So far today I can't access anything that requires a password. I don't know what the problem is

As soon as they open more phones to it, I'm probably going to jump on it since I'm on TMOB now anyway. Why not add the Sprint towers

I love answering calls and texts on my PC, never having to use my phone. Amazing integration there.
is that on Hangouts? I couldn't get the settings to a likeable version for me to use it on my laptop.

Great so far. Reception and coverage haven't skipped a beat since leaving at&t.

Had one hiccup recently with my phone running up 1gb of data 2 days in a row, something weird happened with the Google Play Services background app running out of control. But I called and they credited me the 2gb + 1 more GB just cause, great customer service

If you keep a check on the app you can see data usage

Switched from AT&T back in July, and haven't regretted the decision at all. I'm in Birmingham and T-Mobile and Sprint aren't as developed here, especially LTE. I'm on 3G signal a lot around town, but it hasn't really bothered me. I've noticed as well that the T-mobile and Sprint LTE signals aren't as strong as AT&T's and don't penetrate into buildings as well. Again, not really an issue for me. But I'd say if you work in the interior of a building and don't have Wifi access, it may not work for you.

For an example. At my office, I'll have LTE signal in the parking lot. But once inside it's on 3G signal, and my office is a corner office with two windows, so it's only having to penetrate one wall. I get no signal in the interior of the building. But there's Wifi here so it's not really an issue. And my office is in a densely populated area of town, so the signal should be better than it is. Don't have this problem at my house.

Jivey26 has Google FI and he raved about it, he goes overseas for several months out of the year (military) and loved it. Tried selling me on it before the plan became available. I wish I had bought in but 11 months on my AT&T contract left I decided to wait.

I seem to have issues when I go from wifi to tower. You have to close out and start over. My passwords aren't working on my bank account and other things. So now I can't check my account balance.

I left Fi about a month ago. I hated the spotty service when on the road and even some areas of dfw. I also hated watching my data when I stream music a lot when I run, workout, and on the road. It just wasn't the plan for me.


see I was already paying for google music.. so being able to download the music on my phone was already happening, even the "radio" stations you can buffer up to like 25 songs... it's phenomenal. So far I've used:

400MB
800MB
650MB

during the 3 months I've had it: the service is slightly better than Verizon, and I save $90!!! Yes Please (was on a family plan, switch my wife and me off and onto PF)

I would recommend calling the Fi support then. It should not be giving you those problems. Also, I do not think Fi should have an affect on your passwords for your bank account. The Fi support is amazing and will do everything they can to help you out. You can access the support straight from the mobile app for Fi or on their website.

great customer service


After reading your post the other day I tried to milk them for some accessories. I recalled there was someone who said they got their 6P last year with a gift bag that had a few things in it (earphones, case etc).
So I emailed them and they told them people received their with bags of goodies and I didn't get anything, so the rep asked me what was in the bag. So I searched this board for when I read this comment to see what the poster had received, but could not find the post .
I thought it was in the original nexus 6P thread but there was nothing there. Guess it was either another thread or another phone. OOPS!
