My Nexus 5X arrived yesterday and I activated it online easily enough using the MEID (HEX) from the box and the 4FF v5 UICC (SIM) I got from Sprint Worldwide Support last week. A few observations: It's a lot more manageable size-wise than the old Nexus 6. Honestly I don't miss the screen real estate, and I have pretty big hands. The screen feels like a bit of a step back to the OG Nexus 5. I guess AMOLED has grown on me a bit. I haven't noticed much if any signal dropoff relative to the Nexus 6. My area only has bands 25 and 26 active, so I haven't been able to test band 41. 1x 800 also works fine. The debug and data screens are accessible from SignalCheck Pro. There seems to be an "LTE Roaming" setting that's new from the OG Nexuses, as well as the carrier aggregation setting. Band 12, however, does not show up as a toggle. Opening some of the settings even in view mode leads to a force stop. The "Nexus 6 Marshmallow bug" in SCP is also present on the Nexus 5X. Might be an issue with the new permissions system and how the cell info API interacts with devices that don't declare support for API 23. I've only used third-party USB C cables so far; for the most part they've been easy to use, but the short Micro-B USB female to USB C male adapter I got from Amazon doesn't pass through the higher-speed charging signals to any of my chargers. (The speed-of-charging indication on the lock screen is helpful. Google really needs to put this on the battery screen in settings too.) The USB A to USB C cables on the other hand seem to mostly do better. Already survived one drop in a case without any damage (or rattles).

Since my 5X showed up today, I moved my Nexus 6 over to Project Fi and ported my old T-Mobile prepaid number over. Interestingly, Fi seems to park on Sprint rather than T-Mobile here in Macon. Haven't had the chance to play with it much more yet.

If anyone still cares, I've updated the app for Android 6.0 including a permissions prompt. Otherwise no big changes since the last release, I think, except moving the layer settings into preferences so they stick between launches. Same link as before (hopefully)... https://www.dropbox.com/s/isejck79hskqqcl/SigDet2.apk?dl=0

I moved over to Open World since I don't plan on traveling outside of the Americas anytime soon; for short trips to Mexico and Canada, 1 GB LTE and unlimited calling is plenty as long as you don't do anything dumb like stream video (which you probably won't have access to do anyway). If I were going to Europe, I'd either get a prepaid SIM or go back to Global Roaming since unless you're in an Open World unlimited country (i.e. in the Americas), GR is a better deal because of the free 2G usage.
