Leg, arm, or nose? :rofl:

 

 

Nope.  Give me a break of your KitKat, all you Android version obsessives.

Still waiting on the OTA. At this rate I'll be side loading it when I get home. Side note, las Vegas on 4.4.2 is a nightmare.

 

Haha, I got the ota, and Vegas is still a nightmare. It seems there is LTE everywhere, except where I need it. I haven't gotten band 26 or band 41 after the update so don't hold your breath.

Yep, there is a beta xposed module called xHalo that is reported to do just that. Here is the info from XDA...[MOD][XPOSED][iCS/JB/KK] XHaloFloatingWindow beta2.34 - Movable & Resizable Halo Popup for Xposed FrameworkLet us know how it works for you.Sent from my "Up All Night Sleep All Day" Nexus 5!

So I havehad time to play with it but it can be very very glitchy. I have more preference for the pop up window after playing with it but the multiwindow has an advantage because it let's me have quick access to other apps without having to exist the app I'm in.

You could flash Paranoid Android and use hover. /shameless plug (I'm a dev)

It work well with Signal Check Pro? GCI/PCI viewable?

Sprint may have flipped a csfb switch in my area on Band 41. I am on the .13 radio, and I've had all bands enabled all morning. I have not switched over to 3G once. I went up to a usual trouble spot, where I was previously guaranteed to be thrown to 3G on .13, and I was not pushed to 3G. My phone even moved over to Band 41 and stayed there, but then moved back to Band 25 when I got further away.

 

I don't know if this is related to my complaint on the Sprint forums I wrote here:

https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/162466

 

I am going to stay on .13 with all bands enabled for further testing.

I think I'm just going to hang out on .15 until I stop seeing sites around me that report "telephone calls unavailable" in SignalCheck Pro. There are a few places I go that are more NV complete than my home, and so far flashing .13 before I head there has given me good results. Texas Motor Speedway and Lakeview, TX on .13 are pretty great. So is Saginaw.

Still waiting for the OTA here as well. I thought the rollout was to be completed by today. In that case I guess I just might be last on the list. Story of my life!

Do not give up hope I just got the update.

Just received OTA notification.

 

Should I update and degrade my reception? Or, is this truly a Sprint network issue which one would experience anyway when not upgrading?

Update it contains lots of bug fixes. If it degrades your reception just flash the .15 radio.

no one can really answer that, it is all dependent on the areas you are frequently at and at what stage of upgradeness they are at.

 

If you area is plagued by ECSFB issues, then you may end up on 3g alot until those sites are upgraded.

 

If you are in a mature market, then likely you will have better coverage due to additional lte800 and lte2600 availability.

Nexus 5 for signal. G2 for battery, camera and features.

I want to go back to android and it's down to two phones, the LG G2 or the Nexus 5. I live in a rural and fringe area. I have the iPhone 5s right now and my signal goes from 1-2 bars 3G. Which one would be the best choice?

If I were you I'd wait a few weeks for G3 information before going through with a purchase, especially since it sounds like youll be paying close to retail if you have a 5S now.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • 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.
