mm2kay Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I live in Miami. Would have been nice for the update for band 41 but there's no band 26 yet. I'm sure the update will drop once band 26 is enabled though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexgencpu Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Take this with a grain of salt, my conversation with Sprint CS chat yesterday.. Alfred Y.: AL, I have checked and I can see new software update for the Nexus was started from April 17th, 2014 and it can be updated automatically Over The Air by April 21st, 2014 on all the Nexus 5 devices. Alfred Y.: You do not need to do anything. I will be available anytime on your device. Customer: Ok Customer: hopefully that still is the case Customer: I found it odd Customer: that sprint removed the information from there site Customer: It was there the 14th Alfred Y.: Yes, you are absolutely correct. Earlier it was available from April 14th. But we have not received any software from Google for the Nexus 5 devices. That is the reason, it was Postponed and now it was available from April 17th, 2014 At the very least he acknowledged the fact that it was removed.

caspar347 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Based on what I've read from a variety of sources, Sprint has very little to do with Nexus updates. Nexus updates are handled like iPhone updates. All Sprint has to do (and all that Sprint is allowed to do) is make sure the update does not break network compatibility. It has been completely up to Google this whole time. And, to a lesser extent LG engineers. This whole thing is just hilariously ironic. Sprint and VZ didn't get the N4 because they wanted too much control over updates and would slow them down. Now that Google is fully in charge, the updates that pertain to Sprint are taking forever. We just can't win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
though Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'm inclined to believe your statements but you haven't given any proof of a reliable source so it makes me skeptical.

Dkoellerwx Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Well you're certainty honest. Usually a positive thing lol. Um..stock. I wouldn't have any clue how to change that. I still maintain you have a faulty device. There should be no CSFB issues in downtown Atalanta. Sent from my Nexus 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpenceSouth Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I like that they fixed camera problem. But please fix other bugs. 16:9 aspect ratio to be supported soon as well! They are making some good improvements that make me miss the EVO LTE's camera less and less. The new icon is a little much though lol.

stlman314 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Migrated from Original Forum. Originally Posted 01 August 2011 - 10:47 AM Protection Site Black List! These cities will not likely be getting protection sites. The reason is, in these cities Clearwire is already broadcasting on 2.5GHz. So they are meeting FCC licensing requirements for minimum coverages already in this spectrum. The problem for Sprint users, is that they are broadcasting their legacy Pre-WiMax signals here. Not WiMax. So your Sprint devices don't detect it! Aberdeen/Hoquiam WA Anchorage AK Anderson CA Bend OR Carson City NV Central Point OR Chico CA Chippewa Falls WI Clarkston WA Cohasset Beach/Wesport WA Corning CA Dayton OH Duluth MN Eagle River AK Eau Claire WI Fernley NV Grants Pass OR Hermantown MN Klamath Falls OR Incline Village NV Jacksonville OR Lewiston ID Longview TX Madras OR Medford OR Middletown OH Minden/Gardnerville NV Moscow ID Myrtle Creek OR Orland CA Paradise CA Prineville OR Proctor MN Pullman WA Red Bluff CA Redding CA Redmond OR Reno/Sparks NV Roseburg OR St. Cloud MN Shasta Lake CA Sisters OR South Lake Tahoe CA Springfield OH Stateline/Kingsbury NV Superior WI Wenatchee WA When Clear first started deploying their WiMax networks, they started with their Pre-WiMax markets first. Many, like Boise, Idaho and Jacksonville, Florida had their towers coverted from pre-WiMax to WiMax. However, about halfway through these conversions, Sprint started releasing WiMax devices and pressuring Clear to switch to major metro areas (which of course makes a lot of sense). And then, as we all know, about halfway through the major market rollout, Clear started running into financial problems. Since they were running out of time to meet FCC Minimum Coverage Standards, they have largely abandoned Major Market Rollouts and running around and setting up Protection Sites. However, the cities listed above are likely not to ever get protection sites. The Old Clearwire Pre-Wimax signals are still being broadcast in these cities, and they have pretty substantial coverage areas. So Clearwire is just going to jump right over them. And since Sprint (and likely Clear too) are migrating toward LTE, it is likely these cities WILL NEVER see WiMax signals. Sad! Cities the size of Dayton, Anchorage and Reno are secondary markets. This is a major oversight by Clear and Sprint. Tsk, tsk! Not to mention the major oversights of the primary markets of San Diego, Phoenix, Detroit, Memphis, Indianapolis, Birmingham... Call again. That is the first I'veheard them deny someone Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused.. you went into the store to ask about the Spark update for the Nexus 5, and not only did they show you their e-mail, but they gave you a free Galaxy Tab as well? -Mike 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 5 You may very well be correct. But the technicians at the store near my house have zero interest in looking into it. I think i pissed them off by knowing more about Sprint's network than they do....thanks to s4gru!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they said they couldn't give me the number. To get my MSL I called and said I app development so I need the MSL to get systems logs to verify the apps are running smoothly. I asked about my msl.

Got a free galaxy tab out of the deal. Sprint is in a state where they want subscribers so look like they are growing on their financial statements, even though they are handing out devices for free. All about the continuous cash flows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 So I've had my n5 off my Sprint account for a week, and was running a T-mobile prepaid sim for kicks. I wanted to re activate my n5 on my account, and it just wouldn't work. Sprint could not get it activated. I purchased this from Sprint and it came with a Sprint sim. Any ideas why the phone just won't pick up Sprint signal after being on T-Mobile for a week? Thanks, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
