Nexus 6 5.1 update for T-Mobile - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When the links were first published for 5.1, I flashed and installed the update through fast-boot and I am currently on 5.1 successfully. I have a t-mobile sim and I purchased this device from them. Today, they are pushing the 5.1 update which is the same as what I already have, but in addition, they are adding VolLTE. Now Im not sure if I already have that due to previously flashing it, or am I supposed to re-flash the T-Mobile variant of 5.1. Anyone have any input?

volte is voice over lte, making and receiving calls on lte. do you have volte?

when you make a phone call, does the phone stay on lte or does it change to H or 3G during the call?

Never-mind, I looked around and apparently the build number for the nexus 6 t mobile carrier is different (LMY47M). And Yes, its LTE. So i guess I just have to wait till the new factory images are posted to Google and then eventually side-load the update.

[Q] Problems with my unlocked Bell HD7 (t9295) on AT&T

If you don't already know, the unlocked Bell HD7's 3G bands are the needed bands required for AT&T (850,1900). I received my unlocked Bell HD7 from Negri Electronics today and I was super excited to get it going on AT&T here in The States but ran into a very weird problem...
Basically, I can't connect to 3G/HSDPA/EDGE internet. Now, the weird thing is that it SHOWS I'm using AT&T and that indeed I am on HSDPA (see pics below). Calling and messaging work fine BTW. If I want to do anything requiring data, the 3G/HSDPA/EDGE connection won't work and I'm forced to use wifi.
I'm tired of hard-reseting and flipping switches on and off... I just hard-reset the bastard one last time and now I wait for your advise. What do I do? Thanks in advance

Since it runs on the Bell firmware you must enable the data roaming. In the first pic that you posted it looks like you have it off. Give it a try and report.

can you post the "More Info" result ???
try downloading "connection setup" from the marketplace in the htc apps section, run it and you should be good to go.

Seems silly, but did you actually setup your APNs?
Not sure I saw that in the pics.
Good Luck,

Data issues with Lollipop on Moto X 2014

I recently updated my Moto X 2014 to Lillipop and am running into a few snags that i didnt have with 4.4.4 Kit Kat. (Verizon)
I recently realized that while on a phone call, i can no longer look up something on the internet or send anything data related while on a phone call. I realized this when i was talking to a buddy on the phone and need to look something up for him and discovered that i couldnt use data during calls.
I was thinking about it, and when i was on 4.4.4 kit kat, i had no issues using data during a phone call, but with the update to lollipop, that feature seemed to have gone away.
Is this something verizon is doing with the coming of their VoLTE Advanced Calling update, or is there an issue with my phone? I never had this issue before with the 2013 Moto X.
Thanks
Yes, it is because of Advanced Calling. You can still use wifi while you're in a call, but you cannot use cellular data while in a call. Supposedly (hopefully), we will get Advanced Calling on the next update in February (cross your fingers).

I would like to revive this older post. I've been on lollipop since last year.. Xt1096 so no root... Within the past 2 weeks when the screen is off and a phone call comes in I get this toast every time. If the screen is on is doesn't appear. It's driving me nuts. Any ideas?

VoLTE update

I have an unlocked Phone running on VZW. Should I expect that at some point I will get VoLTE.....or should I just return it while I can and get a VZW version?

Running stock 5.1 now on motorola-purchased phone. My VZW account is provisioned for "advanced calling" but not seeing it function on the phone at this point. I know my Droid Turbo was pushed a VZW update when VoLTE was available. I assume that is not supposed to be the process on a N6.

Try following the instructions in these threads. I have it currently working on 5.1

http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/verizon-volte-problem-solution-t3052877
Also the VoLTE feature only works for Verizon to Verizon calling and with other phones that have the feature. The best part of the update is the simultaneous Voice/Data capabilities.

[Q] Android 5.1 OTA on Verizon

I have a Nexus 6 that I purchased directly from Motorola and have running on Verizon's network. I have not yet received the Android 5.1 OTA update. Shouldn't I have received it by now? If not, when should I expect it?
No offense intended, but let's answer this question - What version of android SHIPS on Verizon issued Nexus 6's ?
They have no need of an OTA. It comes with LMY47E installed. (if you want a higher build, or 5.1 in general, see below)
You'll have to flash a 5.1 image for it.
Alternatively, you could also try the no SIM installed boot up after a factory reset and see if it gets it from Google.
Probably Never
For some background see the following post. You will be very interested in the Android Police article.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/ota-requires-carrier-approval-t3067283
Hope this helps ....
Unless you want to do the get on wifi and pull the SIM card dance (after you factory flash) you might want to read up on doing it manually yourself.
I recommend using the Nexus toolkit to retain your user data and moving to any version Google has available.
I suppose it couldn't hurt to pull the Verizon SIM, get on wifi, reboot your phone and see what happens.

I'm wondering which version of 5.1 I should be grabbing. I think I'm going to do the side-load instead of pulling my SIM to get it to update to build D. Will build D have the HD voice feature?
What do you guys recommend?
The only thing that's important is the 98R baseband radio I believe that comes with D and E. once you have that you can flip to any system version after D you would like. I am currently running version i on Benzo and HD voice works fine.

Can't enable Chat in Google Messages

I am trying 'Chat' features in the Google Messages application, however I can't seem to do so. I see the option under Settings->Advanced, however, when I press on it, the app remains on 'Excuse the wait...'
I tried this multiple times and even a factory reset of the phone. Did anyone else have problems enabling RCS?
I am on Vodafone Romania.

I have the same problem. I'm on pixel XL 2 Rogers Canada.
Sorry to bump/necro, but any updates on this? Or does anyone know of a ROM that works with RCS?

Messages has had RCS support for ages. Your Carrier needs to enable it on their service though.

I guess my question is if I'm on a custom ROM will it still work? I assume TMobile can't push the universal protocol through on a custom ROM.

As far as i know it's all server side. Have you checked with your carrier to see if they support it?

I know they have started rolling it out, but I'm reading mixed things about what phones support it. Due for an upgrade soon anyway, but was hoping to test it out.
