So finally went out there and was able to connect to a B41 site, One thing is clear, once your connected to B41 it will handoff without issues to different B41 sites. Held connection for about 2 and half hours. The highlight of the day was walking inside a Tmobile store (only 3blocks from a B41 site) and comparing speed test and signal strength. 

 

Tmobile Note 3 -101dBm DL 8mb/sec UL 3mb/sec 75ping

 

Sprint N5 -103dBm DL 28mb/sec UL 11mb/sec 64ping

 

Tmobile Iphone 5S (unknown signal strength) DL 11mb/sec UL 4mb/sec 60ping

 

Sprint N5 -93dBm DL 39mb/sec UL 15mb/sec 55ping

 

Speeds topped out around 62mb/sec with a -77dBm signal 

 

B41 is going to be a force to be reckoned with! 

 

*Also as a side note, Updating PRL seemed to do the trick for me. The key is not having a strong B25 signal but a strong B41 one.

Haven't had much luck with that method as of yet, but I know a good place to try it out on Monday.

I had to walk to a site that was far enough from B25 in order for it to choose B41 over B25, when I tried this method on a co-located site it would connect to B41 for a fraction of a second then switch to B25. But the interesting thing is, it would handoff to that site once I connected to B41.

Had a customer come in today with the rattling issue on his nexus so I shook mine and it does the same thing. Has anyone experienced this at all? I know it's common enough that people have obviously noticed but is it every nexus out there? Or just a select few?

I believe this is due to the image stabilization built into the lenses of the N5.

It is the buttons. The first batch of nexus 5's had this issue.

The rattle could be either a loose power button (supposedly tightened up on later production runs) or the OIS from the camera. Seems like those who find it most annoying are experiencing the button rattle. So many people have posted about it online that I assume it must be more blatant than I can imagine. Reports of it sounding as loud as "coins jingling" seem a bit extreme. Here's one thread; there are many others: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512945

I saw that thread but didn't watch to see what he did to fix it.

Admittedly I didn't search too much due to having the customer right there hovering over me wanting his phone back so I figured I'd ask here just so I knew for next time.

I'm really surprised this wasn't in the list of sprint known issues if it's this prominent.

I guess I have a button rattle. Outside of the case, if I listen, I hear a rattle. It's not loud, but it's there. Back into the case, no rattle.

Updating the PRL is letting my band connect to B41...

 

Your band is connecting to band 41?  Well, rock on!

Apparently Google is up to something as KOT49N has been spotted in the wild on a testing device.

Nothing to see here. The current build is KOT49H. KOT49N is just another build done on the same day.

Is it an international version nexus? I thought the nexus had a few variants based on location?

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
