Placebo effect I guess. I checked the md5's of the radio images just to make sure they're exactly the same and they match, so it can't be the radio.

 

Unless you were running the first L preview radio and not the latest one?

maybe the radio is the same but I concur its better and more usable when combined with the new build, might finally get me off the .15 baseband.

If someone could fire up SignalCheck Pro and see if Alerts are sounding, I would appreciate it -- they were not working on the last preview. Please try both audio and vibrate.. many thanks!

haven't had it on long enough to say but no crazy drain so far.

I'm used to ~3 hrs screen time on my LG G2, but I could leave it alone (standby) for a few days (maybe weeks) because it drains maybe 1% every few hours.  Keep me updated.  I need a phone that's both T-Mobile and Sprint friendly and the N6 doesn't look too good on battery.

Is there a way to install 5.0 directly by downloading to my phone and using TWRP to install? Or do I have to download to my computer and use Fast boot, etc?

fastboot is the only way I'm aware of, but if you flash the pieces individually and skip the user data, and boot loader images you can keep data intact.

I did a flash if the factory image for 5.0 last night and so far things have been pretty smooth. It will take a few days to figure out battery life as there will be lots of caches building etc.. I'm staying stock kernel and no root until I get s feel for how stock performs.

How is battery life on the newest L builds?  Just curious because I might get myself a N5 soon.

 

Battery life seems as bad as usual :)   I'm 6 hours on so far, 56% battery left..  1.5 hours screen on time.   I don't think that is much different than 4.4 performance.

Hmm that doesn't seem too good. Lol

Battery life was never great on the n5. All the reports of people running developer previews of L pointed towards a 30% increase in battery life. Any time you take a big OS update, I think it takes time to get settled in. I would imagine it will improve in the next couple days.

There is some flashable zips on XDA. Thats what I used. Then use CF auto root to get root access again. Just make sure you have the latest twrp installed.

I can confirm that twrp is not compatible with this OS if you encrypt your data partition. Something to keep in mind if you encrypt and want a custom recovery.

Support will come soon enough. The TWRP guy already started work on L encryption.

If I sideload I wouldn't lose any data?

If you know how to use fastboot to flash single partitions, you can preserve your user data by not flashing the data partition. If you flash an OTA zip file (or most flashable zips from XDA), you also won't lose any data. Edit: Flashing an OTA zip file will make your recovery stock, though, if your recovery is custom like TWRP or CWM. It's only if you use the flash-all script that comes with the factory image that wipes user data. The thing with manually flashing is to remember to wipe cache and dalvik cache to prevent any issues.

I'm aware of that but the link shows the ota files. Not the factory images.

    • 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?
