There is no way to disable b25 completely. At least not to my knowledge. That would be pointless as there is more b25 deployment, and b41 building penetration issues.

I highly doubt that B25 can not be shut down within the settings somehow, Yes there is more B25 deployment in this area.

How do you get to band priorities, just activated my phone...

Highly recommend signal check pro, there's a Dialer code and the program has shortcuts to everything. Click on data and you can go to lte and enter your msl and edit the priorities then the phone reboots

The field test app is essentially the same thing without the ease of access signal check provides(cleaner UI and signal levels right when you open the app).

Saw my lowest signal ever today at the Columbia MO mall(52dbm ehrpd but no LTE). Rocking the .15 radio, I did run into not being able to send some texts while connected to LTE on 70 though (pretty great reception usually around 75-85dbm all the way).

If it could be shut down, it would only shut down scan priorities. It would not block the network from sending you over to B25. The network can send any Triband device to any band it chooses.

That was your highest signal strength.  Your lowest signal would be, for example, if you held LTE down to -135 dBm RSRP.

Finally went to LA to visit my parents, so I decided to finally try out the .15 radio here. Well... It works! This is what I was able to get on band 41. Not as fast as some of the other people I've seen, but definitely great speeds. uploadfromtaptalk1393110483237.jpguploadfromtaptalk1393110494953.jpguploadfromtaptalk1393110531819.jpg

Thank you sir. The people of LA don't like to map much.

When I bought the nexus 5 I figured it would get a quick update due to it being a Nexus. Oh well... I still think it is a battery issue. If they can't get that under control, I'm not sure if they'll release it. A phone that works for only 6 hours is a paper weight.

I left my phone off the charger last night, it had been on for about 20hrs and was down to 76%

Use greenify app

I've had good results with battery guru(average 14-15 hours of moderate-heavy use).

I wish I hadn't read this now I'm thinking of canceling my order until the spark update goes live. It was something I planned on waiting on but I just had poor willpower one day and ordered it. If it doesn't ship by the 24th I may cancel if the S5 looks good.

Regardless, the Nexus 5 is my favorite phone I ever owned. It is very smart, good looking, fast, has quick updates, no bloatware, awesome cases, cheap, a ton of network compatibility, wireless charging, and more.

This is the best device I've owned yet. This will probably be my last phone for at least two or three years. To be honest with you I would have still been using my EVO LTE if the RF performance wasn't so bad.

 

I feel like with this device it has the best of everything and its Tri band so it is future proof until sprint acquire some 600 MHz spectrum.

Edit - also I will not buy another device unless it's a nexus/Google play edition device.

I don't think think the phones battery has anything to do with the delayed update. Using only greenify I'm managing 40-50 hours with light use and 15-20 with moderate use on a single charge. When I am at work I also drive all around the city/county so it's not like I'm sitting in ideal signal all the time either. I also have all the bands enabled, I don't think it makes a difference at all.

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach
    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
