I'm guessing there's no more word or info about the update? Weird.

Will playing around with the bands through the Nexus 5 app mess anything up when the spark update comes?

With my Nexus 5 I've wondered about this. Could my phone issues be the result of a bad phone? Did I get a lemon? I wonder how I could find out?

Thank you!

I don't know if I'm missing anything or can't find any info but is there a fairly clear and straight forward guide to the steps that towers undergo to be upgraded to 3G and then to LTE? Is there a way to create such a list or thread for this? If not maybe someone could answer some of my questions that I'm still curious about. I haven't been able to find out what backhaul means and also when towers are waiting to be upgraded could there be an issue with the equipment vendor or the property owner where the tower resides or government permits to get it upgraded? I'm guessing it could be any of these but are there issues more prevalent in some areas or with Sprint overall? What is the difference between acceptance and backhaul? Is acceptance when the equipment has been installed and both the vendor approves it and then Sprint approves it? Thanks in advance for answering these questions and I apologize if they've all ben answered.

One question about the app: I noticed on 3G it shows the name and location (links to Google maps) of the tower under the 1xRTT info, but when connected to LTE it shows sector info but nothing more. Is there a way to show this same location info for LTE or am I missing something?

This app is very cool. Thanks to everyone involved in its creation and feedback.

I'm not too surprised because I am able to pick up a strong 4G signal as I drive up and down Mountain View Corridor. I was going to talk to the business owner that this tower is located on and see if I can get some more info. Even with this tower not done, I'm able to pick up a little 4G in my neighborhood.

This may be a dumb post but I saw this at the nearest tower just today and it looks promising. I'm not sure what it is and I thought you guys could clarify for me. If needed I can get better close up pics. I'm a little confused though because when I took the picture I had my phone on LTE only mode and it was picking up LTE. I only assumed it was for the phone tower because it was right next to it.

Will Sprint do an update to triband phones to enable them to work on Spark officially or did I read info from the past wrong?

This is nice to see. Sprint Spark in Salt Lake. http://newsroom.sprint.com/presskits/sprint-spark.htm

I am a sponsor but sometimes have a difficulty knowing which map is which. Plus a lot of the terminology still confuses me. I have WiFi at home but what happens is as soon as I leave my house and the WiFi is gone the signal drops to almost nothing. Is there a thread or page on here that explains what backhaul and acceptance are along with step by step details of how each tower is updated?

Thanks for all the info. Sorry for getting upset or almost crossing the line. I'll behave better. Just gets frustrating with Sprint sometimes.

I kind of thought the tower nearest me would have been done by now with the SoftBank buyout and their proposed T-Mobile merger. According to Sprint it could take up to 6 months.

I'm having issues with my Nexus 5 with typing and especially the swype feature. I use the stock swype and for the last couple weeks it freezes up a little during typing and does crappy auto corrects? Anyone having this issues?
