So basically the .15 radio removes the feature that kicks the phone down to 3G when the LTE site can't setup the 1x tunnel?

yes, pretty much the only downfall I found. Your phone would sit there connected to lte but unable to receive calls and texts.

 

Edit: the band 41 goodness is worth the risk. I've only encountered that issue with one tower

It does like to connect to donut sites...and those donut sites for me are having ecsfb issues as well. Hmm I think Ericsson has a reason for donut sites

Donuts are simply LTE sites with the authorization path for all devices turned off, that has nothing to do with CSFB.  There's usually an issue that needs correcting or an employee/crew that needs firing.

Maybe those are the sites I'm running into when I try the prl trick for b41 connectivity

You need a good donor site to hand you off into a donut site. Then you have to hold a constant data connection otherwise it kicks you off. A ping session works great.

So I finally unlocked and rooted the phone. I was able to back up all my app data and restore it to the way it was before hand (extremely handy since I hate setting up new phones from scratch)

 

So far, I flashed over the Dalvik and Bionic optimizations and installed Xposed Framework. I'll post an update later or some time tomorrow to see if it helps with any overall improvement.

P.S. If I had known how painless and easy it was to root a Nexus device I would be doing it in my sleep. So happy, there are one click methods :D

That was too close. Got a wild hair after lunch went to Play. Google. Com and was going to fill in CC info and hit buy but its slipped to shipping in 2 weeks verses 1-2 days. I guess I was ment to wait and see S5 official specs before I pull the trigger.

So I got my Nexus today, I am noticing it is connecting EV-DO and not the eHRPD. Cycling does not seem to change it. my EVO still Shows eHRPD

 

You have not enabled LTE in settings, or you have a SIM card authentication issue.  Those are the two most likely explanations.

Old news.. this rumor has popped up several times over the past couple of years. Several sites "confirmed" that the Nexus 4 would be the final one, including the same Russian blogger that this article is sourcing. Guess they pulled a TV weatherman on that one..

 

:P

    • 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?
