I'm still having issues. With missed calls but phone not ringing. Really annoying when wife trying to get a hold of me.could I b cause I'm using you mail vvm
[Nexus 6  General] lordtinuviel:
Im having that issue from time to time.....Pure Nexus ROM
[Nexus 6  General] :
I am also on Pure Nexus. Haven't had any issues at all. Are your PRL and device config updated? Also, is your preferred network set to LTE?

One more thing, which radio are you using? I'm on 101r but others have said the M radio has had good results.
[Nexus 6  General] lordtinuviel:
PRL - 55029

How do I check for Radio?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Settings>About Phone>baseband version.
[Nexus 6  General] lordtinuviel:
101R too
[Nexus 6  General] :
Try using the M radio and see if that is an improvement. I think it's 24r.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
I cannot believe this is still an issue totally unacceptable, I am bone stock.
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
I am still having the issue also.

The problem only seems to occur when I am connected to WiFi and my Cellular Service is set to LTE. It seems that the Nexus 6 has problems switching to the Sprint 1x for calls.

The only 'work-around' I have found is manually toggling the phone to 3G only mode while connected to WiFi, and then toggling the phone back to LTE when not connected to WiFi.

I completely agree!

Searching Google apparently the problem has existed since the Nexus 6 was released in 2014!

You would think that Sprint would have found a solution to the problem.

My personal suggestion is that everyone keep reporting to Sprint.

Hopefully Sprint will eventually correct the problem.
[Nexus 6  General] enyce9:
I had this issue on two separate Nexus 6. I kept calling in and complaining, Sprints solution was to send me a Samsung note 5. There is no known actual fix, and some Google fi users are reporting the same problem.

Keep on them guys it's unacceptable.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Yikes.

Well I suppose you have a phone that functions as a phone now at least. I'd have razzed Sprint by pointing out that a locked down device that will cease getting critical updates in a year isn't a suitable replacement.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
I lucked out, I was on Sprint and had the worst calling issue which forced me to stay on LTE only. Since then I've switched to Fi and flashed the latest Fi Stock Rom, rooted like I did on Sprint and no issues whatsoever.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
no issues here, latest 5.1.... Rom just with this kennel.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelorion:
i am trying to activate my nexus 6 on ringplus which uses the sprint network. i am having a hell of a time finding the correct sim part number. lots of conflicting part numbers. thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
Personally I am still having the problem.

I am hoping that when Android Marshmallow rolls out, it might fix the issue. But of course I am not optimistic.

Until there is a fix, I'll continue to use the 3G Only while on WiFi work around.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Personally, I think that it's a problem with Sprint's new network and the Nexus 6. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be a high priority to Sprint to fix it. Which is surprising due to Project Fi.

Sprint's new response when I did my monthly complaint call was "Download the Sprint Zone app from Google Play and make a report". And they wonder why people are leaving.
[Nexus 6  General] asacado:
I am honestly on the fence. I want to get the nexus 6 before sprint off's their inventory. The new generation isn't going to be financable via carrier and that's my only current method to purchase one. I am using the M8/M9 on CM nightlies and wondering if the jump to a pure aosp experience is worth it right now. We really don't know when cm13 will drop. Thoughts or suggestions to getting the nexus 6 now?
[Nexus 6  General] Mistertac:
My opinion... Jumping to the Shamu from the M8/M9 is totally worth it. Have you had a Nexus before? Prior to this I had HTCs and Samsung's and as great as they can be, there is nothing like a Nexus if you're into rooting and roms.

You'll always have development for this phone. You'll have CM , AOSP and stock ROMs for quite some time not to mention updates very quickly.

Do it!
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
I totally agree that the Nexus 6 is worth jumping to from the HTC M8 or M9.

Don't get me wrong, the HTC M8 is a great phone, but the Nexus 6 has just as good hardware and runs a lot smoother and quicker.

Personally, I had an HTC M8, and this past May, it up and croaked. At urging for a friend who I work with, I decided to get the Nexus 6, on Sprint EasyPay . I have to say that I absolutely love it.

The stereo speakers are just as good as the stereo speakers on the HTC M8.

The screen size and resolution on the Nexus 6 are much better than the HTC M8. Also, the phone runs much more smoothly and quickly with pure Android, as opposed to HTC Sense.

Honestly, having only ever used HTC Sense, I thought that I would miss it, moving to a Nexus 6 with pure Android, but I really don't, I actually love it.

So like the previous poster said, Go For It!

Get the Nexus 6!
[Nexus 6  General] asacado:
My only question is this, how bad is the screen burn in? I usually use other devices for videos and streaming, but I don't put my phone on highest brightness ever. I just wonder.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Use immersive mode and pie controls and never worry about it
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
Personally I can't speak for others, but for the time that I have had my Nexus 6, I haven't noticed any Screen Burn-In at all.
[Nexus 6  General] asacado:
Now to just find the device for less than 600. Right now easy pay at sprint with a shipped order seems to be the only method I can use to get the device. I've looked at many options and wanted to sell my m9 back to sprint and use that credit towards the finance of the device, but I've had no luck.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Amazon for $350 or $400 depending on which size. Oh and it is prime
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
Personally, I got my Nexus 6 on Sprint Easy Pay, and I am paying $25 per month.

As for selling back your HTC M9, don't sell it back to Sprint. I Highly recommend selling it to 360 Mobility... http://360mobility.com/buy-back/. They actually give a fair price and will work with you to get the device shipped to them. I'll send you a PM with the contact information for the rep that I work with.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
If you are interested I am selling my N6 soon. I bought mine from Sprint and still actually have the sim that came from it. It is currently flashed with the Fi Rom but I plan on getting the 6p and can flash it back to Sprint. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.
[Nexus 6  General] asacado:
Regarding that, I am not on amazon prime, I've always either done contract or finance my devices. Right now I am off contract and wanted to just do a pay off plan.

---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------

I was also looking to trade my m9, but of course risk of blacklisted devices and I avoid craigs list like the plague. I have considered reddit swap or swappa, but of course that's still forking out a few bills with swappa. I am a little worried sprint will suddenly stop offering easy pay for the nexus 6 instead of price cutting it like they do most devices, IE G3, M8 and most androids on sale right now.
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
Please,

I highly recommend 360 Mobility. And, no I don't work for them nor do I have any financial interest. It is just that they are a reputable company that has always treated me fairly.

Honestly, I actually got $150 for my old HTC M8.

Just saying that it is safer and more reliable than Craigslist or Swappa.
[Nexus 6  General] rollrsk8ter:
I was having the issue of not getting calls while on wifi. I found that in marshmallow preview 3 advance wifi settings, turn option wifi always on during sleep to "never", haven't had a issue in a month or more
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
interesting, just changed that in 5.1.1, will see if anything changes
[Nexus 6  General] Mistertac:
Like the other person said, I've also never had screen burn in. I've not done anything special to avoid it either, just used the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
I also have never had an issue with screen burn in. I have watched movies and youtube on it. I have the auto brightness set. This is hands down the best phone I have ever used. Usually I am itching to get a new phone after a year, and I tried to make the case for one of the new phones and I just could not. I was worried about battery life because I always had an extra battery and the ONLY issue I have had is when I let the phone run for about 3 weeks without a reboot something started eating the battery and a quick reboot fixed it. I was also worried about storage only have a 32GB without an SD card and again this has not been an issue for me at all.

The only thing that I need to figure out is how to get the dust out of the speakers, I am a little OCD on this and it does not look bad, but I can see it.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
Agree, no burnin here either, and I watch a ton of videos on the phone.

Speaking of the battery, my stock note 5 gets the same, if not slightly better battery life than the nexus 6 ( which is modified with kernel and a bunch of other tweaks).
[Nexus 6  General] asacado:
Storage isn't that big a worry with USB OTG, its just pricing and finding a good deal. I won't have the bones to drop 350+ till the end of the month and I know its only a matter of time before sprint decides to axe it like the 2013 nexus 5.
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
The great thing about the Nexus 6 is it is unlocked so you don't have to buy from Sprint. I know there has been 2 deals on eBay for new Nexus 6's for $299.99 in the last couple of weeks. Keep an eye out for good deals they should be there.
[Nexus 6  General] asacado:
Got my shamu!
[Nexus 6  General] fleebailey33:
Wifi Calling, does it work, if so how? I can't find any information on it.
[Nexus 6  General] :
It does not. Not on the N6.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
I'm rooted and on Pure Nexus but would like to try another ROM. If I switch, how do I check my PRL and Update my Data Profile? I've searched here and seen people talking about it but I don't see a solution.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
You need a ROM with Sprint DM baked in properly. Twisted has it as do various others at this point.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Would it work if I use MultiROM?
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Yup I've been using multiROM and Sprint-DM enabled ROMs since both existed. Works fine. Running PRL 55029 on Twisted ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] HdMsTrTeCh:
I'm there with you on that OCD. If a solution presents itself please share as will I. I've been rooting/flashing for a long time and I love this phone. Size was my biggest issue but I'm big and everybody I know has either a note or a + phone so I hardly stick out anymore!
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Well, updated to 6.0, still no wifi calling, visual voice-mail and the wifi/lte issue is still there....this is ridiculous
[Nexus 6  General] iil:
Were we even supposed to receive wifi calling or visual voicemail?
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
It's all native to the os now so carriers don't have excuses anymore nor need special builds. They just need to enable it more or less
[Nexus 6  General] iil:
My understanding is that Sprint's wifi calling is implemented differently than what is baked into Android. I'm sure it would be enabled if it was compatible.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
then how is project fi working since it uses sprint and or t-mobile service? Because if you're not in a t-mobile service area and are using sprint I'm pretty sure your wifi calling still works
[Nexus 6  General] iil:
T-Mobile WiFi calling will still work in non T-Mobile service areas.
[Nexus 6  General] stebomurkn420:
Does anyone have a good app to enable tethering without root?
[Nexus 6  General] davidh59:
We don't need an app. Settings/ more/tethering Works fine for me
[Nexus 6  General] stebomurkn420:
No, I was looking for a mod. One that will work even if you are not subscribed to sprints actual hotspot tethering. Never mind though. I went the OG way... Edit build prop/sqlite index...
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Anyone on Sprint here get the OTA update msg yet ?
[Nexus 6  General] stebomurkn420:
Actually scratch that... Has anyone found an on-the-go fix for editing the sqlite database for hotspot? I am aware that people have been successful editing it manually through adb, but I am not around a computer at the moment.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

No, but I upgraded everything manually yesterday when it dropped and all is good here. Noticeable battery life improvements.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Any link to the Sprint OTA M Update available yet ?
[Nexus 6  General] donjuro:
Had anyone gotten tethering working successfully on marshmallow?
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
I have
[Nexus 6  General] donjuro:
I believe the builds have been consolidated, so there's only one now, no sprint specific.

How so? I looked in /data/data provider settings or something like that but I see no file in it.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Are there any threads here dedicated to info and support for people interested in manual ota install with some posted links to the ota files or where people can post link as they become available ??
[Nexus 6  General] :
Start here:

Nexus 6 Sticky Roll Up
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Thanks for the reply

What I really meant to say what I'm really looking for is any threads here dedicated to info and support for manual ota instalI of Android 6.0 Marshmallow with posted links to the ota M6 files ?????

Lots of good well organized sticky's but alot has also changed or needs to be updated with the m6 release
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Honestly I just pulled the build prop with adb, added the no provisioning line, push it back on, worked fine, not even rooted anymore
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
As of now, there are no OTAs for Marshmallow available. All that is rolling out right now are the security patches for October, which will be a prerequisite on the OTA upgrade path.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Flash the factory image.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Are you sure ?

A quick search found this

http://www.vcpost.com/articles/97511/20151008/google-nexus-6-confirmed-receive-android-0-marshmallow-official-ota.htm
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
Yes, I am sure. That article, like a zillion others, was talking about a future event. The actual OTAs to Marshmallow have not yet begun rolling out to anyone. They might be days away, or even longer. What has been released is the final factory image. But that is not an OTA, which is an incremental update. OTAs can be sideloaded. Factory images are flashed.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Oh well looks like your right i haven't been able to find a single ota file out there yet :)

nexus 6 tethering

I have

I have elementalx kernel

I rooted

I then Added to the buildprop net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

then You can do one of two things.....

1) down load a terminal emulator and enter the following: settings put global tether_dun_required 0

2) In platform-tools open command prompt....

adb shell

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

make sure that you have the usb debugging on.

works like a champ

I found this from the following

I would like native tethering. I remember this issue on lollipop and having to edit a db file and the build prop. I try it in a little bit and see if that works

*Edit*

Here's the fix

--modified /system/build.prop to add: "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" (without quotes)

Next do this from ADB shell:

$ su

# settings put global tether_dun_required 0

Maybe [MENTION=4404203]daniel84cs[/MENTION] can incorporate it into the rom
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
Hi. Its me again asking about the voicemail lol

Can anyone that flashed Factory image of marshmallow confirm if the marshmallow's visual voicemail is working on Sprint? (Open the dialer and it should be 4th tab on the right that's dedicated to a visual voicemail)

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Sprint doesn't have it turned on, Google said it's up to carriers to enable the feature
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
Thank you. It looks like i am gonna have to write more emails to CEO.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
I have a broom, would you like to hold the ocean back with it? It would be more fruitful and satisfying...
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
Lol. Eventually they will get tired of my emails and calls.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
No... You'll just be "that guy", that everyone jokes about at the workplace water cooler.
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
I always wanted to be " that" guy lol maybe they should be working on vvm instead of hanging around water cooler. Lazy Sprint employees.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
You think the Sprint CEO or anyone who has access to his office knows or cares anything about VVM or VoLTE or wifi calling?

Most are too busy playing golf to answer their phone or attend meetings....and those who are actually in their offices aren't paid to know what any of those letter groups actually mean.

Good point.

OTA is out for marshmallow
[Nexus 6  General] hondaguy5965:
YAYE! :victory:
[Nexus 6  General] davidh59:
While patiently waiting for the Marshmallow Ota I have searched all over for solutions to the signal bar with exclamation mark. I really have not found much help. It's bad when my wife's s6 looks good! I drive in and out of rural areas alot, so I I frequently need roaming or 3g when lte is not available. Many days I find myself toggling data off & on multiple times. This is the first device in years I've kept stock. Is there better solution? Google /sprint do not seem interested in fixing or even acknowledging there is a problem. Frustrating!
[Nexus 6  General] enyce9:
Had the exclamation point issue on mine when connected to 3g on project Fi . swapped the sim and all is good now
[Nexus 6  General] davidh59:
Can anyone confirm this works on sprint?
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
What works.
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
Oddly enough, I hadn't experienced that problem in a long time, but this weekend, I experienced it three times.
[Nexus 6  General] davidh59:
Enyce9 swapped out his sim. But that was on Fi
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
I think my nexus days are over. Still keeping the phone for a backup but going to use Note 5 primarily.

[Nexus 6  General] Rektifying:
New Sprint Nexus 6 Owner here!

I have only had my Nexus 6 for about two weeks and so far I am in love! I have always wanted a phone with a large display and now I definitely have one! At first I thought the Nexus 6 was just HUGE but I have already become accustomed to it. I have larger hands / longer fingers and I have no issues using it one handed even. It has become my favorite of all phones that I have owned. Here is a little background of my phone history:

I have been an iPhone / IOS user since the 3GS. I have owned every iPhone from the 3GS to the 6. I was getting so bored with IOS I had to switch it up. I have always thought about making the switch to Android. I told myself that when I do it will be for a Nexus device. I finally did it. I traded in my iPhone 6 to Sprint for a $400 service credit and ordered the Nexus 6. My friend works there and pulled some discounts to get it down to $500 for me. I went the Easy Pay route though, so I only had to pay the sales tax up front. (Yes I know Amazon has them for $350 but I wanted interest free financing and the ability to have insurance) I also sold my Apple TV box and picked up a Nexus Player for $49.00 at my local Walmart. So far I have had no regrets at all! I flashed my Nexus Player and Nexus 6 to 6.0 manually with no issues. I am definitely a Nexus lifer and will not be returning to an iPhone. The only things I am missing are Touch ID and Visual Voicemail. The later is obviously an easy fix. Trading off Touch ID for a 6" 2560x1440 Display, dual stereo speakers, wireless charging and more customization's than you can shake a stick it was hands down worth it in my opinion....

Also, for iPhones being so top notch I have found that I get better service and faster LTE with my Nexus 6 over my iPhone 6. I seem to have LTE in areas that I use to drop to 3G on my iPhone as well. I was not expecting that at all.
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
Welcome! I have never had an iPhone, but I have had several Android phones. I am usually the person who keeps my phone for a year and then hands it down to one of my kids or my wife because I want the newest phone. I wanted to do that again this year, but there was no new phone out there that blew away the N6. This has been the best phone I have had and I thought the screen size would be too big, but I love it. I once said the Samsung S4 was the perfect sized phone, now I will do something on my daughters phone (my old phone that she uses on wifi) and it is so small. The N6 will get me though the next round of phones for sure, if not longer. When my wife upgraded to the Note 4 in February the Sprint Rep was talking to us about how the phones for hardware are hitting a ceiling and they are expecting people will keep their phones longer. I can actually see this happening.
[Nexus 6  General] Rektifying:
I agree with the ceiling statement. Apple pulls people in by adding new features. (Like force touch on the 6S) Everything on the iPhone 6 is instant, stupid fast. The performance increase is pointless in my opinion. On Androids its kind of a different world. Sure OEMs add their own stuff if you like bloat, but stuff stays generally the same and performance increases seem to be the main focus. Well when you already have a stupid fast phone with plenty of ram what is really the point? This is the first time I have bought a "year old phone". The Nexus 6 in my opinion is still flagship status. The 808 and 810 are not substantially better than the 805. I could have went with the 6P but I am impatient, real world performance gains would be minimal, and I just preferred the Motorola N6 over the 6P. (Design, Brand, Display size) USB C and fingerprint sensor were not enough to sway my decision.

It will take a hell of a phone to make me want to switch from this! We will see what Google comes up with next year.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
How's everything doing with the battery on 6.0 with completely stock phones?

I'm getting mixed results. Sometimes I get 2.5 hrs SOT per 50% and other times 3 SOT
[Nexus 6  General] davidh59:
A little over 72 hrs since I received the 6.0 OTA. I've not seen the signal bar exclamation bug once. Still had wifi bug out once and had to reboot to get mms working. But at least some progress!
[Nexus 6  General] puritan007:
Sprint +nexus 6 = pita. After waiting a week to get the stupid imei white listed on this efm list thingy via clickitticket it finally got working. Now when I'm on 3g in town it loses signal regularly do no reason my wife and kids s6 phones work fine. I've updated my prl and all that. I'm thinking maybe I need to try a different radio in on Android m and newest baseband and radio. Had anyone else had any luck?
[Nexus 6  General] Rektifying:
Sprint pissed me off! I used my $400 iPhone 6 credit (I am out of the Apple Ecosystem) to pay off my Nexus 6 balance. I then cancelled Sprint and I am using Straight Talk @ $45 a month. I have their Verizon LTE Sim Card. Service has been way better and my LTE speed has nearly doubled! Upgraded service and downgraded price. Obviously this outcome will vary by area, but in my area Verizon is king just to expensive to go through directly.

Those of you that are wondering Straight Talk is a prepaid carrier. You can get Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile Sim card from them if your bring your own phone. Obviously I went Verizon being its $45 a month either way. $45 gets you unlimited talk, unlimited text, and Unlimited Data. (5GB of LTE then throttled into to ground, lol) So if 5GB is plenty for your usage its perfect. (I'm on WiFi at home and average 3GB a month data usage)
