I want to throttle my download speed from LTE to 3G - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running stock MM and can't find a setting anywhere to switch to 3G. I'm hoping to use a little less bandwidth on Fi. I remember being able to do this on LP, when I was on ATT. Can it be done?

on Verizon i have no idea. on tmobile its easy as well. you can even select it in the main settings.

Now that I'm on Fi, and go to Cellular network settings, it only gives me the choice of turning on/off the Data Roaming. Nothing else.

Now it won't work any more. It worked the first time, but not since then. Weird, it just stays on LTE.

What Works:
Phone dialer
SMS/MMS via Google Hangouts
Data- 3G/LTE
GPS
Dvalik Runtime
Camera*
Google Experience Launcher ("OK Google")
SD Card
Pretty much everything else not explicitly mentioned in the list below
What Doesn't Work:
HDR Photos / Camera sometimes crashes
Other minor things that I don't care enough to constantly edit this post about

I'm in NYC and LTE/3G work fine for me on the 11/13 nightly. I just flashed 11/16 and confirmed LTE. I'll have to leave coverage to see if 3G works.
Unrelated- Camera seems to mess up in a few contexts like Barcode Scanner and sometimes requires a restart. Not a dealbreaker as it's fairly infrequent.
is there a list of what works and what does not?

I flashed it myself and everything seems to be working great! I've had both 3G and LTE working well. Better than I've had with many 4.3 roms, actually.

Band 12

I'm currently in the Cincinnati Ohio area and I read that T-Mobile has started up this band in this area but I'm only getting band 2 and my speeds are awful. Any one in this area as well?
Sorry forgot to mention I'm on the latest build lmy47m 5.1
this would be better in the Q/A area

Might also need to flash the modem/baseband again
Just reflash the radio and you'll be back up and running, mine does that when change band priorities but on sprint, I lose signal completely, so I don't think we're suppose to mess with those settings

I fixed the LTE not connecting by flashing radio again. Thanks @jwthompson. But I'm still only getting band 2 . my phone said band 12 is enabled but when I delv more into it it also saying its failing to connect I'm not messing with those band setting in that dialog no more it seems to just brake LTE connection so I'll just stay with band 2 I guess and the slow speeds. I no for a fact that band 12 is active in my area but for some reason my n6 will not connect.

Do you have a link where someone has it installed on their watch?
The update for the Wifi devices has not been released yet. Only non Wifi devices got the 5.1.1 update and the Urbane came shipped with it.
EDIT: Looks like the Sony Smartwatch 3 just rolled out.
Edit:2 Looks like today we got the Gear Live.
My apologies it turns out the link is bogus.

After resetting my Gear live several times; it finally starting downloading the update.
Reset then pair and check for update. Checking for update manually doesn't appear to work otherwise.
Edit: I'm on 5.1.1 and wifi works great at home. I'll have to see how well it fares on Optimum/Xfinity wifi later.
After a brief investigation I have determined (unsurprisingly) that Optimum/Xfinity wifi is out. And after additional consideration that's probably a good thing.
Also using a local wifi hotspot between the watch and the paired phone will not work. (To clarify connecting your watch to a hotspot on the same phone that normally host Android Wear will not work.)
You can however use another phones wifi hotspot to pair both the phone and watch.

I believe this is what you are looking for. In /system/build.prop there is a setting called ro.ambient.low_bit_enabled and its set to true by default.

Data For Nexus 6

Alright guys... I bought the nexus 6 on Black Friday on Amazon when i went for vacation in the states... Now im back in my own country and i am only getting Edge in the data section and i have flashed numerous Radios and Unlocked the secret phone menu and chose LTE only (No Data when I do this) ... SO i did some research and it says that the US version that amazon is selling only supports certain bands and im wondering if this is why i am only on Edge ...
Any brilliant minds can help me with this dilemma so i get atleast get H+ or preferrably 4G for my data connection please
US version is a model XT1103, International version is XT1100 or something along those lines (I know the US version has a 3 in it). I can't remember if there's a conversion method like I remember the N5 having. Definitely check the bands your carrier uses vs the bands supported by the phone.

In Developer Options there is setting "Disable HW overlays" Try that. I don't remember it that survives reboot. I have had mine replaced by Play Store in early January 2015. Never had this problem since.

Thanks Much... Going to try this in combination with LeanKernel which supposedly helps with the problem as well... This is a real deal breaker with the phone for me... I've had my nexus 5 from the initial release without any problems and this experience just sucks
Edit: So disabling HW overlays did not fix the problem...
I had that happen to my screen one time. A power button screen off and back in fixed it. Has not happened again.
