I'm new to sprint (ting technically), how often do you need to update the prl? Seems there's a lot of concern about it but is it necessary to do frequently?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Appreciate the link. Hopefully Sprint will push us an update to fix asap. [emoji19]
[Nexus 6  General] :
It's only needed when the version number is updated. You could check every two to three weeks if you wanted. If you're experiencing connectivity problems, or data issues, you can check for an update and update your device config, but mostly you won't need to worry about it. Plus, I check everyday so if there is a PRL update available, I'll mention it here and update the OP with the new version number.
[Nexus 6  General] zanoli99:
can the codes in post 1 only be used on stock rom (one with sprint dsm). Trying them on aosp rom and dont work. Thanks much.
[Nexus 6  General] donfranko:
Well, I'm going to keep testing but this is positive...

I moved to the latest version of Chroma which is based on 5.1.1. When I downloaded it, I did so over my home WiFi and then flashed. Totally forgot that I had my WiFi still on after I went to bed last night and I received a phone call at home this morning before leaving for work. Something that NEVER happened when I was on my home WiFi before.

So, I got to work this morning, kept the phone on WiFi, and blasted 10 phone calls in a row to my cell from my desk. I got ALL of them. I'm still on the .95 Radio revision. As everyone who should be calling me, should be calling my office anyhow (and my calls push to my cell when I don't pick up), I'm going to continue leaving WiFi on and will further test.

I'll keep everyone posted on how it performs, but maybe there is something positive out of this ProjectFi announcement, and the release of 5.1.1, like I hypothesized.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Generally, yes the data reset code will only work on stock. Most of the others should be universal though.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
just curious if its my phone or others on sprint may have similar issue. over the past few days my cell standby has been very very high. i did not do anything but update prl and profile. maybe its the service in the area, but i tested it in 2 cities with same results. last night phone was 100% charged and with 8 hrs of not use, the cell standby was 75% without signal. so, is anyone besides me seeing higher cell standby usage and more time without signal? I honestly do not see any difference in reception and the service to me seems to be on all the time. i did the *#*#727286#*#* and it didnt help.

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Sounds high. But the stock battery readout cooked into the system is beyond worthles for troubleshooting battery drain issues.

Use BetterBatteryStats.

I got my device well optimized and did 0.7%/hour battery drain in screen off last night over the 9-10 hours I was out...in poor reception (-105dB signal strength)
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
BBS is not showing anything unusual yet. the phone went from 100-98% over that time.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Damn, 0.25%/hour screen off is really good. Not anything to worry about.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
im not worried about that, im concerned as to why 75% of that time phone shows i had no signal.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I've had this issue on a few aosp roms and also CleanCore rom where signal bars didn't show the true signal. Been on AICP for a week and displays true signal bars in status bar..

If it's not rom related and you really have no signal its Sprint. The other day I had no signal for much of the day. I even reflashed LMY47I firmware and finally after 5-6 hours of 3g and no signal, my LTE was back up and going and all okay. A few pages back myself and another person discussed this issue. Gotta be Sprint.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
Just tried 3 different aosp/cm roms and can't get lte for the life of me. Works fine on stock based. Tried the sprint zip but that didn't seem to do anything either. Bummed.
[Nexus 6  General] zanoli99:
Yeah same here. Some great aosp ROMS and I tried them but sprint signal is terrible with any radio. Voice quality has been shaky for me to on AOSP. Im in san antonio. I switched to Sprint recently. At least there are a few decent stock ROMS to pick from. If anyone is in SA and has a aosp ROM that has been working well for them, please let me know. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'm in SATX and never an issue on AICP or DU. They're my favs and I use them most always. I get a good signal. Live in North West off Vance Jackson and work on Riverwalk and go all over and all good on my end. I'm on LMY47I firmware with included 95 radio, flashed with fastboot.. Now T-Mobile is horrible in Texas!! They cap data quick fast and spotty as spotty can be. I'm from Houston and switched to T-Mobile last year and came back to sprint pretty quick after a few months once I saw the crappy service. Sprint definitely much better than Tmo here in Tx anyway.. I'm happy with sprint. Check out those roms.. You'll love em. [emoji108]
[Nexus 6  General] zanoli99:
Thanks for the tip. Haven't tried those two but will give them a go and report back. I'm at 1604 and bulverde area so I'll see how it is there. Go spurs go
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Are you flashing the Sprint zip right after the ROM, before you ever reboot. I think that's the only way it helps. Good luck.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
Yup on all 3 I tried. Still just 3g only.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Well that sucks. I guess at least there is a few good stock roms. I've been sticking to stock base roms for stability anyway.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I haven't used the sprint zip in a week and data and signal have been fine. Almost always on LTE here in San Antonio Texas. I use twrp 2.8.5.0, always wipe data, system, cache and delvik cache, flash rom, gapps and reboot. All good for me on AICP and DU. Flashed back to stock LMY47I this morning.. Hope you get it going soon. Maybe call Sprint..?

Oh and I always set network to LTE (recommend) home and check apns and make sure they're correct..
[Nexus 6  General] donfranko:
I am on Chroma's latest with no LTE data issues and didn't flash the Sprint Data Fix. Did you try going into Settings > Selecting "More..." under Wireless & Networks > Cellular Networks and then try both LTE and Global for "Preferred Network Type"?

I did have some issues with other AOSP ROM builds and had to change from Global to LTE as my preference to get things going.

Also, I'd check their APNs lists to see if those are right .
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
want to update. had the phone on all weekend on one charger and out of 48 hours only 5 min were spent without signal. Must have been something with sprint since i did not do anything to the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
Does anyone else lose data signal on LTE and get an exclamation point, I get it so often that I resorted to using 3G...anyone have any insight on this?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Stock or custom ROM?
[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
Bone stock ever since 5.1 tried global and LTE preferred
[Nexus 6  General] :
Have you tried the data dialer reset code from the OP?
[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
Will do and report back, anything else?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Update PRL and device config in Settings>more>cellular networks>carrier settings.

If you haven't already.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
Have tried that trying the dialer code now
[Nexus 6  General] :
If this fails to make an improvement, call Sprint and see if there's a tower issue in your area.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
Unfortunately it's still doing it, any ideas on why it won't reconnect to data after its lost? It's not just this area it happens in that's why I am wondering... And it's only since 5.1
[Nexus 6  General] :
What I'd do: Flash LMY47I firmware using fastboot and if that doesn't work call Sprint and tell them your phones broken and what issues you have. They'll send you a new one free. They sent me a new Gnex back in the day for free... It was defective. Good luck. [emoji72]
[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
I'm assuming that would require a claim these days.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Depends. If you live close enough to a Sprint store, they'll want you to bring it there. If you don't live near a store, they will send a device to you via UPS. They've done it for me a few times.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
I'm not quite convinced it's the device when it was fine prior to this last update.
[Nexus 6  General] :
One way to find out for sure, flash the LMY47I factory image as [MENTION=4490399]flashback7[/MENTION] suggested.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
*28 gets me "The feature code you have entered is not valid"
[Nexus 6  General] cornelious2:
Not *28 it needs to be *28 immediately followed by your google voice number before hitting send
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Did that too. Same result.
[Nexus 6  General] cornelious2:
Let's say your google voice number is (888)555-1234

The number you should dial is *288885551234

Is that in line with what you did?

When you call it it should just beep a couple times
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Yup that is what I did.

I was hoping flashing to Slim would make the damn notification go away... But it came back this morning
[Nexus 6  General] cornelious2:
Oh, do you have full integration or just the normal visual voice.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Full integration, SMS and voicemail handled now through Hangouts via GV
[Nexus 6  General] cornelious2:
So what you need to do is in integrate, clear your old sprint voicemail and reintegrate most likely then.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
It makes no sense why I would. I've had the same GV integration for 3 years across now 3 devices and dozens of ROM flashes.

Haven't seen this problem in a very long time...last time was an app issue
[Nexus 6  General] cornelious2:
The last two times I swapped phones with sprint they jacked up my voicemail and reset it back to sprints system.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
When I chatted with Sprint they said in no uncertain terms I do not have a Sprint voicemail account in any way, and have not had one in 3 years.

They pinned the blame on Google when the notification is most certainly not caused by Google. It is coming from the phone app only when I change cell sites.
[Nexus 6  General] KB112:
Is the solution to wait for a sprint branded phone to update to Lollipop? Then grab and install the VVM apk? I know I do that on AOSP ROMS now.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
I purchased a Sprint-kitted Nexus 6 from my Sprint store when it seemed my Moto 64Gb order was in indefinite pre-order hell. Sprint 32GB did this. Moto 64GB does this. I've tried stock, SlimROM, Pure Shamu, and stock ROMs with both stock kernels and with LeanKernel and they do this. The notification comes from the Phone (VOICEMAIL).apk when it refreshes its database when it changes cell towers. Sadly you cannot freeze that APK without breaking your ability to make phone calls, I already tried that one.

Why having Sprint VVM would change that behavior for someone like me who has not have a Sprint voicemail account of any sort for years I do not know.
[Nexus 6  General] x_maniic:
How do you get your phone white listed??? I just received mine in the mail today and they told me that I couldn't activate it..
[Nexus 6  General] KB112:
Sorry, I don't have my N6 yet. Set to arrive on Monday per my tracking #. I didn't see that you only use GV. I just know on non stock ROMS from other devices, I had to install VVM. If I didn't I'd get that stupid 9016 notification randomly. Unless we're talking about something completely different. If so, don't mind me, I can be dense. Lol
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Post in this thread and let Moto know Sprint are being pinheads:

https://forums.motorola.com/posts/7952cadcad

It is similar to that 9016 voicemail bug, and I thought about it being similar TBH.
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
I received my 64GB Nexus 6 from Motorola almost 2 weeks ago, and I didn't have to get it whitelisted. It was able to get it activated immediately through their website.

I was under the impression that all of the IMEIs have been whitelisted at this point.
[Nexus 6  General] x_maniic:
How exactly did you activate it on their website???
[Nexus 6  General] compuguy1088:
Your're just lucky. The tower/network situation there is a mixed bag (because of poor tower coverage). I honestly haven't used sprint in williamsburg, but t-mobile and at&t have a lot of dead spots and coverage issues.
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
I just logged in and clicked the link to change/activate my phone. http://www.sprint.com/activate/ Be sure you power off your old phone first (or put it into airplane mode).

I had to put in the IMEI (leave off the last digit), and then it asked me for the ICC ID of the SIM. I was up and running within a few minutes.

Make sure you have the correct SIM for this phone. The credit card sized SIM (where you punch out the nano SIM piece) says it's Part SIMGLW426C. If you don't have one just contact Sprint international and they'll send you one for free. I asked for Sprint part number CZ2124LWC (I'm not sure why it's different from what's printed on the card). You should also be able to go into a Sprint store and pick one up. They should also be able to activate it for you in store.
[Nexus 6  General] GeneticJim:
I have a dumb question. I want to buy the 64gb version from Motorola directly. Does sprint have any issues on activating a non sprint branded N6? I know verizon has issue with it.
[Nexus 6  General] rollrsk8ter:
I just activated a new 64gb version on Sprint. Took the store almost 1 hour to activateonly because it was from play store and they add a extra zero to the end of the IMEI, once they figured that out no problem. You need a Sprint nano sim. I understand, there were issues until Motorola starting providing a feed of unlocked phones IMEI to Sprint.
[Nexus 6  General] GeneticJim:
Awesome thank you
[Nexus 6  General] 02840:
No issues here either. Bought 64G directly from Motorola. Had Sprint send me a SIM. Activated online (by dropping the last digit on the IMEI). Was up and running in less than 10 minutes.

On a side note; since Sprint doesn't offer the 64G directly you can't get TEP/insurance from them. Not a concern for me because I dropped that when I had my OG 32G Moto X, but some folks might not realize this. I did breakdown and get MotoCare with my N6.
[Nexus 6  General] sevenpioverthree:
Does anyone here know a fix for the "000000" carrier name that shows up for me on most ROMs? I'm talking about on lock screen and in quick settings

I tried decompiling the framework-res.apk to edit the eri.xml, which I kinda just assumed was where the problem was.

But no luck, I guess it doesn't help that I don't know what I'm doing.

Hoping to find some help here!
[Nexus 6  General] :
Try rebooting, maybe toggle airplane mode off then on.. Reset APN to default then reboot and see if that helps.. If none of above help wipe again and flash Sprint zip from op at very end of flash and you should be good. I've only had what you describe happen a few times.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] sevenpioverthree:
Sadly the first things I always do are reset my APNs and flash that zip, neither bearing any results.

I tried toggling airplane mode and rebooting just now too but nothing seems to work :/

Edit: Does it make a difference that on LTE my phone always shows as Sprint, but not 3G/1x?
[Nexus 6  General] GeneticJim:
Good to hear. I bought the 64 through motorola with the motocare last night. I cant wait to move into the n6 from my note 3

Every time I try to do the *#*#72786#* it reboots, comes up to hand free activation and just sits there on that screen forever. Never activates. Last time I tried it, called Sprint and they did it from their end and it finally took.. This time same issue, just hanging on the Hand free screen again. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'm curious, stock or custom ROM?
[Nexus 6  General] longshot21771:
Custom rom. I installed [ROM] [3/18] Stock Rooted 5.1 LMY47E - Root, Busybox, init.d - Odex / Deodex. I ended up losing my stock root and would like to get back to the full stock root again, just not sure where to find it at.

I did have Chroma before this rom and you couldn't do the codes with it, because of it being an AOSP rom
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'd flash the factory image files separately, excluding userdata. Re-root, profit. :)
[Nexus 6  General] longshot21771:
Can you link the the factory image files please? I think I know where they are, not certain. Flashing the factory image files separetely, never done it like that before. Usually I just install the zip file thru recovery.

[Nexus 6  General] nein7three:
Sorry to bring this up months later, but I am upgrading from my Nexus 5 to the Nexus 6. My N5 has had this problem since the day I got it. I have to be on 3g/wifi all the time and occasionally I will get texts and calls while on LTE. Is there any temporary solution to this? I've read through all of this extensively but I haven't been able to derive if setting the phone to 'cdma/lte/evdo' will solve the problem.

I'm on version D what is "I"... and where do I get it and how to install it without root?
[Nexus 6  General] :

[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
Here is a revised list of steps I compiled/simplified from various sources that I've used multiple times to manually flash without fail. "I" is a newer version of 5.1 that can be found at the link below in my steps. Take caution when completing these steps and be patient, some take awhile.

[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
So if I don't want root, would I just stop after "fastboot reboot"?
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
Correct, that's just a full list I made to remind myself when I do it and I use the cfroot method

The Tig using Tapatalk
[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
Does my bootloader need to be unlocked to flash via fastboot?
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
I have always unlocked by habit but it is my understanding that it is a requirement for manually flashing a full stock image. It even refers to it within the link where you download the images.

I would just warn you that unlocking may wipe your phone so backup whatever you need to before that process. If you don't need to, I also wouldn't bother relocking because I believe it also wipes the data.

[Nexus 6  General] :
Correct. Unlocking and re-locking both wipe data.

anyone else having problems receiving phone calls with WiFi on? I've been having this issue since they fixed the double text issue. I've tried different modems, resetting via the dialer code, flashing stock firmwares via fastboot, updating profile/prl (even the most recent one, 55025), switching between 3g and lte. nothing makes a difference.

someone tell me I'm not crazy.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
You're not crazy, if you read a couple pages back there are numerous people myself included that have had this issue as well. I have been running without WiFi on LTE for over a month and have no issues. Just sucks that I can't use WiFi at all if I want to get any calls.
