If I purchase the Google Play Nexus 6 then activate it on Sprint will all the same roms in the android development section work on my device?

Yes, they should. All US carriers have the same Nexus 6 model.

International models should fit into the same section as well as all the prior Nexus devices shared the same section regardless of region or carrier.

Does the HTC One support Google Wallet?

I am looking into buying HTC one when it comes out here in the US. But, i was wondering if Google Wallet is part of the HTC one and if the HTC one supports it.. Can anyone who tried the phone share any info?
Is Google Wallet installed or you have to install it from Google Play?
Did you try to buy something with it?
any info will be great...
thx

So do many people but that does not answer any of my questions !!!
It would work depending on if Google has released it to work in your region.

Seriously now, did you try it or are you just guessing? and for now, please focus on US region..
It has NFC, it will most definitely have all the hardware to support Google Wallet. The problem is whether or not your carrier/region is willing to play ball, and/or whether or not XDA can hack Google Wallet into working with the ROM of choice.

Whether or not your carrier is willing to play ball. AT&T has never supported Google Wallet.

I have a Dev Edition. Google wallet is "not compatible with your device". I have not tried side-loading the APK yet. I may return the device due to many small nagging issues like this.

64gb dev version here. I tried wallet with modaco's toolbox to disable checks and it still doesnt work. However, wallet is not a big deal to me, at all. Cool to show off, nothing more, in my opinion.
just noticed the app is no longer available on the play store. i checked last to week to test, but uninstalled as the phone was listed as incompatible. anyone else not able to find the app? i assume google is not accepting the info on the build.prop as a compatible model?
It is a big deal to me... sort of. I will probably get a GoogleWallet swipe-card when they are available though, as most stores don't have NFC readers anyway here.
I hope the HTC One is eventually added to the list (does anyone know if it has the "secure element"):

Code:
Eligible devices for use with Google Wallet
Google Wallet with tap and pay requires an NFC enabled Android device with a Secure Element chip running the most recent Android operating system. Google Wallet is available on the following devices on select carrier networks:
Phones
Samsung Nexus S 4G on Sprint
Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Sprint
Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM/HSPA+
Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE on Sprint and Virgin Mobile
Samsung Galaxy SIII on Sprint, MetroPCS, and US Cellular
Samsung Galaxy Axiom on US Cellular
LG Viper™ 4G LTE on Sprint
LG Optimus Elite™ on Sprint and Virgin Mobile
LG Nexus 4 GSM/HSPA+ (available for purchase on Google Play)
HTC EVO 4G LTE on Sprint

Samsung Nexus 10 (available for purchase on Google Play)

At this time, Google Wallet does not support devices purchased internationally. The eligible device list above only applies to devices purchased from the listed carriers next to them. For example, an unlocked Samsung Galaxy SIII purchased internationally will not work with Google Wallet.

Did you get "Insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys)" as your error? I tried with the tool box and that's what I got on T-Mobile version.

I used this mod to get Wallet on my AT&T Galaxy S3 and I loved it. Hopefully someone can release an installer for the M7 too!
FYI, i was able to activate wallet today with no mods to the build.prop or etc. as i'm rooted, it does show the message "unsupported device" on the top, however it appears to be functional and synced to my wallet account. i'll try to test it soon to find out if it fully functional.

Kind of bizarre it isn't working on the Sprint version. Always thought Sprint was all in with Wallet, and it works on the One's predecessor.
Not a good sign, hopefully it's just a matter of something not being set up properly in the rush to get the phone released...

Would you mind sharing the apk with us? I've got root but each version I've downloaded just exits after warning that the device is not compatible.
Running TrickDroid on T-Mobile UK if it makes any difference.

Nexus 6 radios questions

From my understanding that all nexus 6 are the same no matter what carrier you buy from or Google Play. I have Verizon. My question is.. If I buy from another carrier sprint or t-mobile and I just pop my sim in shouldn't Lte and everything else work? Or will the radio bands vary on different carriers?
I think it would be work.
So far T-Mobile confirm it that is not locked on network and it's unlock phone.
But I'm not sure about the AT&T and other carrier.

Yes, it will work if you buy from any carrier. The model droid-life received was a T-Mobile unit, but they confirmed it worked with Verizon, including 4G. (http://www.droid-life.com/2014/10/31/nexus-6-working-on-verizon-out-of-the-box/)
I just got my pre-order in on Play Store.

I don't see anywhere in the article or video where they say their N6 was a T-Mobile unit. I'd be interested to hear that vzw has imei numbers sold from T-Mobile white listed in vzw databases.
A N6 bought from play/moto/vzw should have their imei white listed for vzw, I just haven't heard that is the case with N6 sold by other carriers.

In their unboxing video, you can see the box right before they open it. and it shows the phone is for t mobile. It says "T-MOB".
Wow, that's good news, thx.

While it will work with other carriers, T-Mobile will not be selling the Nexus 6 right out at launch. Only new plan customers or current plan customers can purchase the N6 for the foreseeable future.
Your best bet is to wait for your carrier to come out with it, or try ordering from Google Play/Amazon.

Verizon Nexus 6

I saw another thread here but it really didn't cover anything I wanted it to. I wanted to create this to maybe help others understand some things I am looking to figure out:
1) When Verizon announces release date.
2) Any downfalls other than paying full retail price by purchasing device elsewhere (G-Play, T-Mo)?
3) My understanding is that Nexus 6 is compatible with ALL carriers out of the box, so the Play edition is full compatible with all Verizon bands?
4) Seeing as how some were able to use Nexus 6 on VZW already without issues, are there any chances Verizon may block those devices from using their network?
5) Is there a good chance Verizon will ruin the PURE experience of Android and throw their crap branding all over Android L software?
Every single one of these questions has been addressed numerous times. There is no need for this thread.

Nexus 6 Google Play Edition:

I currently own the Samsung Note Edge, thinking of buying a Nexus 6. I came across a Craigslist ad for a 64gb Google Play Edition, factory unlocked, says it can be activated on any GSM or CDMA carrier..........since I'm with Sprint, will this work for sure?
There are only 2 models of nexus 6 so if sprint have one,, it should work though I don't know if something needs to be done at sprint. However that listing sounds a bit dodgy.. Google play edition? There's no such thing

Maybe they mean it was originally purchased through Google play store

You will just need a Sprint Sim card and you'll be good to go.

GPE traditionally was the name given to OEM devices such as the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy, that had a Vanilla Android like Google Nexus devices.
However, Google themselves have a model number of NAGPE (North American Google Play Edition) of the Nexus 6 XT1103. The other model number of the XT1103 is the NARTL (North American Retail), so you can get bogged down in semantics, but model number wise, there are many GPE Nexus 6 devices out there. All the ones bought from Google Play in fact

[Q] unlocked nexus 6 on verizon?

Now that some time has passed after Verizon released their nexus 6, is it possible to bring a google play nexus 6 to verizon in order to get it activated?
Or do I still have to resort to sim cutting?
