does the verizon nexus 6 need special treatment? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does a nexus 6 on verizon need to have a special stock rom than a nexus 6 on att or tmobile? I bought a nexus 6(presumably most recent build 5.1.1) from google play and just want to stick a verizon sim into it. Do I have to flash a verizon nexus 6 stock file into it in order to make it work?
Similarly, is there any difficultly getting roms such as Chroma to work with verizon?

I believe LMY47E is the Verizon version.

It doesn't matter.....I have a att nexus on Verizon ...I flash everything and even ran the m preview

You don't need to flash anything. I'm running a nexus 6 on Verizon that is from Google Play.

If you want VoLTE to work properly, you'll need to receive the Verizon OTA

I flashed the E ROM and everything worked perfectly. Volte was enabled from the first boot. Granted, I had already added HD voice, advanced calling, whatever, to my account prior to flashing. HD voice is scary clear and detailed.

No. Some ROMs yes but, mostly no.

LMY47Z works perfectly on verizon, including volte.

If you want the Verizon bloatware flash LMY47E.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus -> Moto X (tethering) question

OK, I just got myself Moto X (16GB) and I'm coming from Galaxy Nexus.
I had to go and pay full price for a phone so I don't lose my unlimited data plan, now my goal is to be able to tether off of it), while using my Galaxy Nexus I had https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fattin.togglewidget.hotspot that I installed from Google Play that allowed me to enable tethering ... unfortunately that doesn't work w/ MotoX(
Is there any easy way like this widget to get to tethering (w/out root)?
ClockworkMod tether may work, I did the same thing as u actually... toro to Moto X full price to keep unlimited. I rooted mine and put safestrap on it and I love it to death, even a patch for native wifi tether to work bypassing the check here on xda. For what it's worth you can always RSD back to stock if you don't like it rooted or need to return it.

How come RockMyMoto instead of PwnMyMoto? PwnMyMoto seems like easier to do (I've tried it and couldn't get it work due to an error inside of ZIP)

Google Play Services (att) needed

I went and downloaded newer versions of Google Play services from apk mirror and now keep getting a permissions notification.
What version are you running on your stock att branded nexus 6 and do you have the apk?
Thanks.
I have the moto version and mine came with 6.1.84. I installed 6.5 but it caused my Google Inbox to stop working along with GPM. I'm just going to wait for it to update on its own
Attached a pic of the updated version I have on my N6 (from T-Mobile). Should be the same across carriers, but someone with an AT&T version can confirm. Also, this version is giving me huge battery drain (either first or second on the list in settings). No other issues besides that though.

Stock. 6.1.88 Att no issues with battery drain. Doesn't even show up on my battery use and all options are on.
Mine is running 6.1.88 -736! Looking at Google's explanation of the - XYY version, this doesn't make any sense! This is a stock ATT N6. I have only unlocked the bootloader.
I really wonder if it is on the 736 version because I bumped my Nexus 4 running lollipop for the initial setup. I have thought about flashing the factory lrx21o image and seeing what happens...
Shouldn't I have 738 or something? A

Updated via the play store or did you manually update it?
Manually updated by downloading the apk
Someone with the stock version, do you think you could download the apk so I can flash the stock one? I want to avoid having to reflash the whole boot image just for the stock version, and I can't find the apk anywhere else.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Disable the play services then downgrade it to the stock version and re-enable it.
Here is a link to the stock one that's on my phone (I didn't post the apk)

I can't get any themes to install from the play store. I just get a " could not properly install theme " error. I flashed Franco but I don't think that would interfere. Any suggestions?

verify your APN is correct, remove all APNs that you do not use, this is an alpha so stuff like this is expected, they have been merging a ton of code
2 questions, what is the hash in the status bar and how can I disable it, and does this rom support multiple dpi's without playstore issues?

1. You are using something with root access. 2. That would be a gapps issue not rom related.

This is working pretty good. Thanks. Only thing to report so far is volume long press to change tracks is not working for me. Looks like its time to learn a bit about android and finding out what to tail when these things are happening..

Having the same issue here. Just flashed CM12.1 BETA and track skip is not working. Hoping there is a solution.
just something curious about.
Is the 12.1 kernel for this rom set up to work with cm12? could this be the issue that cm12.1 isnt running properly with 5.1 kernels?
Sorry for cluttering up the ROM thread with my issue, I'll continue my research here. I need a little assistance and I do believe it's a CM12 and CM12.1 issue regarding LTE in my area. Here's a brief synopsis of the issue I have.
When I got my N6, i played around with stock 5.1 for awhile. I live in a rural area in Wisconsin where I get 2 bars of LTE from a Verizon tower on my Jetpack and I got it on my old S5. When I brought my N6 home however, regardless of what i tried in Cellular settings, i had nothing but 3G unless i switched to LTE/CMDA/UMTS mode where i would get my Data. I was unable to make or receive calls using this and I called Verizon. After a brief checking on their end, they turned on Enhanced LTE on my account, which made the toggle appear under Cellular which i flipped on. I was then able to make and receive calls and get LTE data.
My issue with both CM12 and CM12.1 is that the toggle for LTE/CDMA/UMTS doesn't exist on either build. If I flash the most currently nightly of CM12 or this Alpha, I am stuck with 3G at home. I have switched Cellular from LTE to Global on CM12 and it doesn't make a difference. The Carrier on the ROM usually reads 31000 rather than Verizon in the status bar. I have attempted to take the working APN from my stock rom and mastamoon graciously posted his apn-conf.xml on the ROM thread which i replaced mine with and still no LTE. Now here's the kicker. I drove into a different town that has a Verizon LTE tower and flashed the latest CM12 nightly from stock 5.1 and was greeted with LTE out of the box. This leads me to believe that there's something different about the LTE tower here by my home which requires this toggle on stock to even reach. It's a fairly strange issue, to be sure. I've flashed non-CM Optipop and flipped the toggle in the rom and have LTE here at home.
Now I know most people think, "Well that's your problem in your area, I don't have it so why make it a problem with CM12." Mainly because it's a technical issue which can be resolved by running stock 5.1 or a 5.1 ROM so there's some integral component in CM12 missing that stock has, perhaps tied to that toggle switch. My main goal for the N6 was to end up with CM12 and I really don't plan on giving up on it. I'd like it to work here at home though and as it stands, I can't use it if there's no LTE. (I tether and the 3g tower is crap) So there in a nutshell is the issue i'm having. I'd appreciate any advice to get this working on my phone.
Edit: Doing a bit of further research and comparing my phone to my friend's N6 that lives a town or two away, I've again flashed CM12 nightly dated 4/11. I was able to get LTE from the tower by my house by switching to Global and setting US Radios in the hidden menu. I could not make or receive calls however. The Enhanced LTE toggle does not exist under the Mobile menu and the VoLTE Provisioned flag toggle does not exist in the hidden menu. (#*#*4636*#*#) This was required to be on (even on stock 5.1) to make calls.
Edit: Ok so hmmmm.... I fiddled around some more, tried a different 12.1 rom and went back to this unofficial and now for some unexplainable reason it all works. I really wish I knew why. The only caveat is that VoLTE doesn't work.. possibly because it's a 5.0 rom and not a 5.1? My data drops out when the phone rings on LTE.
com.android.phone has stopped working
Hi I've done a complete wipe via TWRP 2.8.5.0 (system, dalvik, cache, etc.) and installed the official latest nightly of Shamu CM12.1 20150418. I've also tried a combination of GAPPS such as the one on the second post (gapps-lpmr1-20150324-signed), and gapps-L-4-18-15, gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed, but all come to the same problem.
When the system starts up, I get an error that com.android.phone has stopped working. It does not pick up my network, and I cannot place calls (other than emergency) or send/receive text messages. This happens with all the CM12.1 releases, with all the combination of GAPPS. When I revert back to CM 12 with the 5.0.x GAPPS, it works just fine. My nexus 32 gb is factory unlocked.
Any ideas?

Verizon Voicemail APK

can someone who still has stock firmware copy over the Verizon voicemail APK and upload it somewhere for me? I'm having major problems getting it to work under Chroma and done a lot of troubleshooting with no results. Verizon tech supp told me the play store app is a little different and I need to get the app that comes with the phone
Thx

it only works properly on the stock ROM. it does not work on custom ROMs. I'm not on Verizon, but I've been reading about Verizon users not getting it to work on custom ROMs, for months.
BTW, the app does not come preinstalled on the phone. it downloads from the play store when you boot up with the Verizon sim in it.
Using the newest versions of BlissPop ROM I've been able to use the Verizon visual voicemail app from the playstore.

Dhacker actually just recently got it working for CM and I assume others have/will start picking it to their roms.
Get from here, on the play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.visualvoicemail
Side loading the app won't help. If the play store says incompatible, it won't work. But as others have stated, most recent ROM updates have added this feature. I know cm, octos, aosip, slim, chroma and benzo for sure all have it added.

AT&T SGS5 4.4.2 KK stock ROM WiFi (Hotspot) Fix for Unlimited Data

I did nothing to write this fix.
I only found it.
I added Direct TV to my AT&T and got the unlimited data plan exclusive.
They locked my hot spot!
So I gladly rooted and followed the instructions on this site to install a mod with Xposed framework for KitKat Users to Enable the Hotspot!
