I'll come back to this tomorrow morning. With my original nexus 6 I was connected via Band 12. If I connect tomorrow... Then I'll know for sure. No one in my building gets signal in the bathroom next to the elevators because its so deep in. With my nexus 6... I was happy taking care of business and enjoying LTE. I'll let you know tomorrow morning. :D
[Nexus 6P General] iGoogleNexus:
So I just got into work and I'm inside the rest room within the building. I have band 12 :)
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
I never flashed the old radio found in this thread, but after the 6.0.1 update I now get band 12 :)
[Nexus 6P General] manardj1:
Just remove the -w flag from flash-all.bat. You can also remove the userdata.img file just to be safe, but I've never had it erase my storage. It's always good practice to backup anything you don't want to lose just in case regardless.
[Nexus 6P General] flex3269:
So can we just flash to newest 6.0.1 radio to get band 12? Or do we have to flash the whole update? I'm currently running ASOIP.
[Nexus 6P General] Ovrclck:
Band 12 working on Project Fi with 6.01. Too bad Fi doesn't support b12. Calls drop to Hspa
[Nexus 6P General] zgroten:
So it seems that the systemless root with SuperSU 2.61 that modifies the boot.img breaks T-Mobile WiFi calling.

Anyone else able to get WiFi calling working on 6.0.1 with SuperSU?
[Nexus 6P General] xrealtalk:
Band 12 confirmed Riverside, CA. after manually flashing 6.0.1
[Nexus 6P General] Ofthecats:
How would we test?

And where did you get the idea it doesn't work? First hand? Reported by others?
[Nexus 6P General] inspeckta_dek:
WiFi calling works for me. I'm on 6.0.1 rooted got superuser 2.61. Put phone on airplane mode turn on WiFi n made calls

Anyone seen 12 in NYC? I've seen nothing but 4. Not that it's not functioning great.

Sent from a 128th Legion Stormtrooper 6P
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
No idea if its live in NYC but if it is you'll get CA in most places which will only show as band 4 on apps. Google needs to make network diagnostic tools for Nexus devices. Apps guess based on location of tower.
[Nexus 6P General] drshorty:
I update my to 6.0.1 but i live in Brooklyn NY and it say band 4. Everything work good. I don't no what is band 12 but if u try YouTube 4k video it buff too much.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Band 12 is slower then band 4 but has better penetration through building
[Nexus 6P General] Ofthecats:
What app is good to check the band?

Does the system automatically select the best band?
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
The system will choose the best band but if you have band 4 or band 12 you will get BOTH at once. That's what you want.
[Nexus 6P General] norwoodesteel:
i believe the 5x can get both but the 6p cannot,( no 4-12 carrier aggregation)
[Nexus 6P General] apexcell:
No expert, but I've read reports to the contrary, with references.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/co...le_announcement_discussion_megathread/cvisslm
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
6P can. The X10 modem has it.
[Nexus 6P General] norwoodesteel:
the 6p specs are clearly lacking CA B4-B12, which means no band 4 to band 12 aggregation..

the 5x specs clearly shows CA B4-B12.

i contacted google when the phones came out, this was confirmed.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
It has CA. I can guarantee it.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
The spec page is wrong. Check the FCC RF analysis page. They show it having band 4+12 and 12+4 CA
[Nexus 6P General] norwoodesteel:
i was assured by google that the spec page was 100% correct, i wish you are right.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
You do know Google claimed the Nexus 4 didn't have LTE either?
[Nexus 6P General] ReaperNY:
Yes it works after I updated through OTA.

Hello people.

Its possible to enable band 28 on the 6p "NA" version? Or flash the radio of international version on the NA version, to have band 28?

Or another metod to enable this band on the north amercan version?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] clupone:
Have Nexus 6p w/6.0.1 - no Band 12

I updated my Nexus 6p to Android 6.0.1. I have rebooted the phone, and it still only connects to Band 4. T Mobile says in my area, I am between two towers, both of which offer Band 12. ...so for me, Android 6.0.1 did NOT enable LTE Band 12.
[Nexus 6P General] yunierdj:
I'm like you on this. No band 12 with T-Mobile and 6.0.1
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
Band 4 is preferred over band 12, so if you are in a band 4 area you won't see band 12 until you go out of reach of band 4. You would rather be on band 4 anyways, as it's faster.
[Nexus 6P General] clupone:
Thank you, Geoff

AH, pardon my ignorance. I thought Band 12 was faster, but I see now I was wrong. (I went online and saw other references to exactly what you said -- that Band 4 is faster and is preferred over Band 12.)

Chris
[Nexus 6P General] yunierdj:
Indeed I didn't know that. What I do know is that band 12 is supposed to penetrate building structures better than band 4 improving T-Mobile coverage but indeed is slower.
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
You can think of band 12 as the same as Verizon's nationwide band 13 (also 700MHz), and they both have band 4, while Verizon markets their band 4 as "XLTE". Band 4 can easily get 100Mbps+ as they have 20Mhz worth in many markets, compared to band 12 which I believe is limited to 5MHz, maybe 10, and can get around 25Mbps or so.
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
I just moved to 6.0.1 and no band 12 on T-Mobile with the radio from 6.0.1 I had the old radio before and had band 12 so I know it's working with the right radio. I guess it's officially enabled in 6.0.1 in spite of what reports may claim.
[Nexus 6P General] big gulps huh?:
Updated to 6.0.1 and am connected to Band 12 while on vacation in Temecula CA for Christmas
[Nexus 6P General] twolfekc:
It certainly is enabled
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
Oh yeah, it started working. Strange, it first seemed to favor HSPA+ rather than LTE, then after a reboot band 12 started working :good:

Now let's see whether WiFi calling is more reliable than before.
[Nexus 6P General] NCguy:
What about speed of band 2 vs. 4?
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
Band 4 still provides higher speeds.
[Nexus 6P General] galaxy s4 nutjob:
I'm on project Fi and Im showing band 4 only not sure how to exactly make it go to band 12. Move around maybe? ill leave for a few otherwise ill just flash the 6.0.1 radio again. Am I missing something? has anyone else on Fi noticed Wifi Calling isnt working either, maybe due to the Rom I'm using.
[Nexus 6P General] Dodolom:
If I am on a 6.0.1 custom ROM, I can still flash this, right?
[Nexus 6P General] DJMartini:
You can... It's just another radio. Although I've been reading and being told that 6.0.1 radio was supposed to be band 12 enabled. I didn't see it working for me so I flashed this radio and got it back.
[Nexus 6P General] Dodolom:
Thanks, I appreciate it.
[Nexus 6P General] sequan:
So here is something new that I am seeing in Atlanta on T-Mobile. In Brookhaven and Buckhead I am seeing my phone switching from Band 4 to Band 12 when I am in the basement of my building or other bad signal areas. I will add one more thing... During the switch the person you are speaking to will disappear and not hear you for about 2 -3 seconds. There are also times that the call just drops. So it looks like they have some more work to do still.
[Nexus 6P General] SirVilhelm:
I am in Orange county, CA and only have ever connected to band 4 on fi. Not sure how to test band 12 but would like to try

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Ah that makes sense as to why I've never seen band 12, thank you.
[Nexus 6P General] galaxy s4 nutjob:
If support did just confirm they have just rolled out support for band 12 so is it worth opening up that band? On my phone. I'm in a band 4 area though
[Nexus 6P General] SirVilhelm:
From what I understand if you take the 6.0.1 OTA update that will open the band for use. You shouldn't have to do anything extra
[Nexus 6P General] yunierdj:
Correct.
[Nexus 6P General] kenhicg:
I've been seeing band 12 on my stock 6p since 6.01.
[Nexus 6P General] DJMartini:
Yep. I went back to newest radio with 6.0.1 and seeing band 12
[Nexus 6P General] selayan:
I'm on the latest 6p image. I do not see band 12 and I am on band 4. I can't seem to get wifi calling or Volte working on metro pcs. Volte was working on my nexus 6 with metropcs and I believe it was because of band 12.
[Nexus 6P General] Yamalito:
I flashed the radio in this post and nothing happened. Is there anything else that I need to do in order to activate band 12?
[Nexus 6P General] zikronix:
Did we ever find out for sure if this phone support carrier aggregation of B4-12, the specs said no but I thought i read it some where?
[Nexus 6P General] evocalante:
I live in Miami and just decided to check if I got 12 band and Boom! :)
[Nexus 6P General] Craxx:
Hy

on my working Pure Nexus Rom i flashed radio 129 with adb to get Volte in Germany. But after flashing i get no signal. So i tried radio 2.50 which worked before, but now also no signal. ??? Some advice would be nice.

EDIT:

OK got it the adb version was too old ;)
[Nexus 6P General] mweis:
how can i see if volte is working?
[Nexus 6P General] onesolo:
Can anyone tell me if with the latest stock roms, by it self without any tweak, does the 6P works with VoLTE ?! And does it work by itself or does the carrier also needs to give support for it ?!
[Nexus 6P General] Papote3:
Yes VoLTE is working fine on latest build.

Also both the phone and the carrier need to support it. I'm on T-Mobile and MHC19Q build and VoLTE works just fine, as do WiFi calling.
[Nexus 6P General] onesolo:
And another thing, what is the band for VoLTE?! Can be any band or must be band 12 ?!
[Nexus 6P General] kwamayze:
Will be grateful if someone could enable band 20 on nexus 6p
[Nexus 6P General] SpookyTunes:
I believe the Global model has band 20.

Global model:

LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 9(1800), 17(700), 19(800), 20(800), 28(700), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)

American model:

LTE band 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 12(700), 13(700), 17(700), 25(1900), 26(850), 29(700), 30(2300), 41(2500)
[Nexus 6P General] micha-s_1e4:
I'm on T-Mobile Germany. There's no VoLTE at my Nexus 6P with latest Firmware.

(On iPhone before VoLTE works fine.)
[Nexus 6P General] SpookyTunes:
I think he was referring to "T-Mobile USA". I have TMOUS and it has worked since day one. You may want to check your APN settings and try adding one for IMS.
[Nexus 6P General] chikess:
T Mob Germany is only available on a few devices and they Controll it over the IMEI. No way if u haven't a branded Samsung 6 / 6 edge or Lumia 950 or a biten Apple.

[Nexus 6P General] ryaniskira:
Funny thing is I never got that initial OTA that disabled band 12. I got the OTA after that though and band 12 was disabled until they decided to re enable it.
[Nexus 6P General] kwamayze:
Problem is I bought the US Version
[Nexus 6P General] ttminh1997:
The US and Global version have different modems that support different bands. Since it's a hardware issue and not a software issue (Google publically said that they disabled band 12 due to concerns over VoLTE and whether it could function 100% of the time), you can't actually "enable" band 20.
[Nexus 6P General] calebcabob:
If you're on Verizon, try this out. Dottat is the man with this stuff! I don't think it would necessarily be limited to only verizon, so I say give it a shot either way.:good:
[Nexus 6P General] cameljockey1:

[Nexus 6P General] r4w0ne:
I'm still getting band 4 everywhere in Houston and I'm on the newest 6.0.1 build. Did you flash the above baseband on 6.0.1?
[Nexus 6P General] cameljockey1:
Yes I am on the latest pure nexus rom. The first time I flashed it it did not work. I flashed it again and it got signal. I also have the APN settings on ipv4 not ipv6. I have roaming on as well. Download LTE discovery from the play store as well it will tell you if band 12 is around you. It will say unknown. Let me know if you need more help.
[Nexus 6P General] bobbarker2:
OP closed the thread and editted links. Happen to have a copy of the files/process? I'm on VZW with radio v1.29 (just switched to this version radio, was on the most recent but i kept having problems with complete network signal loss at random times while stationary, for 5-10 seconds and then it coming back up) and am interested in what was done.
[Nexus 6P General] calebcabob:
You've lost me. The thread I linked works fine. There are no external links you need - just his guide. Which ROM are you running?

Here's his guide if you are still having trouble viewing it.

Here's a fairly simple fix to a lingering issue that affected the VZW m9. The fix came about during a discussion with the repair efforts [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] made on one of the many phones that either end up without service or dead in his hands. Guess you could say this was a lemons to lemonade moment. The key to this was the realization that unlike the m8, the stock recovery on the m9 forward NO LONGER resets the golden nv radion settings. This process will do just that....

Remove volte from account. (If already enabled).

Then latest ruu and factory reset

fastboot erase modem_st1

fastboot erase modem_st2

Then reboot and try volte activation.
[Nexus 6P General] bobbarker2:
Must be a Tapatalk glitch then.
[Nexus 6P General] NxtGenCowboy:
Doesn't band 12 automatically work now, if using on TMO.. Same with VoLTE
[Nexus 6P General] Caltinpla:
Yes, you can use the LTE Discovery app to check what band you're on
[Nexus 6P General] luckyfate:
After I flashed this radio, my nexus 6p cannot make a call or receive call on Verizon, but data works fine. Do you guys have any idea? However, when I put TMobile sim, everything including voice, text and data works fine. I even unrooted and flash latest stock ROM, Verizon still does not work, only data and text work. I check sim status where the service state is Out of Service. Did I break the phone when I flashed the so-called band 12 radio?
[Nexus 6P General] jiajialing:
anyone tried this on Australia Telstra 4g?

tks
[Nexus 6P General] Remen95:
Just saw your post. Yes, that radio is likely old now and outdated. You would be best served searching for a stock radio; the newest version and flashing that.
[Nexus 6P General] luckyfate:
Yes, I did flash to almost every stock rom original factory image from Google, hoping to fix network or Sim error when forwarding number to different handset. All roms and radios did not fix this issue, I am on TMobile by the way. However, voice, text, data works just fine, only issue is to toward number from the phone to anther number, it pops up "network or Sim card error". I used to do it just fine from phone before I flashed this v01. 29 radio. People should not try to flash this radio or you will be sorry.

Hi, I had that experience, my phone was "bricked" for about a day after flashing this radio: in my case I have calls but no data at all: no 3g, no 2g, no lte, no nothing, checked all the possible combinations in settings and info menu, flashed all the custom rooms here, all the radios and.... nothing, same result no data again, and again, and again, the only thing that saves the day was the EFS partition backup that I did with twrp some time ago, god bless that 8MB of info..... so make a backup first!!!

Howto Flash modem without ADB or Fastboot

I have Nexus 6P that has no data connection on the USB C port. This device is unrecognized in Windows, MacOS, or Linux. This means I essentially cannot use adb or fastboot to flash modem or recovery img files.

I can at least transfer files to/from this device using apps like Airdroid, etc. but I need to be able to sideload, flash, upgrade, etc. using TWRP and files stored on the device itself. What options to I have specifically to get this version of the modem firmware that enables VoLTE on Band 12 onto my phone?

After having my Nexus 6p in a drawer a little over a year I pulled it out and put a Tmobile SIM in it only to find a crippled band 12 enabled. I get 5 bars of signal strength but zero connectivity - I can't even make calls or text! Now there are also issues with this phone staying connected to band 2 or 4 in my area and after like 30 seconds the phone will auto fall back to band 12 so I pretty much have wifi only device right now. Please help me! :)

This Nexus 6p is unlocked and rooted with SuperSU.

Recovery is TWRP v3.0.2-2

Currently loaded with the following firmware / ROM

Angler

Android v6.0.1

[Nexus 6P General] ArkAngel06:
Except you have to download a 1gb file that you only need 1/1000th of. Then extracting it. Not to mention that has to be done on a computer with your phone plugged into it, instead of just downloading a simple little zip while you're at work on break or something.

I'm not saying its not easy to do, just a hell of a lot more steps that could be easily cut out.
