  1. So what did the average speeds go up to in NYC? And non CA phones saw benefits as well right? I'm trying to hold out on upgrading to a new device.
  2. I noticed this today while at home. Any indication if this is 5x5 or 10x10?
  3. Would all users see an immediate benefit from the shutdown? Even those of us who do not yet have a capable device for carrier aggregation on b41?
  4. When was the shutdown scheduled for your area? Mine was yesterday. I should have elaborated that my signal has been jumping around from SprintB41 to SprintB412 to even SprintB252. So if I had to guess there has to be some additional optimization if the Clearwire gear can now broadcast b41.
  5. Can someone explains what happens now that WiMAX has been shutdown? Within the last half hour here at my house I no longer see Clearwire B41 in SignalCheck but now Sprint 412 with the same GCI that I saw for Clearwire B41 yesterday. Was this to be expected with the shutdown?
  6. Yeah, I agree since having an additional carrier (2xb41) will give you a boost in speeds. I just did a speed test with Tmobile and I got 13.79/16.37 with a 60ms ping here at the office vs 3.86/0.74 with a 158ms ping on Sprint. I sure hope they fix this tower soon.
  7. I would agree if I were using a device that supported it but my old nexus 5 does not. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  8. I'm on the far west side of town. I ran a speed test on b41 by vance jackson and 410 and got 0.93/2.23. Ran the same test when I got home on b41 and got 16.3/12.5. Maybe with wimax shutting down after tomorrow we'll see more consistency. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  9. Just as a note I live not too far from work and connect to another tower and I don't have the latency issue but just sms not being sent. I reported the tower this morning.
  10. Well currently my phone is parked on b41 which is great but I think the tower by my office is really bad. I have consistent pings of 400ms or more. I am at the point where I'm considering switching to either t-mobile or its mvno metro pcs. Speeds used to be great on sprint but it's gone downhill the past several months.

  11. Has anyone noticed slower speeds and texts not being sent? I've been having this problem for over a month now especially at work. I reported the tower today so hopefully something will be done soon. Also, I've noticed my phone jumps around a lot among the 3 bands a lot more than it did in the past. Is this to be expected as certain bands on towers get crowded?
  12. I can't say I've seen the clock issue you described but for the past several months my phone will drop to 3G in the 410/fred area. I drive that way nearly everyday and it happens all the time. The worst part is that my phone ends up being stuck in 3G so I have to toggle the radio to get LTE. I've also noticed my phone jumping around alot more between the three LTE bands. I'm seriously considering leaving and going back to T-mobile. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  13. Occasionally WiFi will cause a massive battery drain but a system reboot will usually fix it. I haven't tracked down the issue yet but it is annoying. Does it happen when your on a WiFi connection? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  14. Great overview Cletus and I agree with you on all points. It seems that our issues are similar with WiFi not wanting to connect to certain networks. Doze has greatly improved standby time and I do feel my SOT has improved. I can get over 2 hours now with 25%-50% brightness. I know others have gotten more but 2 hours is OK for my use. I would like to he 5x but I'm just hesitant to purchase one since I want to see what issues there are with first gen handsets. As it is my GPS is ridiculously flakey and takes over a minute to lock on which was an issue with the first nexus 5 handsets. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  15. But why? I don't think I ever saw this happen on lollipop. At first I thought it was something I did since I decided to enable location and location history but even after disabling that I still see it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
