The Nexus 6 Android 5.1 Lollipop Thread

[Debbie Wood]

I need help set up Motorola moto x xt1022

 

[Robbie317]

I have Sprint, and I got this phone in November. I've been awaiting a fix for my SMS issues since then.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not trying to flame here. I just found it strange that other updates took so long to get to the Nexus 6 compared to the other current Nexus devices is all. I love my device, and Android 5.0. I just think an announcement and roll out go better together than spaced apart

OUCH.. Sprint... I am sorry... I was with Sprint for 15 years.. Finally dropped them for T-Mobile when the Nexus 5 came out...

Side load the update from the factory image if you think it will greatly improve your situation with Sprint....

 

[Robbie317]

Yes, they are. It's the modern day sense of entitlement. "I want it all, and I want it now!" Heaven forbid we should have to wait for anything. I had resigned myself to waiting as long as it took to get 5.1. No big deal, my phone (nexus 5) was working just fine on 5.0.1

Exactly... I have zero issues with my Nexus 6 on 5.0.1.... It works perfectly... I am more interested (and only very slightly) in the 700 mhz band 12 here in Dallas for better building penetration... Even with that I am not in a "I NEED IT NOW" mode.... Only a few places that building penetration is an issue... and only a slight issue...

Sideloaded the update here.... Big speed difference. Actually feels faster than my wife's moto X 2014. Before, it was noticeably slower.

Added advanced calling?

Yes. I had to log into my verizon account online to add the feature to my plan. Once I did that I restarted my phone and it worked.

Does anyone know of a stable flashable 5.1 unencrypted ROM?

None turns off your alarm. Mute did not. Those of us using the phone as bedside clock appreciate the heck out of the old mute.

True. I use priority during the night so that I can still be reached in case of emergency, but I understand that's not everyone's cup of tea. The new iteration of none however should solve this problem, as you can chose to end none at the time of the next alarm.

I noticed this when I was sending texts on my phone earlier. I never got an error saying that they didn't go through but it did take longer for them to send. I am on Verizon with a Nexus 6.

Just installed 5.1 Verizon Visual Voicemail works fine and so does the Nexus My Verizon app.

 

[bkircher]

Ugh, at least it's not just me. I bet google will pull the update because of this.

I most definitely get an error saying it doesn't send, sometimes it takes multiple attempts to send a text.

It may be a network issue in your area.

If you are using an ad blocker make sure you have Verizon white listed.

What is it?

 

[diamond.g]

I believe they are referring to Voice over LTE.

I will be unrooting, sideloading and rerooting this weekend.

[radgatt]

What is it?

The feature is called Advanced Calling 1.0, and it is needed in order to get the simultaneous voice and data working properly if you're on Verizon.

I believe they are referring to Voice over LTE.

Exactly.

Mav, I'm using wugfresh to try and sideload but it's telling me that I don't have the adb sideload driver or something like that. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
