Navigation (GPS) doesn't work

This might be a deal breaker for me, and I can't believe I haven't heard about it in reviews.
GPS doesn't work if you are on the phone? Is this a VZW only thing?

Do you mean by calling ?

Yes, as soon as I make a phone call my GPS stopped tracking my progress. When I hang up, tracking resumes.

I have not noticed this with the OG X. I do use GPS and have calls at times.
I wont get my new 2014 X till the 29th

Voice calls and data connection currently don't work together. There's an update planned for "this fall" that will fix it.

Update - it seems like the GPS is still tracking, but my nav app begins searching for the data network to provide additional info (traffic, accidents, etc.).
So, not as big a deal as I thought, but still annoying and seems like a step back from my RAZR M.

not an issue on ATT.

I didn't have the same behavior on my RAZR M that I have with the Moto X. On the X, my navigation app, Waze, begins searching for a connection (though the GPS tracking continues). In addition, a box pops up to warn about the lack of data.

Verizon's CMDA/LTE can't do voice and data at the same time (with the exception of the Rezound and the Thunderbolt), it's a problem with CDMA. GSM networks like AT&T and T-Mobile have no problem with this.

Uh, what? Simultaneous voice and data has been a staple on nearly every VZW LTE phone SINCE the Thunderbolt, not just two phones.

I haven't had a Verizon phone since the galaxy nexus or Rezound came out so excuse me. I hoped over to t-mobile.

Nexus 6 on Verizon Help??!

Hello everyone i wanted to see if anyone could find a fix for this problem. Well to start this off when i got the nexus 6 its the T-MOBILE (unlocked of course) was working FANTASTIC when i inserted my sim into it. LTE, MMS, CALL, AND TEXT worked better than any android phone i ever used. But i had the VERY DUMB IDEA to call *228 on a LTE phone for laughs (worse mistake ever). Now i can only get 3g instead of lte which is WAYYYYYYY lower in my area. And now my nexus 6 has a 3G PRL instead of Verizon's LTE PRL it needs and i CAN NOT revert back. Help would be MUCH APPRECIATED!
I have ordered a new verizon sim to activate with a random lte devices of course to stick in it for be a fresh card to get the correct info for LTE .
I just need another solution to hold me until then

I did this earlier today...well a Verizon rep did...luckily didn't have any issues. Have you tried factory resetting?

get a new sim or put sim in vzw branded device is the only way to fix it

You will need a new sim

I figured so and yes the correct apn is in the the phone and everything like when lte worked but the prl is stopping it from connecting. Thanks everyone i will have to wait on the new sim

I did this too. Ill have to order a new sim I guess. if you get to the testing menu I was able to force LTE only.
Im glad im not the only one.
so definatly don't dial *228

Shouldn't have to order a new sim. Just go to the store and they will give you one. Shouldn't have to pay for it unless its an "authorized dealer" and not an actual Verizon store iirc.

You can try *22899 it was used on the gnex back in the day. I have never had issues with using *228 anyways on any phone.

Have you tried it? I have personally in my 2 gnexes and worked just fine, didn't "burn" my sim card either. Instead of not understanding a concept of looking it up, maybe you should just Google *22899 only and see for yourself.

I completely understand it. I worked for big red corporate for many years in sales. So, *22899 is literally *228 then option 1 so activation for CDMA phones. *22899 just avoids having to go thru the option. Nothing else.
Update:
Maybe you should google things a bit BTW. LTE phones auto activate. No *228. *228 is ONLY FOR CDMA and that is why this guy broke his phone. Before you recommend something to someone and then call me stupid, maybe you should do your own research. And the "I did it and I'm OK" line doesn't mean jack sh*t. Don't hurt other people because of your own ignorance.

OK. Well that is nice to know. Its hard to know what someone is saying. Often times people on XDA are jerks so it puts me on edge.
Anyway. It's programming the phone as if it is 3g only. It won't even work or go thru. But, if somehow it does like it did when LTE first came to big red, it will burn your sim and possibly worse. This is pretty common knowledge so I'm surprised you've seen anything but it. But again, there is never a time on an LTE phone to call this number. It should never even go thru but if it does, nothing good will happen. This is what happened to the poor guy on this thread. Perfect example.
Hope this info helps.

[Q] No incoming calls while WiFi is on

So my problem is that while being connected to WiFi, my phone cannot receive any incoming calls. I have flashed several Roms and radios to see if that would fix the problem, as well as playing with the APN settings. Has anyone else experienced this or am I just lucky? I am on T-Mobile so I'm hoping the WiFi calling makes this a moot point, but I'd still like to fix this for the time being. Same issue for sending or getting MMS, but textra has a work around for that. Thanks for your time and input.

Turn off enhanced LTE in Settings>more>cellular networks>carrier settings.

Apparently this issue is STILL present and it dates back to April and now it effects Project Fi users as well. How do Sprint customers deal with this, 4 MONTH missing calls and texts ?

I'm on my second nexus and its still an issue, seems like there is no way to fix this. I would like to know how many users are affected....

It wasn't implemented by Sprint, rather resourceful users through trial and error.
I had surely thought this was a Sprint specific issue, as we have been plagued by issues involving their network. I'm referring to the duplicate texting problems that were finally resolved in 5.1.1, so for once, I'm surprised that I can't #blameSprint.

The main issue on sprint seems to be that the phone has to switch from LTE to 3g to ring the phone, and for some reason it's having a problem doing that while on WIFI. Therefore being were all forced to run our phones in 3g mode. The phone has no problem ringing on WIFI.
your project fi should work fine on sprint.. When someone calls you on project Fi your phone uses LTE for calls ( or wifi ). No need for your phone to switch back and forth..
The easy fix for sprint on this is to just enable WIFI calling on the Nexus..

It hasnt worked on Project Fi, its the same issue as on Sprint. It did get better.....perhaps they are tweaking it. Lately its been working fine, so maybe they fixed it. Fi has different issue now....no band 12 support on M and people that run L build with B12 say they miss calls on Tmobile because Fi doesnt support VoLTE on B12

Do you mean the capability of talking on the phone and being able to surf the web on the phone's browser or even talk on the phone while you are tethering the phone as a modem for a computer or laptop????
If that's what you mean the answer is a big fat NO... Had a long conversation with Sprint about this today. If there is no third party fix for this. My phone will probably be going back and they will have to eat the restocking fee themselves...

Oh i agree. Same with me. Used it everyday. Think the newer notes dont have dual antennas or something like that. Baffling.

This is definitely a Sprint thing although when I had the S3 it had the capability to do both at the same time on Sprint.

You are right. The S3 was the last Samsung phone to support talk and surf under 3G service.
It's called: SVDO. I'm not so sure about Sprint but with Verizon, when you have LTE/4G, you can talk and surf.

I had a Note 3 in sprint which had 2 antennas and it could Data+Voice . Note 5 has only 1 antenna so it can't (atleast in Sprint Version). Also I think Sprint doesn't support VoLTE atm.

yes in another thread I started it has been confirmed that you can talk and surf on the Note 5 through other carriers....Sprint NO though Crazy to think I was talking and surfing on my busted up Note 2 just a few days ago, but can no longer do it on a brand new flagship phone. Just seems super backwards.

sprint will be adding talk and surf in the future. whi knows when.. probably at least a year.

Samsung Note 5 on Verizon no longer supports talk and surf. Very frustrating. I thought I was upgrading from my Galaxy S4, besides the large screen, the Note 5 is a step back. Several other annoyances: you are no longer able to paste a telephone number into the dialer. The work around I found is if you press a number on the keypad first then you can paste the number in...you just have to make sure to erase whatever key you hit on the dialer. And there is no longer an option to quick dial a person more than one number (ie: cell and home). If you look at previous Samsung widgets they give you more than one option, now it is only showing one.

I also noticed not only does this kill talking on the phone and browsing the web but it can effect other things too. Everyday I find more and more limitations to this phone.
-Since I use texting a lot for my business, I started using free messaging app like Kik and others for personal and social texting....That way there are no mix ups between personal and business text... lol no accidental text. So While I am talking on the phone I can not receive any of those messages until after I end the phone call. Since those apps are internet connection based.
So does this mean Email and paypal notifications will do the same? Meaning I cant get an important email or paypal payment notification until I hang up with the client? This would suck big time because I normally keep my clients on the phone to verify their payment has been received....

Well other people are now reporting that it is not just a Sprint thing so you may want to get some clarity before you switch.... Not even just talking and surfing or tethering and talking, but the fact that I cant get any web based messages, notification,or payment alerts while I am on the phone seems like there is no reason to have an all in one phone. Might as well just have 2 devices...

Looks like Post #11 in this thread is saying Verizon is no longer doing it. I have also seen others post this as well. I wish there was something that could be done about it. This really hinders my business use, social life, and entertainment vs my Note 2. Just an overall huge step backwards for me in every direction. I am just leery of buying a used Note 2 because I cant find any new old stock of them... Otherwise this thing would be back at Sprint ASAP.

All GSM note 5 are identical. There is no reason i could download, talk, hotspot and browse all at the same time using either LTE or a combination of LTE and wifi and other GSM note 5 can't. Isn't verizon also CDMA though? We don't have anymore CDMA carriers in Canada but I remember verizon being now or at some point CDMA

On my verizon note 5, I have to activate "advanced calling" in the settings. Only drawback is it sucks more battery juice on standby First time I activated it I had to reboot phone. I read the reason they had to change it is because 2 separate radios were used previously for voice and data. Now its a single radio.

Wow .. So it is possible with only one radio? I was under the impression that tome couriers opted for dual radios allowing talk and surf and Sprint did not. This is somewhat hopeful maybe there can be an app or hack to get or activate the "advanced calling" setting for Sprint. Would love to hear or see more info on this.... There is so much conflicting info on this.

Phone on Total Wireless

I just picked up this phone cause it was finally able to work on Verizon but I can't get any mobile data. I can get on the internet just not make or receive calls and texts. Total Wireless uses Verizon's network so I can't figure out why I am having trouble. I bought a new sim,tried 4 different apn combinations, talked with TW customer service for over 45 minutes and can't find a reason why I can't get calls. Anyone else out there with this phone in a similar situation and if you got it fixed how'd you go about it? Thank you all for your time and hope someone can chime in on the problem.

You need your sim configured with "CDMA-Less" profile. The TW reps are not the brightest, but if you do a search for CDMA-less profile you'll see even verizon reps don't know about this.. I hope you get this sorted. I have TW and vzw with gudp account. let me know if you get this fixed. I want the 128GB model.

Thank you for the reply. Ispoke with TW tech service yetserday morning and told them that is what the Razer customer support said about the cdma less side of the service. They told me to leave the Sim in the phone for 24 hours to configure but it is way past the 24 hour mark and still can't make or receive calls and texts. I have a number the TW tech gave me that's a direct line to him so I'm going to have to call. 800.00 for a phone I can only use for internet is way too high

Might as well give up on it. Bee on the phone with TW tech manager and with Verizon level 3 tech support.Verizon can't change mine because my account is with TW. TWcan't change it cause the change has to be made on Verizon's side. So basically any mvno of Verizon will not work. Was told Verizon prepay will but I get 6gb of data for 35 a month.Dont see me paying more for less data just to keep a phone

To let razor and other people know it won't work with total wireless... I still want the 128GB model... What is worse is my local best buy has the 64GB model for $645.

Have you thought about contacting razor? And going about getting a FULL refund. Every other phone with verizon support works on total wireless. I'm mad and i don't even have the phone...

I can get a refund and probably will. I have contacted Razer support and they said the first batch of phones that shipped on the 10th wouldn't even work for Verizon. A bunch of hoops had to be jumped through just to get a text message and even then it was spotty. If a person is on a Verizon mvno and wants to get the phone my advice would be to wait till the newness wears off a little and see if the bugs get ironed out. 645 is cheaper than what I paid. The BB where I live is 779$ over 850.$ after tax for the 64gb model

Thanks for making this thread though. Get that refund and get the phone again down the road. The Oneplus 6 will get CDMA-less verizon support and I hope that works on total wireless. I've had zero problems with it and all my verizon phones work in it. If the LG V40 was notch-less like this phone I'd get that. The pixel phones are a no go because the lack of sdcard support, I like to carry my music with me.

That's part of the reason I'm waiting on the 128GB model, it only exists on razor's website and clearly there's a showstopping bug.... None of reviewers even talk about it either.
One this review they make a stupid comment about wanting less ram and 128GB the date on it is 10/10/18
https://www.anandtech.com/show/1342...ds-on-now-with-wireless-charging-ip67-and-rgb
I perhaps think that going for a 6GB DRAM / 128 GB storage might be more welcome than the 8GB/64GB configuration however - I wonder exactly what users would need to do in order to hit 8GB of DRAM on a phone.
I've noticed a number of journalists already comment on the price. The last generation was $699, so this one being $799, with the feature changes is perhaps to be expected in a world where $999+ for a flagship device seems to be increasingly the norm.

Anyways let me know your end result with all this I appreciate it.

Ok update time. By sticking an old T-Mobile SIM in the phone and going in apn menu,if u put Tw apn in then pull out old SIM and put in Tw sim and make sure it's on global with advance lte calling checked I can make and receive calls,and send texts and pics but can't receive texts or pics. Don't know why that is but still working on it.

In 7.0 and above Google has locked apn settings on cdma phones so u have to use a gsm sim to access the app list.It doesn't have to be an active sim,just one that's gsm. Hope this helps anyone that wants this phone or has it and has the same issue as me.

The texts are being sent to your phone via cdma which the phone does not have the radio for hence the need for cdma-less profile on sim card. How's data for you?

Data is fine. It was before.just before there was no cellular network connection.

Nobody wants this phone to work on total wireless more than me.. Thank you for the continued updates..
I do have a few questions:
When did you get the phone? The exact date.. Did you have to update the phone or check for updates?
If you read this thread this guy talks about the issue even after Verizon certification on the 25th

Just an FYI to anyone still waiting on their device:
I received my phone today and had no trouble using my existing SIM card. Had no issues getting the LTE network, sending/receiving calls, and sending texts. I did still have the issue of not receiving texts. I jumped on a Verizon support chat, mentioned the CDMA-less fix, and it was applied to my profile. Once that happened, texts started flowing in.
Just wanted to let folks know that this had to be done even after the Verizon certification on the 25th.

I got the phone on Monday and as soon as I turned it on it updated.No asking if I wanted to just went straight to it. It is fine if you are on Version you can ask for the cdma-less profile but The TW tech manager said she didn't know what that meant and the Verizon tech o spoke to said since I was on a mvno of Verizon that he couldn't do anything for me.I asked if he would explain to the TW person but apparently that was too much to ask for.

Could the verizon rep still see your account even though is it with total wireless? The TW reps are useless in most cases. and I wouldn't trust them to screw in a light blub. The oneplus 6T will be like the razor phone 2 and require a CDMA-less profile, so TW will have to do something about this down the road. You could port your number to tracfone and probably have everything working., the company that owns tracfone own TW. I've been reading about people porting their number to google voice and forwarding call to whatever provider they are using.

Just a question: Did you add the IMEI number from the razor phone to your totalwireless account either via the web page or phone rep? There has to be a way for total wireless to setup a CDMA-less profile on your phone.

I asked if they could but the tech manager acted like she didn't know what I was talking about. Like if I had asked her if elephants fly. I know it can be done, it's just a matter of finding someone at TW that can and will do it

Well I been on another go around with TW tech support about getting a cdma-less profile and once again get told they have no idea what it is and when I said to consult with Verizon support to find out how to enable it on my account I was told that they could not do that. So I will be switching to H20 or Cricket and taking the phone back and order a OP6T. maybe after a month or 2 I'll go pick one up again.

I got this from the OPO forums, and didn't note the credit to who posted but here's this:
The CDMA-less feature is an available feature, meaning, unless the tech support person sees it as available for the system, he cannot add it. This is why some people get this feature added quickly by tech support and some people cannot. If tech support cannot add the CDMA-less feature, you need to tell them to look up on the network and billing system what the phone is showing up as. In 99% of cases once the IMEI is received, the network updates properly and the phone is registered as a OnePlus 6T but in the billing system it shows up unspecified/unrecognized. In this situation the tech cannot add the CDMA-less feature because he/she cannot see it as available. To verify this, if you login to your Verizon account your phone will not show as a ONEPLUS 6T. This means that there is a discrepancy and when the clueless tech is trying add this CDMA-less feature he/she doesn't see it.
The solution is to ask the Tech person to SYNC the network and billing so that the billing side can also see the phone as a OnePlus 6T. When this is done, and his side is refreshed, the CDMA-LESS feature becomes available. Once it is available, he/she can activate it.
