So for those that haven't heard that is having issues or if you're lucky enough not to. There has been a big issue affecting only the Nexus 6P maybe the 5x unsure there though. If your having issues with your LTE all of a sudden, it's probably not from being a flashaholic. They're saying Google should have a fix Monday August 8th. That's T-Mobile & Verizon, for sure. I've heard all carriers. Apparently it's a GPS Issue. They telling carriers to have us turn off out GPS, & restart our phones while the carrier resets our location. This is helping some.
Are you sure you dont meant the Nexus 6?

I have LTE issues on my 6P. Certain spots will drop to 3G and not return until I switch to 2G then back to LTE.

Hey guys, long time lurker infrequent poster. I recently got my nexus (loving it by the way) but there is 1 thing that I have noticed that kind of bugs me. Noticed everytime I'm connected to my data connection my signal bars go down considerably. (No data i get full bars 95%of the time, with hspa or hspa+ im lucky to get even 1) This will happen whether i disable my data in the settings, or connect to wifi.
I am kind of new to the whole unlocked device idea having to add the APN settings and what not, and I definitely did not have this problem with my last two devices. (Galaxy S i9000, Galaxy Nexus) if anyone has some insight that'd be great, I'm going to head down to my carrier store tomorrow, to see if they might be able to help me ( chances are probably not they're pretty useless)

Are you using a new carrier, for you? T-mobile maybe? Are you indoors?
The nexus 4 generally has very good reception, unless their is so,ethi g wrong with the device.
If your a new t-mobile customer building penetration can be low compared to other carriers.
Outside, inside, happens everywhere. And I'm on Bell. Same plan, same carrier as my last two phones.

I noticed some issues as well, but only on custom ROMs. My only conclusion is that it was something with the APN. I googled and found some APN settings to try, which has really helped me. For me, it was mostly with 3g to hspa switching, it'd toggle back and forth and would time data out. Since I've changed those, works much better. I'm on T-Mobile though.

What exactly did you change? That sounds exactly like what happens to me.

As the topic says I'm thinking about getting a Nexus 4. I currently have a Note 2 on AT&T and I bought that because I didn't want to spend the money on a tablet.
Now I have a new nexus 7 and this phone in all honestly is too big at times. I'm always on WiFi at work or at home so the LTE is not that important to me. My question is if the N4 is still a good buy? I'm planning on selling my Note 2 on eBay and paying for the nexus with that money. Any advise is greatly appreciated!

Most peeps love their Nexus 4....its all up to what you prefer. However, the lack of LTE on the nexus is a draw back .....being on WiFi all the time, it is not missed. Runs like a top and you don't need to worry about not getting updates...runs android the way Google intended and does it well

Thanks for the fast response, LTE would be a drawback if I used it a lot but my company gives us WiFi access and I have access at home of course.

I had a Galaxy s3 but was tired of waiting for AT&T and updates, because of my limited funds it was either a old Galaxy Nexus or the N4, because of the old processor and the problems that I read on XDA about the Galaxy Nexus and how it was having problems with 4.3 the N4 was a no brainer and since LTE was no big deal for me I went with the N4 and took delivery last Friday and Google is sending a Bumper with all N4's for a limited time. It is a great phone my only worry is the glass back but I am sure with time that will fade away.
Can't vouch for AT&T 3g, as I am on T-Mobile, but for the price I could not find a better phone to buy unlocked at full price.
If I had to sign up for a contract anyways to get the service I required, Ii would haves chosen something else if the price was right.
It is a great, phone, but there is better out there depending on your circumstances.
I need unlocked to use international, and I had been on AT&T prepay 10 cent a minute plan before I purchased and switched to T-mobile. For the amount of talk and data I use, the $30 100 min voice / unlimited data & text T-mobile plan and a nexus 4 from the play store made more sense, especially since AT&T did away with pay-per use data, or any data at all unless you buy a monthly talk package.
The T Mobile 3g is plenty fast, but seems to get a bit overloaded in the afternoon in my area. I tried a nexus 4 and an S4 LTE in a couple of stores side by side, and in the good 3g areas there was no difference, but in my local store the LTE was more consistent and faster in the afternoons when the system seems to get more use.
I had a Note 1 before I jumped off onto a Nexus 4. I am much happier now. Nexus 4 is the first android phone that I have been fully happy with. I am still mostly stock but have rooted for the sake of security and backup. It's the only phone that I have not had to reboot for 20+ days. With Note 1, the stock Touchwiz was unbearable and old, and CM 10.1 rebooted four times a day.
I came from Gnex which I thought no phone would be any better in terms of quality. The n4 matches if it not exceeds it. Not to mention, it is also faster
A Nexus 4 has lte if you're on t mobile and Canada. Just flash a hybrid radio and build prop edit as well as lte apn and you'll get lte if there's lte in the area.
Personally, I'd wait for the Nexus 5 because it's just around the corner.

I use straight talk so I have the luxury if choosing between all 4 major carriers. I'm only interested in att and Verizon because they're generally the most reliable. I live in Atlanta but will be going to savannah in fall for college. What's the better carrier for this phone? And anybody on Verizon could u please chime in with ur experience overall.
I have had my 6p on Verizon for about a week now albeit in Oklahoma. So far it has worked well. The first couple days I had a couple instances where it lost network connection but I haven't noticed it the last two days.

I've been using my 6P on Verizon since I got it in January. Happy with the service. But I have not used ATT since the flip phone days.
Verizon has always been spotty for me but I stuck with them for years since they are supposed to be the most reliable network. After switching to Google Fi I can say Verizon is just like Apple. They are just selling lies. Between sprint and tmo towers I get solid coverage and can actually use mobile data at my house if I wanted too. So what I'm saying is Verizon is no better. I would go with ATT if you are strictly between the 2.

Can u use band 4, XLTE?

I recently switched from Sprint to Verizon and I have had multiple issues with my 6P. First of all, voice quality is pretty bad, very low & crackling. Also, when I run a speed test on my phone I will get about 11mb on my device but my wife's s7 will get 21. I live in Arizona near Phoenix, is anyone else experiencing similar issues?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Turn off the 4G LTE mode under cellular networks in settings. Should fix that issue if it's similar to the issue I was having. Can't comment on the speed issue. No issues here with that.

Don't have much in the way of a fix, but I've got no issues on vzw in East Mesa.

Turning off LTE as Tu3218 suggested does seem to be the fix for those Verizon customers that have that issue. Just wanted to note that not all of see that issue, though. I have LTE on and voice quality is fine where I live. Some suspect it's a phone issue. If you have Nexus Protect on your phone, you might try to contact Google support about it.
I find my signal strength is not as good as our Samsung phones. My old S5 and my wife's Note are both better at picking up a weak signal and they get better speed test results, although not nearly as big a difference as you're seeing.
I'm on Verizon with my 6P. Recently switched from ATT. Central Florida
Voice quality is great for me. Specially with other Verizon customers (HD Voice / AMR Wideband). Speeds on band 4 LTE are normally >40Mb/s down, >20Mb/s UP. Band 13 is normally ~20Mb/s Down, ~10Mb/s Up.
Have run multiple roms. All seemed fine. Including current rom (Android N Dev Preview)
Thanks for everyone's responses, I have attempted turning off the LTE mode with no luck. Also, if I'm talking to someone with Verizon, voice quality is great especially with HD voice. Unfortunately for me, the majority of my calls are to Sprint customer and that's where I have a bad experience. I will contact Google support and see what they say.

Just spoke with Google support and they will believe it's a hardware issue and will replace my device under warranty.

Problem #1 My phone often shows an exclamation point and no data. When I toggle airplane mode it usually fixes it instantly.
Problem #2 In a few particular areas I get LTE but can't make calls when using Verizon mvnos. With my previous phones it was the opposite- I could call but no data. It's been confirmed with providers that there's voice in those areas.
I've used various mvnos, radios, and ROMs. I even sent my device in for warranty. I know it's at least partly due to the poor service area, but I didn't have these issues with my Nexus 4 or galaxy phones.
