Why is Bluetooth tethering disabled in Canada?
I can see why in the States because they charge for tethering.
but in Canada I am not charged I have WiFi tethering but no bluetooth tethering.
I should see if I can load another ROM, but frankly the Know thing has me chicken,
Can your provider know if you do tethering? That's the first time I've heard that
You probs not going to get an answer in this forum as it has nothing to do with the gear. Better off going to device forum (or general)

It has everything to do with the Galaxy Gear because the Galaxy Gear is the only reason why I want it.
I suppose the concern is security.

It isn't. Works just fine.
Every time you turn on your WiFi you're being logged and tracked.
Spy agency tracked passengers for days through free Wi-Fi

That's why your (Every Canadian) carrier allows for WiFi tethering but disable Bluetooth tethering to encourage users to use wifi to be tracked by the government.
Canadian here tethering no problem. Nexus 3 on aokp , gg on null 23, carrier = wind

Some carrier's block tethering because it is only offered on certain plans.
Lol bounce a thread than is 4 months dead.
Really does not matter much, the Canadian note 3 does not have native bluetooth tethering and that is all.
The next generation smart watches will be out soon, waiting for Android Wear devices, things have changed since last December.

True, but that's a Nexus 3, older phones used to have Bluetooth tethering until Canadian NSA Spy program went online and required the end of that.

Should bluetooth tether work on AT&T in USA now that I switched to their Mobile Share plan, and not the unlimited? I am on stock again for now, but would switch if I can get online on the watch. Thanks.
Thus far, I think we've learned that dropping in a Nano SIM from an active line works perfectly.
What else is working? What is not working?
Is Google Voice working?

I haven't come across any issues however I don't use Google Voice or tether (two most common questions). Otherwise, it works just like any other device would.
Does anyone with a Google play device have it show up as non Verizon device on your account.

That is exactly what is shown. NON-VZW DEVICE.
Ok so neither moto devices or Google are in the Verizon system.

I got mine from Moto and everything works as fine as any other phone I've ever purchased directly from Verizon. It was as simple as inserting the nano SIM from my old Moto X and I was good-to-go.
I use Google Voice for VM and have had no issues.
I don't pay for the hotspot feature, so that doesn't work until I have root.
Yes, My Verizon shows NON-VZW DEVICE, but it works flawlessly. FWIW Google Play also initially showed "No carrier Nexus 6", but now it says "Verizon Wireless Nexus 6".
I think everything works as far as I know. Tempted to buy from tmobile but don't want Verizon to whitelist or black list or whatever.. I already have a nano sim from the m8 and adapter for,my g3.
But tmobile. Has to activate it first.. I wonder if that would cause any issues?

Hmm but the Motorola one will not show up as Verizon wireless nexus 6. I wonder if later they can disable it. Edit: nevermind that's the actual phone saying that.

I think the whole issue with Verizon is really overblown and there shouldn't be any concerns. There are only two variants of the phone, one for US and one for international. Verizon and Moto/Google have obviously come to some agreement to allow the US version to use their network without any extra steps. I know it's hard for everyone to believe that there is a real Nexus on Verizon, but I'm here to tell you that it's here, and it works effortlessly and flawlessly. Verizon deserves some credit for this after the Galaxy Nexus debacle, but again....that was their own variant of the phone. Phones have changed to be less carrier-centric, and the carriers have had to adapt if they want to carry the popular phones.

I agree. The only caveat is if you don't have a nano SIM you have to either cut yours or order one from Verizon on the phone not in store. Then activate using your old phone.

What about the alleged carrier bloat that was supposed to be downloaded upon activation? Havent heard a word on this so I assume it aint true
Nothing came down on mine, but this could also be due to the fact that Verizon doesn't even have the N6 in their system so there may not be anything on there side setup to even push. This could possibly change down the line when Verizon actually starts carrying it.

My phone is part of my works plan, in which hotspot is a feature. When I clicked on the hotspot option the phone did a "checking for subscription" type warning and then it enabled.

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.

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
I have the unlocked Duo Note 5, SM-N9208 on AT&T and was wondering if somehow there is a way to add the HD Voice setting? I picked up the Gear S2 watch and in order to use the number sync feature with the watch, I need to have HD Voice setting on the phone. Having the international version has its pro's and con's. So far no Samsung Pay and now can't set up the Gear S2 to use the number sync feature with AT&T. I am still very happy with the Note 5 N9208.

I would like to know this as well. I'm using unlocked T-Mobile note 5 on AT&T network and just bought the S2 Classic and I can't get numbersync to work. Everything I read is saying the phone must have HD Voice setup before it will work. Wonder if AT&T can set my T-Mobile phone up with HD Voice? I don't think it should matter or not if my phone is an unlocked T-Mobile being that I'm using AT&T sim and everything else on the phone works perfect.

as far as i know HD voice is enabled by default and if your carrier supports it then it is automatically displayed during call.
Can the T817T T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 be used as a Smartphone?
I'm trying to minimize what I carry between Tablets, Laptops, and Smartphones.
If I can just get away with the T817T T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 ,
Since it already has built-in LTE and SIM card... Why Not?
http://www.t-mobile.com/internet-devices/samsung-galaxy-tab-s2.html
I hope it's possible!
Well it dosent have an integrated earpiece. But I assume if you use a sim with a voice plan and bluetooth or wired headset I dont see why not.

Just got a T_Mobile version of the tab today with the hopes of giving it to grandad to use as a phone.
Sadly, voice functionality does not exist on the tablet. I installed a few dialers and attempted to make a call, as well as attempting to receive a call, and no dice. The current ROM must be compiled without the telephony libraries required for making calls, as the hardware should be perfectly capable.

I had heard rumors in that some XDA members had hacked the S2 to actually work as a Phone considering it does have all the hardware.
I use to have the first Galaxy 7 Tab in which I flashed a ROM to that very thing... used it as a Big Phone with Bluetooth earpiece.
But I cannot find anything on the S2 to accomplish that feat...
Seems like it should have that functionality but no such luck. I've made/received calls via Hangouts Dialer occasionally... works just like a regular phone/dialer would IME. I probably use it most often to call my own phone when I'm at home and can't remember where the heck I left that thing
So in essence if one wants voice dialling then they need to buy the SM-T819 internation model? Which does not have band 12?
