Google Fi 5.1.1 Build Issue - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Strange issue. I activated Project Fi yesterday on my Nexus 6 running lmy47z. Everything updated and works fine, however I keep getting prompted to do a system update to 5.1.1. I downloaded it and looked at the log in TWRP and its showing that it's trying to update me to lyz28e. I know lyz28e is the T-Mo build that enabled wi-fi calling among other things. I noticed that in my area I get better T-Mo coverage, hence my phone defaults to T-Mo when I run a *#*#344636#*#*. When I force to Sprint, the issue doesn't happen, however, my coverage is extremely poor, so this is not a good solution.
Here are my questions:
1.) Wi-fi calling already works on lmy47z, why do I need lyz28e?
2.) How do I get the prompt to stop coming up? Project Fi support told me to clear my project fi app cache... this did not work. I don't really want to flash to 28e if I don't have to.

Says who?
Project Fi specifically states they dont recommend flashing specific builds, but have made it optionally available for those who wish to try it.

Okay.... Then you solve his problem....

I was under the impression that all 48c did was embed the project Fi app. Am I missing something here? I bought my nexus from Amazon unlocked. I thought 48c was only on the ones bought from Google directly

Why would it send him an upgrade to go to E? Something is not right. He was on Z already and it wants him to

Because 28E is a newer build than 47Z.

My thoughts exactly. Especially since it is unique to me being on T-Mo, to reiterate, when I force the radio to sprint, the issue goes away.

Join the Project Fi community and read about which version you should be using, and why, its all there.
No mystery really.

Try going to fi.google.com and sign into the account you registered for Fi with, then scroll down to the bottom, there should be a G+ button to click on.
If not there, it should be in the email that you received when your service was activated (the link to the community).

Call, or chat with them, you should be able to get in once you activated service.
There is a contact link in the email.

Just a quick update on this, after working with a few different Fi reps and their "higher ups" it was determined that the issue was caused by the build and it's interaction with the network. I flashed to 48C and have not had the issue since.

To clarify, now that your are on the LVY48C build, did the behavior of the phone in automatically switching between Sprint/T-Mobile change?

If anything, it's more seamless now. I haven't noticed anything more pronounced though.

One more followup: How did you flash to LVY48C? Did you flash a complete build yourself from scratch, or did Google support provide an OTA to install on top of what you had?

I flashed the rooted version via twrp found here on xda. I'm on my phone so I don't have a direct link, but it's in a thread from one of the mods if you search for the build. It took fine without a full wipe (just wiped the sys and dalvik cache).

First time Nexus owner, few simple questions.

Just switched to tmo and purchased a 64gb Nexus 6 from Motorola. Should be here next week.
I had a few device & carrier questions being this is my first Nexus device (besides tablets)
I will be using this device on T-Mobile but it's from the Moto store.
Who will I be getting updates from? T Mobile or Google directly?
I plan on flashing a custom rom (most likely Pure Shamu from what I've gathered) being that one model of nexus supports all carriers (radios).. I read that T-Mobile will be pushing an update to support wifi-calling (which I need in my home). Will that work on my particular device or is there a specific T-Mobile Nexus that I'd need?
Lastly, I do use wifi tether quite a bit, and on my current devices rom they have the unlimited wifi tether hack.
Is that something built into a rom or has to be done separately?
Thanks for any help that can be given.
Oh, forgot one question.
Also read up on the encryption ordeal.
I don't need that on my device but is there any benefit to have it or not have it enabled?
Again, thank you.

Nexus is GSM unlocked and should theoretically work on all carriers out of the box. I bought mine from the motorola store and is working without any problems.
Updates come from google directly.
If you want to use Wifi calling, I believe that you do have to be running stock firmware, nobody will know for sure until it gets released.
I believe Shamu allows you to bypass the tether limit. I'm currently using CM 12 and tethering doesn't count towards my tethering limit.
The only benefit of not having encryption enabled is faster boot times.

If you root your phone, you can add the hack yourself. I am on a stock rom, and my grandfathered data plan has no tethering allotment, but i can tether to my heart's content. I copied this from another thread:
I was able to work around the issue by modifying the following sqlite database (you'll need root):
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
You need to add a new entry to the global table called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0.
It looks like you need to do this because some configuration data was added to Android for T-mobile that forwards tethered data to this APN: pcweb.tmobile.com
T-mobile is probably checking to see if your account has tethering enabled when you go through this APN.
After I made this change I also needed to change my APN settings so that it uses ipv4 instead of ipv6. It seems like tethering with ipv6 does not work 100% yet.
I hope this helps.

Definitely rooting and most like run a stockish custom rom. Hoping that's built in if not I'll take a look into that.
Most of the custom roms I've run on t-mobile have that built in and are preset to ipv 4 not 6 for that exact reason.

Marshmallow only 1 image will it work for project fi

Marshmallow only 1 image will it work for project fi ?
T-Mobile will probably have a carrier build of 6 and I'm sure shortly there will be a fi build as well
It does have Wifi calling built in so it should work as is for both T-mobile and Fi.
For T-mobile just download the app.

Does this work like T-Mobile's WiFi calling? Or should I just wait for a T-Mobile specific build? I'm literally sitting here with fastboot ready and a USB cable haha
Not sure how T-Mobile WiFi calling is set up on the nexus. Just know it works on project fi with WiFi calling.

There's only one image since wifi calling is a part of the os now, no need for separate builds just for the feature

Nope. The T-Mobile OTA page shows that they are updating to MRA58K, which is the same unified build that everyone else is getting.
I'm just chiming in to also confirm, unified build for sure! I flashed it and it's working great! Thanks guys! You're awesome!

You wouldn't have to. You'd just flash the system.img and boot.img. You dont have to lose all your data when fastboot flashing, if you do it manually and not using the flash-all scripts.

My verizon, and verizon voicemail on custom roms.

Is anyone having problems with these apps on custom roms? I am using RR 7.1 (first one), The app doesnt seems to recognize it as my phone. I am currently on hold with tier 2, whom cant seem to resolve the problem. I actually gave up on the verizon voicmail app and went to google voice. But alas, being able to see my data usage is quite convienient.
thanks in advance and sorry if this post offends, or is in wrong forum, or is a stupid question and all the other usual hurdles
you must grant the my verizon app the permissions it asks for in order for it to recognize your phone, you can deny the location permission later. VVM is hit or miss, i had it working on 7.1 crdroid but had to try a few times for it to finally setup.

I have the same problem with My Verizon, but I can use VVM just fine. Verizon might have updated the app to insist that it only be accessed from the device it expects. These CM 14.1 based roms have a different fingerprint than the stock rom.
Also, I'm surprised that Verizon did anything after you told them you had flashed a custom rom. That's pretty much the biggest excuse they have to not help you at all.

RCS for one. Launcher with Google feed built in without the need to root.
There are a few advantages to the T-Mobile ROM. Not a lot, but a few.

Oh I see I never heard of RCS until you mentioned it. I only booted the stock ROM once before flashing international. I also do not think microg supports Google feeds never used a feed before. How do people admin android without root?
I used to root everything. I just don't have the time anymore plus I din't buy my phone out right and I don't feel like calling TMO to try and get out of the payoff restriction.

I didn't buy phone outright within one hour of taking it home I was boot loader unlocked , sim unlocked and rooted. No need to call t mobile for anything. I only booted the stock operating system once. Which was only because it was required step in the process. They asked me for help in setting up my phone. I sure if you can remove Google play services and seemed to think the phone wouldn't work without Google play services.
I get the desire for RCS,but it's barely used still... I could see it mattering in the future, but as of right now, meh... I got mine unlocked by sweet talking a rep, but MSM tool is great too! As much as I love the Google feed, I simply have a shortcut for it on my home screen so I can quickly go to it if needed... Honestly, the international variant works so much better for me! Sadly, TMO really restricts software updates for so many Android manufacturers, even aside from OnePlus. By the time TMO approve a software update, new patches and updates have already released on the mainstream side.
Wow...figured someone would have mentioned it by now...but anyway. Nova Launcher has a Google Feed plugin where you can just swipe right and you have the Discover feed. No root required.
As for RCS...not that big of a deal for me. I'm using International on my TMO 6T because I got tired of the SLOWWW updates.
I'm confident the T-mobile techs have noticed your demands here on XDA. They are surely working on your requests.
Stand by.

Yeah, I know about the alternatives but they are just not the same as having a dedicated stock launcher with the feed built in. It just seems cleaner to me.
Right now though, I do admit I cant use RCS because no one I know has it. So I went to Beta 9 and am using CPL with the plug in.
I am waiting on my token so I can get off this slow update T-Mobile schedule. I finally got tired of waiting so I called them up and told them I need sim unlock they did it even without phone payoff.

What does sim unlock mean in terms of updates? I am not sure if my sim is locked or not no proper method of testing but omni or carbon ROMs update just fine without official sim unlock. I only used the stock ROM long enough to boot the thing to fastboot to flash the international ROM. I did this inside the t mobile store while they processed the return of my wife's iPhone ten pro or what ever it was. They didn't seem to mind. Odd they let me do it with out the phone being processed yet. Mine was rooted and boot loader unlocked before I got my receipt. Their system was down for processing returns so I was there about an hour.

Yeah but I would think that the advantages of having newer/faster updates outweigh having to use another launcher or having RCS. Honestly, the OnePlus Launcher leaves a lot to be desired. I got rid of it almost immediately after I got the phone after I saw its huge lack of customization. Used Nova Launcher for years and love it. I won't use these betas though. I use my phone all day and just don't wanna run into annoying bugs lol. Hopefully we get a big new stable update soon.
RCS isnt something I really *NEED*. I can see when a message was delivered...but I'm sure we'll get RCS eventually.

True. However, we'll see how long it takes for the google roll out to reach everyone. Not too mention if Big Red might impede their progress

My wife doesn't know hack from smack and it's been enabled on her device for well over a month now. Verizon, although a Pixel 3. I did the hack and apkmirror official update and it was available. I have the Pixel 4 but I'm also on DSDS with Fi so there was another obstacle. I do remember that I had to "accept" some kind of do you want in kind of thing for her but it works with no mods or offline updates.
