sprint airrave - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

just got an airrave from sprint and waited 2 hours like the manual said in order for the lights to turn green everything seems to be working fine on the airrave but my phone wont connect to it. im running pure nexus rom and spark kernel. Anyone knows of a reason why i cant connect to the airrave ? Is it becuase im running a custom rom and kernel ? Can someone with an airrave give me any advice

idk but when I wanted an airave the tech said it wouldn't work on the nexus because it had no Sprint software (bloatware)

When I had sprint, I had my Samsung S2's and my Nexus 5 working on it when I was running custom ROMS. You could always go back to stock to see. BTW, I am going to assume you do have your N6 WIFI on. It wont work without WIFI being on.

I have an Airrave and it was my understanding that it is a pico-cell so your phone is connected to it with it's cellular radio, not WiFi.

The one I had, i thought would only work when the phone wifi was on. Maybe because my phone reception was so terrible.
That was over two years ago, so I may be mistaken...

ATT nexus one & kernels/ROMs

will the existing nexus one kernels/roms work with the att nexus one or is the difference in radio band a show stopper? Just ordered the att nexus one, and currently have a rooted Droid - not sure i could go back to an unrooted & unmod'ed phone
I'm assuming that by ATT you mean unlocked. Regardless, the Nexus One does not have the necessary hardware to use AT&T's 3G. Aside from this, they are compatible. It is the same phone.
No he means the verison thats comming out to be compatible with AT&T's 3G network
It doesn't seem as though Google released a different set of kernel sources for the AT&T Nexus One, so I would assume that all current ROMs are compatible with the new hardware revision.
I just ordered one, by the way.

Backup your phone, and flash 5.0.4.1. If it works, great! If not? Restore your backup.
Only one way to find out! I get my ATT n1 tomorrow as well. It's going to make my current n1 sad.

Yes, it does now. It's a different model.
So the question remains - are the roms/procedures the same?
i got my att n1 today and the first thing i did was flashed cm 5.0.5 test 2 on it and all i can say its behaving just like the t-mobile one.
im loving the ability to use rogers 3g network since i hate using wifi.

ATT Galaxy Note 1 (i717) on T-mobile?

Anyone done this? There seems to be some gray area on data services. I don't mind flashing a new rom to obtain 4G, which ive read one person has done.
Anyone accomplished this move?
Yes a lot of us have done this... Im running stock tmobile ics wth blaze modem.. Om my att note

Hi. As long as you have the correct modem to pull in 3g/4g you can run any rom- tmobile or att. I have the modem UVLG3modemfori717_gt-n7005amss. Works just as good as Blaze for me.
Ran Jedi and was very happy with it. Now am running Jedi-sons of android(att by ptmr3) 4.2.2

that's the main reason I stick with stock rom [mine sgh-t879], rooted, and way debloated.
fabulous device really. 2 days of batt life [i turn it off when I sleep], lean, mean, fast, beautiful.
I use wifi exclusively in home home-office and every other place I get a chance, which as everyone knows is an increasingly long list.
the only 'bug' I have at the moment is something sporadically defeating NoLED which I use for notifications, and that Noozozide [a fabulous app] doesn't like something in there... probably the google play player. haven't had time to sort that yet.
I was reading that the tmo wifi app was figured out to work on another android phone(can't remember what one)- they altered the build prop and hacked the apk. Too bad no one is interested in doing this for the ATT note There are so few ATT Notes running on tmobile. Once they are out of contract- another year or so, and they will be moving on to newer phones. Jedi4 worked for me as far as wifi calling- but I have no need at present for the wifi calling feature, but it is great when you need it!
I was looking into the new tmo uncarrier plans and thinking about getting the iphone5 to add to my android collection- but no wifi calling for it. At least not initially, and they are being coy about future plans for it. If I am gonna get a new tmobile phone it should have wifi calling. Am going to europe in the fall and it will come in handy!
I love my note- really do, but there are times I would love a smaller phone to slip into my pocket and go. The Note is huge- at times a great thing, at times a not so great thing. New Iphone will rescue my itunes and make music an easier managed thing on the computer. Doubletwist and air sync just isn't the same. Might have to get my apple hacking tools sharpened!
the sgh-t879 is just fabulous and a bit of a bargain, though the i717 is typically a tad less in pristine condition.
As far as I know samsung T-mo variants have the Wifi calling very solid but I don't know what to expect going international - you obviously need a world phone multi-band.
we have the SII, the "S 4G" and the Note - all deliver the beans well on wifi. The Blaze does also and is the better choice vs. the S 4G, as we've found out.
I understand what you mean about smaller size - you may have to go Nexus but I despise the fixed battery [the life is not great...do not let anyone fool you] and lack of removable storage. if you want to go cheap, get the LG optimus L9... its a great phone to use just out of the box debloated: wifi is excellent. the knock is there's not many hacks for it since LG made it difficult. those can be had for 250 bucks and sold for nearly the same as it gets terrific user reviews. around here [austin tx, san antonio etc] some steals come around on craigslist ... people get those with a contract upgrade for free, then sell on c'list to go buy a note or some other thing. have seen new ones for $175

I just wanted to chime in for a moment. I acquired a att note from eBay a couple of weeks ago and I am running the jedi 4 ROM and WIFI calling is great with no hiccups. It's fast and beautiful. Now mind you I am coming from a gs2 before the jellybean upgrade. In fact the second day my wife had the gs2 was when the update was pushed out. Moving on since I am rambling, i love my note it fits right in with my nexus 7. The only thing I wish was that jellybean was out officially I require WiFi calling......

Access LTE on T-Mobile
Hi just wanted to chime in. If T-Mobile has LTE in your area, you can access it by using the stock AT&T Rom and Modem. Just root it and Debloat it. Here's some of the speeds I've been able to get. The only thing, When I'm sitting at my desk at work, I have to switch to a different modem to pick up 3G and HSPA+ (21.6 Mb/S) I will say every test that I did using the stock AT&T modem was higher than any other modem I used.
Everyone seems to be talking about wifi calling.. how well does normal calling work? how is the signal over all? is it worth it to get an AT&T version and try to use the blaze modems instead of getting the T-Mobile version?
Just use jedi leader ics 4.0.4 it has wifi calling and stable...for tmobile version...

[Q] Tmobile Note 3 rom on AT&T Note 3

I know this seems like an unusual request but i was wondering if it were possible to use odin to install the T-Mobile Note 3 rom on or AT&T Note 3? Only reason I'm asking is because I work allot out of my office at work and there's very little cellphone reception if any in my office I was curious if it would be possible to swap roms because of T-Mobiles WiFi calling and texting feature built into their roms.
Any information would help pls.
Edit:
I've found on this forum a thread that another member was successful in using Odin to flash a T-mobile rom... here is his thread can a respected member on here please chime in?

No, as we have a locked boot loader. Trying will most likely brick your phone. WIFI calling doesn't work on AT&T as it is not supported by AT&T. That is why you don't see it on any ROMS for AT&T. Would be nice.

I have an ATT Note 3 with T MO software. It is fairly straightforward. Was easy to install. Once I installed the TMO os on the phone it WORKED BETTER.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625946
Again, I cannot wifi call but adding the tmo carrier option via the Modificatinator helped a lot and it FIXED THE GPS issue. It's obvious the GPS issue is ATT related. Adding the additional TMO was a lil pain until I figured it out it was cake.

Hi,
I am planning on installing "TweakedN3 2.0 UVUBMI7 4.3 SM-N900T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 ... for AT&T!" this weekend. Can you tell me how and what what you did in the Modificatinator to include TMO ?
Thanks!
So I loaded the Tweaked rom on my N3 and it is pretty impressive. The only thing that doesnt work is WIFI. ANNOYING. It hangs at "enabling wifi" Unsure why. Seems to do this with all the non Aroma TMO roms except Elite S5 port.
You must use the wifi fix, umm its around, I do not have it on me, PM me to remind me, I will upload it when I get home. :good:
Hello - I have the same situation as those in this thread. Got a deal on an AT&T Note 3 unlocked, but am on T-Mobile's network. I'm using the Alliance T-Mobile ROM for the AT&T Note 3 and everything is great except wifi calling doesn't work. Always get a ER041 DNS error or hangs when trying to switch wifi calling settings. Since I'm on T-Mobile's network, shouldn't I be able to use wifi calling? This shouldn't be a radio issue but rather a software one I would think.
To add to this, the following post mentions this feature is at the kernel level and wifi calling will not work. Not sure if this can be confirmed or there is truly a fix.
This wifi 'fix' that was mentioned; does it exist and do you or anyone have the link? TIA

Wifi calls working?
I was wondering if you ever got the wifi calls and texts to work on your SM-N900A? If so, what did you have to do? If I can't get it working I might just go back to my S3, only because I work at ExxonMobil and all the buildings out here are "blast proof" causing zero cell signal.

You can't get tmobile wifi calling to work, but you can get a Google voice number then installed Hangout dial to work as wifi calling, I have same experience since I never got signal in my office. So I use google voice all the time, well i need tell others my phone numbers though. it is free to call within US, and Canada, other place i think there is charge.
Cool, I'll do that. Thanks.

[Q] double layered question about rooting and usage

Hi
I am having a rough time finding the right phone. First I bought a oneplus one used it on Tmobile and had trouble with coverage AND wifi call wouldnt work because no Tmoble phone.
Then I got the Moto X and loved it, but on Verizon and no way to root. And back it goes.......
Now I am playing with the thought getting a Nexus 6.
Question 1 : I understand I can root that and it comes unlocked from T-mobile right? ( traveling a lot and need a phone I can slap a sim in while I am traveling).
Question 2. : can I after I rooted it still use the wifi call feature?
Thanks in advance

Yes to both of your questions. Though #2 will only be available here in the USA I think...

Once rooted wifi calling should still work. It has on every other T-Mobile device, at least that I know of. You can probably flash custom ROMs and kernels while keeping it as well, at least in theory.
That said, the Nexus 6 doesn't have wifi calling yet. It is supposed to come early 2015 in an OTA, but as of today there is no wifi calling feature on the Nexus 6. So if wifi calling as an extremely important factor, the Nexus 6 may not be for you just yet.

T-Mobile MRA58X build possibly did something to turn radio down a notch..

I just flashed this build to my N6 a couple a days ago and right off I noticed that while in my house I wasn't getting a good lte signal anymore. Now before I updated to this build I had good lte in my house almost full bars even in my basement I had at least 2 or 3 bars. Well needless to say I wasn't happy with that so I flashed back to what I was running before which was MRA58N and sometimes R . Well when I flashed back to these builds I noticed again that something wasn't right my signal seemed to have been broke! So I started flashing just radios to see if that would help but to no avail.. I even called T-Mobile and they said nothing was going on in my area and I should have good signal ,but in that same sentence he brought up the cellspot tower that they want everyone in low signal areas to use. Well to make a long story short I live in the city and before I flashed this latest T-Mobile build I had great service even in my house. The messed up thing is I can't fix my N6 now know matter what build I use my signal is no good in my house anymore. It's almost like they have put a patch of some sort to my phone and it modded my phone to not had goog lte service behind walls. My phone now jumps from 3g to h to the ! Mark even when it's in some spot! My battery sucks now because of the constant change. I'm getting a new n6 Monday and I hope it doesn't have this X build on it because I'm going to not flash and see if my signal stays the way it used to which was a good signal. If it has good signal I'm (and this is just my opinion) think there /T-Mobile is just trying to push this cellspot tower on as many as they can and help it along is turning down Rf in our phones so they don't work well indoors.. Just my opinion!
I want the MRA58X radio to see if I have the same problem. I have the MRA58M with the 27R radio and it runs good. I wanna see if the 30R radio gives me more band 12 because I live in a band 12 area but it switches back to band 4 with the quickness. Anybody have the 30R radio in zip forms? It'll be greatly appreciated.

Oh the MRA58X does have band 12. Im not flashing this X build when my new N 6 gets here! I'll stay far away from it! I'll stick with Google's official builds! MRA58N worked great for me on T-Mobile and WiFi calling and I had band 12 as well. When I flashed this X build everything went haywire... IMO!
Im on MRA58X just wanted to know why all these different numbers ? And why is the x bad?

MRA58X screwed up my data/ signal it was jumping all over the place for me. It would literally go from band 12 to 2 then 4 the radio never had a chance to settle and was causing major battery drain. The messed up thing is for some reason I couldn't even revert back to other builds cause the radio stayed messed up no matter what build I was on or rom.. I truly think MRA58X messed my n6 up and T-Mobile thinks it may have as well that's why there sending me a new n6 by Monday..?
Oh I forgot this radio jumping all over the place happens anywhere I go even when Im not even moving..?
Flashing different radios don't help either... I'm truly think this build/X does something weird with the way the phone tracks signals and for me its a major problem

Interesting, i have moto x pure , nexus 5x amd yesterday got the nexus 6 from the Amazon deal, so before using the nexuses i was with the moto x and had no problems with it watching youtube videos or anything. Then 3 days ago i got the nexus 5x and put my tmobile sim in it and started using that and was noticing that the videos were stopping like i was feeling something is not right , then yesterday got the Nexus 6 and put the sim in this now im having the same issues i was on lollipop and was not offering me the marshmallow update, so i unlocked the bootloader and when the phone started it gave the 6.0 update . so now im on the MRA58X. And im thinking maybe the marshmallow has to do something with that? Because the moto x is on lolipop and its a beast. Sorry for the long write.
you guys do realize that you can use any nexus 6 radio on any version of android? well you can. if this radio is giving you issues, you are more than welcome to try any other radio that you like, until you find the one that works best for you. im on tmobile, am using the 27R radio, wifi calling works fine, and so does everything else.

I know but im thinking maybe its the T-Mobile giving problems with the signal not the phone itself? Or maybe the marshmallow is handling the radio differently then the lolipop?

I've tried every radio out there. Before MRA58X this would solve the problem but since I flashed the X build it seems every radio now that I try has same issue. It's like the new X build did some kind of software change and now I'm stuck with every single radio I use jumping all over the place. Before X I didn't have this issue..
I did call T-Mobile and they said there is no problems with the network in my area. They are sending me a new phone and I'm not flashing X period..?

well, it could be not the radio thats the issue as well. tmo delayed marshmallows release because they found a bug, then waited for a rom update. the rom update might be the issue. no, im not on that last tmo build, but all the builds work on tmo, and all of tmos features too. maybe you should try a different marshmallow build?

I did go back to NRA58K then N then even R. But after I flashed the X build it screwed up something where now even on those older builds its screwed up my data. before I flash X I was using MRA58k N and r with no issues. But since I flashed X now on any build its screwed up . Hope that makes sense..?
I'd put up a logcat but I run purely stock anymore because of PAY which I have to have?when I get my new n6 I'm not going to flash MRA58X and I'll see how things work. If all is well then it was the X build or maybe just something in my phone broke. I guess I'll find out Monday..
I've been on stock x for about 4 days. I'm seeing none of these issues and I still have great battery life. Phone has been perfect. I took the ota though. I did not flash x

I am having the exact same issue on my Nexus 6 after taking the MRA58X update. My phone never used to associate with anything besides LTE or HSPA. After updating my phone would switch between all different network modes, even those that I have never seen in my area before the update. The problem is especially bad when roaming around, but having the phone stationary can also exhibit this behavior. The sequence of events is similar to the following: LTE, HSPA, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS (3G), GPRS, EDGE, LTE for a couple seconds, GPRS, HSPA, GPRS... The network is so unstable on the 2G based networks which made using the Internet very difficult. Reverting the radio to the previous version does not fix the issue as reported by a previous user, and it seems like that the update has made some changes in a way to at affects how the radio associates with neighboring towers permanently. I would advise against taking this update if you are using T-Mobile and your device is out of warranty, as T-Mobile will most likely not cover the "damage" even though it may be OTA related. It does however seem that using the *#*#4636#*#* code and forcing the phone into LTE mode makes the mad network switching go away, although now the phone can't grab onto HSPA in LTE coverage holes and call issues in non VoLTE areas. My standby battery life also seems to be significantly reduced by all of this network searching in the background.
You have been warned...
I took the X Ota and the phone is working flawless for me. Sorry you guys are having issues

Clean flash back to lollipop and see if that changes anything.
If it doesn't, it isn't the phone/rom.
BTW I recently got the X update and so far so good but to be fair I'm on wifi alot.
(but LTE does work as before)
...and it there are indeed weird tower issues, a rep won't tell you specifics.
I'm on MRA58N with TMO in the Metro Chicago area, WiFi calling, VoLTE, and HD calling all work fine, but it seems as though my N6 is just stuck on band 4. I've never ever seen this device surf on band 12 (and I run the LTE Discovery app).
