Sounds like flashing piece by piece may be my route to go. Would it be ok if i hit you up when that time comes so i dont screw it up.
[Nexus 6  General] 5FOOTER:
That's a first but I never mess with HTC phones but if ota can flash on a modded system then OK...but how about this great battery life on this n6.

issue with sprint activation

I spent all day with sprint yeaterday trying to get my Nexus 6 activated with no luck. Itb goes through the activation process, but only data works. I get could not validate account when dialing out. Sprint says that my msl is showing as all zeroes in their system, but they don't know how fix it. The one rep said that if I could find my msl she could manually enter it into the system. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or how to get my msl?
[Nexus 6  General] cornelious2:
All zeros is the MSL for the nexus 6

*#*#72786#*#* that should force re activation.
[Nexus 6  General] biscodude:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried that about 10 times.
[Nexus 6  General] troyperez:
Really liking the battery life. ☺ I wasn't sure if I would like pure android after coming from ViperOne Rom with all the bells and whistles. But, i have to say i really like this phone and the way Lollipop is setup.
[Nexus 6  General] maamdroid:
I just wanted to note some issues I've had with custom Roms on Sprint.

MMS did not work

Settings - more - cellular networks - carrier settings crashed the phone app every time I tried to open it. So I couldnt manually update prl or carrier settings.

Granted, all phone and data worked for the ones I tried.

I have now went back to stock, rooted using elementalx kernel.

Though I had amazing battery on slim ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Yes that is because devs got zealous about removing carrier cruft...and the Sprint config libraries met the axe in the initial round of decrufting. Having been alerted to the issue odds are future builds will add it back in.
[Nexus 6  General] ilostmypistons:
Anyone on Sprint having text messages taking forever to send?
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
It's a known issue. https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/179054
[Nexus 6  General] marctronixx:
no such issue with using hangouts.
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
I'm guessing you're the person who just commented on that thread as well. That's because you're using Google Voice (data) for SMS/MMS, not Sprint (CDMA).
[Nexus 6  General] maamdroid:
Yeah, same delay in SMS and MMS not working. Was really digging the messenger app, back to hangouts now. I really hope hangouts gets a makeover to look more like messenger.
[Nexus 6  General] ilostmypistons:
I'm having the problem with hangouts and messenger
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
Not bad for 5.1.1. I compared to the same setup on 5.1, current battery life is a bit better even with crappy reception at times.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
They probably don't get any other service either.

Before flashing m preview. Has any one just flashed rom minus bootloader and radio. My current sprint radio shows 100r what's m preview radio numbee
[Nexus 6  General] gorillaz1:
So I managed to load Android M as a secondary ROM in Multirom.

It was Tassanders versions, with Despair 2.4 and SSU Beta 2.49.

Only issue was I couldn't seem to get data/phone working. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
I had flashed the boot loader zip in twrp from vomers thread rebooted and I had data.
[Nexus 6  General] gorillaz1:
If I do that after the fact does it mess up anything?

Never mind, got it working. So far the only app I haven't gotten to work is Go SMS Pro.

Otherwise seems quite snappy. I really wish they'd add the ability to rearrange softkeys in stock. This phone is too big for the back key to be on the left.
[Nexus 6  General] Julito_PR:
Hi Guys.. I'm on M but since 5.0.1 I was having connection issues, full signal but nothing was grabbing data and calls where hanging up right after accepting. I just disabled the Google Fi and Google Conectivity Services apps and everything seems back to normal. All the issues where on LTE but still.. 3G was taking forever to connect. Even after resetting all connections and using the old airplane mode on-off trick.
[Nexus 6  General] xTmDarren:
I'm still having the LTE/WIFI not receiving call problem and multiple texting issues on android M. But now im also not able to get on 3g mode. I tried what you said but its not working..

So now i have to decide to either run on 1x, or LTE with no wifi.. or try a custom rom :(
[Nexus 6  General] :
Have you tried flashing the Sprint fix zip from the OP? I can't guarantee it will work, but worth a shot.
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
I have not been having any issues on the M preview, flashed the Google image straight from Google, not a version someone changed. First thing I did was updated the PRL to make sure it was current (55025) and Updated device config.

The only thing weird that has happened is that I was out on Saturday night and I noticed my Moto 360 was not connected to my phone and when I checked my phone I had no connections at all, I rebooted and after that everything reconnected and have not had the issue again.
[Nexus 6  General] xTmDarren:
I'm currently just unlocked.. not rooted.. but I might just root and try that..

I might try to reinstall android M before I root- to see if that fixes any of the problems.. Never know.. I could have gotten a bad file.. Otherwise I love android M and would run it as a daily driver.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Dialer code?
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
So I upgraded to 5.1.1 and unfortunately still experiencing the missed calls on LTE with WiFi on and connected so it is back to full LTE only for data. Really frustrating that this isn't an issue we are all having only a select few but I'm sure Sprint hates that I'm blasting through roughly 30Gb of data a month now. I never realized how much I used until I disabled WiFi for a whole month haha. Oh well I just wish I could use WiFi just for the speed

Doesn't really matter, I keep mine on LTE but it works on both.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:

[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Put it back to LTE and test again that way you know that really is the culprit.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
So I put it back and I got calls for the first 10min which was expected because that has been my experience every time I retried it. Then I put it back to global and tested right when I changed it, 10min later, 20min later, 30min later and earlier it had been a good 4hours after changing it the first time and it still worked. I am shocked this is all it took to fix the missed call issue with WiFi on...

The Tig using Tapatalk
[Nexus 6  General] xTmDarren:
I'm having the same problem as you.. of course i also have the problem of 3g just not working at all.. So I just changed mine to global, but I also just went into developer options and turned on "cellular data always active." which should always keep mobile data on even when wifi is active. I guess i should be able to tell by the end of the day or so if this works..
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
I got excited too soon, today calls are going straight to voicemail without any ringing at all now on the callers end. I give up, I switched to 3G and am keeping my WiFi on because I need the speed on WiFi. I am not in locations without it enough to care that I can't use 3G.

I couldn't find the option you refer to in stock 5.1.1

Side note, will i notice a speed difference for MMS and SMS over 3G vs LTE?

The Tig using Tapatalk
[Nexus 6  General] xTmDarren:
you have to go into settings- about phone- and tap on build number at the very bottom a few times to enter developer mode..

then under settings at the bottom there should be a developers options. Enter that and under networking, almost in the middle of the scroll down of the page you'll see "cellular data always active."
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
Yea I have Dev options already enabled I just don't have that line item for always active

[Nexus 6  General] gorillaz1:
Though the beauty of Multirom, I've tried out 5.1.1, and still having issues.

Double texts, phone hangs up immediately when I answer calls, the normal stuff.

I am getting to the point where I'm going to pay my early term fee and head over to AT&T or Cricket or something. :(
[Nexus 6  General] jdee323:
Are you using google voice? I had that problem, and after canceling it, i was able to answer calls normally.
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
I have been using a new Nexus 6 (purchased direct from Google Play Store) on Sprint for 3 days, and have not been able to replicate the problems reported in this thread with either duplicate texts or dropped incoming calls. Is there some test scenario that can trigger this bad behavior unambiguously? Or are the symptoms just intermittent, with the text/call functionality sometimes working and sometimes failing?

My phone is running 5.1.1 (build LMY47Z), which was pushed out by Google when I set up the phone, before I even activated with Sprint.

Bone stock. Never rooted.

The phone was activated at a Sprint factory store where I obtained my Sprint SIM.

I am not using Hangouts or Google Voice.

My "Preferred network type" under "Cellular networks" is set to Global, which was the factory default.

I am usually set to use WiFi, or else LTE for data. I have never turned 4G/LTE off.
[Nexus 6  General] GeneticJim:
I have yet to experience ANY issues with my N6 on sprint that I purchased from Motorola directly. I have mine setup the same as yours
[Nexus 6  General] gorillaz1:
It seems to be very area dependant. I've tried all the same things and every version of L and M available with no luck.

And Sprint admits the problem exists and are trying their best currently to stop me from cancelling. I supposedly hear back in 3-5 days on what they are willing to do.

But odds are I am moving somewhere else.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
So apparently since Sprint's 5.1.1 I cannot force WCDMA anymore, anyone have any insight on this as that was my work around to the data issues on 5.1
[Nexus 6  General] :
Have you tried a custom ROM or just stock?
[Nexus 6  General] mnsportsguy1978:
Just stock, but it worked before the update...it will let me change it but then switches back after exiting.

[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
So I just had a thought this morning. This is a question to anyone else still having calls go straight to voicemail with WiFi on: do any of you have a number blocked in your Sprint account? It would be a long shot but apparently that causes issues with GV integration and I wonder what else it messes with...just a pondering but I am curious. Thanks guys!

Sprint's Unlimited Plan vs All In Plan

Why would this new plan (All In) be better than Sprint's Unlimited Plan? For $20 more per month you get more of... what exactly? Is video capped at 650 kbps on the Unlimited Plan as it is for the All In Plan? ? I have a Nexus 6 with the Unlimited Plan. I pay $27 per month for my device. When the device is paid off than it's mine. With the All in Plan I am paying $20 more and am LEASING the device. I just don't see the point of Sprint's All In Plan. As I asked... with the Unlimited Plan is my video capped at 650 kbps as well?

That would be really great if they did!

Honestly, I think it is something that should be directly suggested to Marcelo at Sprint on his Twitter account. I'd suggest it, but I don't have a Twitter account.

Although, personally, I might try to find and email address for him or someone else important at Sprint, and suggest it.
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
I don't have Twitter neither. But that's a good idea if everyone would do that via Twitter. If you find that email address i would more then happy to send him an email.

Quick google search says his email is Marcelo@sprint.com but I tweeted about the VM app. Now to play the waiting game. Lol =p https://twitter.com/us3rX/status/625075692959592448

Edit: On a side note. Anyone running the Android M preview? If so does the VM app already work? Or does Sprint need to enable something for it to work? Not entirely sure how android handles VM's through the carriers.

[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
I also just emailed him on that Sprint email address. Basically i said that Sprint's VM app has never been available to Nexus users even tho it's included in the plan. Customer service just keeps giving the same old response "use a Google voice". So I asked if Sprint will allow us to use built-in vm since they don't want to make their vm app available in the Google play store like the other major carriers.

I have been on both previews and actually waiting on the M2 preview for the OTA to come. I have called and left myself a few voicemails and I have not been able to get this to show as of yet. I am not using Google Voice because I don't like how it works with Sprint. However from reading it looks like this is not working on most carriers at this point, unless people use Google Voice.
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
Cellphone companies have to turn it on or do something on their end. Its not gonna work because its not finished product. Only T-Mobile and some European company promised so far that they will let users use that Android's M VM.
[Nexus 6  General] KCT1975:
Okay, so just did my part.

I let Marcelo know that I have been a long time Sprint customer, I am disappointed that the Sprint Visual Voicemail doesn't work on the Nexus 6, and asked Sprint to support the Android M native Visual Voicemail.

As I mentioned, if I get a response, I will let you all know.

Curious why you guys dont use google voice for voicemail? Ive used google voicemail since probably the LG Optimus G, then S3, then HTC M7. If you try it out make sure to hit skip instead of configuring sprint integration (think its the first screen).
[Nexus 6  General] us3rX:
It's been a long time since I used GV, but the last few times I used GV for voicemail, it was a nightmare. Not sure if its cause its a "3rd party" app instead of being a "built" in app or what. But maybe I'll download it and give it another shot here in a bit.
[Nexus 6  General] bob2300nx:
A quick few tips. Dont integrate with sprint. When it gives you the *number to dial it doesnt work for me when I click it. So just copy the number, goto dialer manually and paste and call. It will ring and automatically hangup, this configures to google voicemail. Then go back to google voice app and go through instructions. In the dialer goto settings then calls and make sure voicemail is set to google voice.

Call your phone and goto voicemail to make sure everything is working correctly.

Hope that helps. Sounds complicated but is pretty easy to configure once you've done it before.
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
Why do we need to go thru this when Sprint has an VM app already? It's included in a plan so why are they leaving Nexus users out? Just make a freaking app available in a Google play store like every other major Carrier. Am i right?
[Nexus 6  General] bob2300nx:
While I havent used the sprint voicemail in a long time, I have a suspicion that im not missing anything. Google voice works well for me and has alot of features. Yeah it would be great to have choices, not saying you need to do this. Just a friendly suggestion thats all.
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
I am not saying that Google voice is bad product. But it's the matter of principle. And some people don't want to use Google voice.

I just spoke with some girl. She is from some elevated customer something something ( don't know official title). Basically she has no information on anything. They seem very clueless about visual voicemail. She said something about Motorola didn't allow Sprint to upload their services blah blah blah. I told her its not a bloatware if its in the Google play store but it's like talking to the robot. Android M's vm is Unknown to them to this point so i asked her if she can forward this to someone who is in charge of VM. She said she will do that so overall nothing...
