Hi, from Three UK's 4G roll-out announcement, they say that they'll be sending out a software update to all 4G compatible phones. I'm wondering, since I have a custom ROM, GPe 4.4, surely I won't get that update, right? I'm running the latest firmware so is there a chance that my One is already compatible with 4G/LTE on Three UK?
Cheers.
Just to give an update on this, I went in to Birmingham this week which is a 4G area and I could connect to LTE no problems without installing an update.
Hi,
Just installed Developer M Preview on my Nexus 6
Not getting hardly any 4G on Vodafone in the UK
Takes ages to go onto 4G then hardly ever goes back on when it comes off
Should I flash an existing radio file ? Any tips ? The radio file from Verizon update basically acted the same
Any ideas would be appreciated thanks.
PS its a UK model Nexus 6 64gb if that's relevant.
Just try any radio to see if its better. If not, probably not much else you can do if you've come from a fresh install ( factory reset).
Remember, its not supposed to be a daily driver
The build itself is quite stable its the radio in the UK
Doesn't hold onto 4G at all.
Anyone in the UK/EU used all the radios and have any feedback on which one gives best service ?
Using T-Mobile 5.1 radio for now but wondering if there's any other suggestions ?
I'm on Vodafone in the UK and I was using the developer build and my signal was fine was using for about 3 days then switched back to stock

Well each radio acts differently for each user based on any number of environmental variables, so even answering that would not be useful unfortunately.
Hello XDA,
I recently updated my nexus to LMY48M. Noticed from day 1 im having less wifi and call reception.
What can i do about it? is there a different radio i can flash? When i first got my nexus the recetion was very good.
My nexus is unlocked btw. Not T-Mobile or anything.
Anyone having radio issues with LMY48M ?

you can try flashing any of the previous radio versions, even the one you had before. it doesnt matter who your provider is, as they work with any provider.
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?

im using marshmallow on tmobile, in nyc, and no problems here. try a different radio, or a few, if the problems still persist then its probably a local tmobile issue. as i said before, im using the 27R radio.

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).
