My CDMA roaming mode was already set to Automatic, so even if that could help it won't help me, but thanks for trying.

 

After looking into this more I think it may be a network handoff issue.  Maybe someone with more knowledge of how the network works can let me know, but when I place a voice call Signal Check reports that I am on 1x800.  According to the NV Complete maps in the sponsor section there is a tower near me that has 1x800 but not LTE and there is a tower near me that has LTE but not 1x800.  My theory is that my phone is switching between these towers depending on what signal type i'm requesting and there is an issue with the handoff.  Does that sound reasonable?

Turn off LTE while in your home. Assuming you have WiFi.

I had a Sprint product development employee reach out to me this morning after reading this thread. His message says:   Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

If one site has been NV cluster launched and the other site hasn't, you will get dropped. I work in a place that has been cluster launched and live in a place that hasn't so any phone call I'm on when I cross the threshold gets dropped.  I'm not sure if that's your issue but if your house is near that boarder that's most likely what is happening.

Re the Spark update. I'm pretty convinced that Sprint is not at fault here. I believe they had it ready to go several weeks ago, but Google, for whatever reason, decided to throw the update in with another update (4.4.3). However, Google's release schedule on that update was not in line with Sprint's anticipated release schedule on the Spark update (early 2014). Moreover, once the update was finalized and released for internal beta testing, they discovered an issue and the has been held back even longer. That's what I think happened. 

 

I wonder if this will make Sprint hesitant to offer an open, cross-carrier device like the Nexus 5 in the future.

I think the point has been made, the posy was deleted, lets move on and continue talkon ways we can help our situations. You can argue all you want it will not get the post back. Just post something that others have known to try,but if it only works for one person it sounds kind of irrelevant. And continued arguing with staff is a good way to end in bannedlandia :P

Don't know if anyone noticed a substantial increase in stability with full blown Gvoice integration enabled. Calls are coming in swiftly and outgoing calls have 0 delay.

 

Lots will be ecstatic to hear that.

This could have something to do with the way the calls are being routed. Considering that hangouts got a nice update yesterday, I would not put it past Google doing some much needed upgrades to address these nagging issues before fully integrating hangouts and Gvoice.

as in something has changed VERY recently?  can anyone else confirm or deny this?  i have always found full GV integration unusable on the N5.

I've never had an issue with full GV integration. I've used it pretty much since it was first offered across a suite of devices. Guess I've been lucky.

Same. Never had an issue with integration. Been using it since it first came out.

I've wanted to use Integrated GV, but I still have mine as separate since I have a second number I use with it and I don't think you can have your Sprint number and GV number fully integrated simultaneously.

I had a gv number before integrating and Google had an option when I was switching over to pay 20 dollars and keep my Google voice number. I doubt much has changed just based on how little other aspects of Google voice have changed since I integrated.

Nope, it's one or the other. I choose to integrate my Sprint number, and kept my old GV number on the side just in case. Can't make calls with it, but can receive calls and texts to that number on my phone.

I stand partially corrected.

No you're still correct, his post doesn't contradict yours.

You do still have to pay to keep the GV number. But I chose to not integrate it, rather than keep it as an extension and integrate my Sprint number.

Can you make outbound calls that show up as the non integrated number?

I still can, but I have mine set up for my Sprint calls to be forwarded there for VM. It handles it well.

I meant with one integrated and one non integrated number on the same account. Per dkoellers comment.

I've always had a slight delay making and receiving calls with full Gvoice integration (but perfectly usable), as of last night it has been lightning fast with outgoing and incoming calls. As if they upgraded the Gvoice backend.

Google just upgraded Hangouts, so could be related, not a fact, but it sure seems that way considering the performance difference.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By wispiANt · Posted

      Historically, T-Mobile has been the only carrier contracting with Crown Castle Solutions, at least in Brooklyn. I did a quick count of the ~35 nodes currently marked as "installed" and everything mapped appears to be T-Mobile. However, they have a macro sector pointed directly at this site and seem to continue relying on the older-style DAS nodes. Additionally, there's another Crown Castle Solutions node approved for construction just around the corner, well within range of their macro. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Verizon using a new vendor for their mmWave build, especially since the macro site directly behind this node lacks mmWave/CBRS deployment (limited to LTE plus C-Band). However, opting for a multi-carrier solution here seems unlikely unless another carrier has actually joined the build. This node is equidistant (about five blocks) between two AT&T macro sites, and there are no oDAS nodes deployed nearby. Although I'm not currently mapping AT&T, based on CellMapper, it appears to be right on cell edge for both sites. Regardless, it appears that whoever is deploying is planning for a significant build. There are eight Crown Castle Solutions nodes approved for construction in a 12-block by 2-block area.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Starlink (1900mhz) for T-Mobile, AST SpaceMobile (700mhz and 850mhz) for AT&T, GlobalStar (unknown frequency) for Apple, Iridium (unknown frequency) for Samsung, and AST SpaceMobile (850mhz) for Verizon only work on frequency bands the carrier has licensed nationwide.  These systems broadcast and listen on multiple frequencies at the same time in areas much wider than normal cellular market license areas.  They would struggle with only broadcasting certain frequencies only in certain markets so instead they require a nationwide license.  With the antennas that are included on the satellites, they have range of cellular band frequencies they support and can have different frequencies with different providers in each supported country.  The cellular bands in use are typically 5mhz x 5mhz bands (37.5mbps total for the entire cell) or smaller so they do not have a lot of data bandwidth for the satellite band covering a very large plot of land with potentially millions of customers in a single large cellular satellite cell.  I have heard that each of Starlink's cells sharing that bandwidth will cover 75 or more miles. Satellite cellular connectivity will be set to the lowest priority connection just before SOS service on supported mobile devices and is made available nationwide in supported countries.  The mobile device rules pushed by the provider decide when and where the device is allowed to connect to the satellite service and what services can be provided over that connection.  The satellite has a weak receiving antenna and is moving very quickly so any significant obstructions above your mobile device antenna could cause it not to work.  All the cellular satellite services are starting with texting only and some of them like Apple's solution only support a predefined set of text messages.  Eventually it is expected that a limited number of simultaneous voice calls (VoLTE) will run on these per satellite cell.  Any spare data will then be available as an extremely slow LTE data connection as it could potentially be shared by millions of people.  Satellite data from the way these are currently configured will likely never work well enough to use unless you are in a very remote location.

      will this work for service in a plane?

      T-Mobile owns the PCS G-block across the contiguous U.S. so they can just use that spectrum to broadcast direct to cell. Ideally your phone would only connect to it in areas where there isn't any terrestrial service available.

      So how does this whole direct to satellite thing fit in with the way it works now? Carriers spend billions for licenses for specific areas. So now T-Mobile can offer service direct to customers without having a Terrestrial license first?
