To answer your follow up. It worked so I didn't need to toggle airplane mode, but I had 10% signal loss. Too much for me, I would miss some phone calls
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
I don't remember are you on Verizon? I'm on Verizon boot loader unlocked and rooted I went back to 6.0. That's weird you don't have to toggle but sounds like your actually losing signal anyway. Even on 6.0 my phone still needs a kick in the butt sometimes. Hopefully Google will fix but I'm not counting on it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:

im going to give this a shot. i flashed back to the 2.15 radio earlier today and it was fine but i will flash the 2.50 radio now and see what happenes
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
If your not having problems on 2.15 why switch there is no set radio its what works best for you. I'm on Verizon and nothing worked tried all four so U went back to 6.0.

It's very frustrating to see how long this issue has persisted. I found this thread today and saw the start date in early December and 27 pages worth of replies, figured we'd be at least 10% closer to resolution by the 15th page. But yet here we are (patiently?) waiting for google to get it together.

Still not fixed on MMB29Q. I still have to toggle airplane mode to get LTE on a reboot. I'm on Verizon.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
Damn Google already put up the Feb images and it isn't fixed.

I knew it there not gonna fix it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
It's not gonna get fixed in a security update. We'll have to wait for 6.0.2
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
Ya your right I just keep hoping they might throw it in. Wonder how long 6.0.2 is gonna be? Still kinda sucks though its not like its a minor problem but I guess to google it is and to be honest they just don't care what are you gonna do go somewhere else lol.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
Seems this issue is different for many people. I 'seem' to have fixed it. At least I've re-booted 3 times and get LTE right away. I'll know more as I move around with only a data connection. Anyway, I flashed the factory images for the Feb security update over fastboot, then re-flashed TWRP and SU 2.67. Otherwise completely stock, aside from tweaking the interactive governor settings of the stock kernel. When I first booted up on the new build, I was still getting H and H+ as I have throughout with 6.0.1. LTE is intermittent at best.

However, I pulled the 2.47 angler radio from the last 6.0.0 (MMB29N) build and flashed it. So far, I'm seeing nothing but LTE at work and that's what I was typically seeing prior to 6.0.1. If it makes any difference to you, I'm in Canada on Rogers.

I'll post an update if I see worse behaviour later, but so far, fingers crossed. I don't need band 12 for ATT, so going back to an older radio is fine for me.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
Yeah please do I reverted back to 6.0 I'm not running stock but if that works for you I'll give it a try if it works stock should work custom to Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
I didn't go fully back to 6.0.0, just the radio from the last (N) build on top of the current stock build with custom recovery. Anyway, if you don't see any more posts from me, it's all good.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
Thanks I know what ya did guys have done it before but no luck maybe you'll be lucky charm. Hope I font hear from you lol.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsuttie99:
Hahaha.... Nice. Unreal that we should need to do something like this in the first place.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xplicit84:
I don't have the phone yet, but this is something I was curious about after reading up on the issues. Since all other Nexus phones are never dependent on having the radio that the update came with, I always wondered why people didn't just flash the older radio. Glad to hear that this has solved the issue, especially if I run into it when I get the phone. Now just to wait on Amazon to give me details on the shipping date since it's out of stock .
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
Don't get your hopes up no one has fixed the issue yet it is a Google problem if he did fix it it isn't permanent it will happen again. Radios don't fix it any way. My self and several others have tried all 4 radios to no avail. My only fix was to go back to 6.0. There may be a fix when 6.0.2 or whatever drops. Like someone else said it's not gonna get fixed with a security update.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
Yup, still working (for me anyway). Interesting test though, as I like a few small customizations that come with Chroma. However, I suspect flashing the old radio is better on stock Google as opposed to stock AOSP. Flashing the old radio over Chroma didn't fix LTE. Gladly I did a nandroid first and have my LTE back.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsuttie99:
Has Chroma been stable for you? I have been thinking about flashing it. I am still 100% stock, mostly because i haven't had the time/patience to backup my data and unlock the bootloader. Think I will finally get around to it this weekend.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowsnestitsupport:
Been running Chroma for a long long time and currently have it on my N6, N6P and 5X. Completely stable with no issues. Just benefits!!! Extremely smooth and fast, no bloat or unnecessary extras and AMAZING battery life. I use Franco Kernel on all 3 which also contributes to battery life.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsuttie99:
Sounds awesome :) Can you quantify the battery life gains at all for your 6p?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowsnestitsupport:
Lol.. I hate when people go around bragging about SOT because it varies so much depending on use. On both my N6p and N6 right now with the latest Chroma and latest Franco, with normal use I can get 6-6.5 hours SOT in a 20 hour time frame. I would say I use my phone moderately. But that is def better than I get stock. Or on any other rom/kernel other than Pure Nexus./Franco. The 2 are neck and neck for me. But again.... there are so many variables and each phone/user is different. Attached is from one day last week.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
I preferred Cataclysm, as it flashed directly over stock as a mod. Chroma has the same kinds of customizations but uses an AOSP base. I found it was generally stable prior to the Feb security update, but flashing the latest update was a bit wonky and kept the LTE bug even with the older radio. I've gone back to stock. I've had an unlocked bootloader since right after I got it. If you're using fastboot to update things anyway, all you really need to back up is your data with Titanium as Google will restore the apps.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

I don't think the Chroma Feb (Q) update is very stable. Prior to that it was. Oddest thing that happened to me, is (and I even saw it say it was flashing SU in TWRP) that when I started it up, it was unrooted. Very odd. Flashing SU 2.67 fixed it, but still odd behaviour. On rooted stock with the 2.47 radio and loving it. I use the stock kernel but add some interactive governor tweaks and have great battery.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowsnestitsupport:
Weird.. Because the Feb update was really very little more than the updated security patches. Like I said, I'm running on 3 different devices and have 0 issues.. I don't remember the last time I've had an issue with Chroma. As to the LTE thing, its well documented to be a Google issue. For me personally, ( I use all 4 carriers) I have the newest radio and have never had any LTE issues except with AT&T. Use VZW and FI all the time and no issues at all. LTE works 100% of the time.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
Yes it is a Google issue and unless your in a strong signal area your gonna have it whether you know it or not. Even if you are its not as fast as it should be it is the nature of the beast. It just depends on what your willing to put up with.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerflash:
Well everyone here is having different results because they are in different areas with varying lte strength and bands. It has to be something to do with locking on and holding on to lte. Like the developer setting for aggressive wifi to cellular hand over... It like it's not seeing that there is enough lte signal sometimes to connect or stay connected.

I find it happens more after I have a few call and switches to hspa to take the call on AT&T... Seems to not switch back to lte sometime after.

The nexus 5x does not have this issue at all so it has to be something they need to tweak. It will be done soon I'm sure. 6.0.2
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
Hard to hit the nail on the head I'm in a poor signal area and even on 6.0 it doesn't always grab 4G I have to toggle airplane so whatever they did on 6.0.1 made it a lot worse. I am on Verizon that's why I still think it has a lot to do with signal strength. When I get to a really good signal area its the best phone I ever had. Soon as I get in poor signal it won't switch back to 4G and I'm on 6.0. Here is hoping 6.0.2 will fix it
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tj_f:
Stock 6P on AT&T, this worked perfectly. Never drop LTE now, thank you!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
I actually downloaded the original stock Android pkgs and pulled the 2.47 radio from the last 6.0.0 build, as the first 6.0.1 build contained the 2.50 radio. No matter which custom ROM I play with I always flash the 2.47 radio now and my LTE is working great. Would sure be nice if Google addressed the LTE bug in 6.0.2 or 6.1 (whatever point release is next) as it seems they aren't going to do it with the monthly security updates.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krolla03:
I read somewhere on Flipboard that ticking the "data roaming" box in cellular network menu fixed the problem. I did that and so far 2 reboots and it connects to LTE right away
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
There is no fix for the problem it depends on where you are if your in a strong signal area its not gonna happen as much. The problem happens when you drop to a lesser signal for me it was 3G I'm on Verizon you guys on GSM network call it something different. The phone won't grab the stronger signal it stays stuck on weaker signal. If it never drops then no your not gonna have a problem but soon as it does it will happen. For some reason if you blow everything off and start from scratch it will work for a bit but after awhile back to same old stuff. I went back to 6.0 and the phone works great but I'm stuck on 6.0 till they fix not the end of the world just not why I bought the phone. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
That's great so long as you don't live close to somewhere you can easily 'roam' out of your carrier's coverage area. We live right by the US border in Canada and, if I suddenly lapsed into a US carrier's coverage area, even a short amount of time could cost me a fair bit of money. It's bad practice to allow your phone to roam automatically and not a good fix for an OS bug like this. Up to you, of course, but I'd be careful doing this depending where you live. If there's no chance you'll leave your coverage area, then I guess it's not a huge risk.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etec 872:
I dialed *#*#4636#*#* hit the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner. Hit Select radio band. Selected band mode 7. LTE worked right away. Later I switched to USA mode and kept working. I haven't seen LTE in days and have tried almost everything. Verizon. Systemless Root. Pure nexus.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gts24:
I'm still in my return window for this phone. After rolling back to 6.0.1 build MMB29M , the crappy switching on/off LTE seems to be rectified, but the overall signal strength vs my old Galaxy s4 is horrible (and indeed vs my partner's iphone 5) All of this is on Verizon. :confused:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
Tough call I also went back to 6.0 signal problem kind of solved. I'm in a poor signal area ( on Verizon). Even on 6.0 you some times have to give it a kick in the butt but nothing like 6.0.1. The main thing is that it does switch on 6.0. I also have a Nexus 6 which is golden signal wise. So in my opinion not as good as the Nexus 6 but as long as you stay on 6.0 close second. Did you try different radios ( modems) that may help you.

Were you on stock and took the OTA? Or unlocked bootloader with custom rom?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowsnestitsupport:
So update from my 6p. Have/use all carriers and lots and lots of custom ROMs. LTE issue plagued both AT&T and VZW bad.. Didn't notice so much on the rest. I downloaded the Android "N" image and used fastboot and flashed just the "n" bootloader and radio. Have used several ROMs since and have zero LTE issues.. Locks on LTE instantly after every reboot!!! Thrilled to finally have that issue gone away... Currently using latest Benzo ROM for those wondering.. Didn't try it on stock.

second update. It appears my initial booting with HSPA was a fluke, as I've now been jumping on LTE very consistently.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooddale:
so you just flashed boot loader and vendor + did a clean install?
