Loosing Data Connection on Project Fi - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was running JDX which is based on the Marshmallow preview and Project Fi was working great without any issues. I recently decided to switch back to a 5.1.1 based ROM due to some other issues on Marshmallow. Since then I have tried both Chroma and Pure Nexus but I keep running into the same issue with Fi. I am able to activate just fine with the Fi app but after awhile I loose mobile data. I stay connected to the network so calls/sms work fine but I get the ! over my network status in the notification bar. A reboot or airplane mode toggle sometimes fixes it. Any ideas on how to permanently fix it or what could be going wrong?

different ones work in different ways across phones, towers, and netowrks it seems based on the results i see on here usually. i tend to start from the newest first for a day or two, see how it does then downgrade if i see a lot of battery drain or poor signal

Droid 4 and CM10.2 data issue

Is anyone else that's running CM10.2 on Droid 4 having data connection issues? Have you fixed them? If so, how? Does the code need to bake a while longer before data starts working?
I'm running CM 10.22010831-NIGHTLY-maserati
WIFI is working, but I can't get data to work otherwise. I did a factory reset and started fresh. I've tried flashing the ROM and gapps package multiple times. I wiped cache and Dalvik. I tried repairing permissions.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Marty

Tried that and still no love.
I think i need to update my baseband radio, but I can't find a more recent baseband version for the Droid 4.
I'm currently using CDMA_N_05.11.01P LTEDC_U_09.11.00.
Anyone have a link for a newer version or any idea how to get one?
Thanks,
Marty
Do u have the issue on stock rom slot? If so then take it back to stock with the latest utility floating around the forum. Check for system updates if there is one dl and install to make sure u have latest radio if problem persist then it's a Good possibility it's A coverage issue or hardware related problem..

Ok, here's where I'm at now.
I updated my stock rom. baseband is now at 5.25.00. Still won't work on CM10.2.
3g will work on my stock ROM, but not on CM.
I've screwed with the mobile network settings and I can't get any difference in results.
LTE works great with CM10.2, but as soon as I'm in 3g territory, I'm dead in the water. I can receive and place voice calls and I get text messages through the messaging app, but anything that requires an actual data connection, like google voice or the browser, it won't work.
Help!?
updated PRL, still no love.
In some versions i needed to add APN manually, then it would work. In earlier version i had the same problem that 3g would not work. Also problem with reception bars - it would always show like 1 bar or smth like this but would work just fine.

It already has several APNs set up. The one I have selected is: APN: vzwinternet, MCC:311, MNC:480. Most everything else isn't set.

Set adrift without data.
Day 10: I've run out of water. The sea gulls... they mock me... with their wings... and beaks... and of course their raucous calls. They are scheming against me. My only friend is the lone shark that circles me constantly. He's attentive like that. A bit forward though. Keeps trying to kiss me. I tell him "NO KISSES FOR YOU! Not until the second date."
Also, still no data.

First off, thanks for the chuckle
Secondly, you're getting no data at all? Are you on Verizon? If so, do you have LTE in your area? My personal experience has been LTE data is working fine but 3G has been REAL spotty. I did see dhacker on twitter post a new razr build with some 3G tweaks he was testing. So that is being worked on and should filter down to us when it does get figured out.

3G was working fine on 10.1, but is nonexistent on 10.2. It actually acts like it wants to connect to a roaming tower if I switch it to GSM, but it can only see it and won't pass traffic.
I could just go back to 10.1 or run stock, but my pigheadedness, that's a word now, won't allow it.
On the brighter side, I am learning a great deal more about my phone that I had previously known.
The problem seemed to rectify itself around the nightly build on 9-15 or 9-16.
I know I'm a bit late, but I always do the * # * # 4636 # * # * in dialer and I turn off the radio, set the radio to cdma/lte and turn it back on, usually it isn't letting all those other antennas run and it seems to pick 4G LTE faster in my experience.
I think it's a CM10.2 issue...
Hi, my friend with a Galaxy S3 is having the exact same data retention issues we are having on our Droid 4's, which makes me think this is a bug in CM10.2 on various devices more than an issue with our phones. I can get LTE data when I have service, but find that once I loose service, even for a moment, the phone then never re-connects to LTE again and just sits there with white bars instead. Toggling data or airplane mode seems to usually trick it into reconnecting to LTE, but it is becoming annoying to have to constantly check and toggle around to get data back. I've tried every nightly and the M1 and have found the issue remains through the 11/19 build. I've installed the ROM into slot1, I'm not sure if overwriting the stock ROM and using the stock slot with CM10.2 helps matters at all, has anyone had any experience with using CM10.2 in the stock slot instead of Sot 1?

Massive wifi bug on stock Lollipop

Wifi turns off automatically and it's impossible to make it work again without rebooting. Am I the only one with this issue?

I have a variant of this, I've tried with both the .03 and .04 radios, it's the same, so it's not the radio itself:
I lose coverage so I get the wifi icon with the exclamation mark, instead of it reconnecting automatically. Switching wifi off, then back on, allows me to use wifi again.
I'm using the NX5 AOSP ROM, 5.0R6 (LRX21T)
We all get different experiences, but it sounds like the root cause is likely the same.
Give as much information as you can (Android version, radio, which particular ROM, usage), otherwise it's impossible to understand what could be causing the issue.

The same happens on my Nexus 10 (which doesn't have a radio as far as I know) with stock rooted 5.0.
Wi-Fi delayed list...
A very annoying bug that i am facing is when i enable Wi-Fi i have to wait more than two minutes to get the Wi-Fi network list meanwhile i might get messages like "settings are not responding" also none of the new Wi-Fi networks are saved b in to saved network list, so i have to enter wpa keys again and again....

Did you do a clean install or did you just install it over your 4.4?

once you click "flash all.bat" it formats and cleans everything, so I guess I clean flashed it.

I guess I'm just wondering if these are issues are due to not starting a clean slate. I typically try to do a clean wipe of the internal NAND whenever it's a major revision change (4.4 > 5.0).
But if the bugs are persistent for those of you who did a clean install...maybe it's better to hold off for now.
I did a clean flash all as well and have the same issue where WiFi is never turned off. Wtf google. Battery was awesome right before the update

as for me, usb tether always turns of itself when i wake/turn the screen on
stock image rooted using CF
wifi works fine
Mine would lose connectivity, meander about for 30 - 60 seconds, and reconnect. I set the WiFi antenna to 2.4Ghz (from Auto) and turned off "Scanning always available" (although I doubt the latter had anything to do with it) and it's been fine ever since. This was on a clean factory install -- no root, no OTA update; pure OEM Lollipop ROM.
Whenever i go to settings > Wifi settings the phone freezes for a couple of seconds and then it crashes. This happens like 70% of the time.
Anyone else having this ?
I dont have any wifi etc problems
Only thing i have noticed so far is the recent apps bug that shows up sometimes

You have to reboot to get it working again.
Decided to take the plunge. Installed lollipop. Am happy to say that I do not have this issue occuring to me though.
yup, wifi issues for me.
Notice it when I get home, my wifi will not connect and when I go to check the settings it has been turned off. So of course I try to turn it on but everything I try does not work, I am unable to get it to turn on. Only a reboot will get wifi working again.
Not happy at all about this. and a couple of other features. Now I'm wishing I never did the update. Google you have taken my expensive smart phone and turned it against me.

It could be a combination of your router and something they've changed in how Lollipop handles networking.

I have the same issue. On my Nexus 4, I just set it to 2.4 GHz only, as 5 GHz has never worked since 4.3. I can only connect if I hold the phone up to the router. On my Nexus 7 where 5GHz actually works well, I like the fact it prefers 5GHz.

GPS + Data issues

Hello all, I have an XT1063 (Global, single sim) running Lollipop (5.0.2). When I first bought it, it came with Kitkat and everything was working perfectly. I was in the insider program so I got to test drive Lollipop earlier than most people, which was nice and didn't really mess anything up the first few builds. The last build, however, changed that. This is the currently available build to everyone, since the beta program is over. Anyway, the problem is that my GPS will not lock on to satellites, making all map/traffic apps completely useless. As if this wasn't enough, the phone often drops my data connection (H+) and when switching from WiFi to celular data, it can take upwards of 5 minutes to get a data signal.
Could this be a problem with the modem fimwares? What are my options? I've thought about going back to stock, even reset everything from the settings menu once (didn't revert to stock kitkat, just factory settings on Lollipop.) If I absolutely have to go back to stock kitkat, how would I do it?
Any and all help would be much appreciated!

Lollipop has a lot of issues... I have ****ty GPS lock too, but maybe that's because of my region.
I can agree with you on the frequent network drops though... Sadly, i have no solution for that, except to re-save the apn until you get the data working.
However, for the WiFi - cellular data switching, switch on "Aggressive Wi-Fi to Cellular Handover" in Developer Options.... It kinda solves my problem. (Still takes a minute for my data to work)

There are a couple of them in the development section... But I suggest before you downgrade, why not backup your data and factory reset in lollipop itself? See if your problems continue or not... You'll be wiping data anyways when you are downgrading.

I did perform a factory reset earlier today, but the problems persisted, so I've now downgraded to 4.4.4 and will be on the lookout for these issues for a few days before updating again.

Bad WiFi and data signal/signal strength.

On my stock nexus 6 (not rooted) I always have a poor WiFi signal. If I'm right next to the router I'm OK, but in the next room it's an extremely low signal and always slow. My data signal is always weaker as well. Whenever I'm running a custom ROM like CM 12 or even other custom stock roms my WiFi signal is very strong even further away. Its not my router because the phone does it anywhere. I'm just wondering if anyone else has these issues running completely stock or a fix or something. Thank you.

It would help a bit if you mentioned what software revision your stock ROM is. Also, is this just WiFi or are you having mobile data issues too?
It has done this on all android 5 versions. Right now I'm on the latest. LMY47l.

Also it is mostly Wi-Fi. I do notice my signal is weaker in places I usually have a strong one though.

I just got my nexus last Thursday on Verizon. Data didn't seem right to me either. Had issues activating the phone, slow page loads on both Wi-Fi and data, dropped calls. Went back to the store, they insisted on swapping sims and sending me home to try it. Waste of time. So I went back today and swapped for another phone. It seems some better, but still not right. Certainly not like my note 3 was before. And they were even known for radio issues... Mine is straight out of the box, no mods, no apps yet, no root, etc. Running 5.1, LMY47E
Sorry, no answers to offer (yet anyway). Just letting you know your not alone. I usually wait a week or so before rooting and romming a new phone to let the new wear off. In a week, if that fixes it, I'll be glad to leave a rom on it

2) use the data dialer reset code

What are those steps?
I am not on Sprint, I am using Vodafone in The Netherlands and I got this weak data connection problem.
Well, actually it is weird. Sometimes, the phone went to "G" because it cannot connect to 3G/HSDPA. But, it does this quite often in "certain places" where it's not like this when I got the it for the first time.
And some times also, when I get the phone to a place with strong signal, it has difficulty to regain 3G/HSDPA. I saw the "3G or H icon" glitching, trying to connect .... disconnect ... connect ... disconnect.
Then I must reboot the phone, after that it's normal.
Not often though.
I am running stock 5.1 (OTA updated via adb), not-rooted, but unlocked.

No, sorry. Some of those codes I linked are universal but I believe the data reset code is specifically for Sprint. Look for the AT&T specific thread in the general forum and see if there's anything mentioned there.

[Q] WiFi calling on AOSP on Project Fi

Im seeing multiple people saying that they have WiFi calling on Project Fi running a latest AOSP ROM like Chroma or AOSiP, but I cannot get it working. You cannot put phone into airplane mode to force test it, so how are you verifying it is going over WiFi? It is supposed to show the SSID in the call, but I cannot get it to do this, even with poor to no cell service.
EDIT:
It is not working. Either people were lying or dont understand how wifi calling works for Fi, but once asked to perform a screen shot, they changed their answers to, it doesnt work, but everything else does. Which all AOSP ROMs have before.

These ROM's don't let you put it Airplane mode so the toggle isn't there or doesn't work?
Will update 1st post.
It is not working. Either people were lying or dont understand how wifi calling works for Fi, but once asked to perform a screen shot, they changed their answers to, it doesnt work, but everything else does. Which all AOSP ROMs have before.
The latest Pure Nexus ROM worked for me. I noticed there was a third file posted along with it called a "Google dialer.". Required to work with project Fi. I did a clean install (wiped everything) since I had wiped my phone clean anyway, and installed the stock ROM (after being used to Chroma).
Turning on airplane mode on my phone, then Re-enabled my WiFi connection. Made a call as usual, and it went through. On both the stock rom and Pure Nexus.
How can I know for certain that I am getting WiFi calling, other than knowing I had disabled my cellular radio? I would be more than happy to install software and take a screenshot to help. I'd been using Chroma as my goto ROM on my nexus 5, so I did the same after the small nuisances in Stock 5.1.1, like pocket dialing. I really would prefer an led notification over a whole screen one. But that's just me. I hope I helped some.
