Force band selection - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can the nexus 6 force LTE bands like Samsung?
It loves band 4 but here in Fresno band 2 penetrates better and offers better speed....

I am wondering the same thing. I wonder if you can disable Band 4 using this technique by writing to non-volatile memory and disabling band 4?

I want to disable Band 13 where I live.

I don't want to disable merely pick.....I guess we need Samsung for that

I do miss this from my old S2 days (never worked on a Nexus 4,5, or 6 since then that I've had), but I get by. Small price to pay for nexus

Sprint will offer an exclusive unlimited plan for iphone 5

Don't know why this surprises anyone.
Sprint has to offer something different to stay relevant.
Lost
I thought the Iphone 5 got lost and that caused delays in things?
Oh great. You can bet our data will either be limited later or worse off than it is now in terms of speed (and it's already horrible) when this stupid POS is released.
Don't all of Sprint's smartphones come with unlimited data plans? Nothing really new here except the phone.
Hopefully their network upgrades are in place soon enough to help pick up the slack...

Yeah, my understanding is they are going to be launching 8 markets by the end of the year with Network Vision.
But obviously the whole network is going to take until 2013 or so.

Meh, it'll take like 2-3 years for t mo lte to actually be good, so we'll probably all have new phones by then. But atm hspa is plenty fast IMO.

I live by a 1900 MHz tower I should see if it works.
Can't wait! I knew all along that the LTE was working. They just didn't want to get in trouble with FCC but now they are tho! Lol

What radio are you using? The .33 or the .27? That's damn impressive. All I've gotten in Salt Lake City is 10mb/s, max. Running the .33 radio.
.33 Tried other radios unable to get those speeds with the other radios . At least 30 meg short with other radios.

Is there a way to tell which phase you're currently in? Like just regular LTE or the LTE-A?

Nexus 4 hardware update incoming?

Yesterday, GSMarena posted that the N4 will be updated with LTE and a storage bump as well. 16GB and 32GB for 300$ and 350$ respectively.
According to the leaked manual of the N5 the 32GB was said to cost 450$. According to GSMarena the N5 will cost 399$ and 450$ respectively.
IF THAT IS TRUE, who's upgrading?
The N4 16GB costs 400$ in my country as it is.
P.S: I'll buy the N4 because of budget constraints, will be my second Nexus phone, after the Nexus S.

I'm waiting next year for the price cut like they did with the Nexus 4. I could buy it now, but it wouldn't be cost-effective.
That would be ****ty for Google to release an LTE version of the Nexus 4 this late in the game.. Anyone who is anyone knows the N4 is already LTE capable... To charge for a legit version is just a **** move
Sent from my Nexus 10
Don't think I can believe this rumor, don't know why Google would do this, They had 4 7 10, now if tis 4 5 7 10 it would just confuses buyers, and the screen size isn't much of a difference anyway. Also Google always had just 1 Nexus device a year, why two all the sudden?
I'd still get the N5 because it have the hardware for hand free Google Now voice interaction like the MotoX, which the N4 don't.
We already knew what happen with some of the previous false rumor like project road runner and theming engine. Just taking a quick glance at AndroidGeeks is already enough to tell me they are putting this up for more viewership than journalistic integrity.
First rumors were $299/$399 for 16gb/32gb.. now $399/$450...
THESE are all rumors... Dont believe it until you hear word from Google themselves...

the LTE capable is only 1 band... if google releases a refresh N4 with all bands of LTE, then it wouldnt be that bad, dependent on pricing of course...
Suppose it does come with all lte bands. I mean with Verizon and sprint you'd still need cdma for calls and I guess that leaves you with tmobile or AT&T still with a lte n4

i hope that's true. if they release a 16gb lte capable n4 ihope i can flash it to my og n4! then i won't have to worry about enabling lte every time i flash a rom update

it's only a d**k move if they release it with official band 4 aws only. then all it would mean is they pulled it and had a fire sale because they got fcc approval on the exact same existing hardware setup
If there was a Nexus 4 "LTE" coming, it would have had to hit the FCC. I have not heard anything about that one. I will be getting the Nexus 5 no matter what happens. Just hard to believe so many rumors and believers of the nexus 4 "LTE" where there's no leaks or FCC filings known.

FCC is closed. Bluetooth certification for a LTE Nexus 4 appeared recently. Its going to be a reality now I guess.

If this is the case it will suck for us who want to sell our current N4 to get an N5 unless the LTE N4 is not sold at such a bargain price.
If there is n4 lte I might just get one

Reports are saying its the same model number as the current n4, so it will most likely be a software and radio update to current owners,

Exactly. There's no chance a new N4 is being released, it's just going to be a patch for the current radios.

You had this closed once. I for one will keep my Nexus 4 even though I could get one,4+ or5. There is plenty of life in the nexus 4.im happy with it as is as I get hsdpa + speeds of 15mb/s +.
I'm not insecure enough to need the latest version for no reason at all.

[Q] Sprint Nexus 6 and Data and Voice at same time

All,
on my Note 3 I can talk and use data at the same time. I thought I had read somewhere that the Nexus 6 would do the same. But it seems that it will not.
I am wrong?
Thanks Dave
I am on AT&T and I have used DAT and a phone call at the same time. This has more to do with your carrier and not the actual device.

Oems have made all phones that are sprint spark capable with only one pathway from modem. ..last phone on sprint that can do svlte is note 3 ...vzw is the same
Unfortunately it doesn't work on this phone =/

The Nexus 6 will not do simultaneous voice and data on Sprint or Verizon. (Although on Verizon it should be possible in some areas when VoLTE starts rolling out, not 100% sure with Sprint.)
Same with sprint they are rolling out volte sometime 2015+
Thanks for the response.

That's why T-Mobile is winning more customers and Sprint is sending techs to your house to help you set up your phone. Priorities. ???
