Google Nexus 5 by LG Users Thread!

Have you tried updating your profile?

 

Several times, PRL as well.

[HTCandroid]

Set it like this....

 

 

Got this....

 

 

Ideally wouldn't we want bands 41>25>26 so band 26 is if you are in a building or far from the nearest cell site?

[dbsynergy]

Has anyone been able to get LTE on a 32GB Black?

 

I got it activated no problem, but have been in known LTE areas where my EVO 4GLTE would pick up strong LTE quickly and have not gotten anything on the N5. After a reboot or airplane toggle, the LTE logo flashes on the signal bars and then the phone goes back down to eHRPD. Not sure if this is a graphical glitch or if it is having trouble authenticating ?

 

More MEID issues? Issues with my SIM? Any ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem.

Its going to take some tuning, because you only have "0" and "1" as the options to choose. But I think I will stick with 1. 800 2. 1900 3. 2600

Hmmmm. I wonder how SignalCheck gets both the GCI and PCI then.

By asking the OS for the info. Simple.

Looks like we're not out of the woods yet 

 

Has anyone with a 32GB white OR black successfully gotten LTE?

I think I will want 26 over 25 since 25 is dead in a some places now.

 

Can and anyone post EVDO and 1X engineering screens when on EVDO? I am on EVDO most of the time around my parts.

Yes.  Unless you are out trying to find LTE 800.  Once Band 26 is pretty ubiquitous, then leaving it as a higher priority is probably a good idea.  However, everyone needs to understand that with Sprint's network management scheme now in place, they can force you off to another band than something you put as a higher priority.

 

For instance, you put Band 26 as highest and Band 25 is lowest.  But Band 26 hits a determined network trigger point in traffic, you can be shunted against your will to another Band.  Since the control is between your SIM profile and the network controls, there is nothing you can do about it.

 

All you SIM lovers who have been harping for years just discovered the achilles heel in the SIM system.  You may be able to swap your card, and have an unlocked device, but now you are subject to the Draconian network controls of your wireless carrier.  Band priority is neat, but the ultimate control is handled via the network now, folks.

My nexus 5 is behaving just like the Lg G2 I had it won't connect to LTE unless I force a connection. Starting to get frustrated

I have tried talking to my girlfriend and the voice is horrible, she can't hear me at all...."broken as all hell" as she puts it.

32GB white successfully activated and getting LTE

[lordsutch]

Based on my LTE usage so far in the last 24 hours, and assuming T-Mobile doesn't have some magic LTE distance enhancing powers, the Nexus 5 should blow away my EVO once I have the Sprint SIM on board. The only issue seems to be connecting to LTE in the first place; it really wants to stay on HSPA if it's even thought of having a data session in the last minute or two.

Awesome.. Like it so far!

 

Do you see a service option and/or RC fwd/Rev on the 1x side of things?

[dbsynergy]

If SO and Rx FER is what you mean, then yes

Wings don't matter, they are in the East....haha

[aerxx]

I have tried changing my settings, seems like the voice doesn't get any better....I don't know what is going on. Opening a ticket with Sprint.

[sarcoptic]

So is there a mutual agreement about band priority or not  Just wondering what is the best setup?  Thanks fellas!
