I just talked to my inside business rep and she just found out that it is not being released until February. Pretty pissed!
[Nexus 6  General] LakerFam0824:
Winter is coming...

Be ready cuz its coming... The Motorola Droid Turbo 6! It will be full of bloat and skinned in the most obnoxious Motorola overlay. I'm sure it will have all the same specs with maybe a faster processor. It will have 5 different Verizon logos plastered all over it. Of course the bootloader will be locked and we will never see root!... God I love Verizon!
[Nexus 6  General] dtroup64:
I just had a meditation session with my spiritual king. He let it be known to me that Verizon will release the Nexus 6 in... and then the session ended. I'll try again tomorrow.

Nexus 6 on Verizon

My Motorola bought Nexus 6 works great on Verizon, and with Moto Credit im paying just like you would if you used the "edge" program from VZW... Oh and i didnt have to give Verizon any cut of the sales which is just icing on the cake!
[Nexus 6  General] Highland Ranger:
Why wait? Buy one from another carrier, swap Sims.
[Nexus 6  General] JSkilnyk:
We probably wont see any Nexus 6 in stores at all. Nobody has the Nexus 6 locally on any carrier cause its sold out.(I've checked, XMas present.) If Verizon wanted the sales they would have already done it.
[Nexus 6  General] zetsumeikuro:
When i went into Verizon to get a nano sim for my N6 they didn't even know wtf it is. They're like oh that's not going to work on our network... I had to walk them through what to do to get my device working.
[Nexus 6  General] enddogg:
How did you get it activated? I went into the store and they were really helpful and tried very hard to activate it but couldn't. I currently have a microSIM, so my only option is to cut down the microSIM unless you know of another way.
[Nexus 6  General] GMoGoody:
There are multiple ways and they are posted elsewhere. Long story short

1) Cut the Micro Sim Down to a Nano.

2) Pop it into the N6

or

1) Contact Verizon tell them you ordered a HTC M8 or Motorola X 2014 at manufacturer cost and it is on its way. Ask for a Nano Sim that supports those phones. They will Fed Ex you a Nano 4FF-NFC sim for free.

2) Once you get the sim using an adapter pop it into your old phone and call customer service.

3) Ask to be connected with technical support.

4) Once connected tell them you have phone on order but you are ambitious and would like to activate your new nano sim using an adapter in your older phone.

5) Pop it into the N6

Others have found alternative methods. I did the later with my Note 2 and it worked like a charm.
[Nexus 6  General] omnipotent910:
shouldn't be too difficult

I bought my Nexus 6 unlocked off the Motorola site a couple weeks ago. When it arrived, all i did was take it to my nearest Verizon store for a nano Sim (prior phone was Droid DNA) and got the phone activated right there in the store as well. The nano Sim was $10. Activation was simple. The whole process took maybe 10 minutes... 15 at most. No need to stress about getting the phone activated or a nano Sim. No need to make up any weird stories as well. If they won't do it at one store, take it to another. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 6  General] Masx:
SIMs from Verizon corporate stores are free. Not sure about authorized retailers, so if a corporate store charges you for a SIM then they ripped you off.
[Nexus 6  General] l0ud_sil3nc3:
Ya but if it only took 10 minutes and $10 dollars to activate his N6 doesn't sound like a bad deal to bad to me, compared to some of the trouble people have been having in this thread trying to get theirs activated.
[Nexus 6  General] GMoGoody:
Really? That is surprising. Since launch most posts have said Verizon will not activate a Sim for the N6 on the phone or in the stores.
[Nexus 6  General] Masx:
Doesn't changed the fact that he got ripped off it it was a corporate store. It just means he has a store that is competent at doing their job but ripping people off. Now not saying $10 would break the bank but wanted people to know that if they are trying to charge you for a SIM at a corp store then they are ripping you off.
[Nexus 6  General] omnipotent910:
The store I got the phone activated at was a small retailer in a strip mall. Not sure if it was a corporate store.

I did go to a corporate store earlier that day requesting only the nano-SIM, but they said they would only give me the nano-SIM and activate the phone for me there if I brought it in with me - I did not have my phone on my person at that time so I had to leave. I'm not sure if they would have charged me for the nano-SIM, though. I ended up going to the other Verizon store mentioned above because it just happened to be closer to the FexEx I picked the phone up from. I honestly don't know why various stores are treating customers differently.

In any case, $10 was well worth it for a hassle free and quick experience, whether they should have charged me or not (and the extra time I would have had to spend arguing about the additional $10 is not worth my time, as well). I also didn't have to make up any BS stories or wait on the phone for customer service to get to me.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the purchase and how everything went down from the purchase online to delivery to phone activation :good:
[Nexus 6  General] hsomnus:
Bought mine from motorola stopped in at a vzw corporate store and asked for a nano sim. Got the same old sh.. From them, "we need the phone in the store in order to activate it because we have to take the sim out of our stock in the system." I told them they are full of it...how then can I order a sim online , get it in mail, and activate it myself if you cant give me one here at a corporate store? They said, "sir we would need the phone so we can take the sim out of our system." I said, "well take the damn thing out of your system, you dont need the damn phone to do that". She disappeared to the back of the store and returned a few minutes later with the sim. She said, "please call us after you activate it so we can take it out of our system". Sure thing. Came home popped it in and had service within minutes. Moral of the story...vzw is going to try to pull their bs on you ALWAYS...you just need to be persistent and maybe even forceful.
[Nexus 6  General] zidave:
This is the exact reason I left verizon for At&t. Little bit of bloatware, that I easily removed, is a small price to pay to get away from big red and their BS.
[Nexus 6  General] zetsumeikuro:
For you guys having trouble... This cost me NOTHING by the way. I just copy and pasted this from another thread I posted in.

Here's what you need to do to get a nano sim in the Verizon store without a hassle. Call customer care ahead of time 800-922-0204 just keep hitting option 0 till it asks you for your password. Just tell the rep you need to add a 4G dummy phone on your line so the store can give you a nano sim with you go in. Should take the rep a few minutes to add. Also you will probably need to remove Asurion on that line since Verizon doesn't carry the N6 and the warranty somehow interferes with the sim only activation according to the rep. Now head down to the store and tell them you need a nano sim and to do a sim only activation and profit. No need to do a bunch of stupid bull**** just to get a nano sim... I was in and out of the store in a few minutes which my N6 working on all ends. Enjoy. (This is for people that don't have access to a device that uses a nano sim to add to their account). Obviously the easiest method is to already have a device that uses a nano sim on Verizon .

[Nexus 6  General] santanac:
I have a feeling they're gonna take their time and release it somewhere between January and February
[Nexus 6  General] TechBSwift:
At this point it pretty obvious they have no intentions to release the Nexus 6 or the Note Edge on Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] LeoRex:
Gee... I'm shocked... Verizon Wireless continues to suck.
[Nexus 6  General] illdub89:
I work for a Verizon/ATT retailer and we have demo model Note 4 Edges, specifically branded with Verizon insignia (ew)

But yeah, i dont think VZW is getting the N6 so I ordered through GPS
[Nexus 6  General] TechBSwift:
My boy is a manager for Verizon, Verizon was the first US company to get Demos of the Note Edge and it still hasn't been released. Verizon has this "alpha male" complex, if companies other than Apple don't do what they want, they won't sell their products. I hate Verizon but I have unlimited data still, so I can't leave.
[Nexus 6  General] rlukas79:
I can tell you for certain that I've seen a Verizon branded Note Edge. I wrk very closely with Verizon Wireless equipment engineers and that was just about a month ago. Not to mention that Motorola reps have shown the Nexus 6 to VZW retail employees and that Nexus 6 was field tested at the same time as the Moto X 2014 lollipop testing

So i decided i need a otg device for the nexus 6. I have the 32gb nexus 6 so i decided i need to manage my space with photos and videos. I picked up this handy little device on ebay for around 8$ free shipping from cali to nyc shipping was fast about 5 days. So recieved the package opened it up plugged it right in. It didnt really work right out the box i have to download stick mount pro from the playstore. Got it set up and i was able to work with it right away with es file explore. Also i was able to back up from twrp directly to my memorycard that i had connected to it. So my guess you can use otg with nexus twrp i would highly recommend one of these for anyone who takes lots of photos and videos and want to back up roms or anything else on here.

I bought a 32GB DT MicroDuo USB 3.0 micro USB OTG because is tiny! :D

Check it out! It's so compact! but it isn't a reader!

Now all we need is one of these to incorporate a full sized USB 3.0 slot and you have everything you need for OTG in one very portable unit.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cpewy:
I have used Sony Xperia S (Android 4.1.2; 6.2.B.1.96) for almost 1 and half years. Recently I have changed the mobile carrier. As soon as I inserted the new micro sim card, the mobile started the settings reset automatically. I wasn't even given an option of rejection. After the setting reset, every app that I have dowloaded was gone, together with SMS messages , contact, ect. But the data appears still in the mobile, since the available storage hasn't change and I can use the USB data cable to copy some data out. Is there anyway to recover the data or reverse the unwanted "setting reset"? Especially the SMS and the social app chatting records? My phone hasn't been rooted. :crying::crying::crying:

Whenever I try to install lollipop, I can't get my data to work, and root also seems to always be broken.

And if someone can tell me how to fix root, that'll be awesome as well.

lollipop roms are in beta stage. Don't complain about problems because you should already expect them. Just wait for the official release.
[T-Mobile LG G3] luc.highwalker:
I wasn't complaining... I was asking where I can find the correct modem to flash. You know, that's kind of what the Q&A section is for. To ask questions and get answers on how to make some of these roms work properly..
[T-Mobile LG G3] bfederspill:
If I were you I would just check each of the Lollipop ROM sections and read through the comments. Usually somebody also has had a problem with data and such and somebody else usually has the answer to help fix it. I'm using Illusion Lollipop and it's working pretty good.
[T-Mobile LG G3] luc.highwalker:
Wow thanks! I must have tried atleast 6 different lollipop roms. This is the first one that works for me!

it told me i should have root and root explorer, what are those? sorry for being idiot
[General Questions and Answers] |>/\nte:
Root will give you access to the phone's system files. It's required for most firmware tweaks and modifications, as well as by many apps on the play store. Root explorer is one of the many root browsers (file manager that can take advantage of the root access) available in the play store. Another one I'm using on my xperia u is root browser. Anyway, you can gain root access extremely easy on your phone. There are many ways, but since I guess you're new to that stuff, you should do it with a rooting toolkit. Since you have the 6.1.1.b.1.100 build, you first need to flash the kernel of the 6.1.1.b.1.10. After this you can use a rooting toolkit to root your device. After rooting, you'll need to flash the 6.1.1.b.1.100's kernel again. Then you can install a custom recovery, like the one you mentioned. For flashing the kernels you have to use the flashtool (search it on the net) and you can also search the net for a rooting toolkit compatible for your firmware. I don't remember what I had used on my xperia u, since it's now running a custom rom.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunting9:
It seems I have a big mess on my hands, and would greatly appreciate any help given.

I have a Gen 1 KF with no factory cable. I just recently updated TWRP and FFF with the latest KFU. However, I can not do no fastboot or adb commands what so ever. Under my device manager it shows " Android Composite ADB Interface" but under my command prompt I get the error message "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file". When running TWRP, I get the ADB status: online, and Boot Status: 4000 (normal).

With that being said, somewhere in this process I wiped and have no OS currently installed. It also says my KF is not rooted anymore and would I like to install, which I do but nothing happens.

When I reboot in normal status all I get is the kindle fire logo screen. I can get back to recovery thru using TWRP.

I have no idea where to go from here, and was hoping you guys could please help me out.

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basenjidad:
You need to be in the same directory as adb or set the path to include it.

I can get to the C:\kfu and see all the directorys and what not. Then I go into tools and I can see the adb.exe, and supposedly I should be able to type code: "adb devices" to see if its working properly but all I get back is the error message above.

Are you using KFU?

Yes, I have the latest version of KFU 0.9.9, and it seems to be working fine. Can I still install a new OS using TWRP, but I can not get a zip file to the SD card on the KF to use TWRP to install. Right now I have no OS, and I can't push a zip without using the ADB commands, correct?

Correct. The error you're describing suggests that Windows can't find adb.exe Either change to the directory that has and or change path: to include C:\KFU\tools.

google apps are installed with a GApps zip

like gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip like the rom zip

Many roms like CM do not include Google apps, because of copyright issues, so they are separate install files

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

It usually best to install the Gapps file recommended by the dev.

If there is not one recommended or link is dead, use a gapps zip for the same android version of the rom.

You installed a KitKat rom so you want to use a KatKat Gapps zip.

Google Apps are updated often, and usually newest gapps are best, as long as it still same android version as your rom.

I prefer PA Gapps it has a more detailed installer, and several different sizes depending on how much google you want.

401MB to 88MB , because the Kindle does not have a lot of storage, you may want to install the micro or mini versions
