I have a 64gig 6P on T-Mobile. I don’t know when the issue started, I use the phone as part of the digits program, but the cell signal is constantly dropping. It rotates through LTE, 3G, H then drops and starts over again in a few min. My S7 sitting next to it stays on LTE with no issue.
I thought it was a digits program beta issue so swapped sim cards. Did not help
I was on the android beta program, so took the device off and did a full reset with no additional apps installed. Did not help.
I did a search on the forum and the only advise I can find is to flash an older radio, but I haven’t read anywhere that this helped.
Has anyone found a way to fix this?
Phone is currently stock, non rooted, on 7.1.1 with march update and warranty just expired...
Thanks

Baseband version 03.81 came with 7.1.2 and is available in the forums. 03.79 was intended for Verizon devices, but I used it on AT&T until 03.81 came out. Have you tried a different APN or modifying your APN. T-Mo has many. I would also try using a different carrier SIM, preferrably a non-MVNO. I've seen a lot of T-Mo users complaining on XDA of constant signal drops, cycling and having to reboot the phone to get it to reconnect to LTE. I hear you with the S7 comparison, but I'm still suggesting you try a different carrier SIM to rule out a hardware issue, which it could be.

Both a new radio and bootloader came with the new 7.1.2 image, but it is also available in General. There is a dedicated thread there. If you don't intend on updating to 7.1.2, I'd suggest you download both the baseband (03.81) and bootloader (03.67) and fastboot flash them. If you don't like it, you just flash back.

I'm having the same problem on a different carrier. It just started recently. Flashing an older radio did not fix the problem for me.
I loaded 7.1.2 with the new 3.81 but it's doing the same thing.

Yep, everything is updated. Taking off the beta program again to try. Turns out my warranty runs out in April. So going to try to have it fixed under warranty...
Huawei is going to repair or replace it under warranty. I'll post on if this fixed the issue in a week or two.
Guys I am having the same issue. My Nexus 6P went out of warranty this Feb. I flashed 3.72, 3.75 and 3.79 but the issue still persists. I am on AT&T. Has anyone had any success with the newest Radio?

No, but it only takes a minute to try it out. If it doesn't work for you, just flash back to the radio that matches your bootloader. Like many have said the answer is not going to be a different radio.

That's my point... there's a reason ERE36B hasn't been released OTA yet. Skip it.
I had ERE36B and I had issues. Wifi kept giving me a connection error if I left wifi range and returned. My 3G wasn't as stable. I went back to ERE27 and had no more issues.
My personal experience is that the reception problems are present in ERE27 and ERE36B. But, I just pull the *#*#4636#*#* menu and set it for 3G only. I have 3G everywhere I go, so it works for me. And, I do get faster data with ERE36B.
I got no connection problems at all ...
Have 4.03.00.21_2 (I think it´s not the newest radio though..)
Edit: jst updated to latest one, found at modaco site..
Another Thread?
Well, the newest radio is EPE54B or something like that..
but it's the same as ERE36B
Apparently the AT&T N1's come with the latest leaked radio...EPE54B.

Well that's hard to say, but eventually we should for the tmob frequencies.
I received the OTA for ICS today, and it updated without any problems like some are having. However, since receiving the update, I get NO SERVICE most places. I'll occasionally show 1 bar of service and at that point SMS will come flooding through and send out. I have a 9020A and i'm wondering if they didn't change the radio to the T-Mobile version. Is anyone else having similar issues? I plan on possibly flashing a different radio to the phone when i get home (i'm currently at work)
I'm kinda going nuts. I only recently went to this from an I9000. I haven't even rooted it or flashed any roms. It was entirely stock. I'm admittedly a novice with this phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Model: 9020A
Android - 4.0.3
Carrier - Immix Wireless
Baseband - NO DGSXXKI1
Build - IML74K
Kernel - 3.0.8-gb55e9ac [email protected] #1
And why didn't you grab a link before you ran the update? My guess says is you got a failed update and need to reapply.
I'm a noob to all this BUT at the very least I can tell you that you need to flash a different radio since "Baseband - NO DGSXXKI1" indicates a radio that is not going to work.
Is this a troll
Did we just get trolled? Dude that's so cruel.
Grab the radio here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 and flash it with fastboot. That should get you the proper radio and get your phone back in working order...

I used that guide as a referemce:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396937
You will have to re-flash a radio, if you paid attention, you probably saw a line about flashing a new radio during the process.
Flashing a radio is a quick and painless process if you have the SDK with fastboot installed. (Newer version on Mac doesn't include fasttboot, you have to get it on top of it)
Here's the link to the Radios:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
I suggest you look for your carrier, you might found people recommending different radio for different speed/reception. Get one radio, flash it, test speed and signal and find the one that works best.
You should be all set with those links.
Thanks everyone, I'll try this out in a bit and get back to you. I never read anything about flashing a radio. Again, I got the ota directly from Google... At least wifi is working.

LYZ28E (T-Mobile image) radio is MDM9625_104649.09.05.14R
LMY47D (Verizon OTA) radio is MDM9625_104446.01.02.98R
And the previous builds have even lower build numbers. Pretty sure the T-Mobile image/OTA radio is newer. Not that that makes it necessarily better, to be sure.

I was wondering the same thing since all Nexus are the same. I am guessing that WiFi calling only works for T-Mobile so any other prepaid carrier that tries to use WiFi calling won't work, and since Google doesn't want any confusion they release it for only Tmo

You could make a full backup of 6.0 then update to 6.0.1 and see how it goes. I for one am still on 6.0 because I am affected by the LTE issue.
Go for the update. If you notice any of the problems downgrade. Its quite strange but not all users are effected.

I'm having no issues with 6.0.1 at all. It depends on your personal usage and you should try it yourself. With a backup there is no problem to return to 6.0 if you should spot issues. Personally I would definitely update, just because of the security updates...

I think this is accounting for my increased battery between 6.0.0 and 6.0.1

I'm having no issues with 6.0.1 at all. It depends on your personal usage and you should try it yourself. With a backup there is no problem to return to 6.0 if you should spot issues. Personally I would definitely update, just because of the security updates...

If I update, do I need to be rooted to go back if I want to return to 6.0?

I believe you just need your bootloader unlocked, and you can flash the original system package and be back to 6.0.

You don't need to be rooted, unlock the bootloader and create a backup using TWRP. The tutorial for this can be found in the general section of the Nexus6P forum .

I'm on Chroma's latest which is very Solid and Stable. But there are some other sweet ones as well...

I'm new/never done an unlock. Does only unlocking (not rooting) affect Android Pay?
Does unlocking burn the 6P "fuse"?

Android Pay is not affected by unlocking the bootloader (or using systemless root). But unlocking will cause your phone to be wiped, so you should save important data manually.
The QFuse is not affected by unlocking the bootloader either, but it is popped by default during the fabrication process. There once was a thread about this somewhere here.
