[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrumps:
Hi all! So, i love my N6 but the data speeds are horrible. In the same room as a galaxy s4, my data speeds peak at maybe 200kB/s and on the rare occasion, it might reach 1.8mB on LTE. Meanwhile the s4 is blazing with LTE on the same tmo network.. I have unlimited data. I have the 95r radio and i have flashed all radios and this is the "fastest." sometimes my data wont even register.. It starts working only after i change to a different apn and switch back.. I use tmo IPv6.

Can anybody help me? I cant brag about my phone when i cant connect to youtube..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
T-Mobile? I do believe your radio should be LMY47M, not LMY47D. Tried this one? If not, give it a go, should fix your issues. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934551015
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrumps:
Thanks trying it now! Praying while i do☺

Also, is this a twrp flashable zip or a fastboot file?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
If it doesn't work, no worries. We leave no man behind in this thread :p your issue will get sorted one way or another. However, if you haven't tried M, I do believe that should fix it. Good luck! Let us know how it goes for you.

Oh, I saw your edit. It's a flashable zip in TWRP.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrumps:
Well the phone is better now but now im not seeing lte.. Im getting faster H+ speeds though... About 10mb down and only 2mb up..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
You were at 200kb down on last radio, right? If so I would assume literally 50x stronger speed is a good indicator you are on the right radio even if you are not getting LTE right now - if not let me know and we can keep trying stuff. Glad your phone is actually acting like it's in the right decade now at least regardless
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrumps:
Yeah I'm definitely happier! Bad news though: Even with the zip you gave me, now I get the exclamation mark on the signal bars... About ever 3 minutes..

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
He said he was already on 95r (D radio) to start, so I linked him to M - isn't T-Mobile supposed to be M build anyway? I dunno, I'm on AT&T and we don't have VoLTE for the N6 so I mostly just know what I read, but I do know the M build was a T-Mobile OTA and D was the radio that wasn't working for him.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micmars:
True, M build is for TMO, but there are only 2 modems of which I'm aware, 95R and 98R.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you wipe data, then yes. but it all depends what rom you are coming from. if you are coming from stock, you will jave to wipe data, or it wont boot.

Last time I had simply used NRT to do everything. Can dirty flash be done with NRT as well?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrbxx7:
Place ROM zip in sdcard location of choice. Usually either your download folder or root of sdcard. Reboot to twrp, hit install and find the ROM zip and swipe right to install. You could use nrt however twrp is much quicker and easier imo.

Edit. I would also make a nandroid of your current setup just in case...never hurts to have one on hand.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You had already said that. You must always be prepared to wipe in case something doesn't work so always backup your rom via nandroid and your apps by titanium before flashing.

I've seen posted in numerous threads to never try and downgrade your bootloader but never a reason as to why other than it will cause a hard brick. What is the reason? Is it by design, a software/hardware limitation or just google being aholes?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
From what I remember reading, it's a Motorola thing.

Seems like for all the trouble it causes someone would figure out a way around that limitation. But I would think if there was a way someone would have figured it out by now if it was possible. Thanks for the quick response. Will have to do some more research.

The reason that it'll brick is that the bootloader image that they flash contains several partitions, not just the bootloader. It contains GPT and TZ partitions, as well. Those can't be downgraded. IMO, it's the most stupid design I've ever seen for a supposedly "open" unlocked phone.

Hi guys, I have another question for you. I have noticed that in some games the navbar doesn't hide, but the buttons disappear. Here's a screenshot with Plague Inc.

This also happens with Google camera, but not in YouTube. Is this normal?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
I would imagine your ROM has expanded desktop/immersive mode feature - that is what that appears to be. If it is a feature in your ROM you can possibly tweak it and most likely turn it off if you wish. If you are simply curious if it's normal, I would say yes - just expanded desktop/immersive mode. If you wish to tweak/disable it, look for expanded desktop in your ROM. If you are not sure where to find that, let us know what you are running and I am sure someone can direct you to the proper menu. Hope that helps - do reply if you wish to tweak this and need assistance doing so or if no on a custom ROM and my explanation is maybe entirely wrong.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veesix:
I am running stock 5.1.0 now, only with root and twrp recovery. It doesn't happen in every full screen app, that's why I was concerned ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
OK, take this with a grain of salt as I do avoid stock like the plague - I believe this is standard stock behavior. Expanded desktop (the feature that allows you to control immersive mode) is a feature only certain ROMs have - stock does not. It appears from the articles I have found (all older, but nothing newer to suggest change) that immersive mode is only enabled by default for certain apps, and either apps, Xposed modules or custom ROMs are required if one wishes to tweak this to work for all apps. This is what I am basing all this on: http://www.guidingtech.com/31618/enable-immersive-mode-android/

Nexus 6 Seriouslly dead. HELP.

So i wanted to root my Nexus 6 from sprint, that was all well and good, i had a note 3 for a while prior and was able to mod the crap out of that thing. no problem. this is simpler, being that it is a google device (or so i thought). I use my old knowledge, root it using chainfire's autoroot, throw the latest TWRP on there, and a couple roms in the internal to play with for the next couple hours. Should be fun. 'Should' being the operative word. My mistake lays in the fact that the rom from liquid smooth didnt take, one I badly wanted. In an effort to be thorough, I manually checked every box in the wipe function of TWRP. I rebooted to a bootloop.

7 hours later I am still in this boot loop. I have messed with Wugs stuff, adb sideloading, straight command line, deep linux, cmd for windows. reseting the whole phone. all of it. I could break anything. Please, Help me XDA Forums, you're my only hope.

Yea, I wiped that out when I tried to stock rom.. I feel as dumb as this situation is. Was to tired to notice all of the mistakes I was making.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuriHL:
I'm assuming you tried restoring the phone with the factory image? I don't see that listed in what you tried, so, I'm just asking. Also, to get to TWRP without it being flash is possible if you can get to fastboot mode. you can do a 'fastboot boot twrpnamegoeshere.img' and it'll boot it in memory without having to have it flashed. That's how I root my device after an update.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ownmaster 5000:
Adb /fastboot connectivity

Basically, the only lead I can draw for myself is wug's tools. The only issue with those tools, is that they won't recognize fastboot or ADB connectivity while it's in the bootloader. And for the sake of ignorance, if you have an in depth list of things that I could try I will try them for you, even if I feel that I've already tried them. Someone has to be able to get through this. Do you know a way to unlock the bootloader from the boot loader?

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Samuri, I did not know you could do that.. Care to point me in a good direction with that? I'll try it when I get home.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DutchDogg54:
Yes, you do unlock the bootloader from the bootloader, that's the beauty of it :) BUT you need to have toggled the OEM unlock option in development options to unlock it, which means you need to have either 1) already toggled that before getting out of the operating system, or 2) get to where you can boot up and get to developer options to toggle that option on.

If you can get to recovery, here are flashable stock images: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/fxz-nexus-6-recovery-flashable-fastboot-t3066052

If you can't get to recovery, I'd recommend following this thread's instructions for getting fastboot working: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Then this thread's instructions about half way down under "Step 5. Flashing" for flashing stock image: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008 -

Waiting for device...

So, I am running fastboot from a file instead of a native install (works just the same) and it just says waiting for device..

./fastboot-linux boot twrp-2.8.6.0-shamu.img <<< *fastboot-linux* is fastboot. and I told it to boot device from that file. If successful, the device will run FROM the file On the device. allowing me to use twrp that isn't installed. same way with linux on USB (you run it from usb and is fully functional). it communicates to the device in download mode through every other function including fastboot format userdata && format cache.

My question is, can you unlock the bootloader from fastboot. I can use linux or windows.

If I am able to unlock the bootloader OR get TWRP running in a persistance file communicating to the device I can get my phone back.

Only if you had gone in and set the oem enabled flag in the developer options previously. If you had not done so, your device may be permanently bricked.

Nexus 6 as daily driver?

Hi Nexus 6 people.

Would anyone recommend a Nexus 6 as a daily driver for me?

I have been reading all the posts for new users and I really don't think I should be rooting or flashing a new phone.

I do really like the Nexus 6, however as someone who is never going to even unlock it do you think I would be better off with something else?

I have been very happy with my Note 2 for two years and another Samsung would seem to be the best alternative. It lives in my pockets, is often knocked, sometimes dropped and even occasionally gets used in heavy rain. I use a good slim TPU case and a screen protector.

So I guess I'm wondering if you think the N6 will be able to survive and also if I would be happy using stock Android for everyday phone use? I also have a Nexus 7 2013 which is stock and unrooted that I love but I know the tablet experience is not the same.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mistertac:
I think it's a great phone, even if you decided to never unlock and ROM it. But I guess my question is... Why wouldn't you? You could at least run an optimized stock ROM.

I work construction and my Nexus takes many many falls and drops and is in a very tough environment everyday, it's held up better than any other phone I've ever had. I have a Glass Screen Protector, and a Supcase on it, and they're great.

I'm biased towards the Nexus though and wouldn't really recommend anything else lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Coming from an S5 this phone is VERY bland stock IMO, bores me to tears. I'd never buy a Nexus to stay stock.. I'd go something like LG maybe for that but that's just me.

Thanks [MENTION=5500746]Mistertac[/MENTION] it's really good to hear it's a robust phone.

Actually, just writing this has made me think that it's possible I could have more time in the future so maybe the Nexus would be worth having anyway :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Rather difficult to answer, but I'll try.

The size of the N6 needs a larger belt case. I use

a vertical type. And an ultra thin hard case (eBay) for better grip. No screen protector.

When you start the N6 you will see big icons.

Google set the DPI value to 560 while the native resolution is 493 DPI. The icons are too big in my view.

After 1 day I rooted the N6 and changed the LCD density to a value of 384 and the font size to huge. This puts the N6 in tablet mode and there is a lot more room for icons and widgets on the display. In fact a better use of the 2560 x 1440 pixels.

Since the customization of my N6 I don't use/need my N7 tablet anymore. Also less use of the PC.

Conclusion.

Great phone for daily use. Customizable. Many 'tablet' options with root access.

Rooting strongly advised. I suggest you should visit www.wugfresh.com.
