I don't think it's a local issue, as I'm having issues with the stock messaging app too with both sending and receiving MMS messages.

 

Aw, does Josh miss his iMessage with all of his iPhone friends?

 

:P

I didn't say that, but I am definitely going to write a thorough review of my reattempt to try Android that I plan to post to the wall in February when I go back to using my iPhone.

I don't think root is required for adb usage but I wouldn't know as I haven't run a rooted device except during the first few minutes of activation.

I'm assuming you meant unrooted device? But I'll try it before I root it tonight. Its not a big deal as no one here has had any luck with the other bands and I'm just testing this thing out for a few days. Only thing I don't like so far is speaker vs gn2 other than that good to go so far.

The 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 updates include several nice fixes including a huge speaker volume improvement. Update to 4.4.2 before rooting, because you will have to do it over again anyway.

Sometimes I have noticed that my N5 will not be able to find LTE (bare with me I don't think this is CSFB related) and then on cycling the radio it is unable to connect to any signal at all.  3G or LTE.  When this happens I don't think that the phone is scanning for LTE, and then on the cycle it is not scanning for 3G or LTE.

Has anyone else seen this?  Seems like a resetting the phone is the only thing that fixes it for me.

I saw the behavior nice while traveling. Nothing would make it find a signal other than a reset. I sort of chalked it up to having tri-band enabled, but maybe not.

I'm trying to better understand the eCSFB / Band 41 issue with the Nexus 5.  It appears that the device itself is able to get Band 41, a couple confirmations on this forum to prove it.  The reason I'm asking is because in my market we have quite a few confirmed Band 41 sites via an LG G2.  Shouldn't this phone be experiencing the same issues as me when it relates to eCSFB?  Am I missing something?  I understand we should take all B41 connections with a grain of salt because we do not have an official Spark update, I'm just wondering how that would occur.

 

Cannot wait to experience the 60 Mb speeds that show up in Sensorly in areas I can barely use 3g, :D.

 

Thank you for your help in advance.

It has been extremely annoying. Are you guys on the 4.4 radio or the 4.4.1/4.4.2 radio? I want to identify some cause for this if we can. I am on the 4.4 radio.

 

Have you considered that the cause was already figured out and the radio update in 4.4.1/2 addressed this?  FWIW though I do not see any issues.

Certainly, but I don't know that to be the case based solely on what I have seen.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
