Nexus 6: First Full Day

[pc747]

Nexus 6 root takes it back to the old droid days, which I like, one you unlock the bootloader and flash twrp, install the SuperSU. Zip file and that is it. You can find it on XDA. Also the same SuperSU file that roots the nexus 6 also root the nexus 5, nexus 7, nexus 9, nexus 10, and nexus player.

Can't wait for my white 64 GB to arrive "unlocked Google version, not the Verizon one", will also use a SIM tool cutter to shrink my micro SIM to a nano SIM. My question is should I do all my app installations and email accounts over wifi, then install the SIM to the phone.

Used Tap & Go to transfer apps and accounts over wifi. Then went to Verizon store and picked up a nano Sim card, called customer service and had them activate it for my S4. Once activated, put it in my Nexus 6, turned it on and haven't looked back since. Still loving it.

I will use the same SIM that I have now, will shrink it from micro to nano with my SIM cutting tool.

I know this thread is a tad old but...I NOW HAVE A NEXUS 6!!! But on AT&T. So far, I'm loving it and this is from a guy who never owned a Nexus phone before. Haven't had any battery concerns yet and the only thing annoying me is the constant Wi-fi issues where it for some reason loads a blank network page. Usually exiting and reentering Settings fixes that. All-in-all, solid device and I think I'll thoroughly enjoy it.

Congrats on the Nexus 6. This was my first nexus also, though I'm with Verizon, I purchased it from Motorola. Over a month and a half in, it was the prefect choice.

Mine will look exactly like this one, same skin and case, can't wait.

Very cool!!

I use a clear Cimo Wave case, mainly because I like the TPU feel and I wanted the minimal form factor.

@bkdodger , which slickwrap?
I had the football leather and loved it but it was thick and as a result I could not find a case that protected it properly. It caused the rubber on my UAG case to tear. I eventually decided to remove it and go naked with a clear rearth fusion shock case.

I went with Silver carbon and one Wood.. Going to install carbon first one.. Should be thin enough as video above

Just received my sweet white 64 GB Nexus 6, man this beast is fast and smooth, I loaded all my apps over Wi-Fi no problems, then I installed my Verizon Sim card no problems. When I initially booted up the device it was on 5.0, it updated to 5.0.1 while still on Wi-Fi, then after I installed the Verizon Sim card it says there was an update for 5.1, I accepted and it started the download process, again over Wi-Fi after it finished it said it would reboot "which never happened ”, I manually rebooted and it is still stuck on 5.0.1, when I check for new updates the system tells me I have the most recent which is still 5.0.1, what gives and why did it not update to 5.1, I have the US unlocked version.

 

[bkdodger]

Hmmm.. Try power off device.. Remove sim.. Wait a few then reinsert and boot up.. Just maybe it got interrupted when you reboot on your own..

I think this is the problem, it's called friggin Verizon, no wonder they took their sweet time to receive the device, I thought the nexus 6 was unlocked and you should have no issues using it with any US carrier, apparently Verizon thinks otherwise, also foxfi does not work either.
Non Verizon device ”really Verizon ”, it's a Nexus.

Hey edited for forum.. But don't stress the non Verizon phone is normal bc it's for any phone bought not Verizon.. Each carrier has their own check.. Just like AT&T... Foxfi I believe was stated it didn't work.. I'd go the root way so you can edit build prop..
