Signal Problem - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am getting weak signals on my Nexus 6 (purchased recently) for the SIM Card and for the WIFI, where good Signal Strength are expected. When I talk on the phone the Signal goes to 0 immediately, which aborts the call. This happens several times. Then after 10 - 60 seconds, the signal comes back automatically. This doesn't happen for other phones I have tested in this area. So is there anything I have to do in-order to get a full signal all the time without interruption ? I have googled, but I was not able to find a fix for this issue. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Jos Collin

Baseband is your radio. Are you in Dehli?

I'd go with t-mobile. No matter where I've lived it had best service and quality and speeds.
Its 3g is normally better then my 4g speeds and my 4gs speeds are blown outta the water compared to sprint 4g.
But might just be my area
Well I know my area has terrible t mobile service Verizon says I should have good coverage but yet I get terrible service when my friend gets great service and iv been threw every step of tech support did not help also got my phone replaced did not help I was just wondering if Samsung put a bad antenna or radio in there note 3 I want to keep the note 3 am willing to switch carriers but don't want to be stuck with the same problem
What area are u located in my area code is 95621 may they have gotten better since iv had them
So why post this in the sprint forum? ??

[Q] msm_hsic_host wakelocks with 5.1?

Hey guys,
Haven't seen this wakelock issue pop up on the Nexus 6 yet, I know it was something that was an issue for the Nexus 4 and older version of the OS a while back
Anyways I've just updated to 5.1 and it's working surprisingly well, aside from having to downgrade the radio to receive calls.
The problem I'm noticing all of a sudden is the msm_hsic_host and PowerManagerService.Display, the former being the worse of the two.
In the screenshot you'll see that my phone is awake 61% of the time over 22 hours of testing, almost 6 of those hours being msm_hsic_host, and 4 being the PowerManagerService.
I looked a bit in to the msm one and it seems to come up when the phone is bouncing between 3G/LTE signals and people suggest putting the phone on wifi, but my phone has full-barred LTE almost always and when I'm home I'm on wifi, so this wasn't able to fix my issue.
Is there a way to see more detail what is causing this process to keep the phone awake? Or has anyone seen this and found a solution?

Host is usually related to poor signal. Display is just that, your screen is on.

Yeah for the host I had read it's related to a poor signal, but I don't have a poor signal at all. When I'm at work it's full LTE as you can see in the screenshot above.
At home I'm on Wifi, and even if I'm not on Wifi it's also a full signal.

Did you also get this figured out? Because I am having this wakelock as well on Franco Kernel on my Nexus 6.

4g low signal

Just bought note 5 920 C model.
Been noticing that it has low signal in lte/4g, normally only two bars.
Also, the 3g signal oscillates a lot.
Don't know if it's hardware related or just bad firmware.
I'm in Europe and the phone has arab csc code.
Should I return or not?
If not, should i flash a European firmware to see if it improves?
Thanks
Enviado do meu SM-N920C através de Tapatalk
There is no European firmware for note 5
Also I don't think it is hardware related issue' some areas I get only 1 bar on 4g some areas I get full bars and 4g+ it's network related issue because in the Europe 4g is new network band they not fully equipped yet but they will
Don't worry just enjoy your note 5
Thanks for the input.
But when compared to a iPhone 6 sit next by it's stressful.
The iPhone has 4/5 bars opposite to note 5 max 2 bars.

I had i phone before and I did test on both of the devices
I phone 6 with 4 bars, speed test 21mb
Note 5 with 1 bar speed test 59 MB
Dude here im getting 6mbps if im lucky

Don't check bars. Find a way to measure the signal strength. I mean.. IPhone can show - 90db with 5 bars and Samsung cans show only 3 with the same - 90db. Bars are brand relative, but the signal strength are the same.

I have a Nexus 6 on Google Project Fi. At home, my phone switches between LTE and eHRPD when on Sprint. This happens about every 20 seconds. Project Fi support thought I had corrupted software and wanted me to do a factory reset. I will monitor your thread to see if any of the suggestions posted for your problem would help mine. Good luck.
And I want to add its not the service because my girlfriend has a cheap metro PCs a phone and the signal is always strong

I updated my N6 from MOB30W to MOB31E and my signal strength and service continuity is much improved. The radio baseband did not change so there must be a software update or refresh that has helped my situation.
I'm using metro PCs got the unlimited everything the LTE is surprisingly fast.

Before I switched to Verizon I had my Nexus 6 on MetroPCS, and WiFi calling worked for incoming/outgoing calls and SMS but not MMS. You need to contact Metro to get your E911 address updated if WiFi calling isn't working for you. Didn't have B12 near me though.

Anyone getting LTE connection?

I've had my phone for two weeks and it's never been able to connect to LTE. Am I the only one experiencing this issue?
ATT has my IMEI in the database and still no success.

You do realize that Oxygen OS doesn't show an LTE icon for LTE service? LTE is still considered 4G service, and as such it's only reported as 4G.
Download LTE Discovery, it will tell you if you're on LTE or not.
Straight Talk MVNO: AT&T Towers
OxygenOS: No, I only get a "4G+" which after a while seemed like it was as fast at LTE if I got good reception. Either icon next to the signal icon means the same thing.
Sultan's ROM: Yes, I see the LTE icon, and I even get the LTE icon indoors where I used to not get it on Oxygen OS. The APN was automatically in the system as well on this ROM.

So what ARE you getting? As I said earlier, download the LTE discovery tool, it's super helpful.

Take a look at your APN's. If they look right, give AT&T a call.

Already did that, no worky. So maybe the phone is just defective, or OnePlus sent me one for the Chinese network and but the USA.
