Verizon Radio? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a specific radio that Verizon users should be using? I'm having issues with both WiFi and 4G. Extremely slow speeds.

These are unified builds so it is unlikely there will be carrier specific radios. Mine is working fine on vzw. What is your baseband?

Glad I'm not the only one. If it doesn't improve in a week I'll just return it for a new one.

Just out of curiosity what Band are you connecting to? VZW in my area is Band 4

Is you're signal like this on stock. Or only on pure nexus.

I may try stock, but I don't want the phone if it wont let me run my favorte ROMs.
The signal strength is strong, but the up/down is weak.

Maybe try a new sim before ditching the phone. My signal has been amazing on this phone booth with custom and stock.

[Q] Where did my 4G go?

Running Paranoid ROM with Franco kernel and for some reason i rarely get 4g or H+ or whatever you want to call it, either way i'm not getting it even in spots i used to get it. Any suggestions or has anyone else had this occur?
Thanks ahead of time! :good:
Yeah I think this is also happening to me at the moment, haven't found the cause and only started a few days ago. It still said H+, but I can't connect to anything. Also running PA with Franco

I doubt the ROM has much to do with it.
Consider flashing .27 or .24 radios if you're worried. If you're on T-Mobile then you should expect those fluctuations. As I have, ha.

I made a post about this last night. But on my 2x unlocked/rooted Nexus 4s I no longer get 4G with LTE enabled. Instead I see them switching 3g/h+ but have no/limited connectivity. And when they can connect out it is extremely slow.
Have tried multiple roms, multiple radios... different kernels. Also, have one Nexus that is bone stock, not even unlocked.rooted (so it never had lte enabled) and it is experiencing the same issue.
At the sametime I have a couple other phones on tmobile (htc one, note 2 and an s4) as well, and they are all fine.

Nope, like I said, even my stock Nexus is having connectivity issues with H+. So I'm not even worried about getting LTE back at this point. A couple people at work are having the same issues some of them stock some not. None of them are getting LTE anymore, nor are they getting h+. So who knows....

Well thanks anyways, at least you saved me from wasting my time. :good: Guess ill just have to pick up a new device to play with.

[Q] Switching between 3G and H is such an annoyance... Any help?

I've read up on this and understand it is supposed to be normal, but man does it make my phone so much worse. Every single time a page loads it has to switch from 3G to H. My reception seems like it sucks so bad because of this. Sometimes it doesn't switch. I get good bars everywhere I go, but it feels like I have terrible reception.
I've never understood radios and such. I'm rooted with the stock rom. Would this be better if I tried cyanogenmod with a different radio? There has to be a fix for this issue.
If you solve this for me, I'll kiss you through the internet.
I don't think kissing anyone over the internet would make them want to help you any more
Its how the phone works, its supposed to switch to 3G to H. H comes on when data is more active.

the bars are for your gsm radio, telephone calls. they dont give you an idea on data speeds. do a speed test to see how good of a data connection you have.

I knew the bars are for phone calls, but I'm in the city of Chicago and have a hard time believing my data is as bad as it seems. I'll have plenty of times where it shows 3G connection and doesn't switch to H, therefore no data comes through. I've had plenty of times where I didn't believe I wasn't getting data, so I reset my phone and sure enough - data!
I do believe something could be wrong with my specific phone. I might need to try a full reset or flash cyanogenmod. I just didn't want to do that. Especially without checking with you genius's beforehand!

The radio is .48.. Baseband is Radio. You can go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227 and try out other radio to see if you get better reception.
If you're in a TMO 4G LTE area you can try activating LTE to see if you'd like it any more.

I can do that, but I'll first have to figure out how to do it. For some reason my drivers say they don't work and it won't let me flash clockwork mod. I was going to make another post about it after I figured this out. Do you think radio could be the issue?
Also, I am on Tmobile, but I thought LTE didn't really work since it was ATT band 4 or something and only very specific areas had it?

Well, I just found out my APN was the one used when you are on LTE. I changed it to the non LTE version and will test over the next few days. If that was my problem, I'm going to be upset at the Tmobile lady who put in that info.
Please do let us know if it's any better after using the epc APN.
If you flash to the .33 radio, the LTE will turn on and it's very good at holding a data connection. It's just when it's not available and my phone connects to hspa+. I have similar problems as you. My signal indicator works great and its blue but no internet. I'm wondering if i'll need to keep switching apns. I hope not.

Well, I did my commute this morning and there really was no change. It could be a combination of poor data reception areas and slow switching. I'd like to try to flash a new radio, but I don't know how. I can start a new thread about this, but I'll at least mention my problem here. I installed the Nexus 4 Toolkit and went through all the steps to make sure the drivers were installed correctly and such. I did this a long time ago when I rooted the phone. But something is wrong and it doesn't let me flash clockworkmod. It tells me to go through the steps again, which I have tried.
Is there a way to flash a new radio without clockwordmod?

I've been tempted to try messing with lte on my nex 4 as well...live in chicagoland...just worried about how good the coverage is and how well the phone would perform outside lte coverage since I drive all over the tri state area and need my phone to be stable for work.

Lte is amazing in Chicago but not as strong in Chicagoland. However, hspa+ is garbage in Chicago but better in Chicago land.
As for cwm, I prefer twrp. You can just download goo manager from the app store and it will install twrp for you. As far as I know you need to use a custom Rom that supports the older radios or else your calling might mess up. I use aokp.

Just wanted to let you know... I flashed Cyanogenmod and the 33 radio. Everything is so much better. Connection is quicker when switching, but also the 4G is fast! I should have done this a while ago. Been testing for 2 days. I'm in the city, so not sure about the burbs.

I actually tried that a few weeks ago, before I knew what I was doing. I wasn't able to flash it because I didn't have a custom recovery. I'm glad I went to CyanogenMod though. It seems to be faster and there are little things that make it better than stock.

Yeah CM has a lot of nice additions, Paranoid is pretty slick...been a fan of that one on multiple devices. It's built around swapping ui dpi...so you can set your phone to act like a phablet or tablet per app...ie...make gmail look like it does on your tablet on your phone. Let's you drop out the soft keys and replace them with a pop up slide wheel/etc and has a lot of the AOSP and CM features like the quick notification toggles etc.

Time to dump it?

Well guys, here I am with major thoughts of dumping my Note 3 and ending my short couple of month love affair with it.
I just feel that this device underachieved for me. My major beef with it is the poor wifi and overall network performance of the phone with no fix in sight. I can't stand the instability of the wifi performance. I also hate the speaker on this thing.
I also am disappointed with the community. I don't know what it is, but this community doesn't seem very active or have big numbers. I understand maybe a lot of people shy away because of the locked bootloader and such, but it just seems like low activity here.
With that being said, not all hope is lost. I still like this phone overall. I got in on the Cyber Monday deal for a $350 Moto X. I am making my decision easy for myself. If I like the Moto X, I am keeping it and dumping my Note 3. If I don't, I will keep my Note 3 for a little while longer.
And I understand that these phones are on opposite sides of the spectrum. But something intrigues me about the Moto X.
Ultimately I know that nobody probably cares. And that's cool, you can simply ignore this thread. But for anyone else, I would like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!

I wouldn't put up with that, either. But my N3's WiFi and 4G connections have been excellent. Have you tried exchanging your phone?
I'd love to dump mine also .. having all the same issues in regards to the WiFi and network connectivity. Problem I have, I rooted mine and now I get that B/S "Custom" boot .. I've read through everything up here in regards to getting rid of that boot screen and so far NOTHING has worked. So right now, unless I find a way to hard brick my phone, I'm stuck with this damn thing.

Barely any data connection if any and dropped a lot of calls. As far as WiFi I get excellent coverage also. Don't give up on your note 3 just yet. Just give up on t mobile!! If you use Chainfire's region unlock app from play store and switch to an att carrier, (like net 10 or Straight talk $45 a month) you'll be good to go.

Why not just sell it and get something else? The Note 3 is still going for decent money on Swappa and most people prefer to buy rooted phones on there.

MJE Radio Problems

Hey everyone. I am stock everything, and my wife grabbed my phone and updated for me, you know, just to be nice.
Anyway, the update screwed my reception. I no longer get 4G at home, and otherwise it's pretty bad. I'm new to the device and haven't done much research yet, but I'm not new to the community. Anyone have a fix? I'm ok with rooting for a proper fix. I haven’t yet because I've been crazy busy with kids and work.
Thanks in advance

Update: Discovered that mobile network was set to Global, changed to LTE/CDMA, rebooted, and 4G is back, but only 1 bar. I used to get a full or near full signal prior to the update. Anyone else have this problem?

Sorry about the thread guys and gals. I'm trying to research things in between making dinner. Eating dinner, bathing my kids, and putting them to bed.
So I found out I can flash old modems over the new build (I think that's right, right?), so I'm looking up info on how to do exactly that, but if someone wants to post instructions, that would be awesome.
Thanks again.
Alright. So I flashed the MJ7 modem, and the results are the same. Poop.
Sad that you can't get a response. I haven't noticed much of difference in MJE and MJ7

reception has improved for me from mj7, however, i'm in florida... So I dunno... All depends on area and such.
I ended up taking the update, and used to get speeds between 35-50mbps here in Detroit (there's a Cell Tower less than 500 feet from my house), but since the update, my speeds have gone as high as 70mbps and never slower than 45mbps. Granted, I tested this early in the morning....need to test it when folks are up and traffic gets congested.

Maybe there's an outage by you if your getting the same results with different modems. I haven't had any radio issues with the new update. All else fails Odin back and see how it does.

I Odin'ed back last night, and the results are the same. It held 4G for a few minutes, then went right back to 3G. So far this morning, if I leave my phone on my desk in my office, it holds a single bar of 4G. Once I go to the living room, it drops to 3G. Like I said, prior to the update, I got nearly full signal. I hope it's an issue with Verizon, and that it's temporary.

Your phone will connect to the strongest signal.....so if the 3g is stronger than the 4G it will prefer that unless you force 4g. The bars represent the voice connection and are independent of the 3g/4g which represents the data. Voice wise could be a tower outage or the new radios just suck and same with data. Try rolling back to MJ7 and see if it's the same. I know you said your new so I'd recommend doing some reading on what the db levels represent and so forth.

Try rolling back to MJ7 and see if it's the same. I know you said your new so I'd recommend doing some reading on what the db levels represent and so forth.

I did roll back to MJ7 modem with no difference, but you can't roll back the firmware or you get a soft brick. I'm just new to this device, not hacking my phones. Been doing it since my G1
I'm chalking this up to either a Verizon problem, or a change in how the software interprets the signal and displays it. Either way, I'll probably just have to wait for a new update (hopefully KitKat) or end up using SS, rooting, and flashing a custom ROM. A few days time will hopefully help, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

I gotcha. ? I've seen some people say they have been able to roll back...never understood how some can't and some can. I'm currently running Clean Rom and I've had no issues

I ended up taking the update, and used to get speeds between 35-50mbps here in Detroit (there's a Cell Tower less than 500 feet from my house), but since the update, my speeds have gone as high as 70mbps and never slower than 45mbps. Granted, I tested this early in the morning....need to test it when folks are up and traffic gets congested.

Yeah CleanROM is what I'm looking into currently. And also making sure my wife stays away from my phone haha.

Noticed my signal has gotten worse since the update as well. Was at our kids Christmas show last night sitting next to the wife and both on our phones, she on a Virgin Mobile Android on Sprints crap network and me on my N3 Verizon 'super phone'....and she had signal and I did not. NOT real happy bout that! Toggling airplane did nothing to help. It was gone. Hers....fine. And I'm paying twice what she is! If this keeps up, I'll have a Note 3 for sale soon.....

MHC19I radio T-Mobile

Anyone seeing worst reception with T-Mobile on the newest radio for MHC19I? Im wondering if it's just me or if it's hanging out the last tower I was near for too long before switching to the next tower? This is what I'm seeing myself. And what radio for T-Mobile works best for some of you if you've tried a few out? Thanks to those who may reply.
Not t-mobile but for me reception with Verizon seems worse with MHC19I's radio

So which radio are you using?
I'm on T-Mobile running the latest build. No issues to report here.
on tmobile with the latest update, no issues here.
T-Mobile also no issues and LTE works better with latest radio.... I'm on a custom aosp ROM.

Same here. Best experience yet with newest radio. LTE bug is also squashed with latest radio.

Are you guys all running stock rom? I have LTE connectivity issues but installed a custom rom within hours of getting my 6p and am curious if I just need to go back to stock. I'll probably try going back to stock anyway... it's so frustrating having to keep the phone on 3g to maintain data.

No I'm not the stock ROM. I'm using uberstock which is for the most part plain aosp.

OK, well I just flashed back to latest stock & unroot with no improvement. Signal still drops, returns, drops. [emoji20]

Just move my N6P from Sprint to TMobile and im seeing an improvement on my signal even getting better battery life which could be related to the signal.

I'm on Fi but T-Mobile is the stronger signal at my house. After March update I am still at around -95 dbm. So no change in signal. However my battery use from cell standby has dropped and I get better battery life.
Agree with you, data not good here in Cali after the MHC update, i might go back to the build before this

You could just change your radio
I'm having the same issue on T-Mobile with the newest radio. Reflashed 2.50 and back in business.
