So my father in law pre-ordered a note 3 for me.
Yet I am not on Verizon. I am on AT&T.
I have been flashing for years on my androids, But, I am unsure if I can flash AT&T firmware to make it work properly on my network. (at least until I start flashing other roms!) Any help would be good.
I don't want to sell or trade it in, MY Wife would be sooooooo pissed!!! she would definately know.
So, can i just reflash AT&T firmware on the verizon phone?
Thanks in advance.
From my understanding nope. Something to do with the bootloader. To be totally honest I don't know the details, I just tried to find that out a year ago when looking for phones on craigslist.
Tell your wife there's nothing you can do and sell the thing. It's not that big of a deal really. You'll get a pretty penny for it and will be able to have almost the entire price of a new one from verizon.
Vzw is cdma and att is gsm the phone will not work. There is no fixing hardware in the phone

Yup, won't work. Even if you could flash the ATT ROM, the hardware is different.
I have a similar question. Can I flash international and other gsm roms on a tmo note.?
Like I can on my s4?

Just switch to Verizon and cancel ur AT&T service. It is impossible to flash AT&T onto verizon device.

what? Why? What kind of relationship are You in!?
The posts here are ALL INCORRECT...... YES Verizon is a CDMA carrier, But what does there LTE run on??? GSM....
NO you cant flash AT&Ts Note 3 rom on a Verizon note 3. Just pop your AT&T Sim card in, Set up your APN and set the phone to GSM only and BAM it just works no root no mod no nothing.
You WONT get LTE, Only 3G and Edge.
This works on the Verizon Galaxy S3 and the Verizon Galaxy S4....
Some necessary info . . .
"You WONT get LTE, Only 3G and Edge"
The S4 will work perfectly on AT&T, by simply calling them and asking for a free SIM card, assuming you are an AT&T customer. And, LTE works perfectly, as well.
~Speaking from experience.
the verizon note 3 is already factory unlocked all you have to do is go into the settings and click GSM and set ur apn settings and you will not get LTE but you will have hspa+ and full talk and text with no issues

I have yet to switch my Verizon LTE Nano SIM to my Nexus 6 but I was wondering if Advanced Calling 1.0 is functioning, particularly the HD calling feature. Pretty hard to go back ever since having it with my iPhone 6 Plus.

Greetings from the Bay Area. I stuck my Verizon SIM in my T-Mobile Nexus 6 and I couldn't figure out how to tell if HD Voice was working (since it was too early to call my wife), though when I made a call it switched to 1x in the notification bar. That's a bad sign. I'll do some more testing today and report back. I was especially curious about this as I too I find HD Voice to be awesome on my iPhone 6.
-Collin-
if its anything like tmobiles hd calling, which works on the n6 btw, both phones have to have it before it works. if only one of the 2 phones in the conversation has it, it wont work.
VZW user here. I can confirm that all of the advanced features are not working at this time. In fact the phone is not even capable of simultaneous voice and data.
This is true of several new phones on Verizon including the Droid Turbo, which of course is the carrier locked 5.2 inch version of the Nexus 6. In all likelyhood the Nexus 6 will not see VoLTE or simultaneous voice and data unless Verizon finds it in their hearts to get an update to us N6 users that will turn those things on for us.
I knew all this going in but i hold out hope that Verizon will carry the phone, which would mean an update will eventually hit.
However, should they not carry it I will be ok with the phone as is.

the phone is very capable of phone service and data at the same time. and the phone is compatible to volte. on all other providers besides verizon, it can get voice and data at the same time(verizon is cdma and doesnt support it). that said, verizons volte is just starting to make it out. when you get volte in your area, you will be able to make calls and get data at the same time.
Not true, I have volte on my area and used successfully in the iPhone 6 plus but it does not work on my nexus 6, even after going in and adding advanced calling on my line.

odd, ive talked to a few using their lte lines to connect calls over volte.
Until Verizon issues an update for the Nexus 6, the feature won't work, period.
I'm assuming Google will push out an update that enables it if you are using a verizon SIM, but who knows.
Just wait. If it's a feature you need, you'll have to wait until Verizon officially supports the device.

Verizon phones have had data and voice at the same time in the past, but some newer android phones (Nexus 6, Moto X 2014, G3) don't have it, yet. VoLTE is a bit different, but also limited to certain devices.
This article might help a little:

It it software based e.g. is there an .apk on the droid turbo that allows for it to work? or is it on the core android [system] level that needs to be baked in at the time of building the rom? Obviously where I am going with this is if it's something installed, on the droid turbo for example, can we just lift off those files off and work to get it work in AOSP land?
No there isn't. The Turbo doesn't support it yet. Unfortunately you're going to have to be patient.

I have not tested this, but usually "ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1" in build.prop does the trick.
Coming from Beans I would Like to Know When they begin building a rom will they be able to port this in from something like the new Droid that has this feature working. I Know the Alliance team has the N6

you cant "enable" it. its automatically enabled if its in your area. problem is that both caller and receiver need to have this for it to work.

Gotcha ... Thanks for responding. I've got one coworker that's on T-Mobile as well and their device must have it as well because when I talk to them the call is so loud and clear I have to lower the volume! lol

lol, its the same thing when im talking with my father :angel:
If the N6 supports volte and we are using it before vzw sales the device directly, is Google able to help us activate this feature? Bc i dont see vzw giving an update to phones that are unrecognized and showing as non vzw devices.
Sooo.... I am wondering if volte support will ever work on those of us who chose not to wait til vzw releases their version of the nexus 6?
May be the price we had to pay to get a non tramp stamped nexus without any carrier customizations and bloat.....

I'm just happy my Nexus 6 hasnt been violated by Verizon. They never got their dirty little hands on it. It's so nice having a phone with No bloatware.
Verizon will eventually carry the Nexus 6 and will eventually send out the Software update which enables VoLTE. I'm not sure if we will get that update? But we shall see what happens
Greetings!
I purchased a Nexus 6 from T-Mobile and have used it interchangeably on both T-Mobile and Verizon without issue. Well, the phone has no issues, but the networks do. I just moved to a building where I get ZERO Verizon coverage and ZERO T-Mobile coverage. T-Mobile will eventually fix this with WiFi calling, I think, but to my great surprise Sprint seems to have service here! My coworker's S5 on Sprint works just fine.
So, I'm interested in trying out the Nexus 6 on a Sprint prepaid plan for a month to see what the service is like. Has anyone tried using the Nexus 6 on Sprint prepaid, Virgin Mobile, Boost, etc? It would be awesome to go buy a SIM card at Walmart or something and try it out for a month. Curious to know if anyone has any experience with this, though, I think it's a bit of a niche situation
-Collin-
I don't see it being an issue. You would get the sim and have to activate on their network. The cdma part has to be provisioned for phone calls. Ting is an mvno of sprint. https://ting.com/blog/device-update/

i believe only google play or motorola will work,at least that's what ting and android police say
It all depends if the IMIE is on file. Or if they will add it for you. My apologies, I didn't catch the TMO part earlier. But I read some got the TMO version activated on Sprint. So it's possible the IMIE was sent to sprint along with the Playstore versions as well.

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,

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.
looking to buy a new phone for the GF and considering the Moto X 2014. i am having trouble finding out if it is fully compatible with T-Mo however.
thank you.

Just be aware that the XT1095 does not support Tmobile wifi calling. The phone supports Tmobile in every other way. I personally highly doubt that the 1095 will ever support Tmobile wifi calling.

appreciate the info. would be nice to have but shouldn't be a need as we have the unlimited everything plan.
I understand it also doesn't support 700 mhz Band 12 which is filling in many LTE gaps that TMO traditionally had in some arras

I went to Orlando a couple weeks ago and I bought one Sim of T-Mobile and always was on LTE and everything went just fine. My model is the XT1097 running 5.0.2 official , so I am guessing that both models, the ,1095 and 97 are fully compatible.
Moto's site had the moto x on sale for $299 recently you should see if they are still at that price.
BTW I own the pure and use it on tmobile no issues at all. I also called about band 12 and was told there are only like 6 cities currently that tmo uses band 12 on currently

Yeah, it's a bit more widespread but they aren't really using it for coverage expansion yet. They're primarily using it to improve building penetration.
If you typically hold onto your phone for 2+ years, you may want to consider buying a phone with Band 12 now. Otherwise you probably won't see much benefit for the next year or so.

Well Project Fi uses T-Mobile and Sprint's networks and their only device is the Nexus 6, which supports Band 12. I can't imagine that Google penned a deal with T-Mobile that gives them access only to some of their bands...
