sprint apn's and maybe sprint dm? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey all. ive been on terminus last few weeks and it just seems not so great to me (calendar notifications showing up hours or days later if at all, double tap to wake rarely and vol rockers to change tracks not working). i was on euphoria perviously but switched away cuz i kept getting mms errors it seems due to incorrect apn settings or not having sprint dm. i wanna switch back but i wanna make sure ive got the correct apns and hopefully sprint dm.
should i switch back or is this maybe just a bad flash of terminus? i did a clean flash (data and cache wipe) and tried a permissions fix after a few days but nothing seems to help

Depends on apps and usage and signal. I use lean kernel and I'm seeing 5-6 hours SOT with heavy use and strong signal.

Nightly used to sleep but doesn't anymore

Hey guys,
Did a search but didn't find an answer.
I'm running Nightly 102 and just recently I noticed that my NC's not going into deep sleep like it used to. I lost about 20% worth of battery with my NC "sleeping" for a couple of hours multiple times in the last few days. I'm pretty sure it used to sleep because I remember the screen would do that "shrink down to a single vertical line" animation before turning off. But now it's back to the screen just instantly going dark they way it did before the sleep issue was fixed.
I've also been getting the "Sleep of Death" once a day or so recently. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I just downloaded RC1 so maybe I'll try installing that and see if sleep comes back.

If you go to the spare parts app, look at battery history, change other usage tab to partial wake usage, and have a look there. That should show at least what is causing the problem.
Some of us were having an issue with the Google maps app, and more specifically the Latitude element and its interruption of sleep. If it is just sign out....it worked for me.
Sleep of death is another story that I can't help you with!
Hope this helps you

Thanks I'll check that out. I tried re-flashing 102 this morning but still no sleep.
EDIT: Just checked Spare Parts, but the only thing I see is 1m 15s under Android System and 32s under Google Services. Maps is at 0s.

I think your best bet is to flash that RC1 you dloaded or a latest nightly, alot of good things have changed since the nightly you are on.
Also (though I don't know how you flash) I got some great advice on flashing procedure to help getting a clean install of nightly, and I've been following this for a while now, it is
1. Back up ROM
2. Wipe cache
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash kernal
5. Flash GAPPS
6. Wipe dalvik cache
7. Clear battery stats
8. Fix permissions
9. Reboot
That's what I do everytime via CWM. I also try to flash only on full charge. I don't know if you need to reflash GAPPS everytime but once I had some wifi issues and this fixed it
Anyway thought i wouLd pass this on

I just did all of this (except wiping data) and installed RC1 and it seems to be the same. I REALLY don't want to have to wipe the data. It would be a bummer to re-do all of my screens and widgets again. Is that step really that important?

Most things are fixed by wiping data/cache and even dalvik cache..
if you don't know already Titanium Backup can restore most widgets.
download TiBu
Backup your launcher + "Application Widgets"
Flash new ROM
Restore apps+data using TiBu
open your usual home application..
restore "Application Widgets"
reboot
and tada.
I'm not sure if those will work with paid widgets from LP+ though. Has worked for me amazingly on ADW.
somethings to check for with the lack of deep sleep:
1) live wallpaper. its not with all live wallpapers, just certain ones. if you are using a live wallpaper try using a non animated wallpaper.
2) wifi is off with screen.
3) in maps, log out of Latitude
I hope one of these will help.

Oh no major typo!
I actually don't wipe data every flash, only if I have a recurring issue.
Normally it is just cache that I wipe.(have edited post)
But if you have an issue sometimes its the only way. Follow suggestions above for backing up apps etc.
Its a good practice to backup ROMs when you have one working good so you can flash back if something goes wrong

be careful restoring apps + data.......only restore data where necessary.....sometimes restoring data from a particular app will bring the problem back.
Only restore data where absolutely needed like email, etc.

I did just recently start using Multi-Picture Live Wallpaper. You might be on to something.
I do have Google Maps, but I never use it. I clicked "Don't Accept" to the privacy policy on Latitude. So I don't think that was ever running.

I've found that the "wifi off with screen" is what stops the SOD's for me... If I disable wifi-sleep, I get the SOD's multiple times a day. If I set wifi to turn off when screen turns off, I never get SOD...
Strange...
I never got SOD with old kernel, even when wifi is always on...

What do you use for a Wifi toggle? I have Juice Defender and it seems to work well when I get to work, (it turns WiFi on when I turn the screen on) but for some reason it doesn't seem to work so well when I get home.
Well I've been running RC1 for a few days and changed to a static background. I've been getting good battery life the last couple of days. I'll give it another day and then try using Live Wallpaper again and see if battery life suffers.
I'm just using the built-in wifi "sleep policy" setting (Settings->Wireless & Networks->WiFi Settings, then press MENU->Advanced->Wifi sleep policy).
With 7.0.3 Stable, I NEVER get SOD, regardless of wifi sleep policy.
With 7.0.3RC1, when I leave wifi sleep policy set to "Turn off with screen", the SOD's go away...
However, with the latest nightly, I get SOD regardless of wifi sleep setting!
Very frustrating!
Very strange issue - nobody can seem to nail this one down! I may end up back at 7.0.3 stable - I had ZERO SOD issues with that, regardless of the wifi sleep policy... Battery life wasn't as good, but I can live with that over the random SOD's...
It's got to be some strange combination of things with the new kernel I'm guessing...

Never knew about that setting. Thanks for the info. Hopefully Juice Defender and the built in WiFi sleep policy don't conflict with each other. We'll see.
Here is a few more details about my SOD issues... I've been changing one setting at a time to try and determine what is causing it. With the latest nighties, even with "wifi sleep policy" set to "never", I am not getting anymore SOD's (so far at least).
All that I did was to remove my Outlook email account from the built-in email app (still have Gmail configured via Gmail app though). Since removing my Outlook email account from Nook color, I haven't had any issues! I'll keep everyone updated...
Does anyone have an Exchange AND Gmail account configured but do NOT get the SOD???
Bummer. I changed back to Multi-Live wallpaper this morning and not only is it not sleeping, (down to 87% from 99% in about 3 hours with no use), but I got a SOD which I haven't had for a few days.
Guess I'll switch back to static wallpaper.
@darien87 - Just curious - do you have an exchange mailbox setup? What about a gmail account?
Well, I am thoroughly convinced now that setting up an Exchange push email account in the standard mail app was causing my SOD's. Haven't had a single issue since I removed the exchange account (left gmail account set up in gmail app though)...
Can anyone else attempt to validate this theory? Of course, it could be a combination of an exchange email account and something else as well... who knows - would love to get it resolved though!

MMS not downloading????

So I'm running Clean ROM been working just fine since I flashed it around the beginning of summer and just yesterday my MMS isn't downloading.. I turn off my data at night and back on when I wake up seems like I'll get one MMS come through and then the rest fail annoying cause I have group chats that won't download.. Anyone have a solution? Damn that's twice I post in here in a couple days haha

Data Toggle Bug: OP3

Hi everyone, Before i explaing the issue, I'll give you a little background. I was one of the first buyers of OP. Loved it. Then came OP2, hated it. Jumped the Ship to try out Lumia 950XL and now came back to OP3 couple of days back. Thus, I'm kinda confused between how quick toggles are supposed to work in Android as I got used to Windows.
Whenever i tap on Data toggle to turn on or Turn off data, it takes me to data usage screen and what is even more confusing is that it shows the data of other sim i have installed (which i have not set for data). If i disable the second sim, even then pressing the data toggle takes me to data usage screen but shows only wifi usage. Only way i can enable or diable the data is by going manually into settings>cellular networks.
I'm curious if this is normal for OxygenOS? I dont think this is how it is supposed to work as this defeats the purpose of having a quick toggle. Is this normal or i have some bug in my device. If it is some bug, then please lemme know how to fix it without completely wiping the phone as i really dont wanna do that as my phone is set up perfectly and I'm loving it.
Cheers! and Thanks!
P.S: Sorry for jumping ship , Lumia's camera was too tempting.
Hmmm that's strange, I only use one SIM, but my data toggle works flawlessly, but when you have the data toggle on one of the upper 2 quick toggles you have a drop down menue with the arrow below, if you tap that it gives you a quick view for data usage. On the top right when that drop down menue is open you can toggle data on/off.
Data toggle works fine here also. Takes a few seconds for the icon to change though.
No problems here as well but same boat as others with only having 1 sim installed.
Me too having the exact same issue
And even hard reset doesn't fix it
What about when you long-press the data toggle?
aftr hrd reset i got this prblm only once...and its totally working fine now...bt there are still some bugs in oxygen os
I started having the same issue too.... It started today! The toggle was working totally fine.... But yesterday, I dropped my phone and it started acting weirder than normal (it started acting weird a long time back but now, this happened!!!) I thought it was because I dropped it but I guess that's not the case! If someone has a solution, please do share....

Notifications Issue

Is anyone having issues with their notifications not coming through, or coming in super late, or having the same notifications coming up over and over? I'm expecting all three problems, it seems to be happening with every app for me except for calls and text. I factory reset the phone but that didn't fix the issue. If I restart the phone, then all my notifications that haven't physically gone into the app to check start pouring in. No idea what could be causing the issue and it's really starting to piss me off. I have already sent my phone in for repair cause my LTE data stopped working for no reason. I don't think both issues are related as I do have LTE data after they replaced some part.
Would appreciate if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks.

I had notification delays with gmail app, fixed it by turning off battery optimization for this specific app.

Some people may have battery saver on and this may cause late notifications. Also check in settings "auto sync", under accounts. I did have some late notifications issue with Gmail app and do know battery optimization usually is the cause, but it went away in couple of days after I bought the phone.
Thank you for the suggestions. I ended up turning on high performance mode. Let's see if that helps.

How'd this work out for you? This phone is horrible for notifications for me. It constantly doesn't send them until I actually pick up my phone, then suddenly I'll get 5-10 notifications at once. I've turned off EVERY bit of power saving that I can find. I only run in high performance mode 24/7 with all adaptive battery, power optimization, auto app sleep, etc turned completely off. I've also tried disabling all power saving and sleep in the specific app pages as well. I need to be more observant, but I think this is mostly with push notifications (ex, my 2FA app for work) rather than apps with timers to check for updates occasionally. I also have an issue with my wifi disconnecting while the screen is off sometimes which is highly annoying since my home presence detection is based on my phone being on the wifi, though last time it started doing that a reboot fixed it.
Unfortunately, a search proves that this is a widespread issue. At this point I've pretty much given up on this phone and am looking to replace it as soon as I find a suitable alternative. I'm just curious if it's a Samsung issue or a Pie issue that will occur on other phones as well.

Seems to be a general issue with android. Mine have gotten better recently. In addition to turning off battery optimization for any apps I want notifications for, i have done the following:
1. Wiped cache (under settings/app/storage), then rebooted into recovery mode and wiped the cache partition.
2. Gone into the setting and made sure apps I want notifications for are allowed to run in the background (settings/apps/select app for notifications/battery).
3. Allowed to run in background when on mobile networks (settings/apps/select app/mobile data/Allow Background Data Usage.
4. Gone into messages/settings/more settings/push message/changed toggle from "Prompt" to "Always".
Hope that helps.

It's gotten better for me. I enabled high performance mode but I had to keep going in and checking it a couple days after still even though it was enabled. Been a couple weeks now and the notifications I was missing before all seems to be coming in fine now. Time will tell though I guess lol
Are you also having trouble with apps updating? That was another problem I was having where I'd see apps needing to update, I'd start "update all" one app would download and then get stuck at 99% and it would just stay like that for about 40mins and prevent the other apps from updating. Then finally when it would finish the next one would do the same. It would literally take hours upon hours for 12 apps to update when it should only take a couple mins. That issue seems to be fixed for me now too.

Question Can't turn off always on display

Have turned off AOD as I don't need it nor want it and the white fingerprint circle pops up every ten seconds or so even though I've said I don't want AOD.
Has anyone else got this crap behaviour??

I've just turned on AOD, going to leave that bitmoji thing on. Why not.
I've tried everything to get rid of the FP, it just won't go.

I even went so far as to disable the system AOD apk via an apk disabler tool & that did not work.
IDK if you ever found the actual toggle to turn it off......I finally found it by selecting the search result in Settings.
I typed in Always & stopped there,finding "Always-On Display".
The toggle is at the very top of the page (FWIW,I missed this earlier when in the settings,it was easy for me to overlook the toggle in dark mode).
If you've already tried this & it's still coming on,here's what I'm trying for the next day or so:
Turn Always-On Display back on & set a scheduled time for one minute.
For example,I've got it turning on at 4:00 A.M. & turning off at 4:01 A.M.
ATM,option 2,the scheduled on/off time,seems to be working.
EDIT;after a few minutes,AOD is coming back on.
This is annoying....... Not looking good as a keeper,not liking OxyColor OS at all,what a mess compared to the OP7T Pro.
Not just this,but,the settings layout (for individual app settings is a trainwreck & power/performance options not sticking,keeps reverting back to out-of-box settings.
Well I think I found a permanent fix for this...it's actually a bug (in my case anyway)
I was forced to wipe my phone, which was a huge pain due to a problem with a mod I'd installed..
Anyway on boot I set everything back up then realised it's got AOD on by default and I went a turned it off.
Low and behold it stayed off..no need to do anything.
So what I think has happened is the update that came recently (11_A.12) that could have caused issues, always good to wipe after an update.
I honestly don't know if this will fix things for you, but it did for me.
Couple that with the fact that I'm now getting unbelievable battery life...I think it's maybe a good idea to at least try, you may not fix your AOD but you may get better battery. As I did, I think you'll probably get both.
Here's a bunch of pics from the last 24 hours, midnight on Thursday evening /start of Friday up till now.
Absolutely amazing.

I just got the 1st system update for the T-Mobile US version.
The AOD option to turn it off is now working.
Here's what is/was strange, pre-update:
The only way I could see/access the Always-On Display settings/toggle was to have the stock OnePlus Launcher as the default home app.
Even then, AOD stayed on, whether toggled on or off.
I was able to figure this out from prior experience with the original Oppo Find X & VIVO NEX.
Very strange that certain (seemingly unrelated) settings would be hidden due to choice of home launcher,but,apparently,BBK doesn't see this as an issue/bug(feature, LOL) that needs to be addressed, guessing this "feature" is persistent on the home market China models/firmware.
Glad it was cleaned up for the T-Mobile US update.
On a somewhat related note, pre-update, I could not find a way to choose "No Lock Screen". I looked in the usual place to find such & it was not available, AFAIK.
Now, post-update, that setting is found in "Developer Options". (Why?????? LOL)
On an unrelated note, post-update, another bug has apparently been taken care of for the T-Mobile US version :
T-Mobile bloatware apps now stay disabled, if chosen to do so. Pre-update, they would re-appear after a reboot.
With these bug fixes, my outlook on keeping this phone has definitely changed for the positive. I still have about 10 days remaining before T-Mobile's buyer's remorse return window closes.
