Maybe you were using Hangouts for voice over the data connection during those times?

I assure you it's not physically possible to make a voice call using Sprint and maintain LTE at the same time. There is only a single antenna, it's either connected to CDMA or LTE, it can't do both at the same time.

You can find tons of reports of other people asking this same question for any phone that has come out since the Galaxy S4. Single band LTE phones had 2 antennas, which allowed LTE while on a voice call. Some early LTE devices had 2 modems as well, which allowed simultaneous voice and 3G data. But all Spark devices have a single antenna to reduce complexity and improve battery life. The modem that is used only supports a single path antenna.

[Nexus 6  General] :
Yes, it is possible to use data and be on a call when on WiFi.

Is there any fix for the texting issues? Half the time when I try to send it fails. I need to turn airplane mode on then off to get it to send. Very annoying.
[Nexus 6  General] SP_Kenny:
I think most of us are just leaving the phone set to 3g when doing a lot of texting

At home I leave it in 3g and am hooked to my wireless.

When I am driving I switch over to LTE for music streaming since I don't text while driving

Check out the Clean ROM in my sig if you guys want your tethering to work :)

I called a metric boat-ton of Sprint stores in LA before finally finding one that had it in stock - 300 S Broadway in downtown LA. I'd try calling them and see if they still have some in stock if you're near that location.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Just to verify, for the one's having texting issues, are you using hangouts or messenger or is it a bug with both apps? I was having the slow to send and double text bug with Google messenger but since switching to hangouts it's gone.
[Nexus 6  General] hondaguy5965:
Nice but that didn't work for me.
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
Taking forever to send over LTE happens with me using 8SMS from the play store. I don't think I have issues with people getting double texts. However, if I have a message that says it failed to send it usually worked but I have no way to verify it unless the other person responds or I see their phone. At first I was sending the message again in those cases I but have been told they received the message twice so now I ignore it when it says it did not send unless it is super important and it seems like most time they are actually getting the message.

I don't have hangouts installed.

I cant check right now but wasn't hangouts a core app - ie: On stock ROM you can uninstall the updates but not hangouts itself?

Hangouts Dialer is a separate install even though it is "part" of hangouts now

Yes - Texting on LTE is crap - first text goes through smooth then after the 2nd out going text or the person I am texting with replies it all goes to crap. I set my phone to 3g when I am out of the house and getting ready to fire off a text

Separate but related topic

I have been using GM (for the rest of this post GM = Google's Messenger) as my main text app (Messenger is set as the default SMS app on the phone ) and Google Voice as my voice mail (full Google voice integration with my sprint cell number) on my phone with text and voice mail set to show up in hangouts as well. I prefer Google Messenger for straight texting

I also have Hangouts and Hangouts dialer on my Nexus 7 (reason being as I can swap between the tablet and the phone for either phone calls or text)

Up until last Wednesday this was working OK - I could send and receive text messages Via GM and have it mirrored in Hangouts.

Starting Thursday I could send out on GM on my phone but all replies cam back only in Hangouts. The only change I had made was Thursday morning I had done a Cellphone (Sprint) Device config and PRL update

Today (Friday) I see there was hangouts update. Maybe the change on Thursday was Google made a back end change in preparation for today's update?

Does anyone else run a similar setup and have experienced the same situation.

I tried to disable sms text in hangouts but that is an account linked setting and not a device = with it disabled in hangouts / setting via the phone it disables it on the tablet as well

With it disabled in Hangouts Google Messenger works correctly

My above situation happens regardless of connection type - Wfi/LTE/3g

Apparently some sprint stores got a shippment today because this morning the website showed all stores were out of stock but now it's showing 5 with the Nexus 6 in stock. First thing in the morning im going to claim my bounty.
[Nexus 6  General] The Peanut Master:
Awesome, but be aware of the texting issues while LTE is enabled, which affects all Sprint Nexus 6 devices. If you can live without LTE or texting it's not an issue, but if you want working SMS you'll have to disable LTE entirely. Sprint has completely and utterly screwed the pooch on getting this fixed, so there's no telling when the problem will be rectified. If you aren't desperate for a new phone, it might be worth waiting until we get some clarity on when this will be fixed.
[Nexus 6  General] SP_Kenny:
Makes you wonder where the future lays with the next crop of phones and Sprints LTE - is Sprint going to get further behind or are the next gen phones going to make a change so they don't fall into the Nexus 6 / Sprint LTE trap :eek:
[Nexus 6  General] T3CHW0LF:
Thanks for the heads up.

[Nexus 6  General] SP_Kenny:
I know this was talked about last month in this thread (I did a search for Global settings in this thread) but found an interesting read today - which is also a bit dated but I think still relevant to where Sprint is and issues we are seeing with the Nexus 6.

I also came across a post in the Nexus 5 forum section HERE that touched on the difference between the global and LTE settings

The folks at s4gru.com covered how Sprint picked up their 3 LTE bands and how their system worked (or failed to work) with connectivity and fall back

I went to a sprint store on Friday, and they had one in stock. I said I will take it. But then he told me that I would have to have the actual person there to sign for it, who's name the account is in. To put it on payments. I said but I am listed on the account to be able to make changes, and it is in my daughters name. He said it didn't matter. Just 2 weeks ago I bought a note 4 and put it on payments in that same store. But this guy wouldn't do it. Not even if I called my daughter. She had 3 young kids at home, and no way I was going to ask her to drag them out in the cold. So I went online and ordered one. But now, still waiting, and it hasn't been shipped yet.

Oh it's definitely not fixed lol been dealing with this issue where I live way before I had the Nexus.

I was on Verizon prior to this but my girlfriend still had Sprint and I'd get her text many many times... Kind of just got used to it.

Although I do feel bad for those who may text for their jobs, because getting a message like 10 times in a row is a little annoying to say the least and unprofessional.

I ordered and received my Nexus 6 from Google. I got the Google version (if that makes a difference). It did not come with a nano sim card. I've gone to 3 different places and not one of them has had the sim card. What card do I need and where can I get it?!?!
[Nexus 6  General] ilostmypistons:
Tell them you want a nano sim for a iPhone 6.
[Nexus 6  General] car_lost:
Well, if you do the Sprint Chat, they will send it to you. Not sure of any other way to get it.

I read that you can use the same one as the iPhone 6 and 6+, but that's supposedly what the Best Buy store gave me and it didn't work. The SKU on the one they gave me is SIMGLW406R.

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

I did at Best Buy and they gave me one that didn't end up working.

At the Sprint store, they said that they only come with the phone and they don't sell them separately.

If you have a Sprint Nano Sim from best buy it should work after you call or chat to have it activated

Just found this.

"I haven't updated it in a long time so it doesn't have these listed on it, but the UICC Compatibility Matrix lists the three separate options for the each of the old card types for reference.

CZ2124LWC/SIMGLW426C/760494000114 are the same card, depending on where you're looking."

I wanted to check in. Just got my n6 yesterday.....coming from an n5. I'm on sprint and running Terminus, an aosp based rom. I had to flash my old sprint.zip to get data to work. So far everything is fine, except I've noticed that when I send a text it can take up to 45 seconds to go through. It just sticks at "sending". Has anyone else noticed this?

Edit: Please feel free to nicely[emoji6] tell me to read the whole thread before posting.....I am clearly an idiot.

Got mine yesterday. Had to chat to get it activated. Data wouldn't work. Tried different settings, still nothing. Left WiFi on and went to bed. Got up this morning, turned off WiFi, and data works great. Text messages are slow. Set it to 3g, and text message is going trough faster so far
[Nexus 6  General] sohood317:
Got my Nexus about a week ago, I live in Indianapolis and I ordered mine from Sprint web sight, came in box that appeared factory sealed, I got it out of the box turned it on, it did its own activating, I did the NFC whatever restore(touch old phone bla bla bla) and it had 4g LTE after about 5 min, the google restore took forever and didn't actually work for all apps, I think because was updating google services, I never seen, had, or installed a Sim card but it works to this day, like I said it appeared to be factory sealed, I cut it open to remove phone.. I get ok 4g speed here and fair call quality, I have the multiple text/slow, text failed issue on 4g as well. Forced 3g in settings, text issue went away, anyways I love the phone, had all Note phones from 1-4, Lg G3, and others, still love the phone and haven't seen any other issues than some lollipop crab I don't like, hope sprint gets on the ball soon, just sharing my experience with this phone, hope it helps.

I was messing around in *#*#4636#*#* a couple hours ago and killed my cell signal (not lte) across all roms I tried. After doing a full wipe of my phone (I still needed to decrypt so it was an opportune time) I started messing around again to get it back. Finally after twiddling with the bands (switch back and forth from 6 or 7 to us) and messing with preferred mode, making sure cellinfolistrate is set to the long number I was finally able to get it to recognize sprints network again. No idea if this is at all similar to what you're experiencing but I'd say mess around and twiddle.
[Nexus 6  General] harry46222:
I'm in Indianapolis and I've seen the slow texting in Indy. I was in Ft Wayne the other day and had no issues with slow texting... It was very quick. Mine seems to be random. Last week I was in San Diego/San Francisco and saw the same slow text response but when I drove up to LA, I had no issues. I'll be in Tampa next week. Going to try it there. Maybe it depends on the area and how many people are on the network? In Phoenix I've noticed they didn't have 4G but the 3g speed was incredibly fast.
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
At least in the San Francisco market, I've noticed that the issue occurs on Sprint bands 25, 26, and 41 IF the LTE connection is idle. If it's already active then it sends immediately. When connected to Clear band 41 (ie a converted wimax site) then they always send immediately.

It seems that sending a text isn't waking up the LTE connection when connected to Sprint equipment (in this case Samsung is the equipment vendor, versus Huawei for Clear equipment).
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
So after having my phone for a little over a month now it has been great and luckily I have not had one Sprint issue with it.

I am still stock and encrypted, however after booting up and taking the 5.0.1 update I rooted my phone. The only changes I have made is I am running MCR modpack and have been using Franco's kernel since he released it and today I just added VomerTweaks to it.

My two biggest concerns about this phone were the battery (not being able to be removed and replaced) and no SD card with only 32GB for everything.

Battery - Has been great I have not had to charge one during the day yet, the best I could do was get it down to 10% one night after getting up at 1 AM and going to bed at 10 PM. I Normally have 30% to 20% left.

SD Card - Has not been a huge issue yet, however since I am mainly stock I don't have any back-ups on it and as long as that is the case this should not be an issue.

Surprises

Screen - I was worried about the size, now I can not pick up my wife's S4 (which I had as well) as it is just too small. I have adapted to the size and could not go back to a smaller screen, however I don't think I could go much bigger either.

4G/3G Handoffs - One problem I had with my S4 was a few places in my office building it could not pick up 4G and it would stick on 4G and not go to 3G, thus getting no data for long periods of time. With the N6 these handoffs happen with no lag back and fourth.

So far the Sprint network in KC has worked great with the N6 and I could not be happier about that.

[Nexus 6  General] SP_Kenny:
I am 98% sure text (sms) does not go over LTE on sprint - it cuts the LTE and switches over to the CDMA (just as it does for a phone call), sends off your text then switches back to LTE. That is why you see long send / failed send when on LTE, sprints switching starts to fall apart
[Nexus 6  General] Ep3n3wp:
Ah-Ha!!! Thank you!!

Add me to the list of having this issue!!! It has been driving me crazy!!! It seems to also happen when I am out and about not conected to Wi-Fi but the Wi-Fi is turned on

And I'm having the multi text issue as well.

Have between having these issues since I got my phone right when it came out

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

I just wonder how long it will be until Sprint/Google well acknowledge the issue
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
I'm fairly certain it uses IMS and goes strictly over LTE. I've seen no indication that it actually uses eCSFB and switches to CDMA. Others have reported that their data connection doesn't get interrupted when sending or receiving a text, which further indicates that SMS is done via LTE.

Also, when it does go through on LTE, it sends instantly, whereas on CDMA there is always a slight (1 second-ish) delay that has always been present on CDMA.
[Nexus 6  General] SP_Kenny:
I went back and did some digging since I made my last post to see if I could find anything posted since 2013 ( as per an article I had linked back on page 45 of this thread) to back up my post. Unfortunately this article from November 2013 is what I found:

Quote taken from here: http://www.fiercewireless.com/story...upport-simultaneous-voice-and-data/2013-11-19

For those that don't want to read the linked article she goes on to explain how the whole Enhanced Circuit Switched Fallback (eSCFB) come into play in regards to the later part of that quote

As to my personal experience with sending text messages. When the phone is set to LTE the first text goes out right away, the second will go out with a slight delay. If the person I had sent the text to has replied after the first text or by my 3rd consecutive text it all falls apart with a possibility of that text and any others there after altogether failing. When my phone is set to 3g texting works flawlessly

Request: Can anyone find a credible article that is not more then 12 months old confirming where Sprint is currently at in regards to this topic? I have googled Sprint SMS LTE, Sprint SMS over LTE and what not and keep coming up with articles from 2013 and older
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
This is from October 2014: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/5001-breaking-band-tri-band-lte-ecsfb-issues-thread/page-43

Many of the people on that forum either work for Sprint or have inside knowledge regarding the status of their network.
[Nexus 6  General] SP_Kenny:
LOL, found on a site that "I" had linked too previously - Looks like I have been proven wrong

Yea, this particular post spells it out: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/5...d-lte-ecsfb-issues-thread/page-43#entry373098

I had come up with older and mixed information. The quote I had from the fiercewireless looked pretty condemning

Now we have reliable intel on what Sprint can do, next question is is it working that way for us on the N6? Considering how allot of us (I am not saying all of us) seem to get better texting performance when set for 3g. Or perhaps this is more of a tower performance issue in our locations.?
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
If you go to your dialer and hit *#*#4636*#*# there is an option under phone information to turn on SMS over IMS so I don't think it does, at least not by default. There is no indication that setting does anything when switched on either.

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

My wife's Note 4 doesn't exhibit any of these issues. In my opinion there is something weird going on with the handset rather than with Sprint's network.
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
I think that option under *#*#4636*#*# just forces it to be on. But since it's already enabled it doesn't make a difference.
[Nexus 6  General] SP_Kenny:
Just for the heck of it I looked at my settings FYI: you guys posted it incorrectly it is *#*#4636#*#* the *&# get reversed after the numbers

On my phone the SMS over IMS was listed as off

I turned it on and also turned on IMS registration required

Will test it out over the weekend
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
I tried it before, it doesn't seem to make a difference at all. I'm pretty sure IMS is used by default for LTE regardless of what is set there.

I think enabling it in that menu causes it to try using IMS for 3G/CDMA in addition to LTE. By default I think it's just used for LTE, but it should also work over 3G if forced. At least I didn't have any issues on 3G with it enabled.
[Nexus 6  General] car_lost:
Any update on the text messaging issue?
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
No, it's still broken and can't really get any information from Sprint. Seriously considering changing carriers because of this, it's getting pathetic and I'm tired of changing to 3G mode every time I want to send a text.
