Google Nexus 6 by Motorola Users Thread

Yes I am.

 

If or when band 12 roaming goes live, my guess is that a profile update will be required to enable band 12 -- but not brick the handset.  We know from plenty of experience that a profile update can alter band settings/priority.

Oh, OK. Yeah, I have access to that. But with an AT&T SIM card in, it still shows only B12/B25/B26/B41. I was hoping to be able to turn off AT&T Band 17. AT&T will force me to stay on B17 at work, even though B4 is 10x10 instead of 5x5 and runs 30-40Mbps versus 500kbps. And the B4 has a more than adequate 100-105dBm RSRP. But AT&T insists I stay on B17 and deal with sub 1Mbps speeds.

 

If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would believe it is because I tether my laptop and I have a 30GB plan. A coworker of mine has a Moto X 2014 and can use B4 all day in my office. But with my Nexus 5, Nexus 6 and Moto X 2014, I get parked on B17. And when it will park on B4, I will get shunted down to the lower performing B17 as soon as I start doing anything meaningful.

 

It's very annoying and I'd love to be able to turn off B17 while I am at the office.

It doesn't have the ability to alter At&t or Verizon bands.

I wonder what the odds are this will also include Sprint wifi calling? http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/05/22/nexus-6-android-5-1-1-update-with-t-mobile-wi-fi-calling-should-hopefully-roll-out-this-weekend/

Thought the very same thing... I don't really need it, but it would help at a couple of the hospitals I frequent with Verizon DAS and poor Sprint service in the basement.

Has anyone else seen the Nexus 6 lose LTE and instead of dropping to 800, it goes to 3G?

Probably zero. T-Mobile uses an entirely different and newer type of WiFi calling.

What is this word "lose"?  How is that even pronounced?  Like "LOZE"?  I think you mean "loose" -- because that is apparently pronounced "LOOZE."

Okay, I think I understand.  For example, my name is Asswipe Johnson.  But my first name constantly gets mispronounced.  It is "AHS-WEE-PAY."  It boggles my mind why people cannot see that.

I thank you for that endorsement -- or not.

So.... Is that a no?

N6 radio performance has been excellent, including switching between bands. 

 

I have heard of it dropping all connectivity for a few moments. But I have yet to experience that.

[mhammett]

I've had a couple situations where I should have been within 2500 range, that my phone had dropped to 3G. I don't know if it's just an area issue or something larger. I've only been using this new phone since Friday.

[S4GRU]

I get bunted down to Faux G on AT&T too. Half the time it will not go back to LTE unless I cycle airplane mode. I did not have that issue with my Moto X 2014. Just the Nexus 6. And that is regardless of streaming.

 

The RF characteristics of this phone are better than any device I've ever had. Even slightly besting my Nexus 5 and the Moto X 2014.

I hardly ever see 3G, but when it does drop, it jumps back on LTE at a moments notice. Its probably the best radio out of any android phone.

 

It could be related to your area.

Sweet, but I'll wait before upgrading. I'm sure google is going to screw the initial release up and send out 5 more updates to fix it.

 

Edit- factory image on google sites says T-Mobile only for some reason.

5.1.1 (For T-Mobile Only) (LYZ28E)

 

I'm sure it will work on other carriers.

It's just general bug fixes, but it does add baked-in wifi calling for T-Mobile. I wonder if it does the same for sprint? Or, did sprint already have it.

We do not have wifi calling.  Doesn't sound like it will be added for Sprint either, .

Let us know if it includes Wi-Fi calling.
