Check out the messenger asop app that was just posted in the themes and apps forum. It's much better than the google messenger.

MMS works in both apps, but cellular data must be turned on. For some reason I can't download them on WiFi, but if mobile data is enabled in the background, then there is no problems.

Another sprint issue is that most people are receiving multiple copies of the same SMS.

Has anyone gotten tethering (hotspot) to work? If so, which method or Rom? I would like to tether on stock but can't get it to work. I have added the line to build prop, and it loads up and turns on. I can connect to it, but it will not transfer data. I tried with secured and unsecured connections. Any help would be great.
[Nexus 6  General] atuarre:
Does anyone know if there is a way to select which band(s) you are connecting to or is that not an option?
[Nexus 6  General] :
As far as I know, it is not an option.
[Nexus 6  General] Caveman419:
I can create a hotspot from my stock nexus 6. My tablet and laptop connect to it just fine and I have data on both. I have not had to do anything to my nexus 6 other than set up the Wi-Fi hotspot. I have a 64Gb one from the Play Store. I am using WPA2 PSK ofr the security.
[Nexus 6  General] stebomurkn420:
I just switched to sprint picking up the N6... I went with the 60$ unlimited plan... I have searched everywhere without being able to find a clear and definite answer! Lol..... Is the data truly unlimited? What are some monthly data use averages you guys are reaching in a month? Has anyone experienced any throttling? From what I gathered on several forums is that sprint will throttle if need be. If there is a congested area the top 5% of data users will be throttled until the network clears up a little? Is this true? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! My N6 should be here tomo so I will be able to start testing myself.

P.S. on Verizon I was averaging between 50-100Gb per month... Hope I can do the same with sprint!!!!
[Nexus 6  General] Micronads:
I have used close to 40gig a month with no noticeable throttle.
[Nexus 6  General] KB112:
I don't know about the individual plans, but I've had no issues on our family plan. I have an unlimited data plan and I average less than 10gb a month. But my son uses 30-45gb a month with no issue.
[Nexus 6  General] skanndelus:
Can anyone confirm if this works?
[Nexus 6  General] Mistertac:
Well I didn't stay long enough on M to keep testing it but I was getting calls while on WiFi. Whether that was what fixed it or it was a coincidence I'm not sure.
[Nexus 6  General] Cheater912:
I haven't had a call pushed directly to voicemail yet on M (24 hours). Nearly all of my calls would go right to voicemail when connected to WiFi on L. Crossing my fingers...
[Nexus 6  General] enyce9:
Those having missed incoming calls when connected to WiFi and LTE. If users don't report this issue this will never get resolved, call sprints executive # and report it. Be very specific, let them know when WiFi and LTE are connected at the same time.

The phone # on the better business bureau website will get you to executive customer service.

What recovery comes stock on the Sprint Nexus 6 ?

When i press power and down volume to boot recovery i get the laying droid when i scroll volume to and choose Recovery mode I get error msg 'No Command' whats that about does that mean no recovery is installed ?

I never really used anything except CWM is ClockworkMod even supported in 5.1.1 ?
[Nexus 6  General] Kchitown1977:
While on android laying down press power then the volume up while still holding power and you should see it options
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Yeah that actually worked but it didn't help me do what I'm trying to do I'm just trying to figure out how to flash my New stock Nexus 6 with below link LED control app

The only app i have any experience flashing with is CWM I'm not sure if its even supported on the N6 with 5.1.1

So I'm simply trying to figure out what app to use and how to get it done on my N6 is all

[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Well you need to install a custom recovery first which is twrp recovery for this device. Look in the development thread there's forums for newbies that just got the device I suggest reading a bit before you mess up your device.
[Nexus 6  General] Cheater912:
No good. It happened again
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
The more that I think about it, I completely agree.

I think that we all should complain.

While I have been satisfied so far using work-arounds, it is stupid that this has not yet been fixed.

If you do a quick Google search, you will see that this problem has been going on since the phone was released, and it is stupid that the problem hasn't been fixed.
[Nexus 6  General] enyce9:
The problem will never be addressed, if nobody knows there is a problem.
[Nexus 6  General] Bjandthekatz:
What is the stock radio shipped with the phone? Had great speeds on that but can't seem to find relatable speeds on the current radios I can find.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Several people have complained on the Sprint Community with no response from Sprint.
[Nexus 6  General] enyce9:
I called multiple times aswell. The link to the executive number will get you past front line customer service, where you will get absolutely nowhere. If you want this issue fixed, the only way is, to report the problem. The more people that report, the higher the chances that this issue will finally be fixed. I encourage you and others to call that number and report. If executive doesnt know there is a problem no one will look into the issue. I don't know about you but I'm tired of toggling settings on my phone the get the service I'm paying for.
[Nexus 6  General] stebomurkn420:
Any of you guys running jdx 3.0.3 m preview able to get WiFi tethering properly working? I can connect but no internet. Tried adding line to sq database and build prop, no victory. Please and thank you
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
Just FYI... All Tethering is Against the Sprint TOS unless you have a Sprint Tethering Plan.
[Nexus 6  General] stebomurkn420:
And so is rooting and ROMing your phone sir/ma'am
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
Actually...nope...it Voids the Warranty...but Rooting and ROMimg is not against the Sprint TOS

Rooting and ROMimg is, however, against the Verizon Wireless TOS (mostly because the are a bunch of jerks)
[Nexus 6  General] stebomurkn420:
You're wrong...

I'll be joining in on the nexus fun in a day or two! A little late I know, as the new nexuses ( nexi? Lol ) will be out in a few months. Nevertheless I'm excited!
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
Just my opinion, but I highly recommend getting the 2014 Motorola Nexus 6. It is a premium device, and a lot better looking than any of the planned 2015 Nexus devices.

Also, with the new 2015 Nexus devices coming out, you should be able to get the 2014 Motorola Nexus 6 for a decent price.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Called Sprint and they are going to open a network ticket and call me back in 72 hours.

Yeah right.

They really want to blame my device for this. It can't be a problem with Sprint's network. And there's no way I'll bring my phone to one the fools at their service centers.
[Nexus 6  General] enyce9:
Did you call executive? I dropped my previous nexus off at a corporate location, to be sent to product development, as instructed by executive. They are looking into this issue. That's why I am asking users to call in to executive and report. The more complaints they get from us the better chance of an actual fix.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Do you have a phone number for executive services? I had one but it's going to the main call center.

Anyway, got a text from ticket support to call. First rep was completely clueless. His supervisor said that it's a known issue and it's being worked on by Motorola and Sprint. Why all the reps don't know that I don't understand.

I'm fine with staying on 3G but I'll be leaving when my Nexus is paid off. Probably to Project Fi but who knows since that's not until 2017.
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
I just sent you a PM with the number to the Sprint Executive Services number.
[Nexus 6  General] miller2300:
Why dont you unlock your nexus and take it somewhere else?? You not stuck with Sprint if it's unlocked.
[Nexus 6  General] enyce9:
I don't know about the others but I have multiple lines on Sprint and am not looking to switch my one nexus line to another carrier. I also have a Google FI sim and was going to try Google FI out for a Month or two, but the missing calls issue seems to be affecting FI customers as well because FI uses Sprint for coverage.
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
Personally, I have been a long time Sprint customer, and I actually like Sprint. As I stated previously, the problems with receiving calls while on WiFi, at least for me, is a minor annoyance, as long as I can use the work-around of toggling to 3G.

It is just something that I would like Sprint to fix.
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
Does anyone know how to write a custom PRL to this phone?

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Because I've gotta pay off the Nexus 6 before I switch. And that's not until 2017. Personally, if I could pay it off now, I would be leaving for Project Fi.

I haven't called executive services yet, but heard back from the tower ticket people. Told me to take it in for service. I said no, the service centers in my area are terrible. Got a supervisor who said that Sprint is aware of the issue and is working on a solution. Asked why reps don't know that was told that because it's not listed in the system has a known issue because there's no permanent solution. Makes no sense to me.

He said he's only talked to a handful of people who have had the issue. When I asked him how we can get the information to them, he suggested calling and asking them to open a network ticket in there area. Bringing it into the service center does nothing. He had a tech in the service center had the same issue.

I think that a solution has to be coming, especially with Project Fi being on Sprint networks.
[Nexus 6  General] xTmDarren:
I have Project FI.. Yeah it works great! But it sucks to worry about data. :( Which luckily I'm on wifi 80 percent of my work days, so that isn't a big deal. But When I go out of town the bill really starts to add up.

Truthfully all sprint has to do is add WIFI Calling and it would be a quick fix for this issue. BC then we could stay on LTE and when were on WIFI it would switch to that for incoming and outgoing calls.. Problem solved..

Also I still have the Zero plan.. So it's kinda hard for me to leave sprint..
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
This is the reason I wouldn't even consider Fi because at the end of the day that bill really adds up if your not always on WiFi. Their price is really retarded heck I rather stay with Sprint with my unlimited everything for $60 bucks a month not including taxes. What's the starting rate for Fi $25 and then every GB for $10 bucks each? Lol I wouldn't even think about it unless I was in a plan that wasn't unlimited and my services was really bad with that specific carrier.
[Nexus 6  General] guitardoc64:
It's $20+$10 a gig for data. The good is they credit for unused data.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
Personally I had the calling issue on Sprint. I flashed the latest and greatest Fi Rom in its entirety, no saving of user data or anything then swapped in the Fi SIM, got activated and I haven't had a single issue since. Best decision I could have made plus I'll probably get $20 back each month from how little I am actually on LTE now

As I said in the post right before this, I just switched to Fi from a Sprint Sero 500 plan and I have no regrets at all. I am always curious what everyone does on their phone to be so worried about data usage. I had been using LTE only for several months because of the calling issue and the most I ever accumulated was 5gb in one month because I downloaded a movie or two, otherwise it was under 3gb with never being on WiFi. With WiFi now I barely use 10mb a day

[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Everyone has different uses for their phones. I mean, we did pay a pretty penny for them, why not get the most out of them. Also we pay for the data right? Why not use it, that's the thing I don't understand but at the same time understand how the cell companies brainwash people into using wifi and being "scared" to use a lot of data. So you're basically giving them some free money because you don't use data and have wifi everywhere, well if that's the case, wouldn't it be logical to just have no data at all? I mean, the smartphones will technically function without it (even though carriers will make you think otherwise). So I don't think it's more of what we do with the phones, more so we are actually using what we paid for, which is never a bad thing.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
I fully agree and I think my main point was that I was finally able to take full advantage of the phone now that basic features aren't hindered by network issues. I'm all for using data that you are already paying for which is why I'm so excited about Fi and getting paid back for what you don't use. I have never used much because I am constantly in WiFi environments due to my job so this is the perfect plan for me. I always felt kind of guilty with my Sero plan not using it to its full extent anyway [emoji106]

[Nexus 6  General] Mistertac:
I work on the road, and I play Pandora an Play Music mostly everyday. You'd be suprised how quickly you chew up data streaming music. I am usually in the 20-50 gb area for data usage.

I love the idea of Fi, even got my Fi Sim and a Welcome Kit lol but for how much they wack you for data I could never use Fi.

Unlimited Data FTW!
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
I use the crap out of my data but not like many others I seen that would achieve 50gig~100gig in a month which is crazy but I do know I would maybe go over 10gig a month which 10gig * $10 = $100 + the $20 so a total of $120 on Fi. That's not great at all for me when I pay $60+ for unlimited like seriously do the math.

Fi is only great for folks that doesn't use alot of data and are constantly on WiFi as for me the only time I'm on WiFi is when I'm at home but at my job their WiFi sucks badly so I have to use my data and we'll everywhere I go I use data because honestly I have unlimited so in my mind I'm not thinking or being worried about data like some folks that are not unlimited. Until Sprint doesn't take out unlimited I'm going to take advantage of it and not sit here worrying about data caps and paying more $ for more data.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Actually, I just got Wi-Fi at home, so my data use is going to go down dramatically.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

Finally got though to Sprint Executive Services. Sadly, rep didn't really seem to give a damn. She said that they would do a "pinpoint" whatever that is. Other questions were blown off, she really wouldn't answer them.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Exactly I mean it all depends on how people use their device. For example I just recently moved to a new place and finished unpacking this past Friday. Luckily for me I have good Sprint coverage in that area and I had to go back to a lollipop rom for tethering because Comcast my cable/internet provider won't be installing my services till the 8th which is next week.

Luckily for me having an android phone I was able to tether my 2 little girls iPad so they wouldn't be bored and I was also able to tether our apple TV so we can use kodi and watch/stream movies and shows which at least it's a life saver until they hook up our service. So I can just imagine how much data I'm going to be racking up this whole week lol luckily for unlimited.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Is there anyway to force this phone to stick on band 41 instead of switching to 26? Band 26 is bad for me but when I go outside it picks up band 41 instantly.

Anyone else noticing reception is horrible and switching from 3g, to lte, and back, etc? If i turn airplane mode on and off it goes to strong lte when I have 3g for example. Very annoying
[Nexus 6  General] :

[Nexus 6  General] fleebailey33:
PureNexus, so it has all the sprint support. using the latest radio

If I understand correctly what you mean, I have seen that a few times when coming from WiFi to Sprint data, but I just toggle Airplane Mode, and my Nexus 6 connects to the Sprint data.

Question if I have a sim card from sprint active and put it on Nexus 6 from amazon the phone should start to work or I need to call sprint
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
I can't find it in Pure Nexus. Does it fix the issue with not getting calls on LTE on Wi-Fi?
[Nexus 6  General] raptoro07:
No, you will have to get the phone activated through Sprint.
[Nexus 6  General] iil:
Here is a workaround that may work for you.

Use conditional forwarding to forward your calls to Google voice for voicemail. This forwards your calls to hangouts when there is no answer/busy. Then downloaded hangouts, the hangouts dialer, and click the checkbox under settings in hangouts to have it ring in hangouts on the Nexus.

With this setup., my phone will ring in either hangouts or through the native phone when I'm connected to WiFi. I'm assuming the calls that ring in hangouts are ones that I would normally be missing but my testing is pretty limited at the moment.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
I'll have to get a Google Voice number and try that. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] iil:

Whats the best way to backup before you root or in stall TWRP so you have a complete backup to recover from if you need to ?
[Nexus 6  General] JohnnyMontana_:
I think there is an option for backup in the Nexus Toolkit.
[Nexus 6  General] :
New PRL:

55029
[Nexus 6  General] :
The normal process is to install TWRP first and make a full backup of stock. You can backup personal data to PC beforehand because installation of TWRP requires an unlocked bootloader, which will wipe all your data.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Exactly So what i want to do is make a complete backup before I attempt to install TWRP so if anything happens to go wrong i can just restore and I'm nothing lost then once I have TWRP installed I can do A clean stock backup also

Also trying to figure out the best way to restore my apps data setting and importantly preferences so after I install the custom rom I can just restore and be good to go

I never rooted a Nexus before and I'm not feeling to sure of myself so trying to get all my info straight before I attempt it

The phone is like brand new and using it for bizness would suck bad if I mess it up
[Nexus 6  General] :
You can try Helium, from the play store. Otherwise, there's no way to take a nandroid without a custom recovery. This is why most Nexus users unlock the bootloader before setting up anything else on the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Whats my best option to do a complete backup of the factory rom along with all apps now before I unlock and get wiped ?

A safe backup that will allow me to restore to where I am now if i decide to and have that backup to restore if i need to bring it back to its original state ?
[Nexus 6  General] :
You can't. Not without custom recovery, like I said. For what you want to do, you need TWRP. You can only back up data at this point. Flash TWRP, make a backup of stock, then go crazy.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Thanks for the reply

Have you ever tried helium how does the Toolkit compare as a back up option ?
