At first, the culprit was thought to be the August Security patch, but Nexus 6 users with old and new firmware, with both official and after-market ROMs have all been affected by the same problem - lack of LTE.
Not every single Nexus 6 user is having these issues. Since the stirring of these issues, T-Mobile has acknowledged the issue and is already working on a solution for its subscribers.
What do you think is causing the issues?
