I have the HTC Hero for Sprint, mine came with Sprints Navigator app. Well, my roommate has the Eris for Verizon. It did not, and he's not really liking the Google Maps app. Does anyone have the apk for the Verizon navigator app, or is there somewhere he can download it?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Ight so I know that the Verizon Android Market is different then the rest because instead of the download tab it had a Verizon tab... is it possible to get that onto the G1 and get Verizon apps like the Sprint Expirence Apps from the Sprint HTC Hero Dump? Thanks =)
If anyone has this exact setup I'd love to know. I'm searching around and seeing it doesn't work for some of the carrier versions or when rooted, but I'm wondering about the stock setup straight from google running on t-mobile prepaid specifically. I want to switch from N4 but don't want to loose the awesome setup with google wallet, I use it all the time. Thanks for any help.

Wow that sucks. I also just read that google play edition doesn't work with the tmobile bands either. I guess I'm going to stick with the N4, I really don't want to switch to one of the big carriers and lose google wallet as well.
Has anyone else noticed (with the Google Play Store Nexus 6) once you place the sim in, (ATT for me) the apps section inside the play store (top left on the play store home screen) now has a "top ATT picks" or something of the sorts?
When I installed my sim it was prompted to download the att apps but I stopped that from happening, Non of the ATT-Navigate apps or of the likes made it to my phone. Just wondering if T-Mobile people are noticing a similar branding inside the apps section (Just check with a co-worker who is on t-mobile and His says "T-Mobile hot picks") I have been off-contract for a while and I am grandfathered in to the unlimited data (which means no tethering until I edit the props file).
Anyone else noticing similar "deep" brandings based on your carrier? Even if there is non of that crapware on there?

The only thing I've noticed on T-Mobile is the T-Mobile top picks in the Play Store which I've only noticed once. Other than that, nothing.

If you go in the Play Store and hit "Apps" do you still see the T-Mobile top picks? I never saw any of this on my nexus 5, seems kinda of pointless to buy the nexus 6 from GPS since it still adds some of this branding (even if you avoid installing the apps)

I see it, they used to do this in the old Play Store back when it was called Android Market. I personally don't mind, its not intrusive or annoying.
For me it feels that ATT is able to influence items in the app store (aka block certain apps like they used to with google wallet) I hope that is not that case but I don't know how ATT gets a listing on there (which btw replaced the "Editor's choice" apps for me which I liked)
Its been that way for a while .....look at some of the tethering apps it will say this app is not available on your carrier. ...it's that way with sprint
Eff at&t. I'm disappointed how Google's become carriers toy. Not as bad as Samsung but still I was expecting more from Google

This was not the case with a nexus device. When Google wallet came out, att + verzion + etc created isis/softcard/etc and banned google wallet from showing up in the app store (this is pre play services era) but if you had a nexus phone (in my case a gsm GPS galaxy nexus) you did not have this issue. My fear is that google allowing carriers to put "top picks" seems like it could be a slippery slope back to those days (Imagine if they banned all NFC payment apps except softcard).
Anyone else able to chime in on this observation? anyone not have that show up?
This from my GPS nexus with at&t sim
Note 3 with sprint
And here's the corresponding T-Mobile bit...

I mean it's there but I've only noticed once. I don't really care to be honest. I'm sure if it bothers you that much there will be a fix sometime soon. Maybe not though.

Just was curious if anyone else had seen this with other nexus devices. Good to know this is the norm not the exception.
I was also curious on how to remove tmobile top picks from play store. Tmobile stuff comes up on YouTube as well. Any ideas?

I bought from the play store. Used with Sprint till a few months ago. Have been using on T mobile for a few months now, and noticed the T-mo top picks for the past 3-4 days
I don't think this has anything to do with the phone but how the play store is set up, I would assume Google allowed the carriers this.
If you really want to remove this message, you'll have to instal Market Unlocker. With Market Unlocker you can set the play store to a non-carrier variant.
I got my Nexus 6 from Google Play yesterday YA! i put my SIM in it and bingo 4G and service on Verizon! the one problem is I have no Data when on a phone call, I feel like I just went back a few years in time I'm reading i have to have advanced dialing 1.0 turned on, I was able to find this setting on my Verizon account and turned it on but 24 hours latter still no data when on a call
Thoughts?
Next question. Since I bought this phone outright from Google (ouch on my checking account) I have the freedom to move to any company. Sprint is out of the question since there service in Denver area is real bad. Dose AT&T or T-Mobile support Data and calling at the same time if Verizon dose not work for this?
Advanced calling 1.0 is not yet supported for the nexus 6 even if you turn it on in your account. Have to wait for vzw to enable it for this phone.

Once VoLTE is enabled you can talk and use data at the same time. on Verizon.

The Nexus 6 does not support Advanced Calling 1.0 on Verizon (yet). On AT&T and T-Mobile, I have confirmed that it works fine on both. Bummer, huh? But many of the new Android phones do not support this on Verizon (again...yet). Patience is not my greatest virtue, so I'm back to using my iPhone 6 on Verizon and my Nexus 6 on T-Mobile for that reason
Cheers,

It's fine near downtown, but gets crappy the further you go out. Head to the mountains and it's terrible.

Should i try AT&T first?
For Colorado I'd stick with VZW and ATT as they are the two reliable outside the Metro areas. Yeah, I'd try ATT before TMO.

Does anyone know if a specific app or firmware will be needed to be pushed to the phones to get their advanced calling feature, data and voice at the same time? Or, do they flip a switch and it will work already on the unlocked nexus 6? I am concerned that if I buy a job Verizon nexus 6 that it will one day not have a chance of going to me.

A software update will be required in order for VoLTE calling to work. No saying if/when that will happen.

I switched to T-Mobile from ATT and I couldn't be happier. Before that I had Verizon and so far I have no regrets my service is 7x faster then ATT LTE where I live. I tested my wife's S5 on LTE (ATT) it had 5mbs down and 1mbs up. My Nexus 6 on T-Mobile had 40down and 20up. Plus I can still use data while calling and its unlimited. These speeds aren't perfect, but I live in the middle of nowhere.
This should all be resolved once Vzw gets the N6 in stock on the 26th.
Bought the LTE version on ATT for my kid.
But I have found there is no way for me to track her.
If she has her phone, I can use google maps through sharing.
But with this I have found no app or no way to do live tracking.
