Is there a wrong way to buy the nexus? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking to upgrade through sprint and I want to know if I get the same phone through them as I would through Google or if it's going to be bloated or locked down in some way. Please key me know if you knew there is a difference in nexus 6s as bought through a carrier

If you can get the 64gb thru sprint at a discount, do it. The same phone. Same way you root, unlock bootloader, and install TWRP.
Then flash the heck out of it.

Sprint Nexus 6 is unlocked, no bloat and is the same as GPE or Motorola phone except Sprint Sim card is already installed.

[Q] Best way to install Google Wallet?

When I received my HTC One (AT&T) I was disappointed that I could not install Google Wallet. Coming from a Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4, this was a downer.
I just installed TrickDroid hoping that would resolve the issue but I still can't get Wallet installed.
Are there any guides out there detailing how to get Wallet up and rocking?
thanks!
I'm also wondering how to get it on my phone, I'm stock but rooted and unlocked.
Just noticed the Sprint version is running wallet.

Yep, it seems only our Sprint friends have Google Wallet working. I can't understand why we can't get the files from the Sprint ROM and make this happen, but apparently there's more to it.

(Q) need someone help

So I got a HTC one but didn't come with the 4g lte sim card, so the annoying notifications about no SIM can't be removed
My question is could someone get me a 4g lte sim card? Only reason I'm asking is cuz I'm not on sprint
Please and thanks

Can't you just buy a deactivated Sprint card?

I went into a corporate store and so they say they don't have them,he asked if I was a sprint customer and I told him I wasn't a sprint customer
So maybe they do just not for non sprint customers

I believe they're only for Sprint customers, since it's for sprint Lte...you probably need to use a SIM from whatever carrier you're on.

I know I need someone on sprint to get one for me ,,, cricket doesn't use SIM cards

Not sure if anyone is gonna give you their simcard theres bound to be info tied to their account on it, so maybe see about buying a prepaid one for tmo or att or boost (if they have lte for it) and see if that works to stop message onlu cost you a month at lowest cost prepaid

Anyone they get will be tied to their account, you know anyone with a old sim card or find someone that can disable the message for you

I'm confused... I think we need to clarify some things here.
1) It sounds like you bought an HTC One without a SIM card, are you sure this is a Sprint HTC One? Why did it have no SIM?
2) Was your intent to get a Sprint SIM card and flash the phone to Cricket?
3) What are you looking to do with another person's SIM card?

1) yes I got it without SIM card and yes it's a sprint phone
2) I am already fully flashed to cricket, I just need a sim so this will go away
3) doesn't have to be someone active SIM, it could be an old one

Complete shot in the dark, and unlikely to work, but if you hold your finger on the notif, do you get an App Info option? If you do, you could deselect "Show Notifications".

Is the Sprint carrier unlocked?

Let me know
My All New One
No
Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk
You will have to call Sprint International Services and tell them you are traveling overseas and if you meet certain requirements they will unlock it. If not you will just have to wait for somebody to find a fix if you want it unlocked.
To the 2 ppl that replied (and anyone out there) did you tried popping an att/tmobile Sim and see if it works? the m7 came unlocked no?
I need to know like right now cuz about to order one thanks! !!

The M7 did not come unlocked. It was the same thing with that phone. You had to call to unlock it, internationally. It was them sim unlocked for all but you had to be rooted.

Anyone knows if the unlocker app ffpr the Sprint htc one m7 will work on the sprint HTC one m8?
Can someone try it please ? I want to buy a htc one m8 and sabré to know if the Sprint version is compatible with the 3g/4g from att? I dont care LTE

The sim unlock app on the play store stopped working after the m7 was updated to 4.4.2. This phone uses the same version of android so I very much doubt it would work.

Got hands on nexus 6 att

Hey guys i had to gwt my hands onecone. Im a verizon customer and i couldnt wait tovget lucky for an unlocked one . Is it possible for me to get this thing to work . i dont have a nano yet. Trying to get a friend of mine from a verizon store to help me out there. If thays the case, will the nano sim card work for me or no ? Im on wifi and i love this thing !!!!!
You need to unlock the phone. It is SIM-locked to AT&T
To get it unlocked through at&t I need an account number and all that. I'm a Verizon customer so I don't have that information. I just bought the phone retail at an att. I heard you can unlock through 3rd party. Are there any recommended sites?

If you're a Vzw customer, get a Vzw nano Sim.
I'm battling the same thing. I'm a Verizon customer and bought the phone outright through AT&T on a friends account. Went to cellunlocker.net and waiting for them to go through another database for an unlock code
Just got word from art that December 4 they will loosen the requirements to getting it unlocked for free. Which may help us

Right now I have no data, but I have voice and text. Every hour or so I will get a message asking for my sim lock pin, which I don't have

I was able to get mine sim unlocked and it's working perfectly on Verizon without any issues.
Through that online unlock website ? How much though . supposedly about to be free through att.. NP issues at all though? Lol that's tempting ...

Bootloader

I'm thinking about switching to tmobile from verizon as I'm tired of them locking all there devices and you can't do what you want. Just wondering what tmobiles policy about this is. Do they also locked there devices?

Same here, got tired of ATT locking my phone up so i made the switch and haven't been more happy. Tmo at best doesn't even mind the phone being unlocked and rooted, have read comments from people that have exchanged phones using warranty and didn't even bother to restore stock firmware.
