager and Framework from my second phone do not install. Play Services 6.5 and Play Store 5.0 will install, however, no change compared to the older versions linked in the tutorials --> no 'my apps' tab in G Play Store.
[Amazon Fire Phone] frekey22:
You should be on Fire OS 3.6.8 if you have unlocked phone. I had some issues with some launchers, but the standard Google Now Launcher for the most part seems fine. Appstore is very limited and playstore seems to have a lot of tools...unfortunately it's going to be playing with some apps and seeing if they are stable or not. Battery Doctor, clean master, home switch, and weather & clock seems to work for me.
[Amazon Fire Phone] natter_deluxe:
As I said, checking the update status does not provide the 3.6.8 version to my phone. It is not rooted and after delivery with 3.6.0 I did nothing else to the phone but update it to 3.6.2.
[Amazon Fire Phone] casualt:
Only the new GSM unlocked phones come with 3.6.8 Sounds like you got your phone before this all happend therefore you are able to downgrade and root, your one of the lucky ones. You can get a AOSP feel to your phone if you want. Not sure why your not following those guides. Heck if you don't want to root then I'll trade you phones lol.

Gmail conacts

I am transferring my contacts to the FIre phone from Android. All my phone contacts are stored in Gmail(google contacts).

Now the problem is i am not able to find a setting option which would show only contacts with Phone no.

It is showing all contacts of Gmail, but i only need contacts with phone no there.

I had the same issue in Android 2.3 or something, when Android had an option of enabling the contacts with phone no only. Later on in Android 4 they moved to keeping all contacts but at the dialup i could search for only contacts with numbers only.

Any suggestion here. May be a different launcher or app?

Thanks
[Amazon Fire Phone] bmbriefs:
I received my phone and mostly everything is working. Google voice works, and automatically places calls using my gv number. Only issue I'm having is that the hangouts doesn't send sms messages over WiFi (but will over let) and the hangouts dialer has the same issue, I can't place calls via WiFi either. Anyone else find this?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Xyth:
This might be solved when Amazon releases the KitKat version of the OS early next year. I'm hoping for January as they have already released the tablet version.
[Amazon Fire Phone] blcistheking:
Can anyone else confirm? Have no use for this phone if this doesn't work.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bmbriefs:
This may be too late, but hangouts appears to be working over wifi now. I'm not sure if it just took a few resets or what, but after a couple of days calls and sms were being send via wifi on hangouts.
[Amazon Fire Phone] gale2000:
Works for me also.
[Amazon Fire Phone] FatBastars:
My Experience with G-Apps on Fire Phone

I got a Fire Phone Unlocked version with Fire OS Version 3.6.8.

0. Play Services and Play Store: The side loaded G-Apps are older versions and it seems that they are updated automatically. Overall the some apps flicker a bit when they open but otherwise seem to work well. They also seem to integrate with OS well.

1. Hangouts / Hangouts Dialer: Notifications work and also the dialer works pretty well. I have used it to call other countries and call quality is very good. Has access to all the contacts. Also comes up as an option along with stock dialer when we try calling from a webpage. Video chatting is also smooth and found it better than Skype which comes as default with the phone.

2. Chromecast: Works well except for Screen Casting for which the Android Base OS should be Kit Kat. Hopefully it will work down the line. Chromecast based apps also work well.

3. Google Search: Voice enabled search works really well but is installed as an App. Can also search the device for apps.

4. Chrome: Works perfectly and seems to be less resource intensive than Slik Browser.

5. Calendar: Works well. I have also installed another app (Exchange Cal.) for synchronizing my co-orporate calendar.

6. Playstand: Works really well. Created custom news

7. GMail: Initally sideloaded an older version but later installed it from Play Store and it works well including notifications. Installed another apk for exchange services and but was unable to add my exchange account since this is based on activesync and my exchange allowed access through EWS.

8. Google Cardboard: Bought a cardboard and all the demos works perfectly well. Also Installed a simple game and it was quite cool

9. Youtube: Works as expected and also displayed notifications for a new video for a channel that I had subscribed.

10. Google Keep: Works well and also works for reminders by displaying notifications

11. Google Launcher: Works nice but cannot change the background. Google search also works and is almost a stock android experience. Uninstalled it since it was a bit flickery.

12. Maps: Unfortunately maps don't work well due to label issues as one of the message in this thread mentions. Also GPS seem to take more time to lock. However, the stock app is decent. Also installed Nokia Maps (which is surpisingly good) and mapquest just incase. Seems to be an issue with OS.

Other Apps that I have installed from play store and which work very well. Hope I am not trolling....

1. Cloudmagic: For office emails.

2. Citrix Worx: Also for corporate apps and seems to work quite well including notifications.

3. Leo's fortune: Very smooth and loads very fast.

4. CameraZoom FX: It is a must app since stock app is bad this app really brings out best of the camera. as you can set stuff like ISO etc.

Banking Apps, WYNC, Dogcatcher, BBC, EspnCricInfo (I prefer the one from amazon app store since it doesn't show ads)., wikipedia, new egg, flickr also work as expected.

Hoping against hope for a custom ROM.
[Amazon Fire Phone] gale2000:
Here Beta (Nokia) works well offline (have to download maps you want). I like it better than the paid version of CoPilot that I have.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Viperise152:
I used this method to install the all 4 APKS no problem. The only difference is that I went got the latest play store. All is working fine so far, I have most of the popular Google apps running gmail, maps, search, chrome, etc... I have had no background failures and have been able to install all the same apps and games that I had on my Nexus 4.
[Amazon Fire Phone] arth_ur:
Skype works only from App Store

I have an unlocked Firefon wit Fire OS 3.6.8.

Play Services installed with the 4 reboots method.

Same issues with GNL, Maps.

Nokia Here Maps works beautifully.

Skype does not work from Play Store, can't answer or place calls. The version from Appstore works fine.

WhatsApp works, but Appstore asks for a manual update. Will try to uninstall and install it from Appstore.

Some apps from Play Store can't be downloaded and others don't work but have not tried so much.
[Amazon Fire Phone] chody:
google playstore

Has anyone managed to get this working on version 3.6.6, I think its locked to O2 got this on a deal of the day for £99 from amazon so dont know if O2 will unlock for me

Fire Phone Sale

Hi all,

I just saw they put the Fire phone on sale for 189$ with a year of prime membership for the unlocked version. I decided to pull the trigger as I have a data only (tablet) SIM activated and working for Verizon and the unlocked version of the fire phone supports the band 4 of Verizon. I am willing to try that out and if it is not satisfactory find a prepaid phone plan from a GSM MVNO reseller for a reasonable price (I mostly use my wifi). I am looking to see if there are any updates to GAPPS in general including the APK loading process, and specifically the Hangouts calling and texting stability.

I use Google Voice to work from home and the majority of that is receiving calls over wifi in the Hangouts app through my Google Voice number. It is imperative that this app does not crash for me, and I specifically would especially love if the app is stable answering the calls from the notification in the lock screen. I have an iPhone 5 now, and sometimes responding to the lock screen notification makes the app crash and sends the call to voicemail. I cannot have that.

I appreciate all the input so far and look forward to tinkering with the new phone! All input is greatly appreciated. I really wish they would not have locked this phone to amazon services so thoroughly, but what a deal for the hardware capabilities! I really can't wait for this phone!

Regards,

L0Dixon

This build works ok, it keeps soft rebooting. Here's what I did to install. First updated my TWRP to 2.8.1 , then format, system, data, cache, dalvik. Installed ROM, Gapps , Chainfire SU.

It booted quickly. WiFi does not work, but could be because of my 4.1 bootloader. The phone keeps soft rebooting, so I can't keep testing it. Great work.
