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.

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

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:

yep your late.

 

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:

 

Mav. :ninja:

 

Sent from my Sprint Nexus 6.

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!

      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.
