Band 12 - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently in the Cincinnati Ohio area and I read that T-Mobile has started up this band in this area but I'm only getting band 2 and my speeds are awful. Any one in this area as well?
Sorry forgot to mention I'm on the latest build lmy47m 5.1

this would be better in the Q/A area

Might also need to flash the modem/baseband again

Just reflash the radio and you'll be back up and running, mine does that when change band priorities but on sprint, I lose signal completely, so I don't think we're suppose to mess with those settings

Long press on the desktop>widgets>Activities>hidden menu
I'm using a the beta version of nova

I fixed the LTE not connecting by flashing radio again. Thanks @jwthompson. But I'm still only getting band 2 . my phone said band 12 is enabled but when I delv more into it it also saying its failing to connect I'm not messing with those band setting in that dialog no more it seems to just brake LTE connection so I'll just stay with band 2 I guess and the slow speeds. I no for a fact that band 12 is active in my area but for some reason my n6 will not connect.

HTC Vivid and 4GLTE in New York City

Well they hit the switch on December 1st of this year, been getting a strong LTE signal since then. Been keeping an eye on the data going in and out of this phone. I have noticed that during phone calls the network switches back to “4G“ and when calls end the “LTE“ reappears. Does anyone here maintain an LTE signal during phone calls by any chance?. Or is this just preliminary tower behavior for testing?

That's how LTE works on AT&T. When on a phone call it switches back to HSPA+. I think it will always be like this but I'm not 100% positive. Never been an issue for me. It switches back and forth very quickly and I hardly ever use data while I'm on the phone.
Well it seems LTE coverage is expanding in the NYC area as of today. I'm now getting LTE signal in the boroughs. Bronx and Queens to be exact.

[Q] N910F - LTE Enabled on T-Mobile via CM12

Hello everyone,
For the longest time I was not able to get LTE connection on my Note 4 international variant (N910F). I called T-Mobile about it, since I knew the phone had the capabilities to connect, and T-Mobile told me that I should have bought their phone if I wanted LTE, and that they could not help me.
Giving up all hope on LTE connection, I started installing roms to see what cool features where out there. I installed several different roms, and still I had no LTE (not that I was thinking of getting it). Then I installed CM12 and LTE appears! I check the speeds and indeed I was connected to LTE on T-Mobile line. Everything was great until I found out CM12 has three great bugs that I cannot live with: 1) No apps to SD possibility and 2) Access to the camera, from any app, crashes. I have to reopen the app a second time for the camera to function (Messenger has no access at all) and 3) Various app crashes.
So I returned to stock rom, but I miss the features of a custom rom (especially ViPER) and LTE. I tried other roms but I can't find any with LTE working.
Do you know what part of CM12 enables LTE? And if I can flash it into another more stable custom rom?
Thanks
With stock formware on N910F, the LTE icon is displayed as 4G. Try checking your connection again by going to Settings>About Device> Status... then under Mobile Network type.. you can see if you are actually connected to LTE.. There is also an app called Network Signal Info on play store. Good luck

I checked the connection on mobile network on stock ROM and the highest option I had was 4G. Maybe I'll email CyanogenMod and ask them. Thanks though

Yup....
On international phones, LTE signal is represented by 4G icon. So if you see 4G on your phone, it's actually LTE. You were already getting LTE in the first place. You did not have to flash roms and void warranty.
Do you see "LTE" as in the picture below?

When i did that it displayed HSPA+... And on speed tests it would go maybe 500kbps.. Now with CM12 I have LTE and downloads 3.5Mbps

(Q) Where Are VOLTE Settings? Enable Workaround

Found a quick fix/workaround:
Nova Launcher>Create Activity>Phone-99>Mobile Data>Enable Advanced Calls-VOLTE
Toggle off and on. Volte will now be enabled.

You check in the dialer settings? Open the dialer and tap on more. Go through those settings and see if it is there.

You're the man...... Thank you for this - My settings were already enabled but VoTLE wasn't working. Used your workaround to re-toggle Enhanced LTE services and VoTLE is working now
So I just checked this and I am NOT dropping to 4G when I make a call, VoLTE is working just fine out of the box. Are you guys saying yours is somehow turned off?

That is really crazy, I wonder how many phones are really like this and people just don't realize it. I wonder if a future update will bring back the option in the menu, not sure why they would remove it on purpose.
Mine didn't ask. It's set up for wifi calling. In fact, there's a icon in the notification bar I'd like to get rid of.
Can you walk through this: Nova Launcher>Create Activity>Phone-99>Mobile Data>Enable Advanced Calls-VOLTE I don't where you do this in nova.
Never mind, got it.
I have nova and don't see this option to create activity..

my device is G-930FD, even I installed the nova launch but did not find the option of Enhanced LTE Services, and only for options of Mobile Data and User capabilities exchange are found. So strange and felt disappointed.
So how is this done?

No, I did not have VOLTE for my note 7.
Nova Launcher>Press and Hold Screen>Select Widgets>Under Nova Launcher Widgets Select Activities and drag the icon to the home screen. A list of Activities pops up. Scroll down to Phone [there's 3 options for phone. Pick the one will 99 in the right corner.] Scroll down and select Mobile Data.

Can't Download Apps from Play store on Mobile Network

Like the title says! It just stopped working after months of no issues. I have the T719, and have had no issues using T-Mobile LTE for everything, including getting apps from Play. But now it sits there for a long time and gives error 500 if I am on mobile data. Works fine on wifi. I have used almost 27 GB this month, but I wouldn't think TMO would block Google Play downloads? Any ideas? I've tried every fix I've found on the net: cleared data in all the relevant apps, removed and re-added my Google account, etc etc!!
Just went into the play store to update.
Pressed the update all button, it took ages for it to start updating .

Sometimes I will see the download arrow in the notification bar at the top, just for a split second, then it will disappear. Then it just sits there saying 'downloading' in Play store and eventually says could not download.

Well, its working for me, but not as well as before. I was thinking perhaps T Mobile will eventually bar anything from their network that is not IMEI known to them. Especially tablets. . but you and I both own devices that are technically phones

Things do tend to get more locked down over time, but I hope this continues working. They gotta let unlocked phones work, no? Yeah, as far as they know, that's what we have.
I finally downloaded an app over LTE! But it happened in another part of town, away from my home. So if I get home and it doesn't work again, I'll be scratching my head lol. Signal meter indicates similar strength both places.

You didn't buy a OnePlus. You bought a OPPO. Oneplus died as a brand when Carl Pei left he company.
