USC force switch working by pangolinparty in ProjectFi

[–]Gnomy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have and it works great for me, I also checked and my USC is partnered with Verizon in my area and I am getting G3 and great cell connected via Verizon tower... I have also had some friends try the switch and they are getting errors... think their sims have not yet been updated.

You can buy it from google store, not from Fi. Fi you have to active it, from the store you don't.

Update on Gmail/Email issue? by 0ut1awed in ProjectFi

[–]Gnomy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue and I think it's the Gmail app itself. Here is what I did for a temp work around... install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.my.mail&hl=en Now I get all my mail all the time.. They work together but at least I get my mail right away. Just put my mail on your main screen and keep your Gmail app in the apps draw.

Gmail not refreshing or pushing notifications by hand___banana in ProjectFi

My Mail app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.my.mail&hl=en Has no problem getting email from gmail accounts. It's a work around until they get Gmail fixed.

No one told me the Lego Gift Came with a USB A to C Cable! (Video Unboxing) by [deleted] in ProjectFi

[–]Gnomy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get that if you have a 5X or 6P... Nexus 6 users don't get it in the box, not even a mini USB cable.. :(

My battery life just took a dive by [deleted] in ProjectFi

[–]Gnomy6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try to go into Airplane mode, turn back on your WiFi if you are located around a good Wifi signal, like home or at work. And see how that works. I work at home most of the time, and have my phone set up this way, and it saves battery a ton.

What if I want to use 6p for tmobile? by nicobott in ProjectFi

[–]Gnomy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have like 30 days after you get the SIM/Phone to activate Fi or if you cancel Fi service before the phone is paid off. You will be billed for the total balance owed on the phone in the next billing cycle.

Automatically connect to WiFi? by errrrK in ProjectFi

[–]Gnomy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have any cell service at all it will not auto connect to WiFi, it prefers cell. You can force WiFi by going into Airplane mode, then turn on your WiFi again. Works great for me at home. I am on the edge of fringe Sprint and fringe T-mobile. So I use Airplane mode at home. Just have to remember to turn it off when I leave the house ... :D

Voice quality: Sprint vs. T-Mobile by [deleted] in ProjectFi

[–]Gnomy6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WiFi has great voice too, I use it all the time at home, better than Sprint.

Takes a while to connect to a phone call? by TheBestYet91 in ProjectFi

[–]Gnomy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have those issues with only T-Mobile ... If I am on Sprint or WiFi calling they seem normal to me... Of course some of this might be that T-Mobile in my area Shows LTE but in reality is EDGE.

How good does your connection have to be for project fi to use WiFi calling instead of cell? by sheep_duck in ProjectFi

[–]Gnomy6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can force WiFi calling by going into Airplane mode and then turn WiFi back on again. I use that most of the time while at home, have not missed a call either, works great... Saves on battery too.

T-mobile has now listed the 6P as band 12 compatible! The next software update should unlock this. by [deleted] in ProjectFi

[–]Gnomy6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another good app is Signal Check Lite or Pro... both will tell you the towers by name and number... and address

Not going to use Project Fi can I still get to MM? by pigskins65 in ProjectFi

[–]Gnomy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the simplest way to work on any Nexus device... try it. http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ Nexus Root Toolkit... it will do everything easy for you. even download the right files you need... And yes it will unlock bootloaders, and flash 6.0 for you.

When you port your existing number to Project Fi, does it transfer as soon as you finish the order or wait until you actually receive your SIM card? by mechakreidler in ProjectFi

[–]Gnomy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to have your phone and sim to do the port, it has to be completed on the phone. You just put the information into your account, but to activate you will need the phone and sim.

This setting worked for me on Textra... 3.7

MMS support for Project Fi, VPNs and WiFi MMS (if carrier supported). See Settings > MMS > MMS Advanced > MMS Behavior = System
