I bought my nexus 6 from Motorola.com, so it's unlocked, unbranded. I live in Minneapolis, right in the city, which is one of the markets recently launched with the coveted Band 12. BUT from what I can tell my phone is still connecting on good old AWS spectrum whether on LTE or HSPA. I'm using both LTE Discovery and SignalCheck Pro for stats on my LTE connection. I have yet to see band 12. I'm wondering if anyone else is having a similar experience? I've contacted T-Mobile and they say that they only support basically the most recent Samsung devices (Note 4, etc.) and a particular ZTE hotspot device on band 12. Does ANYONE know if the next android update is supposed to "enable" band 12 on the N6 for T-Mobile, because I was basically told by a T-Mobile phone rep that a software update would enable that feature on some existing phones. But since this phone has that band already and is unlocked and unbranded, and doesn't run custom T-Mobile firmware, I assumed it would pick up whatever airwaves are nearby.
OR is it just my crummy luck and other N6 users ARE seeing band 12 in the markets where available?
I do not think all of Minneapolis is covered in band 12 yet. You could be in a area that doesn't have it or band 4 could be better in the area so the phone connects to that. T-Mobile did say wifi calling was coming to the N6 at one point so maybe that will be when band 12 will be used. Unless you can get a note 4 in the area you are at that shows band 12 being used with the N6 still on band 4, I would just wait and see. I work in Eagan, MN and I have yet to see any phone connect to band 12. I do work in a T-Mo Corp store.
I've been wondering the same thing....
I'm in Dallas and have yet to see band 12 on my T-mobile Nexus 6.
I don't think Dallas is part of the fun yet... http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/issues-insights-blog/uncarrier-8-blog.htm
T-Mobile holds 700mhz spectrum throughout much of the state, south-central, central, and northwestern. When they first launched 3G they covered the entire metro area, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and first, second, and third tier suburbs. So I doubt this is an issue of coverage, but rather accessibility. Especially since I'm constantly traveling throughout the metro and well beyond into greater Minnesota.
So my question remains, is there anyone with a Nexus 6 in a 700mhz market that IS seeing service on band 12?
There are a bunch of people on the Note 4 picking up band 12 in Dallas. (see reddit and howardforums)
If that's true then have you heard of any Nexus users in the area picking up band 12?
Nope
This is killing me. It's the biggest reason I bought an N6 vs the OnePlus.
I put a post up on /r/tmobile (can't link) asking if anyone has seen band 12, nothing yet.

According to T-Mobile the only devices on THAT list currently supported on band 12 are the Samsung phones, I think one or both of those Samsung tablets and the ZTE hotspot, not the phone. That from a support rep with T-Mobile.
But since I have a directly purchased nexus rather than a carrier bought one I assumed it would be free of carrier imposed restrictions. I explained this to a tech support rep on the phone and he said a future software update would enable the band on some phones. Which again left me a little confused because the phone came from Motorola.com and I thought it was Google who pushes the updates... Not the carrier. I know in the case of most phones that run even light carrier customizations it's generally the carrier who pushes the updates once they've been tailored to the carrier's needs and specs.
I know T-Mobile boasts that their Nexus devices are unlocked and unbranded, but I had a Nexus 5 bought from Google while a friend had one that came from T-Mobile. Both phones running the same version of Android with the same build number, kernel number, baseband, etc. The one thing that seemed to set them apart is he couldn't successfully use his hotspot service on his phone, while I am able to without limits or restrictions. So I'm not sure how they pulled that off. On the carrier side or software side. If it's carrier side then how come I wasn't met with the same restrictions. If it's software, then how did our phone have all the same version numbers. And I wonder how that same question applies to the Nexus 6 and band 12.
T-mobile site says software update coming early 2015 to support band 12. Can't link it but it's under coverage.
How are you folks checking to see what band you are on? They recently upgrading my area to 4G after years of Edge that didn't really do data and I'm curious if its band 12 since my wifes HTC One (M7) doesn't seem to pick up the signal.
I use two apps; 'LTE Discovery' & 'SignalCheck Pro'.
SignalCheck Pro is nice because it gives me a constant visual on my network connection via the status bar and the lock-screen

Right?! Some rumors have been saying a big update was coming for the N6 in February, so...
Also this still doesn't answer the question of whether the updates mentioned by T-Mobile will be applied to T-Mobile purchased Nexus devices or all Nexus 6's
I would assume it's part of an update rolling out to all 6's

Maybe it's if you have a T-Mobile sim in your phone. If it goes out that way then it shouldn't matter where you got the phone from. It would know that the phone is on their network with the sim and maybe push the update to you.
Just guessing.

Because the htc one m7 doesn't have the capability to work with band 12, even if it was enabled in software. It works on band 17 though (which is the upper part of that 700 mhz block).

I say take it... it is by far one of the best devices I've ever had. It's no longer on the top of my list but I still own one and can't seem to shake off the love for this phone.
Get him to turn it on and make sure it boots up. Thats all you need to do really. If he has only had it for a week it may be an SLCD device and there is only one kernel supporting that at the moment.
I'd do it if it was me.
OMG, with the formatting.
PASS on the N1 at $400+. I'd pay $350 for it though.
For heavy games GPU wise, i'd say nexus one isnt the way to go, well for the time being that is. But thats my opinion.
i've opened a thread for porting / improving GPU drivers for our devices and who knows what gingerbread will provide for our devices
We have no clue how well our devices can perform but its always getting better.
I'd say Galaxy S should be more appropriate as it has a great GPU and massive internal storage.
I've started seeing plenty of Nexus Ones for $350 now, so $400 seems much, but this is only used for 1 week so you decide for yourself.
As for what to know, make sure you get the version you need for 3G-support. Doesn't sound like you're in the U.S. though.
yes i am not in USA
but the n1 have dual-band 3G support
right ?

No. Dual-band GSM support, not 3G. It works with both AT&T and T-Mobile's network on Edge, but for 3G, it depends on which model you get.

The POINT is, there are TWO versions of Nexus One in the U.S., one for AT&T 3G, and one for T-Mobile 3G. I don't know where are you from and how the network there works, but that's how it is in the U.S. You mentioned the price in U.S. dollars, so you might be buying one of the two. You need to know not all U.S. Nexus Ones are the same.
he said that it is unlocked
Unlocked doesn't have to do with what the hardware supports. Ask him if it's the AT&T or T-Mobile version. Then look at those frequencies and figure out if they work in your area, on your carrier.
Read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_One
"France
On May 18, 2010 the Nexus One was made available for purchase through the SFR web portal."
"The original Nexus One also came along with UMTS frequency bands 1 (2100 MHz), 4 (1700 MHz), and 8 (900 MHz).[56], allowing it to access 3G throughout Europe, as well as on T-Mobile USA and WIND Mobile in Canada. The second version of the Nexus One supports UMTS frequency bands 1 (2100 MHz), 2 (1900 MHz), and 5 (850 MHz), allowing it to access 3G in most of Europe, as well as on AT&T Mobility in the USA and Rogers Wireless, Fido Solutions, Bell Mobility, and Telus Mobility in Canada. The second version of the Nexus One also works on Telecom New Zealand's XT Mobile Network and Telcel's 3G Network."

Pretty good article explaining why lte on a Nexus 4 doesn't make any sense for any potential whiners out there
Google wants direct control of the software on Nexus devices with no carrier intervention. That alone means Google can't sell an LTE device, as there's simply no access to LTE networks without working with carriers in one way or another: Verizon and Sprint's LTE networks still require compatibility with their 3G CDMA systems, and there's essentially no such thing as an unlocked CDMA device. AT&T's fledgling LTE network runs on different frequencies than other LTE networks around the world, so Google would have to build a custom phone for just 77 markets in the US. Doing that without AT&T's financial assistance makes little sense.

Also it explains it pretty well why they didn't make the same mistake by going CDMA like they did on the Galaxy Nexus.
And there's precious little to suggest working with carriers is even in Google's best interests, or in the best interests of Nexus customers. The Galaxy Nexus was announced last year with a promised LTE version on Verizon, but the carrier held back releasing the phone for months to promote its own Droid RAZR instead. Google eventually grew tired of waiting and sent unlocked HSPA+ devices to reviewers. And software updates for Nexus phones sold through carriers have been problematic as well: it took the Verizon three full months to disseminate the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update to its Galaxy Nexus, slightly longer than Sprint.

All accurate, a good summary.
With its pricing of the Nexus 4 and lack of LTE, Google is quite clearly giving US carriers the finger. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if a CDMA/LTE version appeared for Verizon and Sprint, but LTE doesn't really matter that much if you get decent 3G/3.5G/HSPA+ whatever you want to call it (i.e., not Verizon or Sprint 3G).
Really, anything over a few Mbps is enough for me...but I know other people use their phones differently.
In the UK, Three has just launched the UK's first VoLTE service on their newly launched 800MHz spectrum. Officially, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is the only device that will work on it at the moment, they plan to support more devices, but the Nexus 6 isn't in the list so far.
A few people on the Digitalspy forums have been able to access 800MHz on other devices, one person on a stock Nexus 6 with the latest OTA, and another person on a Moto X 2014. I have a Nexus 6 running the M preview 3 and I haven't been able to get any 800MHz even though it's broadcasting in my area.
Does anyone know if there are any methods of accessing the 800MHz coverage, even if VoLTE doesn't work?

Where you at in UK. I have family in Birmingham. Your N6 should have band activated. It going to be up to your carrier. If someone already accessed it on stock 5.1.1 I would flash back to see if it works. I'm not a Guinea Pig. I'm a nurse and need phone to be reliable. Thus I don't run preview builds. Only those that give feedback to Google and can deal with broke **** should even flash M. Cheers Mate.

800Mhz is LTE band 20.
If you have an XT1100 (the international model) then band 20 should work just fine.
The American model XT1103 doesn't have band 20 as far as I know.
I'm running M preview 3 and it runs like a dream, no issues what so ever, and battery standby is excellent, paired up with some kernel tweaks and low brightness I'm getting at least 5hrs screen on time daily, so I'm very happy with that.
I do have the XT1100, and yes it supports Band 20. Band 20 works on the other carriers that are broadcasting it as their main LTE band (O2 UK & Vodafone), but Three UK uses Band 3 as their primary spectrum, they only just launched Band 20+VoLTE but do not support the Nexus 6 officially. The people who have been able to connect to it say that it works but VoLTE does not work, unless you are using an officially support Galaxy S5.
I might try flashing a stock rom on my N6 and see if it makes a difference.
Did this work in the end?

From the looks of it we'll get we'll get data on 800Mhz but not VoLTE oddly, I've asked why Three aren't using Advanced Calling by default.
I too am trying to access the VoLTE on my Nexus 6 using Three in the UK (South London). Does anyone have any updates or can advise how to enable this service?
Many Thanks
PLEASE only respond if you live in the US and use T-Mobile (preferred) or AT&T AND have purchased the US version of the XP.................
Not sure if the US Xperia X Performance has been made available yet, but if so, can anyone tell me if it can get VoLTE on either T-Mobile or AT&T? Just wonder if radio/signal-wise it's any different than the int'l XP I have now.
Thanks!

Same model #s: F8132 for dual SIM (mine), F8131 for single-SIM.
they're the exact same radio according to Sony. so hardware wise if intl can do it so can us version. but do the carriers allow it is a whole other issue.

Ok thanks for checking acme! Well the XP has all the same bands as T-Mobile, so they should! Though I found out that XPs used in other countries like Hong Kong DO get VoLTE (I've seen screenshots too), but in the US, both AT&T and T-Mobile SIM cards don't enable that. Weird! I'd still like someone WITH a US XP to confirm that they do or don't have VoLTE though on AT&T and/or T-Mobile.
Yeah like today I was in downtown Chicago with family, and like my parents have the Sony Xperia Z1s (locked phone from T-Mobile). We were down by Navy Pier (by Lake Michigan), and my dad's Z1s (released Jan 2014) was getting better reception than my brand new int'l XP (unlocked not through T-Mobile but from Sony b/c Sony are idiots who don't release phones through carriers anymore and I hate them for it lol).
Now, I thought this was maybe b/c their phones were from T-Mobile so they'd been "configured" to their network, but then my sister's b/f was saying that some of the older model phones have better radio reception than the newer ones b/c the newer ones have more crap CRAMMED into them, which can impede radio reception, despite the XP having a polycarbonate (aka plastic lol) frame which is supposed give you better reception than metal would.
You think that's it? Or do you think it has something to do with the XP not being "configured" by T-Mobile??
Thanks.

i'd bet money it has something to do with a configuration. If Sony already designed a phone where all the radios work why would they break it in later iterations, doesn't make sense. it's also illegal to say the phone can do this and that when it actually can't.

Ok then how do I reconfigure it? lol If it was that the radio was just better/stronger on the Z1s that's one thing, but if it was that my XP somehow wasn't configured "well enough" to T-Mobile's network, despite having all the same bands, then how do I fix that? lol
It could be that the phones are designed a certain way but then the carriers (when they get them to sell) do some extra configuring or tweaking too?
I remember being again in another part of downtown 2 years ago and 2 friends of mine who both had Sprint and the same phone (Galaxy S3) had differing reception. One had all 5 bars lit up, while the other who was only sitting 5 feet away, had like no reception.

Yeah I know. All I REALLY care about is that I can get Band 12 for data from T-Mobile on my int'l Sony Xperia X Performance phone. I think I can, b/c that has NOTHING to do with VoLTE, which only is used DURING phone calls. I don't care about having Band 12 during phone calls, but I DO care about having it when not on a call.

Well I live in Chicago which right now doesn't have Band 12 from T-Mobile. HOWEVER, a few mos ago T-Mobile bought a ton of Band 12 from an AT&T subsidiary, and so now it's only a matter of time before my entire area gets it (pending FCC approval). They say it could be as early as later this year or latest is prob next June. I'll know when it's available b/c T-Mobile will announce but I can also check their spectrum map too. When the area covered by the green circle around Chicago becomes "magenta" and has a bunch of circled 12s put into it, then that'll mean it's live. Can't wait!!

I just wanna be able to get reception (data) in certain areas in downtown like at the Ogilvie Metra Station basement, Untitled club on Kinzie, etc. I'm hoping that Band 12/700 MHz will make that happen. But also for when I'm indoors in certain places in the suburbs.
Thanks for sharing this great info!! I figured it would but wasn't sure. I think the ppl who said no were thinking of VoLTE, or aka having 4G LTE data and/or voice DURING calls.

I couldn't agree more. It's ****ing BS. It's the least they could do after not giving the US Z5 and X Perf a working fingerprint sensor. lol
So I'm just reaching out to see if anyone else has had any weird issues like I am using Verizon on the OP 6T.
When the phone has full control over band steering it appears to hug on band 13 for its primary band even when band 4 has plenty of SNR (20 plus DB)
I know the cell config's in my area allow for dual band 4/66 primary 20MHz + 10 MHz and 1 Band 13 10MHz 3CA on most cell sites (confirmed on the cell site on testing on with a Pixel 3 XL).
I've also forced band 4 by disabling band 2 and 13 (the low bands) and it work's great!
It hinders upload performance by a decent bit, usually the cell config's only allow single channel uploads no 2CA around here so if it picks 13 for the primary I'm usually only getting about 15 Mbps up vs 50 ish on band 4.
Possible modem firmware bug?
I really don't understand what are you talking about xD
For sure about something wrong with Verizon signal in mid range (that is all I got).
I have the OP6T on Verizon in CA. Tell me what is that app and I can give you my results. So we can be sure that is not a problem with the phone (probably)

I have no issues with my OP6T on Verizon. I got it day one and once I got the CDMAless thing straight, It works very well. I get a better signal at my house than I have with any Verizon phone before it. Mine seems to stick to Band 4 wherever it is available.
I have no issue with Verizon where I live. I never even had to call in to enable CDMA_Less. My phone hangs around LTE Band 13 and XLTE 4 most of the time. I live in a central city and there is good service anywhere so that may not be the case with you.
What app is That and how can we help test our area?
Edit, it is called Network Signal Guru in the app store, not sure what to make of it.
I use Network Info Lite in the past. But this is all above my head and knowledge what TS is talking about..haha

It is check box on your account that when the 6T launched you had to call and get a Verizon tech to do on your account. At first the Verizon system was not recognizing the devices correctly. Without them changing that you could not get MMS messages. I assume that is not needed anymore.

IDK, I had to call them, because my texts wouldn't work. Came from a Pixel and Essential phone with my Sim. Put it in the 6T 2 months ago, phone worked, calls, but not text. Called VZW, the person with support handled it immediately, powered the phone...all good after that. So not sure if people still need to call, but doesn't hurt. They are eventually moving to all CDMAless from what I understand in the future?!?!
