[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
It does not.
[Nexus 6P General] SuperSmashedBro:
Is there any way I could test that it's working or will I only know when it starts using band 12?
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
You'll only know when it starts using band 12. Your modem should match my screenshot. Run lte discovery on log mode and it will has a history so you don't need to keep checking
[Nexus 6P General] rroohh93:
so it does contain all the changes in the newer radio versions (2.15) plus the Band 12 enabled right?
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
No patches at all. It's the original radio with band 12.
[Nexus 6P General] darus214:
Does this enable Volte/wifi calling on ATT?
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
No ATT handles that in their system.
[Nexus 6P General] XBOHDPuKC:
I believe Project Fi stated specifically that it does not and have no plans yet to support VoLTE, neither on T-Mobile nor on Sprint network. Whether it's a function of the specific radio for Project Fi - I don't know, but it might as well be.

Project Fi's lack of support of concurrent voice and data on Sprint is completely stupid at this point, it's 2015 for goodness sake.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
The issue with Fi is switching from VoLTE on T-Mobile to say normal Sprint Service was causing issues on initial batch of SIMs. That's why they disabled it.
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
I plan to use my 6P on Verizon, but also have a T-Mobile SIM that I test out from time to time. I want to see if I get band 12 here, is there any issue flashing this radio if I plan to primarily use it on Verizon?
[Nexus 6P General] Mikey:
Verizon doesnt use band 12, it uses 13........but Verizon and T-Mobile share bands 2 and 4 so i dont see why it shoudn't work. I might be wrong but you can always flash back to the newer radio if you dont get a signal??
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
I'm aware they use band 13, but I wanted band 12 support for when I test out T-Mobile as well
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
I have not tested the radio on Verizon but it should work fine on all carriers. I test Sprint just because I was curious.
[Nexus 6P General] rroohh93:
So if this is an old version of the radio, is it missing anything against the newest radio?
[Nexus 6P General] pedxing:
I got my Nexus 6p yesterday and started it without internet or account setup just to get to the developer options to allow the bootloader to be unlocked. Then unlocked it and restarted. No OTA came through so still on the original radio and Band 12 and VoLTE and Carrier Aggregation work great. CA is amazing -- at home I was getting 6-8 Mbit on B12 -- now it's 30Mbit!

Although I think in general the 6p is better than the Nexus 6 for reception on all radios. My wifi is stronger now -- it doesn't drop in certain areas of the building at work. Which is crazy because I'm used to thinking of Moto as having great reception.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
No idea what it would be missing besides some patches
[Nexus 6P General] designgears:
Typical Xda, everyone wants a feaking silver platter.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Got to hold there hands ;)
[Nexus 6P General] ArkAngel06:
Jesus Christ, I'm very familiar with fastboot and ADB, and have it set up on my pc and it works fine. Whats wrong with making a suggestion to make the method easier?

Obviously OP agreed, he uploaded the single radio.img, which is a definite improvement.

When I make tutorials on this site, and I've made plenty, I try to make the files the most organized and simple that I can. I wouldn't tell someone to download a factory image and extract a file, that's for sure.
[Nexus 6P General] mchu6am4:
Is this any good for UK and in particular for Three network?
[Nexus 6P General] zosimov21:
Band 12 is not supported in some South East US

http://www.spectrumgateway.com/t-mobile-700a-spectrum
[Nexus 6P General] siegesoldier:
Tried again on latest build. radio works fine with Project fi. Make sure you flash the latest vendor partition.
[Nexus 6P General] cammykool:
Working great here! Thank you! Downtown LA
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
If three has band 12 lte yes.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
I'm working on another way of activating band 12 thru qcom.
[Nexus 6P General] edwardlanti:
I received my Nexus 6p today and I have Band 12 working out the box!
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
As long as you don't OTA. You'll be good
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
I do wonder why Google is not enabling this. If T-Mobile is causing the issue or what. I'm guessing it has to do with Fi and band 12 more then T-Mobile and band 12 as Fi can't make calls over band 12 like T-Mobile can.
[Nexus 6P General] just4747:
So the first few days of having this radio flashed, I had no issues and did eventually see it connected to band 12 once. But the past 1-2 days I have been having frequent issues of losing my T-Mobile service completely, with the phone telling me no service, emergency calls only. Toggling airplane mode/data rarely fixes it and after a reboot, it sometimes helps or it helps and then loses service again. This morning I woke up to no service and a no SIM card message.

I have tried removing and re-insterting the SIM card, resetting network settings in options, checked all other settings I could think of and I am still having the issue. The phone is sitting on my desk at work and literally goes in and out of service randomly with no change or movement. I cannot pinpoint a pattern, it just seems random. Sometimes I have perfectly full service.

Any idea why this is happening now and if it is related to this radio???

Other things I'd done lately are flash Elemental X's kernel and used his Kernel manager app to change color and gesture settings. I've also installed LTE discovery to check for the LTE bands.

I also have no case on the phone so that's not an issue.
[Nexus 6P General] Ovrclck:
So I shouldn't even bother then since I'm on Fi?
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
I'd flash for band 12 just understand that if band 12 is all you get you can't call 911.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
What's your system version? You need the build that ends in L not M. M is for Fi
[Nexus 6P General] just4747:
My Android Build version? Do you mean starts with L vs. M?

I have build MDB08K.

Also, people on both Tmo and Fi seem to have been using this radio fine (including myself until a day ago when I got these issues...).
[Nexus 6P General] Mikey:
You should NOT be having people flash radios in a zip file either, it can be dangerous. Somethings on XDA are not meant to be simple, if they or you want simple, dont root ;)

My 2cents
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
I agree. I like making stuff simple but fastboot is simple and a tool everyone should learn and use.
[Nexus 6P General] Ovrclck:
Gotcha. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
I personally rather have band 12 then not. I mean if I'm in a spot where band 12 can't reach I'm sure nothing else can and I rather be able to message someone to call 911 then not being able to do anything.
[Nexus 6P General] obsanity:
Thank you. That's all I'm saying here. I can't believe that FCC made this rule and is forcing T-Mobile to shut it down unless VoLTE is implemented.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
okay a couple of notes. I am noticing some instability with the radios. This could be what the patches fix but also remember the new radios disable band 12. I am personally going back to the stock radios for now and going to experiment getting them on thru qcom tools.
[Nexus 6P General] cdd543:
I have noticed some flakiness as well. I'm on tmo and flashed the radio. Today I was in a band 12 location and it would fluctuate from 3g to HSPA to LTE continually and not grab and stick on anything.
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
If Google is officially working on band 12 support, I think we can wait for a bit and stay with the latest radios instead if they are more reliable.
[Nexus 6P General] CitySlicka:
Is there a way to check and see if band 12 work , without tinkering with the phone? Possibly through an app from play store?
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery

Of course you have to be in an area that has band 12.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
I'll probably go back to the flaky radios tbh. I'll be in Orlando soon and I have no idea what coverage is like in Disney. I know they have band 12 though.
[Nexus 6P General] NCguy:
So what is wrong with band 12 exactly? Is it that VoLTE doesn't work? Because VoLTE works great on other bands like 2 and 4.
[Nexus 6P General] dalbers:
My wife has T-Mobile and we were in Disney in Orlando in August. She had no issues with her Nexus 5 (No band 12) and Disney has wifi across the entire park so even if you didn't have reception with T-Mobile the wifi calling makes it unnecessary anyway. Her T-Mobile reception was better than my AT&T coverage in the same places in Orlando though both kind of sucked at times.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Great to know. I'm so excited lol I know its off topic :P
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
I don't know if its band 12 so much as the old radios that cause my issues or if it's the radios tbh. T-Mobile has been off for me recently in my area. It could be the surge in people on band 12 since the 6s/plus and other phones are selling like hot cakes. I'll be testing tho.
[Nexus 6P General] nomisr:
I have to say, switching from the Nexus 5 to the Nexus 6p, my reception at my office has gotten 100x better. Before, I would only get reception at my desk, but when I go into the middle of the building or into the break room, elevator, the reception drops. Now with the 6p, I get full bar even in the elevators. I wonder if I have band 12 active for some reason.
[Nexus 6P General] ryaniskira:
I noticed this too when I was connected to band 12. Strange thing is at first it held onto LTE for a good hour or 2 then started fluctuating every 30 minutes from 3G and HSPA+ then it would hop back onto LTE.

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

VoLTE worked for me on Band 12 I think the reason they disabled it is E911 issues.
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
Install LTE Discovery and you will find out.
[Nexus 6P General] NCguy:
So E911 works with band 2 and 4 VoLTE but not band 12 VoLTE?
[Nexus 6P General] kolyan:
Who said M is for Fi ?
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
People on T-Mobile got the OTA to L. While M went to Fi users.
[Nexus 6P General] kolyan:
I have one without SIM its on D and one with Fi SIM its on K

They were labeling all builds before, then said its one build for all carriers
[Nexus 6P General] nomisr:
Thanks. Looks like i got band 12
[Nexus 6P General] dcdttu:
So anyone care to guess on why VoLTE works on the Nexus 6P and 5X, but Band 12 is still disabled? The only reason I know that B12 is disabled is because the phones needed VoLTE to be able to make calls and dial 911 in an area that's B12 only.. I'd really like this to be officially supported on the phones.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
My guess is they are trying to figure out how to keep band 12 disabled for Fi while leaving it on for T-Mobile. Since Fi does not use volte
[Nexus 6P General] bzegil:
Not sure how true that is... I'm on Fi and got the OTA to L not M.
[Nexus 6P General] ryaniskira:
I think they are trying to make sure it works over band 12.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
It worke for me
[Nexus 6P General] NCguy:
So are you saying that as currently implemented when on B12 only that VoLTE doesn't work and the phone can't actually make calls?
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Volte will make calls on band 12. It works perfectly right now.
[Nexus 6P General] NCguy:
So is it E911 that's flaky on B12 only?
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
No just some hand off from lte to 3G
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Less flaky today. I'm guessing it was network upgrades since T-Mobile has been doing A LOT
[Nexus 6P General] mousefai0922:
sorry, but i was curious

what is fastboot enabled?

i have my phone unlocked and rooted tho
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Means fastboot is ready to go on your computer
[Nexus 6P General] kolyan:
It was false. People reporting L on Project Fi. M seems just another update that supposed to come later
[Nexus 6P General] C4PO:
I can confirm this. Just activated Fi today and got an update to MDB08L.
[Nexus 6P General] kolyan:
Where did you get this info? I thought Fi didn't even support VoLTE at launch. T-Mobile CEO commented that Fi doesnt have VoLTE too, that was around launch time as well
[Nexus 6P General] kolyan:
^ Could you reply please, I am really interested
[Nexus 6P General] Charkatak:
I got L update last week and I am on T-Mobile(never used Project Fi sim), so we will all get these updates, they are just seem to be staged. I am looking forward to M update, which should come this week(assumption)
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
Or you can just download the factory images and flash bootloader, radio, vendor, system by hand.
[Nexus 6P General] Toleraen:
Thanks papi for putting the guide together! I went from no signal at my desk with my N5 to lots of signal with my 6P on band 12. Bandwidth is pretty sketchy on it (~1.6Mbps down/.15Mbps up), but it's enough so that MMS actually download instead of constantly failing.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Anytime. Band 12 is not as fast as 4.
[Nexus 6P General] nitewolfgtr:
Can someone please confirm whether B4-B12 or B2-B12 Carrier Aggregation (CA) is working? Thank you.
[Nexus 6P General] kolyan:
If this info is not false, could you please reply on where you got this from? I asked twice but you seem to be ignoring me for some reason
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
It's simple analysis. Band 12 is DATA only. It can't be used for calls and there for could not handle moving from Sprint to T-Mobile or T-Mobile to Sprint
[Nexus 6P General] kolyan:
Fi does have b12 active on Android L and switching works fine. And how do you know that 1st batch of Fi SIM cards was different?

I am not sure I follow
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Fi does not have it on M tho (most builds meant for Fi) and its simple because Fi does not support volte. I don't get why you can't wrap your head around that.
[Nexus 6P General] kolyan:
I know Fi doesnt have it on M and I know Fi doesnt support VoLTE. But it has nothing to do with any switching and it has nothing to do with any SIM cards
[Nexus 6P General] BRYCEFISHER:
Mine supports band 12 out of the box.
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
Because you are on build D out of the box. If you upgrade to newer builds Google disabled band 12 in the radio.
[Nexus 6P General] BRYCEFISHER:
I'm on MDB08L, This is the build you are referring too?
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
I was referring to the one that ends in D, MDA89D. Interesting that you are seeing it on L, maybe band 12 is back?
[Nexus 6P General] BRYCEFISHER:
I'm not sure, also i'm seeing the "enhanched 4g lte mode" toggle. I heard some talk about volte being disabled. Is there just a toggle but it doesnt work?

[Nexus 6P General] a1exus:
make a call and try to browse or open youtube app etc..

and/or go to verizon account settings and see if feature is enabled on your account
[Nexus 6P General] Avera6:
I also was on band 12 in South Florida last night on stock L radio
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Screenshot please of modem. I know L does not have band 12.
[Nexus 6P General] Avera6:
I was getting band 12 when I was on the D stock radio and when my phone updated to L I thought I lost band 12 but I kept checking and last night at a McDonald drive thru I checked again and there it was,so I took a screen shot. This is what my phone is on
[Nexus 6P General] FuMMoD:
I only got on band 12 briefly and it wasn't as fast.
[Nexus 6P General] Ramone360:
I was close to a band 12
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
Anyone using stock radio from builds L or M and getting band 12?
[Nexus 6P General] PieOfJustice:
I can't even get any apps to display the band i'm on. They all say unknown.

[Nexus 6P General] captainwahid:
yup, its band 12 certified. now time to wait for the update
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Not certified.
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
I'm using stock M. Drive right by a band 12 tower multiple times a day - and when I say right by, I mean about 15 yards away. Finally checked today, strong signal on band 4, no love with 12. I suppose I could stand under the tower for awhile and see if it appears, but I think I'll just keep checking from time to time as I drive past.
[Nexus 6P General] Ofthecats:
Would we have to wait for Google to release a new radio for it to jive with band 12, or would be work with just carrier side adjustments? If you happen to know
[Nexus 6P General] painfree:
I definitely was not getting band 12 from L or M so I used the method posted on this forum to flash back to the D radio and I am golden.. I also have seen from my Ookla speed tests that the D radio is by far better for my WiFi as well. With it I am faster than my gaming rig on my WiFi cable connection. This is the radio that I used..radio-angler-angler-01.29.img
[Nexus 6P General] Ofthecats:
Have you experienced NY stability or volte issues yet?
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
The radio image is for the cell radio only, not for WiFi.
[Nexus 6P General] painfree:
Yes you are correct YET the D is working significantly better for LTE and having it there has been a noticeable possibly synergistic effect on WiFi speeds compared to what I was getting on L or M currently I am on L but my WiFi speeds are consistently 17-20% better when I have the D radio. Who knows maybe my new router config??
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
You aren't going to connect to band 12 if you are right next to a tower if it also has band 4. Band 4 is preferred as it's higher bandwidth than band 12, which is only used when on the fringe of the cell or in buildings.
[Nexus 6P General] zgroten:
I did this but my build number ends in K,. Not L or M. Did I do something wrong?
[Nexus 6P General] zephiK:
Flashing a radio doesn't change the build number.
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
Check the radio version either in the bootloader or the baseband version in "about phone". See the first post of this thread for the screenshot of the baseband version.
[Nexus 6P General] pr0cl1v1ty:

Haha, People think I am crazy, I like going in basements and elevators now to see if my phone gets band 12 in those locations. Most of the time I do :)
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Yeah i rather get band 4. But band 12 is better then nothing
[Nexus 6P General] walkerkd:
get error trying to flash radio with Mac ./fastboot-mac flash radio radio_old.img not sure whats going on! i was able to do everything else!

What's the error say. Can you pastebin it
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
band 12 is live in the 6.0.1. Have fun guys!
[Nexus 6P General] iGoogleNexus:
Thank youuuu!
[Nexus 6P General] clubtech:
I searched online and haven't seen any confirmation of this. How do you know it is enabled in this update?
[Nexus 6P General] mpkothari:
For all we know you could be using the workaround of using the old radio to get band 12. Not calling you a liar but I'm going to remain a skeptic until I try it for myself tonight. I hope this build does finally bring B12 to us. Which area are you in?
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Youngstown Ohio is my area.
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Better?

[Nexus 6P General] thafngame24:
Yeah its on there but it still has the astericks saying they are working with Google on the 6p,5x,6 for band 12 support
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
It's activated lol jeezum
[Nexus 6P General] erk1725:
I'm going to keep an eye on this thread! I'm AT&T and there band is supposed to be 17 and I always seem to only get band 2?

Thanks for all your hard work guys and gals! I appreciate it!
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
ATT uses band 2 in areas they don't own enough/any band 17 coverage. Band 2 is not band 12. T-Mobile uses band 2,4, and 12. ATT uses band 2,17, and 40??? (New addition) in their lte network.
[Nexus 6P General] nomisr:
With the band 12 radio flash, does the OTA still come in?
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
No it does not.
[Nexus 6P General] nomisr:
So how do i get back the ability to have OTA again?
[Nexus 6P General] papi92:
Just flash the new fastboot package
[Nexus 6P General] iGoogleNexus:
Flash the correct radio for your current build.

Are there any themes or other way to make Chrome browser background a dark color? Even just a little bit. I've perused this, and other, forums looking for a way to make the main "results" page of Chrome toned down. I use dark themes because they are easy on the eyes, and would like the same thing in Chrome.*

I have a rooted device with a custom ROM and would even be willing to change ROMs to make this happen.*
