[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Did the update help with the issues that were happening with Lollipop?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Well, specifically indicated so far, is that the SMS issue seems to be fixed and signal improvement. As for non Sprint related lollipop issues, there's another thread going on for that.
[Nexus 6  General] Cheater912:
Any reason to enable band 12 LTE?
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
Not now. It will be used for LTE roaming on rural carriers.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Any more Sprint users receive the OTA yet?
[Nexus 6  General] smatherlee:
So what ROM are the majority of Sprint folks using. I've been on Broken OS and Chroma as my daily choices.
[Nexus 6  General] miller2300:
Its been since wed released, and still no update...wtf

[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
You could just download the official update zip from Google and use adb sideload. It does the exact same thing, and verifies it's an official signed Google update.
[Nexus 6  General] miller2300:
I was trying to avoid that if possible, if I do it that way I'm gonna end up rooting and I been trying to be good and not root this time haha... Root always wins tho .. Thank you for the words of wisdom.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I haven't seen this posted, so here's a heads up for a change in 5.1:

When accessing settings to check PRL and other Sprint info, you'll see that it has changed with 5.1. Now, to check PRL version, do the following: Settings>About phone>Status>IMEI information. The other new choice is Sim status, where you can find signal strength, service state, etc.
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
Can anyone on 5.1 confirm that in call volume has been fixed? On 5.0.1, i can barely hear the other person on a phone because volume is too low.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
never had that issue, just had to adjust the phone position on my ear due to the size (had the one max before)
[Nexus 6  General] Annomander Matt:
So far I've tried quote a few:

Liquid smooth is by far the fastest and has good features.

Euphoria had the best battery life

Meanpop has a blinking LED so I've been on that for a few days.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Meh. Battery life depends on what kernel you're running and the tweaks, as well as how you use your phone.

I'm using OmniROM 5.1 and it flies with Franco r20. Slim Builders Collective builds are among the lighter and snappier builds, although with Slim Team MIA builds have slowed to a trickle.
[Nexus 6  General] Annomander Matt:
I'll have to try OmniRom. I was on liquidsmooth as my daily for almost a month, but since they transitioned to Slim it's as you say, builds have showed dramatically.
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
It does have that issue. I don't talk much on a phone but those times i do, the volume is very low especially when i was talking to Motorola customer service. It got so bad that the guy said do you have a house phone that we can talk on because we can't hear each other. Its definitely present on 5.0.1
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
Does anyone have any idea how to make Sprint's visual voicemail work on Nexus 6? I pulled out apk from my old moto x and installed it on my Nexus 6 but it won't deliver voicemails. It seems to provision it self properly but if i call my self from another phone and leave a message, the vvm app doesn't sync it.
[Nexus 6  General] Mattv111:
I manually flashed 5.1 and it finally fixed the "your account cannot be validated" error.
[Nexus 6  General] hondaguy5965:
Hey guys I received a new device from sprint on Thursday because their in-house tech said the phone was the problem with the multiple text and missed calls. But just like you guys said the phone wasn't the problem. none the less i was still have to get a new unit. I side loaded 5.1 on Saturday morning and I must admit the Nexus 6 has been reborn with Performance, call quality, no multiple text, no missed calls etc, improvements :D:D
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
It is worth rooting just for decrypt and ad blocking and so on. Now this may be the first ROM that I don't ROM the snot out of.
[Nexus 6  General] jayharper08:
I've heard that before, but we know why we're all here. ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Circaflex:
Lovely thank you thank you thank you

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] lilman355:
We don't have to be rooted to decrypt right? Just unlock bootloader and decrypt using the toolkit correct?
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Another thing that as yet is more permanent...if you have root...don't worry this isn't not undo able

Go into titanium backup. Under batch tasks under Freeze all apps...you'll note there are THREE apps called "phone". One is "Phone...(VOICEMAIL)", freezing that makes the damn notification go away. I have not exhaustively tested this, but this appears to be a long term solution. The problem seeks to be a carrier provided voicemail app...as (VOICEMAIL) is not a system app according to Ti
[Nexus 6  General] freddienux:
Does it any features? And has anybody tesr drive it yet?

NEXUS 6/TEAM BLACKOUT
[Nexus 6  General] Mistertac:
It has a few Slim features already with more to come I'm sure. It's running great for me with Lean Kernel. Everything just works, it's your typical Slim. Check it out.

[Nexus 6  General] habitformer:
I did this on my N5 for same reasons and it resest my apns and no exaggeration,I lost my service I was never able to get signal again,even after reflashing every stock image from google.
[Nexus 6  General] NeoteriX:
What kinds of bandwidth speeds are folks getting on their Nexus 6? I'm not sure if it's just me or my location in New York City (Brooklyn), but despite having about half bars of LTE, my speedtest results are 0.6 Mbps-1.5 Mbps on LTE, and embarrassingly enough, my 3G speeds are roughly the same. Sprint's press release for the Nexus 6 says that the phone is Spark compatible, but has anyone gotten into the dialer app to confirm?
[Nexus 6  General] unregistered825:
I'm in Chicago, about 3 miles north of the loop. Getting 19.92 Mbps down and 9.85 Mbps up.

Edit: -100 dbm and 41 asu :(
[Nexus 6  General] Mistertac:
I'm usually in and around Springfield, Mass and Hartford, Ct and my speeds are typically 20 Down and 10 Up.

I was getting 3 times these speeds with my Verizon phone [emoji30]
[Nexus 6  General] marable:
slim rom

Is there a changelog for slim rom?
[Nexus 6  General] oldpreowner:
Initial impressions on the radio compared to the nexus 5 on Sprint. I travel throughout the southeast on a daily basis and with the nexus 5 I would constantly lose LTE and have to toggle airplane mode to get off 3g back to LTE. With the nexus 6 I haven't had to do this once since last Wednesday when I activated it. Definitely an improvement from the n5!
[Nexus 6  General] KB112:
Just ordered mine yesterday. Had a $50 bestbuy gift card thrown in the mix. Was planning to switch to T Mo, but wifey wants to stay put for now. Anyone know if the $50 play credit was through sprint only? Just curious if I'm eligible ordering from BB.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr.Jason:
Upload speeds

My download speeds are consistent with what I get with my Galaxy S3, about 10-20 Mbps, but my upload speeds are much slower. I can only get about 1 Mbps average upload speed and max I've gotten is 1.7 on my Nexus 6 whereas on my Galaxy S3 I get about 7-10 Mbps upload. I get these results with both Speedtest and Sensorly and I have tried several different areas around San Diego over the last week. Anybody else seeing this?
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
This has been tried a couple different ways and no one was able to get it to work correctly on the Nexus 6. I had a zip that I used on my S4 when I moved to a different ROM and it worked great on the S4, on the Nexus 6 it would not connect at all.
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
That's unfortunate because we do get the vvm in our plans, i mean its included but they won't make it available to Nexus users. All other 3 carriers have their vvm app in the Google play store and Sprint is the only one that doesn't. Seems unfair to me. They made their other apps available at the play store like Sprint's music, tv, protect, NASCAR, and bunch of other apps so why is vvm app any different from those apps?
[Nexus 6  General] angiest:
It's been a couple of years since I messed with dialer codes. What is this from the OP supposed to do?

On my phone, I get an error stating that the code is invalid.
[Nexus 6  General] :
That reset code will reprovision your wireless data. Are you running other than stock ROM?
[Nexus 6  General] :
I've integrated Google voice with hangouts and get my voicemail to text that way.
[Nexus 6  General] angiest:
Yes, I'm running Chroma.
[Nexus 6  General] :
That would most likely be the cause of the code not working. I remember from my HTC days that anything other than stock ROM will not allow dialer codes to work.
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
I had that before but now i just want to keep my Sprint's number separated from Google voice. Hopefully Sprint will change their mind and make the vvm apo available to us.
[Nexus 6  General] tybo31316:
Does anyone know how I can get my MSL# without calling Sprint?
[Nexus 6  General] :
I believe there's an app for that but I don't think it's 100% accurate. Sprint has always given mine to me without question.
[Nexus 6  General] tybo31316:
I tried a few mins ago. They wouldn't do it because they believe I was trying to unlock my Sim for use on other domestic carriers. In which the Nexus 6 is already unlocked.
[Nexus 6  General] Nochis:
Someone mention that all nexus 6 have six 0 for msl. I tried on two and it worked. You might give it try.
[Nexus 6  General] tybo31316:
Didn't work.
[Nexus 6  General] pmikec:
I always say I need my MSL for "LTE dubugging" and they seem to have no problems with that. Keep calling back until you get a rep that will help you.
[Nexus 6  General] smatherlee:
^ What he said. Where one rep won't work with you try and try again. You will find one that will.
[Nexus 6  General] wotandsdwys:
Anyone else still getting duplicate texts? Running stock rooted 5.1 with new radio and updated everything. Still getting and sending duplicates
[Nexus 6  General] supasanch24:
Not here. Mine has been sending and receiving like it should have at first release.
[Nexus 6  General] brendanr1995:
this might be a dumb question but i used the *#*#4636#*#* code and set network mode to "LTE only". will this drain my battery more even though right now i have lte signal ? and is it recommended to stay on this mode?

and also one day i left this mode on and my battery graph showed all red and my phone was saying that i had no signal for 55 percent of the time even though i had signal? its confusing hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me
[Nexus 6  General] hondaguy5965:
mine was fine untill this morning, when my friend told me one message came in duplicate.
[Nexus 6  General] supasanch24:
Are you completely stock? How did you get to 5.1. Ota or sideload.
[Nexus 6  General] hondaguy5965:
Yes, my phone is completely stock. OTA you would just have to wait for. To side load you'll need the image and SDK tools to manual install it. not anything a little youtube search wouldn't be able to help you with. Try http://qbking77.com/
[Nexus 6  General] hondaguy5965:
Hello,

As anyone flashed 5.1.0 (LMY47E) yet? I saw this image come up this morning.
[Nexus 6  General] jfcooley:
Flashed newest last night. I believe my 3g improved (no LTE here) over "D" but I couldn't prove it. Really haven't noticed any changes. No issues manually flashing the images.
[Nexus 6  General] 19psi:
Anybody have an idea why my Google voice number is being used as my default for sending texts even through my regular text app? I've completely disable voice on my phoneand it still does it.
[Nexus 6  General] hondaguy5965:
did your device suffered from the memory leak issue? (mind has worsened since 5.1). I wonder if it addresses that since they stated to have found solutions to it.
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
disable integration from voice.google.com
[Nexus 6  General] 19psi:
I don't see an option for integration there. It only started doing this when I switched to Sprint from Verizon.I didn't change any settings when I switched.
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
nothing here? Do you have the google voice app setup on your phone?
[Nexus 6  General] 19psi:
Nope, attaching a screenshot of the options I get on that page.

Yes it's setup and everything works, except I can't use my carrier number any more.
[Nexus 6  General] jfcooley:
I never noticed a memory leak. Really haven't had any issues (that I didn't cause myself) since purchase. I've owned quite a few devices in the past few years and along with the M8 this has been the most trouble free.

Maybe because starting with the M8 I stopped using anything but stock ROMs. I do use leankernel, its been trouble free.
[Nexus 6  General] 19psi:
One other thing I noticed is that it doesn't ask me which number I want to use every time I make a call. It used to ask if I wanted to use Voice or my carrier number.

Uninstalled the app, and reinstalled and it still didn't ask me the usual questions.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Your gonna have to call Sprint and have them remove conditional call forwarding. It's a pain to get them to understand. It took me weeks of reading and checking setting on the voice setup page. I had them reset my voicemail and conditional call forwarding and havnt been back since.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yes, absolutely call Sprint as they can remove any Google voice integration from their end.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Have any of you tried the new radio. D was the first 5.1 and now E. Im still on d.
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
Im on the E radio and see no difference.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Still on D too but I noticed a big difference with that. I've been very satisfied with D build.
[Nexus 6  General] maamdroid:
I've had this same question. There are many times where my phone goes into 3g, but a quick flip of airplane mode off then on and it will reconnect to LTE.

So sometimes I just set the LTE only and then I stay on LTE the whole time.

I'm on that mode right now actually. I'll leave like this for awhile and see if I get battery drain. I do get the no signal indicators as do you.

Also, I use google voice for my main number, so with hangouts I get voice calls through data. Otherwise, LTE only mode you won't get voice calls to come through.
[Nexus 6  General] Trina9:
Finally decided that it's time to upgrade to the Nexus 6!
[Nexus 6  General] maamdroid:
I'm on sinless ROM 5.1. In battery stats, it is not showing that I have no signal. Battery drain seems normal. So something might have been changed/fixed to no report no signal in LTE only mode.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Anybody here in San Diego. I have 5 Sprint phones and 4 of em have 0 data today. My Nexus is the only one with data. Although it's way more spotty than normal.
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
LTE has been weird in San Francisco too. A couple sites near me have stopped broadcasting band 41 today (one Clear, one a recently upgraded Sprint site).

I'm wondering if they're testing some kind of automatic band optimization, because band 26 is acting strangely as well in the same area. The network immediately moves me to -115 or weaker band 25 or drops to 1x rather than use band 26.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
Yeah that's kinda what my family says there's is doing. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] Wiley_11:
Check this out. It shows around San Diego being down.

[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
which software version of 5.1 are you guys runing? I had no issies one D, but installed E yesterday and later in the evening noticed that my phone spent half the time without reception and mostly on 3g when it had reception. Called sprint and asked if there was an outage in my area. They told me everything looked good. So I dont know if it is the tower in my area or the version E is not working well with sprint.
[Nexus 6  General] Mahapederdon:
I don't think the people on the phone know much. The lady told me I had to call on another phone to diagnose my wife's and kids phone. I said my phone is fine. She almost refused to help me unless I call from a number not on my account. Then they still had no fix. Please reboot your phone is as far as I got. Haha. It's back up and good now. I think sprints been having problems in certain areas lately. Hopefully making things better.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
There were outages in certain areas yesterday, like San Francisco.

47D and 47E have the same baseband I believe. I don't have the files on me but others have reported they have identical hashsums...which mean they're the same.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
im thinking it had to do with tower issues at my house because i have been at work for 3 hours now and i have had receptions the whole time. what i did notice is that the phone keeps jumping from lte to 3g and back very frequently.
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
One thing I've noticed, at least with 47E (haven't tested it on 47D) is that it no longer shows 1x when it doesn't have evdo. It shows 3G in the status bar, while the engineering screen shows it only has 1x. On 5.0.1 it correctly showed 1x.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
so i i flashed the D factory image, rooted the phone again, flashed the decrypted boot, did all the tweaks and mods, now it is running like a champ. For some reason the E version really didnt like my phone. I am advising others to stay away from version E.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
Update. With over 9 hours on version D, my phone shows 0% without reception. On E it was in the twenties.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
So it seems that there isn't really a single general consensus as to whether or not us (on sprint) should flash the E version of 5.1 or stay on D. After flashing to 5.1D I noticed all of the issues that I had at least noticed were resolved although I think I am still missing calls with no notifications. If E has a chance to fix that I would certainly flash it, unless it is likely to just get merged into a later incremental update.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
im thinking of installing just the E version rom. I believe the issues with receptions were due to different radio on version E.
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
From everything I have read the main reason for version E was to add fixes for the Verizon version that was just released. There "should" be no issue flashing a rom that is on the E base and keeping the radio from D. I only had a couple of days at work only of issues on 5.0.1 and that was after updating my PRL one day and then a couple days later a new PRL came out and everything was fixed. I will say the new radio in 5.1 seems to work even better so I am not going to complain.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
I actually just flashed E last night, I'm getting better reception and my speeds increased on b26, went from 8-10Mbps to 18-23Mbps. So I'm just assuming everyone's mileage will vary when it comes to this radio
[Nexus 6  General] schnergun:
I switched back to the Note 4 about a month ago waiting for the text issue to get resolved. After using the Nexus for a few months and going back to the N4 I can tell a huge performance difference between the devices. The N4 just seems to get sluggish after a while where as my N6 stayed smooth ( even though text issues sucked haha).

tl;dr - Ordered another Nexus 6 and itll be here Monday. Cant wait!
[Nexus 6  General] mrgwap:
Do we have hd voice now that 5.1 is here? My wife's note 4 has it
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
any spark enabled device has had it, it's not new with 5.1, you're thinking of Volte which sprint hasn't turned on yet. HD voice has been a feature for quite sometime now but your area has to have it enabled and both phones have to be spark phones to hear it
[Nexus 6  General] Mudavo:
FYI. I posted this in the 5.1 version discussion thread:

Thought I would share that I purchased a Cloud White 64gb from Amazon Prime which came yesterday. Turned it on and was running 5.0. It went through the update process and stopped at 5.0.1. This morning I got a notification for another update and now I'm on 5.1 version LMY47E. On Sprint.

Side note - I tried the sprint online "activate a new phone" and it didn't work. I had to have them manually activate it in there system. Very hassle free.

On Sprint Spark with decent speeds!

[
[Nexus 6  General] :
Just checking in again, have any Sprint users received the OTA notification? How many of us are using LMY47D and how many are using E? I'm on D and have had significant signal strength improvement in my area.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
I'm on 47D ROMs running the 47E radio.

Strength does seem to be better based on dB. That being said the signal icon has had it's scaling changed, -105+Db is now 3-bars of signal...which is just goofy. I mean seriously, talk about misleading, I'm barely getting a cell tower at all and my phone notification bar says my signal is strong? WTF.
[Nexus 6  General] _Dennis_:
Are you talking LTE? Strength of signal is much less important then quality of signal. You can have a low RSRP (signal strength) but high RSSI (quality, is noise and interference). What should be showing on the status bar is RSRQ (combined RSSI and RSRP).
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'll just leave this here...
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
I just finally got this device yesterday and so far I'm loving it especially the front facing speakers watching videos and the clear quality sound coming from the front is incredible.
[Nexus 6  General] phyba:
I have q note 3 and was going to get the nexus 6 day one but decided to wait for the galaxy s6, but seeing as the galaxy s6 isn't really what I was looking for, I'm going to get the nexus 6. How is reception on this phone? My note 3 typically last me all day on a single charge so I'm hoping the nexus 6 will as well. Camera decent?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Best reception I've had on a device from Sprint. No battery issues here at all running stock. Even better on some ROMs and kernels. No problem going all day. Camera is very decent.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
I have a question, what is the latest build number and baseband for the sprint device? I thought that it was 5.1 with the duplicate message fixed but I'm still stuck on 5.0.1 build number LRX22C.
[Nexus 6  General] Kchitown1977:
Haven't had a issue with dup texts since I've been on 5.1 LMY47E flashed via wugfresh
[Nexus 6  General] :
Good question! Unfortunately there isn't a clear answer. I'm on LMY47D and it's been solid. Great improvement in reception. Other Sprint users have reported better performance with LMY47E. There's been no comment from Google as to what build is for which carrier or if that even matters. Anyway, anything posted on the factory images page is safe to flash and last I knew, LMY47E is the latest version available.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
I'm still stock and haven't rooted yet but I've been viewing the tutorial so when I'm ready to root I won't have so much troubles or worries but I just wanted to know if I should be on the latest 5.1 that sprint had rolled out sometime last week or the week before I think before I get to root the device?

I keep checking to see if I get the update for the 5.1 but it just keeps saying I'm on the latest software.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
just get whatever OTA your phone shows up with. Let us know which version it is. So far only one person on sprint got the E version, that is known.
