ericdabbs has a vested interest in maintaining contract subsidy.  He is on a sweetheart/sham SERO plan that includes subsidized upgrades -- all of which is a problem in its own right.

I'm also a SERO member, I'm right there with ericdabbs. It's super annoying to upgrade devices. Got hung up on twice when ordering the N6 because I didn't want TEP. I'll just add it next and use chat to remove it.

Especially if she references his real hump.

Today is hump day! WOOP WOOP!

I would be impressed if that is the original EVO LTE?

Worst LTE performance of all time!

I have it on the top and bottom. Much worse on the bottom though.

Same. A lot more noticeable on the bottom. The icons on the top make it less noticeable to me.

There used to be an app to invert the colors to reverse the burn in or use a white background.

I've tried an app that did that and a 10 hour long youtube video that rotated colors with no luck.

I have to just deal with it which isn't that big of a deal. Still give the phone 5/5 stars.

IIRC the N6 uses an AMOLED screen, so that's normal. (And it's the reason I prefer a nice LCD over an AMOLED. I love the recent Moto hardware design, but AMOLEDs really make me question it.)

This is my first AMOLED phone. I've read about burn-in but never actually saw it in person until now. Going forward, I agree about preferring LCD. I literally love everything else about the phone.

Not sure if this has already been brought up but is anyone else experiencing burn-in on the top and bottom of their N6? 

My nexus 6 has been screwy with texting. They are delayed and often out of order. It seems like it I'm getting texts in batches. Sometimes I have to wait 10 minutes and then I get flooded with messages from multiple people all at once.

Has anyone figured out how to pull the MSL for these devices?

Just use the online chat from sprint.com. Tell them you are an app developer and they will give it to you. I did that for the N5 last year.

Sorry if it was mentioned earlier, I couldn't find it. Do we know the difference between D and E?

I think Robert said Southern CA, not Southern OC. As far as I know, Tustin and Irvine are ok.

Yes, I said Southern CA.

You're both right, my mistake. Read it too quickly.

Looks like it is. I didn't connect to any Clearwire B41 in downtown LA today when I usually do. And on my commute home on the Metrolink back to OC to the Tustin station, I didn't connect to any Clearwire B41 towers where I normally do. At times I dropped down to 3G on the train, and that hasn't happened in months. Also, the Clearwire B41 tower near my place appears to be down too...about to submit another report on the Sprint Zone app.

 

Goes to show you how important B41 is...even on the train going upwards of 40-50mph.

I'm surprised it is this widespread. Robert reported Southern OC, I'm mid to Northern OC, and you're in LA. It really does show how important B41 is. B25 is so congested it's barely usable. On my commutes to and from school I would be constantly in and out of B41 (mainly on B41), which is great. Yesterday however, I noticed it was mainly 3g with a few B25 spots. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.

I thought I was getting throttled because I looked at some forums and Sprint said the top 5% mark is around 5 gb (which I find hard to believe is that low). So I figured when they throttle they drop you down to 3g but Robert stated that is not how it is done.

I deny your claim.  Sprint doesn't throttle people by blocking them from LTE and using 3G only.  They throttle on the packet level on LTE.  And only on overburdened sites.

 

There is a known LTE outage occurring in Southern CA.  Several members are discussing it in various threads.  This is likely your issue.

I would consider myself to be in Northern OC. After I posted here service started to be going up and down outside the scope of my original post. Maybe the issues are affecting a larger range.

Just went Sprint gets good in Orange Country I lose LTE. I think Sprint started throttling me. My normal spots that I'm has B25 and great B41 and all of a sudden I'm stuck on 3G in those locations. I tried resetting my phone and have provisioned it again. If I cycle airplane mode it briefly connects to LTE and then drops back to 3G, which is horribly unusable. Can anyone confirm or deny my claim? My data usage 8.8 gb, which I didn't think was a lot. I stream music and use my phone for work and school (mainly emails).

I just want the multiple texts and random appl closes to stop and the dialer menu to check bands.

traveling this morning up the 5 from San Diego, I locked on lte2500 and b41 for several miles upon entering OC. Signal check was also reporting 3 to 6 adjacent cells at the same time.

Awesome. Coverage is getting pretty good. Southern OC is looking pretty good as well.

Kind of odd, feels like somebody forgot to bring their iphone for the ad.

PRODUCT PLACEMENT!

I recently noticed a huge jump in B41 in northern, mid, and parts in Newport Beach. Average speeds around 20~30 Mbps. I personally would be OK at being throttled to unlimited 20 Mbps if that meant getting that speed everywhere! Throttle for a high average per user!

You are right. I like that because I don't mind sprints visual voicemail

Yea I kind of miss that as well. For years I thought it was an android thing haha. I was wrong.

Note: if purchased from AT&T or TMobile then it will have bloatware and such...

I thought the Tmobile was the same, it just uses the sim to install bloat at activation that can be uninstalled by the user. It isn't baked into the OS like all the other phones on the carriers. 

I know the ATT version is branded and such...

Ok, so it may be an issue in both Samsung and ALU markets. Can anyone else in an Ericsson market confirm that they do or do not have this issue?

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this. If you are on LTE and you send a sms and it immediately says "now" for the time stamp then it was sent then it's fine. However, if you send a sms and it says "sending" for longer than it should then it will duplicate to the person you're sending it to.

I'm in SoCal (Alcatel-Lucent market) and I have the duplication problem. Bought my N6 from Sprint.

For the amount of people at the  park and surroundings, its reasonable and decent. I use it for  facebook, uploading a pic on Instagram, sending a MMS and checking ride wait times. Almost like  3G speeds.

Fair enough. My friend lives near by and in the backyard his Wi-Fi doesn't reach so we are forced to use carrier networks.

I was in disneyland last night, LTE speeds were decent around 1.5mbps, but no band 41

Not to sound rude but how is 1.5 mpbs decent? I'd say 5-7 is decent with anything above 15 not needed.

How's anaheim, Fullerton?

I'm in those areas a lot. Most of it has decent coverage. More B41 found in Fullerton than in Anaheim but it really depends where. I'm often near disney and am a little disappointed on the speeds.

Hey guys anyone having issues sending/receiving text while in a phone call on the Nexus 6?  I have always been able to send/receive in the past while talking on the phone.

Nope. My issue is my N6 likes to send the same message 3-6 times. I'm not getting any sent errors on my end. Only seems to be happening to N6's in my area. Few other friends and family with N6's are doing the same.
