Hi everyone,
I've been using my phone for awhile now since I got it roughly sometime last September, and I've had to install an old version of Google Fi in order for it to activate my phone properly. I just saw that Google Fi updated their app, into something called "Google Fi Wireless". Anyone using this version and working fine on the Vivo X phones?

Can anyone confirm what OTA any non VZW Nexus 6 on VZW is getting? Curious to know... Sorry if this is a repost. Couldn't find it while searching.
Thanks!

My GPS model shipped with 5.0 and updated to 5.01 after a couple hrs on wifi. I rooted and flashed a 5.1 rom shortly after so I don't know if or when it would have updated to 5.1.

all nexus 6 are getting 5.1, regardless what carrier youre on. all nexus 6 in the US are identicle. when buying via verizon, itll just have a verizon logo on it, thats all.
I just received my replacement phone (which I purchased from Motorola but had the shutting down while battery still displayed 50-90% issue), put my VZW SIM into it and can tell you that on my phone, the OTA progression went from 5.0 to 5.01 to 5.1 "LMY47D".
Just an FYI: After it flashed to "LMY47D" and used it for a couple days (VZW "VoLTE" worked fine with this), I went to the Google factory image page and flashed "LMY47E" as that is the version that comes on the Verizon variant, factory reset, and when I set the phone back up, the phone automatically downloaded My Verizon as well as Verizon Visual Voice Mail automatically once it signed into the Play Store. I do not know if "LMY47D" would have downloaded those Verizon apps or not after a factory reset with a Verizon SIM in it, so someone else will have to chime in on that.

the provider apps get installed because of your sim card. can always first boot without the sim card installed, that way it wont install provider apps.
Received my Google 64 GB white Nexus, popped in my Verizon SIM no problem. I set up my phone over wifi first "it came stock 5.0" , powered off inserted SIM, then powered on, while phone was on wifi it updated to 5.1 Lollipop, 4G works fine.

I bought two Nexus 6's from Amazon (USA) because they are supper good deals right now at $349. I picked up two identical devices, 32GB Cloud White - they are US models XT1103, they were sealed the same way as my first Nexus 6 from Google Play Store a year ago. But, when I powered them one, one updated from 5.1 to 5.1.1 and after that right to 6.0 while the other one will not, no matter what get any OTA. I tried clearing device cashe memory, I tried clicking "update device", I tried hard reset, I tried clearing Google Framework Services and force stopping it. Nothing works. I don't want to flash manually, I want the OTA. Can someone tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? Thank you
Each device receives it's update whenever Google sends it. Simple as that

Did you bother reading my whole post? I'm not worried about 6.0, I'm worried why I'm not getting OTA download of months old 5.1.1. out of the box?
Happening to many people... Google seems to be loosing that which only they had on Android space... reliable updating.
I have a weird issue popping up and both Google and my tech savvy friends are having no luck in solving it.
My Nexus 6 was originally purchased through AT&T. When I got Project Fi, I worked with a Google rep to flash the Fi firmware onto it so it would be unlocked and work with the Fi network. That was all back in early August. I kept using the phone switching my AT&T and Fi sims in and out whenever needed (AT&T still remains my primary carrier, Fi was more for when I traveled internationally) and it worked fine.
For the last three weeks, I was using my AT&T sim in a Galaxy S6 Edge I was borrowing and was using nothing in my Nexus 6. At the end of last week, I put my AT&T sim back into the N6 but could not make any calls. I can receive calls but I can't make them from my end. Whenever I try (with Wi-Fi on or off), I get the message "We could not complete your call. Please try again" and it hangs up.
Can anyone think of any reason this is happening or how to fix it? Thanks!
Good morning folks,
I've been looking at the available roms for the X4 and looks like some good ones out there! However, I've seen comments in just about all of them indicating that the Google Fi carrier switching doesn't work. I specifically recall a comment about it not working in _all_ Lineage based roms. As cool as the roms posted here are, carrier switching is the number one reason why I got the X4.
Are there any roms in which the Google Fi automatic carrier switching is functioning properly?
Thanks!
My experience when I had a Nexus 5x, carrier switching would never work unless you flashed GAPPs with Fi included before the first boot. Are you sure you're using a Google Apps package that includes Fi?

Thank you for the reply Toxeia! Which rom were you using on your Nexus?
I have not yet attempted switching to an aftermarket rom, because of the concerns I've read for Fi (and Fi is the primary reason I got this phone). I think most of the roms I've looked at use OpenGAPPS, so perhaps that is the problem. I'll definitely look into pre-loading official GAPPs before first boot.
I'm pretty sure if you just need to install the FI app from google. Should be no problems.
Greetings,
I was able to root my first smart phone (HTC Incredible) back in the day with help from XDA. I Installed Cyanogen Mod and was able to continue using that phone for 5 years. My next two phones were Verizon/Samsung and they were locked down tight with no work around.
I now have a Moto X4 with AndroidOne on the Fi network. I'd like to root it and install Lineage. I've looked at all the information here on rooting the X4, and the only thing I am not clear on is if my rooted phone will still function with proper network switching. I've seen some posts saying that all I would need to do is install the Fi app from Google Play, but nothing confirming that this worked.
I'm also unsure if I can run Lineage and still operate on the Fi network.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I fully understand that if something goes wrong, it's on me.
Thanks,
~ Phil
Experience Level: I'm pretty good with a PC but not so much with Android. I've had good luck just following the instructions I find here but I don't really know what I'm doing - yes, I get the gist of it but I don't understand the details.
i am on fi with root and everything having to with fi, including switching works, but i am on stock. i did not realize that unlocking on this phone can't be undone and in retrospect i may not have done it had i known that. updates become a pain to do. i also have google pay working. i think i read that none of the custom roms provide the full fi services. they all will work on fi network as any other unlocked phone would work on their service that is not sold as a google fi phone as far as i know.
