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.

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?

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
