Yeah, I think I'm going to jump ship due to the SMS issues. I think I'm going to try t-mobile. Sprint is the only carrier I get signal with at my work (basement of a hospital) but if the nexus 6 gets WiFi calling on t-mobile at some point I think I could make it work. Otherwise I'll have to switch phones as well.

I ordered mine back in early December and had it at my house two days later.

Hey guys I haven't really checked this thread in a while. Anyone found a work around for "your account cannot be validated" issue? I've been dealing with this for over a month. I've been using Hangouts to send/receive calls and text on data, but some times I don't have the best data service, and can't do anything. It's getting really aggravating. Sprint won't do a damn thing!
[Nexus 6  General] andygu3:
Is this a Google account issue? Not sure if if this is the same problem but I had a Chrome sync issue with my password being wrong, it ended up I had changed my Google password a while back and my new password was not working. I had to use a previous password for the issue to be resolved.

Hope this helps
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
The problem is that there is no APN menu.
[Nexus 6  General] Mattv111:
Thanks for the reply, but no that's a different issue. I'm not able to send/receive calls or texts. I can only use data. There's been a few others with this issue.
[Nexus 6  General] andygu3:
Okay, fortunately I haven't had any problems with texts or phone calls. I did have an issue with calls and texts with my Note 2, the cause was the upgrading of the towers near me. Sprint did offer the airrave to me, it helped with the issue at my house but for about 2-3 weeks, I was not able to get anything away from my home. So hopefully issues are with the towers and not the phone
[Nexus 6  General] orlzzt:
The only thing that has worked for me is "Settings - - More - - Mobile Networks - - Preferred Network Type" and then selecting "3G". I usually am on Wi-Fi (between my house and my office) so I haven't had to toggle back to LTE for anything yet. Apparently, all AOSP and CM builds have this issue. I also can't get I to the settings for "carrier", nor any of the dialer settings (like *#*# stuff)

Long shot, but has there been any news on the duplicate SMS issue? I haven't kept up with it and have just accepted that I piss everyone off when I text them.
[Nexus 6  General] orlzzt:
I think any ROM based off stock image, as opposed to AOSP or CM. The Sprint issues are upstream in both of those bad boys.

[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
I know those 2 are stock based. Are there any others?
[Nexus 6  General] orlzzt:
I believe Chroma is stock based, too. Basically, you can go to the OP of any ROM that catches your eye and it should tell you in there what the "base" is.

So still no fix for SMS and call issue?
[Nexus 6  General] Mattv111:
Not to my knowledge. I'm still dealing with it.

I thought he was talking about the issue where you can't make or receive calls or send/receive texts. Idk about the duplicate text issue. I wish I could sent duplicate texts lol.
[Nexus 6  General] guitardoc64:
It seems to depend on your service area. I haven't had any of the text issues or call issues. Everything is working great.
[Nexus 6  General] :
After the latest update to Google Messenger, I tried to send a text with it. The first time it failed then it sent four times. Hangouts continues to work flawlessly. Just a FYI, if someone didn't know, you can configure your APN in hangouts settings.
[Nexus 6  General] guitardoc64:
I'm using Google messenger with no problems, thanks for the tip about Hangouts.
[Nexus 6  General] gmelchert:
Wifi and 3g with google messenger keeps me dupe free. Though calling over WiFi is bad, people generally have to call twice to get through. You can check for dupe texts if you have google voice integration BTW. You can also text via voice and will not get any problems.
[Nexus 6  General] ZFish:
I'm not sure if this is referencing the duplicate text message problem, but it is definitely not fixed. My friends keep getting mad because they are getting the same message 6 times. I have read that it has to do with the way Sprint's Nexus 6 changes between using WiFi, 4G, and 3G. So far the only fix I have seen is to disable the 4G, which is a waste because I'm paying for fast internet.

[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
How you liking the phone so far?
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
What do you think the odds are that the 5.1 update will add wifi calling for Sprint? I assume it will add it for T-Mobile, as they announced it months ago and the timing is perfect.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
Why do you need WiFi calling?
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Maybe he means VoLTE. With single hardware-path radio phones it really ought to be standard...not something they scramble to activate and having been around since the LG G2 and Nexus 5 it ain't new.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
I don't think this will happen anytime soon. Sprint needs to update their network for this to happen.
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
There are a couple locations I go to occasionally that don't have Sprint service (mostly visiting family). But there's always wifi. All the newish non-Nexus phones have it. It's just a nice feature to have.

Granted, some of these locations have airaves, but they don't work really unless there is no LTE signal period (or the phone is put into 3G only mode).

In theory, the infrastructure for wifi calling is basically the same as VoLTE (at least it's supposed to be). That being said, I read that Sprint's wifi calling basically opens an ipsec tunnel and uses the same protocol as an airave on the backend. I'm not sure if this is how they're going to be doing VoLTE as well or not.

[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Hey guys would like a little feedback on y'all opinions about this phone. I'm eligible for an upgrade now but not sure if i should wait it out for any future device or finally get my first nexus device. I actually went to T-Mobile and played with one since the sprint store near me don't have them on display due to it not selling well for them and when i played with the one at T-Mobile i was in a rush so really didn't get a good feel for it but i did noticed that i really didn't like the color at all it really seemed hmmm can't explain it but it wasn't attractive the whole screen and color was ugly but maybe i need to check it one more time and check the display mode options and such.

Any who besides it being of course a nexus what do you guys really like about this phone? I know it's stock vanilla and it's more if a developer phone and such and of course the speakers but is there anything else about the device?
[Nexus 6  General] Kchitown1977:
Besides duplicate texts loving mine use my upgrade to get n6
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Is sprint working on that issue? I've read about that and actually here reading it as we speak on the sprint site review for that phone and i think it's something that would actually bug me everyday. If there isn't a fix being work on for this and other issues i just can't see myself paying top dollars for a device that's going to annoy me so much.
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
I was worried about the size of the phone before I got it. I had the S4, which when I got that phone I thought was the perfect size, not too big and not to small (iphoneish). However after using the phone for 2 days I picked up my wife's S4 to get lollipop on it and I could not believe how small it was. I could not go back to a smaller phone. The phone is incredibly snappy. I am on Franco's kernel and was able to change the screen colors to where they look great IMO. Also the battery life is amazing, I am getting 18 hours a day with close to 5 hours screen time and still sitting between 30% to 20% battery left. Also the fast charging is great, I plug it in at night between 30% to 20% and in an hour and 15 minutes it is fully charged again. I also have put Camera FV5 on it and I feel the pictures come out amazing, better than the S4. If you are looking to upgrade this would be a great phone. I did mine on the Sprint Finance Plan so I did not have to extend my contract, I am hoping to be able to switch over the the Google network and pick-up T-Mobile towers as well as Sprint at a lower cost.

As for Dup texts, I luckily have had no issues, I use messenger from day 1 and have not had one problem. I truly believe this is a geographic issue, we had issues about 6 months ago with this happening on our S4's and it went on for about a month and then stopped and we have had no issues since then.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Thanks for your reply and yea i totally 4got this is a nexus and with the development it has you do have total control over the device but i never really played with modifying the colors so it would be something i would have to look at and learn. I am also on the payment lease plan as well and if i do upgrade i would be turning in my LG G Flex back to sprint. I am really tempted on getting the device and i might end up pulling the trigger i just hope that i don't get any of that duplicate text issues.
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
When I got my phone I took the 5.0.1 update and then unlocked and rooted it so I could use my titanium backups. I am still stock, but useing the MCR Modpack and then Franco's Kernel with VomerTweaks. Outside of that I am using what shipped with the phone. That is what is great about a Nexus is that you can mod it as little or as much as you want. I really think Google has done a great job on Lollipop, except for some battery leaks, which is why a different kernel is great because they can make fixes a lot faster.

As for the colors it is very simple, you just enter the Red, Green and Blue values that you want, the phone ships with all values at the max 255. All I did was saw what others had done and liked and tried them and stayed with the one that looked the best to me.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
It all depends on who you speak to. One of the mods has confirmed that it's a issue and Google and Motorola are working on a fix. Then SprintCare reps are still claiming that the December update fixed the problem.

I'm thinking that there's gotta be some kind of fix coming, especially if Sprint is truly going to be part of the new Google cell provider thingy.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
So about this new google cell thing that's going to be using both sprint and T-Mobile network is that something that is official already and being worked on?
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
The thread on Sprint's forum was closed when a mod said that it will be fixed in the next update (which I'm guessing is 5.1 coming sometime this month). If I had to take a guess, that update will come out before Verizon starts selling the Nexus 6, but that's just a hunch.
[Nexus 6  General] Kchitown1977:
About 100 or so texts only had about 5 be duplicates
[Nexus 6  General] sjr19:
I had the issue last night. Messages were sent out in triplicate. Now sitting with my phone on 3G.

Awkward for me because I am still in my 14 day window. I love the phone otherwise. Not sure what to do...
[Nexus 6  General] Mistertac:
If it's not something that makes you look foolish ( work phone sending duplicates to customers etc..) And you can stand having the issue I'd keep the phone.

We have IMO one of the best phones, certainly the best Development and Sprint is so damn cheap it almost makes it worth it lol

For me it's random, the issue will go away for about a week or so then pop back up so who knows, does seem silly Sprint can't diagnose it and fix it quicker than this.

It's not a Nexus issue either it's happening across a couple devices that I know of.
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
It is happening, just a question of when. I would have to think with everything in place between Google and T-Mobile and Sprint it will happen shortly. My guess would be late spring/early summer.

My dream is that they bundle this with their Google Fiber package.

Hey guys just got my nexus 6 on sprint. I ran a speed test in an area that has spark enabled, but for some reason my phone doesn't seem to pick it up. I ran a speed test and it looks like normal LTE speed. Here's a screenshot of the tests. I'm on chroma ROM if that helps. I ran two tests. Any ideas? I wanted to check here before creating a whole new thread.

I used to have a G3 and would typically get 40-45 down in the same area.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Are you sure the nexus is connecting to b41 I would highly recommend signal check /signal check pro so you can see that on the fly
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Hey guys is the nexus 6 an all carrier lte band device for example would a T-Mobile nexus 6 work on the sprint carrier or the carrier version only works for that specific carrier and Google and Motorola sells a multi band version that you could connect to any carrier?
[Nexus 6  General] :
I believe the only model currently Sim locked is AT&T. All nexus 6 are basically the same otherwise. Swap the Sim and use on any carrier.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Damn wish i can really confirmed this even though a sprint rep told me the opposite that it wouldn't work but it is a sprint rep and they basically are clueless. The reason is since I'm thinking of buying this device i found some local sellers selling T-Mobile variants for $400 to $480 that way i don't use my upgrade.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I've heard there's a service available online that can get you unlocked for like $20. I can't confirm that from personal experience though. I think I read it in a thread here somewhere. I ordered mine on launch day through Sprint and they were unlocked at that time. I don't recall reading anything official that said Sprint models were locked, other than some reports here of devices purchased through Amazon that were locked.

[Nexus 6  General] KB112:
You likely won't be able to activate it on Sprint. The IMEI has to be in their system (whitelisted) to allow it. The only ones Sprint will activate are phones from Sprint, Google play store or direct from Motorola.

They won't activate the ATT version, or one brought from T-Mobile. Unless somehow the imei is on their whitelist. Putting in the Sim might get you Sprint LTE, but not phone service or 1x/3g.

Carrier Label

Hey guys, does anyone know how to remove the carrier label from the notification screen, without custom rom (Xposed is an option, but i cant find any working modules currently).

Relevant to sprint, as it is a sprint phone (im hoping it is relevant here), And so far i have found nothing that works.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] dslinfreak:
It is confirmed by a few articles and people that I've spoken with that both sprint and t-mobile N6 devices have no bloatware or sim-lock, so they are transferable. ATT at the moment is the only carrier I know of so far that has disturbed the N6 stock rom.

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

Also, after speaking with one of my buddies that works at the Sprint HQ in Kansas, apparently google is flexing their muscles and trying to force as many carriers as possible to whitelist all known N6 imei's.
[Nexus 6  General] rubber guard:
In the us? Where?
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
best buy had it on sale a while back, I jumped on it immediately and remember, the sprint version is fully unlocked, contract or not

The modaco MOD pack has that option.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Sweet thanks for the confirmation guess I'll be picking one of these bad boys up for the low hopefully and that way i could save my yearly upgrade for something good later on in the year.

Now one other question i have is I'm still paying for my G Flex would i be able to activate the nexus on my line and still be paying my monthly payments for the G Flex or do i have to have the G Flex active since it's the phone that's being paid?
[Nexus 6  General] dslinfreak:
You will have to have the GFlex active since you're still paying on it, unless you decide to pay it off all at once. My wife wanted to get an N6 at the same time but we couldn't afford paying off her LG G3 Vigor and getting a new phone at the same time.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Damn that sucks.
[Nexus 6  General] :
About the G flex question, I don't think it matters if it is activated. I got the N6 while having easy pay on G3. I activated N6 and G3 sat idle for two months until I finally convinced my wife to take it. I think all they care about is that you continue to pay for it.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
This is what i was hoping for that it wouldn't have mattered as long as I'm paying my bill and the monthly payment for the G Flex thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
If I was you I would take the phone back immediately. This has been an issue since the phone was released and if it doesn't get fixed in the next update I am guessing we'll be dealing with this **** for the life of the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] kf2m:
I'm on Sprint coming from a M7. As for LTE the N6 is leaps and bounds better than the m7. Even though at home I am saturated the LTE I never got a LTE signal. The n6 gets a very good LTE signal inside. At work I am way outside the LTE coverage area yet I get and hold am LTE signal in a large shielded office building.
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
Holds it better than my Nexus 5 did but I thought that phone did a fine job. I base this mostly on the fact I get a consistent signal in my basement now when on my Nexus 5 it would switch to 3G after awhile.
[Nexus 6  General] maamdroid:
I drive about 1.5 hours to work every day. On my way to work there are spots that switch to 3g and eventually goes back to LTE. In those areas, I can flip airplane mode off and then on. It will then go to decent strength LTE. This happened on my nexus 5 as well.

On my way home from work it seems to do this less. I have been in areas where this happens and my friend with an M8 is on LTE...

If I'm with him and on 3g I always ask him what he is on. Though I haven't done this comparison with the N6 yet.

As of now it is behaving exactly like the N5 and is annoying, but in my main places I am most of the day I get strong LTE.

On the N5 I would set the phone in the debug mode to only LTE and I would be on LTE all the time, except one area on my work trip where I would have no signal. Though battery would report that I have had no signal so it looks like the other antennas still tried to connect...

I use google voice so I just used hangouts for calling and receiving while on LTE...so I could get away with being only LTE.

Plus I could then use data while on a call since my call is all going through data.

If the battery drain didn't happen, I would force LTE all the time. I'll give that a try on the N6 now and report back.
[Nexus 6  General] maamdroid:
Update with running LTE only mode
[Nexus 6  General] maamdroid:
Running it LTE only over night. I had LTE signal all night
[Nexus 6  General] nicholz:
I have done exactly this without any problems - I only went once from sprint to T-Mobile and back again and have had no problems with service - in fact getting > 50 mpbs in places with sprint in evanston Il and chicago. The lack of simultaneous voice and data is annoying though - step backwards from note 3.
[Nexus 6  General] maamdroid:
I did this with my nexus 5s, a couple times while switching/hot swapping I lost data.. Only fix was flashing all stock images manually.

Haven't done any of that with the n6, but it should work, just may be painful if you aren't ready to have to flash to stock...

One time I even contacted sprint and they walked me through activation and that worked(which I did prior many times) so I don't know if they did something on their end that time.

Though at the end of the day, switching works.
[Nexus 6  General] oldpreowner:
Just thought I would say hi. Just got my nexus 6 activated this morning. Having some issues with switching towers. I actually use my phone to make calls while traveling. My phone lost signal twice and dropped calls where yesterday with my n5 talked through both spots. Lte signal definitely seems better though.
[Nexus 6  General] Mistertac:
I'm having an issue gauging these sorts of potential problems because I came from Verizon... Where I always had great LTE with really fast speeds. Sprint... Not so much lol

Although I'll say I really don't think the service I'm getting with my nexus is all that bad really so far.
