it was last updated in aug of 2013.. do you think it supports the nexus 6, or even android 5.1?

Why not disable Wi-Fi? I know my LTE is way faster then the Wi-Fi networks I connect to.

The idea is you get LTE speed+ WiFi speed, combined.. Increasing your speed.

i dont want to disable 3g network, just want to switch to umts data or hsdpa data as per requirement.. it helps massively saving battery ...
in my case i used the software named "hidden features free sammy edtn" on stock 2.2.1 and switched to release 99(WCDMA DATA ONLY & 3.5G off) then i installed cm7.2, since then im on wcdma data and i cannot switch to hsdpa data... so i need an option to change 3g data DEVELOPERS HELP
I don't know how this will help.
*#*#4636#*#*
In phone info u can choose the preferred network.
Heard gsm auto prl saves battery.

HSDPA is nothing simply some improved version of 3G or similar network... If you don't use mobile data packet, i.e. 3G/2G or any means of connection via sim card then HSDPA is already disabled.

yagya ill explain what im trying to say:
1: if i type *#301279# (HSDPA/HSUPA Control Menu) on stock rom i can disable hsdpa and 3g radio works as R99 mode (UMTS data only, hsdpa off, 3.0G)
2: i try to do the same on cm 7.2, nothing happens,, i dont get a menu
3: i tried appending ro.ril.hsxpa=0 to system.prop in /system using root explorer,,, after many restarts it doesnt work either,,,
u see the problem here is im subscribed to tata docomo 3g network here in india, the 3g data plans are sky high and very much unaffordable.. so im in 2g data plan : luckily my operator allows me to use 3g network but with speed limited to 18kBps because of 2g plan subscription..... so all the time using 3.5G with hsdpa for just 18kBps is useless + its a battery eater even for just chatting !
use the. notification power widget function. it's in cyanogenmod setting.
there's a toggle to change 2G or 3G network.

u see, 3g network mode always does not always imply hsdpa mode to be used.. i want to configure the 3g radio to use only umts packet data(3.0G) and to switch off hsdpa(3.5G) packet data service WHILE USING 3G network all the time... a stock rom can do it, why can't cyanogenmod???
>> an app in android market named "hidden features free sammy edtn" was successfull in enabling/disabling hsdpa in stock rom but it does not work on cm 7.2rc3 !!!

forcing H or 3G connection ?...

is there a trick to force the phone to get an hi-speed connection ,instead of E ?
Of course,where the hi-speed connection is present...
The problem is that there are too much cellphones or wireless pc connected on ...
and is very difficult in same places to get good connection continuously...
I am from Italy TIM..
Regards...tnx
hmm.. i too face that issue sometimes when range is low. but mine keep changing between E, H+ and 3G. What is H+? is it faster than 3g or slower?
do not know ,but for me H and 3g are very good web connection
"E" connection is terrible...i remember 56k modem....
Goes like this, high to low
LTE>H+>H>3G>E

In general, your device should be connecting at the highest possible speed. If you are getting Edge, it's probably because your phone can't pick up a 3G signal.

This should work if the area does have a connection higher than 3G, I found this out when I was testing the pre-paid mobile internet connection from my provider and oddly enough it almost always prefer to connect to 3G till I forced WCDMA only and it connects to H just fine getting only about 260kb/s though.

[Q] How to get "real" 3G speed?

Hi guys!
I just got my contract with mobile internet in it.
Each month, I get 1GB of data and it's awesome!
But I have some questions/problems with it.
When I connect to the 3G network, I sometimes have an E-connection.
It's pretty slow, but I found out this is some kind of 2G netwerk (called Edge).
Mostly I get an H-connection (HSPA(+)) I think and that speed is fine.
But sometimes it changes from a fraction of a second to a 3G-connection.
I think that is what I really need, but how can I "force" it to always go to 3G?
My carrier supports Dual carrier 3G, so that "should" double my 3G speed.
It would be awesome if you could help/inform me!

H (HSDPA or HSPA) is faster than 3G is faster than 2G.
I also get switching from 3G to H a lot at home were signal is not good.

[Q] Verizon Network Extender Issues

Anyone else with a Nexus 6 on Verizon using a network extender? It works fine for voice. However, I cannot get a data connection through the extender. I assume its an APN issue. All other Verizon phones are getting data fine through the extender.
Ideas?
Thanks!
I don't think mine is connecting at all to the extender at work. There is no icon change.
It works for voice. I get the beeping before a call. But it is not utilizing the extender for data. Its killing me because I'm in a fringe area for coverage and its killing my battery.
I'm running cm12 and whenever I connect to a network extender I loose LTE after I connect back to the network directly. I have to backup, flash stock ROM, let the phone activate then restore my twrp backup. Major PITA...
Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but has anyone found any resolutions to this issue?
I'm right at the edge of 3 towers, without my extender, I can barely text... Don't get me started on MMS... I will often miss calls also.
According to the Network Signal Info app, I'm always connected to the extender, but I get very weak signal. I rarely get 3G, if I do, it's even more rare for me to get data despite it showing 3G.
Usually it's 1x that eventually connects where I get data.
Sure, I can use WiFi, but text and especially MMS are issues. Who knows if I'm missing calls also...
Hopefully the Verizon firmware/radio files will work better when Verizon eventually releases it?
Try setting your phone to 3g instead of lte. Should jump on the extender for data. On mine it won't switch automatically.

I did try that a few times, I haven't went too in depth with that. But if I recall correctly, changing that setting just left a "!" in the signal bars, no data. How's your signal strength on the extender?
It's half way up the triangle. Orange on the signal strength under battery. But it works.

That doesn't work for me. 3G is HSPA on the N6, not EvDo like the extender requires. My workaround is connecting at home via wifi, then switching data to 1X. That solves calling, data, and SMS/MMS issues.
From what I've read in other posts regarding Verizon extenders, they are only for basic text and calls, NOT Data. Call Verizon support to confirm if you want a definite answer though.

Not true. It does data fine at both 1x and EvDo 3g. As I said, problem is, the N6 doesn't appear to work with 3g EvDo data.

Correct. I've had my extender since 2011. Without data, MMS as well as certain other Verizon features would not function.
EV-DO working now!

I just flashed the Android 5.1 radio on my 5.0.2 ROM running Chroma.
I can confirm that EV-DO Rev. A works now on the Verizon Network Extender.
When I have the network mode set to Global or LTE it keeps falling off 3G. I've set the network mode to 3G and it has stuck for a solid 30 minutes now.
Hopefully the stock 5.1 ROM will fix the 3G issue in LTE or Global modes, so it doesn't try to connect to the weak outside signals. But at least we get EV-DO now instead of just 1x!

Bought my N6 from Motorola around February.
Dialing #48 tells me I'm under network extender coverage.

hmm, thanks, no 3G option in my preferred network types on the stock rom.
I wonder if the network extenders actually validate the IMEI and that's why its not working. It worked on my old XT926.
I also have been fighting with this since getting my Nexus 6 last week...they say dial *48 and it will tell you if you are under extender coverage...which I am, yet a tier 4 tech tries to call me and it goes direct to vm.
I have changed units...still same....frustrated as heck.
I'm confused. If you have a network extender, you have Wi-Fi within the same range as the network extender. Why would you want to use 3G for data instead of Wi-Fi? Even the slowest Wi-Fi would be better than 3G data.

T-Mobile. Let the device sit overnight and it got LTE back. So it seems either the LTE radio in this device is terrible compared to my Note 3, or it just won't attempt to get back onto LTE all that often. Or my Devices LTE radio is messed up.

Telus Canada. XT1103.
Mine would stay on H+ after a call for a long time. I sometimes "force" it to connect to LTE by toggling cellular data and off in settings. Or a reboot.
Have tried the *#*#4636#*#* menu to change to "LTE only", but won't even connect to LTE in this case.
This feels like a software issue. Clearly it's not a network or hardware issue, since it can connect to LTE.

if its not connecting to lte when you set it to lte only, then you either dont have lte around when you set it or its an extremely weak signal.

Unfortunately, it depends a lot on where you are. The office building that I am in is very bad for LTE, signal at my desk is -100dbm, if I go outside it switches up to around -60 to -70dbm. If I choose 3G as the preferred network, sitting in exactly the same location the signal goes to -75dbm 19 au. If I am at my apartment, the LTE signal is much stronger there. This of course effects the battery life also. I am not sure if there is a way to default which LTE band is used since I think Telus only uses band 4 for LTE but I am not familiar with how the phone determines which band to use or if it keeps scanning all of them.

No, where I was testing it, LTE was strong. I also had a Nexus 5 right beside it, and it had no problem acquiring a full signal.
With the Nexus 6, after a reboot or the data toggle, it acquired LTE, again almost full signal.
So I decided to just leave it alone and use it as normal without worrying about LTE or H+. I did not toggle data or reboot, just leave it as is. I just observe. After a few days, it seems better in that it will be connect to LTE a short while after a call, and behaves like how I expected it to like on the Nexus 5.
Of course, immediately after a call, it will stay on H+. If I really wanted LTE right then, I just toggle the data on/off from settings (not by setting to "LTE only" in *#*#4636#*#* menu).
