LTE flakey after 3/8 flash and revert

I ended up formatting the entire phone and flashing 3/1 with nano PAGapps 3/7 and NOT using my titatium backup.

There seemed to be something luring in the backup that killed LTE, so I reinstalled everything from scratch from the play store.

It has now been 24 hours and I am still getting LTE, and carrier is showing as Verizon Wireless, so I think my problem is solved.

My network is set to GLOBAL... I am hesitant to change it to LTE because every time I did that, was associated with losing LTE for good.

Not sure if switching from GLOBAL to LTE was just a coincidence or not, but I don't have time to much around it with this week.
[Nexus 6  General] mjb32803:
I spoke too soon. After having LTE for a day, I came to work and went into a "dead zone" where I lost signal. Came out and now I can't get LTE at all. My network went from showing Verzion Wireless, back to showing 0000000 and I have bars with a "1". Went into Network and changed from GLOBAL to LTE, set CDMA to Automatic.... and waited... nothing. I can get 3G if I set data roaming ON... but it never transitions to LTE. Not sure what else to try except flashing back to stock and starting over from scratch. I had though that formatting SYSTEM, DATA, DALVIK, CACHE, and INTERNAL STORAGE, and flashing a previous ROM and PAGAPPS would solve whatever has dorked up my phone, but its still acting up.
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
This has been a known issue for cm based roms for a while now. The only way to get signal back is installing stock based roms. This is just for verizon only. Not sure about other providers.
[Nexus 6  General] xkevlinx:
Just flashed the latest build 3/10, confirmed that I was able to get LTE again on Verizon :D
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
cleaned flash?
[Nexus 6  General] xkevlinx:
Nope, just download the patch from CMupdater and installed it from there.
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
do a clean flash and then report. This issue with the lack of lte on verizon stands on people doing clean flashes. it does make a difference.

Live Display

Is the new LiveDisplay mode meant to be used with adaptive brightness or as a replacement?
[Nexus 6  General] agentfazexx:
3/10 is downloading VERY slow for me.
[Nexus 6  General] jeffallin:
3/10 won't boot for me
[Nexus 6  General] oak:
3/10 is working flawlessly for me.
[Nexus 6  General] gwstmar:
Have you tried to apply a theme yet? On the 3/8 build it put my phone in a boot loop.
[Nexus 6  General] oak:
Sorry. No, I don't use themes.
[Nexus 6  General] Circaflex:
themes work fine on new nightly.
[Nexus 6  General] Kimbaroth:
Thank you!!!

Downloading!!! =D
[Nexus 6  General] Andrewtst:
Build 3/8 is crazy buggy for me.

3/10 seems smooth and working flawlessly. No issue include theming.
[Nexus 6  General] Elnrik:
Agreed, 3/8 was not fun. Themes, apps, screen not drawing correctly when waking, all kinds of little issues.

So far 3/10 is really good. =)
[Nexus 6  General] Kimbaroth:
I talked earlier...

I'm still having bootloops, and I suposse the issue are the themes...

I flashed the 3/10 build over the 3/4 one, and it boots ok the first time, but when It reaches the desktop, my device restarts and it gets stuck at the boot animation.

I'm using the Elixium UI theme BTW (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zyxxeil.elixium.ui&hl=es)

Bleh... back to 3/4 AGAIN...

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

Did you clean or dirty flashed 3/10??? cuz i flashed it over 3/4, and its a mess, bootloops. X_X
[Nexus 6  General] Elnrik:
I've been dirty since 3/4.
[Nexus 6  General] lahegry:
I clean flashed corrected all my problems, something from dirty flashing borked settings ui clean flash works great though[emoji6]
[Nexus 6  General] mjb32803:
Ended up flashing back to stock and starting over. LTE was back to normal on stock. Tried flashing 3/4 but started having LTE issues again. Luckily I made a backup of STOCK and flashed back. Tried 3/1 same LTE as well. Flash back to STOCK. Then I noticed 3/10 was out and tried flashing that... GOLDEN so far. I have been able to turn LTE on/off, change my network settings from Global to LTE... and LTE was rock solid. Not sure what happened in CM, but 3/10 appears to have fixed it for me.
[Nexus 6  General] agentfazexx:
3/10 is flawless so far. Hopefully BT music doesn't skip randomly like before
[Nexus 6  General] Kimbaroth:
ARGH!!!

I Clean flashed the last build again, applied a theme and guess what???

BOOTLOOPS.....

I flashed stock > rooted > installed TWRP > wiped everything except internal storage > installed CM12 and Stock PA GAPPS > restored my apps from play store > applied a theme (CM12 Elixium UI) > rebooted > Bootloop

Can anyone please give me some advice??? I'm desperate, I wanna use the last build (and its supossed to be working properly with themes now), but meh!!!

Thanks in advance!!
[Nexus 6  General] Elnrik:
Clean flash it, and then apply one part of the theme at a time. See which part triggers the loops. That's at least a start in finding out why? Just a thought.
[Nexus 6  General] Johnny424:
nvm
[Nexus 6  General] edent:
Anyone got a solution for this? Phone is dying at 34%. Just powers off - won't complete a full reboot until it is plugged in.

Is there any way to reset the battery stats?

Oh, I just peeled off the back of my phone and stuck it in a case :) https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2015/02/coming-unstuck-with-the-nexus-6/

I found this cleared my battery stats and stopped the phone shutting down at 34% - http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/solution-phone-shutting-battery-empty-t3041226
[Nexus 6  General] Semteks:
You have a defective battery. Erasing the battery stats won't fix the issue. Same thing happened to me. I sent my phone in to Motorola, they sent me a new one. BNIB sealed. No charge because it was still under warranty.
[Nexus 6  General] jeffallin:
Is anyone else having problems flashing 3/10 ? For me it won't boot, after the "installing apps" part it just bootloops. I tried a full wipe then flashed with no luck. I even flashed factory images and started fresh and then flashed 3/10 and still no luck
[Nexus 6  General] ieatacid:
I get boot loops as well, however, I'm flashing Hydra kernel right after -- I haven't tried letting it boot after just flashing CM and GApps (I don't want it to encrypt it again). Maybe tonight I'll try again with franco.kernel to see if that works.

Are you using a custom kernel that doesn't force encryption like I am?
[Nexus 6  General] jeffallin:
Yes I'm using elementalx. I think I'll try using CM kernel and just flash this: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/mod-disable-force-encryption-rom-kernel-t3000788 and see what happens
[Nexus 6  General] ieatacid:
Let me know if that works ;)
[Nexus 6  General] jeffallin:
Will do
[Nexus 6  General] Pliind:
Lucky you, Motorola sucks in Scandinavia.. been without my phone for 3 weeks since the shop i bought it from had to send it to a service center..
[Nexus 6  General] iainaaldrich:
anyone have to use airplane mode to stop the status bar from saying no service, when in fact I have service? the issue seems more prevalent when switching from wifi to data lte/3g. I tried another cm12 based rom and had the same issue. very minor one, but kinda annoying. I should mention I'm on Sprint.
[Nexus 6  General] agentfazexx:
5.1 is being released from OEM today. CM12 will probably be running 5.1 VERY soon!
[Nexus 6  General] WisdomWolf:
I had the same issue. I tried flashing it without custom kernel and it still boot looped, so like an idiot I decided to wipe data...which means it reencrypted it. I think I managed to get it to boot successfully once, then I downloaded elementalx and wiped data again to disable encryption, but it refused to boot. I ended up flashing 030415 for now.
[Nexus 6  General] BobbyHill:
Anyone else having a problem with the clock on 3/10 build? I've got it set for "hidden" but every time the screen turns off or I reboot, the clock is back when I turn it back on.
[Nexus 6  General] wietse1988:
Did it work? I have the same issue. I'm decrypted on the 8 march nightly. Did try to update to the 10th update, flashed the unencrypted mod, tried to boot. But ended up in seeing the cm boot logo for over 20 minutes. Than I did go back to recovery and restored my backup. Would really like to update, but I want to stay decrypted, performance is way better now.
[Nexus 6  General] krazyflipj:
Just tested and clock reappears as well
[Nexus 6  General] BobbyHill:
BTW, how do you guys update from nightly to nightly? CM Updater? Fresh installs? Cyan Delta?

I flashed the 3/10 build after wiping last night. Prior to that I'd been using cyandelta. When I first got my Nexus 6 I had problems with trying to flash updates and getting '/cache/recovery/block.map' errors in TWRP
[Nexus 6  General] Circaflex:
just dirty flash the builds from cmupdater, no need to clean flash
[Nexus 6  General] BobbyHill:
Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] Elnrik:
Cm updater mostly. Haven't had a problem with it yet.
[Nexus 6  General] jeffallin:
I haven't tried it yet, but a few posts back WisdomWolf said he had the same problem without custom kernel, so I doubt it would be any different
[Nexus 6  General] agentfazexx:
3/11 is out! Seems to be quite a bit larger in size too.
[Nexus 6  General] Birdsfan:
Problem flashing the 11 build?

I tried downloading it twice but after booting into recovery and trying to flash it aborts in a few seconds and kicks me back to the TWRP main screen?
[Nexus 6  General] krazyflipj:
I've been having issues flashing when downloading updates in settings. It would fail. Anyone else?
[Nexus 6  General] jeffallin:
So I tried flashing 3/11 with elementalx kernel and it still wouldn't boot. So Since I'd flashed factory images the other day and haven't decrypted yet, I tried flashing 3/11 with CM kernel as is (without the NO_FORCE_ENCRYPT zip) and it booted fine. I'm guessing they changed something in the nightlies that makes custom kernels not compatible?
[Nexus 6  General] ieatacid:
Didn't it then force the device to encrypt everything?
[Nexus 6  General] jeffallin:
I was already encrypted since I flashed factory images the other day and haven't decrypted again yet
[Nexus 6  General] LordDeath:
Be careful with experimenting on possibly non-booting nightly builds and decrypted /data partitions. My decrypted device tried to boot with an encryption-enforcing stock kernel once and it failed to boot.

But after that TWRP was unable to read /data anymore and when I flashed everything back Android notified me that the encryption-process went wrong and I had to apply a factory reset to use my phone again.

tl;dr: The process of re-encrypting /data will cause a data loss if your untested nightly fails to boot. So be careful if you are relying on modified kernels with no force encrypt and daily CM12 updates.
[Nexus 6  General] mikkelwe:
Real men do do backups. They cry when they loose everything.
[Nexus 6  General] LordDeath:
It was still a hassle because I had to resync all my data back from Dropbox to restore them over Titanium backup. This is annoying if you actually have other things to do.
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
I use the latest nightly with lean kernel and have no issue at all.
[Nexus 6  General] wietse1988:
Did update to 11th nightly coming from 8th nightly. And still decrypted.

See post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59376084&postcount=41
[Nexus 6  General] BobbyHill:
I tried flashing the 3/10 build over the 3/8 through cmupdater just now and it kept rebooting TWRP without installing. I was able to install the 3/11 build though via TWRP without running cmupdater. It seems to be very hit or miss for me
[Nexus 6  General] jeffallin:
Can anyone with more knowledge explain what they would have changed in the last few nightlies that is causing it not to boot when using some custom kernels? I can't use elementalx now, and I'm wondering if it's something that kernel devs will make changes to make kernels compatible again in time...
[Nexus 6  General] kergefarkas:
I'm no expert, but usually these are caused by ramdisk changes. The kernel developer has to add some things to their kernel in order to make it work again with the rom. Some kernels have their own ramdisk (at least when I was on my GNex there were a couple), which are not affected by this. But I'm really not sure how this exactly works, so this is just my best guess from experience.

But with franco.Kernel, I didn't have any problems since I got my phone (I immediately decrypted, installed cm and franco.kernel) so far. There was a time when he had to add some ramdisk patches for the themes, but then there weren't any bootloops either. And I'm always dirty flashing.
[Nexus 6  General] THIRSTY GNOMES:
Anyone heard of anything for an eta on 5.1? I have been watching http://www.cmxlog.com/12/shamu/ and I haven't seen it merge yet. So antsy with anticipation!

Follow the rules on XDA....One rule is never ask for ETA's
[Nexus 6  General] THIRSTY GNOMES:
Sorry! I was excited... delete my post if need be:crying:

Edit: version 3/12/15 just dropped. Not 5.1 though
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
I am excited too, patience is they key. While you wait there are other 5.1 roms already out. give them a whirl till this one is released.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Really dude,

The factory images just landed this evening, they need to recompile the ROM with all the changes from the Build and then re add the features again and then start bug fixing anything that breaks booting and features e.c.t

Might be Monday if we're lucky
[Nexus 6  General] THIRSTY GNOMES:
I meant no offence. Not trying to rush the devs. R/Nexus 6 on Reddit is booming with excitement for 5.1, I guess I got caught up. Sorry. Lets get back to development and troubleshooting posts in here.

Updating

Hello,

I tried updating to the 20150311 nightly, from 20150213 nightly, All it does is reboot me to twrp, which is version 2.8.3.1

What am I doing wrong?

Also, should I be leary about updating twrp at all, what with having backups from previous versions?

Thanks in advance!

Ps. 20150213 has been rock steady for me since I installed it! Thanks devs!
[Nexus 6  General] agentfazexx:

Do a clean install. Also, I'm using kernel included. Not sure if it makes a difference but thought I'd inform.

[Nexus 6  General] randy6644:
Any solutions yet?
[Nexus 6  General] coldconfession13:
I did try that but it won't work because its not a soft brick. You don't get anything on the screen and you get a driver that you can't find. Its pretty useless. No google screen or nothing.

I got the driver, but i don't know how to deal with that

what would be safe to flash CM then? I had 5.1 BL and modem flashed ,too. My friend did the same thing. Mine so far is good. He bricked hi phone and got stuck with the QHSUSB_bulk， he didn't reflash other roms or sth.
[Nexus 6  General] bankkung:
where is the nightlies? I mean on the CM site? shamu is missing from the list today?
[Nexus 6  General] Andrewtst:
I also notice that, maybe they are preparing for 5.1 ? No idea.
[Nexus 6  General] kergefarkas:
It seems that the latest available nightly got rid of a lot of bugs (finally).

Lockscreen wallpaper is the same as the background without any hack, BT stutter seems to be gone (pretty much solid since the one nightly before the latest), UI redraws and crashes are gone, and the phone feels much more snappier than in the beginning of March.

Let's hope they keep this with 5.1 as well.

PS: I've been dirty flashing and using franco.Kernel since the beginning.
[Nexus 6  General] ieatacid:
They temporarily disabled it.

Temp: Disable shamu

Seeing reports on issues with flashing when user has already taken the
official 5.1 OTA/Factory. Turn this off to limit further scope while I
test.

[Nexus 6  General] BobbyHill:
I just updated to 3/13 from 3/12 with no issues
[Nexus 6  General] jeffallin:
Speaking from personal experience, it's safe as long as you're NOT flashing CM while running stock 5.1. (Posting this from my loaner Galaxy Note 3, anxiously waiting for my N6 back)
[Nexus 6  General] subarudroid:
I can also confirm dirty flashing latest nightly is OK, as long as you haven't updated to 5.1

Battery is starting to suck. Woke up 2 hours ago to a full charge...down to 83%. Phone estimates 8 hours of battery. Phone shows awake 100% of the time.
[Nexus 6  General] gparmar76:
Why would 5.1 be an issue? If you do a clean install with full wipe, its usually OK...unless there's some radio issue.
[Nexus 6  General] skim7x:
I unlocked bootloader, rooted, and loaded CM12 (031115) on my AT&T Nexus 6 running 5.0 on 3/11/15 with no issues. Based on what I've been reading, I'm lucky the phone never had updated with the OTA 5.1!

Only hiccups I had was that after loading CM12, I lost root (according to Titanium Backup) and had to just re-run the Chainfire autoroot tool once, and regained root immediately... not sure why I lost root after loading CM12, but it's all good now.

The only weird thing NOW is that I still don't have the Cyanogenmod boot screen... it's still the default Lollipop splash screen when I boot up the phone... small issue (or really a non-issue) unless that means that for some reason not all of the CM flash got flashed onto the phone for some reason? If the boot screen was left out, what else could have been left out... very odd... does everyone else have the CYanogenmod boot screen?

Also, LED does not pulse as they are set to... just stays on constant.
[Nexus 6  General] EasyDeath:
u are using the last nightly? 2015/3/13?

for root go to settings>developer mode>root> set apps and adb, u dont need to install chainfire or other root apps

for the led, the N6 seems to don't have the "pulsing led" its a hardware problem, i dont think they can make it pulsing with software
[Nexus 6  General] krazyflipj:
I believe pulsing led works with paid Lightflow app
[Nexus 6  General] theconkistador:
I'm also starting to experience poor battery life on 3/13. Also some lagginess in the animations and switching between apps. Anyone else seeing this?
[Nexus 6  General] psychomaniac189:
Yes I have been experiencing the same thing. Easily noticeable when you use the recent apps button.
[Nexus 6  General] skim7x:
Oh nice, thanks!

And what about the Cyanogenmod splash screen during boot? Ok not to have that?
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
Is your phone a carrier model or google? If its a carrier model then you need to rename the carrier bootanimation.zip
[Nexus 6  General] skim7x:
It's AT&T... So I have 2 bootanimation.zip files, one in /system/media and one in /oem/media ... Which one do I change and what do I rename it to? Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] oak:
/oem/media is the ATT boot animation.
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
The OEM one and just add .bak to the end like this (bootanimation.zip.bak) should see cm boot after reboot.
[Nexus 6  General] agentfazexx:
Is 3/13 safe to flash over 3/11 assuming cache/dalvik is wiped? The builds are all gone except this one and I read some stuff that maybe 3/13 is messed up?

And why are all the previous builds gone? Very odd...
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
The reason they removed them was because people who updated to 5.1 were having issues. But from what I read 12.1 is in the works already.
[Nexus 6  General] agentfazexx:
Nice.

And my experience on 3/13 so far is MMS fails to download
[Nexus 6  General] Megaflop666:
So, I've been trying to get a definitive answer. Does 3/13 the new cm12 version that is safe to flash with 5.1? I had read about the safety check they were putting in to flash cm12 on 5.1 bootloader.
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
Delete the apn your not using and it will work.

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

Yeah that is the reason we only have that one nightly.
[Nexus 6  General] Johnny424:
not an issue with att .. you must have Verizon or sprint?
[Nexus 6  General] Sentinel196:
Can anyone clarify this for me as I've been out of the game for 2 years and have just come back.

Does CM now flash the radio and bootloader every single time? Or only if a mismatch is detected? I flashed my 2 hour hold Nexus 6 to CM and nearly had a heart attack when I saw it was flashing the bootloader. lol these files never used to be included bakc when I was compiling SentinelROM from CM sources.

Cheers :)
