What the crap 5.1 in Verizon N6? - Nexus 6 General

http://phandroid.com/2015/02/26/exclusive-verizon-nexus-6-march-12-android-5-1-volte-support/

Does voLTE require a hardware upgrade or is this potentially a feature that all n6s can enjoy?
-----------------------<SiG>-------------------
My house phone is better than your iPhone.

T-mobile is actually testing VoLTE on N6. I think it will be in the OS. Time will tell.

Band 12 volte and WiFi calling I hope but I'm more interested in performance and battery improvements

While that may or may not be accurate they at least have some good news. I won a Nexus 9 from them during the 20 days of giveaways in December so they aren't all bad.
As far as 5.1 goes if its out on VZW then it will be out on all Nexus 6's as far as I'm concerned. Whether or not google posts the ROM devs can likely extract the files and incorporate them into a ROM. Let's see what happens because I would like to use B12 and WiFi calling on T-Mobile. I know T-Mobile has to enable some things in their end for it to work but at least we would have the software here ready and waiting.

With all the issues the N6 has on Sprint I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon wants that fixed before releasing on their network. Maybe the texting and call issues are CDMA related rather than Sprint specific?

I've had my N6 on Verizon for months, and everything works perfectly.

Same, with the exception of the network extender. On the extender, no 3G data and the signal indicator goes wonky. It also tries very hard to connect to an outside tower rather than the extender...

Hope they fix the data icon and connections taking long to actually connect

Have Verizon actually got a n6 with 5.1 or is it just hearsay.

Hell, my wifi doesn't want to connect if I toggle it off, then back on later. Gotta do a reboot most times.

Some discussion at the thread above.
Edit: hit return too quick.
I don't recall seeing anything official from Verizon or Google that it will be 5.1. I think that's what everyone is guessing based on the features posted by Verizon for the phone, T-Mobile comments and that 5.1 has been spotted somewhere in the world on some handsets. I'm looking forward to it as I have a lot of problems with WiFi and Bluetooth which I hope this will clear up. Also, if rumors are true and we get wifi calling, band 12 (t-mobile customer) and VoLTE, all the better.

Will Google Edition take Touchwiz ROMs?

I'm definitely going to buy the Google Edition of S4.
I know they have the same hardware as the rest of the US Variants but I'm just wondering if Touchwiz STOCK rooted ROMs can be ported to the Google Edition.
I will be using AOSP/CM/AOKP ROM anyway but I just want to know just incase I want to test out TW.
Thanks
of course they can, and the other way around is also true, AOSP roms will be ported to TW versions of the phone
See the thing is. There are more devs who will work to port aosp onto the gs4. I can't say the same for devs working to port touchwiz onto google edition. It seems like everyone here tries to get rid of touchwiz
i haven't checked any roms lately, but if there are any existing TW roms, i'm pretty sure it'll be very easy to port them to the google edition since it's the same phone
No.
It will work but it won't work 100%

Truth. There's no "pretty much" about it in this case. It's the same phone. Shouldn't even require much porting, if any at all. Just look at all the tmo, sprint, and i9505 ROMs we've been flashing - no porting. No different here.

You guys have no clue if it's identical. They could change one tiny thing internally and mess it all up, which I could see them doing
What maybe different is most of the sensors maybe disabled like in the HTC GE version.

4G LTE
I just got a 4S I9505 and can't get LTE only H+.
(AT&T says it's because it's not AT&T branded)
I guess they'll try to add my IMEI to their data base in the next couple of weeks.
I wonder if the Google phones will have the same issue?
The info I've seen listed AT&T and T Mobile, so maybe not.

Yes, I've changed the APN settings.
Problem is AT&T doesn't recognize the new IMEI.
I put the SIM in a old Inspire (using a adapter).
When I logged into my account I could see my three lines and phones (2 Vivids & the Inspire).
But as soon as the SIM is back in the S 4 my account updates and the Inspire picture is replaced a general picture.
I have even tried to change the phone info on line. I selected Samsung but the i9505 isn't listed.
I'm thinking about using the IMEI from a broken vivid I have, but suspect it would be noticed.

This is one of the things with getting off network devices. Like my carrier only allows their devices to use the LTE network. Any IMEI in the network that is not theirs goes to get on LTE.
Also don't talk about changing your IMEI. It is Illegal.

One theory I saw floating around that might have some validity to it is that since Verizon just started to turn on AWS LTE, maybe in addition to the regular bug fixes that other carriers got, Verizon could also have greenlit Motorola to enable the AWS LTE band in the radio?

It opens up another set of frequencies for data flow. It doesn't mean you'll get more bars but more bandwidth. This can alleviate congestion issues and/or improve speeds.

I don't think there is a way for us VZW ppl to unroot without resetting. The only way i could find was to fastboot flash the stock recovery and system, but the VZW system image is a few MB too big to be pushed through fastboot.

Though I use a Maxx... fastboot works just fine... Use the fastboot from the fxz and it automatically enables Multi flash and it kinda breaks the file into smaller ones and flashes accordingly... It should work without affecting ur data, but try it at your own risk..

KitKat 4.4.4 Rollout

Looks like AT&T is not being the first to roll out the 4.4.4 update. I'm guessing it will be happening sooner than later.
Here is a list of the updates happening:
Android 4.4.4
HD voice Icon support
International Wi-Fi Calling support
Google Security Patches
Knox 2.0
Kids Mode
I got this from Samsung's website talking about Sprint:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?fm_seq=73981&faq_id=FAQ00057083
I also heard from rumors that they are planning to unlock our bootlooder. I wouldn't put to much weight in that though.
But, Knox 2.0? What is that?

Another thought is, since the new Note 4 is so close to the Note 3, as far as what we can do with it, I really don't see that much of a software update happening.
Think about it. Sammy's main goal is to make more $$ on the new hardware, so why invest more time andc $$ in an update?
Just a thought.

Supposedly they have to support us with updates and stuff for 18 months. The Note 3 has been out for almost a year, so we should still be getting 4.4.4 and L. I have a feeling they're going to skip 4.4.4 and go straight to L, which I will be avoiding at all costs.

AT&T/Samsung updates go in the direction of maximum corporate security, so unless you're the network admin for some company, probably not. (They want to turn your phone into the company's phone, so if you're not in the business of buying your employer a phone that they allow you minimal use of, Samsung is no longer the phone to buy.
Maybe if they lose enough business, they'll change their policy.

L= downfall of Android. Read up on it and you will see why. After the KitKat update fiasco earlier this year I've learned my lesson and plan to stay put on 4.4.2 until my Note 3 dies.
I'm thinking 4.4.4 sooner rather then later. I'm assuming several months before an "L" release.

This is what I'm going to go with. L is a long ways away for Samsung devices. Look how long 4.4.4 has been out and we still haven't seen it. I wish it was different and AT&T had speedy updates but sadly that's not the case.

I'm saying L= bad because I've read rumors about how Google will be incorporating Knox or something like it into the source code. It'll be locked down tighter than NC2 and may be the end of root and ROMs. Supposedly even the Nexus 5 guys had a hard time rooting the L developer preview.
I'll wait and see if the rumors about L are true before moving away from Android. There's no way I'd be caught dead with an iPhone and Windows phones don't appeal to me.
I'll see if I can get you some links after work.

How to flash COD modem

You can dowload the COD modem
On Mocsab’s thread found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...10tuvu1cod6-modem-stock-kernel-stock-t3094994
and flash it through odin
Here are some instructions:
Preface:
For what we are doing here you just want the modem.bin file.
1. Download the COD modem.bin file.
2. Open up odin and uncheck auto reboot.
3. Click on phone, select the modem.bin file, and press start.
4. When you finish the flash. Pull the battery and put it back in and power up.
PS.
I used odin 3.0.4, but this probably works with all versions of odin.
Might not be as important as before, but it was for my current setup.
I'm on Infamous BOC rom and 3.6 Bioshock kernel, but was still running ank modem.
Now I've got COD modem.
can we use the new modem with KK roms ?
Yes

Hehehehe! I know... Just a little joke Using it myself(new baseband). So far nothing different but as I mentioned in the other modem thread it might be better, worse, or not even noticeable. We shall see if there are any improvements or disadvantages over time. Just a little too soon to tell especially after just one phone call. I did a few tests myself with all radio related usages and everything works well like on MK7. I live and work near cell towers so I haven't seen anything noticeable yet. One thing good I can say for sure(past experiences since Windows Mobile 5) is sometimes call handoffs are improved with newer versions and sometimes the signal is faster to relay on the handset ui giving a more accurate signal display. Those are all things to look for. Now all we need is xposed running

Could check and see if wideband was added in your area recently. There are a few links around for checking what band is available in your area. Service mode and phone info app can do those. Sounds like a happy coincidence! I doubt a modem updates gonna double your speeds lol! Enjoy your tower upgrades. I've seen a few new towers around my town pull 60Mbps down but average for me is 30-40. Depends how far away you are as well. Maybe they added a repeater or new tower close by your work?
so when I put in the bin and hit start. Nothing happens? Anyone know why?

Custom roms and VolLTE and WiFi call

Hi,
How are you? Looks like we will need to load a custom rom in order to get updates.
Any problems with custom roms and VolLTE and wifi call?
regards,
Lineage 13 (not 14 yet) and Omni are the only two roms other than stock base that have TMobile Volte. Wifi calling only on stock base.

Theres really no need for wifi calling with Digits available now.

Agree since digits works better. Wifi calling often said unable to connect.
Personally I think the lack of Volte in all these custom roms is ridiculous. Seems like the forums are concentrating on IR and themes. Fix a basic phone issue first....this is a phone first is it not?

Yup, Volte is whats keeping me form buying the phone. Its at $250 on amazon. Thats a steal for the specs. This should be enough to hold me until next year when prices for the iphone 8, pixel 2 or note 8 would have drop a bit. I cant no longer justify paying $1000 for a phone when deals like this exist

The last post in lineage 14 thread says no VOLTE ( and no wifi calling).

Also don't see it in the changelogs.

EDIT: VoLTE works at least in RR and AICP has stated VoLTE will work in the next build. I just assumed they pulled the fix from Lineage.
Volt works on rr

How so? I haven't really looked at digits much. I thought it just let you share your phone number to other devices. Does it allow you to do wifi calling on a phone that doesn't have that ability built in?

I'm using lineage 13 and when I make a call the LTE icon either disappears or changes to something else (ex: 3G). Is there a setting I'm not finding or is it my modem firmware?
I know it's been a while, but.... Is VoLTE/VoWIFI working on LOS16 ROMs? I see an option in phone menu, but no indication that it's working. Is there a trick to enable it, such as hidden menu or something of the kind?
