The proximity sensor issue has been resolved on newer custom ROM builds by mikeyxda by reverting some vendor files to ones in 5.0.1. Most custom ROM builders have picked up his commits and the issue has gone away.

Didn't happen on 5.0 and 5.0.1. Happens on 5.1... That's a code issue.

Also the radio issue is very much real.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...-sim-cards-are-having-issues-receiving-calls/

From most of what I've read it has to do with the towers, how LTE to 3G handoff is performed by them, and the antenna in the phone itself. When you use WiFi it goes absolutely bananas.

With that said, I've done the trials in Boston... I am now a week in without using WiFi and I get all my calls and txts.

I turned on my WiFi a second ago and had my girlfriend, who is 2 inches from me, call from ATT iPhone... Straight to VM.

Do u guys have a spark icon or just LTE icon
[Nexus 6  General] :
There's no spark icon on Nexus 6. You will only see LTE.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
im going to try spark today for the first time. Need to visit family and they have spark in the area. my regular lte speed has been anywhere from 5-8mb
[Nexus 6  General] mrjeff2:
I thought the issues were pretty specific to equipment issued to Sprint by certain hardware vendors. This is why the issues seemed to be market specific. I also thought it was pretty obvious it was a Google/Motorola issue as they are the ones who code the radio for the Nexus. The radio is what is misbehaving., otherwise, every phone connecting to those towers would be experiencing the same issues which we know is not the case. If other phone vendors can get it right, no reason why Motorola can't either.

I haven't had any issues however since the 5.1 update.
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
I'm going to say this is market specific as well because I'm had this issue as well. I'm in new Orleans.
[Nexus 6  General] iainaaldrich:
I have had the issue, but only on WiFi. In multiple locations in Massachusetts.
[Nexus 6  General] kmmxracer:
This is a real bummer. My LTE is crazy slow at my house and pretty much all the places I spend most of my time. I guess I'll just have to turn off wifi when I'm expecting an important call. I'm in Phoenix, AZ and Sprint need some serious upgrades here
[Nexus 6  General] harvickgm:
I have done a few search's and havent come up with many results relating to what I am looking for. So have any of you guys actually made changes to your LTE settings using your MSL number?

If so what changes have you made? and notice any difference? I just notice that stock it has LTE scan set to 5 mins, and to me thats an incredibly long time between LTE scans.

and also what is the BSR Timer and BSR Max TIme do?

thanks guys
[Nexus 6  General] :
Go back 4 or 5 pages in this thread. Some users have made changes, though not all received the results that were intended.

I've been using Chroma since I picked up the phone though I'm tempted to start trying others.
[Nexus 6  General] iainaaldrich:
I've tried out several ROMs now and Chroma is easily the best. Then maybe Euphoria. A lot of similar ROMs with similar features out there but none as stable as Chroma, or just staying on stock.

You could, but no guarantees that will solve it. I'm running LMY47I and haven't had any problems at all. I think most users that have, tend to believe it is most likely Sprint towers that are causing it.

Have you tried the data dialer reset code from the OP? Updated PRL and user config?
[Nexus 6  General] :

Thoughts on this? Is this a good move by Sprint or just another marketing ploy to try to take the momentum away from T-Mobile?

Yes I've tried those steps. I read in another thread about a custom radio.

Since rooting unlocking and running hydra kernel on stock rom I've had nothing but good luck with the phone now.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
Well I just wanted to comment that I am running LMY47i with the 98R radio and haven't had an issue since turning off my WiFi. I may double flash again this weekend as suggested to test it out again but as many others have stated it might just be a local issue with the towers near me in which case I am out of luck.

Here are the combinations I have used WITH WiFi ON and had missed/straight to voicemail calls:

(No missed calls existed before 5.1.0, only the sms problem which is now gone for me both on and off WiFi)

LMY47D - 95R Radio

LMY47E - 98R Radio

LMY47I - 95R Radio

LMY47I - 98R Radio
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
That is odd. Haven't had any missed calls on 95R on any build. Currently LMY47I, leave my wifi on all the time

[Nexus 6  General] supasanch24:
I tried all three. My APNs are fine. It still force closes when i click on carrier settings while on Chroma. The phone functions perfectly otherwise. Oh well no biggie
[Nexus 6  General] :
Sorry I couldn't help.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Here's what I do.:

-MultiROM your device.

-In your Primary, load a vanilla rooted stockish ROM that has PRL/carrier settings that work. Make sure you flash it to have a MultiROM kernel.

-In your secondary ROM use whatever you want AOSP or what have you.

-Set MultiROM to default boot your secondary unless you intervene

Now you can do whatever you want in your secondary ROMs. When you want to update PRLs or what have you, just MultiROM boot your Primary slot backup ROM....when done, reboot back to your DD secondary ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] supasanch24:
Thanks for the advice!
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
That's normal for aosp ROMs. You cannot update prl on those kind of ROMs only way is to go back to a stock update prl them nandroid your backup.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Multirom is more convenient than nandroiding by a long shot.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Which ever floats your or his boat point is you can't update prl on aosp/cm ROMs it always been like that that I know of.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Ahh yes, I'm brought back to my days on the OG evo when this was the norm.
[Nexus 6  General] KenpoAP:
Settings - more - celular networks - carrier settings - update prl... I'm stock... Even out of the box this was available... Why you guys keep saying you cannot update prl in aosp??? (stock is aosp)
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Nope. Aosp has no option for it. Sprint is the only carrier that does it this way I think.
[Nexus 6  General] KenpoAP:
Maybe the correct term should be "custom aosp roms"... Maybe I'm mistaken...
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Yes custom aosp/cm ROMs only.

Start reading from page 4 somewhere in the middle till the next page. They have a conversation and opinions about why stock is not really aosp they are both different just a lil bit which I did find the conversation interested but one of the guy did have a point on not being able to get the aosp browser apk and using it on non custom stock ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
Stock and aosp are definitely not the same
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
I guess folks tend to get confused with both being pure vanilla, but that's all that they have when it comes to being the same, is that they are both pure vanilla but besides that stock vanilla and aosp vanilla are not the same.
[Nexus 6  General] ericwgarza1:
I was thinking the same thing. I had an OG Evo as well. Hell I even had an HTC Diamond way back in the day :silly:. I know someone figured out a fix for this a while ago but nothing seems to be implemented for our device yet. Not having carrier settings is the only reason I don't use AOSP roms yet. I hate having anything force close on my phone. Drives my OCD nuts.
[Nexus 6  General] KelevrA_8:
Before android 5.0 most if not all AOSP ROM's had prl/profile working. Don't know what possibly changed that it is no longer possible, but you're right. I stick with stock ROM's for this sole reason.
[Nexus 6  General] angiest:
This is what I do, except my DD is Chroma in the Internal slot.

Way back when I had a NS4G I could update PRL and profile from AOSP ROMs. When I made the move to the SGS4 and finally installed an AOSP ROM on it, I was shocked that there was no ability to update the PRL, without jumping back to TouchWiz every so often. MultiROM is a better solution than attempting to restore nandroids (which I've had fail every once in awhile. Still, would be nice if that functionality could be restored to AOSP. Internal space is precious on this device and at least the stock ROM I have is a bit too large for my needs.
[Nexus 6  General] ericwgarza1:
I believe some Java code had to be edited on the AOSP ROM side to get update PRL/Profile working previously. At least thats what I recall when I looked at the commits on GitHub or whatever. When this device first came out, someone linked the commits that were previously used to get it working but it didn't seem to get any traction. I'll see if I can dig them up but no promises. My internet kung fu has grown weak...:laugh:

[Nexus 6  General] HaiKaiDo:

No, not yet anyway.. That's what they're trying to do above.. To get a dev to make happen. (Fingers crossed..) :sly:
[Nexus 6  General] angiest:
Apparently no. I tried to see if zephiK would add it to Chroma. To put it succinctly he said no. And it is more than extracting the SprintDM apk and putting it in priv-app. That's the limit of my knowledge.
[Nexus 6  General] zanoli99:
I find through testing same radio with stock vs aosp rom that signal strength and speed tests very greatly. I'm in san antonio and know it probably varies by location but it seems the sprint dm impacts which is what discussion about incorporating above seeks to address.

Hello all. I'm thinking of getting a Nexus 6 and I have a question. I've been with Sammy since the S1 and there's always been different forums for different carriers, this I don't see here. What's the process for finding a compatible

ROM?
[Nexus 6  General] angiest:
There are no vendor-specific variants of this phone. All ROMs are compatible. And this is probably the easiest phone (Nexus line in general) to root and install custom ROMs on. I activated my phone around 6PM, got in front of a laptop about 3 hours later and was running a third party ROM before I went to bed. No Odin, only adb and fastboot required.
[Nexus 6  General] Eris _2.1_2010:
Sounds nice and easy. I just picked up a Note 4 and I'm not liking the development scene. Figure I'll pick up a Nexus 6. I'm still not sure if I'll like not having an sd card slot. I guess y'all are using OTG for that.

[Nexus 6  General] tatoniss:
So I have a quick question. In the past if I set the phone to LTE only mode it would report the phone had no signal and I believe it would constantly search. I remember reading somewhere that one of the new 5.1 radios allows you to set LTE only mode and it won't search and shows you have signal in battery stats. I'm not sure if it actually drains battery or not but would be nice to try. So did I read wrong or does one of the new radios allow this?

...and always did on hammerhead too. Tks guys!! Good that its now in the op so other Sprint people can locate it easily. :thumbsup:

On another note I had no signal a few times today. Then 3g only. I thought maybe it was something I had flashed that caused it so I fastbooted LMY47I firmware again and wiped entire phone and still no dice. About three hour ago LTE came on and its been fine since. I checked sprint map to see if there was work being done in the area and nope.. Weird.

[Nexus 6  General] :
Oh, I agree 100%, trust me. It's like when we had the text message bug before 5.1, everyone was quick to put the blame solely on Sprint. While it was partly their fault, it was also a software issue. I've been with Sprint for almost 8 years, after using big red and the evil empire. By far, Sprint's customer service has been superior. They've bent over backwards to keep me happy. When I lived in a poor service area, they gave me the airave for free. I've never had a problem with returning faulty devices either. The nearest Sprint store is an hour drive, and with that being the case, they've always just sent me a new device and had me send the defective one back, no questions asked.

[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Band 12 is not for sprint so it won't do anything but maybe restart your phone and when you check again it will be disabled still because it's not a sprint band.

I thought my sim bit it as well. Ha! Thank God it didn't!!

I live in the city, and work close by it... so while my battery takes a little more of a hit drawing data down over LTE vs WiFi, this is how I'm rolling until the issue is officially squashed by the aforementioned parties. I've searched far and wide, and what I'm doing seems to be all that can be done for those of us having the problem, unless of course, you get another phone.
[Nexus 6  General] donfranko:
It's also interesting to note that Google unveiled their MVNO service today which piggybacks T-Mobile and Sprint and it's exclusive for the time-being to Nexus 6 users. I'm hoping this means they've figured out this delightful little hand-off bug.
