Oh God Oh God Oh God!

Now I am thinking I went wrong moving to the Gnex! I moved from my beloved NS4g to the Gnex as I had no WIMAX in my location within the North Texas market, and as I posted here I am having signal issues, insofar as my experience is not lining up to the map.

But, I LOVE my unlocked toroplus with stock jb!

 

I got the phone 2 weeks ago, and now am thinking I should switch it with the gs3....

 

Thoughts???????????/

That's what happens when you play the waiting game, the next beast phone will always be right around the corner. So just get a evo lte or a gs3 and call it a day, it makes the wait for the next best

I agree. The 28nm qualcomm is a HUGE step up from the GNEX. The quad core 28nm qualcomm will come this fall, greatly improving performance but battery life will probably remain roughly the same.

To me, the GNex feels like a Vanilla Android version of the GS-II with LTE capability. The GS-III is definitely a whole 'nother animal compared to the GNex.   Robert

I have the GNex, EVO LTE, LG Viper and GS3. I like the GS3 best over all of them, but definitely over the GNex. I had so many signal issues/data connectivity issues with the GNex that I was going bonkers. However, the GS3 is a very solid radio performer.

That hits my feeling right on the head! I'm driving around doing speedtests, seeing bandwidth drops thinking to myself that this performance dropoff is as bad as wimax in terms of signal strength to distance!

I may be visiting the store tomorrow!

Are you talking about lte performance? I will say this, my evo gets an higher average speed on lte the my gnex does but on the other hand my gnex basically stays connected to lte no matter what versus my evo dropping the connection once the lte signal gets relatively low.

OK Gotcha, in those terms I may have an issue as my gnex behaves in the manner which you describe the evo, i.e. dropping the signal.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Looks like another T-Mobile 5G bump happened over the past week and a half, maybe less: n41 carriers are now 90+100 MHz, up from 80+100 (which in turn is up from 40+100 back in early March). This is on top of the new n25 carrier recently. As part of this, it looks like T-Mobile is starting to prefer n25+n41 2CA even when pushing data, rather than having higher levels of CA that would hit higher peak speeds; at least indoors I need to force n41-only if I want to see the full 190 MHz there. To be fair the speeds are plenty quick with that amount of spectrum, and I'm sure they're load balancing, and my guess is this is a little better for battery life? With this expansion, they're now at 10x10+10x10 n25, 15x15 n71, 100+90 n41, for a total of 260 MHz (including FD uplink) of deployed NR here, up from 250 MHz a week ago, 230 MHz two weeks ago, and 190 MHz six months ago. VZW is at 140 MHz minus mmW, 170 if you count n2 DSS. AT&T is at 150 MHz (80+40 n77, 15x15 n5), 210 MHz I think if you count n2 and n66 DSS (guessing they're still running those). With this level of spectrum they should be able to continue offering home internet wherever. Guessing this is the last upgrade they can make before they need to throw new equipment on sites for C-Band. At this rate I figure that'll happen next year on a few dozen high-traffic sites.

      My wife has a Pixel 8 Pro and has no complaints. I have an S22U and I get slightly better signal than her but 99.9% of the time, its not noticeable.

      My favorite is the nexus 6.  Love the form factor also.

      Well it's the newest Pixel, so I'm guessing at least a few of us are out there, myself included! I have had almost every Google phone since the Nexus 4. The Nexus 5 might be my all-time favorite for what it was at the time, but I love my Pixel 8. No real drawbacks for me, but I can't give a personal comparison to the S22.
