Google Nexus 6 by Motorola (Was "Nexus X talk leaked?")

CCA/RRPP compliant devices use CSIM's.

 

While quickly researching what a CSIM is, I stumbled across this: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1644014 

 

Does anyone know if this is true and if it'll also apply to the Nexus 6? It seems really ridiculous that they'd domestic lock the phone permanently and internationally lock it by default if you bought it full price.

The Nexus 5 was completely unlocked, domestically and internationally. Until told otherwise I am assuming the same of the Nexus 6.

Somebody prod one of these reviewers into punching in ##DEBUG# and posting a screenshot.

Not sure if it's been mentioned earlier, but Nexus 6 isn't a Cat 6 UE capable of 300Mbps.

 

It's Cat 4 capable of 150Mbps, using Qualcomm's "Fusion 4" solution, leveraging APQ8084 + MDM9625. I was hoping that it's going to be a Cat 6, which would really benefit Sprint's subscribers more than anyone else, assuming that Sprint fulfills their promise, and actually launches 20+20MHz TDD LTE Carrier Aggregation markets this year..

We have not published it yet, but you are aware that the Sprint variant Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is the first Category 6, band 41 carrier aggregation capable handset.

That is absolutely wonderful news for Sprint subs! I have a feeling Note Edge is going to sell really well.

 

I was under the impression that all Snapdragon 805 devices should naturally be paired with MDM9635, but I was wrong. Perhaps, I was deceived with early Note 4/LG G3 tech reviews of Korean variant, and iFixit teardown. US variants are definitely not loaded with MDM9635.

 

Qualcomm has internal codenames for their Snapdragon 805 + modem solutions:

- Fusion 4   = APQ8085 + MDM9x25

- Fusion 4.5 = APQ8085 + MDM9x35

Fusion 4.5 has been mainly used for Korean variants so far, and it looks like Galaxy Note Edge will be the first 300Mbps capable US variant.

I don't have the case yet. It will be released on Monday from a seller on Amazon.

 

Here is a link in-case you want to check it out. It should ship to me on Monday. I've been using the same case on my LG G3 and really like it.

I already have ordered this case since I have one on my Nexus 5 that has protected me from drops, and is super slim for factor with a belt clip that adds extra protection from drops as well.

It seems like the Nexus 6 will only be back on the GPlay store site after carrier's launch it. This may or may not diminish the reason to buy a Nexus device. Carriers add their own software spin, and it may not be able to be used on other carriers. I like having the Nexus 5 because of fast updates, and the fact that I have a Tmobile Sim should I ever want to use it, or even an AT&T Sims which would never happen, but I at least had those options.

 

Will a play store Nexus be able to be used on all Us carriers including Verizon, and would a carrier Nexus 6 be locked to carriers as when launched back in the old Galaxy Nexus lines?

 

I believe that the success of G Play activation's by carrier subscribers made the carriers pressure Google to raise the price, because the Play store sold 32gig Nexus 5 for the price that the carriers sold 16 gb versions, and they now want to get a piece of the pie.

I don't believe carrier's can add their own software spin to nexus devices. It goes against what the nexus program is all about pure android and android development. It would not be pure anymore if carriers put in their own bloatware.

 

There is a big difference between carrier branded devices and devices sold by carriers.

Isn't it true that Nexus 5 phones bought on Tmobile won't work on Sprint?

That was more of a problem related with logistics than software.

 

From what I recall nexus 5's purchased from T-Mobile IMEI/MEID numbers were missing from Sprint's database.

I grabbed two 32gb blues on the 29th, i was looking for a white 64gb but i didnt was able to buy it. I hope google sent them soon, it would be a slap in the face to everyone that tried to buy or actually buy them on playstore if the carriers have them on the 12th before the play order are shipped. Mine said to be shipped on nov. 21.

The T-Mobile purchased Nexus 5s were "un-included."

 

:P

nexus 6 page updated;

 

 

 

 

We are getting more Nexus 6 devices in stock as soon as possible. To make things simpler for you, we will work to make more devices available each Wednesday and encourage you to visit the site then. 

The Nexus 6 will also be available in AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and U.S. Cellular stores later in November. Please check with your local carrier store for more information.

    • Historically, T-Mobile has been the only carrier contracting with Crown Castle Solutions, at least in Brooklyn. I did a quick count of the ~35 nodes currently marked as "installed" and everything mapped appears to be T-Mobile. However, they have a macro sector pointed directly at this site and seem to continue relying on the older-style DAS nodes. Additionally, there's another Crown Castle Solutions node approved for construction just around the corner, well within range of their macro. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Verizon using a new vendor for their mmWave build, especially since the macro site directly behind this node lacks mmWave/CBRS deployment (limited to LTE plus C-Band). However, opting for a multi-carrier solution here seems unlikely unless another carrier has actually joined the build. This node is equidistant (about five blocks) between two AT&T macro sites, and there are no oDAS nodes deployed nearby. Although I'm not currently mapping AT&T, based on CellMapper, it appears to be right on cell edge for both sites. Regardless, it appears that whoever is deploying is planning for a significant build. There are eight Crown Castle Solutions nodes approved for construction in a 12-block by 2-block area.
    • Starlink (1900mhz) for T-Mobile, AST SpaceMobile (700mhz and 850mhz) for AT&T, GlobalStar (unknown frequency) for Apple, Iridium (unknown frequency) for Samsung, and AST SpaceMobile (850mhz) for Verizon only work on frequency bands the carrier has licensed nationwide.  These systems broadcast and listen on multiple frequencies at the same time in areas much wider than normal cellular market license areas.  They would struggle with only broadcasting certain frequencies only in certain markets so instead they require a nationwide license.  With the antennas that are included on the satellites, they have range of cellular band frequencies they support and can have different frequencies with different providers in each supported country.  The cellular bands in use are typically 5mhz x 5mhz bands (37.5mbps total for the entire cell) or smaller so they do not have a lot of data bandwidth for the satellite band covering a very large plot of land with potentially millions of customers in a single large cellular satellite cell.  I have heard that each of Starlink's cells sharing that bandwidth will cover 75 or more miles. Satellite cellular connectivity will be set to the lowest priority connection just before SOS service on supported mobile devices and is made available nationwide in supported countries.  The mobile device rules pushed by the provider decide when and where the device is allowed to connect to the satellite service and what services can be provided over that connection.  The satellite has a weak receiving antenna and is moving very quickly so any significant obstructions above your mobile device antenna could cause it not to work.  All the cellular satellite services are starting with texting only and some of them like Apple's solution only support a predefined set of text messages.  Eventually it is expected that a limited number of simultaneous voice calls (VoLTE) will run on these per satellite cell.  Any spare data will then be available as an extremely slow LTE data connection as it could potentially be shared by millions of people.  Satellite data from the way these are currently configured will likely never work well enough to use unless you are in a very remote location.
    • T-Mobile owns the PCS G-block across the contiguous U.S. so they can just use that spectrum to broadcast direct to cell. Ideally your phone would only connect to it in areas where there isn't any terrestrial service available.
    • So how does this whole direct to satellite thing fit in with the way it works now? Carriers spend billions for licenses for specific areas. So now T-Mobile can offer service direct to customers without having a Terrestrial license first?
