[Nexus 6  General] MrMiami81:
Do you have to be a T-Mobile or sprint customer to use the service? I ask because I'm on at&t
[Nexus 6  General] compchick813:
You'll just want to have decent Tmo and/or Sprint the service service in your area.

Shouldn't we all wait until we actually get an Invite before contributing to this thread? Nobody has an invite yet, so reporting that you don't have one doesn't really add any information. When they start arriving, then it'll be interesting to see where they come from and when people signed up. Until then, not so much.
[Nexus 6  General] sn0warmy:
Definitely a good point [MENTION=1436237]baudi11[/MENTION]. But I already posted so no take backsies!! :highfive:
[Nexus 6  General] shamelin73:
East Texas and about to order a Nexus 6 64GB just have to desied on Cloud or Midnight
[Nexus 6  General] Dusty Rhodes:
It'll be interesting to know how long after asking for an invite how long it actually takes to receive the invite. When you receive your invite you can then come back and update your post. That way people who come along later will have an idea of how long it takes to receive an invite after asking. Also, they'll know what the activation process is like.
[Nexus 6  General] baudi11:
All of which can be accomplished by simply waiting until you actually get an invite...
[Nexus 6  General] jason504:
I don't know about this service. It's going to be like pre paid. When I was on pre paid it sucked. You will not get the speeds sprint or T mobile customers get. I am on att which is faster than sprint or T mobile. So I am staying where I am at.

[Nexus 6  General] arunsharma7:
if I see this thread not more than 20 have got their invite, assuming Nexus 6 guys are more towards techie and active on net really I feel there won't be more than 10K (May be not even that) invite given. This should have been called BETA not some fancy name early access program. Just feel like they wanted to push sale of nexus 6 with this BETA lost all the excitement will think about if I get invite moving to Cricket now
[Nexus 6  General] qnet:
I'm disappointed also, but not surprised. In dealing with Google over the years it's always a weird experience. They are a cool company with some neat ideas, but have a strange ordering & launch process. I've never dealt with any invite system from them so I was hopeful, but still not sure about it.

I'm thinking mid-summer is the worst case, and they are saying that to cover themselves. I think people who requested an invite on April 22 will not have to wait that long. It may be more than 30 days but much sooner than mid-summer. I requested a invite on April 23rd, so I'm not sure were I stand.
[Nexus 6  General] stilger:
I got my actual invite earlier today and went through the registration process. I also just got the mid-summer email. Maybe everyone that signed up got the mid-summer email even if they got an invite. Hopefully someone else that received an invite will respond if they got the mid-summer email as well.
[Nexus 6  General] 02840:
Same here. While I don't need to have the service immediately, it was disappointing. I understand keeping the initial pool of users to a manageable level and will patiently wait to see how quickly they act to bring more users onboard. We should all be used to staged rollouts on Google services by now. My $0.02 for today. :)
[Nexus 6  General] shamelin73:
BAH

this is the email I just got from them:

Hello!

Thanks for requesting an invite to Project Fi. We’re really excited that you’re interested in trying our service! Over the past few weeks, we’ve been happy to bring the first customers onto Project Fi and the initial feedback has been very positive.

We're sending invites as quickly as we can, while ensuring a high-quality experience. Given the number of requests we’ve received, we currently estimate that it will take until mid-summer to get to everyone.

In the coming weeks we’ll have a way for you to check the status of your invite - stay tuned for more information.

Thanks again for your interest in Project Fi. We'll get you an invite as soon as we can!

--The Project Fi team
[Nexus 6  General] Luxferro:
I got the same BS email... oh well. Guess I can stop checking my inbox.

Their loss... fi coverage by me is great...
[Nexus 6  General] ericshmerick:
I'm betting 90+% of the people who applied for Fi don't even have a Nexus 6 and probably would never actually switch to Fi.

They just auto-signed up because of the exclusive feel (and to gloat about having an invite).

Google should cross reference the signup email with the user's Play Store Device (active) and quickly weed out those without Nexus 6's for the first shipping waves. There aren't that many unlocked Nexus 6's in circulation, and an even smaller number owned by geeks who signed up for the Project Fi notification.

If the submitting email matches a Nexus 6 being actively used on Device Manager, send the invite and ship the kit after you fill out the info. Non current Nexus 6 owners and all others will have to wait.
[Nexus 6  General] pzman89:
Yeah like everyone I got that bull**** email. Whatever.
[Nexus 6  General] jhienk:
Same crappy email here also. Has anyone checked out republic wireless. Been hearing good things
[Nexus 6  General] sneezyH:
Reading this actually made me feel there is hope! Maybe tomorrow!.....it's only a day away :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6  General] brockkk:
Don't give us hope. Don't do it.
[Nexus 6  General] sneezyH:
Okay then . Nobody gets an invite tomorrow because the Project Fi team started their Memorial Day holiday weekend right after they sent out those wretched emails. No hope.
[Nexus 6  General] xppppp:
Hope from "Annie"?

Seriously?! Now I've got that song stuck in my head _and_ no fi invite in my inbox.
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:

[Nexus 6  General] Knight-Rider:
This BS Google just pulled on some of us reminds me of the same BS OnePlus FAIL pulled on their invite system it's ridiculous!
[Nexus 6  General] cundiffr:
We'll get our invites soon enough, mid summer isn't far away at all. I'd rather them have a small number of people test it out before releasing it to the masses with a lot of connection issues etc. There's nothing to be disappointed with.
[Nexus 6  General] Luxferro:
The problem is a good portion of the invites sent out went to people who don't own nexus 6's, don't want to buy one, and don't care to test project fi because they love their unlimited data and use 25+GB of data a month... I guess after Google realizes very few people are actually testing it, they'll speed up the invite process, or perhaps adjust it so the people that actually want to try fi get invited...
[Nexus 6  General] crachel:
I signed up on 4/22 and got an invite on Tuesday 5/19. My Project Fi SIM Kit will be delivered next Tuesday according to FedEx.

I also suspect this is the case.
[Nexus 6  General] riverofice:

2) Invite request email: Mon, Apr 27, 2015 at 7:02 PST

3) No news yet.

4)

Would like to point out that the everyone that signed up got the last update, not just the people on the that signed up the first day. A friend that signed up 5 days ago got the same message as I did. I got the same message that everyone else did. They are not stopping the signup process until summer. They are telling you that it is going to take until summer to get everyone that signed up from April 22 2015 to May 20 2015.

I suspect that the majority of those that have signed up on day one will be given invites by the end of next week. Those that signed up later, maybe not until the beginning of June. And those that did not sign up until a few days ago, until July.

And for those that say people with out the nexus should not get an invite, little short sighted.

I just bought a nexus 6 not because of the invite, but because my new job says I have to have it.
[Nexus 6  General] qnet:
That's true, I hadn't thought of it that way.
[Nexus 6  General] burtonfamily101:
Got that same summer email here. But that's ok for now, still have to Nov in my AT&T contract anyway. Hopefully I be on it by then and say bye bye att.
[Nexus 6  General] droidxxxxx:
I mean it sounds cool but I see absolutely no reason to do it. What is the true benefit? No unlimited data won't work for me their prices are crazy high too.
[Nexus 6  General] RTNDO128:
If this only works on stock Android, that's a major deal breaker for me. I've been waiting for my invite since day one, but looks like I won't be using it when I get it.
[Nexus 6  General] mistertwo:
I can confirm that it works on Chroma/Lean kernel, at least so far. I was able to activate and transfer my number. Data, texts, and calls all appear to work fine so far. Not sure how calling on WiFi works yet though. I can't seem to get texts to work on Messenger but it seems fine on Hangouts.
[Nexus 6  General] Knight-Rider:
Google should've been smarter and should've made those getting invites enter the IMEI of the phone and either give or refuse the invite if the person does or doesn't have a Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] kalali:
why would google discriminate user based on having phone already or not? They sent out invites for everyone asking for it and we all will have equal change to join their service by getting just a sim or sim and phone. There is no different between the two. if a person receive an invite not not using it right away it is up to them nothing lost for google at all. Apparently google fi is doing quite well with invite sent out and the numbers of people join their services, that is why they take longer to give out extra invites to ensure their best customer services for those already in. fyi, i have nexus already and yes it is killing me for refreshing my gmail all day long for the invite but it doesn't make sense to see posts from people having nexus complaining they are not in priority invite list first.
[Nexus 6  General] TechnoGeek2134:
Hmm, yes, that is very ominous. I hope one day Fi and the other carriers share one same build so that everything is compatible with everything. Wouldn't that be awesome? A guy can dream..
[Nexus 6  General] mistertwo:
Just a quick update on the above. I seemed to be getting pretty poor cell reception with the latest Chroma build. Flashing different radios and adjusting settings didn't seem to help. Signal would be decent LTE or none existent for some reason. After flashing a stock LVY47H image, everything seems to better so far. I am still rooted and running Leankernel 2.8 though. Messenger works fine now as well.
[Nexus 6  General] ShoeStars:
I requested an invite within an hour of the appearance of the Fi invite page. I received an invite on 5/15 and got the SIM for my TMo Nexus6 on Wed 5/20. It took 30 hours for Verizon to release my number completely, but I was making calls within hours. Since Fi is using the same TMo network I was previously on, I can only say that it easily matched the reception I was getting from Verizon both in Michigan and Florida. But I live in a weaker signal area, and, at home, often have calls go straight to voice mail. The Fi Nexus6 just perfectly goes to WiFi calling through my home router on the very first day this week that I could use it!!! I'm thrilled, esp since the TMo Nexus6 wifi calling is still delayed until 5.11 comes out. Project Fi's wifi calling is built into the Dialer app native to 5.1. I've been only a limited data consumption user, so the 10 bucks per gig is perfect for me and will be more cost effective than TMo and way less than Verizon, which hasn't breathed a word about wifi calling. YES, Google, you've succeeded with Fi for me already!!
[Nexus 6  General] trim81:
Does mms use data or wifi?
[Nexus 6  General] GeneticJim:
MMS uses WiFi when connected to it otherwise it uses data
[Nexus 6  General] GeneticJim:

[Nexus 6  General] norwoodesteel:

[Nexus 6  General] californiarailroader:
I guess I am :D
[Nexus 6  General] lightfire:
What is the difference between hangouts dialing/use and Fi dialing/use. In other words, if a person is looking to use on WiFi, is there any advantage to paying the $20 per month? Does it work "better"? What about use on satellite based wifi? Does fi have optimizations that hangouts doesn't?

Any other word about the "can't use other carriers" part of Fi software?
[Nexus 6  General] blurfocus:
I'm in the Seattle, Washington area.

I received confirmation of my invite request on April 22, 2015. The email from Google began like this:

Thanks! Look out for your invite.

Just confirming that we got your request for an invite to join Project Fi. Congratulations, you're on our list!

On May 11, I received an invite.

You're invited to join Project Fi

We're excited to invite you to Project Fi. Earlier on, you requested an invite, and now we're ready to bring you onboard.

May 12

Your Project Fi order has shipped.

May 16

Your service is activated

You've activated service on Project Fi.

Steps that I followed are here -

support.google.com/fi/answer/6078618?p=activate&rd=1

Once activated and working, my Nexus 6 says "Fi Network" as the carrier name on the upper left corner of the notification bar.

I have been having mobile data connectivity problems as described in the following forum, but this was happening with the T-Mobile SIM prior to trying Project Fi. I was hoping that switching to Fi would solve that problem, but it didn't.

[Nexus 6  General] shanxybeast:
Got my sim card ordered. One thing I noticed when I place the order is it said I would need to have an immediate system update in order for my service to work. Any idea if custom Roms are going to be compatible with fi?
[Nexus 6  General] blurfocus:
I tried it with this CM 12 derived ROM

xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/rom-temaseks-unofficial-cm12-0-build-t3010323

and the ROM saw the Project Fi SIM as a Sprint SIM. I couldn't get service to activate. The Project Fi application didn't attempt to activate service either.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
You will most likely need a stock based firmware.

Anyone with fi service. What radio version are you on?
[Nexus 6  General] housry23:
It works with stock based Custom Roms. Worked for me with CleanRom, MeanPop and Stock Rooted LVY47H. Honestly though, I'm having issues connecting to Sprint. T-Mobile and WiFi calling and Texting work fine, but I can't connect to Sprint towers. I don't know if it's because I'm rooted, wrong radio or what. I also have a custom kernel, so there's that. If you want to be 100% sure you'll be successful in activating service, getting technical support and what not, you may want to flash the factory images. Most likely you'll want to flash the E image because I think the I one is mainly for Verizon and has a Verizon tuned radio image. I don't know all this for sure, but it's my suggestion to go back to stock. You could root, but I wouldn't run a custom kernel. It is NOT compatible with any of the 5.1.1 Roms or any AOSP built Roms for that matter.
[Nexus 6  General] crachel:
Going to test it out this afternoon.
[Nexus 6  General] jhienk:
Nice!
[Nexus 6  General] crachel:
My initial impressions are good:

I'm on Build LMY47D totally stock.

I had an update for Google Connectivity Services in the Play Store upon putting in my Fi SIM.

voice.google.com redirects me to Project Fi's page now.

My previous carrier was AT&T. I transferred my number, and basically instantly I am receiving SMS/MMS/Calls sent to my number in the Hangouts app. I gave them my account # when I requested the SIM several days ago, so maybe they initiate the process then? I don't know. It seemed awful quick.

To get Messenger to work, I had to disable "Messages" in the Hangouts app. As outlined here. This apparently removes your ability to receive SMS/MMS in Hangouts. I think it's a tradeoff between the full featured Messenger app and being able to send/receive messages from the PC

I can also send & receive SMS/MMS/Calls from Hangouts on the PC

I've made outgoing calls with the phone and the stock Android Dialer says either "Dialing" or "Dialing via [my WIFI SSID]". No idea how it's deciding on what network to use.

Nothing concerning about call quality. I could hear and be heard just fine.

Whoever I call sees my correct phone number on the limited number of tests I ran.

According to the Speedtest app, I'm on T-Mobile LTE and getting 6 down/1 up.. The building I'm in has a metal roof and gets terrible reception. I'll try more speed tests elsewhere.

There's still a lot for me to go through and learn. How Hangouts on the PC and Google Messenger and Android Dialer all interact with each other in terms of history and call logs etc, is still unclear. I will probably revise some of this as I understand it better.
[Nexus 6  General] kalali:
Do i need to unlock verizon stock rom LMY47E nexus 6 to work with fi or it will force upgrade to fi rom LVY47H.

Stil Impatiently waiting for invite
[Nexus 6  General] marctronixx:
ive been using hangouts in place of google voice for months. zero learning curve.

i have been on fi a few days now. was with sprint since 1998, so even though i closed my long time account with sprint, technically im still with them ;) so i still am getting the high level of call quality i have been used to. sprint REALLLLY wanted me to stick around, offering me all types of incentives... i almost cried.. ;)

wifi calling was missed when i left the htc one max and moved to the nex 6. now with it back, i have a bullet proof network at my fingertips.

i live in LA and thus far i am still getting the same level of service--no dropouts, no data lag (i average less than a gig of data a month but have not seen any data issues with mms, etc) no missed/dropped calls.

again zero learning curve. im stock not rooted and just received the 5.1.1 update today (and on my LTE nex 9).
[Nexus 6  General] brockkk:
****. You're making me mad that I still don't have this. I want to call them and literally beg for a invite.
[Nexus 6  General] itstherealest:
havent posted in a while but Ill be activating my service today. let you guys know how it goes shortly
[Nexus 6  General] GeneticJim:
Grrr still waiting for an invite! Anyone get an invite after the 22 besides that guy on reddit
[Nexus 6  General] jt3:
Marctronixx, a few questions for you, if you don't mind:

Have you been in the middle of a call and/or download during a wi-fi to cellular handoff (or vice versa)? Was it seamless?

What is your LTE data speed like?

Who do you have your N9 LTE data through... still Sprint?

Eventually, I'd like to move fully from AT&T (which sucks in my area), to Fi, but I have two phones and two tablets in my family, so at first, I'll only be able to move one of the phones. I can't wait until Fi supports LTE tablets. Have they given you *any* indication of when that might be?
[Nexus 6  General] itstherealest:
So my number ported very quickly which was nice. almost instantly. though i did provide the information when i ordered the sim. One thing im noticing. I switched from tmobile and now it seems to be connecting me to sprint which is giving me a weaker signal than i had with tmobile.
[Nexus 6  General] lightfire:
Can anyone address this question?

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/nexus-6-google-fi-exede-satellite-wifi-t3119749

If a person signs up and uses a google voice number to check it out for a couple of months, can they then port their main number to that account or does this have to be done when registering? If not, I guess a complete other account would have to be set up?
[Nexus 6  General] itstherealest:
Also my cellular network settings are now lacking options. strange.
[Nexus 6  General] helioXverse:
I finally got around to activating my fi Sim yesterday, so far everything has worked pretty well. I don't talk on the phone much but I was able to switch from WiFi to cell without dropping the app updates I had running in the background.

An interesting thing I found today, I removed my fi Sim and put my att Sim back in. When I toggled airplane mode, then only activated WiFi, I could still make and receive calls using my fi phone number. I'm using sinless ROM, with the newest T-Mobile radio, or what ever is the most current on the modems update sticky.

I'm also noticing cell network settings coming and going, it appears to be tied to which network you connect to. When I see I'm a Sprint tower, all the setting more or less disappear, but add the ability to update prl(something the gsm side doesn't do. When connected to a T-Mobile tower brings the back, and adds the WiFi calling settings menu.
[Nexus 6  General] itstherealest:
Thank you I was wondering why those settings were disappearing
