No, it uses PIN/Pattern as an alternative method - or when you reboot the device.

It does support 800mhz.

Not over 4G it doesn't. That's why Three don't sell Nexus phones.

Oh well, it doesn't matter any more

I cancelled the order because Nexus devices don't support band 20 on Three for VoLTE Looks like I'll be getting an S6 after all.

you will need to buy the handset from 3 though or be a 3 used handset, as they haven't enabled band 20 on non three handsets yet and probably wont for a while

No such thing on a C to C cable. Its a plain cable no resistors.

Ah my bad, apologies.

WTF. So in order to get VoLTE working on an S6 I have to pay £120 more to buy it from Three instead of Amazon? That is some serious BS.

I'm surprised then that VoLTE appears to work on my iPhone 6 that I bought directly from Apple. I get the option for VoLTE in Settings so I presume that means it's working. (EDIT: This article confirms that any iPhone will work on Three's VoLTE network)

You can always flash the Three ROM onto the S6 it will work then.

I'm starting to fall out with my N6P.

I cannot quite put my finger on what it is.....

All the things that are so readly at hand on my Note 4 & Note 5, seam to be a hidden or more steps than I desire to take to get to.

I know the idea with a Nexus Device is to tinker but when things become a toil that's it becomes boring to use.

I'm not saying the Nexus 6P is rubbish or the Note's are better.

It's just how I am starting to feel when I use it.

Probably just me.....

Swarfega · 9 Dec 2015 at 15:48

Anyone picked up a spare charger for their 6P yet? I need one for work, charging from an A to C cable is just far too slow now.

Unsure about the s6 but this does not work on g4 when flashing a three rom on it

Have a look here bottom of the page, http://blog.three.co.uk/2015/04/23/volte-comes-to-three/

They may well do it based on IMEI number so they know they supplied the phone.

2x A to C cables for £4.99 here that I have tested as compliant with the CheckR app. See the first review with a photo of my Nexus 6P showing its compliant.

Or get 4 Orzly for £10. They do feel quality.

not sure cos there is a way around it, you have to root the g4 and then put the 3 ROM on it and make a small tweak.

shame really!

Send it to me for Christmas and go back to your note mate... Everyone is a winner

can you explain the issue? if you set a pin/pattern, you don't have to use it. you can then just use the fingerprint as though that's the only thing and it'll unlock the screen, even from off. what's the issue with this? the pin is only there as a back up should it not be able to read your finger, e.g. today i had gloves on.

the pattern is there for backup, if the FP fails.
