N6 T-mobile Great on Verizon

Hey guys, to all who are wondering... T-Mobile stores do have some stock of the blue Nexus 6 32gb today, didn't have an issue getting mine. I do have an account with a single line on T-Mobile that I do not use, so I used that account and paid for device in full ($650). Out of the box, it works great on Verizon. Voice quality is much better than Droid Turbo and iPhone 6+. Data speeds are strong (75mbps down & 30up) on LTE.
All I had to do to activate on Verizon was either let device self activate with Verizon SIM that takes about 5 minutes, or by going into Settings - More - Cellular and toggling Global mode.
The reason I made this thread is incase somebody who is like me and got tired of waiting for Google and Moto to have stock and wanted to purchase it via T-Mobile and use on another carrier. My friend works in a retail store and he said that even if you do not have an account with them, you can still buy you at full cost.

Does that mean its sim unlock?

Yes, it works too.

can you try terthering?

if this works i think i will ask one of my boys who has t mobile to get me a phone out right.. i want the 64gb version tho..

My question is. Will Verizon whitelist the numbers from tmobile later down the line doh and block it from working on their towers. ?

Why would you do that? I have it set to LTE and it seems to keep onto an LTE signal longer compared to "Global" mode, which I would use if I was traveling overseas and inserted a local SIM into my device.

But wouldn't it lose signal if you leave lte coverage and drop to 3g? Since Verizon is CDMA.

No. Even my current moto x is in global and it switches between LTE and 3g just fine

Wait but you just said that yours is in Global and switches just fine. Would it switch fine while on LTE?

I changed mine to LTE, using this way for 2 days, swiched to CDMA couple of times.. mine is a Moto store N6

Does hotspot work or is it blocked like AT&T?

Sorry, I don't have an ATT Sim. I only tried it for a few minutes when my friend was here to ensure that the device worked.

I have a t-mobile nexus 6 with a Verizon SIM. Hotspot works on Verizon if you switch the cellular mode to LTE. It didn't work for me when in global mode which was the default out if the box.

Does it do voice and data at the same time on verizon?

No. Same radio as iPhone 6. Unfortunately we lose this until VoLTE is a more adopted thing.

Just tested it and I cannot get simultaneous voice and data over a cellular connection on Verizon with the Nexus 6.

God I love you right now lol, I am sick of the play store **** so I am probably just going to buy mine on prepaid online tommorow and have it shipped.

HTC U11 AT&T support and collection

this is going to be an AT&T specific collection thread for this carrier specific stuff like VVM and try to make wifi calling work, also users can ask any questions related to AT&T and I will try to answer them and hopefully other users can help to.
HTC lying about AT&T "compatibility"
U11 does not support VoLTE on AT&T
U11 does not support WiFi-Calling on AT&T
U11 does not support Video Call on AT&T
U11 does not support Integrated Visual Voicemail on messages app like it use to on HTC One M7, M8 & M9, you need the stand alone app which is crap...
the phone works for calls data LTE works MMS haven't test yet I don't use them....

Any comment from AT&T on any of this? We know HTC's saying it works.

Haha, AT&T never comments on these things.. and it won't work.. I have and unlocked GS8 and it don't work there either.. so no way in #[email protected] it will work on HTC..

Argh... This sucks. I'm in an area where coverage quality has dropped significantly, and I spend a lot of time in a building where almost no signal gets through from any provider. Wifi calling and texting has become a lot more important for me for that reason. I can get by without the extra features, but it's tough now what I've had them (currently using an S7 edge and Note 5).I guess that leaves me with no option but Samsung or LG (and all of the provider bloatware).

Don't activate the U11 on AT&T, once their computer "knows" you have an uncertified device you lose LTE data and are forced onto HSPA+!
Does anyone know an APN setting that will reactivate LTE?

Weird. Your icons are not same as mine. Are you 4G (HSPA+) or 4G LTE? My APN settings don't have a field for APN protocol

I am using a custom rom that's all...

no band 30 guys. http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-u11/

Not a fair critisim for HTC. Even if the phone is capable like my non-AT&T S8, if the phone does not have the AT&T logo on it they will not allow these features. So complain about AT&T like I do.

I'm on at&t and I'm getting full LTE with zero issues.

See if you still have LTE during a call. The LTE icon should go away and if you go into about phone and then network, it'll most likely say HSPA. The problem is we're not getting services like VoLTE and wifi calling. In normal cases, HSPA speeds should be manageable considering the average phone call won't be very long and there's wifi nearly everywhere now. This is just bad for those in areas with poor reception. I've been doing ok with the whole issue since I never really noticed much of a difference with HD voice and I'm usually always somewhere with wifi.
My question is what did they do differently with the U11 than the 10. We never had any of these issues with the 10 being unlocked and not certified and all that bs

The importance for me & probably for many others on getting VoLTE is that I do technical support on my phone and trouble shooting while on a call takes to much time most of the time, that being said if I don't have the option to make phone calls on VoLTE means internet speeds while on a call is crap.... I really don't care about HD call clarity as far as I can here the other person, but the internet speed while on a call it is important to me the faster I can browse the faster I can provide technical support

Having a weird issue with my U11 on AT&T. I randomly lose all signal for no reason then takes a good 30 seconds for it to connect again.
It has happened at least a couple times a week mid phone call which is really obnoxious. I have seen it happen a few times when I am just browsing through my phone not on a call so I know its not just a calling issue, and I am sure it has happened multiple times when I am not looking at my phone at all and I don't notice.
Anyone else had this issue? An issue with AT&T and can be fixed by a firmware update? Or am I alone and need to RMA?

I know this thread is old, but can't we use the ATT RUU if you do what you need to do? We used to be able to go back and forth, at least that's what I did with both my M7 and M8. If you really need those features, that's what I would do.

VoLTE working on AT&T!

Voice over LTE on AT&T is working on this device! I don't understand how.... Even the pixel didn't work because of AT&T's restrictions. The option is there and I can confirm it works on the Essential PH-1!

Is it actually working or do you just have the toggle on? I can toggle it all day long but it doesn't actually enable it.

I've never had a phone that was WiFi calling compatible on AT&T so I'm not 100% sure but it seems to be working. Under sim status it says WLAN instead of LTE.

Actually mine does the same thing. I never paid attention to see if it switched to HSPA when I made a call. Is there somewhere on your AT&T account that you have to add that feature too? I'm fairly new to AT&T so I wasn't sure. I know on Verizon you have to add that feature.

Neither wifi calling nor VoLTE is working on any carrier. When you place a call, it will fall back to 3G. The only way to stay LTE is to use Hangouts or an app similar

This is incorrect. it works on AT&T.

VoLTE on ATT working fine for me as well. Shows LTE+ while I'm on the phone.

I've been using the same SIM for a few years, it was in a Pixel XL previous, but I switched the IMEI to a Galaxy S7 Active IMEI I had in order to get VoLTE to work.

I have Premier and I manage our company plan, so I have the ability to switch online. You used to be able to do it online on regular accounts, but not sure now. Worst case, you call CS with an IMEI for an S7, S8 and have them switch it. Then put the SIM in the essential phone. You don't need the physical S7 or S8 device at all.

lpasq said:

SIM from my S8. Just swapped it over and things are working fine.

PLease send screenshots of LTE+ while on a call. The IMEI's for Essential products are not recognized on the AT&T network. You will get LTE+ while on a call which is easily faked with most Android phones by the manufacturer, but when you goto use the internet with the wifi radio off, it will fallback. My brother is an engineer @ AT&T, and i've confirmed this to be the case. All but AT&T branded phones will work, and a handful of off brands by those same manufacturers.

See attached. On a call and playing a youtube video at the same time while showing LTE+ in the bar and no wifi indicator. I will also say that the speed was certainly at an lte level.

Now that is interesting. In your mobile settings, what do you have set for the protocol selection?

so it seems the trick is to use an imei that is part of their inventory?

i have volte on Att

Dont know if this is known. When I tried this originally my phone showed up as h+ during all phone calls. It now shows lte+ and the has picked up speed browsing while on phone calls. So ymmv

Yea, no voLTE for me on ATT

Idk why volte matters but it is available on TMobile you just have to enable it manually.

Better call quality and better voice coverage if it's an area where ATT doesn't have HSPA on 850Mhz or an LTE only site..... Just tried on mine, still HSPA for voice.

Can't turn on internet on Vodafone 4g

Before the August patch, I was only getting 3G on Vodafone even with sufficient balance and in a strong network area , there was no way of getting 4G but after the August patch , I can't even turn it on. The sim is working fine on other phones with good 4G speed but not on my device.

I have no advice other than check your APN settings.
