OK cool, yeah saw the $95 plan. But again, Fi is less than a third of the cost for me (based on my usage) with better coverage. And if I pick the 2GB plan it is $10 more. Plus I won't be getting refunded for unused data. Or I get overages in blocks (that I likely won't use the whole block either).

I just download GM playlists and it works great. I really wouldn't want Tmo's binge thing. I think it is absolutely crap what they are doing there (but that is a different topic for a different thread ;) ).

....... Lol duh.... Oh course project Fi users won't take precedence over T-Mobile direct subscribers isn't that basic information lol.. Just like Metro, Straight talk etc don't take precedence over T-Mobile users lol.... Why would they. ...

Anyways, I thought about Fi. But I'm paying 90 bucks with tax per month for two lines 14GB hotspot and unlimited data on both lines (potential to reduce speeds during peak congestion after 23Gb used) - that's never happened my data is consistently fast! So
[Nexus 6P General] Bugattixda:
I'm loving Fi. Switched from T-mobile $70/mp and now my bill with Fi has been around $25-30 a month.

I've had problems. The Nexus 6p had some glitches. The most annoying was something with the mic. People said they couldn't hear me. Worked fine on speaker and bluetooth, but regular calls with the phone on my face, constant complaints. They replaced the phone and it works fine now. Hangouts and gmail had some notification glitches, but I used a different SMS app and gmail notifies properly now.
[Nexus 6P General] Lepa79:
Hangouts and Gmail should have been fixed now. Just an FYI.

My 1st full week on fi and I only used 40 MB of data. This is going to be dirt cheap for me. Love it.
[Nexus 6P General] rickyray9:
I went to Project Fi from a $50 Verizon MVNO with 5gb LTE and unlimited 3G. While I used to listen to music and watch videos constantly, I now have a Nexus 6P that I'm hesitant to get the full experience of for the sake of my bill. Sure, my bill is $25 a month now, but I sure miss the freedom of having prepaid unlimited data with no overages on the nation's largest network. I think about going back every day, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I love Fi's cost, customer service, and technological innovation too much.
[Nexus 6P General] jpeg42:
I am sure you are being serious and I understand what you mean, but this totally reads like an ad :D

I think there is a positive in this I found as well. I don't mindlessly fresh social media, xda or reddit just as a habit when I am off wifi. I actually take that awkward time to look around and interact with people. One problem though, most everyone else in the world has their face down in a phone! Kinda weird when you look up to see it.
[Nexus 6P General] Lepa79:
Another hidden gem with Fi. Yes, it will make you more data cautious and that means looking up and connect to the real world. We all need this if you ask me.
[Nexus 6P General] Jhvoorhies:
I received my gold Nexus 6p along with my Fi sim card yesterday. Today, I noticed that for the most part of the day, I was on Edge and 3G. I live in Texarkana and that is more than likely the problem. I did three speed tests and could not even break 5 Mbps even when I had LTE. I have no idea what's going on here. My husband has an Honor 5x with Cricket service and was getting 7-8mbps all day steadily. I am so disappointed in Project Fi. Maybe in the future, it will get better for my location. Until then, I'll stick with At&t. :(
[Nexus 6P General] highvista:
I switched to Project Fi three weeks ago from a T-Mobile plan where I was paying $60/mo + ~$5 tax and fees for 5GB of data. The first week was touch-and-go as Fi kept choosing weak Sprint cells instead of the stronger T-Mobile cells. Call quality was noticeably worse when on Sprint. I used an app to force connection to T-Mobile, but it wouldn't stick for long and would almost always switch back to Sprint after I hung up from a call.

But about a week ago, I started to be consistently connected to the strong T-Mobile cells, so everything has been great since then. I'm guessing there was some sort of update that fixed the problem.

I'm a low-volume user of cell data, since I'm nearly always on a Wi-Fi connection at work and home. I've only used about 460MB of data in three weeks, so I should save quite a bit over what I was paying when I was on T-Mobile.
[Nexus 6P General] Rippley05:
I have my FI invite , but I can't pull the trigger. In Roanoke VA, T-Mobile and Sprint coverage is garbage. Hopefully Google builds this service out, but I doubt it. It isn't really getting any advertising
[Nexus 6P General] sjcdal:
Planning on moving to FI. Have my invite, purchased a Nexus 6p (that I currently have activated on Sprint), and awaiting the time till my contract on Sprint is fulfilled in late March.

When I told Sprint this, they finally offered a better plan. And I admit it is competitively priced for two lines. $100-23% corp discount.=$77 for first two lines, then $40 per extra line. Plus of course their bogus "Sprint surcharges" currently at about $13 and state and federal taxes. Does Fi have any of these extra charges outside of the true Fed and Local taxes?

Includes int'l roaming now too. I reviewed my account from last year and with the 3 lines we averaged a total of about 8.5gb a month..but that was affected by a couple of large months that probably would not be repeated. Mostly I would be at about 3gb a month on 1 line and barely .5 gb on a 2nd.

My main question is with Fi logging into their "one million wifi spots" does this likely reduce your actual datat usage even further? I am on home wifi most of the time, and live in urban Dallas (and my son in San Diego) areas where I would anticipate a large number of these wifi access points would be available. Anybody with Fi notice this working to reduce your cell wifi totals?
[Nexus 6P General] Stbrightman:
Hopefully not WHILE driving...

Having said that.. I have my Fi SIM ready to go, just waiting until the end of next month for my VZ contract to run out. I have a corporate discount on VZ for my wife and I and on Fi we will still save about 60$/month using a combined 3 gb. Biggest seller for me is the piss poor coverage I have at my house even on VZ, and the inclusion of international service as I travel for work. It's worth a shot for us.
[Nexus 6P General] SchmilK:
I have the no coverage problem at home so well so I'm using a tasker profile from red it to go into airplane mode with Bluetooth and WiFi on whenever I connect to wifiWiFi. And since my wife is stay at home mom, having her be able to call or text without having to go outside is a big plus.

And it was an excellent reason for both of us to get Nexus 6P :P
[Nexus 6P General] Stbrightman:
Good idea with Tasker...Just curious, were you finding that the N6p was needlessly switching to network rather than staying on Wi-Fi at home?
[Nexus 6P General] SchmilK:
It was a battery issue (at least mentally for me, my wife has cellular on all the time and she hasn't complained of excessive drain like she did with Moto G 2014) Either way, why bother leave the cellular radio scanning for signal when there is little to no signal when I have full bars of WiFi with calls and text working over WiFi.
[Nexus 6P General] bob52r:
PROJECT FI usability practical seamless switching sound quality on calls?

i live in miami where t-mobile is generally good.

i drive to orlando, tampa--through the swamps how is Fi when i will be outside of major urban centers?
[Nexus 6P General] zerosource:
i was thinking about leaving fi after getting tmo one plan for $40. my number cant be ported back to Google voice so i probably have to keep my fi inactive for now. hopefully Google come up with cheaper service in near future. still even if i leave my fi active it would cost $60/mo for me to have to 2 numbers with unlimited data. :cool:
[Nexus 6P General] midas69:
I was able to port my Fi number back to Google Voice. It was probably about a year ago.
[Nexus 6P General] ctheory83:
Hey man, i'm over in the Tampa area and had it for a few months, until a switch to a new job where they picked up the bill on VZ.

It honestly wasn't bad - had a few weird blips where I wouldn't get a call and it'd go straight to VM, and flaky data (via TMO) in some areas outside of the immediate Tampa area, but I could honestly make that gripe about most carriers in this area. I wouldn't worry too much.
[Nexus 6P General] bob52r:
any one in se florida using Fi?

how is it going?
[Nexus 6P General] ButtonBoy:
I live in a rural area west of Seattle. All I can get at my house is AT&T or VZ. The T-Mo connection is so weak I can only get it if I'm out in the yard. If its raining (much of the time) then I get no signal from any of the Fi carriers. So when at home, I use my AT&T SIM. When I travel for work, I use the Fi SIM and it works great. Canada, Netherlands, Japan all work great and the same cheap 1G for $10. Much better than the data-only SIMs I had been using in Tokyo.

Type: fastboot boot (path goes here)

You can drag and drop the twrp img into the command window. This will ensure you have the correct path
[T-Mobile LG G4] mingkee:
Follow this instruction

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-g4/development/stock-h811-20i-images-kdz-flashable-t3308227
[T-Mobile LG G4] joesee:
That link doesn't really solve the OP's issue. I have the same issue. BUT - your link did show me that I can BOOT the .img file, I can't flash the .img file. I've verified the bootloader is unlocked by the fastboot getvar command.

I'm not sure what to do next. Installing OpenGapps causes a boot loop and the only thing I can do at this point is a factory reset with the OEM recovery since in the boot loop adb is unresponsive.
[T-Mobile LG G4] mingkee:
The instruction shows how to flash recovery.img with TWRP though I have no clue how to do it.
[T-Mobile LG G4] esjames:
I got that error the first time I did it, it was because of a misspelling of the command.
[T-Mobile LG G4] Vseprz:
If you already unlocked the bootloader, while in fastboot, you only type "fastboot boot" + "path to twrp img on computer" OR instead of typing out the path, you may drag and drop the file into the command window.

Once it boots to twrp, flash twrp from within the booted img. That ensures you have permanent twrp.

If you were able to unlock your bootloader, the only thing stopping you from loading twrp is improper spelling and path to the img. Almost every error I have seen is from not following the directions.
[T-Mobile LG G4] joesee:
OK, just so I understand correctly, the proper sequence of events is to use fastboot to boot TWRP (which I can do) then, once in TWRP, I can then flash the twrp .zip file, right? Does anyone know if the LG's bootloader overwrites the recovery partition upon boot (in other words, do I have to boot straight to recovery after I flash to ensure it sticks?)

Sorry for the obtuse questions, I've got a lot of experience with Samsung flashing back in the KK and LP days, but not MM.

Thanks in advance!!
[T-Mobile LG G4] Vseprz:
So you have flashed 20i which overwrites twrp with the stock recovery.

You then go through the steps for unlocking the boot loader.

After the boot loader is unlocked, you may boot into twrp with the fastboot boot command.

When that boots into twrp, flash twrp from within that to have it stick.
[T-Mobile LG G4] 99problemz:
Have a question and maybe someone can help. Me getting carried away installed twrp from external partition. Now i cannot boot into recovery. Tried flashing using flashify and twrp manager. but flashify does not install after reboot and there is no option for h811 in twrp manager. Anyway to fix this?
[T-Mobile LG G4] joesee:
Yes, that's exactly the steps I do. I've flashed 20i. I used fastboot to boot into twrp. I then "install" the twrp zip file. Says it flashes with no issues. I then reboot the phone. Still has stock recovery.

I've confirmed my bootloader is unlocked with the fastboot getvar all. I've also tried all three versions of twrp available (.1, .2 and .3) and still doesn't work. Yet twrp works fine if I boot it.
[T-Mobile LG G4] Vseprz:
How did you confirm you have stock recovery? Did you use adb reboot recovery? Or did you use hardware keys to boot to it? Because if you use hardware keys you still get the initial confirm factory reset. You just have to accept then it boots to twrp.

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

If boot loader is unlocked you should load twrp from fastboot.
[T-Mobile LG G4] joesee:
Hahaha now that's funny!! I bet I've been through 50 blog posts on various sites to try to figure this out. Having successfully installed Viper I didn't want to take the chance and pass that confirm wipe factory question.

I feel like a complete tool. Seriously, thank you for taking the time to respond to me!
[T-Mobile LG G4] Vseprz:
I'm glad it all worked out! :good:
[T-Mobile LG G4] jdoebean:
finding I have to re-flash with flashify each time

using twrp-2.8.7.1, I get only the first reboot from there with hardware keys letting me into twrp after accepting the first factory reset prompt and denying the second. After that cant do it again unless I re-flash. Same thing happens if I flash it from within twrp. Can use terminal, su, boot recovery and I am in., or ADB/fatsboot Primarily worried about a soft brick condition. H-811, v1 20i stock, unlocked bootloader and rooted. DE-bloated,

Any Ideas, Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G4] androidddaaron:
You drop the twrp file

In fastboot folder open command prompt and flash twrp first just rename it simply to recovery.img while in the fastboot folder

Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Or just fastboot flash recovery.img

Then it should boot you into twrp

Once booting into twrp flash the supersu zip in your internal sd

Once you have root and reboot all you have to do is use flashify app and download twrp from the app and flash it Twrp sticks from there.
[Remix OS for PC] TwistyTravster:
I understand how to install Remix onto a bootable USB flash drive. I understand how to format a partition on an existing HDD to dual boot between Windows and Remix.

However, I can not seem to figure out how to install Remix onto a separate HDD from the one that the current OS is on, in order to be put into a separate computer. Basically, I have an old Dell Mini 10 and I want to install Remix OS onto the 120GB HDD, but I do not need any other operating system on it. Is this possible?

If so, how can I deviate from the procedure to install Remix onto a HDD partition that is meant to be stand-alone, not dual boot? I can't be the only person who is trying to do this.
[Remix OS for PC] imadlatch:
Now you have to make the same installation as Remix os on Virtual machine

Put remix os on bootable usb as usual use official installer when you done restart and boot to remix os

at boot menu press TAP at debug mode

now you modify the command

at the end of the first line make space and insert INSTALL=1 and press F10

now you will create boot partition ext4 GPT/UEFI or MBR and make it bootable

Note

choose sda= internal HDD

sdb=USB

now if you on MBR choose install grub if UEFI skip and install the next grub/UEFI

choose read/write mode

done

Wow, I can't believe it was actually that simple. Thank you!

[Remix OS for PC] imadlatch:
this method wont create data.img but data folder

make sure you create bootable ext4 partition EFI or mbr up to your bios
[Remix OS for PC] Riccorbypro:
Possible? Definitely.

It IS indeed possible, and I have accomplished it on my secondary laptop (Read HERE for how I did it).

[MENTION=5477568]imadlatch[/MENTION] The GRUB/GRUB2 install didn't work in my case. I tried the GRUB first, as I'm on a legacy BIOS, and although it did say "Installation Successful", upon reboot, I was greeted with a very nice "OS Not Found" Message. The same happened for GRUB2. So I just went ahead and got an Ubuntu Live USB, and installed the latest GRUB2-Legacy from there. Edited the grub.cfg and everything worked perfectly. 320GB HDD, all for Remix OS. Persistent data, rooted, everything.

[MENTION=7254618]TwistyTravster[/MENTION] Did you remove the "CREATE_DATA_IMG=1" from the command line, or just add the "INSTALL=1"? If you didn't remove the data image part, then you should (according to my tests) only have a 4GB /data partition... Or did it allocate the WHOLE HDD? Just interested in seeing how other people with different setups got Remix OS working...
[Remix OS for PC] TwistyTravster:
I just added INSTALL=1 to the end. And yes, I ended up with only 4GB data partition, but I then removed the drive from my netbook, mounted it on my main PC and performed the IMGTools mod to increase data.img file size from 4GB to 256GB of the total 320GB on the harddrive I used. The process took about an hour to complete due to the extremely large size that I was enlarging data.img to. You use the number 274877906944 bytes for the command for 256GB. Considering how well this worked, I bet you could enlarge data.img to literally ANY size... probably larger than you'll ever need. Just imagine a total of 1TB space on Remix OS.... LOL!

The biggest problem I'm having is my old netbook doesn't have the graphics capability for h.264 decoding. So I'm getting a Broadcom Crystal HD decoder for the internal mini PCI-E slot, which should allow better 1080p streaming for movies. I plan to use Moonlight Streaming to stream full quality games from my main Gaming PC to my tiny netbook. It will be pretty hilarious seeing a 10" netbook playing games like Crysis in 1080p (probably downscaled to 720p) at 60fps.

I already have a Mad Catz MOJO in my living room that I stream games and movies to, which has been modded to use Remix 2.0 OS as well.

See here.
[Remix OS for PC] Riccorbypro:
Well, if you feel the need to reinstall, then just remove the CREATE_DATA_IMG=1 - it'll use a folder on your HDD called "data" instead. That is, assuming you formatted to ext4 for the R/W /system... I don't know if the same works on Windows...

Now there's something I would LOVE to see! A 10 inch netbook playing games that aren't Minecraft!!!

I'm using my Secondary Laptop (Toshiba Satellite C660) as an Android PC with Remix at the moment, and that thing RUNS! I think the only thing limiting it is the slow internet at my university...

Anyways, please report back on the games, as I might use that myself...

P.S. It took 5 Minutes to install Remix on my Toshiba when I didn't do the data.img, so I would recommend using it that way...
[Remix OS for PC] TwistyTravster:
So remove CREATE_DATA_IMG=1, and it automatically uses the entire HDD storage instead of only 4GB, as long as it it formatted to EX4? Is that what I'm understanding?

[Remix OS for PC] Micahvdm:
after you press tab on resident mode, remove everything after "quiet". Then put INSTALL=0 right after quiet and you can install on ext4. if you don't do this, it adds a line in grub that says "USB_USE_DATA=1" which causes the screen to get stuck at the flashing remix screen.
[Remix OS for PC] F@F@:
I have a solution with boot error

To install Remix OS directly on HDD without dualboot :

First, to prepare bootloader, install Ubuntu from USB or DVD that format all drive in EXT4.

Once Ubuntu is installed put remix OS usb key which have been prepared and reboot on USB Key.

Install as arts821 says (Thanks arts821)

/kernel initrd=/initrd.img root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet INSTALL=1 DEBUG=

[Remix OS for PC] madaza:
it work also with one hdd but if your windows is not installed with efi before ,and remove your hdd windows before to install os remix like here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaLbOek1X-g

you dont need to do your partition like me with windows if u have only one hdd remove your hdd windows create one partition primary( 1 )having like 500 mo with os remix and after your partition primary bootable os remix choose yes also all time like me when you choose to format the partition os remix in ext 4 like that it will not found your partition windows ,because your hdd windows is not plug in .

after you need to disable efi for boot on windows or efi enable for boot on os remix

(but sorry u don't need to remove ur hdd really because you can take grub 2 only for efi and skip the grub only not efi during installation...normally it take all time the one like sda1 for her boot efi

and it work well for me because i've windows 7 now + os remix x64 on my ssd , and i've reinstall os remix taking grub 2 efi only and it have not touched my boot windows not efi working only if you have before create a partition 1 for os remix boot efi keeping the 2 for windows not efi

i've try on the pc of my friend a dual boot os remix x64 not efi with windows 7 it work ...it can be windows 10 the problem or my motherboard i'm not sure i will try

it work on the motherboard of my friend with no efi dual boot windows 7x64 + os remix x64 but not on my pc ...really strange

but i prefer boot os remix efi enabled only because i can touch the grub easily
