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

So from what I understand, band 12 is 700MHz A-Block and is owned by T-Mobile. According to this site (http://www.tmonews.com/700mhz-lte-map/) there hasn't been b12 deployment here in Columbus just yet, and it looks like there's a spectrum issue just to the west of us as well.

 

I did enable it just for giggles and there was indeed no signal to be found.

Tmo owns some B12 around the country.  USCC and many other regionals also own Band 12 spectrum.  Band 12 is important for Sprint customers for compatibility with RRPP members and future LTE roaming.  It is not important for just T-Mobile.

Others have reported to me that when on T-mobile, the Sprint bands appear, also unusable.  My thoughts are this is for the rumored Google MVNO as well.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm certainly not an expert. It'll be interesting to see when exactly Google plans on opening up Nova now that the N6 is ready to go.

Ambient display broken? Now when i pick up my device the screen will NOT turn on. the setting is turned on...

After side loading I had the same issue. Untoggling and retoggling seemed to fix it.

Ok So long saga of trying to update my Nexus 6.... Heres the details...

 

Just a heads up to anyone with a nexus 6 trying to do manual update
 
WHATEVER you do - DO NOT lock your bootloader without having a fully bootable OS working
 
because you cant unlock without going into the developer options in the OS and enabling OEM unlock capability
 
fastboot will just kick back an error if you try to unlock without turning this option on - even if there isnt any OS installed
 
I almost bricked my Nexus 6 by locking it thinking I could unlock and it would auto wipe and fix the error I was getting... no such luck. Finally thought to use TWRP that was still setup as my recovery to sideload a third party rom (i couldnt get it to sideload stock) and then I could reenable oem unlock in dev options and then reflash everything from fastboot after unlocking
 
I kept getting a optimizing apps boot loop when I first tried manual update but I think I fixed it by issuing fastboot boot boot.img (using the boot.img from the factory image for 5.1)
 
just some info for anyone who might run into this problem

I REPEAT DO NOT LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER WITHOUT HAVING A FULLY BOOTABLE ROM INSTALLED THAT INCLUDES THE ABILITY TO MAKE SURE THE "ENABLE OEM UNLOCK" OPTION IN THE DEVELOPER OPTIONS CAN BE TURNED ON. YOU WILL BE THE SADDEST OF PANDAS IF YOU DO WITHOUT HAVING THIS ABILITY. YOU WILL BASICALLY HALF BRICK YOUR DEVICE. THIS GOES FOR ANY DEVICE WITH LOLLIPOP.

I know its in another language but I am pretty dang excited about the performance improvement im reading about to do with the update from 5.0.1 to 5.1.  Wonder how battery life is in comparison.  Mine was great when I first turned on the phone back in November and has gotten worse over time.  But I contribute that to the apps ive installed more than anything.

Looks like a new build of 5.1 has appeared:

 

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/03/13/new-android-5-1-build-lmy47e-surfaces-for-nexus-6-probably-wont-go-out-to-existing-devices/

 

According to the article it is probably only going to be present on devices shipped by Verizon, but apparently also includes a new radio. Anyone brave enough to give it a shot?

There is no such option under developer options on my nexus 5 on 5.1.

I believe you have to do the fastboot oem unlock *twice* and you can unlock the bootloader without having a bootable os.

 

 

Anybody know how to fix this "couldn't load widget" message at the top of the open apps switcher thing?

 

yes, boot into safe mode 

 

Reboot into safe mode (press power button, long press on "Power off")

you have to tap the build# in the settings > about to enable the developer options.

 

This has been the case for a couple years now, i think since android 4.0..

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.

      One more SCP beta rolling out.. includes more bugfixes and minor improvements. Pending any major issues with this version, it will be released to the public within a few days. Thanks for all the help and feedback!

      Passed by the former Sprint site at 1184 60th St in Brooklyn last week and noticed T-Mobile took down all of the Sprint equipment but it looked like they installed some new cabinets so conversion is likely in progress.
