Hello, just throwing this out there for anyone who is interested in this phone that's on big red.
A fellow co-worker just bought this phone for TMobile use.
I currently have a Sony Xperia 1 (CDMA-less device)
We decided to test my sim card in the TCL and holy crap it worked! I don't recall this phone being a "certified" phone by Verizon which is the reason for the test.
Data works, inbound and outbound text work, getting the almost the same data speeds as my Sony , and incoming and outgoing calls work with voice.
Once again thought I'd throw this out there . I'll upload pictures when he lets me use it again .

I can't get inbound texts to work but I'll figure it out. Still a great deal

I seem to be having issues using Data when I'm on a call. I'm on T-mobile in San Francisco running 2.2.1. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to remedy this?
Contrary to T-Mobile's position that I can do data while on a call, I typically have the same issue as you. I've only been able to get online a few times while on a call. Usually there's no data connection available.

You can only use data during a call when you see the little 3g symbol at the top near your signal bars. If it shows E, then you can't.
I am not sure if the problem has anything to do with being on T-Mobile. I'm in India & I have observed that on all versions of android, there seems to be a problem in following cases :-
1. Making a call while an sms is being sent out. Try it, and your sms would be returned undelivered & call would not get through. You'll have to reboot the phone to make it work again.
2. Try making a call while data transfer is on. It fails.
3. If some one calls you while data transfer is on, he gets a busy tone.
I started off on my Nexus One with 2.1 & I'm currently on 2.2. My friend who owns a galaxy s and is on 2.1 also has the same problems.
None of these problems existed on my nokia e90.

1. Never tried, but happened to receive calls with SMS being sent. Worked.
2. Works fine.
3. Works fine. Moreover, I happen to use a lot of tethering, and tether for hours while talking on the phone - calling people and getting calls.
I guess it's your carrier to blame, not the OS and not the phone(s).
To the OP: as everyone said and will say in this thread, watch for your connection. Having 3G signal is a requirement.

You must be in a 3G area for simultaneous voice and data.

i dont get those errors, and i've specifically tested making a call while transferring data, and many combinations of that.
i have never, though, tried the sms send and call test. i'll have to try that out.
anyway, the nexus one can use data during a phone call on the 3G network. if you are connected to EDGE then it will not work and the data will pause.
My phone does show a 3G signal and I still can't do it. I know that T-Mobile throttle the speed. Do you think it has to do with throttling?

it must be some isolated case with your spcific sim card or something. when connected to 3g you absolutely should be getting simultaneous voice and data, its very well know. not sure what else you could do.
This is weird. Ive always been able to get simultaneous voice and data. Never had a problem.
I recently switched from an iPhone 5 to the One Dev Edition. After having some signal issues, I went to AT&T, got a microSIM, they switched me an Android data plan, etc. But I'm still having an issue where I can't reliably send and receive calls, especially from my desk at work. I can dial the number and hit Call but that's it. No ringing, nothing. Just dead air, then the "call" ends. If the call does go through, I can hear the other person but they can't hear me. Same thing when receiving a call. I'll hear them but they can't hear me. Sometimes my phone won't ring and it just rolls to voice mail. I can see the signal switching from LTE to H, etc, and I have practically full bar strength. I just don't understand why the calls aren't going through.
Is this an issue with the phone itself? Something with AT&T? Is there a newer radio firmware I can try flashing? I didn't have any issues with the iPhone 5, and I even had my coworker put his iPhone into field test mode so we could compare the numeric signal and they're about even, though the iPhone usually does have a slightly better db signal. I really like the One but not being able to send or receive calls while at my desk is a deal breaker.
Thanks!
From the sounds of it, you are running the stock firmware still? Any root or other possible modifications? If you answered Yes then no to those questions, I would head back to the AT&T store and have them try it out, if anything they should be able to take your SIM card and put it into another Android device and see what happens.
What about text/data, do those work?
You said mainly at your desk you notice this issue, so does that mean it happens at other places as well, same symptoms (full bars, allows to send call then nothing?) You may just be the lucky contestant with a defunct unit, HTC should be able to help you out.
I would suggest first going to AT&T store, try out their suggestions, then if anything give HTC a call/email to see if they can be of any help. At this point I would stay away from flashing custom radios as they may void your warranty then you will really be up $hit creek.
Sounds like att.
I had this problem with tmobile once. The signal wasn't strong enough and it wouldn't call.
Some please are spotty.
Something is wrong with your phone. That should be obvious. Of course the vast majority of people who got this phone can reliably make and receive calls or it would be the biggest mobile phone bust in history.
Sorry to be blunt but you already know it's not the signal so it has to be a defect in the phone.
Thanks for the suggestions. This is the stock Dev Edition ROM. I haven't made any changes other other than just installing apps.
I haven't made a lot of calls but I don't seem to have an issue any where else.
No issues with LTE. Data has been fine.
I wasn't sure if AT&T would assist since this is the Dev Edition but that's worth a shot to have them run some tests on it. Otherwise I'll try to get a replacement (or refund) from HTC.
Thanks!

Think this only a VZW issue. I have my old Note 3 that I go back and forth between with my N6. If you are a busy person not just playing on the phone really using it for travel with GPS, email with exchange, busy with calls, etc. etc how are you all making it without Advance Calling to handle data and voice at the same time?
For me driving long hours using Google Maps and talking not able to look new address while on call and handle data is a killer...same with long conference calls and needing to send emails while on call or look up data via browser, dropbox, evernotes, etc and daily support stuff I do on my phone. So for time being I switch sims back and forth (have a nano to micro sim adapter) to my Note 3 more on it right now vs N6.
Thoughts?
yup, verizon issue(maybe sprint issue as well). im on tmobile, and have had voice and data at the same time since at least 2004, when i joined tmobile. even now, without volte. during a call, it swirches to hspa+ from lte(no calls through lte). and get high speed data, while on a phone call. but ill be honest, its really rare that i need the data while im on a phine call
May be a Verizon issue. ATT has no problem either. I make calls and use data all the time. One of the reasons I switched from Verizon many years ago before they added the functionality
Not sure I have ever used it. Not sure why you don't use a laptop... Superior in pretty much every imaginable way to a phone to actually get work done. I guess I work for a financial institution, so we don't use consumer stuff like Dropbox for data, and even if we did, a phone screen would be more trouble to use than its worth. And in my personal life, I'm a gringo middle aged dad...I use maybe 20 minutes a month, lol. So the reason it gets delayed is because most people have no use for it, or frankly never really thought about the fact that they can't do it.
I am a cable guy and believe me or not, the n6 is my daily driver. I had spent hours doing research to make sure that it would be a solid phone but it's hard to find a post about something that isn't supported yet. So I blindly traded my note 4 for a nexus 6. Still the best decision I've made all year.
I require a data connection 150% of the time. I also spend a lot of time on the phone, calling Comcast or my dispatch. The often ask for info that I can only reach with a data connection. Luckily, I have a lg gpad 8.3 lte that I use for that access but it's still very aggravating not being able to do that at all. It slows down my work a lot
I am on verizon and this really isn't a problem. I assume you have a Google voice account. You can make voip calls from within hangouts now. If your going to be on a call where you also need data just use the hangouts dialer. Problem solved.

Yeah, but that charges the call over data against your data cap... If Verizon would take Hangouts data and exclude it from your data cap, then I'd be all for this solution. Otherwise, Verizon needs to simply enable IMS VoLTE support, so that any Lollipop device can have VoLTE!
That's true but the amount of data those calls use is pretty negligible IMO.
Thanks all these are all great replies good feedback. Being so mobile my phone is always with me and just easier with a BTW headset look at phone and do task while on a call but seeing N6 now will have to wait.
I do have a cellular Samsung Note 10.1 tablet I never carry so to one person point I guess I will travel and carry it more just hate the extra load

Has anyone with another device on their account (perhaps a Turbo) tried switching lines, enabling Advanced calling, and then switching back to see if this would actually work? My wife has a Turbo, so I'm tempted to try it out, but wanted to see if anyone else had already tried.
Im going to be buying a new device and i want one that i can unlock the bootloader and root and so far the nexus 6 is what im leaning towards. I currently have the vzw Lg g3 and love it, im gonna be keeping my G3 as a backup. I also like the note 4 but the bootloader unlock is a no go as far as i know. I also like playing modern combat on my g3 without any lagging. Which device would you suggest and why. I just wanna be 100% before i pay out the @SS for a phone. Help me make up my mind. Thank ya
Hello guys its been a while since I've been on probably since the t mobile wing haha but i need some help. i have a nexus 6 on t mobile and i am having issues. Im on 5.1.1 and build lyz28e. I am not receiving calls and my texts are delayed.i do not get a missed call notification. I do not know any one calls until they tell me they tried to call earlier or yesterday. I got a new sim card and got a replacement phone and tmobile's customer services hasn't really helped me. I thought with wifi calling it would help but I don't think it has. Its not happening all the time but enough where its affecting my everyday life by missing calls from clients .

This appears to be a chronic issue on Tmobile. There are a number of threads on this. Here's one of the most "popular" > http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/signal-signal-t2959050
are you using a correct apn? if anything is qrong in your apn, you wont receive calls or texts, so id check to make sure its right.
Please excuse me if this post is a bit off, this is the first time I have posted here.
I really didn't want to pony up the $1000 for the full version of the ROG Phone II, so I got the Tencent version. I didn't realize it had band compatibility issues with T-Mobile. After having the phone activated, I was told I probably wouldn't be able to get 4G or LTE on it. Not really the end of the world for me as I don't stream video and don't pay for lots of mobile data anyway.
Then I started to have some weird issues. I don't regularly receive SMS messages. If I do get them, they come hours or days late. Sometimes I get them instantaneously, but 2FA has been a real pain in the ass as those messages usually don't arrive. SMS from another phone pretty much never arrives.
I also don't receive phone calls. I will just get notified that I have a new voice mail and that's about it. Sometimes the phone calls go through, but I can't even estimate the failure rate on that one as I don't get allot of phone calls and most don't leave voicemails. I do get phone calls more often than I receive texts, but my wife did call me 11 times before see just got a hold of me via a non-sms messaging app.
As T-Mobile likes to relay heavily on VoLTE, and I know it doesn't work on this phone, I have tried taking it off of Wi-Fi just to see if I can get something to go through. I haven't been scientific about my testing, but I have yet to notice a difference on Wi-Fi or off.
I really don't know how to proceed about doing diagnostics on this phone. I really don't know enough about how SMS or Voice works to go forth and work it out. It is not beyond my ability to root my phone or proceed with using non-carrier distributed Android, I'm not just not certain I want to take that plunge without knowing more about what I have to do.
So here's my quandary:
Should I abandon the Tencent ROG Phone II and just sell it at a loss? Or should I troubleshoot this problem, and dive down the rabbit hole of custom Android, rooting my phone, attempting to get back VoLTE, actually getting updated to Android 10, and being able to use the LTE bands?
Thanks for reading this far. Do appreciate any help you can give.
