Found myself in the same position and did the same and I also took the step of turning off my WiFi and as an added measure & forgetting my stored networks in the event it accidentally gets turned on.

I can't believe (well, honestly, this is Sprint we are talking about so maybe I should believe it) that we are having so many issues with a flagship phone.

I was starting to believe it was all custom ROM related until I remembered the first tenant of XDA... Perform a damn search.

Sucks we are all dealing with this but glad I'm not going crazy and that I'm not alone here.

I've been a member at XDA for over 4 years and typically don't post... Just have my account for Tapatalk integration and remembering my subbed threads, but I'll try to help as I can and appreciate the insights I'm finding on this particular thread.

Band 41 is the fastest band in here in Miami it's mostly every where that I've been at so it's the band that I want my phone to try and connect to as a main priority. If it's unable to connect to band 41 because of the area I am at in the moment then I would want it to connect to band 26 even though it's not optimize yet here in Miami but 10~15mbps is better for me then band 25 which is the old 1900mhz band that I'm pretty sure is still congested here in Miami.

If you want to set the priorities for your phone go into dialer and dial *#*#3282#*#* which going to sent you into a menu and choosing LTE and further in you can see what are your band priorities are set at default but you will need your MSL code which you need to contact sprint for. Oh and BTW you will need to be on a stock ROM because some of these dialer code doesn't work on AOSP/CM type ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] donfranko:
Speaking of codes not working on AOSP/CM style roms leads me to a general question here. Has anyone seen better results or more stability in regards to the incoming phone call issues on stock vs aosp/cm style roms?

I'm currently running Chroma, so I can't mess with bands, and since I took away my ability to use WiFi (thank god I live and work in Boston where my Sprint service is actually pretty good... despite my bashing of them with this issue) it appears that my calls and txt's have stabilized today. One additional thing to note on the txt front is that I did move over to Textra from Google Messenger. If it makes the most sense for me to just say screw it, and go purely stock for the time being, I will.
[Nexus 6  General] tybo31316:
I always set mine in this order band25-1, band 26-2, and band 41-3. Band 25 is the most deployed band on sprints network to date. So I enable band 25 so that I can connect to LTE faster. Once you are connected to LTE the network decides which band it wants you on based on the load on the band that you are connected to. So no matter which one you put first the network management will shift you around anyway.
[Nexus 6  General] ericwgarza1:
Every time I try to change my band priorities, my radio seems to crash and my SIM is no longer detected until I reflash a radio. Anyone else have same issue?
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
This may have quite possibly been what happened to me earlier. I changed up priorities then had no signal, tried to update profile but nothing so I rebooted and got stuck at the screen after you put in your security lock for encryption and just stayed at starting android. I ended up having to restore an image I made of 5.1e and then manually flash i again. I'm not messing with the priorities again for the time being.

[Nexus 6  General] ericwgarza1:
Yup, same scenario as me. I seem to remember that my Nexus 5 used to show a popup after making changes within the *#*#DATA#*#* menu and then force a reboot.

Question on changing the band priority. If I were to go back to stock and change it, will the setting stick once I restore back to chroma?
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
The folks that are having reboots and such are you guys enabling the band 12?
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
My issue was only after changing priorities

The Tig using Tapatalk
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
If your having it from setting the sprint band I find it to be weird but if your enabling band 12 now that I could understand because band 12 ain't for sprint and it will cause your phone to go nuts if it's you enable it.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
Nope as I said only the priorities. I checked out the area where you can enable 12 but never touched it. And as a matter of fact after I changed the priorities of 25, 26 and 41 I changed them back before I even left the data menu and then had the boot issue after the radio wouldn't refresh and I restarted the phone.

[Nexus 6  General] ericwgarza1:
I didn't enable band12 either. Only changed the band priorities.

Did anyone that pre ordered this November 14 form Sprint get a credit for the decrease in price. I have gone in circles for a week trying to get this completed. Yesterday after being on the phone for an hour trying to accomplish this the rep said that she needed to get a supervisor to accomplish this. She came back 7-10 minutes later, and said I figured out why we were unable to get this done.

You don't have a Google phone you have a Motorola phone.....therefore we can not switch the contract because you don't actually have a Google Nexus. You have a Motorola phone some how and we can not switch that because you are not suppose to have a Motorola phone. When I told her that in fact that this is a Google Nexus 6, and it was made by Motorola she said that I was not paying attention to her and that she needed to end the conversation and get someone else to help me. rofl

I then said to her that you told me that this is not a Google phone and that it was a Motorola phone that is why this price can't be swithced correct....she said yes, then I that said I heard you, but I disagree with your facts, and that's where we have issues. She said that's correct but you don't want to believe me so I can't help you if you won't accept what I am telling you.

I then said you was supposed to get your supervisor, but you came to this conlcusion about this not being a Google Nexus all on your own, and because I disagree with you you won't entertain the thought of me being right, and you being wrong so just get your supervisor, as you said you would do over a half hour ago. She then said, you should be thanking me because with out me you would not know that your problem is that you have the Motorola phone when it should be a Google phone. I then said where would I be without your infinite wisdom. Thank god I had you to clue me in to this invaluable bit of information, and proceeded to LMAO!

It seems to do this I must go to a corporate store turn in the phone, and restart another contract at the lower rate or take a credit for 49.00 and still pay the EZ pay 29.00 a month. I think that the Easiest way is to take the credit and pay 29.00 ez pay or just get it swapped out by the 5th and start over to get it priced as it should be.

It needs to be activated on the carrier's network. Activation means you will be able to use data and make calls on that carrier's network.

Yes. That's an issue on all the AOSP Roms right now. The Dev of the Pure Shamu ROM I think is working on getting that going for us Sprint folks so we can update our PRL and all that. I think it's the Pure ROM...I'd have to double check.

I've tried both on and off WiFi on all 3 revisions of 5.1 and honestly there is no rhyme or reason to calls going straight to voicemail, it happened now and then intermittently for me. I'll get maybe 7 out of 8 calls and then randomly have the problem again.

I'll also add that it happened with the 95 and 98 radios

[Nexus 6  General] donfranko:
I have now been off of WiFi since my last post and while battery life has taken a hit due to additional LTE data usage vs WiFi, I appear to be getting all of my calls and my texts appear to being sent and received with some normalcy now (via Textra). I have settled on using the 95 rev radio with my LTE set to Global on the 3/27 Chroma build.

I've seen a ton of SprintCares (ha) threads about this issue and it appears that this has been reported back since the device has dropped and the responses have been lackluster at best, which is to be expected by the read and regurgitate support folks there.

Have I reset my phone? C'mon, this isn't amateur hour, SprintCares :)

Sorry Jay :) I remember getting my first android phone (Epic 4G) and bemoaning carrying two phones. I looooooooved my Blackberry.

That lasted a month... I Bansai Rom'd that sucker and punted my BB and personal line to the curb. Been ride-or-die with Android ever since.
[Nexus 6  General] jayharper08:
Yeah. I thought I was the coolest guy ever with the BB Storm. Remember how after you updated a single app and the phone had to reboot?! And the reboot time took like 8 minutes?! Lol. My first Android was the Evo 4G. I went Windows>BB>Android. Don't see myself on anything else in the future.

[Nexus 6  General] :
Lol, I started out on Sprint with the blackberry curve 8530. Talk about the worst phone ever...every reboot was like 8 to 10 minutes and it did it all the time. I remember bringing it to a Sprint store to complain and have it looked at. They told me it was normal. Walked out with a used LG optimus that I bought outright. Thus began my Android experience.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
I just missed 5 calls in a row with wifi on. did the data reset dialer code and still no calls. turned wifi off and the first call went through... This is just getting ridiculous, fix the sms issue and now missed calls straight to voicemail is even worse than ever. I never had this problem before, only the sms problems on LTE.

Tmobile bring your own plans are looking pretty good right about now...

I live and die by my phone with my job and haven't had an issue since I made those changes the other day... At least all my employees seem to be getting ahold of me and boyyyyyyyy do they love to call me haha.

What's your setup man? (Stock ROM, radio version, etc)
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
Stock 5.1 LMY47i, 95R Radio, Unlocked and Rooted, No mods at all.

I am tempted to just flash the 98R Radio on the LMY47i build and see how it goes. I typically don't mix and match but I am kind of desperate at this point, it is embarrassing to keep missing important work related calls all the time.

For now I am leaving WiFi off unless I need to download something over uTorrent or Facebook/Instagram is too dang slow.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'm on LMY47I but stock. Absolutely have not had this issue at all.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
You should try the 98r radio won't hurt to try it never know might be good.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
I am making a nandroid backup of my full LMY47i install and then flashing the 98R radio. I will let you guys know if it is any better.

Update: Ok so far so good, I turned wifi back on and tried to call it and it went through. Hopefully it stays this way.

---------- Post added at 18:14 ---------- Previous post was at 17:36 ----------

Spoke too soon. Just waited 15 min or so and tried to call myself again with the WiFi on and no beans :mad:

Turned it off again and first call went through. Then I turned it on again and it worked, so it seems that there is some time frame issue to account for. I am going to leave the 98R radio on and just leave wifi off. I have unlimited data so i don't care, its just that LTE is no comparison to the 40ish up and down speeds i get over wifi.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:

I flashed LMY47i via fastboot a few days ago and I do not have that issue. Just to test I just called myself 6 times with WiFi on. 3 with data and WiFi on and 3 with just WiFi and all calls went through. I'd fastboot it again and see what happens. If problem is still present I'd tell them to send me another one and for free and not on insurance. Quite sure they will. Hope you get it resolved soon.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
I usually double flash. First I'll do a flash to stock using the new image, then I'll flash the second time but this time to decrypt it, and finally root it. No problems here.
[Nexus 6  General] donfranko:
That's been the issue for me. It sucks, but I am resigned to not using WiFi and if I do, I reboot.

If I keep WiFi off everything works great. Texts, MMS, and calls...

I get my desk calls forwarded to my cell so as somewhat of a litmus test, I have been letting them run just long enough to simultaneously ring the two. I didn't use WiFi once today and every desk call did just that, and I received about 20 direct calls to my cell from field people.

I'm on Chroma running the 95 radio with my network preference for LTE set to Global.
[Nexus 6  General] gr33nd3vil:
Just picked up a nexus 6 today from sprint well 2 too be honest and I noticed it keeps jumping from LTE to 3G. Am I missing a setting? Should it be on LTE or Global in settings? Sorry if I missed the thread on this hoping someone can help me out.
[Nexus 6  General] donfranko:
Welcome to our little hell :)

What you're describing, is what we have all kind of been writing about. Apparently, there is an issue with the way the radio handles LTE to 3G handoffs. Couple this with WiFi while your phone tries to get calls, and send/receive texts and all of a sudden we lose calls straight to VM.

What I posted a few posts back is my personal experience with nipping those issues. Someone (I'm mid post on tapa, so mind me for omitting names) said tried a newer stock build than what my AOSP ROM was based on, and is not experiencing missed calls or erratic txts.

When I'm in a position to flash my phone to stock and give it a whirl myself I will but it may not be until after the weekend.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I keep mine on "LTE (recommended)" and have never had this issue but I've also seen others on "global" and not have problems. Basically, it's the old Sprint crapshoot. We had a saying in the EVO 4g LTE forum: #blameSprint.

That being said, have you kept your PRL and device config updated? Also, have you tried the data reset dialer code? Probably won't help but at least we can check them off the list of simple fixes.
[Nexus 6  General] gr33nd3vil:
I don't use wifi so no worries there seems since I updated to 5.1 put it on LTE recommended and reactivated phone and updated prl it seems solid so far.
[Nexus 6  General] donfranko:
Good good. I'm just trying to not do too much at once while I see what does and doesn't work for me. Giving each step in my troubleshooting process a few days to see what does and doesn't. On Chroma ROM, Global has worked great for me in Boston.

I'm on the latest build with E and my calls and texts come through fine on and off wifi, so I think it's a tower in your area that may cause the issue as well
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
Its happened on both the 95 and 98 radio variant for me. I wouldn't be surprised if it is just a localized tower issue, I have always have wonky service issues near me but I never had problems like this with my Nexus5 or OptimusG which were both also unlocked and rooted.

Hello all, just wanted to let you know my experience so far and I live in Puerto Rico so I want to say a few things based on my experience... First, I did had the duplicate text issue back on 5.0 and 5.0.2, and no more since 5.1, regardless of build (D, I, M, H) and radio. Second, never had the no call issue while on wifi, and I almost spend more than 18 hours a day on wifi, calls, text they all come through... So, if you are experiencing no calls while on wifi, my best educated guess it's the towers in your area, just wanted to share my experience so far with the Nexus 6 here in PR...
[Nexus 6  General] gr33nd3vil:
I'm starting to think it's towers as well vs software./hardware

Well if it'd not there legacy towers then my other thought would be that Motorola botched the software for the radio.

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

Motorola has been dropping the ball lately
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Not saying you're wrong, but how can that be if it's a sprint only issue...and Motorola doesn't make the software for our phones, Google does, Motorola only makes the hardware. But all in all, the issues stopped in my area after a while and after the 5.1 E update and I've never ran into duplicate texts or missed calls since
[Nexus 6  General] gr33nd3vil:
Correct from all I have read it was Google / Motorola issues for the missed calls duplicate txts due to a bug from what I have read.

As for stuff Motorola codes the radio not Google. They just apply the fixes and updates provided from Motorola.

However I still believe it's a issue on Sprints towers and making the nexus CDMA. Sprint should just stop the bs and do sims
