Anyone on Sprint able to get HotSpot working? Digging around here on xda and the internet I am finding others with hotspot not working with Sprint service.

Everything looks like it is working correctly, only no internet data transfer to connected devices. I don't get any "!" beside the WiFi or Signal icons.

Can't get it to work on any version of "M". Tried stock "Mv1", "Mv2", "JDX P9-P12", "JDX2.0", and "JDX2.0.1". I can go back to LMY47Z and no issues at all.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
im using the default hotspot option on tmobile, and its working fine. are you talking about this or the ability to "hack it" and get free tethering?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psyv01:
Using the tether hack, build.prop and settings.db edits.

JDX P9 and above already have the hacks cooked in, but I still am having no luck.

Friend at work having same issue as well. Everyone, "so far", that is having hotspot issues has been on sprint.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
hmm.. i see. i get 5gb free tethering from tmo, so just using the default tether option works for me. odd about sprint though, i wonder why its not working..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tomzefi:
Just tested out here, working on sprint for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
sweet!

are you just using the plain ole hotspot or are you trying to get "free" tethering?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tomzefi:
Free tethering bubba.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
ok, i was just curious whether these people were non being successful in using the regular wifi tether option, or if there was more to it. to me, it seems as these people were all trying to get free tethering.

btw, we all have bluetooth tether options as well, and it works. tmobile never sees when i tether via bluetooth.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tomzefi:
I don't if it matters but i set it to no password required. My son likes to watch you tube on his tablet when hr is in the car with me. So i use my phone for tethering
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
ive mine set up with a password, on WPA2 PSK.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brooklyn718941:
I have t mobile and the hot spot hack isn't working.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HiGhDRo3o5:
Set your apn like this for tmobile and hotspot should work flawless
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brooklyn718941:

YouTube won't play above 360p anymore since 2.01; I know there's an answer in her somewhere, be searching later.

Also, with the update from 1 to 2 and with the update from 2.0 to 2.01 I lost alls tabs within Chrome? Never happened before.

Lastly: although performance & battery life are MUCH better on the 2nd preview, WiFi & Google Play Services are eating through battery - whereas that wasn't the case on the 1st Preview builds.

Great builds otherwise, fully usable phone as a daily driver, thanks for that!!!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tomzefi:
Mine does. That's earth hd
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tomzefi:
Even 4k video

Edit: its a zip fix your looking for. I didn't flash any fixes though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Langduscher:
I'll search later. I just havent run into it until 2.01
[Nexus 6 Android Development] skhjpz:
Let me know when you find it, I'm at work so I can't search for it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psyv01:
It's nice to hear it is working for you.

For troubleshooting purposes, what is your setup?

Are you running a Nexus 6 on Sprint with JDX installed? I have tried every version of M available that I can find and hotspot will not work for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tomzefi:
Yes on sprint running jdx, shipped kernel. I may be confused. Free tethering is working for me. Is that the same as hotspot?

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

Never mind. Its the same. Duh.....let me take some pics and show its working.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psyv01:
If you are not paying Sprint extra for hotspot/tethering and use the native hotspot with internet data transfer.

My hotspot turns on and devices connect, but no internet data transfer. Nothing loads on connected devices.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tomzefi:
Nope not paying for it and connected devices load. The only thing I did was no password requirement
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psyv01:
What kernel and baseband are you on?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tomzefi:
I clean flashed to. Just little bits of info.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psyv01:
Well, thanks for the info.

Looks like I am going to have to do some more digging and troubleshooting to figure this out.

Thanks again for the info.

One last question. What were you on before going to JDX? I came from LMY47Z and actually have went back to it to gain my hotspot back.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tomzefi:
Resurrection ROM. Man I hope it works out. Maybe try another clean install. I don't restore anything either and I wipe system to. Don't no y it works for me. Maybe the area I am in?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psychomaniac189:

Hey mate, what is this for an nice font?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psyv01:
He attached images to show that another device connected to his hotspot had data transfer and was working.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tomzefi:
Mine does to. It goes in and out. Usually I will turn on and off airplane mode
[Nexus 6 Android Development] spevil07:
Sure, but i am interested at the font :P
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
works fine here
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tomzefi:
Oh OK. Sorry man I misunderstood you. I use this app for fonts. However, it is not completely compatible with M preview. If you get an error, cannot reach server or something, just clear app data and relaunch it. I don't remember the font name but they have a ton of them.

Are you trying to use Hotspot? My friend has been trying to figure it out. We are both on sprint, nexus 6 and can't get the Hotspot to work on any M version
[Nexus 6 Android Development] elreydenj:
There were a few times that devices wouldn't connect for me on Verizon on this rom. I simply changed the name from android AP to something else and it began working. No logic behind it but it helped...

[Nexus 6 Android Development] anmolkakkar:
Such a pain to get this ROM installed if you're coming from 5.1.1 :(

Although the instructions helped.

Setting up the phone is a bore Job as well :P

First Impressions of this ROM:

1. No bugs encountered while booting/booted up.

2. ROM flies and is very smooth

3. File Manager from cheetah mobile (i've always used that since android 4.2 and was also using on my N6 5.1.1) doesnt seems to work fully with this build. But its ok, Its still a good preview version.

Hope the battery life is good since my primary focus of installing M was to test Doze!! For the Dev, Kudos and good job. Thanks for the efforts.

Also, how has this ROM treated you guys in terms of battery, can you please help me with that?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beachbum40:
Can I possibility flash this right over top my stock 5.1.1 so to keep my set up? Or does it have to be clean installed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nismo6921:
Its always a safer bet to flash clean.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beachbum40:
Yes that's my standard way to flash usually. Thank you
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JesterGrafix:
May I ask why it was a pain? I went from stock rooted to this and it seemed simple to me...just curious.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] networkdood:
If you are coming from Lollipop, first, backup everything onto a computer, follow OP instructions:

"0. ensure you are on twrp 2.8.7+ for recovery!

1. flash bootloader if not already on M (download flashable bootloader zip)

2. flash radio if not already on M preview 2 (download flashable radio zip)

3. reboot recovery

4. flash ROM

5. format data partition if not already on M

6. boot ROM and sit your phone down for 10 minutes (seriously, things need to finish setting up!)"

After you complete the instructions, transfer your data back onto your phone from computer, or whatever source you used, and it will all be worth the "trouble."

[Nexus 6 Android Development] ANDR01DN00B:
[MENTION=1102929]okibi[/MENTION] Just a suggestion/request: you should de-bloat the ROM a bit; slim it down by removing unnecessary GAPPS. That will also decrease your upload and our download times.

Thanks.

Yup P2 same but for some reason not displayed in PC (tested on 2 different PC)

So i changed the name of the connection, no password and the AP Band is 2.4 GHz and Hotspot is now working. Yea
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Scallywag1:

New Nexus M version number clue

There is a new clue that Android M might be version 5.2 and not 6.0. Of course you need to take this with a grain of salt.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Android-M-to-get-version-number-5.2-not-6.0-new-evidence-shows_id71727

One little note. Just to play around I changed the Android version in the Build prop to 5.2. Now my Direct TV app is working where it does not when on 6.0.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JesterGrafix:
It should be 5.2, this is the same way you could do it before to check.

Quick Question: If i have already flashed M Bootloader, M Radio, and M Preview 2 (JDX) and i go back to L, and i decide to come back to M, do i need to re-flash M Bootloader and M Radio before M Preview 2 (JDK).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vergilbt:
No
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psyv01:
Depends on the method you use to revert to "L ".
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nick w:
What gapps is everyone using?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aoaleman:
The ones that come with the ROM. Do not flash any other gapps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JesterGrafix:
I use quite a few of them actually, everything that came on my N6 new I use
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DJTeeJay:
Just flashed either BENZOrom & ChromaChroma & Gapps of coarse...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psyv01:
Okay,

-Neither of those ROMs include bootloader and radio so you are still using the bootloader and radio you flashed when going to "M".

--Correct me If I am wrong for I have never used those ROMs.

-I ask about method because if you flash back to "L" using a stock image then you will be flashing over your bootloader and radio from "M" and reverting back to the versions of the bootloader and radio of that image.

-If you just wiped and flashed custom ROMs then the most likely case is that you are still on the "M" versions.

-Me personally, If I am going from a major version change, example: 5.0 to 5.1.1 then I always flash the "stock image" of the version the ROM was built from prior to flashing the custom ROM over it.

-I do this to insure that I have correct bootloader/kernel, radio/modem, and so on. This is just something I do and does take a lot more time. I prefer to be safe than sorry.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
lol, you are looking at this WAY too deeply. if it works, leave the bootloader and radio, if not then change it. but, the m bootloader works on 5.1 and 5.1.1, and the radio, any radio works, just choose youre favorite.

oh, btw, i dont follow what most people believe is the right way to do things, yet i am the only one i know that never runs into issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psyv01:
Glad you never run into issues.

But the purpose of forums is to help and understand.

At least to me it is.

In order to help anyone and not steer them wrong it helps to know as much as you can about what lead up to their problem.

I prefer to remove all possible causes of problems as much as possible when I flash.

As I said before, it is the way "I" flash. I have no idea if it is considered the "right" way or not.

I am and industrial maintenance technician and troubleshooting is a way of life for me. I tend to dive super deep into something. Lol. Just who I am.

I know that it's not recommended, but has anyone tried flashing this rom without formatting data? Just curious if it would still boot, I would try it myself but I'm at work rn lol

[Nexus 6 Android Development] JNMM:
Awesome I figured you wouldn't haha that's the simms way! Did you end up doing a full wipe when going from 5.1.1 to m the first time? I don't think I'll try that dirty flash lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
the first time, i dirty flashed m over 5.1.1. and it booted and ran fine, except for an issue with the pulldown. so i deleted the data partition, and system partition, then reflashed m. and its been fine since. btw, i made a 5.1.1 nandroid, and have been going back and forth from 5.1.1 to m and back :)

Battery Life better than on L?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] e29:
Battery life is pretty good on m, remember its still a preview
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LeoRex:
Much. Doze is pretty effective. When active, it cut my idle draw by about 66%. Only thing draining power was my radios. Active is about the same as 5.1.1... But the big difference is that, due to the reduction of idle usage, I'd lose a lot less power just sitting there.

Considering that my phone is sitting on a table or desk quite a bit, I'm happy with the results.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nick w:
What's the process for going back to L? Twrp restore? Thanks n
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
if you make a twrp backup, then just restore ot, thats the easiest way. other ways would be to wipe and flash, or flash a factory image.
