Google Nexus 6 by Motorola Users Thread

How in the world would an engineering screen indicate if "carrier aggregation was around"? Are you using the Nexus 6 on Sprint? It does not support band 41 carrier aggregation.

Also there is a way to see if you have carrier aggregation I have seen it before on the internet

Not relevant.  Not on the Nexus 6.  Remember which thread this is.

the CA bands in the specs section add up to Verizon and At&t bands. I have no indication if it is able to do this but there is no proof that it can't either.

 

VZW does not do carrier aggregation -- its band 13 infrastructure is too old. And I have seen no indication that the Nexus 6 supports carrier aggregation at all, not even for AT&T.

That is true.  I had forgotten that the Google Play specs do make mention of LTE FDD carrier aggregation capabilities.  The FCC OET filing, however, does not.

 

And, despite your pipe dream to the contrary, VZW is not currently doing carrier aggregation.  Its infrastructure does not support it.

 

Now, fix your quote.  Do NOT put your text in my quote box.

I figured Verizon wouldn't work my hope is solely for At&t.

Does anybody know how to remove the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen when I'm using Swype?  I keep hitting it with my thumb accidentally.

It looks like the Nexus 6 actually does technically support carrier aggregation for Verizon and AT&T bands.

This doesn't necessarily mean you'll actually get carrier aggregation on Verizon (in part, for the reasons already mentioned) but technically, the Nexus 6 supports carrier aggregation on Verizon and AT&T.

After about 14 hours of light to normal use. I couldn't even make it 12 on my nexus 5 with similar usage.

I finally got charged again on my credit card. It might be on its way.

Is anyone having issues with ambient display? Mine worked for a bit and now it's not working at all.

It needs work but double tap to wake works great if you root

At least your screen didn't die the first day making it a very expensive paper weight. Lol. But luckily this one I have now works great!

 

The front speakers are soooooo awesome sounding!

[woodensoul2k]

I found my issue, it was the screen protector (tempered glass) covering the sensor. Apparently you need the right cut outs for the Nexus 6.

SIAP, but is WiFI calling isn't presently baked into the N6, but will be in the future right? (believe TMO has said its coming in 2015). 

 

In theory,  wouldn't it logically follow that it could also be coming to the N5 around the same time? 

 

TIA.

So if I purchaed my n6 with a 2 year contract already say on the 19th does that mean I can call up sprint about this and I will get it since its within the 14 days?

[darickster09]

Anyone have any luck getting to the engineering screens or field test mode yet?

[pmikec]

Still nothing, even with the apk in the system folder.

Yeah thats a bummer.  Well i guess lets give it some time and see if anyone figures it out!  perhaps we should all fund a call to action on this.  Put out a bounty and see if anyone can access it.

[doakills]

Yeah I been playing with it for a few days now trying to force start it, playing with permissions. No good. So there must be new commands or an additional program that sprint has that needs to be loaded (apk) to use there DMsprint app thats in the system folder. A big concern, looking at this sprint DM service, not saying its not on n5 or other devices, its looking and controlling insane permissions..

No Engineering Screens = Me never getting Nexus 6

My friend and I are having the same issue. On LTE these phones sends duplicate text messages. Even to other people not with nexus 6. On 3g its fine.
