I had a Sprint product development employee reach out to me this morning after reading this thread. His message says:   Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

Finally got lollipop installed on my 5, loving it so far. :D

I installed it one my phone and my wife's phone over the old developer preview. Much improved! I'm excited to go try out B41 and see if the upload now works. I've never got higher than 0.00 on B41 and I hope it isn't my phone and was just the old android L.

Working fine for me. B41 inside my house on a slow tower. :P

Update on the new base band. Went on a foray down through st Louis today (road trip to pappy's BBQ) and I dropped b41 twice the whole trip. Once was purely because I went into a giant metal building. It holds onto b41 like a beast, multiple times I got down to a -140dbm signal and it was still holding steady and working fine. Apps started to time out once it got down to -145dbm though, and that's when it dropped the signal for b26. This radio is definitely my new favorite daily driver, and new favorite overall excluding the .15 radio for occasionally bypassing ecsfb/csfb issues.

I was in downtown STL last night with the new radio and it loves to hold on to weak band 41. I never observered -140dBm. -125 was the lowest I saw before getting pushed to band 25/26. It also holds on to weak band 25/26 better than previously. Overall great improvement from 4.4.4.

Well that's odd, signal check reported a -141dbm I know for a fact. That's when I opened up the engineering screens because I couldn't believe it xD.

 

I believe you, I just don't know how it happened. I just double-checked and if RSRP < -139, the app will (should?) report no LTE. These new signal possibilities might complicate things, because I know several devices report -140 when disconnected, but I am working on a way around it.

Possible fluke with android L? If I'd known I'd have grabbed a bug report...I'm traveling up 70 to KC tomorrow where I should encounter some fringe LTE. I'll try to keep a semi close eye on my phone and see if I can't replicate it again.

So My broken nexus replacement, the Note 3(Thanks asurion...) was just traded for a GS5. Just to saw I have actually had better band 26 on the GS%, than the N5 had on its best Days. I am suprised to see it, but It looks like the Nexus RF performance has degraded substantially. Speaking of SCP I thought I saw a few times on my m8 it say -150 on band 26 with the spinning wheel going like crazy, possibly a fluke.

The new version of Android L fixed my B41 upload problem! Now I can use B41. I got 50 mbps download at John Wayne Airport in OC.

I never used the first one but this versions modem seems much better than stock on 4.4.4.

Has anyone noticed any decrease in download and upload speeds? Before I flashed to lollipop I was getting roughly 50/14 at my house. However now I'm only averaging 32/10. While I can't sure I want to say that the UL and/or DL channels used to be 65535 but now I'm seeing 40521 most of the time.

65535 isn't a valid channel. Its probably just network load or some other thing causing the reduction in speed.

Lots of incompatible apps. Hulu, watch espn

This happens with every android update. For some reason (preventing update-related app crashes?) many video apps have code that specifically checks for the android version and closes if the version of the device doesn't specifically match with one of the versions on the whitelist. Personally, I think its a bit stupid to completely deny use of the app if the android version isn't "approved" yet, even though the app may work fine on the new version. A simple "there may be issues with this android version" popup on opening the app should suffice.

Has anyone noticed a problem with the latest developer preview? I have only seen good things so far... very tempting...

My preliminary observation on B25 LTE connectivity is that is doesn't hold on quite as good. I generally got 4g in the 2nd floor of my house for a few minutes, and now it goes straight to 3g after I un-airplane my phone. This could be sprint tweaking though. I do notice my phone doesn't get stuck in 1x mode as often though.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
