[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowpok22:
I went to the project fi site and got an instant invite, my question is if you root will that effect the service? I know the pay won't work on my rooted phone but that doesn't bother me
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
Android pay works with root, you have to unroot while entering cards, then you can root again.

How'd you get an instant invite? Most people have to wait weeks. Root shouldn't effect service.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowpok22:
Not sure, maybe location? Wasn't expecting it, on an one m8 at the moment and don't feel like messing with it to make pay work on it. Using T-Mobile $30 prepay at the moment and not really using any where close to my 5G's of my data, and using hangouts for 90 % of my calls works ok, so I figured I'd give fi a try.

Now that you're signed up for Project Fi, all that's left is for us to ship your order. We're on it, and we'll follow up with a separate shipping confirmation.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrc27:
You may be able to add cards while you unroot, but the actual tap and pay will not work if you are rooted.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ylexot:
I got an instant invite too. I think it probably has to do with location. Fi is an experiment, so Google would probably want to have people running it all over the network area.

Where did you see that it would be SIM locked to Fi? If that's true, I'll probably just cancel my order because I have very little faith that the service will be acceptable where I live. I was going to give it a shot and if it sucked, I was just going to throw my Verizon SIM in.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

FYI, I just looked at the Fi help faq and it says you can cancel any time with the payment plan, but you have to pay off the phone at that time. It really does not seem like the phone is SIM locked.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seezar:
You might be correct about sim locked, but they do require active service while doing payments so it wouldn't be a good deal for someone to Pay $20 plus taxes a month just to be able to finance the phone if one doesn't plan on using Fi service.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugenga:
I ordered my Nexus 6P through Project Fi. The 128GB Aluminum model.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
this is true but thats the only choice they have for those who are financing it
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ovrclck:
I believe that's if financed through Huawei.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midas69:
Yes, but the OP said they were going to pay for Project FI even though he/she didn't plan to use the service just to get the financing. That's where the $30 a month financing came in.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ovrclck:
Yes, my bad :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F4M0U569:
So that means that we are going to be able to swap sim cards with no problems?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmelvin:
Directly from the Fi site.

If I buy a new Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X from Project Fi, will it work with other wireless providers?

Yes, the Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X you get from Project Fi comes unlocked and can be used with other wireless providers if you choose to leave our service.

Technically they'd only have to pay $20 plus tax a month. You only pay for the data you use and if they aren't using the service they'd be refunded the $10 data.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
$20 plus tax plus whatever gb you choose
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick272:
I got an instant invite for Fi the same day I ordered the 6P (launch day). I paid full price, and I live in an Atlanta suburb where they are installing google fiber. Interestingly I signed up for Fi under a different account two months ago and I'm still waiting for an invite.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seezar:
But you'd be refunded the data from the previous month if you aren't using any of it. So it would cancel out and you'd just pay $20 plus tax.

Example if you choose the 2 gig option your bill would be:

$20 base

Tax on that

$20 for data

$20 refund for data not used from previous month

Total: $20 plus tax

I've been using the service for a few months, I only use about 200 megs of data. My plan is for 1gb of data but my bill always comes out to about $27 a month total. You only pay for the specific amount of data you use.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
this is not bad at all..how is their service btw? do you have any problems getting signal? does it have roaming too? what carrier did you have before? if thats the case then as soon i pay both of my phones off from tmobile im moving to FI
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seezar:
I've been very happy with the service. I was a Sprint customer for years and figured since that was adequate as far as signal I'd have at least as good service on Fi. I've found that to be true so far. What is pretty cool too is it does have roaming and it's included in the price. Basically it has the same roaming agreements as both Sprint and T-Mobile have so I've actually roamed on AT&T and Verizons networks while I took a trip out to the middle of nowhere. Since data is priced at $10 per gig it doesn't matter if you use the the data on network or roaming, it all costs the same. Just keep in mind that it only roams in areas where Sprint/Tmob have roaming agreements with those other carriers, it still is possible to find deadspots, but it's no worse than when I was with Sprint. It's actually better now because some of those deadspots I had T-mobile does have signal.

The network switching works well, it only seems to switch when absolutely needed and I believe they are still tweaking that algorithm. When it does switch there can be a 15 second or so delay while the phone acquires the other network but like I said it's only really something that happens when you travel from one area to another and you don't have good signal from the carrier you were on.

It also uses Google's wifi assistant to find open wifi networks and if it deems the wifi network has a good signal AND an ok speed it will automatically connect to it using a VPN connection so it's secure. It's a great way to save on data. The only thing is if the open wifi network is one where it has a captive portal where you have to click ok to agree or something like that it wont connect to those automatically. So unfortunately that leaves out quite a few open networks.

My favorite part of the service is the money savings. I don't even have to adjust much of the way I use data since I'm around wifi quite a bit. Even if there is a month where I use a few gig of data I'm still saving a good amount overall.

If you already have T-mobile or Sprint and are happy with the existing coverage I think you have a really good chance of a good experience on Fi. Those that are on AT&T or Verizon and are unsure of the Tmob and Sprint coverage it can depend on area.

There is one caveat and that is T-mobile Band 12 coverage. With Lolipop the phone would connect to band 12 for data. They seem to have since removed that with the Marshmallow update and the phone wont use Band 12. Presumably this is because of the whole VoLTE/911 issue and because Fi doesn't use VoLTE they can't currently use Band 12 now. Hoping that'll change in the future but I'm not in an area that has much Band 12 coverage anyway. But if you rely on Band 12 for T-mobile service for coverage, that can be a potential issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aridon:
They are working on band 12 for release according to google. Hopefully they get it working because that is a big deal in areas that it is available.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
cool, what happens if you go over your gb limit? will they slow down your speed, or will they charge you for that? google is currently working to get tmo band 12 by the time they start shipping the phones so that wouldnt be a problem
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seezar:
You simply pay for the data you use, it's always at a rate of $10 per gig. So if you prepay for 1Gig and use 1.2 gig for the month you pay an extra $2 on the next bill. So in the end it really doesn't matter which amount of data you chose, you only end up paying for the specific amount you use.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenbrownstone:
Will the 6p work on Verizon like the 6 if I get unlocked?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skriefal:
Can a forced cap be applied, so that it WILL cut off if usage exceeds that amount? Like cutting off at 5GB, and then asking for verification to additional charges before allowing more usage?

EDIT:

Looks like the answer is yes -- https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6172588?hl=en
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seezar:
Yeah, that's just a built in function of Android itself not specific to the Fi service only.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lensgrabber:
I wish they would allow you to choose to rollover the data instead of having the refund plus do it in 512mb/$5 increments. I'd like to keep the total bill below $30 a month so $20+$5+$5(taxes) would be a sweet spot for me. Within a few months I'd already have a good amount of data rolled over as a buffer.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ylexot:
Ummm...why?

If you only use 500MB (hopefully that 12MB difference won't kill you), you only pay $5 for the data. Rollover just means that you have already paid for it and Google is just holding the money for you.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lensgrabber:
Yeah I guess it makes sense. Ignore me today. I'm not making any sense.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seezar:
Just think of it is you can pay for the data just before you use it for that month or after you use it. Regardless of what plan you pick you always only paying for what you use.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowpok22:
My question is did the texts work properly, I used it for 24 hours on the nexus 6P and texting was broken, Spent a couple of hours on the phone, disabling and what not and thought it was working but couldn't text iPhones, as soon as I put my t mobile sim in it worked perfectly, no other changes just the sim swap, had to cancel.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
They lied about getting equal warranty for Nexus devices and protection plan. I wouldn't purchase anything from Fi

You are not going to get Google 1 year warranty if you purchase from Fi and you also cant purchase Nexus Protect from Fi. The difference is this: Google 1 year warranty can replace your device for free within 2 business days no questions asked (mechanical and software issues), Project Fi refers you to Huawei and their replacement policy is 14 business days and you must ship your phone for repairs first. Big difference. Then with Nexus Protect you get overnight shipping and everything is covered, warranty goes with your device. With Fi no one knows about protection plan and that protection plan is canceled if you cancel Fi service.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StephenMSmith:
I ordered from fi on Oct 29th when 64gb aluminum showed up in inventory. Was very happy that fi still give me the play credit which expired in Google store on the 25th. Says shipping 11/16 to 11/23.

But I'm ecstatic today bc i just got an email this morning saying phone is on way. And they're send it FedEx overnight for free so arriving tomorrow according to tracking number.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ylexot:
Source?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Source, there was a big argument on G+ community, mod pretty much confirmed that they never said purchasing from Fi is the same as Google, well the purchasing is the same, but everything else, protection plan, warranty, returns etc is different. They tricked everyone pretty much

I also called all 3 Huawei, Google, and Project Fi myself, they confirmed all that. You can call youself and correct me if I am wrong

I got very pissed off when they told everyone to purchase from Project Fi website instead of Google, this is the information I came up with and will be returning my 6p ASAP to Fi
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlysurferdude03:
Well, Thanks for doing the research! I'm not happy reading that as my purchase was from Fi as well...may look into canceling the order and picking one up through Google Store directly. Who knows, might even get here sooner :confused:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
I advise you research yourself :) there is alot of hate from mods and some members in G+ community when I open my mouth there. Just call all 3 sellers and you will get answers, hopefully they will match what I said

Device protection for Project Fi is coming. Don't know when, don't know how much. I've got an open inquiry with Fi support, so we'll see what they have to say.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidbuff123:
I ordered by phone through project fi and got it yesterday. Hugely disappointed with how google is handling number porting. I was wanting to port my google voice number and it's been almost 24 hours and the porting is still not done...and this is Google's own number. Even when you do number porting with carriers, it doesn't take more than 15 mins.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
It most likely will be monthly billed that comes with Fi service, cancel service and you will loose protection. You still loose Google Warranty for 1 year if you purchase from Fi.

Also something they don't tell u is that they currently don't have agreements with T-Mobile regarding band 12 LTE and VoLTE, so we still don't know if it will be supported by Fi. At the moment it's not even on old Nexus 6
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlysurferdude03:
Holy Moly I'm so glad I made the switch. It's all in my sig, but long story short, about a 10 day earlier ship date, and nexus protect + googles 1 year insurance = win win situation my friend. Thank you for posting the info you did, I appreciate it. :highfive:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
I just placed an order from Google myself, took 4 hours to get shipping email. Also something to know, you can get a refund for Nexus Protect within 30 days if you find a cheaper insurance solution or just want to cancel. Nexus Protect is also transferable to other owners if phone is sold.

PS currently that Project Fi doesn't have any protection plans, they seem to offer 1 time replacement for $100. They don't post it officially but offer to people with busted phones
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobtexas:
Based on my conversation with Google Fi support, I have a 1 year manufacturer's warranty on the Nexus 6P, and when they offer the Google Fi coverage, I'm enrolled. That's good enough for me.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
That 1 year warranty comes from Huawei. Their warranty sucks. You must send them the phone for repairs and wait 14 business days until they ship you your old repaired phone. With Google 1 year warranty, they just ship you new phone in 2 days with prepaid return label no questions asked. (I think that's how it was with Google since Nexus 1)

To me that's a night and day difference since I can't be without phone for 2 weeks and I prefer to get new phone (with possible hardware tweaks down the road) if my current phone breaks

Edit: Looks like either support team is clueless or they have changed warranty policies. 3 previous reps told me warranty is provided by Hauwei, today rep told me all warranty is through Fi. (I asked 3 times to make sure its correct and 3 times he confirmed)

Is there any way to force the subdisplay to activate? When my keyboard cover closes over the display, it is rather finicky in getting to switch over.

Additionally, I would rather not take the keyboard with me and it would be great to listen to music and see the subdisplay instead of the entire screen being lit up.

There must be a simple way to enable or toggle this. Is there a developer out there willing to make this mod happen? Part of the Development project perhaps?

when sub display is on the whole screen is lit so kinda pointless better to develop a screensaver of some type that wont drain battery but shows relevent info maybe a custamizable one???
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Abram:
I don't know if this helps or not; with mine, when I place the keyboard at the back of the unit with the keys facing outwards (as I do most times) it does start up the subdisplay as well (even with the screen open and programs running).
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Staroip:
spzero is right.

You can try that with VGA out cable and enable sub display with your keyboard. You can see whole screen is lit and the only difference is the bottom portion of screen changes to a status bar (sub display).
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] keithwwalker:
Neat trick!

Still it would be cool if there was a way to force the subdisplay with the rest of the screen black. Even with black color in a lighted screen, it would save energy, like this site:

Making the screen black doen't mean that it consume less energy... mostly because the LEDs used to light the screen are always on (the screen on the Athena is not transflective like most PPC. It means it need a minimum of emitting light to be viewable)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkgarrod:
Hello All,

I have a Nexus 6 (Hence the reason I'm posting in this thread) and I am not able to take screenshots after upgrading to Marshmallow 6.0. I would think to post in the thread of the current rom I'm running but I also full wiped and tried a different rom with the same result.

Every time I try and take a screen shot it says "Couldn't capture screenshot. - Can't take screenshot due to limited storage space, or it isn't allowed by the app or your organization." I would post a screenshot of what it's doing but... well... I think you get the point. I have plenty of storage space and I have dived into the various permissions settings on 6.0 but have yet to find out how to fix it.

Has anyone else had this problem across multiple roms and no luck with screenshots?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Go to the screenshot directory and try to manually create any file there using your usual file manager/explorer.. If that fails,.it may be that the permissions are screwed which sometimes happens when you copy sdcard data back whilst in recovery.

If that sounds like your problem, there is a zip you can flash. Do NOT use "fix permissions" in recovery.
