LTE keeps dropping

[kclive]

I was just wondering if anyone else has problems with their LTE dropping to 3G out of the blue. This happens when I am at home in a really strong LTE area. My wife's Nexus 6 doesn't do this, it stays in LTE. This only seems to happen to me when I am at home.

I am running the latest PN ROM, latest vendor and gapps, and I have tried numerous kernels. Both my wife and I are using the Verizon sim through Straight Talk.

Thanks for any help or ideas you might have.

I've made a post that mentioned this. There is a issue affecting only the Nexus 6p Phones. Google supposedly fixed the issue. Although Some seems are still having issues. Apparently it's stemming from the GPS. They have a workaround that's helping some. Have your carrier clear your location, disable your GPS, Reboot phone. Uninstall updates for Google connectivity services, and try to update it. And again reboot.

I continued having issues even though they fixed it, so I went cleared out system reflashed stock images, rebooted, via mskip toolkit. Been running pure stock except root, and been working fantastic with no issue. Hope this answers your question. Good Luck!

This has happened to me like... Once or twice since I've owned my 6P (~7 months) on Verizon (Non-MVNO VZW). Flopping airplane mode, Forcing the modem to reassociate would get it to jump back on LTE. The issue I've had more frequently (20-30 times since purchase) is the phone just falling off all data completely.

If VZW LTE coverage in your area is good (It's insane here in Florida) I'd recommend trying forcing LTE only.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* from the phone dialer. Then under the "Phone Information" menu. Hit the drop down that should currently say "LTE/CDMA/UMTS Auto (PRL)" and set it to LTE.

This is going to cause one of two things.
1. It'll fix your problem, Meaning it was actually some kind of provisioning/priority issue. Your phone for some reason couldn't hang on LTE, So it fell back to 3G to maintain connectivity. Even though it would've worked if it would've tried LTE again.
2. You'll still fall off LTE. But this time, Instead of falling to 3G, It'll disconnect completely.

If it ends up being #1, I'd try swapping SIM's with your wife for a day or so, Just to see if it follows the phone or the sim card.
