Yes, this OTA roll out has been strange, even by Google standards. I sideloaded LMY47D shortly after it was released. Perhaps this week we will see a wider roll out and have a better understanding of which version we are "supposed" to be on.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
so far it seems like sprint, att, and other carriers worldwide are getting version D. I have nothing to say about version E and M yet

Second question, can i go from LRX210 directly to LMY47M or doe i have to install LRX22C first?

Since the Sprint announced lollipop 5.1 on their website, March 11th i believe, i thought the ota update rollout would take up to several days but after 9 days i didn't get an update so i decided to try the old method of trying to pulldown an update. I went into settings > apps > scroll over to all > scroll down to Google services framework > tap on it and clear data and force stop it. Then go to about phone and check for system updates. I did this twice and i got notification that i got an update available.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Is it the D build or E build?
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
Yes you can go directly using the steps I gave you assuming you are getting the full factory images from google.

I just flashed E. I read E is a slightly updated D built. The E build carries an updated radio image and some other small changes.

Dude thank you I totally forgot about this as I was stuck on 5.0.1 waiting for the update. Took one try and got the update and I'm also on D build.

So now that I'm on 5.1 can I still use the same flash tool and unlock boot loader methods?
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
I am not sure about that. Qbking77 would a good person to ask.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
You could have unlocked everything before updating...

I'm on the 47e version. Texts seem to not double send but when my wifi is on I still miss calls. Are you all seeing the same thing. I'm running cleanrom 2.1 with all the latest radio and bootloader.
[Nexus 6  General] jhienk:
I'm also on E build and cleanrom. Was still getting missed calls on D image so figured would try cleanrom with E. At work phone hasn't rang once today guess I'll try a call and see what happens.

I tried to sideload the ota without any success... Fastboot is sending back an error after trying to flash the radio... To install the ota I need to unroot???? Do I also need to delete the hotspot hack????
[Nexus 6  General] iainaaldrich:
Don't install any ota. Just flash the radio in fastboot. Flash a ROM. Then bam. Hotspot hack thread under "general"
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
Yep, you have to be completely stock for an OTA to work and the tethering hack messes with something that requires root and root installs stuff to /system. I am not sure if you have to remove the line from the setting.db or not. I guess I would since it is easy.
[Nexus 6  General] rothlike:
Got up this morning and checked for updates and there it was. Downloaded and installed, no problem.
[Nexus 6  General] dslinfreak:
Found a nice little easter egg, couldn't find any other information on it. There is a developer menu that you can access. If you go into "about phoner" and rapid tap build number, after the new OTA update it will unlock the developer options menu just back out after the notification and there it is. :)
[Nexus 6  General] :
Good catch! However, this has been an easter egg in android for a long time.
[Nexus 6  General] dslinfreak:
I never knew about it.

One other thing I noticed. I tried entering into hidden menu's after my phone updated to 5.1 today, I was able to get in, as I was unable to get in while on 5.0 or 5.0.1.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
Sprint does have it. My lg g3 came with it.

I decide to go the custom recovery way... Install 5.1 E... Lets see...
[Nexus 6  General] Mudavo:
It probably won't really be up to Sprint. When Google's cell service launches they (Google) will have to release an update, as their service will be heavily reliant on WiFi calling. This being a universal carrier device we will probably all get that update, or have the option to run that version of the os.

I have been having calls go straight to voicemail and receiving very delayed texts on the most recent radio that came with (LMY47E). I am going to roll the radio back to the (LMY47D) since I had no issues on that one. It may very well be coincidence but this is the first time since I've owned the phone I have missed calls and had texts delayed by more than 30 minutes.
[Nexus 6  General] GTSnail:
I'm having the same problem too. I'm on LMY47D.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
I am on LMY47E and just realized today that I am getting calls straight to voicemail. This is really annoying. No missed calls or anything, only a voicemail if someone actually leaves one!

---------- Post added at 17:56 ---------- Previous post was at 17:52 ----------

Scratch that, apparently I am now getting calls after using Sprint data dialer reset code: *#*#72786#*#*

I didn't do this after manually flashing 5.1, only the update profile and prl through the normal menus. Maybe this will stick for awhile?
[Nexus 6  General] pjsnyc:
Long time lurker here. Just updated to 5.1 and can say that this is still happening but seems like not as much. The texting bug too, happens every once in a while but much better than before. I'm on the D update.

And to be honest, sometimes I see this as a feature, not a bug!
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Hmmmm I was thinking of trying out the E boot loader and radio but now I'm afraid to since I haven't had any of these duplicate text or miss calls to voicemail issue's. I'm on D but right now running a custom ROM that's supposedly is base on E I think.
[Nexus 6  General] MrFrankfromCM:
Didn't work for me, no update for me yet. Granted I am unlocked, rooted and de-crypted from that tool. I'm still on 5.01. I'll keep trying or just sideload with that tool.
[Nexus 6  General] EVOSerb:
Sometimes you have to repeat the process more then few times. For me it worked after second time but for some previous updates it took sometimes 5 to 6 times.
[Nexus 6  General] MrFrankfromCM:
After a few more times, I did receive the notification for 5.1 but the install failed with an error 7 I believe. So, I ended up side loading 5.1 with Wug toolkit. It's all fine now.
[Nexus 6  General] pjsnyc:
Just a side note about the whole force stopping of google services framework trick - it messed up push notifications for me . Even though it seemed to help in getting the 5.1 update pushed to me, I ultimately had to factory reset in order to get push notifications working for me again. Apps like hangouts, gmail, and inbox would not automatically sync unless I opened the app.

Not sure if anyone else experienced this, but thought I'd share my experience.
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
Google has come out and said this. They say do NOT clear data on play services to try to get an OTA. It will stop push notifications, and mess up things in other apps. It basically changes the ID associated with your phone, but everything continues to use the old ID.

Yet people still recommend it instead of just sideloading...

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] pjsnyc:
I kinda knew about this issue but thought that by getting the OTA it would resolve the push issue after the update. Apparently not. I guess ill never assume things like that again.

So even though I was able to get the OTA by using this 'trick', factory resetting was necessary to fix the push issue. Hopefully others jonseing for the OTA will heed this advice and just manually update it themselves.

Good Morning:

Been lurking the tread for a little while I thought I take the time and Introduce my self, I been using Android devices since the HTC hero and been on Spring since the service was first introduced back on 99/2000. Acquired my N6 about a month ago and proceeded to unlock the Bootloader, Root, and De-cript the device. I'm very happy at the moment with the performance and Battery life. One question, Has anyone been able to successfully use the tether I added net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to Build prop but it doesn't seem to work, the hot spot turns on but there it no connection to the internet. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Just installed LMY47I via factory image and successfully relocked bootloader. Too early to report any improvement or not but seems OK so far.
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
Any idea what is changed in this rev? The only thing I know so far is its using the 95 radio and not 98.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Part of why I did it was that the radio was the same. I've had great results with LMY47D as far as signal. I've read that the biggest changes with LMY47I were the way Sim cards are managed. Otherwise it was just a newer build and I couldn't resist.

Want to update you guys. After installing the I version, my phone would not fully activate itself. I had data, but couldn't make phone calls. I ended going to Sprint and getting a new Sim card. That didn't help initially, but about 15 minutes later it stated to work again.

That's pretty strange. Good that it is working now though. Calls are ok for me, had a brief moment of going straight to voicemail but updating profile fixed that.

Texts

Hi guys, I have read through the thread and I see that some people are still having issues. Can anyone in the Northern NJ area verify if the issue is fixed? I'm thinking about getting the Nexus 6 but the issue really drove me to get a Note 4 instead. I would really appreciate it, Thanks. :)
[Nexus 6  General] pjsnyc:
I'm in northern Manhattan and I still get delayed texts and straight to voicemail calls from time to time. I'm on the 5.1 D update. Downtown near my office, I havent noticed these problems which leads me to believe it might be based on the towers? Thats the only conclusion I can draw at the moment.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'm in the Poconos, not too far away. I'm running the "I" build after updating manually from the "D" build. The issue had been resolved for me with "D" and continues to be working fine on "I".

[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
I've been running E and seem to have had a call go straight to voicemail only once. It rang through to Google Voice (which I use for voicemail), so I was still able to answer it, albeit the quality sucked even though I was on wifi (I'm assuming because of Sprint forwarding quality degradation).

I have had texts lag only once or twice, but I'm not sure if these duplicated on the recipient's end.

That being said, I would often have calls go straight to voicemail using single band phones (ie, it kept both an LTE and CDMA connection open). This often happened when my signal was weak. In the above instances, my signal was also weak. My band 26 signal at the location was strong (usually -85 RSRP), but my phone likes to stick to a barely usable band 25 signal instead. On both bands though, the link quality (RSRQ) is usually between -12 and -16, so it's on the threshold for LTE and is constantly hopping between bands and sites. Interestingly, my 1x800 signal from the same site is amazing (1x1900 is good too), but audio will often cut out. I'm assuming that's more of a codec issue though, since HD voice is clear.

So I think the cause may just be due to a weak signal rather than a radio issue. Has anyone experienced this in a location with a strong signal?

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
What are you using to check strength. I'll gladly check it out where I am because I had it happen from time to time and even though it shows full signal I have a feeling that's a lie. It did seem to get better after a profile update or data reset code.

My brother who has the iPhone 6 Plus hasn't had any issues. When I got the Nexus, he was receiving duplicate texts from me, and he can send me messages without any issues. People told me countless times that they called and I received nothing on my phone. I got the note 4 and everything was fixed. It can be dependent on the area too, but if thats the case then why does something like the Note, which is a spark enabled device not have these issues? I do read s4gru here and there so I have a very basic understanding of how the network works. I guess I'll search around on there and see if I find anything.

I found a post on reddit that I believe gives us the answers to these questions. There are two codes from this post that give you two different menus. Here is the link for reference and the codes below.

http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/2yr3il/band_12_tmobile_enabled_51/

Engineering Mode (Debug Menu): *#*#33284#*#*

LTE Discovery shows info on bands and strengths. Kind of helpful if you don't want to download signal check.

Data Settings: *#*#3282#*#*

Can enable bands in LTE menu using MSL code as password.

Does anyone know if there are any issues with enabling band 12 or is it useless to us on Sprint? Also what should the priorities be set to for best outcome across 25,26 and 41?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Thank you! I will add these to the OP. :)
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
The band 12 is useless for us sprint I heard your device will restart or bootloop I think not to sure. The priorities you could set them up how you want, that's what I was looking for to set 41 as main and 26 is second and well 25 as 3rd but it still will choose the strongest network for you depending in the area or tower closest to you.

Edit: Band 12 will be useless on sprint network but if you pop a T-Mobile sim in there it will be enable leaving the sprint bands disable.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
why did you set them in such order? where can i get more info on bands and stuff.
