My battery life improved dramatically after the update, but I was having some terrible battery drain issues under 5.1.1.

It's bad. Well below 50% after 8 hours of barely using the phone.

I know Facebook doesn't help the battery, but there is something else going on here. Here are my stats from today, about 10 hours on battery with less than one hour of screen on time and streaming music for a couple hours. I did uninstall Facebook this morning just to show it isn't the...

I've been having a lot of battery issues lately. I'm on 5.1.1. I've started following a Google thread about a possible "Mobile Radio Active" bug that keeps apps running in the background when not being used, which I think may be happening on my phone. For example I may only use Facebook or...

The issue I'm having with the new photos update is that when scrolling through photo previews, the thumbnails are blurry until I stop scrolling, then they take a second to sharpen. If I'm scrolling fast enough (like anytime using the preview slider) I see blank thumbnails, then blurry...

Speaking to T-Mobile didn't really help. There was apparently no activation necessary on their part. Eventually they just told me there is a known issue with wifi calling disconnecting or dropping calls, and that their engineers are working on a fix with no ETA. He made it sound like it was a...

Thanks for your input, I'll give that a shot when I get home. Since wifi calling is a standard feature for T-Mobile, I didn't think any sort of activation would be required and assumed the error was some generic error the phone was spitting out.

Thanks for the tip. I added an e911 address to my account, which seemed to make it easier to turn wifi calling on, and I haven't gotten the carrier error message again. Unfortunately wifi calling still disconnects after a few hours, so seems like there is another issue somewhere.

I only got the 5.1.1 update last night, but wifi calling has not been stable at all for me. After I enabled it, it took a few reboots and error messages about needing my carrier to activate wifi calling on my account before it actually showed wifi calling in the lock screen or quick settings...

I'm also looking for an alternate camera app. The Nexus 6 is the worst camera experience I think I've ever had - between the excruciatingly slow pictures (people often ask if I'm taking a video) and the multiple crashes. Once I couldn't even open the camera until I rebooted the phone. I find...

That's too bad. I hope you're able to get some answers. Let us know how you make out. I'll chime in if I see the same problem happening again on my end too.

No worries, too many plans out there! ;)

I'm on the $30 plan, the OP is on the 1GB simple choice plan. Everything appears to be back to normal for me today though, with Google Play Music no longer racking up data in the T-Mobile app. I rebooted my phone last night, but I have no idea of that has anything to do with it. Have you...

Just did some more streaming - Pandora works as it should, but Google Play Music (using All Access) is definitely using up data according to the T-Mobile data usage summary. This wasn't happening before today.

Today has been All Access subscription content.
