I had to toggle airplane mode to make the phone disconnect from the b25 tower and connect to the b41 tower.

What kind of backhaul did Clearwire use? I doubt it's a backhaul issue especially since NYC is a wimax market.

Ran some more test and got even worse pings. What could be the cause?

No just the 2 posted

Southern Blvd & E. Tremont

here they are

Band 41 and 25 set to 1 Band 26 off Really good signal strength also

I picked band 41 in the Bronx but the speeds were not impressive. Maybe the tower I was connected to is not completely upgraded. I'll post screenshots in a minute

Not until later Sunday evening. The phone just idles well.

Charged Saturday night before heading out at around 9pm . Couple of hours on LTE 9pm-4am Saturday night. Then all day Sunday and overnight into Monday on WiFi. Finally charging now again.

Not bad. Running Elementax kernel under volted.

+1 for Textra I used to use handcent but the options menu became convoluted and overwhelming.

Not in this case. The hole is very small, paper clips do not fit. I tried at work today.

The Nexus 5 has better reception than my Note 2. That's very impressive. Holds a signal way better .

Black 32GB activated no problem here in NY. Enabled all bands and set band 25 to the lowest priority but still only getting LTE on band 25. The phone seems to be hunting for the other bands because after it boots it takes a little while to fall back on band 25. Too bad you can't disconnect band 25 and leave the other bands active. I got connected to 1x800 though according to SignalCheck.
