I had a Nexus 5 once but switched to an iPhone 5s. Needless to say i miss the Nexus 5. I switched because the signal on the Nexus 5 in my house was worse then the iPhone 5s. I wasn't sure if maybe it was a bug or not. Will the update to 4.4.3 fix this?

The nexus 5 has better signal reception than any other device out right now. You are likely hitting issues with sprints network that get covered up by devices that don't use ecsfb (iPhone) or devices that use svlte

I can personally attest to the nexus beating the 5s hands down. I also have a 5s in my household and my n5 pulls usable 3g(.5-1mb down off a legacy tower -I think lol-), or band 26 where as the 5s is essentially a brick from 10am-7pm. So the hours when our towers(I live by an interstate) are constantly loaded.

Now my wife's nexus doesn't ring on LTE. Starting to wonder if it's the network. Except when mine first started to mess up hers worked fine. This is kinda frustrating.

Tried switching back and Sprint gave me some error message on their web page. I'll try again tomorrow. For now I'm on the EVO but it is definitely no Nexus.

I have never been able to activate my N5 using the automated system on Sprint's website, but I can swap other phones just fine. Opening a chat usually takes care of it very quickly.

Same here. Other phones work great. N5 swap requires a chat.

The issue is the account, not the device.  Some of us have accounts of a certain age and/or with certain quirks that require manual intervention for phone activation.

When I first got my nexus I activated it on the web just fine. But this time it required a chat.

I remember because it takes so long for the system to recognize that the n5 was taken off, it takes 24-48 hours for it to be able to be activated online. After swapping my n5 for the g2, it still said I was using a N5 for a day or two after and wouldn't let Mr switch back withouta chat or call.

The website finally started supporting my N5 just last week. I haven't tried to swap phones but I can finally do things like add a hotspot plan without opening a chat session or calling.

Link?  I brought my USB cord with me to work today just in case.  :D

 

Edit: Nevermind.  Simple Google search found it.

De ja vu! Another carrier reporting the update! Does that mean we have another month and a half to wait? :-)

    • 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?
