Your mother has an iPhone 6 Plus?  It does not support band 12.  This is not band 12.

Oh I totally forgot about that. Hmmmmmmm

Because it is LTE Roaming+, the data roaming setting should not need to be enabled to access it.

 

I would be curious, though, to see what MCC-MNC and band Nex-Tech is using.  It could be dual broadcasting a Sprint MCC-MNC and using MFBI.  Unfortunately, your mother has an iPhone and gathering that info is not as easy as opening SignalCheck Pro.

That is really interesting. I didn't realize it would be handled separately like that. Sadly I don't have any more Sprint phones available to test.

So do you think enabling band 12 on my nexus 6 would have a chance of working?

Roaming is set to voice only. Data roaming is off and international CDMA is on. Very interesting because she has data.

I might have to call Sprint for my msl. The old method of looking in logcat doesn't seem to working for me.

I guess you've confirmed what we've thought to be that case, and that is that unlocked devices won't support LTE roaming. Not surprising really.

That would be very disappointing. Would it have anything to do with band 12? I checked and right now its disabled on my phone.

So I have a question about roaming plus. I'm out visiting family in Smith Center Kansas. I know this is a lte romaing + area that has nextech. What is weird is my nexus 6 and my sisters nexus 5x are only using evdo while my mother's iPhone 6 plus has extended LTE. Does anyone here know why that is and is there a fix?

So I just got a hangouts update. Its the one with project Fi support. I wonder if some of the features will work with google voice users.

Last night I was picking up band 41 at the apple bee's at greenwich and 13th.

I haven't had the issue and I live in Kansas. I believe that's an Ericsson market. But I do have my number integrated with Google voice.

Awesome! you got signal check?

Here is an indoors test.

Well this makes me very happy! Just happened to open LTE discovery and found this. Can't wait for this to hit the rest of Wichita.

It works pretty well for me. My main issues are the delay when someone picks up and the fact that MMS is still not coming through on hangouts.

So has anyone noticed that on the Motorola nexus 6 specs page it says water resistant?

Well that's my bad. I could of swore I didn't see that the first time but it's there. Sorry guys.

I'm not sure if this is real but the guy that created this thread claims to have used the nexus 6. There are two interesting things he says. First, his friend who uses the nexus lives in Overland Park KS and the phone wasn't using the Verizon network. Hint hint. Second, apparently the camera blew him away.

Thanks for the info.

With all due respect, that's not "it works perfectly", it's more like "here is a workaround I have settled on that is not too troublesome". Should be enough for a lot of people though, thank you

So I have Sprint integration with Google voice and hangouts is merged with Google voice. It works perfectly for me. Here is the key to make it work. First download another texting app like textra. Make it the default messenger. By doing this hangouts no longer handles basic sms messaging. Now for whatever texting app you downloaded turn off notifications from it. Go ahead and integrate your Sprint number with Google voice and from the web interface make sure it doesn't forward calls to your phone. Hopefully hangouts will allow you to integrate with Google voice and then all your texts and calls will go to hangouts. Texts will go over data and so will calls. I found that the cause of the multiple texts to one person was because hangouts was set as the default for normal sms messaging and then when you integrate with Google voice it would also send a text using data over Google voice. Now you can use hangouts for voice and text over data. If you get in a situation where you don't have a good data connection just make a call from the regular dialer or send a text from your other texting app.

Man I really hope sprint will support the next nexus. I would be so disappointed if they didn't. The nexus 5 has been my best android experience by far. This whole no moto x support scares me.

So I got sprint google voice integration to work finally. Its awesome! To get texts over data I just downloaded another texting app, made it default and turned of its notifications. Now I can use hangouts and no double messages.

my setup works almost perfect, here is something you can try, if you are having problems.

 

1. first, you don't need a GV# to set this up the integration. it's okay if you do, you just don't need one.

 

2. call sprint an ask them to add Google Voice integration on your number.

 

3. After Sprint says they have added GV Integration, log into your sprint account from a computer to verify that it shows GV Integration.

 

4. From your smartphone, go to settings and Update Profile.

5. login to your Gmail account.

6. go to Google.com/Voice and try the GV Sprint Integration.

 

this process worked for all five of my Sprint lines.

 

I can't promise it will work, because perhaps the new Sprint plans don't support GV.

So has anyone who was having trouble turning on the integration gotten it to work yet? I'm trying to figure out if it is a sprint/google issue or its an issue with my account.

I am also having problems with turning on sprint integration. I have never used Sprint Integration before. It keeps telling me that "Unfortunately, Google voice cannot be enabled on this Sprint phone. Please contact Sprint for more details as to why this cannot be enabled." At first the only option it gave me was to port my number. It finally showed the integration option when I created a google voice number.
