Is Fi connecting to both TMobile and Sprint?

This is the important question. Your Fi sim will work on one network in most devices. Will it actively switch networks is the real issue.

Checking right now
how do you check that exactly
I was able to get to register on the Sprint with Fi spy after a reboot
Do a battery test!
I have a Project Fi invite, could I order a SIM card right now, pop it in my Moto X Pure, and have it all ready to go? Or do I need to do it like the Nexus 5 workaround where the SIM card has to be activated from a Nexus 6?
Please keep us updated on the network functionality OP, I've never heard of Project Fi until now but it looks like a good alternative to Ting. Depends on usage, but you'd have to be pretty miserly to save more with Ting, so I'm impressed.

This sounds really promising! I posted this question here and happy to see it works.
Now can you confirm it switches between TMO and Sprint? My new Nexus 6 arrives today but I might not open the package while I stand on the sidelines to see what the results are.

You may want to open it to activate the fi sim. New fi sims won't activate on any other phones as far as I know.

OK.. SO I have my Fi sim in but how do I check what network I'm on? How do I know it's auto switching? I read in another post that's not possible without a Nexus 6.
Install Signal Check (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blueline.signalchecklite) it will show what networks you are connected to
Also I can't pull up sprint as a provider on the Moto X but can on the Nexus 6.

Nope. So far the only thing I get is T Mobile as a carrier and no wifi calling. Kinda sucks. I hope a ROM or workaround comes out soon. Otherwise this is going back

Hi,
I got my Nexus 5 from a 3rd party Sprint Dealer, known as Wirefly.com -- Is anyone having problems accessing 4G LTE from Sprint? I am in the 100% best coverage zones according to Sprint.
I have done heaps of troubleshooting steps with Sprint, to no avail. They are blaming it on a faulty phone.
Anyone else having this issue?
Its been happening since I received the phone on Dec 4th.
Thank you

Wirefly is currently out of stock, otherwise they said they would replace it. I am going to keep checking back with them everyday to get a new one. Any suggestions in the mean time? Sprint tech support has been hit or miss. I have been told that there is tower problems from Baltimore to Southern Virginia, then another tech support agent tells me no problems at all!
I do not know what to believe anymore or what to do!
Well i know i got perfect lte the first two weeks i had my phone, then almost three weeks without it, then now its back. I know its a sprint thing. Are you getting lte anywhere at all?

First, thank you for your replies. I am not too up to date with rooting and such, so I apologize for that in advance.
The most I can get is LTE with 1 bar. That has been when I am driving around.
I can see the tower from my Condo, and according to their coverage maps, I should be getting "LTE Best" at home and work.
Thank you again.

I switched from TMobile to Sprint (in-contract, so I had to pay to get out of TMobile) with the hopes of Sprint being better, but as of now, I have not seen that at all!
Im pretty sure it will get better when sprint rolls out spark (officially), and Google updates the radio again

Well I have every intention of still getting a new phone from Wirefly.
It was odd, did Wirefly send you the phone with the SIM (or whatever they call it ICCA?? card) inside of it already?
Any ETA on the rollout of that?
Yes the sim is already in your phone. And i don't blame you for wanting a new phone, best to rule out a bad phone

If you are on 4.4.2 then you need to root and flash a different modem or wait for google to send out an update.
Since you are getting lte but with a weak signal this is most likely the problem of course coverage maps are very vague and it may be that you are just too far from the tower.

Yeah, I am only able to get 3G with 2-3 bars at a time. Like I said, if I drive around, I will barely get LTE, maybe 1 bar.
How good is the signal strength?
Anyone know of an ETA on when Google will push out a new update?

Pretty good. -91dBm from here in my bedroom. You can force lte via dialer codes such as "*#*#4636#*#*" but you will not be able to receive calls or texts.

Unlike my N4 I was wondering if the N7 has the option to be on a call and still be able to use data simultaneously... That was the biggest bummer for me with the Note 4.
I wanna upgrade to the N7 but it is a feature that is actually very useful, for when you are on a call and need to send a file or look something up on the internet..
thanks!

Nope. Sprint will not have this ability until it upgrades it's network to VoLTE. Probably in a few years, as there is not any sort of hint they are beginning to upgrade their towers.

I remember when I had my htc Evo 4g LTE and it did work..

I believe it worked on WiMAX but when Sprint abandoned that and moved to LTE, that functionality disappeared. Beezar is right. Sprint won't have it again for a while.

Bluefox is right, sprint phones only have one antenna that the voice and data share. I've looking into this, and that's what I was told.
I own Verizon Pixel, but I use it on T-Mobile. Maybe someone who knows can comment if my device will get that new build(NHG47K) or this is strictly for users that use Verizon sim.

A couple of things that may help you out on the VoLTE option, including bringing back HD Voice calling and Video Calling. Same thing happened to me on the new build. I went into the the *#*#4636#*#* Phone information menu and ensured that VoLTE Provisioned and other options are turned on. For me I need to decline the HD feature and re-enable...for you probably a call to Verizon. Takes just a few moment to do and didnt have to reboot. Viola' HD Voice and Video Calling were back. Good luck

The only difference between N2G47J and NHG47K is the radio image (modem.img). NHG47K has a newer radio.
Sounds bout right
The K update has done nothing for the weak cell signal. Time will tell if it does anything about dropped and missed calls.

I never had such problems even with old firmware versions. I know that some people have them, but it looks like these issues are location dependent, so I wouldn't expect updates to fix it.
I contacted Essential support and asked if the phone would support WiFi calling. They responded yes but to contact the carrier to make sure. I am currently on Verizon so I contacted Verizon and they said yes it did support WiFi calling. I was a bit skeptical but I had the agent verify the phone model number. Hopefully this is accurate. I finalized my pre-order right after.
I would take this for what its worth until we have the device in our hands and can make sure. I just thought I would share.

Verizon
Thank you for contacting the Verizon Wireless Chat Team regarding your device. How can we help you today?
You
I am thinking of buying the new Essential phone. I was wondering if it will support WiFi-Calling on Verizon
You
https://www.essential.com/
Verizon
That is a great question I will be glad to look into that for you today
You
It says it will support Verizon. I would like to know if it supports the WiFi Calling on Verizon. My signal is very poor at my house and work.
Verizon
Understood let me double check on the WiFi calling feature
You
thank you
Verizon
My pleasure
Verizon
I do see here that WiFi calling is supported so you will perfectly fine to utilize that feature with Verizon
You
WiFi Calling is supported on the Essential Phone? What else does it say about the Essential phone?
Verizon
I can only view tech reports so I do see that the WiFi calling is supported any other questions I would need them to be specif so that I can search
You
I am just trying to make sure we are talking about the same device.
You
I see the model listed as: Essential PH-1
You
is that the same thing you have?
Verizon
While following the link this is the newest unlocked android the device screen is pretty big yes this is the PH-1
You
ok.. Sounds good.. Thanks for your help.
Verizon
No problem at all, was there anything else that I could assist you with today?
You
Nope. All set.. Have a good one.
Wifi calling
Thank you for posting that...I was looking into this myself and emailed essential, and have not recieved a response yet. Now the question is... Yet this phone, or wait for pixel 2

I don't know how anyone could have an accurate spec sheet comparison for a phone that has not been officially announced yet. It would just be speculation and leaks, which are often wrong.
That aside, I think if one is inclined to compare this phone to the Pixel 2 (as I am), why not just wait? It will be announced soon and then you can make an actual comparison between the two phones. Also hopefully by then the other colors will be available (since I don't like the glossy black or white colors).
Unless you desparately need a new phone now, I don't see the harm in waiting.
Thanks for sharing, I'm on Verizon as well, and I just ordered my essential ph-1. Hope that rep is correct and not just blowing smoke, but at least now I can be optimistic!
So the word on the street from the first folks that got their phone is no WiFi calling for Verizon. If that is the case my phone will be going back.

Hopefully it gets certified soon. Only feature that doesn't work for me on Verizon is WiFi calling. I actually get a bar of LTE in my house so it is ok for now. My ribs iPhone gets no service just like my s8 and pixel. I'm actually shocked I get any service, nobody does where I live.
Visual voicemail won't work either.

I cannot get wifi calling or voicemail (either proper voicemail notification or visual voicemail to work) with Verizon. Everything else seems to work fine.
Does anyone know which default network we should use for Verizon to maximize signal and battery? I am in a fringe area so small differences in reception is a big deal.
Thanks in advance.
Time to replace my pixel 2xl and I was looking at the OP7 Pro. The only issue is that I use Google Fi and I depend on wifi calling when I'm at home. I can't seem to find any solid answers as to whether or not the OP7 Pro can do WiFi calling on Google Fi. Does anyone know for sure ? Looking to make my purchase today.
Thanks!
Looking for this answer as well
Thank you for asking this question, running into the same situation.
Also, would anyone be able to confirm if sprint or us cellular connections work? I know it won't change carriers automagically, but I have fi switch, so would like the option of switching if I could.
WiFi calling would be important to me too, since my area is almost entirely Verizon, so limited t-mobile and spring coverage (at least on the pixel xl)
I have a 7 Pro on Google Fi and at the top it says VoLte in the Fi app itself it ask if you want Wi Fi calling enabled .
My App shows Wi-Fi Calling enabled.
Hope this helps. Thanks
