A .03 bump is not going to change performance very much at all. You're seeing normal variation in signal.

I watched the number until it stabilized. 1.16 was steadily between -97 and -98 after sitting on my table untouched for about 2 minutes. .15 was at a steady -92 to -93 after 2 minutes. Same exact place. No environmental changes.

That doesn't make any sense. They could tweak one (or several) settings that could make a difference in radio performance from any version to any version. It doesn't have to be a X.0 release to change that.

 

Or, conversely, an X.0 release could do nothing for radio performance.

Could mean nothing, but I kept a B26 signal in areas that on my way home from work with the .13 radio I dropped to 3G. 

 

I will do much more in depth comparisons tomorrow.  A storm rolled in so I cut my drive a little short. 

 

Also --- probably a placebo effect --- but I was noticing much better transitions to B26.  Numerous times lately my phone would go straight from B25 to 3G in areas with B26 active (no eCSFB issues here.  Very mature B25 and B26 area).  Never dropped to 3G on my ride throughout town just now.

Can someone get a good dbm comparison to 1.13?

Well I found it hangs on to the Fringe b26 signal better at my house, was at -120 and staying. Got 3Mbps on it.

Good. One of the main problems with 1.13 was addressed.

There are all kinds of factors that could affect signal, even in short time periods. It's been said before and I'll say it again: signal level is a poor method of comparing radios.

 

That said, the new radio definitely holds LTE better. I just drove a route where I usually dropped LTE and it was held the entire time.

I have a question unrelated to the current chat. Ever since I got the Nexus 5 I have not received any of those emergency messages, even the test message. I have everything enabled. Anybody else? I always got them with the Evo 4G LTE. I know some people don't want them, but it would be nice to get them if you do.

I was thinking about that recently. I haven't gotten a single one either. And I really need to. A few months ago, there was an Amber Alert that went out, and I only found out because people's phones around me were going off. I get called back to work when those kinds of things happen.

I do have debug options and test messages enabled, and I have indeed received test messages, but I've never received any legitimate ones. I think digiblur has though.

I've gotten all of them, in fact I had to turn off amber alerts because I am more interested in the weather alerts...weird.

Has anyone with B41 in their area tested out the new radio? I remember hearing that it was pretty weak on B41 compared to other Spark devices... I would be interested in hearing if the new radio helps at all with it.

I got a test alert within the last day, but I don't recall seeing anything else. I don't know if there just haven't been any around me or I'm not receiving them.

Weird.

 

 

What do you use as your texting app? Do you use Google Voice integration?

I use hangouts, and also have full Google voice integration. When I got the test, it didn't appear to come up as SMS or anything I had seen before. My entire screen faded out showing only the wallpaper and a giant notification window. It certainly wasn't anything like my EVO had for alerts.

    • 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?
