I have read the forum, and I agree Nexus 6 users with this issue are irritated. All I know is what I've read on Sprint Community, XDA and the like. But from reading everything that I have, like I said, it seems the issue maybe hard to pin point, IMO given all the different causes/effects scenarios I posted.

And quite frankly I'm not educated enough in the area to even begin to understand the technical/network process flow and the like...just looking at it from a laypersons POV.

In any case I think this thread has been hijacked...maybe we should head back over to the dedicated thread.

#SprintEmployee my opinions and comments are my own, I do not speak for Sprint in any official capacity.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Not hijacked at all. This thread is open to any discussion involving the Sprint Nexus 6. :)

I switched over to using google voice this morning, used it from 9am till about 10 mins ago and I have not sent a single duplicate text. Previously, I used textra, hangout, google messenger and basically anything out there and about 1 out of every 20 texts or so that I would send was duplicated twice or a few times. Google voice works great but my issue is... How the heck do I send/receive picture messages? That's my only draw back from google voice. I text heavily everyday so the people I text constantly are getting used to my annoying duplicate texts but I'd like to get rid of it for good.
[Nexus 6  General] supasanch24:
Has anyone tried Whatsapp? Just curious
[Nexus 6  General] KelevrA_8:
Use hangouts to receive SMS and voicemail(there is a setting in hangouts for this), then you can switch between sending via SMS or via Google Voice. MMS should be sent via SMS as Google Voice doesn't support it.
[Nexus 6  General] andygu3:
I use the stock messenger app for mms messages
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
Google voice supports send/receive mms in hangouts now. I use it everyday.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
I've noticed when I use messenger to send messages and it sends fast duplicates never happen. Sometimes I send a text and it says sending for 10-30 secs or more I know it's sending multiple texts. It usually only happens when I really don't want it to. My boss or friends with iPhones.

Well, I just ordered my 64GB Midnight Blue from Moto, with a case on the way along with a Sprint nano SIM. Coming from a thoroughly cracked and frequently overheating S4, I'm fairly excited, but some part of me kind of wishes I had waited for some hands-on with an S6 before I took the plunge. I've been looking at this phone since December, though, so regardless, I'll love it, or learn to. Wish me luck, I guess. Hope the thing gets here soon.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
You'll be very happy. It's a pretty sweet phone.

HELP

im looking to purchase an AT&T Nexus 6 from clist TODAY to use on Sprint. I got a sprint nano sim and was wondering if i can activate it. I heard you give sprint the IMEI number without the last digit or something. Has anyone done this? Anything i should know? im searching and googling and havent gotten a solid answer before i drive an hour to meet this guy. thanks in advance
[Nexus 6  General] imactuallynot:
If you're already on Sprint, you only need to go online to activate, from what I've heard.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I would use caution, the AT&T model is Sim locked to AT&T. Be sure you can get it unlocked or factor in the cost of getting it unlocked. Approximately $20 online to get unlocked.
[Nexus 6  General] edisepic:
i appreciate the feedback i think im just going to get the note 4 to be safe. a buddy of mine who works for sprint ran the imei and its not showing but in the system so i think its still black listed or something
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
You'll be happy with it. My wife has a note 4 and has absolutely no issues with it. It also has a nicer screen. Even has WiFi calling which is great. Kind of wish I went with that phone.
[Nexus 6  General] fitz420:
My wife has a note 4 too. Great phone all around. I'll still take this one though. I'll never be able to accept touchwiz no matter how hard I try
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Have him run the MEID through the database, not the IMEI. The MEID is the same as the IMEI, minus the last digit. I used an AT&T-purchased Nexus 6 on Sprint at one time and Motorola has said that all Nexus 6 MEID numbers are in Sprint's database regardless of where it was purchased.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
You sir are delirious if you think the note has a nicer screen...smaller yes lol
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'll see your note 4 and raise you 5.1...eventually. Lol! :)

Hello everyone, i just bought a Motorola nexus 6 off Amazon and hope it'll work when it comes in. I'm unsure about a few things. 1. Im not sure if i can reuse my old Sim from my galaxy s5 which is active but blacklisted (was whitelisted when bought from ebay and activated, but now blacklisted because previous owner probably didn't pay or something... Still works til i swap it off my number then it is a paperweightand can't ever be activated.) and 2. If i end up getting a new sim im guessing i still have to register it with sprint, device and all? 3. Can i register my device without a sim?

:cowboy:
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
You cannot swap SIM cards between Sprint devices and even if you could, the Galaxy S5 takes a micro SIM but the Nexus 6 takes a nano.

You're going to have to get a nano SIM either by calling Sprint customer service or by visiting a corporate store that offers repair services. To Sprint, a SIM card is not a user-replaceable part.

In case you're interested in detail:

Of the four major US carriers, Sprint is the only one left who still requires that a SIM be tied to a valid device ID. The assumption is that the SIM will never need to be replaced. Hell, Nexus 5s that were purchased from Sprint didn't even include a SIM ejector tool in the box. Again, you shouldn't ever have to change it, right? haha

Most Sprint stores don't carry SIM cards unless that store offers repair services. So, unless you have one of those sites nearby, you're most likely going to have to call customer service and have them send you one.
[Nexus 6  General] jhorton014:
Samsung folds. Lol.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Hey guys i know i asked this question before not to long ago but i wanted to double check.

I have a local seller who is selling me a T-Mobile variant nexus 6 but he says it's not unlocked he only had it for 2 weeks but he honestly isn't to sure but he thinks it's not unlocked so my question is a T-Mobile variant can be activated with Sprint with no problem correct and the T-Mobile variant shouldn't be locked correct?

Also reading about this nano sim card and such I'm new to this since i never been on a GSM carrier but would i have to buy this nano sim card for the nexus 6 or should my LG G Flex has one because i see a sim tray but never was curious to open it any help would be great thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yes and yes. As for your third question, Sprint will send you a Sim for free I believe. I'm not sure if your flex has a nano Sim but I've read that they are not interchangeable between devices. Sprint won't allow it along with another carrier, AT&T I think.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Ok thanks alot gonna make the jump then, got a great deal on this device hope i enjoy it.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'm sure you will enjoy it, it's a totally awesome phone IMO. Plus, development is rocking!
[Nexus 6  General] 414isaiah:
24 hours using chomp SMS, not one duplicate yet. Try it out! Chomp handles text differently, see if it works for you.
[Nexus 6  General] Kchitown1977:
Ordered mine from Amazon. Sim card was included
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Ok guys I'm heading to get the phone but this nano sim card thing is very confusing i never dealt with it sorry but how would i go about it? I had called some sprint store and of course they started telling me that i can't and that there's no way i could connect a T-Mobile nexus device with sprint etc etc and so on.

Then the rep said that to get him the model number of the nano sim card because there's alot of different nano sim cards like seriously i got so confused that i decided to call tech support.

After dealing with tech support they say they cannot ship me a nano sim card or whatnot that what i could do is see if T-Mobile will give me a nano sim and then have sprint try to work some magic with the serial number or something.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Just lie and say you need a nano sim for another phone. Once you get it you can call Sprint and they should be able to activate. So I've heard.
[Nexus 6  General] :
+1 to this. I was going to say something similar. The nano for the isuck 6 supposedly works.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Sprint service reps on the phone don't know much. You could say my phone lit on fire and they'd say can u please do a factory reset and see if that fixes it. Hahaha.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
But would they ask me what phone? I don't know much about nano sim but I'm thinking they might ask me what kind of device it is for if there's alot of different nano sim like they said.
[Nexus 6  General] Wiley_11:
Try this. The SKU could also be SIMGLW426C. The part/item # is the same. :)

I see that Android 5.1 is coming soon, which has HD voice, does anyone know if that includes Sprint? I only seen Verizon and T Mobile mentioned.
[Nexus 6  General] hondaguy5965:
Hey guys do you'll think that the issue with the dropped calls and duplicate text will be resolved with the roll of 5.1 by sprint? I'm really hoping it will.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Fingers crossed.
[Nexus 6  General] DamienChaos:
I believe that the N6 is already HD Voice capable on the Sprint network. Although there's no visual indication to indicate HD Voice being active on the N6, my wife's G3 does indicate HD Voice being active when a call is placed/accepted to my N6, and the audio improvement does seem to be consistent with the fact that HD Voice is active on both ends. Sprint also lists HD Voice compatibility under the device's "Key Features" tab on their website ( http://www.sprint.com/landings/nexus6/ ). However, I have noticed that HD Voice does *not* work if Google Voice integration is applied to the Sprint line; but that applies to any device, irrespective of whether or not it is HD Voice capable.

This is sheer speculation, but perhaps the T-Mo/VZW HD Voice capabilities are new because their networks deliver the improved audio via LTE (VoLTE?); differing from Sprint's HD Voice service, which is carried over the legacy 3G CDMA network.

[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
I hope so. I wonder of the entire Nexus 6 update is waiting on that issue being fixed/tested before release?

[Nexus 6  General] schnergun:
I hope it fixes the text issues. I had to go back to my Note 4 until so. I really like the nexus 6 but when couldnt stand the text problem. Heres to hoping!
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
Wow, I have been having no issues with my Nexus 6 since I got it back in early December. Then yesterday morning at work I started having the issue with texts taking forever to send on LTE and data going in and out. Went home 10 minutes away and no issues all night. Come back to work and starting having the issues after being here for 20 minutes again. Switched to 3G since I am also on wifi and not having any issues. I contacted Sprint to see if there was a tower issue and explained the issues and they asked me if I had taken it in to a center to have the phone looked at for this issue. I tried to tell them it was an issue with a tower and not the phone. I got someone a little smarter and they said that the tower I am currently on at work is in their system for an update by the end of May.

I just can't believe that this started happen after having no issues for so long. So I may be wrong but I am not holding my breath that 5.1 will fix this issue.
[Nexus 6  General] guitardoc64:
5.1 won't fix the towers. I got my Nexus 6 in late December and have had no issues with multiple text even in crappy coverage areas. I'm using the stock messenger app and not Google Voice.
[Nexus 6  General] DominoDoug:
I think the issues stem from the Spark network.
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
It's got to be the device though. My wife's Note 4 has never done it once and my Nexus 6 sends duplicates once in awhile in teh same area.
[Nexus 6  General] Kurupt1:
Don't know how your so sure of yourself, or how you came to that conclusion. good to know it works for you?
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
The device definitely has radio issues that should get fixed in this update. I'm current using the phone in Indonesia and when traveling in a car the rapid hand offs between towers (they're incredibly dense here) causes the phone to lose cellular connectivity after about an hour. The only fix is to reboot. Turning on airplane mode and turning it off triggers a forced reboot. The modem in its current state is very buggy.
[Nexus 6  General] nickmilla15:
Hi guy and gals! So, I'm new to the nexus 6. The one I'm using right now is defective, but its getting replaced tomorrow. I've only owned htc devices before, (Evo LTE, M7 and M8) but the M9 left me a bit disappointed. I'm excited to join the community, and cannot wait to see what this is all about! I have some questions though: I'm looking for a rom that has lots of features. Lots of customization, built in themes, heads up for every app, actionable heads up notifications, and something for multitasking. I don't think there's any split screen multitasking solutions out yet, but do any roms have halo built it? I realize this seems like a noob question, and I suppose I am a noob in respect to this device. Thanks in advance, and if any teams are looking for a tester/someone with Android experience, I'm here, and was apart of some notable HTC development teams ?
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
The advice I can give you is you is to stick with your OEM ROM. Root the phone and get some tweaks, aka kernel, going. That is all you need. I think the best kernel is the one made by franko. Stock toms ate usually the safest and least buggy
[Nexus 6  General] mrgwap:
Hey guys is the a sprint app where we can pay our bill from the app? I don't see anything on the play store that can do that from sprint
[Nexus 6  General] jimbobcooterrooter:
Sprintzone is not available for the Nexus 6. I pay on mobile by using Chrome and Sprint.com

Or you can call *3. I haven't tried with the Nexus but I don't know why *3 wouldn't work.

So, am I going to need to run a stock rom to benefit from the SMS fix, or once flashed can I switch roms? I assume the fix is baked into the Sprint firmware not ASOP.
[Nexus 6  General] fitz420:
Alright.....just checking in. All SMS related issues seem like they are fixed on 5.1 here. I literally could NEVER send a SMS over LTE without a delay of over a minute. My workaround was always to switch to 3g if I was in a time sensitive SMS conversation. All seems fixed now.
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
I have flashed only the radio and am still on 5.02 and the SMS issue seems to be gone. I think you'll be fine on AOSP since the fix appears to be in the radio. Just make sure to use the new radio. (I assume the radio is the same in AOSP right? I guess I'm not sure but if it is you're good)

I sent 10 messages to myself on LTE and 10 while on LTE and connected to WiFi. They all went through immediately and with no duplicates texts.

[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
if you swap phones online it gives it to you, otherwise, no real way to get it outside of talking to them, they're pretty good about it, just flat out ask for it or just tell them you needed to factory reset the phone and it asked for a code

P.S. whenever you upgrade phones (swapping online) write your code down! never know when you'll need it
[Nexus 6  General] jayharper08:
You could also call them and tell them you need it for developing purposes. I've done it a couple times. Just tell them your developing an app and you need it for testing. (This is the MSL code I'm talking about.) ;)

Really? Anything special you're doing, because when I enabled band 12 and swapped around the priorities for b26,25 and 41, my radio would crash and only stay in emergency mode no sim mode until I re-flashed the 5.1 radio to get the defaults back

Can I get some feedback about sprint , how has your service been. I am considering making the change from AT&T.
[Nexus 6  General] _Dennis_:
I had sprint. I had service almost everywhere, calls were good (clear), but even on LTE I was getting only about 3-7 Mbps down.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
had sprint for going on 8 years now, it's amazing for the price, granted check the coverage for your area and surrounding areas as that will make the difference before you switch, out here in PA sprint is pretty good, people just still have the sprint is crap mentality though, so it doesn't help with spreading the good word, but I get LTE almost everywhere, speeds are sufficient for my needs with higher speeds to come, call quality is amazing and customer service is great (even though I rarely have to call them for anything really). So I would say make the switch when you find out the coverage for your area and having unlimited everything makes having a smartphone useful instead of a hassle (data limits with verizon and at&t). and lastly, my sig should answer any other questions,lol
