It has been kind of quiet on the text message front, are people still experiencing it? I haven't seen a fix yet, just wondering. I am still having the problem.

I have MMS issues often

It holds LTE like a beast so far, drove from the Bronx to midtown and back, have no idea what the 3G logo looks like. Have yet to drop to 3G even in an elevator.   B26 performance in particular seem

I'm experiencing the MMS problem very often. Hopefully there's a fix soon.

I am experiencing that issue as well.  I have to admit, the text issue bothers me more, simply because I never know if I should trust that it sent or not.  Oh well, just wish there was more information from Sprint about it.  I spoke to tech support last week and that acted like it wasn't an issue...  Otherwise, the N6 is a monster.  Switched to the Franco Kernel last week and just logged 6hours 18 minute of voice time with almost 2 hours of SOT and still had 20% left!

Do you have the problem only when using or near to Clear sites? (Does it work at home, but not at work?)

Just got off the phone with one of the ticket support reps and he confirmed that sprint is aware of the texting issues for the nexus 6 in Samsung markets and that "a firmware update for the phone" is in the works that will address the problem

Yes! So they finally acknowledge that it's an issue in Samsung markets.

 

I noticed that while out (not on wifi) last night, with a strong Sprint b41 signal, texting was much more reliable (I didn't have any get hung up, but I only sent maybe 5 total, so not a good sample size).

 

B26 though always still causes issues. B25 is hit and miss. And if you're on wifi, forget about it, it's going to hang regardless.

 

It's ironic, because I had very similar issues with texts on my single band Galaxy S4 while connected to 1x800 right after it was rolled out in the SF area (1x1900 worked fine on the same tower). I eventually modified my PRL to basically ignore 1x800 in the SF area until they got the problem fixed.

I don't sit on a clear site at work or home. It is affected in both locations. 3g works perfectly with no issue,however, that is not a fix. Glad to hear that they at least are acknowledging the issue now. I'll call tomorrow.

Sadly, I must say that the nexus 6 is a half a$$ed phone. No real diagnostics abilities like engineering screens to aid sprint in solving problems, issues with phone calls not coming through - even registering as a missed call in google voice, and a plethora of texting issues in a large part of the sprint network (Samsung markets). I love sprint and the nexus line and it saddens me to be so frustrated.

funny thing is it works flawless on the gsm networks. It doesn't get as good of battery life on Sprint as it does on At&t and T-Mobile. I get a average of 1 hour more battery life on GSM. Hopefully 5.1 fixes everything and breaks nothing but that's why a nexus is a nexus its a beta phone.

Hate to be like this but technically it's the WCDMA side where it has better battery life. :)

Just to confirm, everyone has working NFC correct? I'm now on my second Nexus 6 trying to fix this. NFC disappears from the settings within 24 hours after a factory reset. It's as though the NFC chip simply isn't present anymore. The only way to get it back is to factory reset (safe mode doesn't work).

 

It seems to be tied to hands free activation, so I'm wondering if I just have a faulty SIM or something... I spoke with Google support and they're perplexed. I'm going to get a new SIM from Sprint now, factory reset for the 6th time, and hope it works...

      You could also just sign up for Project Genesis directly, $400 for the moto edge+ 2023 and $25/month for service.

      Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
