Cyanogenmod Project Fi - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using the Resurrection rom an my Nexus 6p, Fi activated and it says fi network, also data works. Does that mean project fi is using both towers as intended? I know project fi isn't supposed to work on cyanogenbased roms? or am I lucky and project Fi is working

I would like to know as well. I'm a big fan of RR and I will be activated my Project Fi sim either today or tomorrow.

I have made successful calls and text incoming/outgoing, I am going to continue using RR with Fi it seems to be fine, The only thing I am concerned about is if I'm only using sprint or only using T-mobile towers

Download SignalCheck Lite or FiSwitch, find out what network you're currently on, then force switch to the other carrier.

They both work fine so fi is good on cm for now I think RR is a go for flash

Great news! Hopefully, the Fi public WiFi vpn will work for you as well.

I am going to go to a public wifi hotspot tomorrow and try, Ill update the progress

I went to a place where a got FI VPN on stock all the time, didnt seem to work, I am going to try and find a workaround for it

Wow! This is the only reason I have kept 100% stock on mine. In the past, only T-Mobile would work on AOSP Rom's. Does wifi calling work? Does it auto switch, or you were only able to force switch it? If those things work, I might take the plunge. Thanks for being the guinea pig on this!

It should autoswitch, the only issue I have is when I try to enable the VPN In the google network settings it will crash and won't startup, other then that fi seems to be fine with me, apps tracking data and its all good, fi is such a great service

Anyone got AT&T hotspot auto login to work?

I have an AT&T SGS4 and their bloatware makes me sick but their feature that automatically logs you in to AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots is nice. Has anyone got that to work on a Nexus 7?
Would also like to get it to work on s Nexus 5 but that is for another day.
Thanks.

N7 LTE and calling. Yes😀

So I remember T-Mobile rolled out WiFi calling. I downloaded Google hangouts dialer and tried the calling feature.
First I connected through WiFi and ran the app and made a call to a ATT cell phone. And it worked. So then I turned off WiFi and turned on mobile data. Made another call to same ATT cell phone and boom! N7 T-Mobile walking talking phone.
I'm stock rooted, google hangouts dialer. I don't know if this works on ATT or Verizon because I stunt have a Sim. My call went over 'H'. I have no LTE connection in my room.
Anyone else want to confirm. But sweet

It should work regardless of carrier as long as you have access to the Internet.

I thought it wasn't supposed to, because Google locked it down. You couldn't do this before. I don't believe this worked until volte started to roll out. And with Google integrating this into hangouts

It started working when the dialer came out. Doesn't have anything to do with the rollout of volte on some carriers.

The dialer included with hangouts is just a way to connect to gvoice with voip, which has been possible for years with 3rd party clients such as Grooveip
All it does is simplify the process of setting up, the concept is the same.
Literally any device that can connect to the internet can do hangout calls in the same manner, as there's no carriers involved at all. As far as they're concerned it's merely data.
What they did do was disable the method some clients, such as grooveip, used to connect to gvoice.
But there are multiple methods, existing solutions such as obitalk can still connect to gvoice via voip.

Yes as long as you've integrated hangouts with Google voice.

Free wifi

Hey guys.
I got my N6P yesterday but I am having a problem with it.
There is free WiFi at work but when I try and connect to it I am not being directed to the log in page. I thought it may be an issue with chrome blocking it so tried Firefox but still couldn't log in.
There is no it support, as it is just a free open network.
Any body any ideas how I can get around this?
Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
No idea, I haven't had an issue. I use free WiFi all the time at my work. You sure it's not the wrong wifi spot and you are on the private WiFi instead?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Yeah pretty sure. I had my old phone with me too which connected as normal so I know it wasn't a problem with the WiFi.
Edit.. Just tried another free network and was directed to a login page. Maybe just a problem with the login at work. I need to take a trip to MacDonald's and Starbucks to test it more!

No Volte for another year

Just got off the phone with Sprint and their network vision team told me it will be the 1st quarter of 2017 before they start implementing Volte. I just don't know if I'm willing to wait that long and then be told they are not going to implement it because the other 3 carriers have moved on to bigger and better things. I've been with sprint about 10 years and this just seems to be the norm and I don't know about alot of the people on here but the norm is getting really old to me.

The solution I use so i can have internet and talk on the phone is using hangout and hangouts dialer great solution works great for me and it can hold you over till they bring volte.
I tried that but never could get all the settings right or something every time someone would call me while I was on a hangouts call it would kick me off

Nexus 6p Gold Edition on Sprint Network (Incoming Call Issue)

Hey guys,
Quick question. Has any SPRINT user been successful in activating and using the nexus 6p gold edition? I purchase one and was able to activate it just fine. However, I am unable to receive calls. I have tried everything and also went to a sprint store and they can't seem to get it to work either. I have tried multiple SIM cards with same issue. I recently purchased a 64GB silver edition and it works just fine. So I am curious to see if anyone else has been able to get the GOLD edition to work properly?
Thank you
I do not have the issue nor do I have the gold model but I'd update Prl and reboot and see if it still does it. If so I'd try flashing factory image via fastboot.

Thank you for your help. I have updated the PRL with no success. Also, I have re-flashed the stock 6.0.1 Build MMB29Q with no luck.
I loaded CM13 and the phone actually seemed to operate a little better. I received calls at first but about 1 hour later i stopped receiving calls.
One thing I should add...If I put the phone in 3g mode (turning LTE off) while running the stock 6.0.1 rom I receive calls just fine. It is only when I am connected to LTE that I do not receive calls. I can make calls, browse the web, and send text just fine.

There were people on Nexus 6 who experienced this same exact thing a few months ago. That's the device I owned prior to 6p. I never had the issue but I recall some people over on the Sprint Nexus 6 thread talking about this same thing. I'd check there for sure.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Yeah.
It's very aggravating. I've tried everything I can think of. I purchased another nexus 6p silver which works fine but the screen has a terrible pinkish hue at the top right corner. The gold edition screen is almost perfect. I was hoping I could fix the gold edition.

Like the other guy stated I have the N6 which was on Sprint but immediately after switching to Fi and using the ROM that was initially just for Fi I have never had the problem again with the same phone. I am now using the latest ROM which is independent of carrier and still problem free.
