caspar347 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgcrockett Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 A .03 bump is not going to change performance very much at all. You're seeing normal variation in signal. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uecker87 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destroyallcubes Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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.

Mooeydj Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

uecker87 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 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.

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. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
