My Nexus 6P Pandora Loading Problem Fixed with APN Settings - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright let me start off by saying that I just got this phone today! So far it's been pretty good I was using a OnePlus One prior so the experience is similar just lest customization than CyanogenMod lol.
Anywho, my OPO used a micro sim card not a nano so I had to go buy one from T-Mobile after that I popped that sucker in and expected everything to work flawlessly... That was not the case though. At first it took a bit to get my LTE signal even then my download speeds were pretty slow but with wifi I downloaded all my apps and I forgot about my LTE issue until I stepped out of the house to go for a run!
I fired up Pandora to listen to some music on my run, to my surprise after I logged in no songs were playing which I found peculiar to say the least since my data was working although it seemed a bit slow, I even googled this issue and found APN settings but it didn't fix my issue... What I figured out was in the APN protocol or IPV settings, it was set to IPV4/IPV6, I tried switching it to simply IPV4. After I saved those settings I lost data connection for a few seconds and as soon as I reconnected my Pandora started loading the music! I'm not sure how that affects data I know nothing about networking and IPV settings but all I know is that switching it to only IPV4 fixed my loading issues, much more snappy and of course my Pandora started working!
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but all I know is that those IPV settings were stock and I simply changed it to only IPV4 to fix my issue. I hope this might help someone else!

Weird, maybe your location towers software...
I stream Pandora daily with out issues via T-Mobile LTE IPV4/IPV6 in APN.

Yeah, even weirder, my APN's default to IPv6 when I reset my phone on T-Mobile. And I have no problems with it in that mode (with everything except 1 application, and I've sent info to the developers on why it's broken).

Yeah I found it weird as well, but that was the only thing that was able to fix my issue, I was getting quite frustrated since I use Pandora almost daily and it wasn't loading. Now hearing that you guys have no trouble with your data using IPV6 I find it even more puzzling, ah oh well as long as it works haha I won't question it. Maybe a T-Mobile Issue in my area?

TMob US - 3g service, but no internet

Ok, this is goofy.
Wifi works great
EVDO connects to internet and works great
3g shows 3 bars, but will not connect to internet
This is true even after a hard reset. Must be a settings issue? I did a hard reset, let it set up, and still same problem.
I got the same problem. Purchased the phone yesterday morning. I never had the data plan before. I called T-Mobile twice and they told me that it can take up to 48 hours for the data to kick in. If it doesn't work by tomorrow morning, I'll give them a call again.
i got the same thing too guys. it is fine now and i got a text message from tmo so it it cuts out again i will chime back in.
buy yeah, yesterday i lost connection twice for long periods of time, like a couple of hours.
Thanks for the info! Seems pretty weird that it works when I'm in an E area, but not on 3g. Maybe different towers or something. Friggin awesome phone though!
LOL, WTF
i just tried to go on yahoo on my hd2 just now after posting and guess what.... it's out again!
OK so I pulled the battery and popped it back in and my internet is back.
i hope this isn't a hardware issue!
Yeah, this is interesting. Popped my TMo sim into my Xperia, could only get E level of service for some reason but could connect to the internet. Put the sim back in my HD2, took it to the far corner of the basement where it drops to E service and it connects to the internet. Back in 3g zone and it won't connect at all. At least it seems to have a stronger antenna than the Xperia. I'll have to give them a call and see whats going on.
there was an issue with the settings...
you can try a couple of things first...
if you are familiar with windows (which sounds like you are), you need to go change the access point name (apn) to one of 2 options...
wap.voicestream.com
epc.tmobile.com
I called into customer service about same issue. I was told to power down, remove battery and start it again and check. It worked afterward.
Maybe it was due to them activating my new data plan, from Android data to Smart phone data. I don't know, just guessing.
I thought maybe I was having this same problem yesterday..
thought eh its all in my head.

This is tmoUS, guys. They're notorious for having ****ty 3G service. No point in having HSPA+ when the majority of the people are still reliant on EDGE. Hopefully by summer you guys will get decent coverage.

It was set to epc.tmobile.com
I tried to change it to wap.voicestream.com, but that setting errored out.
Then couldn't get the epc.tmobile.com setting to work which is strange. Soo, did a hard reset and let it set up again. Same thing. I can connect to internet with Edge, but 3g even though it shows the signal bars and everything seems great will not connect to internet, download email, update weather, etc.
I too am have this problem... Sometimes web works great, other times no web but strong 3G.... I thought I was going crazy...
My internet was working really slow yesterday when I first got the phone (5-60 kbit/s). Called up tmo to ask if maybe they had set me up with just tzones or something. The guy said "no everything looks fine here...oh wait I see there's something that needs to be reset; I'm surprised you were getting internet at all." When I asked him what it was he said he "couldn't really explain what it was", to which I replied "..."
Anyway, it seems to be working fine now. Don't know if this could be related to the problems you're having, but giving tmobile a call couldn't hurt, maybe they can flip the magic unexplainable switch for you.
Ok so I couldn't get internet for two days now, I called T-mobile twice and told me to wait 48 hours. After thinking something was fishy, I looked at my receipt from Wal-Mart where I purchased the phone and I noticed something peculiar: "REQ Android Web: 30:00". Knowing damn sure I did not purchase an android phone, I called T-Mobile for the third time, complaining, so the first guy transferred me to another operator. He checked out my account and it turned out that I didn't have any data plan at all. So he added the plan and within 20 minutes I was surfing. Everything works great. I'm getting about 850 kbps in northwest Indiana.
It's very interesting that the first two operators I called never even bothered to look at my account to see if I have a data plan.
Just discovered new regarding the no data issue.
I had the no data problem again today, even though it was working in the morning. I decided to reboot and check, but then I noticed the 'Terminate Data Connection' option when I hold down the power button. So I tried it. It killed the data connection and when I went into Google Maps, the data connection reactivated and everything was fine again.
So, it may be a bug!

Poll: Wifi Calling Error, Is yours working?

My wifi calling was working perfectly fine until just a couple days ago. All of a sudden it will not connect to the same network it had been working on, I'm on a stock Tmobile G2, no root or anything. After googling around and searching these forums I've seen its a pretty widespread issue and is even occuring on the myTouch 4g. This leads me to believe its something on Tmobile's network as I don't think all of a sudden our various ISPs started blocking something that wasn't blocked before.
I'm getting the message W006.25 ISP network error, and occasionally I've got W006.15 ISP network error. Sometimes, but less often, i will get the message to register on Tmobile's network for the wifi calling. When I hit register, the app closes and if I try to open it again it will close automatically in about 2 seconds.
I've tried clearing my wifi calling app data then doing a power off and battery pull, I've uninstalled all apps/widgets that I added around the time it stopped working (nearly back to stock). No one has found a solution or even really the source of this problem. People have even tried a factory reset with no luck. Oh yea, also tried all the different wifi sleep settings and wifi calling connection preferences.
So... respond to the poll and post your details; ROM, ISP, location, time frame of working / not-working, etc...
ROM: Stock Tmobile G2
ISP: AT&T DSL (I'm pretty sure, renting a house at college right now though)
Location: Orlando, FL
Time Frame: working from about 12/23/2010 until 1/20/2011

FYI: I will give you a heads up, I work for said company above and there has been some known issues with Wifi Calling with that specific error you mentioned. It could be a location based issue in your area or there could be a global issue affections subscribers based on their connection type/SIM type/ETC...
If it continues, I'd call and ask them to check your area for a 7 to 10 mile radius for issues and also have them check on that error.
I've had that issue before, when i forgot to remove my static IP i had set for my work's wifi. It basically means it can't get to the server. its either a problem on your phone (a static IP that doesn't have access to the outside world) or the connection is being blocked enroute to their servers. make sure you don't have any special DNS settings or anything that could interfere.

Yea but I never set a static ip address nor have I changed any router settings

I was able to login to the router and change the DNS settings as recommended in the tmobile support forums, still no luck. The router didn't have any option to allow fragmented packets which seemed like it had better success as far as fixing it for others. I don't think ill have much luck with calling the ISP since I'm renting the house for college. Maybe try hooking up my own router in place of the provided one?

Only problem that I have ever had is in a hospital with a pretty locked down network. Everywhere else has been flawless. If you have issues, use locked down dhcp on your home network with ports 500 and 4500 open.

Wifi calling and texting works for me. However, one thing i do notice is that text messages that exceed 1 text (160 chars) fail to send. Has anyone else noticed that or is it just me? When i find the time i plan on restoring my stock ROM to verify if the problem persists.
ROM: virtuous 9.0
ISP: Road Runner

It errors out for me once in a while but if I clear data on the wifi app and reboot the phone it works fine. Doesn't matter if I use enom, virtuous, or stock.

Int'l Note with Straight Talk BYOD - how STABLE is your DATA connection?

A quick background:
- I have an International Note - factory unlocked
- I signed up with Straight Talk few days ago - ordered the AT&T SIM Card
- Voice, text messaging and MMS works
- I am in Northern California
Problem is, the data connection is very UNSTABLE. I will have full bar, can browse the web and then.... BOOM! Suddenly no data, even though my phone show 3G and full bar. The only fix? Turn ON Airplane Mode, Turn it OFF or REBOOT, which is clunky and time consuming at best, especially when you are out and about.
This is not just an annoyance, but makes the phone almost unusable since I need data for my Exchange email, Google Navigation, etc. I DO NOT use the Note for tethering.
My APN is as folllow:
APN 1...
Name: Internet
APN: att.mvno
APN type: internet
APN type: default
APN 2...
Name: MMS
APN: att.mvno
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port: 80
APN type: mms
Fast Dormancy: Disabled
For those who use Straight Talk, could you tell me:
1). If you experiences the above
2). Where you are at
3). What APN do you use
4). Do you enable "Fast Dormancy"?
I am trying to figure it out if this is my Note or just ST flaking in my area.
I had the same problem with fast dormancy disabled so ok re-enabled it and it has been fine since.

Same issues here with an att sim and tried both single apn settings that came with straight talk and the two separate ones as you have. Also tried both fast dormancy enabled and disabled with same sketchy results. My location is Milwaukee, WI. Seems prone to disconnect right right after I connect to the market. Turning on and off the data connection re-establishes the connection though.

I used to have the OP's issue constantly here in Southern California too until I re-enabled Fast Dormancy and it's been pretty good since for me as well. Also have better luck with the 2 separate APN's that you're using.

That's interesting... it seems that I have to ENABLE Fast Dormancy for a stable data connection. I will try that and will update here.
I wonder if it has something to do with which tower I am connecting to...
Its really odd because everywhere I read AT&T doesnt support fast dormancy..
I still think its something at&t does to prepaid because my gf's SGS2 doesnt have that problem and I dont seem to notice it when I used her sim card..I'm on ICS and theres no way to turn fast dormancy off or on.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe some areas had upgraded equipment that supports it or something? Like you one of the first things I did was disable it per the instructions in the ST thread and never tried with it enabled until recently just out of curiosity.

I'm in the sacramento area, using the same settings with great results. Occasionally I have to toggle data, maybe once every two weeks, but not too inconvenient.

I turned ON Fast Dormancy and I was getting even unstable data, so I turned it OFF.
I was driving to another city today for lunch and I noticed my data connection was pretty stable. I had been doing a lot of testing: Google Maps, Email, Pulse News app, etc.
However, one thing is consistent: everytime I open Android Market (Google Play now), it will load UP until where I want to DOWNLOAD an APP (for testing - small apps - less than 2 Mb), the data connection shuts off....same problem as what I posted above.
I tried doing so about 4 times in 3 different location: home, work and lunch place, each location is about 5 miles apart. Same results.
Is Straight Talk monitoring and BLOCKING app download?
I'm using straight talk on my gf's S2 with tethering and its blazing fast (6 Mbps down and 1.1 Mbps up) and stable right now. Although I'm in Michigan atm (heading to California tomorrow). I plan to switch from AT&T's price gouging plan to straight talk when I get back so I'll let you guys know how it is in Modesto.
I have the same issue with market and sporadically, otherwise.
I don't think this is a straight talk thing. It doesn't make sense.

But if I access Android Market using Wifi, it NEVER FAILED. I access it using office network, home network, Clear HotSpot and Barnes and Nobles WiFi.
With ST, I got "No connection" after attempting to download.
Yeah, doesn't make sense, but this is what I found after numerous testing today...

Even when my data connection used to be flaky with Fast Dormancy disabled before I re-enabled it, I was always able to install & update apps from the Market. The weird thing is that it was pretty much only NON-Google apps that gave me problems with the data dropping out.
I would call ST Tech Support tomorrow if I were you and see if they can check your account and stuff.

I am in Northern California as well, Fremont to be exact. I have not noticed any problems with data while out and about here. I use the exact setting as posted in post 1 in this thread.
While at home, I just turned off wifi, and tried to connect to the Play store, No Connection - Retry. So I turned on/off Flight Mode, went back to the Play store, and was able to download a couple of things no problem.
This is pretty the same thing that would happen to me on my last Android phone, so maybe it is more of a Android thing than it is a Straight Talk thing.
Other than this, my Straight Talk data connection seems to be fine when I'm out and about.

Same here. I've been using nothing but Android since the G1 and I've never had these issues until the Note on ST, so I don't think that it's an Android OS issue UNLESS Samsung has a bug in the OS on the Note.
When I have time I'll do a search in the Galaxy Nexus forum or something to see if there are any problems with people on ST there...

[Q] Mobile Data connection suddenly drop

I just got my Nexus 4 not long ago. Everything is running great and smooth. The only thing keep me worry is my mobile data connection will suddenly drop. By suddenly drop, I mean I will have empty signal and bar ( empty triangle). However, it will back to normal in less than 30 seconds. It happens like average saying 4 times a day.
What I did to try to solve the issue myself.
I check the APN. I have all the correct APN based on the T-mobile APN thread from their website. FYI, you can find it here http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1979
I have micro sim card from T-mobile. I did not make or cut one. I'm also not on Tmobile prepaid. I have regular T-mobile plan.
Anyone experience anything like this? I saw many thread like data gray bar...low signal, slow data connection...but nothing like mine empty triangle, and back to normal in very short second...
Need some help and greatly appreciated. !!
Weird. I just started having the same issue., I'm on at&t though. Its really annoying. I tried clearing the cache and dalvik but had no luck. I'm considering reflashing my rom or upgrading the radio..
I'm on stock with no root. I will monitor a few more days before I RMA the device...but I doubt the second device will make any differences...No one sure it's a software issue or a hardware issue. My black triangle get back to connection pretty quick, but still annoying to lose all the data connection suddenly.
Are you having any issues with wi-fi?

What kind of Wifi problem are you talking about? Slow connection? or when you turn on wifi, mobile data turn gray?
I don't think I have Wifi problem (which I just turn on again) I actually set up all of my phone app the first time I got my phone. I download around 80
apps without any problem, and with no slowing speed. I did not check off the optimize Wifi box tho. I didn't run into wifi issue, so I did not check off
that box, although some ppl suggest that not to optimize the Wifi issue. The only big problem I have it's still the mobile data connection suddenly
go off, and go back on in a very short time. I can't imagine what will happen if I'm on a important call or using GPS navigation while suddenly the
mobile data go off...
What's your problem?
for more information about my phone, I have S/N: 310 K
stock, no root, 4.2.2, with micro sim card directly from T-mobile.
Bump =''[
Yep same problem here. All my signal bars will go gray and have no connection. I also get the empty triangle. Annoying as hell. I'm on stock JB 4.2.2 on straight talk.

Too bad I have T-mobile...=''[
I have similar issues with my N4 running T-Mobile prepaid. I can get it, but it cuts in and out often. Wifi not an issue. I'm running CM10. I'm in an OK service area too. Cuts in and out frequently.
I guess I have the same issue, I'll have a blue triangle with no data activity (no small arrow head in either direction) even after trying to use Google search; it will be 15-30 seconds after hitting enter before any activity happens.
Im rooted, but running stock.
I already request for a replacement. Will update soon, but I doubt the new device will be different.

anybody having issues with the handoff between WiFi and LTE?

If Im listening to Spotify at work or something and I'm connected to WiFi if I turn off WiFi and use LTE it doesn't know what to do I'm in a state of having LTE but it won't allow me to connect to anything unless I reboot. I'm using a TMobile version converted to OOS 9.0.12 rooted with magisk. The only thing I'm thinking is I'm using adguard as a VPN and I feel that might be messing up the handoff.
Any thoughts and help are appreciated I thank you in advance

Cool it's not just me
I noticed the same thing when steaming with Aimp. It's not a problem in general. Aimp is the only app in my lineup that does that. Data works, as I can browse and whatnot, even though Aimp is not detecting the switch. When switching to data, I just shutdown Aimp, wait a minute or two and fire it up again. I played around with the mobile data always active option in developer options but it didn't help.
Tmo convert - 9.0.13
It happens way before for me even in t-mobile firmware. I also did convert from t-mobile to one plus firmware with every setting retain. The handoff between LTE and wifi is very slow(The only good handoff experience i ever have for LTE and wifi is from Samsung, it switch immediately when wifi is lost). The 6T keeps hanging onto the wifi signal even when it really low and doesn't have a connection. The reverse would also apply, the 6T try to connect to known wifi and hand off too early and the connection got cut. I use youtube vance it a take some time for the connection to reconnect or I have to manually refresh, the same situation for other apps.
I just tried switching while streaming a YouTube video. The handoff was immediate when switching back and forth a few times. I'm convinced it's just certain apps that get hung up.

For me manually switching does happen immediately with youtube, it the problem when driving and you can't do that. My 6T will try to hang onto my wifi signal until it goes down to one bar and connection got cut off, then it switches. However during the hanging onto the wifi signal portion there are no connection. I do have smart switch enable.
well think I figured out the handoff issue at least my problem, using adguard as a VPN was messing with the handoff after pausing it the handoff is instantaneous
I have a similar issue when I'm at work I use Wi-Fi but when I leave work and I'm out of range of Wi-Fi it doesn't switch over to LTE a lot of times it'll just show you know my full signal but it doesn't say LTE and I have no internet then the only way I found the fix it is by rebooting my phone does anybody know how to maybe correct this and by the way I'm not using any VPN or any weird apps
I experienced the same thing when I was on T-Mobile service. About a month ago I switched back to Verizon and noticed the handoff was much faster to the point where you didn't notice and apps didn't notice. Not sure if it matters but when I switched to Verizon I was running the oneplus 6 pixel expirence caf build and still am right now.
I pretty much stopped using wi-fi. I don't use a lot to begin with. Straight Talk boosted their data limit to 25GB a few months ago. Even with streaming, I never get even close to going over. Before, I use to have wi-fi auto switch turned on, but never noticed a problem with it switching between wi-fi and LTE.
