Apr 23

Anyone who registered on Apr 23 got invite?

I see all recent invites are to people who registered on Apr 22. :mad:

Is there one radio I can use for Fi and my Verizon service, until I test Fi and decide if it's a keeper.
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
Just swap sims when you want to go back to Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] raiderep:
Not on fi yet but I flashed the fi build about a month ago and just got the e build update today. Still waiting, was changed to 1-2 weeks about three weeks ago...patiently waiting el goog. ?
[Nexus 6  General] iGoogleNexus:
Is the fi build posted online on Googles Site? :)

3) Let us know when you received your invitation.

Thursday last week.

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.).

Sim came with phone at purchase - lateral transferred google voice number.
[Nexus 6  General] markwebb:
I registered that day and still no invite and the site still says 1-2 weeks wait for 2+ weeks now.

Edit: I'll be da....! Just got the invite!
[Nexus 6  General] meh3884:
Congrats....it took them a little over 2 weeks to send mine when it said 1-2 weeks, too.
[Nexus 6  General] mrw1215:
Sigh. On day 16 after having switched to "1-2 weeks". I'm so impatient. @_@
[Nexus 6  General] Senegalensis:
Congrats :)

mine is 2 - 3 weeks. so should forget about invite for one more week.
[Nexus 6  General] sneezyH:
Mine is 1-2 weeks 19 days ago. lol...... sigh
[Nexus 6  General] markwebb:
I bet you get within a day or two!
[Nexus 6  General] sneezyH:
LOL I hope so! I'm tired of waiting.
[Nexus 6  General] limen123:
Still nothing on it. Mine has said 2-3 weeks since I checked last week. I have no clue if it has been saying that for any longer though.
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
I'm jn the vegas 'burbs (boulder city), signed up april 23rd, and i haven't got squat except the 2-3 weeks advisory... nearing the end of 3 weeks. i'm not holding my breath as is seems like they are not honoring the latest timeline predictions.

[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
I recieved my invite last week and welcome kit yesterday. Its a nice to get a welcome kit, but they didn't include the sim card in my package. Am I supposed to call them or wait for it to arrive?
[Nexus 6  General] RMarkwald:
Should be in the phone already.
[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
I should have clarified that I've had my Nexus 6 since November 2014 so that's not possible.
[Nexus 6  General] RMarkwald:
LOL - Yeah, I guess then it wouldn't be in the phone. There should be a link when going through the order process to just order a SIM vs phone.
[Nexus 6  General] meh3884:
They could have forgotten it, but the SIM card is in a tiny credit card sized package that was in the fedex box with the big welcome kit. Maybe double check the box to be sure it didn't slip between the cardboard flaps or something? Or get dumped on the floor?
[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
Nope its not in thwre I double checked. I assumed it was in the welcome kit but its not a big deal. I'll give Google a call and let them know anwyay. I signed up for it as a backup for when I travel outside the US since I had T-Mobile now with unlimited and I enjoy using 600gb+ a month on it. Project Fi is great for everything else besides data which is why I wanted it. :)
[Nexus 6  General] shugga101:
I received my invite 8/11/2015. I signed up the day you could sign up. I can't remember when that was. But I'm excited.

Upon going through the setup on Project Fi's website, I can't transfer my number from AT&T over. Project Fi support said that my number is locked and will need to be ported/de-activate my current service in order to do so or something like that. Has anyone else had problems with AT&T and transferring? Do I just have to wait for the sim card to worry about transferring?

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] markwebb:
!!! I can't even comprehend that.
[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
Well I was in a place where the cable sucked for the summer so I used a lot of tethering. The screen shots below are between my 2 lines (my wifes Nexus 6 and mine)
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:
Just got my invite and also have unlimited T-Mobile everything. Do you have to switch sims all the time for your scenario?
[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
No I can't find my Fi sim, but I was planning a trip overseas so I figured it was worth signing up for Fi. I haven't used it yet as I mentioned but its a simple swap to throw it in. I just need to make sure I'm running a Fi compatible ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:
Ok. With my T-Mobile Simple Unlimited plan it includes free international roaming data & text at most major cities. Don't think I need Fi...
[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
Mine does as well, but Fi still has more countries and you get free stuff. I like T-Mobile and Google so I figured having a backup just in case it's a good thing.
[Nexus 6  General] BackInA88:
Signed up for Fi the 1st day.

Got my sim Monday and flashed my phone back to stock LVY48C to see how the reception was.

Well I have a weaker signal in the plant I work in than Verizon and have dropped more calls already with FI than I have in the last year with Verizon.

No data in the bathroom! Got to have data when I poop! ;)

I ported over my GV number so no big deal to go back.

I also noticed it takes a little longer for texts to come thru?

I'll give it a few more days as I got an OTA today but I think that may have been for the stagefright bug and nothing to improve reception?
[Nexus 6  General] gdriggs:
You're either on T-Mobile or Sprint so your coverage will be different for better or worse. Baseband updates are included with every release but I don't write them nor test them extensively so you would be the only one with feedback for your particular service areas. You can look up the freqs used by the Nexus 6 in Wikipedia. Then you can look up the freqs used by each carrier in their respective entries.﻿ In general, the lower the frequency the better your chances are of getting getting service -- but you're on your own for finding out where each carrier's base stations are in relation to where you travel. These locations are rarely disclosed by the carriers but there are a couple of crowd sourced projects you may look in to; antennaSearch.com , cellreception.com, and opensignal.com (which has useful apps for both iOS and Android to help on the fly). Also see this thread to force switching between carriers if you want to test reception for both carriers.
[Nexus 6  General] success2be:
I'm in Vegas as well and signed up on day one. Finally got my invite yesterday. Not sure if I want to pull the trigger yet since others have reported missing calls with Fi.
[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
You cna sign up without activating it if you want to. I signed up on day one as well and its nice to have it as an option.

Haaaaa! Don't we all! You made my day :laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] ANDR01DN00B:
So I just checked my invite status for the first time and I signed up within the first 5 days the sign-up was launched. Should I count on this 2-3 week invite notice or not?

[Nexus 6  General] sneezyH:
Pffft maybe. 20 days ago I got the "1-2weeks" status. LOL

No. I'm still waiting. ..... and waiting. Sigh.
[Nexus 6  General] ANDR01DN00B:
Ah well...
[Nexus 6  General] oak:
Well, I signed up on the first day it was possible and received my invite today. I am keeping my old ATT plan and my GV numbers until I see how fi works. The thing driving me is that I have almost no data in my home office and texts rarely come through either. These things happening over wifi should be great.
[Nexus 6  General] sneezyH:
I got it! Just now! I'm not kidding! 11:12pm eastern time! Wth! I'm ordering it now!
[Nexus 6  General] metaphz:
Just got my Project-Fi invite. Still a bit nervous over the Google Voice # business. If I finish the sign up process online do I lose the functionality of my number or only after I pop in the SIM and activate it?

Aw well lucky you! How do I check when I requested an invite?

Check the email they sent you when you requested one? I requested mine 4/22/15 at 1530 EST according to my email and I received my invite 8/6/15 at 1736. My Fi package arrived via FedEx on 8/11/15 so there's a quick timeline for you.
[Nexus 6  General] sneezyH:
I just happened to get an email with my invite at 11:12 tonight.

So make sure notifications are on for your emails.

Also check the Project Fi website where it tells you your status because that will change to the sign up page where you order your sim or phone w/sim whichever you're getting.

The change will only take effect if you activate the sim.

My sim on on a fedex truck somewhere (will get to me friday or monday), and I ported my GV number (which I exclusively use), and everything works fine still.
[Nexus 6  General] mrw1215:
Day 19 after having been switched to "1-2 weeks" and still no invite. :(
[Nexus 6  General] sneezyH:
I was on day 19 yesterday from 1 to 2 weeks status change and I got mine last night at 11:12 p.m. Eastern Time. So yours is coming.
[Nexus 6  General] GPS3:
If anyone wants to prep their T-Mobile sim'd N6 while waiting for the Project Fi sim, know that LVY48E works fine with a T-Mobile sim while you wait.

Download LVY48E tgz factory images.

Use Wug Fresh's Nexus Root Toolkit to 'Restore/upgrade/downgrade' to LVY48E with 'no-wipe' and 'force flash mode'.

When that process finishes you'll receive an "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" and/or "No SIM card" after reboot.

Use Wug Fresh's Nexus Root Toolkit to root the phone.

When that process is finished use a file explorer to navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db.

Delete 'telphony.db'.

Reboot.

Profit.
[Nexus 6  General] meh3884:
What do you all think of dirty flashing LVY48E over LMY48I? Shouldn't hurt anything, right?

edit: I am already on Fi service with 48I
[Nexus 6  General] sneezyH:
Just received an email at 4:39 that my Fi goodies have shipped! I paid for 1 day delivery so I might (should) get it tomorrow. If not tomorrow then Monday since sat and sun aren't considered "business" days.
[Nexus 6  General] salamandar:
Invite Status is a JOKE!

Just got confirmation from a supervisor "Sergio" at project fi support that my 1-2 weeks invite status is an estimate at best (no surprise since its been 15 days so far).

Getting this information was like pulling teeth!

I was given a bad contact number that went straight to someone's VM who barely spoke English.

Finally got to the project fi support page and requested a call back.

My first call to a supervisor named Mark was horrible, he talked over me, wouldn't let me get a word in and made continuous excuses for why its OK for project fi to be so disorganized since it was an "immature service" and was "well within it's rights" to be so.

He then proceeded to give the usual BS about not enough lines in my area (really I'm using my GV number, wouldn't that free up my cell phone number?), system upgrades that may have delayed an email from the project fi servers, and he refused to admit they gave me a bad number, claimed he had no way to test it (oddly next supervisor both tested and confirmed it was a bad number right away!). Total BS express "lets get this guy off the line as fast as possible" attempt that didn't work.

Second call to a supervisor (Sergio) was vastly different, he was even willing to email in writing that the Invite Status was only an estimate.

"Hi Salamandar (name changed to forum name for privacy),

I am sorry to hear about the delay in receiving your Project Fi invite. As we discussed,

the time frame on the Project Fi website is an estimate. You stated that the status shows "you can expect your invite in 1-2 weeks" for 15 days now. It shouldn't take much longer.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Thanks!

Sergio

The Project Fi Support Team"

Jeez what a freaking mess that crappy service is, starting to reconsider. T-Mobile never had the balls to tell me they suck and I was a fool for daring to ask.
[Nexus 6  General] rlukas79:
i requested an invite in april, got my confirmation last ween on 8/8. Received the sim kit yesterday and activated yesterday too. First thing I notice, is that I'm dropping LTE connectivity like crazy. I live in a decent LTE coverage area for Tmobile and work in an area that has great coverage. For whatever reason as soon as I pop in the Fi sim card, I get LTE. As soon as I finish the activation I get knocked down to 3g so it;s definitely reverting to Sprint EVDO. IF I toggle airplane mode, it will connect back to LTE, only to fall back to 3g. Google's answer is Tmobile has an outage. Only issue is, the outage is more than 100 miles from me. It's definitely not that because I have Tmobile store a few miles from me and their LTE phones have no issues.
[Nexus 6  General] jamexman:
Not at all. Maybe you didn't enter your AT&T's account security PIN? It may have a security PIN (they usually ask for it when you call att for account questions). I remembered I had one setup and almost forgot to put it in the porting info. Check with att.
[Nexus 6  General] tucstwo:
Sorry, I guess Im late to the party on Project Fi. I even see that Google has Project Fi Nexus images (which I assume are useless without a Project Fi SIM) Anyway:

1) I am in NJ (08723)

2) Signed up just now (late comer) 11/14/2015

3) Not yet, just a confirmation that I've signed up.

4) N/A at the moment
[Nexus 6  General] onna:
Same here. Signed on the first day. Had " we are still determining status" for a good long while, then switched to 12 weeks, then to 1-2, and still 1-2, third week. Could it be that Google has trouble finding available numbers to offer in certain areas?
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
Well, I'm officially on Project Fi now. I am extremely impressed. Service works great and is super cheap.
[Nexus 6  General] madmartian:
I have a problem trying to flash the stagefreight fix for Project Fi. Release LVY48E is not yet in the NRT menu and when I try to flash it from my own download I get the following error:

"No-force encrypt boot.img for this android release is not yet available in the toolkit. Wait for WugFresh to update the masterlists, or start the flash stock procedure over again without the 'no force encrypt' feature enabled."

I don't want encryption enabled because it noticeably slows down the phone. I am currently running LYZ28E (T-Mobile) with no encryption. Project Fi might not be high on WugFresh's todo list. Is it possible for me to convert the stock boot.img file to no-force-encrypt myself?
[Nexus 6  General] Swamphound:
Have you considered running Stephen stock rom or Purenexus? They are no force encrypt and work with Fi I believe.
[Nexus 6  General] madmartian:
Thanks, but I prefer to stick with stock (rooted & no encrypt) for now. Though if one of them came with xposed built in that might change my mind (since xposed must be flashed separately currently).
[Nexus 6  General] Swamphound:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3075065 This is a stock ROM that is no force encrypt, has stagefright fix AND Xposed with Gravitybox preinstalled. It even uses aroma installer so you can choose what google apps, kernel or other mods you want. I'm waiting on Fi (why I'm here) but am on Ting and have TMO, Sprint and VZW prepay SIMs all working well with this ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] madmartian:
Hmmm... Tempting. It says it's based on LYZ28J. What does google really change from LYZ28J to LVY48E anyway? Should I be concerned about using a ROM based on T-Mobile stock when I'm on Fi?
[Nexus 6  General] Swamphound:
Make a backup, flash it and let everybody know. That's what this forum and being an XDA member is about lol! If you read that and many other threads you'll see that lots of folks are using it with Fi. Stephen also has a Fi-specific stock ROM but it doesn't have the stagefright fix yet. Also look at Purenexus ROM which has a Fi dialer zip as well. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3148214

Be adventurous, get wild, have fun and hit that thanks button!
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'm in New Castle, DE

I may have requested an invite 2-3 days before receiving an invite, can't remember. I received a Thanks! from Google for requesting an invite on April 22.

Got an update for Project Fi invites on May 21 stating it will take until mid-summer to get to all the invites.

Got an email on June 26 stating there is now a way to check your Project Fi invite status by visiting fi.google.com/signup

Got my invite on August 11, but had to order a sim since I got my Nexus 6 on AT&T.

Received Project Fi Order Receipt on August 12

Got a You're signed up!" email on August 12

Got a You'r Project Fi order from August 12 has shipped email on August 12

Will update once I receive my sim and activate

*****Update*****

So I get home from work and surprise, a huge(bigger than expected) box from Google. From the size and weight of the box I thought they may have sent me a new device. Once opened, the contents were a sim card and safety pin to use as a SIM ejector and another white box with a green bow on it. I open that and inside are three containers with a mobile battery pack, a white Case Mate case, and ear buds. Definitely made me feel good to be on the Google side.

Although bad news, when I inserted my Project Fi SIM I got a message that reads "Enter Sim unlock pin". Contacted AT&T and it seems that since I'm on their Next Plan they have the right to lock the device to their network until the payments are complete.

Informed the Project Fi rep by chat and they confirmed. They said I can keep all this stuff though, which is pretty cool. Thought I would at least be able to try Project Fi out and decide if I wanted to cancel with AT&T.

Is there anyway to get the SIM unlock pin besides AT&T? I'll root my device if I have to.
[Nexus 6  General] meh3884:
Dirty flashing LVY48E over LMY48I went fine. Have to also say I've been very pleased with Fi so far. I am using Avast's VPN app for using wifi networks that are not on Google's WiFi Assistant, such as my "secure" office wifi and the transition are almost totally seamless. So far everything is much smoother than I expected. In three days I have used 0.12 GB of mobile data. I'll be away from WiFi this weekend, looking forward to seeing how coverage is away from the city.
[Nexus 6  General] iGoogleNexus:
Meh... I think Ima cancel the service... Having alot of issues with connectivity and drop calls. Places where T-Mobile is dominant in service doesn't auto connect from Sprint. I know they are just starting off but looks like I'll come back when everything is working great in Miami.
[Nexus 6  General] norwoodesteel:
try this:

power down

remove sim card

power on

settings/apps/ project fi app/ clear data (clear data for SprintDM and Google Connectivity Services also)

power down

insert sim card

power on

activate Fi through the notification icon

allow it to finish, SprintDM should activate also

[Nexus 6  General] SFVDan:
Just got my invitation a few minutes ago after applying the day it was announced. Took awhile.

I'm on TMo at the moment and happy with the service and price. The only thing that might make me switch is the coverage area. The additional area covered by the Sprint LTE network may make this worthwhile for me.

One question I probably should have asked: Can you port over a number AFTER it's been activated? I want to try the service before I commit to it. If not, I supposed I can always cancel and reestablish it. <shrug> We'll see how it goes.
[Nexus 6  General] mrw1215:
Finally got my invite! Of course, though, you can only sign up on a computer, not via mobile browser, and I won't be home for another six hours or so... v_v Stupid job that I have to be at.

yeah, you can start with another number and port over whenever

Signed up on opening day. Finally got the invite today (19 days after status changed from "12 out more weeks" to "1-2 weeks"). I live in Wichita, KS, and already have my N6. So excited! Can't wait for my simm to arrive!

Signed up 4-22 just got this afternoon in Madison Wisconsin was about 19 days after 1-2 week status change
[Nexus 6  General] jamexman:
Yes, all AT&T Nexus 6's are sim locked. Just buy an unlock code from swiftunlocks.com ($7.99). I did, they just need your IMEI.

Code came within 48 hours (no weekends) and unlocked mine. I then wiped the phone and installed the Fi build with wugfreshs tool just to be on the safe side.

Edit: by the way, if you are financing it through next, make sure you get a new number with Fi, if you port your number, the full price of the phone will become due right away. Just letting you know.
[Nexus 6  General] oak:
I'm on ATT. Received my fi package today. Sim unlocked and am using fi now. Voice over ip works great. If coverage is good, I think I'll port my ATT number over.
[Nexus 6  General] mrw1215:
Was able to get my order placed. It just labels it as a "Project Fi SIM kit", though, so I don't know if I'll get the extra set of goods with it. I'd assume not, as I thought people said it's actually labeled as a "Welcome Kit". Maybe they stopped sending those to newer sign ups? Ah well.
[Nexus 6  General] oak:
I signed up Wednesday with just the sim kit and did receive all the goodies.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Thanks for the reply.

I already went through cellunlocker.net. I'm waiting on the sim pin now.

I still have to install the Fi build. Waiting for the pin first though. Didn't port my number as I may go back to At&t depending on the service I get in my area. My wife has Sprint which is horrible most of the time. I have no idea of how T-Mobile is in this area, I would say good, but I'll wait to see for myself.
[Nexus 6  General] knives of ice:
waiting on my sim kit. just got my nexus 6 via ebay today that is supossed to be unlocked, but it is a verizon nexus 6.

am i going to have problems? i highly doubt this is sim unlocked but i'm not sure.
