Thanks for the APN settings. I took my Project Fi SIM out of my Nexus 6 and put it in my Huawei Mediapad X2, put in these APN settings and everything worked great. Thanks again.
[Nexus 5 General] Robpol86:
So I'm in Monterrey Mexico and while Project Fi does work (I had to restart my phone as I got off the plane to get it to get any cell signal), it's super slow.

I had to try running speed tests like 20 times in different locations to finally get it to complete. Google services like Hangouts seem pretty responsive but everything else (Dropbox, Hipchat, browsing websites) is dog slow.

Also my time zone didn't change automatically for some reason. I had to manually set it to Central from Pacific time. Oh also everything under Cellular Networks is gone after I restarted my phone.

That "network may be monitored" text is because I'm on VPN.
[Nexus 5 General] Ebag333:
Interesting. What version of the Project Fi app are you running, and what have you done to make Fi work on your Nexus 5? (Wondering if you've changed the build.prop to emulate a Nexus 6.)
[Nexus 5 General] Robpol86:
I didn't do anything to my Nexus 5 other than pop in the sim card. I have the latest version that's in the Play Store.
[Nexus 5 General] TheDerekHarper:
ha ha well that defeats my purpose of buying an N5 (both 2013 and 2015 edition) Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 5 General] Ebag333:
There's a pretty high chance that the 2015 Nexus 5 (and 6?) will work with Fi.

Of course we won't know until they are released.....
[Nexus 5 General] Ebag333:
So I have been using my Nexus 5 for a while, and a couple things to watch out for.

Whatever Nexus 6 you use to activate service gets tied to the Fi account, which means no one else can use it for Fi. Just a heads up for anyone borrowing one to activate Fi.

I noticed that my battery life wasn't great, and checked wakelocks. One of the system components was keeping the device awake almost all the time. Tracked it down to Service Program AKA SprintHiddenMenu. I disabled it from starting using AutoStarts, and stopped it.

I also uninstalled the Project Fi app. Why? It seems it kept trying to switch me to Sprint when my signal dropped.

Finally, under Cellular Networks -> Network Operators I manually chose T-Mobile instead of Automatic. Since then I've had the signal drop, but never been switched to Sprint.

Now my battery life is back where it should be. 8-10 hours on a heavy usage day, 24 hours with light usage.
[Nexus 5 General] nilleo:
I can't get this to work on my Nexus 5 on the latest M Preview. I popped the SIM straight out of my N6 which I have been using on Fi for a while, and inserted it into my N5. Upon powering up the N5, it said that Fi activation was still required, but when I tap it to complete, it crashes. If I manually launch the Fi app, it crashes again. The network shows T-Mobile, with zero bars and a disconnected state.
[Nexus 5 General] Gandalf:
what did you enter for the username and password? the literal asterisks, i'm assuming?
[Nexus 5 General] ajsmsg78:
I just left them as they were. I didn't have to change them.
[Nexus 5 General] lellobello:
With the suggested apn works like a charm. Sony Xperia Z5 Compact
[Nexus 5 General] untruestory:
Service on my Nexus 5 using project Fi works fine... except calls over WiFi. Is this because it lacks Google's VPN? Has anyone been able to get calls over WiFi to work? If so, how? Can somebody post the Google VPN settings?
[Nexus 5 General] iamrico00:
Also interested in this, if you have a Nexus 5 on official or custom ROM marshmallow (not preview) then are you able to access Tmobile and sprint AND utilize wifi calling?

If so, Im sold!

Can you post your current Rom and success please, thank you,

Rico
[Nexus 5 General] agfor:
Happy with everything but tethering

- I transferred my number from Google Voice

- I unlocked using a co-worker's old Nexus 6

- My Nexus 5 is running stock Marshmallow (unlocked bootloader, but not root)

- As others have said, I'm pretty sure the phone is working just as a T-Mobile phone, no jumping to Sprint or WiFi.

- As others have said, WiFi Calling works fine with the hangouts dialer, but not with the normal dialer.

- I can send & receive texts with any app when I have data, but I have to use the Messenger app, not Hangouts, to send an SMS without data. I can't receive texts without data, though this doesn't matter to me, since I used Google Voice before and couldn't then either.

- Tethering does *not* work. I wanted to try the step described in this post: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/project-fi-nexus-5-t3136193/post61829298#post61829298 but due to my phone getting un-rooted during an upgrade, and then later the USB port breaking, I've been unable to run the command. I transfer files over Wifi and have a wireless charger. It requires root if run directly on the phone, and even the WiFi adb apps require either root or a one-time USB connection to tell adbd to listen on a TCP port.

I'm still undecided between keeping the existing phone without tethering, buying one of the supported phones, or switching back to T-Mobile. I have about two weeks to decide before my T-Mobile plan expires. If anyone knows of a way to change the tethering setting without USB or root, or how to get root without USB, I'm all ears.
[Nexus 5 General] grep_i:
I guess you could install a custom recovery like twrp through the app for it or with flashify. After that you can download root zip and flash it with either flashify or the twrp custom recovery
[Nexus 5 General] agfor:
Those apps require root to work.
[Nexus 5 General] grep_i:
Yes indeed
[Nexus 5 General] agfor:
If you re-read my post, you'll see the whole problem is I can't get root because my USB port is broken. So apps that require root aren't helpful.
[Nexus 5 General] grep_i:
But getting root without USB might help you I guess
[Nexus 5 General] agfor:
I asked about that in my original post. The apps you suggest don't help with that; they require you already have root to work. So I don't see what you're saying here.
[Nexus 5 General] grep_i:
My bad, did you already tried towelroot. If I'm correct you can root your phone with the app if your phone is supported of course
[Nexus 5 General] agfor:
It's not a supported phone.
[Nexus 5 General] grep_i:
Maybe ADB over wifi will work for your situation, I used it once a long time ago. You have to search Google for the details how to set it up and use it.
[Nexus 5 General] agfor:
Are you just trying to inflate your post count, or did you really not read my original post? As I said there, "even the WiFi adb apps require either root or a one-time USB connection to tell adbd to listen on a TCP port." Please stop responding to me unless you have something to contribute.
[Nexus 5 General] paperecho:
So I have been trying everything I can think of to get Fi to work on my HTC One A9. I own a Nexus 5x. Fi sim has been activated on that. Put the sim in the A9. set the apn per this thread.

Calls work.

sms works.

Can send MMS but not recieve.

The Fi app stays stuck at the Activating screen.

Because I own both phones I changed the a9's IMEI to the IMEI off the N5X. That produced the same issues.

Any other suggestions?
[Nexus 5 General] Akash1739:
Can i use this outside of u.s?

I live in qatar..can i use this network?
[Nexus 5 General] Robpol86:
Just wanted to post a follow-up for comparison. I'm back in Monterrey with my Nexus 6P on Fi.

First the good news: I get LTE! Now the bad: it's under a megabit.

Though it's pretty slow I think they do QoS since web pages load pretty fast. Unlike on my Nexus 5 this is actually very usable here. It jumps around LTE, H, and 3G. Timezone changed instantly and after 10 minutes of trying I got cell service at the airport and its been reliable ever since. This isn't very scientific since I dont have my Nexus 5 to test with but it may be that Fi on the 5 won't work very well internationally.
[Nexus 5 General] Robpol86:
Oh how I've missed my Nexus 5. Today I got my data only SIM. I activated it and popped it in my Nexus 5, and as expected it Just Works (true to the OP I first wiped my N5 and put 6.0.1 on it, set it up over WiFi and then put in the SIM after I activated it on my computer). Also as expected tethering didn't work. But like before, after running "content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0" through adb shell tethering did work.

I can also use Tasker to start tethering on boot so I can use my Nexus 5 as an improvised wifi hotspot since it's hard finding cheap unlocked tmobile hotspots.

Just for the fun of it I tried making a phone call to my Nexus 6P and a machine answered saying "The service you are attempting to use has been restricted or is unavailable." and then it hangs up.

Maybe I can use this as a sort of dash cam that takes pictures constantly and uploads it over WiFi or cellular. Now if only someone could get Google WiFi Assistant working on this ;)
[Nexus 5 General] lellobello:
Just an heads up.

For me the only MMS setting that works for sending (still get the MMS delivery failure for receiving MMS though) is http://mmsc1.g-mms.com/mms/wapenc and not as indicated earlier httpmmsc1.g-mms.com/mms/wapenc

Hope someone can figure out how to receive MMS

Edit* using hangout as default sms app with "messages" options flagged works flawlessly in sending/receiving MMS
[Nexus 5 General] cubanresourceful:
I figured this may be the best place, instead of posting a thread in a different forum due to the fact that I doubt anybody else has tried what I have:

I have Project Fi, and it's pretty cool. However, I switched from T-Mobile, and I'm used to be able to stick my SIM into whatever device I wanted to use that day, and all was good.

With Project Fi, that is not the case. I expected this. So, using the APN settings, I can get the Fi SIM to work on an iPhone. Awesome! It's cool getting things to work where it shouldn't.

However, on my Lumia 521, I cannot get the Fi SIM to fully work. The phone auto-selects the network and can make calls, but that's about it. Mobile Data does not work, nor SMS/MMS.

I tried to create a profile with the APN settings mentioned earlier in this thread, to no avail. It says there's a problem with the network, and never activates.

I was wondering, does anybody else have slightly different APN settings that worked for them, especially on a non-Android device? The Lumia 521 is running Windows 10 Mobile.

(For those who are wondering, I like having/switching interchangeably between Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile. They all have their ups and downs).

I know it can be done (without carrier switching and WiFi callling, that, arguably, isn't super important to me).

So, any suggestions? I can deal with just calling, but it would be cool to have mobile data and at least SMS, since iOS can do it (there was even a person earlier in this thread that has it working with a 4S).

Also, what this enables us is to not only have one phone that works with the network (for example, my 5X). So, if the 5X decides to not work anymore, I have backups.

Thanks for the help guys, and I hope this isn't the wrong thread (since I see other phones other than the 5 being successful in using Project Fi).
[Nexus 5 General] gurug:
TMobile Unlocked Note 4 Report:

Works:

Calls: No Issues

SMS: works but appends some weird text in one direction

Data: works

Tether: Nope :(

MMS: Outgoing yes / incoming no

Basically, right now only the Tethering is the deal breaker for me and i am trying to figure out how to handle that without rooting my device. Any help would be appreciated. I just ordered some data only sims too.
[Nexus 5 General] gurug:
can anybody help in getting tethering working on a Note 4 ?
[Nexus 5 General] thommyk:
You didn't find a way to circumvent this one-IMEI-to-one-account restriction, did you?
[Nexus 5 General] maryharris:
What's missing in this narrative is how the pFI SIM get's activated. You need a supported device (6 6P or 5X) to activate the service. Yes once it's activated you can move the card to another GSM phone but the orginal Nexus is now pFI locked to that phones IMEI. So now you have a supported device that will no longer work on pFI.

The more interesting goal would be if someone found a way to activate pFI directly from a "Nexus 5" (or other GSM)
[Nexus 5 General] dkokkos:
any updates on this? I do have a Nexus 5 laying around...
[Nexus 5 General] pgoelz:
Not sure I follow you.

I have a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 5x. The N5 was originally used on ATT and the N5X was set up on Project Fi (with a different Google account from the N5).

Nexus 5:

If I put the activated Fi SIM in the N5, it activates on Project Fi but remains on Tmobile (ie., it won't switch to Sprint). When I go to the Project Fi app, it says I have account access only but in spite of that, it can make and receive voice calls to/from my Fi number.

Nexus 5X:

I can put either the ATT or the Fi SIM in the N5X. It activates fully on either carrier.

Note that the N5X does NOT activate on Fi unless it contains the Google account I use for Project Fi. I can set the phone up with a different Google account as long as it also contains the Fi account as a secondary account.

[Nexus 5 General] murf1972:
Have you tried to activate two different Fi sim cards into one Nexus 5x? I wonder if is possible. In this thread summary, there is no way to activate Fi on Nexus 5. If so, I want to borrow Nexus 6/5x/6p from my friend to activate.
[Nexus 5 General] pahlerc1:
How did you put a Fi SIM in the nexus 5? I want to do this as my 6p is being RMA and the 5 uses a micro while the other devices use a nano
[Nexus 5 General] daion:
Use sim card adaptor, nanosim can be use on microsim slot with tray or adaptor around nanosim.
[Nexus 5 General] synesthete:
I have been using Project Fi for a long time on my Nexus 5x, but I just sent in that device for repairs as the flash chip seems to be going bad. I wanted to see if I could get Fi working on my old Nexus 5 with the same SIM card, so I have a phone while my 5x is being repaired. So far, I can't get a cell/data signal. I tried starting clean by flashing the latest official system images (hammerhead-m4b30z). The SIM card is recognized, but there is no Data/Cell signal. The Fi app prompts me to activate and puts me in "Account Access mode Only". Still I have no Signal/Data, even after rebooting. Oddly enough, the GPS does work, though. I also tried the manual APN setting provided in this thread, but it didn't work (There was no pre-filled username/password though).

Do I need to revert back to an older version of android or system image? Do I need an older Project Fi app?
[Nexus 5 General] anoukaimee:
Having the same issues now w/ my Nexus 6. Done everything: have tried 2 sims, 2 versions of stock, and 3 compatible ROMs. I do the repair code and it's listed as active, but I can't get data for the life of me, no matter what I do. Some work for a bit and then fall out. So sick of this. Currently trying yet another ROM to see if it'll do it.

Let me know if you ever found a fix.
[Nexus 5 General] synesthete:
I never found a fix. I just used it as a phone over wifi while my 5x was being repaired. Sorry that I can't be of more help.
[Nexus 5 General] anoukaimee:
Argh. So sick of this phone! Wonder if a different carrier would do better... well gotta make a decision

Thanks for getting back.
[Nexus 5 General] synesthete:
Once my 5x returned from being repaired (they replaced the entire main board), everything worked fine again. It was only gone for about 7 days, so it wasn't too terrible. I eventually gave up on getting the old Nexus 5 working on Fi, figuring that maybe it had something to do with the fact that the SIM had already been registered/activated with my 5x. I say this because the Fi app would notify my that the Nexus 5 was in something like "Account Mode" or something similar when I tried to activate it. Maybe you could request a new SIM card from Google and see if that worked. Was the 6P the one you originally activated the SIM with? I hope you get things worked out.
[Nexus 5 General] anoukaimee:
That's the thing: I just got another SIM, and it didn't work. This is the third in six months. My APN settings etc. are all fine. I did a clean flash, and then even formatted all the data to take things totally up a notch in terms of making sure it wasn't my problem...

I did a BYO with my Nexus 6. One thing that really irritates me is that, while I understand they're no longer "supporting" it anymore, Google is rolling out security updates monthly yet Project Fi--i.e., Google--refuses to push them to N6 customers. When I asked about it, two different reps both said to me "perhaps you should think about getting a Pixel, they're awesome." Argh. The phone is like 2 1/2 years old and I'm broke. The attitude just really frustrates me. I've seen kind of a decline in the quality of customer service--and all around competence--since I started with Fi.

The good news is: flashed S.i.X ROM's new Oreo beta release and it's working great for now. So cross your fingers.

Thanks for the commiseration!
[Xposed General] game360:
Hello. I am completely new to xda and I need help. I recently began tinkering with android. I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Centura through Tracfone. It was rooted using the poot method with SuperSU running as a system app and running stock rom, no custom recovery. All was well until I tried to install xposed. The installer would crash so I used ES explorer to move the xposed apk into the system apps. I changed the permission to rw r r, rebooted, and am now stuck in a boot loop. I tried going into recovery, factory reset, taking the battery out, still nothing. Could someone please help! I have no knowledge of cwm or odin, etc. and have never flashed anything. PLEASE give a STEP BY STEP guide on how to get back to normal!!! Thanks!
[Xposed General] TheAwesomeBit:
Try to get your hands on the official firmware of your device. The forums specific to your device is a good place to start.
[Xposed General] nobreak1970:
When you installed Xposed it should have created a .zip file on your sdcard called

Xposed-disabler-recovery.zip

Flash it. :)

EDIT: No custom recovery = do what above poster said.
[Xposed General] TheCodMaster:
Firstly Close the Phone (Plug out battery and Plug in)

And Search Google for "(yourphone) recovery mode"

After You Started Your Phone With Recovery mode Do a Factory Reset

When it finish reboot your phone

Sorry for bad english

Do we keep all content when we flash the recovery?

Hi everyone,

I have been selling the Gear S Black Metal Strap for a designer in Korea for some time now, but due to his refusal to produce more designs and variations, and also refusing to lower the price of his stuff, I have decided to see if I could produce these on my own for everyone.

I have already designed out the universal 22mm strap mount for the Gear S and have negotiated with several manufacturers.

I launched a IndieGogo campaign to help fund this ambitious goal of mine, but hopefully with your help I will be able to bring not only the mounts but also the custom designs we all have been waiting for, like the diesel and swarovski designs. Please share the campaign with those you know to help reach the goal. The sooner we reach it, the sooner they can go into production.

Here is the link - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/...d-designs-gear-s-and-beyond/x/11075144#/story

Please note that even if we do not hit my goal, I have alternative means to get the mounts to those who pre order them.

I have had Samsung Smartwatches since 2013 when the original Galaxy Gear came out. Back in 2013 it got loads of attention from people. But now a days when people see my Gear S they ask if it's the Apple Watch. In 2013 though, I was revolutionary.

This is no B.S. I was driving the other day and had to reboot my phone because it became sluggish. Of course it went into a rebooting frenzy so I took off the battery cover and pushed in on the microSD card.

Guess what happened...

The damn thing flew out of the phone, hit the windshield and went down the defrost vent! Sure, a 2 GB MicroSD card is about 30 bucks now, but 2 gigs of documents aren't.

So I called 2 Pontiac dealers and 2 body shops. The cheapest quote I had was about $500 and the most expensive was over a grand. They would have to remove my dash, all of the duct work, and possibly the compressor. Depends on how far it went and what tunnel is went through.

So I did what every normal person would do...

I tore my car apart, outside, in the dark, at 10pm and LUCKILY found it!

LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE. IF YOU REBOOT YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING, POINT THE DAMN SD SLOT TOWARDS ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE WINDSHIELD (well, not at an open window either).
