There's settings in the phone dialer to turn on secure WiFI connections.
[Nexus 6  General] swest6602:
Central Massachusetts. Received my invite on 8/13. Placed order on 8/14. Received the welcome kit & sim on 8/19 via the free ground delivery (I already had a Nexus 6). I don't recall my exact request date, but it was within a few days of the site going live.

In early July my status changed from 'pending' to '12-14 weeks'. Needless to say, I was bummed. Late July my status changed to '2-3 weeks' I received my invite at the beginning of the 4th week.

I have been reasonably pleased with the service so far. I am still running my Verizon build as I have not had time to flash the Fi build. T-Mo service is OK in my area. Sprint not as good, but not horrible either. I occasionally use T-mo's $30 pre-pay plan with a OnePlus One and find coverage generally strong. ndoor coverage is bad, and there are still too many dead zones for someone used to Verizon.

It's been a couple years since I used Sprint (Nexus S) but I find coverage about the same as it was back then. Spotty in Central MA, better & better as I drive East towards Boston.

For me this means the combined T-Mo/Sprint coverage is pretty good. I've had no Fi auto WiFi connections yet. Not sure if I have to flash to Fi build or if there are just no good public WiFi locations in my area.

[Nexus 6  General] knives of ice:

so nobody has a pre-rooted zip we can flash then? i really don't feel like going through the entire root process again

I'm pretty sure you have to flash a Fi build, the dev of Pure Nexus is on Fi and he said the setting to turn it on is in the phone dialer settings.

He also said it connects to WiFi last, that you have to have a very bad cell connection.
[Nexus 6  General] TexasRules777:
Hey for you guys that have activated your Fi service, where you rooted when you activated your sim? I'm getting conflicted reports that it won't port your number if you're rooted. I'm on the M 3 preview and need to know if I should go back to stock to activate.
[Nexus 6  General] fuzzybuffalo:
I have not activated yet, but I've seen 2 or 3 people say they activated on Pure Nexus ROM, and it's definitely rooted.

Will let you know Monday if it works for me or not, and I'm porting my number.

I have been on 2 - 3 weeks since July 25, and thought I would never get the invitation. I have had my nexus 6 since December 27 ordered from Motorola. Currently on T-mobile with their $30 unlimited data plan. Will probably get sim card next week while I am on trip. Can't Wait, Cheers to everyone

Thanks for the replies guy's. Looks like I'm gonna back some things up and take the plunge :good:
[Nexus 6  General] souless poet:
I was rooted and would not allow me to activate. I had to flash back to stock and unroot. Once I was back to stock instantly activated. Fi techs said its hit or miss on activation when rooted and I talked to four different ones. Was running pure nexus when I tried to.
[Nexus 6  General] meh3884:
I activated from stock rooted fairly easily. I did have to wipe the data of the fi app and reboot because my phone froze up, but the tech didn't say it had anything to do with being rooted. Was an easy fix in any case.
[Nexus 6  General] souless poet:
Believe I was instructed to go to WiFi setting and then advanced settings and toggle use open WiFi automatically. That let's the WiFi assistant connect to open WiFi networks. I'm running build number lmy481. I have not tested it on open networks yet as I have finally gotten device to activate. Will update tomorrow

---------- Post added at 04:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------

Unfortunately for me I tried that. Actually did a wipe and fresh install of all the apps and cleaned cache got everything up to date etc....and I had to flash back to stock. Hit or miss I guess. Has anyone actually gotten it to activate while on pure nexus and not rooted stock?

[Nexus 6  General] EvilDobe:
Request: 4/22

Received: 6/24

Activated: 8/25

I just took the plunge into Project Fi. Ordered my phone & setup my plan. Super nervous about it. Hopefully it doesn't suck in my area.
[Nexus 6  General] uploder:
so its been about 24 hrs with Fi. Here's my experience so far. Overall Im thinking its enough to ditch tmobile. Speeds are pretty much comparable to what I was getting with tmobile before. I've only connected to sprint twice that Ive seen (Fi Spy) and the speeds were terrible. Not a deal breaker for me though.

Activation

I figured I'd flash the latest Fi build in preparation. So I flashed bootloader, radio,recovery boot and system via adb. booted up fine but I noticed I got the "dialer has stopped" error almost immediately. I tried downloading the Fi app and also noticed that I only had the option to update but the Fi app wasnt in my app drawer. So I updated,powered down. popped in the Fi sim and fired it back up. I still had the no sim icon and dialer has stopped error. When I tried to activate I could only get "account access only" and was unable to activate. So I reached out to support who is awesomely nice and down to earth but ultimately their scope of support is pretty narrow. They suggested unroot, so I did. Same error. Then they suggested I wipe data from the Fi app, messenger, hangouts, and the google dialer then make sure all apps were up to date. I did so rebooted, same error.

After about 30 mins I realized I wasnt getting anywhere and the rep suggested ordering a new sim. Now because I wasnt 100% sure they were right and it would take another 5-10 business days to get a new sim I figured I restore my backup (latest Tmo build LYZ28J) which is also rooted and on latest franco kernel and I activated with no issue. Weird. Anyway I would say the service is a lil further along than beta stage. The only bugs Ive encountered once the service was up I was connected to the wifi at work pretty much all day but when I left I noticed that my phone was still connected to the work wifi even tho I was nowhere near in range. A simple toggle of the wifi fixed it. I may try flashing the Fi build later but at this point its really only beneficial if I want to tinker some more.

TL;DR slight hiccup activating but service has been awesome ever since. God I love google.
[Nexus 6  General] fuzzybuffalo:
Well, I finally got my Fi sim today. Ported my number and filled out porting info when I ordered sim.

Using MultiROM with four ROM's installed, all rooted.

Two M preview 3 ROM's, JDX 3.0.2 and xTRaSmooth. Stock rooted LVY48E and the Pure Nexus ROM.

Activated on Pure Nexus first and all went smooth, but it said 1 to 2 business days to transfer number.

I thought, well that's no fun, so I went to sleep for 2 hours. When I woke up, my number had already transferred.

Booted JDX and it went through Fi activation, but said it wasn't fully activated with error code T031, I think. Everything worked though.

Booted xTRaSmooth and it would not activate. And instead of saying Fi Network, it was saying T-Mobile.

Booted stock rooted LVY48E and activation went smooth.

YMMV, Have fun and Good Luck.
[Nexus 6  General] bweN diorD:
i activated on a new number to try it out, and forwarded my current vzw number to the new one. then when im done testing, i just un-fwd my number and carry on as usual.

it really depends on how good the coverage is where you are, and the best way is to test it. i haven't noticed any issues with the network and coverage is better than vzw for me, even though data speeds are much worse.

if i didnt have a vzw unlimited plan, i would defiantly stay with fi.

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

i have no direct knowledge, but its my understanding that if you port your number to fi, your current line will close itself without a number associated. thats early termination, and would be subject to that payment immediately.

i doubt there is anything im place to prevent the new activation, as long as your current account is in good standing.
[Nexus 6  General] jbinkley:
Hey guys any input on this? Google support said I cant activate because me phone is rooted?

[Nexus 6  General] mrw1215:
So, since switching to Fi, I keep getting phone calls from a number with an area code from San Jose, CA. Given Google is based in California, I assume it's a call about Project Fi, welcoming me to the service, or something. I don't purposely avoid the calls, I'm just busy or away from my phone when they call, and then I notice it as a missed call later on. Honestly, it's getting a little annoying that they keep calling. Anyone else on Fi been getting these calls?
[Nexus 6  General] sneezyH:
Not at all. Weird. Haven't even heard of that until now.
[Nexus 6  General] slosrtnick:

[Nexus 6  General] meh3884:
No, that's weird. Did you port your google voice number? I used to get some weird calls with google voice - I heard once it was because they got numbers that had only been recently released and so a lot of people thought they were still attached to the previous owner. Not sure if true.
[Nexus 6  General] epic4grooted:
Do you pay for the service when you activate or when you get the sim and how much does the starter kit run
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
Starter kit is free. You pay when you activate the service, so when you put the sim in.

[Nexus 6  General] meh3884:
Is anyone else having significant issues when connected to the Sprint network? For the first week I had Fi, I never connected to Sprint (checking via Fi Spy), it was always T-Mobile and always working really well. After going on vacation and returning, I'm seeing Sprint a lot more often in Seattle, and it is disconnecting a ton.

It seems it will have full bars of LTE but as soon as I try to do something like upload a photo or something, the bars disappear to an empty triangle, then cycles through to the "!" icon, then LTE returns. If I try to stay connected to an IRC channel I use, it disconnects constantly - every few seconds. When I get back on T-Mobile I have no such issues.
[Nexus 6  General] Groid:

[Nexus 6  General] vwoom:
Well, still after a 3-4 week on the Fi invite list, since June 26 with nowhere in sight...I relented and just signed up tonight for the 100min $30 T-Mobile 5GB Data. My 2 Hangout accounts, with own separate unique Google Voice assigned numbers (apart from my ported Straight Talk/T-Mobile number) are all set and running perfectly, on data/WiFi calls...

How can one justify $30 + tax...running only on 1 GB, under Project Fi?!

Compare that, on T-Mobile. $30 net, without tax nor fees, gives you 5GB (plus I get 74Mbps down/66Mbps up WiFi speeds, here at work 5x a week). On top of that, Sprint has horrendous signals where I'm at here, in Los Angeles.
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
Because on Fi you get unlimited calling internationally. Only having an hour and 40 min of talk time a month doesn't cut it for me.
[Nexus 6  General] californiarailroader:
Sprint doesn't have any coverage up here in Mendocino County in Northwestern California, they roam on U.S. Cellular. I have good LTE coverage from T-Mobile though, including my home of Redwood Valley, halfway between Ukiah and Willits. Fi includes roaming, so any roaming partner of T-Mobile's or Sprint's, is also a roaming partner of Fi's.

I'm not doing this as my main line, nor to save money, it's a fun experiment for me. Google's not positioning this to compete right now, it's a learning experience for them.
[Nexus 6  General] vwoom:
Even long before Fi, Hangouts, etc...getting in touch with someone in "unlimited" and myriad of ways, is fairly easy to achieve...(I was born overseas...tell me about it).

A 100min limit...to circumvent, is a piece of cake.
[Nexus 6  General] EvilDobe:
Placed my order for everything & got the package a 1.5 day later. Hour or so later everything was configured & running. Only hiccup was porting my GV#. It took a few hours to get my messaging working. I could receive texts but my replies were never sent.

Besides using WiFi or data, how would you get around 100 min limit?

Need I say more.. ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Aldrik:
I must agree with this, I don't really talk on the phone much but I use Google voice most the time and tell everyone to use my cell number if its important and they cannot get a hold of me thru GV.

Plus as I've noticed my music listening Pandora, Slacker and Google Play Music doesn't seem to count towards my data so that's a big plus for me.

Google has a sick sense of humor...

Wouldn't you know it. Just as I signed up for T-Mob last night (and got the "Welcome to T-Mobile!" text at 8AM today)...

Here comes my Project Fi invite...at 10AM!!

1) What city are you in?

* Los Angeles (San Gabriel Valley)

2) Let us know when you signed up for your invite. Please use the date and time on the email that Google sent to thank you for requesting an invite.

* June 26th @ 9PM-ish (3-4wk wait)

3) Let us know when you received your invitation.

* August 28th (today, at 10AM)

4) Let us know when you activated your service and info on the process (when did you receive your SIM, how did you activate it, etc.).

* Since I will be traveling to Italy (Venice, Florence and Rome via Italo bullet trains..) this coming Dec, this will come in very handy for that trip and plan to activate Fi by Dec 1st and will test Fi, from EU (might not need that TIM Italy SIM after all, upon arrival..). Luckily, I still have my Lollipop LG G2 D801 T-Mobile with me, as back-up...and will swap SIMs by then. In other words, I am keeping both services running come Dec and likely maintain both..Some back to back comparisons..Hah!

With that said...someone from Project Fi could be lurking here, and must've read my Fi waiting (and/or me migrating to T-Mobile instead) rants...lol!
[Nexus 6  General] TiltedAz:
The 100min plan is ok if you don't use the phone much and Tmobile has good coverage. The downside is obvious - go over 100mins and it adds up quick. The other pain was the refill process and Tmobile's confusing texts telling me I needed to refill every 30days even though I only needed to refill every 3 months ($100 card refills).

I like Fi's secure lines and free tethering. I go to a wifi spot and data is free and secure. And then seamless call transfers as you walk indoors - we all know Tmobile doesn't always cut it indoors.
