Not true. Motorola purchased devices do not start with 99 and work fine.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Motorola purchased devices will still show on your VZW account as Non-VZWDevice just like my Sprint one does. This isn't an issue of them working. They all work. What we are saying is that Verizon's system only sees Verizon-purchased devices as anything other than Non-VZW Device.

Mine was supposed to be here by noon it said...its now close to 3pm and I'm usually in bed by now..but no I wait. I checked FedEx tracking and now the delivery date/time says "Not Available"... Wtf! Couldn't even have it shipped to my current home since its a small(tiny) town with po boxes, so I had it shipped to my new house I'm remodeling and I don't have a toilet nor shower...I got done work at 8am and have been sitting here ever since.

Got mine, though I had to jump some hoops to get it last night.

Coming from a GNex running 5.1, I could say a bit of a disappointment, but only in terms of that I already had the Lollipop experience, the upgrade was truly for the hardware for me.

And I'm loving that hardware upgrade believe me! :)

For those of us who are using a Nexus 6 on Verizon, but didn't buy it from Verizon...

Obviously even though Verizon has launched the phone now, our phones are still showing on our accounts as "Non-VZW Device" because they weren't purchased from VZW, and therefore don't have an IMEI number in VZW's allotted range.

Verizon has a form that can be filled out by tech support personnel to get a device's IMEI added into the system so long as it's a Verizon-approved device (which the Nexus 6 now is). I'm told that it's used a lot for people who have unlocked iPhones and iPads so that they show up as legitimate devices instead of "Non-VZW Device." Yesterday, a tech support guy filled out that form for me and told me it can be 48 - 72 hours before we get a response back. There's no guarantee that mine will actually get added to the database and begin showing up as a Nexus 6 on my account, but I figured it was worth a shot.

I'll report back once the form either gets approved or denied, and let y'all know what happens. For reference, mine was originally purchased at full price from Sprint. I wanted to get one from Google Play or Motorola, but I eventually got sick of it selling out in 5 minutes and always being out of stock, so I started eyeing carrier stores. T-Mobile flat-out refuses to sell a device to anyone without an account, so that was a lost cause. Luckily, though, I found a Sprint store that had them in stock. They tried to tell me that they couldn't sell me the phone unactivated, but when I said "I have hundred dollar bills. I want to give you these in exchange for that box right there," he got the manager. He asked me what I was going to do with the phone and I said "I'm going to use it. The Nexus 6 works on every major US carrier with the swap of a SIM card and y'all are the only ones who have it in stock." He hemmed and hawed for a bit, but finally agreed to sell me the phone unactivated. :good:
[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
I have no doubt that you'll get it added by going thru their official hoop. :) at the same time, perhaps it may take some time before they just bulk add other imei's to the system? I mean, it's only day one on VZ here....
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Yeah, we shall see. They bulk added IMEIs for the Nexus 7 LTE so they may do the same for the N6. Time will tell.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
Hopefully that will work but I don't read of many successes for that with the iPhones. Please keep us updated, thanks! If yours works, I may try it with mine.

The SIm-free iP6/6+ IMEIs are already on the Verizon whitelist. It is the AT&T, TMobile and Sprint iPs that people haven't had success getting Verizon to whitelist even when unlocked.

---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

To be more clear, currently, only the Verizon branded N6's are whitelisted. If Best Buy starts offering the Verizon branded N6, it will be a whitelisted device.

None of the non-Verizon branded N6's are whitelisted at this time. However, they work fine on Verizon if you can get Advanced Calling added as a feature on your line. The main issues with them showing as unrecognized devices are VoLTE, Asurion insurance and the line discounts.
[Nexus 6  General] 92slammer:
i bought mine straight from motorola.....I could never get a good answer from verizon or asurion on if they would cover it or not so i purchased motocare and dropped asurion off my line. I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan so i dont plan on buying another phone from verizon anyways. also mine is listed as non-verizon device but it really doesnt matter. I had a LGG3 prior so I had the VoLTE already :)
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I did the same thing. If you would have kept Asurion, they have raised not only the monthly price but the deductible. Insurance alone (not including extended warranty) is $7.15/mo and the deductible for a 32GB Moto X 2014 is $149 so for a 64GB N6 I bet it would be $199 deductible if they would even try to replace it with a 64GB phone.

For $129 for 2 years with 3 accidental claims at $39 deductible, I will take the MotoCare. Also, if you get a Wells Fargo VISA and pay your cell phone bill with it each month, you get loss/theft protection with a $25 deductible for up to 4 lines.

There are methods to use your upgrade and keep UDP.

http://slickdeals.net/f/6964624-upgrade-and-keep-your-unlimited-data-with-verizon?v=1

It matters if you have More Everything plan b/c the line discounts for Edge and month to month are affected but you don't so it is fine.

We are both in the same situation - we both bought MC and dropped asurion, have UDP so don't care about the line discount and were able to use another phone to get VoLTE added as a feature to our lines.
[Nexus 6  General] 92slammer:
and that was another problem with asurion....verizon only carries the 32GB model....i purchased the 64GB and dont feel like getting screwed out of 32GB...LOL

The spec of the phone says that :

Why my storage and program don't reflect that?

Also, I don't see any programs actively running, but it still says 19.14 is used?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippychimp:
Hi, I recently shattered the original lens on my S5 and bought a replacement on eBay, but it turned out to just be a cheap piece of plastic, not glass, so it doesn't allow the camera to focus. Does anyone have any experience with replacing theirs with something of comparable quality to the original? Does it focus as well? If so, can you provide a link to the item so I can buy it?

Thanks for your help!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qubbus:
Problems with focusing may be caused with phisical damage after shattering glass or during replecament procedure there was mistake made and damage occured.

Are you 100% sure there is no broken glass left? Even small particle may disturb camera focusing or small fingerprint on lens.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippychimp:
Thanks for your reply. I'm fairly certain there was no damage to the lens and that I was careful in not damaging it and removing all the broken pieces before replacement. Since the camera otherwise works, I'm guessing there was some optical quality in the original glass that doesn't exist with cheap plastic.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xymay:
Definitely, original part's quality is different than oem-compliant parts. Even the price can tell the difference. I found this supplier, they have the original S5 camera lens, http://www.etradesupply.com/catalogsearch/result/?warehouse=0&q=galaxy+s5+camera+lens hope it helps
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippychimp:
Thanks for your response. Turns out there was a tiny piece of glass tapped inside that was causing the focus issues. I took the new one off, cleaned everything with a q tip, put another piece on, and it's good as new. False alarm, I guess.

Won't HW encryption still be slower than NO encryption?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rub1k:
Do we know for sure that HW encryption is enabled in 5.1?

Looking at some of the commit messages, I first thought that it *might* be but the more I looked at the code, the more it looked like they did a lot of prep work but actually kept it disabled (i.e. we're still software-only).

I could be wrong, though...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboFool:
Really hard to judge. But either way, it's clearly improved. Less fast than NO encryption, much faster than before. Sounds like that's PROBABLY due to hardware.

Either way, I do have to say that so far my phone's performing better. Not merely subjectively. A game I play (Spider-Man Unlimited) was impossibly laggy before. It was known for having lag issues, but on my Nexus 5 and 6, post-Lollipop, it was nearly unplayable. In the short time I've been running 5.1, it's been a dramatic improvement. So even if encryption does cause a small hit, other improvements have more than made up for it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aa_chow:
For those that do know how (I don't), can we find out if hardware is being utilized? Perhaps through source code or logs?

https://plus.google.com/+FranciscoFranco1990/posts/3RKjDGjjPQ7

So still software, but using NEON from the chipset. I am not an expert on this, but from what I gather, it's similar to GPU-accelerated encoding of multimedia?

Also hoping that proper hardware-accelerated, which Google experimented with but disabled, will be re-enabled/implemented soon.
[Zooper Widget General] Dracar:
I want to create two side by side bars to show my exact position in my monthly billing cycle and my data used to give me an accurate idea of how well I am doing data-usage wise. I have tried a bunch of stuff but I cant get it and was hoping somebody here could help me out. This is what I have tried so far.

My billing cycle restarts on the 7th.

My first attempt was to get the number of days since last months 7th and today and subtract the number of days since this months 6th using "#D...Td#" to get the number of days in the last billing cycle but the strings ended up really long and I couldnt figure out how to subtract one from the other.

My next try was using the number of days in this month if it is after the 6th and use the number of days in last month if it is before the 6th. This is what I came up with.

[B]#$0$# [/B]#D$#DM#=1?[B]2014[/B]:#Dy#$$#DM#>1&&#DM#<11?0$$#DM#=1?12:[B]7[/B]$010000l#

This is the logic I use to get a datetime stamp of last month:

If this month equals 1 then append last year else append this year

if this month is greater than 1 and less than 11 then last month is a single digit so append a 0

if this month is 1 append 12 else append this month minus 1

append 01 for the first day

append 0000 for HHMM

I use the generated string in #D...l# to get the number of days in last month. Doing this I ran into two(maybe three?) major problems. The one is that i dont know how to perform an operation inside the if/else without breaking the containing "#D...l#" call. The second was that while I was testing things out (I had a few different strings to try and get last months days or the cycle day count) I removed all of the stuff I wasnt using it broke the working one. I trimmed as much as I could without breaking the semi-working string. if I remove the (useless) "#$0$# " from the beginning the second half stops working again.

The last problem is that I am not completely sure how to use this once I get it. I was going to set the progress bar to start at 1 and end at the number of days in this cycle but then I would have to do a bunch of checks on the current day of the month to find out which day in the cycle it is.

So... Is there an easier way to do all of this? Either way I would like to see how to make the line I quoted above work.

Thanks!
[Zooper Widget General] jr67:
You should also keep in mind that the data usage info that Zooper displays resets when you reboot (I believe it also resets if you wipe the app cache).
[Zooper Widget General] Dracar:
It looks like it maintains across restarts for me too (using an S5).

I actually came up with another solution which I *think* is completely accurate for cycle time and I was leaving it go to make sure the numbers always looked right. About half way through the billing cycle my data usage broke 1GB and #NTMTMM7# started reporting in GB rounded down to one decimal place. Is there any way to force it to display in MB or, if not, make it display two decimal places? With two I could just check if usage is < 3 and if so, assume GB and multiply by 1024, else assume MB and multiply by 1. It won't be accurate for the first 3MB but that will pass quickly enough.

Looks like I was using the wrong string here after all. I switched it to #NTMTMM6# (#NTMTMM7# seems to be way off, 6 is closer but still like 12MB off...)

The strings I am using to get the min and max values for my day progress bar are....

Min: -$#Dd#>6?(#Dd#-7)$$#Dd#<7?#D$$#Dd#<7&&#DM#>1?#Dy#$$#Dd#<7&&#DM#=1?(#Dy#-1)1207$$#Dd#<7&&#DM#<9?0$$#Dd#<7&&#DM#>1?(#DM#-1)$$#Dd#<7?070000Td#$

and

Max: $#Dd#<7?(7-#Dd#)$$#Dd#>6?#D$$#Dd#>6&&#DM#<12?#Dy#$$#Dd#>6&&#DM#=12?(#Dy#+1)0108$$#Dd#>6&&#DM#<9?0$$#Dd#>6&&#DM#<12?(1+#DM#)$$#Dd#>6?090000Td#$

Which shows -23 (days since 7th of last month) to 8 (days until 6th of next month) right now. I just set Value to 0.

I tried setting min to 0, Value to my current Min, and max to my current Min + my current max but I don't know how to get them to add together. I don't plan on having numbers once I figure out how to make this accurate so that isnt an issue. I just need to test them for another week or two to make sure the cycle end/starts are correct and test them for December/January to make sure the month/year corrections are right. Of course all of this is for nothing if I can't figure out how to get the data accurately.

I saw that before I posted but I was hoping to come up with something more accurate. I guess I don't know how Sprint works internally but the data used in my account and if I am charged an over usage fee seems to be based on 7th-6th cycles, not 30 day cycles.

Edit:

I finally tested my script with a few different days and made some changes. It looks like it works pretty well. If anybody else needs it...

Day of Cycle (replace all (0)6s with the last day of your billing cycle, add a - sign to use as the min value for a progress bar)

$#Dd#>6?(#Dd#-6)$$#Dd#<=6?#D$$#Dd#<=6&&#DM#>1?#Dy#$$#Dd#<=6&&#DM#=1?(#Dy#-1)$$#Dd#<=6&&#DM#=1?12$$#Dd#<=6&&#DM#>1&&#DM#<10?0$$#Dd#<=6&&#DM#>1?(#DM#-1)$$#Dd#<=6?060000Td#$

Days left (replace all (0)7s with the first day of your billing cycle)

$#Dd#<7?(7-1-#Dd#)$$#Dd#>=7?#D$$#Dd#>=7&&#DM#<12?#Dy#$$#Dd#>=7&&#DM#=12?(1+#Dy#)$$#Dd#>=7&&#DM#=12?01$$#Dd#>=7&&#DM#<9?0$$#Dd#>=7&&#DM#<12?(1+#DM#)$$#Dd#>=7?070000Td#$
