H --> R --> H? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, new to the Nexus 6. I'm having a little issue. I keep getting an exclamation and an R, then back to H on my Nexus 6. I noticed that I wouldn't get connectivity if I didn't have Roaming enabled. I got it from Amazon Prime, which says it's a local edition of the Nexus 6 (not imported). And right now, for example, I'm on wifi. I see the Wifi symbol and then an R appears. It says I'm on roaming and then no? Hmm...
I've recorded this video of it, would you mind checking it out and letting me know?

Thanks.

Suggests that your service provider may have a weak signal in your area, or possibly they are experiencing technical difficulties (tower going on and off... I've seen this kind of thing happen lots of times). The fact that it switches to 3G/H *ever* means that it actually is compatible with your carrier.

I know it's not the issue. I have a note 4, same service provider. Also my partner has a z ultra and same service provider. No issues either.
I went into the sim toolkit and changed the roaming settings. Now let's see if it fixes the issue because it's driving me nuts. Lol.

I'm using a rom that is close to stock, I've had similar issue before. Try playing with the mobile data settings to see if this solves it. My carrier is Verizon.

[Q] T-Mobile Version Network?

http://imgur.com/a/E7wY0 < Pics lol. So My Phone wasn't showing LTE at the top and it's had a "!" with 5/4 bars showing so I panicked thinking I didn't have LTE (Which I did, I don't know why the Symbol went AWOL) so I went into Networks setting and changed Preferred Network Type into LTE (recommended) about 30mins later I got the LTE Symbol back. So Is there anyway I can change it back to "Global" and not LTE (recommended)? I just wanna make sure I can get 3G/2G when needed even tho I normally get 4G LTE everywhere I live hehe. I have bad OCD lol and this is affecting me badly LMAO
Is global really needed if you're in the states? I have mine set to LTE as well but I get 3g.

dial *#*#4636#*#*, then choose phone info, scroll down then change lte only to either lte/gsm or lte/gsm/cdma.

Thank's Simms22!! Changing it to LTE/GSM/CDMA Fixed the problem! This can be closed now.

[Q] msm_hsic_host wakelocks with 5.1?

Hey guys,
Haven't seen this wakelock issue pop up on the Nexus 6 yet, I know it was something that was an issue for the Nexus 4 and older version of the OS a while back
Anyways I've just updated to 5.1 and it's working surprisingly well, aside from having to downgrade the radio to receive calls.
The problem I'm noticing all of a sudden is the msm_hsic_host and PowerManagerService.Display, the former being the worse of the two.
In the screenshot you'll see that my phone is awake 61% of the time over 22 hours of testing, almost 6 of those hours being msm_hsic_host, and 4 being the PowerManagerService.
I looked a bit in to the msm one and it seems to come up when the phone is bouncing between 3G/LTE signals and people suggest putting the phone on wifi, but my phone has full-barred LTE almost always and when I'm home I'm on wifi, so this wasn't able to fix my issue.
Is there a way to see more detail what is causing this process to keep the phone awake? Or has anyone seen this and found a solution?

Host is usually related to poor signal. Display is just that, your screen is on.

Yeah for the host I had read it's related to a poor signal, but I don't have a poor signal at all. When I'm at work it's full LTE as you can see in the screenshot above.
At home I'm on Wifi, and even if I'm not on Wifi it's also a full signal.

Did you also get this figured out? Because I am having this wakelock as well on Franco Kernel on my Nexus 6.

Poll: Slow wifi and data

I'm having very slow wifi and data on my ATT S6 Edge. Its only about 13 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up. My wifi does 50 Mbps down but should be about double that.
My previous phone, the LG G2 D800 was getting about 70 Mbps down on data in the same area. Just wondering of any of you are having the same problems. If its just me, it might be a hardware issue - have to return it
Thanks

You should also add one or two more options like "no issue" and possibly "best wifi performance yet".
FYI, I have no issues.

Make sure no other apps are running in the background. Also side no for bloat ware. do you have anything disable that could be the culprit? Also it can be based on the network itself I recommend trying to run the test at night so no body in your block using up the line. As for mobile data have you,checked if you'really provision properly sometimes att causes issues like that so it is best to check if they got you provisioned on the correct device.

What do you mean by provisioned?

Cannot Connect to LTE. Throttling?

Hi,
Since last Friday I haven't been connecting to LTE. I'm running multirom with the latest BBOYZ Sense ROM and then on secondary a minimal GPE ROM without root that I just use when I want Android Pay. Neither has connected to LTE since Friday. I'll see LTE show up for a second but it won't spin like it's doing anything and eventually will switch back to 3G. I have unlimited data and have never had a problem in the past. This monthly cycle I've used 0.6553GB of 3G data, 1.5186MB Data Roaming, and 13.4001GB LTE. My wife's iPhone 5s still connects to LTE just fine. We have a tower near our home and get a great signal. My wife has used about .25GB. Billing cycle says tomorrow so that might mean it resets tomorrow or tomorrow is the last day, not sure. Anyone have any thoughts? Am I being throttled? Or maybe I just need to give it a full wipe and flash a RUU?
Thanks!
I decided to try a full RUU. Still only getting 3G. I did some reading and saw Sprint (about 2 weeks ago) said they're going to limit high volume users when they get over 23GB but that they'd be notified. I haven't been notified or used that much data. I guess I'll see what tomorrow brings. If I get into Wednesday with no LTE I'll head over to my Sprint store..

Have you tried either ##72786# or ##3282# while using a Sense ROM?

I went into both those menus but wasn't sure what to do. Was about to ask but I disconnected from wifi and now have LTE. Don't see how that helped but maybe it did! Thanks regardless!

Won't switch back to 4g lte vzw

Hi, so I am running nx rom 9.8.1 on my xt1060 de. I am having a problem where the phone goes to 3g and won't come back to 4g without toggling airplane mode or restarting.
I have pushed fsb.bin and non-hlos from the Verizon stock file. I have deleted modem st1 and 2, and have replaced the apn with one I found for Verizon specific.
Still, I get stuck on 3g.
Any ideas

Does the same thing happen on stock?
No, on stock it holds 4g well. I had a host of other problems on stock, but it held signal

In the early lollipop builds for my porevious device (RAZR M), I use to modify/add the build props as below to improve my switching over to 4G. I don't think it will work you, but hey, give it a try, after a backup...
Code:
telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1
ro.telephony.default_network=9
ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9
Basically, its setting the default network to LTE, the preferred network to LTE and setting the GSM device to allow LTE. You may be lucky and it might work.
UPDATE: I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad. I reset the entire phone, clean wipe and put the factory image back on vs NXROM. Same issue. Did some digging and found some suggesting that a SIM swap helps. Had a spare and popped it in. Things are back to LTE for the time being.
