Hi,
I have a t-mobile nexus 6. I sideloaded LMY47D and have one issue where the network drops especially when switching between towers (while driving) needs a restart to fix this issue.
I see google released other versions LMY47E and LMY47I. Which of these is the correct version for t-mobile N6?
Also if need to E or I how can i go from D to E or I... Please help..
Thank you in advance
the tmo version is M btw. there's no M factory image btw. but any factory img will work, and either of the two new radios work. the M version comes with radio 95r.
Two questions have you checked to make sure that you have deleted all APNs except for tmobile? Second question would be how did you update your radio?

Know that you are having this issue but it is an ongoing problem with the Nexus phone line that is being researched.

it is not a nexus issue. i have a nexus 4, nexus 5, and nexus 6, and they experience no such problems. chances are that people are just having local connectivity issues.
This is not a local network issue. I have been having the same problem for about two weeks now. Swapped out sim cards, Got new phone, and tried a factory reset. None of which worked. Contacted T-Mobile and Google. Neither of them know what it could be and say they don't have a fix. I have since contacted Motorola and am working with them now to figure out what is going on. From other forums I have read, this is a problem happening with T-Mobile, sprint, and even some Verizon users. Also people are saying that it is not just happening on lollipop 5.1 but also 5.0

I have been experiencing the same thing in my area. Its pretty bizarre, T-Mobile says no issues in my area, but I go up north and I get great reception on the same phone...Phoenix LTE on 5.1 on this phone sucks, the Nexus 5 was much better :/
Just drove from KC to Chicago. Happened in some locals but not others.

This is not a modded build, its google factory image, Do i still need to update/delete the apn's ?
Especially i never had this issue when on 5.0.x when i updated to 5.1 this issue started to happening. Please let me know.
My wife and i are both on t-mo, i have the n6 and she has an alcatel one touch fierce 2. Her phone always says 4G (unless it drops to 2G) In my house she's on 4G the whole time and mine is usually on H or H+... I have wondered why, we're on the same network and mine can't keep an LTE signal but hers can? I hope a fix is found soon... I have tried different ROM's/kernels/deleting APN's all have had the same result, which tells me maybe the radio needs tweaking or something?..

h/h+ is the absolutely same thing as 4G. 4G isnt a resl speed, its describing h/h+ mostly. the only difference is that her phone displays 4G, which is dumb, and your phone is displaying the true signal. 4G isnt lte, 4G is any speed faster than 3G, and h/h+ can be as fast if not faster than lte.
As far as i know H would be 3G, H+ would technically be 3.5G, and LTE would be true 4G. Anyway that's not my point, my point is that her phone's connection is consistent meaning searching the web, or certain apps always load the same. Mine is spiratic...

both H and H+ would be considered 3.5G, but for tmobile its called 4G. with H/H+, i see data speeds up to 41mbps, pretty much the same as most people see with lte as well. what you can do is compare your data speeds with your wives data speeds. on tmobile, tmobile phones will show 4G, and non tmobile phones will show an H, H+, or lte.
The only thing i've ever checked network speed with is speedtest.net app, just ran a test while on LTE and i only got 11mbps download and 2mbps upload...

while thats not some great lte speed, it is normal. in big cities, tmo has a bit more advanced lte out. in smaller cities, thats the normal lte speed. for example, someone started a thread in the general section about cincinati tmo data speeds, saying that tmo just started putting up faster lte speeds there. im in nyc, and see data speeds any where from 10mbps download to 65mbps download speeds, but nyc is also tmo largest market. btw, where are you located? oh, data speeds will also vary depending jow busy the towers are. in the daytime, lte speeds will be a lot slower than at 3am for example.
Just ran the test on H+, 2mbps download and 0.3mbps upload..

i just looked up ontario, california.. you live near Angeles National Forest? tmobile services are probably a bit weaker around there. it wouls be intetesting to take speed tests with both devices in the same place, at the same time actually.
So i did a test on both of our phones at my house, and they were similar. Haven't done one when i'm on LTE to see if she matches mine, but what's weird is i use to get LTE in my house for the most part, but now i don't at all.. Does someone have the link for the newest radio?

Not much going on in GT-i9305 section so let see what this phone can really do...
All kinds of Speed Tests, Benchmarks and Battery Stats are welcome
Network: 3G or 4G???
Just wondering how it goes on DC-HSPA+??? Here in UK, Three is fastest so far... I'm getting speeds 15-25Mbps DL / up to 4.5Mbps UL in many places!! Who need expensive LTE with crazy data capping (500MB - £36/pm) and speeds 10-20Mbps... Joke...
To check what kind of 3G connection you have while testing:
1: dial *#0011# (phone will go in to Service Mode)
2: press home button
3: open and run SpeedTest
4: press&hold home button and switch back to Service Mode...
5: on the bottom of screen look for "DC_HSPA+ : 1(enabled) 0(disabled)"
Battery:
Many people reported bad battery life but I'm very happy with it so I'll share some of my tricks how to get more juice....
My current set up: Pandoriam ROM v6.6, latest Perseus Kernel: no UV, no OC, no tweaks, Modem: BUALI6, Network: 3UK (DC-HSPA)
1. Custom ROM & kernel is recommended but NOT essential (most of them includes battery tweaks also they bloat free)
2. Install BBS and check what's drinking your juice... Some of apps are heavy drinkers (Facebook, Twitter etc....) so keep eye on battery after you install new app(s). Don't use Juice Defender, it makes things worse.
3. Disable Google Now & Locations (main juice drinker)
4. Install "Fast Dormancy Toggle" from Play Store and disable it. It safe to use. If you don't use 4g, change Network Mode to WCDMA only. BTW bad signal reception draining more juice as well.
5. Keep screen brightness on manual, as low as possible... obviously
6. Use inverted apps and dark wallpaper if possible, stay away from live wallpapers...
7. Only If you know what you doing, install app called" NoBloat Free" or any other similar app and disable/freeze unimportant processes draining your battery. (Exchange and Samsung Push Services are heavy drinkers)
8. AutoSync & NFC - OFF!!
9. Use Original Samsung 1A charger, don't use your laptop to charge phone....
10. Keep WiFi ON only if you need it. To make things easy, in Advanced WiFi settings, we have WiFi Timer. (can be used to keep it ON/OFF automatically, through the night for example)

No worries mate. Awesome speed!!! Here in UK You won't get even half of it on 4G!! That's why we're using DC HSPA+, it goes up to 20Mbps and you can have Unlimited data for £15.90 /pm!!!!!

Yea 4G in London is terrible, I know. I popped in to the EE store the other day to test out the speed. THEY DIDNT HAVE the speedtest.net app. I was like so how are we to test what 4G speeds we are getting? The assistant replied with a really condescending tone "I'm pretty sure such geeky app wont be needed for the average consumer". I replied, "So why do broadband suppliers advertise "Xmb broadband"? SO obviously people would want to know how fast their internet would be." fruking donut.
My mate was driving Through Auburn Sydney, And he got 75Mbps Down... I am based in Sydneys southwest On the edge of 4G & 3G+ coverage I average around 15mbps So
All I can Say is Telstra 4G kills it ay! haha Cant wait till they upgrade the coverage soon we may have all areas with this crazy speed

the problem with the H+ test is know one knows if they are on the high DC type H+ or the normal H+ it doesnt differentiate , so theres no point someone will post H+ when you think its DC it may be only plain old H+

ok and what am i supposed to be seeing there to know its on the higher H+ ? I can see the first line changing regulary RCC: DCH for about 4 seconds and then it went back to RCC: FACH for another 5seconds and I can now only see the 3G symbol and its sitting on RRC: UPCH I definately am not in a good area to test anyway so I guess ill play around when im out and about. Ill compare it with. But yeh like I said you can be in a middle of a test and it could of changed how would you know unless you have 2 screens one showing you exaclty what your on whilst your doing a speedtest

What is you Carrier? I´m on vodafone Portugal, they advirtise as being the only Carrier with 42Mbits DC HSPA but they seem to have that inconsistence with FACH and DCH as well. By the way, I looked it up, those are 2 types of HSPA+ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Resource_Control)

I've checked and look at screenshots. One is while downloading (Speed Test running in background) the second just connected (steady CPCH). On the bottom we have active connections... you can see 0 or 1 next to type of connection.
Now it's easy to check.

I am on Telstra Australia.. Well that makes sense As my phone was idle And i was staring at the screen. So I guess If i did a speedtest those mode will change.
But still It doesnt rectify the fact that while someone is doing a speedtest we do not know exactly what connection we are on as Carriers who offer DC also have Normal Hspa+ aswell and if in the wrong area it may switch modes while doing the test without even knowing
As that DC_HSPA will change to normal HSPA if you are not in the correct area, when I had that screen on i did not see DC_HSPA I only saw HSPA+
Edit : You see mine was changing from DC_HSPA to HSPA from one moment to another like I said you would have to be in a STRONG DC area to really test DC speeds

Hey guys, today I reflashed the 4.2.1 modem and to my pleasant surprise I was getting 4g LTE coverage, whereas I wasn't a few days ago on the same modem. Below are my APN settings and speedtest (good ping, others.... not so much.) I assume this has to do with the APN because on the epc.tmobile.com apn I get 20mbps down for HSPA+, but on the new APN i get less than 5. Hopefully they correct this soon.

Wow that's a great news then! The fact that you're on LTE/GSM/CDMA, and only IPv4 confirms that your market is just to be launched (26th).
For example, here in NYC in order for me to connect, I'd have to force v4/v6 and go LTE Only. Otherwise, in LTE/GSM my phone prefers HSPA, and with IPv4 I get bars, but no "4G" or any data flow.

Impossible, as you won't be able to connect at all. On samsung phones, you may be able to see the network and read RIL in ServiceMode, but you won't be getting "4G" or data, whatsoever.

Have you tried verifying that you're on actual LTE network by dailing *#*#4636#*#* and checking Phone information > Network type: ? instead of just basing on it ping and 4G icon?

By looking at that screenshot, your signal level is extremely poor. Try finding the actual cell site and then test. Also check out SignalCheck Pro app from Play store that shows you proper signal reading and can even notify you (audio/vibrate) when connected to LTE.
Here I also see about half of what I should be seeing on LTE, and it could be that T-Mobile is still adding Subcarriers, and re allocating the Resource Blocks. Once commercially live, that shouldn't be happening.

Correct, check the screenies, that's forcing LTE mode in Phone settings and Bearer LTE in APN settings. 4G icon will show for LTE coverage along with a lower ping time. hipri was copied over from my default APN settings.
I'll be testing in Chantilly, VA tonight once I figure out what I need to do to make LTE work.

So can you tell me step by step on how to make LTE start working please?
I just installed the latest EU ROM 7.1.5 and noticed that the phone doesn't connect to LTE and defaults to 3G or HSPA+ in areas with 4G signal.
LTE Prefered is already enabled in the settings so its definitely something to do with the ROM.
Has anybody experienced this with the latest dev rom or EU ROM.
Thinking of switching back to 6.12.29. Might stick to updating only in 2-3 weeks as ROMs are relatively stable.
EDIT: Confirmed that there is no LTE connectivity on 7.1.5. Switched back to 6.12 29
For those who need LTE, I would strongly recommend staying on EU 6.12.29 for now. Guess this applies to those on the Official Dev ROM too.
I'm connecting to 4G LTE w/no issues whatsoever on GlobeROM 7.1.5 (T-Mobile US) :

I just installed the latest EU ROM 7.1.5 and noticed that the phone doesn't connect to LTE and defaults to 3G or HSPA+ in areas with 4G signal.
LTE Prefered is already enabled in the settings so its definitely something to do with the ROM.
Has anybody experienced this with the latest dev rom or EU ROM.
Thinking of switching back to 6.12.29. Might stick to updating only in 2-3 weeks as ROMs are relatively stable.
EDIT: Confirmed that there is no LTE connectivity on 7.1.5. Switched back to 6.12 29
For those who need LTE, I would strongly recommend staying on EU 6.12.29 for now. Guess this applies to those on the Official Dev ROM too.

IDK if it makes any difference,but,I've been dirty-flashing either EU or GlobeROM for the past month or so & have never had LTE Connectivity issues.

I had tried everything except flashing the older modem on 7.1.5. Rebooting the phone would show 4G signal for a second and it would quickly fall back to 3G.
And now that I've reverted to 6.12. 29, phone can connect to 4G. This is why I was saying its something to do with 7.1.5.
Guess I'm too lazy to connect to a pc and fastboot the older modem. Maybe the Globe ROM that you're running already has the fix implemented. I doubt its the dirty flashing which has helped because even I have been doing the same. Guess the GlobeROM devs noticed the bug and has patched their file with the older modem.
Anyway 6.12 29 has been quite stable for me. Are there any significant improvements on the newer ROM? If there is nothing noticeable, I guess I'll wait for next week's update which would have a fix.

Exactly my thoughts. The phone is still new and even despite this, most of the dev ROMs have been quite stable which is good for us!
What APN settings are you guys using to get LTE? I'm on AT&T in the bay area. I've been in the heart of San Francisco and I never had anything better than H+.
Well, Epic Rom has already been updated to fix the 4g problem. Just FYI

Oh man, thanks for taking the time to upload these images mate. I really appreciate it. However, these APN settings don't translate to AT&T. I am interested though to why APN protocol is set to IPv6 where as APN roaming protocol is set to IPv4... Lastly, I noticed your APN type is only "default, supl" which is mighty short. I have something along the lines of "default, supl, hipri, mms, fota" ... etc.
Anybody with AT&T here that got LTE to work?

Here is a list of them from sammobile
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
I think its going to be a free for all and maybe we in the verizon s8 will get love from the whole community this time, at least the US. It seems we all may have SM-G950U.
Is that correct more knowledgeable people?
I'm trying to flash to T-Mobile as all US networks use the SM-950U . That means they have all the bands for every network. I tried to flash through odin but if you flash the CSC file for T-Mobile , along with the other 3, the phone factory resets to stock Verizon firmware. If I just flash the AP (Actual software) and the CP (Modem file for correct bands), it works but I get a ton of bloatware from cricket, metro pcs, Verizon , and tmobile with a really glitchex out settings app. Also, without the CSC file your phone is still technically Verizon .
So we should wait? I have the Verizon version also but use TMobile.
We have to wait

I tried the method used on the S7 to flash another carrier and it does not work anymore. There's some type of carrier partition that can't be changed by odin with the CSC file, which would change that partition. If you try to flash all the files, you get an error at 32% of "upgrading your system". I heard that there is a new version of odin that lets you flash the userdata file to switch carriers from a other forum, but it's not out right now. So waiting is the only option....
Here is a forum post for the S7 edge:

Just we'll have to wait till someone figures something out. On a side note, what's the most recent update? I'm on QD9 and I'm getting an update notification for the dqa OTA fix from Samsung but I can never download it. Probably because I'm using Verizon phone on TMobile...

The latest update is QD9 and if you want to check and install updates, you can download Smart Switch from Samsung's site. Then you go to more and software updates to make sure your phone is on the latest version. I'm also on T-Mobile with the Verizon model and hate that I dont the Voice Over LTE, Wifi Calling, 4x4 mimo, etc. So yea, we just have to wait for someone to figure this out.
Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing but that Samsung switch program seem to be for transferring data from other phones so I didn't bother downloading it.

I thought the same thing but along with that you can perform software updates for any carrier. Also, I recommend d doing a backup if you want to flash another carrier when it is possible.
Wow that was a pain in the butt to install. Had to install a 2008 version of visual c++. Since I don't see an option to update the phone, is safe to assume there's no update then right? If so why do I always get the update notification?

Hi there, do you get LTE with t-mobile on this Verizon unlocked version?
I am asking because I grabbed one as well and I am on at&t but I can't get LTE going. When I boot the phone, it is there but within minutes, it goes to HSPA+, I tried every which way. I called at&t, gave them my IMEI and everything but still no LTE unless I reboot my phone every 5 minutes.
Thanks
You need to have the correct APN settings. I believe Verizon has the most LTE bands so it should work with basically most of the world's providers.

You don't have the correct bands enabled with a Verizon model when using AT&T. Verizon only unlocks bands for it's network, but tmobile shares a couple of these bands and it's it as big of an issue. At&t does not share many bands with Verizon so the phone may be struggling to even find one LTE band. The only solution would be to flash the phone to AT&T firmware, which is impossible at the moment. (I Tried)

Is there a way to force a certain band that exists both on verizon and at&t? If I can't get this going, I might have to just sell the phone. I have couple more days of patience left

You would need to find the firmware of an AT&T s8 and flash the CP file (Modem) using odin. This should unlock the correct bands. I did this on my Verizon s8 as I use T-Mobile.
Hello Friends,
I noticed as I was driving thru the Washington DC area yesterday that my 4G LTE signal briefly changed to 5G E and initially I was baffled because I didn't think the service rolled out just yet. May be a testing tower but nonetheless it was cool to see the signal change on the status bar. Since I was driving at highway speeds, I didn't get a chance to test the data speed but the capability is obviously there for the Note 9. Anyone else experience this in their area/region yet? Just curious to see how widespread the testing is! https://www.fiercewireless.com/5g/at-t-to-begin-upgrading-existing-lte-phones-to-5g-e

Maybe the "E" is for electronic? Since all the rumors point at hardware exclusive capability! So, my guess is that 5G will roll out even to the S9, but it won't be as fast as the S10 since it's in the hardware. That's just an assumption, though. On a side note, I really hope that carriers dont increase their prices with it, because I'll just have to stay on my 4G. T-mobile is blazing fast regardless.

Agreed! But they did this crap with 4G LTE as well. When you get an HSPA+ connection it will show 4G (sans LTE) but HSPA+ is not really 4G. Debateable, I know.
AT&T Petitioned the governing body and was allowed to sell standard GSM HSPA+ as 4G.
Blah! They do this crap all the time. Nothing new.
Edit: Oh, they talk about the 4G / LTE thing in the article.

At&t's 5G isn't actually 5G it's just branding for the non tech savvy folks. The same way 4G was actually 3.5G. Rule of thumb is, and that's an easy way to know if it's 5G. Run a speed test. If the speed is below 1Gbps it's not 5G. For example out here in Canada on LTE Advanced speeds are between 200 and 300 Mbps. That's NOT 5G.

Yeah, thats what we were all saying before you. The linnked article even discussed the 3.5G that you are talking about.
That really agitated me. When I built ROM's I would usually have an option for the 4G indicator style.
AT&T knows exactly what they're doing here. It's incredible shady business practice. I wish the FCC would step in and say knock it off.
I appreciate all of the info friends. This is good to know information. I just don't see the point in pushing this other than duping people into believing something that is not true. How does that help their bottom line? They even admitted that they are doing this with no regret. Unbelievable!
