Being able to change LTE band priority is amazing. I bumped b26 up over b25 and now I have an even easier time staying on b26 when indoors. I'd recommend this if you're in an area with good 800MHz coverage and spend a good amount of time indoors.

Ultimately the network will decide, but when your phone needs to scan (or is nudged with a reset) you are better off in these situations. I often do this with B41, since the network frequently seems reluctant.

Oh, gotcha. The engineering screens also allow you to change the scan interval but I haven't felt the need to mess with that. Handoffs go pretty smoothly as is.

That was exactly what I wanted to know, do you have a link to the stock rooted rom?

For some reason XDA is down. The ROM will be in the nexus 6 forums under nexus 6 android development. Its the stock ROM that's put together by scscoler.

This is probably the one you're referring to:

lordsutch is "late"?  Whoa.

 

That is what we metaphorically call a pregnant pause.

So the results are in from my testing out android 5.1 on the nexus 6.  I have found that battery life is a little bit better.  i got about 10 hours and 5 minutes before it shut itself down.  normally i was getting about 9 to 9.5 hours depending on what i was doing.  I used my phone off and on today for various tasks.  The screen was halfway dimmed.  Hows everyone elses battery life?

Hey guys so silly question but anyone else experience the phone not reading their simcard after manually updating the phone?  It was working and then the phone died and when i restarted it it says No Sim Card - Emergency calls only.  I have tried removing and reinserting the sim card but no luck..

Good point.

Guess I should have posted my prior test from the exact same spot on 03/12, before I updated to 5.1:

It could also be the network wasn't as utilized, or there happened to be less interference or many other things. The best way to tell is look at the signal you're receiving. 5.1 had some changes to the signal bars as well, it shows more bars for the same signal. Anything better than -100 rsrp on LTE is showing full signal on my nexus 5.

This happened to me :[ I had google maps open on the dash of my car... then next thing you know it shut off, and took a long time to start up, and gave me the same error. I had to wipe, and reflash. It's fine now.

odd they kept it at 5.1.0  :blink:

Sounds like it is the N6 Verizon variant.  Some slight changes, but nothing that non Verizon users should use.

 

Also, how has noone not stated how awesome this update was in reference to sms / mms.  I know people said it was fixed, but boy that is an understatement.  I was waiting to update due to xposed, but I couldn't stand it.  I cannot believe how quickly this phone sends messages now.  I know this is standard now w/ LTE, but it is fantastic!

    • Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.
    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
