[Q] Flashed Official 4.4.2 unbranded (C6616) onto C6606...Car Bluetooth issues....

As the title says, I bought a preowned C6606 and immediately flashed 4.4.2 ( I came from a Nexus4 Google Play Edition)
Got everything the way I wanted and went outside to connect and set up BT in my '13 subie stock system. Everything appeared to work fine.
Took a drive later on and BT didnt connect, turned BT on and then off again on the phone and it connected. Started Pandora and the volume was super low. I did check higher quality audio, turned up all the volumes on the phone, to no avail.
So, I accpeted this as a fluke. Parked, got out and later returned and BT wouldnt connect at all this time. Unpaired and reset up BT. Worked fine, left car, later came back and wouldnt pair again........(BTW none of the above gave me the loud volume my N4 produced, it just gave me mediocre levels)
After reading, I see others have had issues with 4.3....I was going to flash back to that, but if there is no fix...then.....
Please. Any and all ideas are greatly appreciated. I live on Pandora in the car, and cannot listen to FM radio for the life of me
Thank you.

Just for clarity sake, did you flash C6616 rom on C6606?

Correct. I flashed stock android 4.4.2 for a C6616 onto my US. T-mobile C6606...... I am not Rooted, nor is the bootloader unlocked. I flashed it 2 times using flashtool....the first time I didn't wipe my data and it was very slow/laggy....after doing it the 2nd time......perfection. Everything else works beautifully. I had 30% battery still by the end of the day. WiFi has 0 issues. I have full LTE and got 50 some odd mbps on speed test. It's just the darned bluetooth in the car. It won't consistently connect and that's a big deal to me.
Thanks.

Try flashing your model specific firmware from here and see

That is exactly where I got it from....at the bottom of that article it reads
About the Torrents files:
Also, I would like to notify you that the download link to the torrent is not from me and is provided by Flashtool.net . I have seen the issue with C6606, when you download the file it says it is for C6616. I don’t know if it is really for C6616 or C6606, but as to my knowledge there is not much of difference. I would like to ask you readers from T-mobile from US to make a ftf file for C6606 and upload it to some website and provide the link to me in Comment box. So that it will be useful for others users also. Is there anyone who could help me?
All of that said, what would really help, and I have searched, is a Google Play Edition Firmware for 4.4.2
I dont want to root or unlock the bootloader, so I am not looking for a custom ROM, but the official one that I can flash using Flashtool. If yu can point me int he right direction for that, then I would be a very happy person!

I am not sure I am being clear..............
I have C6606 Tmobile U.S. Variant.
I flashed Stock ROM for 4.4.2 made for a C6616 Canadian Version. Using Flashtool......
EVERYTHING works perfectly....LTE WIFI Battery etc......
EXCEPT....My bluetooth wont connect automatically in my car.

Right I did the same thing to my wifes phone, c6606 on tmobile. We don't have Bluetooth in our cars so couldn't comment on that.
If something is not working properly its inevitable since you are modifying the phone. There is nothing that u can do but deal with it. It could also be a compatibility issue as well. Some Bluetooth devices are more compatible to certain devices than others.

I went the other way around, I have a C661 and flashed a C6603, which I understand is just another variant. Everything works perfect for me. Here's the link for it; http://www.mediafire.com/download/an6lccyaa4lw96i/Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_4.4.2_XZ.zip
It is a pre-rooted if you are interested on that, and I do suffer from the google play services batter drain, I'm waiting on an update.

I had the same problem but I flashed a generic 4.4.2 C6603 from the UK. It was driving me crazy. Now I have issues where it will connect to my car but the audio won't trasnfer. It dosen't happen often. I didn't have the issue when I tried the generic 4.4.2 C6603 journalism software. Everything worked perfect then and my connections to the network for normal data and tethering are more responsive than the just released 4.3 T-Mobile software. Now that a root method has been found for KitKat I'll be going back to the jurnalism software. If you are willing to play with the software versions you might find one that works fine.
Maybe it has something to do with the audio software of the car and not the phone itself? Just a thought.

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

I see that you are on Sprint. Have you tried the following?:
1) update PRL and device configuration
2) use the data dialer reset code

Thanks for the response. I have tried these.

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.

!0n update content? Problems?

I see at least one thread reporting wifi issues after 10n. Anyone know the content of this update or other problems with it? I didn't take the update so I'm curious as to whether I should unfreeze and let it go. Not running a custom ROM yet, just TWRP and root.

Yup. Just having XPosed installed with no modules breaks WiFi Calling.
But otherwise the update is great. All Stagefright cases are patched, and doubletap-to-wake works consistently now.

For me wifi isn't as strong, if in back yard I get many 081 unable to connect to wifi calling, where prior always connected in my yard. But overall the update is an improvement and won't be rolling back just because lose wifi calling at times.

WiFi in general is still pretty awful for me. Lots of dead connections or disconnects on WiFi. I saw others having issues with Comcast WiFi. Really annoying, wish I could find a legit fix or more info.
Will be wiping soon to see if that improves. Otherwise the update is good. Phone still runs less than it should on clunky LG interface. Aosp is missed.

Marshmallow internet lag!

Has anyone been able to figure out how to go about fixing the internet lag that Marshmallow brought? Any app that uses internet seems to lag for a long time before actually beginning to load, including web pages, play store downloads, etc. I haven't been able to figure out yet how to correct that.

no internet lag here at all, on marshmallow. actually, any lag that youre having would most likely be because of your provider, and not because of marshmallow. is your apn correct?

same here. .no internet lag..

I experience the same lag, especially on the two apps he mentions. Strange because I don't see that on any of my PC's, laptops or internet TV's so I don't think it's a provider issue. I have checked my APN's and they are correctly set. It's not horrible with the browser, a five second delay before loading but sometimes the play store has to be stopped and restarted (or turn off wifi) to connect.

Same issue then! And Simms, I believe my apn is correct, it does this for me on WiFi too and same as said here in this quoted post, I don't experience this issue on any of my other devices in the house, just my Nexus! Not sure exactly what it may be. And yea, it's like a 5 second delay, but I remember how fast it used to be on lollipop, and that's a drag! Lol

No issue here either.

odd then. maybe its because of your "set up"? if you have twrp recovery, would you make a backup then try a factory reset. see if it happens from the beginning or not. you can restore your back up after.

same issue and im bone stock, If I have some time i will be trying a few different ROMs over the few days until I find "the one" so I will report back my findings. I'm on tmo and have the issue whether im on wifi, lte, H+, or H.

I have tried this and even in 100% stock. Unlocked bootloader still and same lag. Kind of seems like only Marshmallow brought this, possible in the radio file it comes with. I'm stumped about why. I'm running newest cataclysm with multirom and cm 13 on secondary. Using newest elite kernel. Multirom TWRP is my recovery. Also, it is safe to install Lollipop radio and use with Marshamllow? Can you mix radios like that? I may try that next if possible!

I don't know if this is an issue with me or chrome app. I'm on tmobile and sometimes it lags on wifi as well. Haven't tried a different browser.

Now I wonder if this is only affecting people on T-Mobile, as I am also on T-Mobile. Could it be the WiFi calling feature? I have this on because the service at my house is awful! Could be the culpit!

im on tmo and now that i flashed chroma the issue has not presented again, I will report back after more thorough testing.

The wifi calling is not on in Chroma and it does not seem to have any of the issues I was experiencing on stock so (by deductive reasoning) I am blaming the wifi calling... but why?

It could very well be the WiFi calling then! Which sucks because I pretty much rely on that at home, service is bad here. I wonder when that will be fixed!

Search Google for marshmallow data stalls. It's a very weird bug, turning your screen on and off is the only thing that helps.
I Flashed a cm13 rom and it is gone for me now. Maybe try that and see if it works for you? You could always nandroid anyways if it didn't fix it.

I have CM13 installed as a secondary rom using multirom, but haven't used it enough to really test that! I'll look into that! And so it's a known bug then, seems like some have this issue and some don't, which I find weird!

i just purchased a nexus 6 and installed marsh. i am also on TMOUS and i get slow loads on browsers and social media apps. Instagram and Facebook as well as with both Chrome and Dolphin when accesssing any webpage. ive been toggling with the APN and surprisingly turning the screen off then on shows minimal success. Page loading reminds me of when i had Nextel running 2G service; its that slow or times out.
However i do not get this on Wifi.

I had an issue similar myself. Speed via speed test were crazy slow too, even when in LTE. My fix was very simple though. I flash the factory image from Google and booted first time. Then factory data reset and flashed radio before booting, suddenly all was working again. However my issue wasn't app related but rather system wide, also WiFi was just fine. I've read somewhere that certain providers limit speeds when phone looks like it is a PC to prevent people from tethering. APNS would normally solve this issue.
If I recall correctly it was from "Sprint" and all providers using their bands.

[Q&A] Marshmallow Problems

Hello All!
(I went through 10 pages before creating this thread. I hope the Administrator / Moderators don't mind that.)
All the users who have updated to Android 6 on Moto G(2014), can you please list out your observations here that you think were "problems". Just to weigh in on which is better, Lollipop or Marshmallow. There might be "problems" with certain type of use and sometimes that "problem" might not even come up.
Thanks again for your time and observations.

Hi,
My sister has a Moto G 2014 which received the update to android 6 this week. After that, the vibrate function stopped working. We already tried made a factory reset, but the problem continuous. Does someone have the same problem, or even better, does someone find out how to fix this?

Hi. Since I did an OTA upgrade from Lollipop to Marshmallow on my XT1068, My GPS can`t find any locations on all the gps programs that I use. When I put the gps on "Device mode only". When I put it on " High accuracy mode" it will only update to the nearest wifi spot, and that is not accurate at all. I did a factory reset and a clear cache, all my location permisions are enabled.
Any suggestions to how I can fix this problem.
Thanks

On non-stock ROM Nexus Xperience (MM) everything that has been mentioned here seems to be working fine. But it's usual to have the touch screen not responding for several minutes and even have the System process crash or freeze constantly when there is high CPU usage and low RAM available (Seems it's killing the System process as if it would be any other app).

1. - google maps can't aquire device-only gps fix, if switched off before . High accuracy is needed to initialize, or another app which use location, like runtastic
2. - after using gps in high accuracy or device-only mode, switching back to battery-saving mode or completely switching off gps/location doesn't stop battery drain, even if entering airplane mode. Only rebooting the device after using gps will stop this effect
