JonnygATL Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It doesn't have to be a nexus. Wouldn't any triband device provide the same result? Spark update or not. Shouldn't matter. Sent from my Nexus 5 I don't think so because it wouldn't be apples to apples, right? Because this phone really isn't triband yet. Not until the update. I may be missing something...?

JonnygATL Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Use any Tri-band device in a sprint store. Spark is not going to solve ecsfb issues. If those devices are connecting fine to LTE then it is your device. If they aren't connecting then I would say ecsfb. Oh OK I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be missing something...? No. It's still triband, single-path device. It should be an easy, 1 minute troubleshoot in a sprint store, or a friend with a triband sprint phone.

cdk Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Ericsson has been busy forgetting to add eCSFB to sites all over again with band 26. There are a bunch of sites now that already had eCSFB active on band 25 which are now screwed up after their band 26 additions. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I skimmed the article and I don't believe that is what its implying. It simply stated leaked HTC release dates for devices that will receive 4.4.3 updates and devices essentially being discontinued from further updates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr8nuguy Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 talks about release dates for htc devices- yes, but not nexus devices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle_4thousand Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It's kind of vague in that aspect I guess. That's what I got out of reading it, but they could just be referring to HTC specific updates. but maybe it could be part of the reason, maybe not. Just thought it would be interesting to see what you guys thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with 4.4.3 for nexus 5 or other manufacturer releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippychance Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Does the One having a google play edition model come in to play with this HTC article? Perhaps that is the holdup? Or is it Nexus > GPE Handsets > Dispersed to big 4 EDIT - And there I go reading the entire article and figuring it out for myself.

I don't read that in the article. Google isn't holding up the release because of HTC or any other phone manufacturer. It just says that HTC is testing the version that it has. Gotta be mobile is a bad news source. All they do is sum up other information already available. They never have original content.

Dkoellerwx Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Oh OK I see. I just quoted your last post, but this goes to the rest of the conversation. Everything you have post previously, and what you have posted today still confirms my thought that you have a defective device. There should be NO CSFB issues in your area. And you have been having this problem since before B26 could have even caused an issue. You have a defective device. Since you bought it from Sprint, you should be able to get support from them. If not, elevate to Google. You should not be having such a terrible time on the network. The Nexus 5 has the most powerful LTE reception of any device that Sprint currently offers. Anywhere another device gets LTE, you should get LTE too. In the very minimal, practically null chance that it is a CSFB issue, compare against *ANY* other Tri-Band device to see if they are having issues. Until you do that, no one here can help you any more than they already have. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Why is this difficult? Put into LTE Only mode. Drive around. If you are getting normal LTE signals where you go, the problem is CSFB. Also, you can compare with other Spark devices. It won't hurt anything. Because if it's CSFB, it will affect them all, not just the N5.
