    The 6p does, if you want to stick to the Nexus line. The screen is a tad bit smaller (same resolution though), but I've found it makes one handed use a little easier. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Really? There's no new carrier card or anything? So basically the only thing holding back non-Clearwire B41 sites from having a second carrier is insufficient backhaul? Sent from my Nexus 6P

    For me they're very delayed. A new voicemail won't appear for several hours to a day after the fact. Sometimes even after marking it as read in Google voice and hangouts it still shows up hours later and I have to mark it read there as well. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    It looks like it also shows which carrier you'll roam on. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Actually, it seems to be phone specific. My Nexus 6P gets an IPv6 address, but my partner's Galaxy S5 does not. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Yeah I have a long layover in Dubai in a few months. Would be nice to be able to use my phone while there. I'm guessing that the roaming partners are Softbank's preferred partners? For example, I looked up South Africa, and it looks like Softbank will roam on all their carriers but they charge different rates. Vodacom is the cheapest rate, and seems to be the only one that has what I'm guessing are data packages for purchase ("packet flat rate"). http://mb.softbank.jp/en/global_services/global_roaming/area_id.html?country=6&id=20131004000000440 So I assume this is who Sprint would roam on there?

    They almost certainly do their own internal testing during the design of the phone. I work be shocked if they didn't. But their lab likely isn't certified by the FCC and other agencies, so it's easier to use the FCC report for official numbers. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Anyone else notice that the 6P never displays a SNR below 20? I thought it was just broken and always showed 20, but I've occasionally seen higher value. I wonder if that's partially why it shows a much higher signal strength (both the status bar bars and the color in the battery history stats) versus the 6 in the same location, even though the rsrp isn't much different.

    I don't see why Nexus devices wouldn't support it. I'm assuming it's handled completely in the SIM/baseband. It's not like Nexus devices use different SIM cards from other Sprint phones. And the chipsets are the same used in other flagship devices. It seems they would have to intentionally not add or blacklist the devices. I can't see a logical reason for doing that.

    I believe the iPhone can't run their testing software, I think it's too locked down. I guess they could with jailbroken iPhones though. The Nexus 6P is probably a better phone to standardize on since it supports all bands and CA on all carriers, plus they can use their current testing software. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Interesting, there's no roaming indicator. I thought USCC counted against your roaming bucket? Sent from my Nexus 6P

    I believe the 6p does 2x CA successfully at least. I was able to pull a speed test of 75 mbit on B41, which should be faster than a single carrier can do. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    It does fix a few bugs actually. Plus the December security patches. I haven't had any issues with 6.0.1 yet other than it doesn't hang onto B41 as strongly and drops to B25/26 quicker. But that's why the first thing I do with a Nexus is unlock the bootloader. If an update causes issues I'll simply download the previous factory image and flash it. Takes 5 minutes and data is left intact if you don't use the included script to flash it. I personally love the monthly updates. It lets us avoid the situation when the Nexus 6 launched and SMS was broken in LTE for 5 months until the first update came out (along with certain GSM/WCDMA networks causing the phone to lock up and require a reboot when handing off between sites).

    The radio is different. The versions in the factory images have different file names (2.15 vs 2.50) and different SHA1 sum checks. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    I actually asked Bose about it and they said they design them for Apple. I guess Apple has their own way to handle volume control. I'm not sure if stock Android has a method to do it. Samsung I know supports it with their earbuds, but I don't know if it's a different standard than what Apple uses. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    I did a lot of research before buying them. I know Bose is expensive for the audio quality and would never buy them as regular headphones or speakers. I got them solely for active noise cancellation for flights, since in that aspect they were/are the best on the market. I have a pair of audio technica ath-m50 I use most of the time.

    I have the Bose QC25 headphones and the volume control does not work with the 6p. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    I'd also like to note that calls are SUBSTANTIALLY more clear on the 6P than on my previous 2 phones (Nexus 6 and Galaxy S4). Previously, calls to call centers or automated services were awful and continuously cut out. It was particularly noticeable with hold music. A T-Mobile phone had the exact same issue, so I had assumed it was a voice codec thing where it's overly compressed. These calls are crystal clear now on the 6p. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    It does not. No Nexus phones do. Sprint uses a proprietary implementation of wifi calling that is not compatible with the version built into stock Android. I doubt an app could be released to enable it since it would require heavy tie in with the OS, so the only way we'd get it is if/when Sprint upgrades their implementation. This will probably happen around the time VoLTE rolls out. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Interesting, it disappears if I pick a device. I guess it's still in the process of being rolled out on the coverage map. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Did they show the same GCI? Both apps determine the band based on GCI (to my knowledge anyway), so it could be one of them has an incorrect mapping. As a side note, I've found that the Nexus 6p works much better with SCP than the Nexus 6 post Marshmallow. It's actually usable again for logging, though the 1x + LTE "bug" still occurs, but much less frequently and eventually corrects itself (or airplane mode fixes it immediately). Sent from my Nexus 6P

    If it's stock Android, its under Settings, More (under wireless & networks), cellular networks, carrier settings, update PRL. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    In my experience that's about where it drops off and goes to 3G. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    The 6p supports it. Sent from my Nexus 6P
