Yea it's kinda messed up that they took my google hangouts/voice number when I activated fi with my regular phone number. I paid $10 for it and I wanted to keep it for hangouts/voice to keep it seperate.
[Nexus 6  General] r0adki111:
Today my nexus connected to sprint, Tmo, att, Verizon, telus and Rogers. Tested all connections. Voice, text and data worked.

Most of the time I'm on sprint even though Tmo is way better here.
[Nexus 6  General] toricred:
The actual service is probably OK, but I haven't been able to use it yet. The customer service on the other hand has been awful. First I asked for a new number and they assigned me a number of a nearby city which is long distance. I have to dial 1+area code+phone number for anybody in town and they have to do the same to reach me. I tried to fix it with them by asking for a new number, but they kept assigning the same number. Finally I got a Google Voice number on a different account which was at least local. They promised to port it to my account, but that was 7 days ago and still nothing. They have not proactively contacted me at all and barely respond when I contact them. If it weren't for how much money it will save me I would have given up entirely by now.
[Nexus 6  General] ethanhunt123:
The actual service has been just fine. I really like the cost savings coming from Verizon. I have to say though, my initial interaction with customer server was sub-par. I was having a issue activating my phone, and after they walked through and initial script of rebooting, etc... they said, "oh you got you nexus 6 from Amazon, that's why it doesn't work. You'll have to return it." Really??? Anyway I figured out my issue on my own, but I was really surprised by the Amazon scapegoat.

All that being said, I'm not going back :)
[Nexus 6  General] zerosource:
Btw, they were able to recover my number and ported to project fi. I am now happy after all. Google rocks :cool:
[Nexus 6  General] alex.o:
I've been using Fi for a few days now in a rural area of Kentucky. My issue before fi was the lack of service at my house. I love having wifi calling and text at my house. I was on Cricket/att before. My phone number ported from Cricket in about 7 minutes.

Now I have a consistent signal at my house, but the phone is switching between sprint and tmobile pretty often. I usually have a signal strength of 98dbs on tmobile 3g and 101dbs on sprint lte. I do have stronger lte service in town, but I'm about 4 miles out of "town." Before I had 110ish dbs on cricket if I had service, so Fi is stronger. I traveled to Nashville yesterday and was impressed that I had service the whole way. I had service on the rural roads near me and the cumberland parkway that isn't heavily traveled. It was mostly 3g, but I did see some LTE. Of course in Nashville it was full LTE signal all the time. I think it has been great so far, I'm excited to try it some more.

I was also able to notice a difference with unrestricted LTE speed. On cricket, they cap it at 8mbps. I can watch videos and stream music no problem, but I noticed things were faster with the faster Fi LTE speeds. I've not had to contact customer support at this point, but it seems like a good experience for everyone.

My N6 is on Marshmellow and I did have to take "google connectivity services" off of battery optimization. Even with wifi enabled during sleep, it seemed to turn off the wifi in doze. This is an issue for me at home when I rely so much on wifi for calls and text. Once I removed google connectivity services from battery optimization, I no longer had this issue.
[Nexus 6  General] WhammyDroid:
Anyone here having tethering issues with their N6 to other devices (laptop, tablet)?

I am unable to do it after jumping to Project Fi. I was able to do it previously when under VZW.
[Nexus 6  General] toricred:
At this point I've been with Fi for 12 days and they still haven't gotten my Google Voice number ported. They are now saying it is a known problem and it will be ported within another 5 days. I was able to get them to give me a phone number that doesn't require 1+area code to call neighbors, but it shows up as being from a town 90 miles away so people won't answer because they think I am a telemarketer. This seems really strange that a Google Voice number takes so long to port to Google Fi.
[Nexus 6  General] dberthia:
I transferred my number from Verizon, and have been on Fi since October 27th. Sounds like I'm the exception, but I don't have a single negative thing to report. I guess if I wanted to nitpick, I haven't yet noticed a connection to T-Mobile on band 12. It's always B4. Other than that, I've had a rock solid signal at work, home, and everywhere I've gone in the Twin Cities area. I initially signed-up for the 2GB plan, but don't really see the point in any plan over 1GB, since you'll get billed for any data you use anyway (without penalty). Going to drop down to the 1GB plan starting next month. Good riddance to Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] SirBindy:
That's because T-Mo disabled Band 12 for Fi users.
[Nexus 6  General] khanam:
Just curious, is band 12 much better?
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
Band 12 data works fine on Lollipop 5.1.1 builds. It is broken on Marshmallow, which Fi has not officially released.

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

Project Fi management yesterday posted an announcement acknowledging that an unnamed issue has delayed deployment of Marshmallow to Fi users:

A small number of Fi users apparently have received 6.0 by OTA, but the full rollout obviously is stalled. Some others are running 6.0 builds by flashing, sideloading or otherwise forcing the update.
[Nexus 6  General] reaper000:
Band 12 (700mhz band) reportedly penetrates better in buildings. And you CAN have it on Project Fi running Marshmallow, provided you're rooted and flashed:

= a Marshmallow custom ROM (and there are some great stock ROMs)

= an M Preview radio

Here's a screenie of band 12 whilst running Marshmallow using Project Fi
[Nexus 6  General] toricred:
That sounds good. I've always used the radio that comes with the custom ROM. Where would one get an M Preview radio?
[Nexus 6  General] reaper000:
If memory serves, there were 4 M-Preview radios, the last of which (5.27) became the radio released with Marshmallow that doesn't do band 12. Therefore, you are looking for the previous 3 radios which work with band 12... These are 5.16, 5.17, and 5.24. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)

The first two can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2969380

I'm not sure where I picked up 5.24 but I think it was in JDX thread...

By the way, only stock images on this device include a radio. Custom ROMs do NOT include a radio (unless explicitly stated) because the radio is considered part of firmware. Therefore, unless you deliberately flashed a radio, you have the same radio as the last stock update you received.
[Nexus 6  General] TiltedAz:
I'm still very happy with my service. My new bill this month is $26.
[Nexus 6  General] alex.o:
My N6 went to Android 6 from an OTA, but had a deactivated Sprint sim card in the phone while updating. I bought it "refurbished" on ebay and it came with android 5.0, after a couple of hours of constant updates, it went to 6.0.

This weekend I noticed my phone was on AT&T as well as Bluegrass Cellular towers. I was visiting family in a more rural area of KY than I live and noticed I had a really strong signal. It had hopped on to Bluegrass cellular which is a regional CDMA carrier. I've read others say theirs hop onto AT&T. I'm still happy with it. My wife got her invite and is going to switch as well.
[Nexus 6  General] digitalbot:
Very disappointed with project fi over seas preferably in hong kong/philippines absolutely did not work

Went there on stock rom not even rooted, called customer service about 5x and couldnt help me at all

Its the only reason why I got projeft fi for traveling and same $ to data ratio, ill look elsewhere now.
[Nexus 6  General] Harry44:
Very happy with my service, very sad to see a lack of full Fi support in CM and AOSP roms, more specifically CM. I'd pay $200 to the person who gets it to work. Im considering jumping ship just because of this.
[Nexus 6  General] zerosource:
Can't recover or undo voicemail deletion with project Fi. Disappointed.
[Nexus 6  General] jawmail:
My experience overseas is the exact opposite on my 5x. I went to Switzerland, Germany and Belgium and Fi locked on everywhere. I had data (3g and LTE) everywhere so Gmaps worked perfectly walking or taking trains. There's nothing better than Gmaps when you are walking around the old cities and the crooked streets they have over there. You can easily find any restaurant or bar. 10 minutes after you get in a new country you get a Fi popup that says "welcome to ______". 8 days over there, made some calls and used data every day cost me an extra $3.28 :)
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
I'm leaving Fi for PureTalk. They're an ATT mvno. I want to be able to move my sim between phones without hassle. Fi service is OK, but ATT service in my area is top notch. (Atlanta area) Sprint and T-Mo suck. I will be paying $24 total for unlimited calls/texts and 100mb data. I'm on wifi most of the day anyway, so data is a non-issue.
[Nexus 6  General] TiltedAz:
PureTalk sounds pretty good but it looks you will pay a pricey $40 per 1G of data if you ever need. It doesn't sound like they prorate either. You're capped at 100 mms. Of course you have to pick the best option available in your area so that might be it.
[Nexus 6  General] amuu407:
Yup, It's a good experience for me so far. No need to be scared of network coverage in Home or Office , you always have WiFi everywhere.
[Nexus 6  General] Albinoman:
I've had Fi for 2 days now and it has been perfect!
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
Not worried. I'll cap it at 3G speeds and only use it when absolutely necessary.
[Nexus 6  General] marvin02:
I have had Fi for about two weeks. I am in the NW Indiana area of the US, with a lot of time spent in the Chicago area.

Sprint stinks. Slow, poorer voice quality, and no data and talk at the same time.

T-Mo works fine in my home area and Chicago. Uses mostly Band 4, no band 12. (Android M, not rooted, with Nov 1 updates)

"dead" areas between NW Indiana and Indianapolis on I-65. No service at all.

Calls from my house over my home wi-fi network are fine. This is why I switched to Fi, I have a poor signal at my home with AT&T, but it works great everywhere else.

I find that the network switching works best with "Cellular Data Always Active" in developer options turned on.

When switching to Fi it only took about ten minutes for my number to port over from AT&T.
[Nexus 6  General] alex.o:
Will keeping Cellular data always active use more cellular data, or will the phone still use Wifi when connected? I searched, but couldn't find anything. I feel like it is sometimes slow to switch carriers while traveling. This could help, but I don't want to use any extra data.

Edit: using GSM signal Monitoring and Signal Check Pro, it doesn't use data if on wifi. I wonder how this option will affect battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] fiffan86:
I just got asked in Google's opinion rewards app if I have heard of project fi lol responded while on project fi.
[Nexus 6  General] mrw1215:
So, uh... I had a weird experience today that I suppose isn't necessarily Fi related, but it is odd. Some random person called me today and left a voicemail asking who I was, how I got her number, and why I keep calling her. Of course, I've never once called her, so I've no idea what's up with that. Perhaps she simply dialed back the wrong number and got me instead of the number actually calling her, but I'm curious if it's possible that someone may be able to "spoof" my phone number and do stuff like that with it.

I can't imagine I've been "hacked" or anything, as I'm generally very careful, and I use two-step authentication for all my Google accounts. And I almost never use the e-mail associated with my Fi service for anything as far as signing up for accounts on websites or anything like that. So if someone is running around with my phone number and doing stuff with it, I can't figure out how they'd have done so, and I kind of wish there were a way I knew of to stop that from happening.
[Nexus 6  General] machinist25:
I've had Fi for three weeks now and have largely been satisfied. Two things annoy me:

Sometimes when I receive calls the other person's voice cuts in and out. I hang up, call back, and it's clear.

Coming from at&t straight talk, I seriously miss volte. On the phone I get hey did you get that picture I just sent you? No. Let me hang up and call you back in a minute.
[Nexus 6  General] marvin02:
In general I see less battery life on FI. I'm not sure if keeping cellular data on is the cause. I still can get a day and a half with my usage. I could do a full two days on AT&T.
[Nexus 6  General] devildogwillbur:
Try ting for pay as you go, use nothing only pay $6 per phone. Or freedompop pay nothing for a limited amount of text and talk time.
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
I need unlimited talk/text, data not so much.
[Nexus 6  General] TiltedAz:
Not sure if Marshmallow improves battery life as advertised but Google sent out an email that the release started today for Fi.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Reception on both Sprint and T-Mobile blows. Bad or no reception all over (los angeles). Switchover to wifi calling blows. Hope it improves over time. I am not a happy customer at this point.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
I haven't had a single complaint switching to Fi. I have been on it for over 3 months now coming from Sprint so I knew I wouldn't have any reception issues and if anything it is far better coupling in WiFi and T-Mobile. I no longer have SMS issues like I did on Sprint on LTE so that is also a huge plus. I am for the most part on WiFi consistently so this was the perfect option for me.
[Nexus 6  General] knives of ice:
does anyone know if there is a project fi M rooted flashable zip? now that xposed is out it is time for me to upgrade. i really don't want to go through the rooting process again if i dont have to
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yeah just the standard rooted factory image.
[Nexus 6  General] knives of ice:
i thought we needed to flash the project fi image to make certain we kept wifi calling and all the fi only features.
[Nexus 6  General] fiffan86:
I've been on fi for almost a week on MRA58K and WiFi calling and switching between Sprint and tmo work fine
[Nexus 6  General] EvilDobe:
So.. anyone else get a box of legos that makes a charger? I got one in the mail & my wife took a picture of it. Anyone else get one & put it together?
[Nexus 6  General] NoNRG:
I finally got the OTA 6.0 upgrade notification yesterday. I downloaded it then when I click "Restart and Install" after it says the download completed and is verified in the System Update window, then it thinks for a moment, then reverts to "Your system is up to date" without installing anything. Very odd... I've been waiting for the OTA update for a while and now that it's here, I can't install, lol.

Anyone else have success with Project Fi OTA update to Marshmallow? I'm currently on 5.1.1 build LMY48T, fyi.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
The OTA will only install if you are currently on LMY48I
[Nexus 6  General] dmwarren:
I got the upgrade. Build MRA58X(curious that this build is not listed as a factory image on https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en) My first generation Tiles from https://www.thetileapp.com/ don't work, but the 2nd gen ones work fine.
[Nexus 6  General] buschris01:
you are on XDA. Why aren't you installing a custom ROM, or at least side loading the update? people never cease to amaze me...
[Nexus 6  General] dmwarren:
Do you even Fi bro? Your condescension really does not help anything, so just chill. There is a big picture here. I will gently refer you to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/roms-project-fi-t3138240

There are considerations when flashing custom ROMs for those of us who are using Fi. Has anyone posted a link to this update? One of the biggest problems I had with most of the 6.0 custom ROMS was BLE. Apparently the BLE stack did not play well with my August smart locks, Tiles, or my Moto 360. Wifi calling can be an issue as well. On some of the custom ROMs the Fi app will not even start and activate. There are issues on switching between carriers. For now I have had the best experience with rooted LVY48I. I removed root so I could get OTA updated to 6.0 MRA58X. Most of my stuff works well. As more developers switch to Fi, we will probably see more traction and compatibility issues go away .
[Nexus 6  General] TiltedAz:
Pot meet kettle.
[Nexus 6  General] knives of ice:
finally got updated to marshmallow. i know i read that we are now missing some LTE bands for tmobile. this must be why my phone's tmo reception now blows. is there a fi specific radio or anything we can do to get those lte bands back on fi?
[Nexus 6  General] TiltedAz:
If all else fails, it shouldn't be too long before we get Band 12 per the rollout email:

" We’re working hard to add Band 12 support and expect it to be available soon. If you have any concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to contact us."
[Nexus 6  General] slappnuttzz29:
I have been on project fi for about a month now. I am running pure nexus custom rom by beanstown which has project fi capabilities and wifi calling built in the rom. The only issue i ran into was i had to update the radio to get project fi activation to install other than that its been smooth sailing for me no issues at all
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
It's too bad Google couldn't make a deal with ATT & Verizon. It would be so much better.
[Nexus 6  General] fiffan86:
+1 I just quit Fi because I moved to an area dominated by Verizon and att. Plus roaming on verizon caused all sorts of issues. When on verizon my phone number would change to a whole different area code! Tmo has coverage in the downtown area near my office but that's it. I'm a service tech so I'm always on the road. Sprint only roams off verizon. I'd switch back if that was the case, we can only dream.
[Nexus 6  General] reaper000:
Yes, you could flash an M Preview radio (found in the radio thread of the N6 General forum) and get band 12 back. That's what I did.

There has been a report from a user that the 6.01 release radio did get band 12 reception. I've personally not confirmed that yet.

[Galaxy S 5 General] nimbleninja:
Thanks for including that line, because I am dumb enough to try it on my sm-g900p. Any idea where I could find the stock recovery image for the sm-g900p?

Update: Downloading a stock SM-G900P Rom, extracting it with 7-Zip, and then tarring just the recovery.img file into a .tar file and flashing it with Odin v3.12 worked for me.

Hello dear members,

Last night before going to bed, I launched the OTA update of my Galaxy S3 LTE looking for possible updates and the I turned off the mobile and plugged it into the charger as usual. In the morning I discovered that it didn't charge at all.

I re-plugged the charger but nothing, it was not charging and it showed nothing on the screen nor the LED red light was working.

When I turned on the phone I noticed that it was charging normally. I kept the phone plugged into the charger and turned it off. The phone didn't switch off but it REBOOTED.

I noticed that if the phone is plugged into the charger the switching off will not work but instead the phone will reboot. not boot loop but it reboots just once.

I did "wipe cash" but nothing changed.

Please, help me???

I don't wanna do 'factory reset'
