    Just had it happen on my Nexus 6, I think. It's hard to tell, since EVDO doesn't show the carrier. But 1x was Verizon at -90 and EVDO was -102. Is there a way to verify who the EVDO carrier is? Sent from my Nexus 6

    Oooo you're right! I somehow missed that. Thanks! Sent from my Nexus 6

    When showing neighbor cells, is it possible to check the PCI against Sprint and Clear PLMNs and pick the closest one? Or maybe make that an option? Sent from my Nexus 6

    Does SCP only export logs for the current carrier? I ask because I've verified that I have non-domestic HSPA/UMTS entries in the database file from when I was traveling with a foreign SIM, but no GSM log file gets generated when I export them. Is this a bug or is it by design? Sent from my Nexus 6

    It would happen on 5.0 sometimes (and was likely related to the SMS issue on WiFi). For me and most people, 5.1 fixed it. I agree a fresh install might help. Also make sure the radio is up to date, or maybe even try the radio from M Developer Preview. I'm curious what what the LTE signal is when this happens. Is it possible it's happening just because of a weak signal? Or a site related issue? Sent from my Nexus 6

    I bet the battery drain is partially because of the slow speed. The radio has to be active longer, draining the battery. I used to experience this a few years ago pre-NV when my phone idled on overloaded sites. Sent from my Nexus 6

    Google announced the ability today to have bitmap icons for notifications. They basically said it lets you build the icons on the fly, so it should eliminate the need for individual icons for each signal strength and band. Sent from my Nexus 6

    It seems the update didn't fix the issue with scrolling. If you quickly scroll up through a long list, when it reaches the top it bounces and scrolls back down again... Sent from my Nexus 6

    The Sprint version does not. I doubt it would work on the T-Mobile version either since I'm guessing T-Mobile specific stuff is hard coded. I have a feeling Sprint won't get it until they roll out the back end for VoLTE. Sent from my Nexus 6

    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/ Sent from my Nexus 6

    I have mine set to LTE/CDMA, not global, but still see them. It seems to occur when the device is doing a handoff between sites or bands. Sent from my Nexus 6

    I've seen the same thing happen on my Nexus 6 with "Unknown" neighbors. It started happening with the current version. Mine shows 0db for the signal strength though. Sent from my Nexus 6

    I was just in the Detroit airport yesterday with a stock Nexus 6 and it didn't connect. I could see their Passpoint network and that it used WPA2-Enterprise, but I needed credentials to connect. I don't believe the Nexus 6 supports Passpoint. Sent from my Nexus 6

    Has anyone figured out if it's possible to put a custom PRL on this phone? Sent from my Nexus 6

    I wonder how they'll activate it on the Nexus 6. It seems that certain bands are disabled and enabled based on the SIM that's inserted. For example, a Sprint SIM disables Band 12 and only enables bands 25, 26, and 41. When people try enabling band 12 manually it basically breaks the phone and requires the radio to be reflashed to work again. Is this something they can push down remotely (ie update the "application" on the UICC to report that it uses additional bands now), or will it require a software update to enable the roaming bands?

    I've never had a notification saying it was using quick charge. The easiest way to tell is to charge it for a few minutes using the quick charge outlet, then use a quick charge 1.0 (2A 5V, so like a tablet charger or a Galaxy S4 charger) or non quick charge (1A 5V) and look at the battery stats. A quick way to do this is to wait until it shows the estimated time until charged information on the lockscreen. See how much they differ with the different chargers. Quick charge 1.0 is twice as fast as an old standard adapter. And Quick Charge 2.0 is about 1.5x as fast as Quick Charge 1.0 (ie 5W for standard, 10W for QC 1.0, and 15W for QC 2.0).

    Oh yeah, that is in my smart unlock settings now. That's definitely useful if it actually works well. Sent from my Nexus 6

    How does it know it's on body? Is it voice recognition? I know that was rumored to be an unlock method in the new Play Services. Sent from my Nexus 6

    One thing I've noticed, at least with 47E (haven't tested it on 47D) is that it no longer shows 1x when it doesn't have evdo. It shows 3G in the status bar, while the engineering screen shows it only has 1x. So this appears to be a regression from 5.0.1. Can anyone with 47D confirm? Sent from my Nexus 6

    Is there a possibility of having neighboring sites show the band, based on the logs? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    You can go into a store (that's also a repair center) and ask for one. If they say they don't have one for a Nexus 6, ask for a SIM for an iPhone 6/6+. The store doesn't stock the cards, but they'll just pull one from a broken phone they have in the back and set it up for you. Alternatively, do a chat/email with Sprint International and ask for a SIM. They'll mail you one for free, but it'll take a few days. You can pay for quicker shipping.

    I don't have a good reference point as to exactly when this started happening (I was out of the country for 2 weeks when 5.1 was released, and updated while there), but my phone definitely doesn't seem to want to use band 26 anymore. Previously it would usually keep me on band 26 while idle (ie wifi). Now I stick on band 25 in my apartment until my signal drops to -125 (averages -115 to -120 in some areas) and will eventually drop to 3G. The end result is I always show 0 bars. My band 26 signal is -95 in the same location (1x is about the same, 1x800 is around -75). So either the update made my phone really not want to use band 26, or some Sprint network optimization is at fault. Both bands in the area are incredibly overloaded on downstream for what it's worth (downstream is 0.2 mbit, upstream is around 7 mbit). I'm a bit concerned about missing calls because of it hanging on to such a weak signal. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Anyone else no longer picking up band 26 with the new E update? Edit: Nevermind, it seems band 26 just isn't working today on the tower I usually use. Sprint really needs to step up band 41 deployment in the SF Easy Bay. I average 0.2 mbit now on both band 25 and 26.

    You can request one for free through Sprint International and they'll ship it. Or go into a store and ask for one. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
