mikejeep Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 When speaking to this tech, he told me that my issue is characteristic of "an EVDO issue". Just wanted to see if anyone had it...I still have suspicions it may be my phone's antenna.... I have suspicions it may be tech support giving you a line of technobabble that makes no sense.. stay on the phone until someone gives you an answer that at least is plausible. No "EVDO issue" would be relevant to you only having data on B25 and not the other bands you connect to. I apologize if you already mentioned this, but do other devices work properly in this particular area? Have you tried using yours somewhere else? Just trying to rule out a site issue. -Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejeep Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Is anyone else incessantly getting system update notifications? As in several per minute.. I don't want to upgrade yet, but Google is trying to force my hand! I'm guessing the automatic update would fail anyway since I'm rooted with various system customizations, but yikes.. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a bug with an xposed module I have that messes with notifications, but I guess it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusherb Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 This Lollipop update took a few minutes to get used to, I'm glad I read about it from others first. I'm typing on it now and I actually like this new keyboard better, I'm not making as many typos as the KK keyboard. I'm sure someone's mentioned it but I haven't read too far back, I don't like what they've done with the signal or WiFi status indicators! They've dumbed it down and essentially made it useless. OTOH I think I'm holding onto LTE better, though I've only got my T-MOBILE SIM in here so I can't say for sure. Overall I think I like the update! But I feel like they've copied iOS on quite a few things that I wish they hadn't because they essentially destroyed some things that made android android.

coorsleftfield Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I notice that my N5 frequency drops connection to to the tower and reconnects, like every 5 minutes. Signal check pro shows it, and the signal bar goes to zero bars. In a few seconds it's reconnected. This is in 3G. Anyone notice this behavior?

smorcy11 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 So today, my camera kept crashing when I tried to open it. Had to uninstall updates to get it to work. Also, should this phone be set to Global or LTE in the engineering screen and should Band priority be 1, 2 and 3 for 25, 26 and 41? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band priority does not seem to matter, the network will move you to whatever it feels like putting you on after you initially scan and connect. Every time I do a profile update the phone gets put on global, and I change it back to LTE. I'm not sure if it really makes a difference, I don't personally notice any change between global and LTE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Global" mode puts your radio on LTE/GSM/CDMA mode. "LTE" mode puts your radio on LTE/CDMA mode. Sprint users will not see a difference between the two modes because you will never attempt to connect to a GSM network, so it's not relevant. If you happened to put in a SIM for a non-CDMA provider, you would see different options anyway. -Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coorsleftfield Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Ya I'll do that . I think most of it is because I enabled encryption. I knew that would slow it down some but it's borderline unusable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardsfan96 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 From what ive experienced so far this new radio doesn't seem to hold a signal like the previous radio would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanA Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 From what ive experienced so far this new radio doesn't seem to hold a signal like the previous radio would.Exactly the opposite experience here. The new radio definitely improved from 4.4.4. Also to address encryption stuff, that's not what's causing lag. Encryption doesn't really make a huge difference in everyday performance because android does not do a lot of I/O regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCortez Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Is anyone else seeing their phone scan more frequently now after the update? I tend to think my N5 is scanning a lot more now than it did with Kitkat. I just took my phone off the charger at home during my lunch break and now that I'm back at work it has 93% left with only 5 minutes of on-screen time. I came to this conclusion because at work I have pretty poor b41 reception and now with 5.0 I see my phone going from b41, to 3G and even 1x800. I never saw my phone jump around this much with kitkat. According to cell standby my phone has spent 63% of the time without a signal.

rsr_am Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) My recently putchased N5 is on factory lollipop and will not connect to LTE. (new SIM is from TIng - SIMGLW206R). I am in lexington ky . I have to turn off eHRPD to connect to 3G (voice/sms work fine with eHRPD turned off). My other phone Galaxy Nexus connects to LTE just fine at the same location. With eHRPD turned on, there is no data whatsoever. Any pointers.. I am on RingPlus... Did a factory reset, SRCTN and PRofile/PRL update... Have already posted on R+ forums and put in a ticket, thought would post it here too.. Thanks Edited November 25, 2014 by rsr_am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact your provider to make sure they have your SIM serial number registered properly. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
