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

With the N5 i get usable LTE around -99dbm-109dbm at my desk which usually I was on 3G or unusable LTE on the GNex and no LTE at all with the HTC One unless I was near the front door. Also in my house I get around -95 -105 downstairs and better upstairs. So far this thing is a beast.

Initial Testing of RF strengths...Using Speedtest.net as the basis, using the Tampa, FL server.

 

LG G2 has a -98dBm signal on average in this spot.  Nexus 5 has -94 dBm on average in the same spot. 

 

I did 3 speed tests in a row on both of them within 2 minutes.

LG G2 scored;

16.57 DL 3.92 UL

18.67 DL 4.61 UL

17.18 DL 3.77 UL

So it averages 17.47 DL, 4.1 UL for the G2.

 

Nexus 5 scored;

13.03 DL 4.45 UL

13.60 DL 5.77 UL

13.86 DL 4.24 UL

So it averages 13.50 DL, 4.82 UL for the Nexus 5.

 

Overall, the G2 is a lot better in LTE performance in terms of speeds, however if the Nexus 5 can hold onto a signal better then it'll likely be better.  I wont be able to test the Nexus 5's reliability until early next week (streaming in the car compared to the G2.)

 

I should also test 3G but I need to borrow my brother's phone line for such. Lol

I am also having issues where calls and texts are not going through. I disabled and renabled google voice. hopefully that fixed it.

I've had Google voice integration since it was first offered. However, I set it to not use Google voice for calls, just texts and voicemail. So far, I have not had any issues at all.

That's how i have it set too, but yesterday calls and texts were not coming in. Updated PRL and Profile and all of the texts came through. Then this morning my boss called me at the office and said he had been trying to get ahold of me all morning. Disabled GV and then renabled it and redid all of the Sprint integration. When it was complete my profile and PRL updated automatically and all of my texts came pouring in. I hope that solved the issue.

Check out the band priority with one of our members connected to b41 with his n5 http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4950-sprint-spark-official-name-for-the-tri-band-network-was-sprint-to-demo-its-25ghz-network-technology/?p=241696

 

Edit: we could've been using the wrong band priority this whole time. I have a feeling the priorities should be b41 at 0 b25 at 1 and b26 at 2( is 2 an option?) since his device wasn't connected to b26 which was at 0 it jumped to b41. What do u guys think?

Ok just backing you up then. I thought a picture to show it works would be helpful as some still say the N5 won't do B41 yet.

well personally I have tried both combinations but didn't have any luck, so I think there is something else besides the band priority.

 

Besides, priority should not prevent something from ever connecting at all, only what to scan for first.

I picked band 41 in the Bronx but the speeds were not impressive. Maybe the tower I was connected to is not completely upgraded. I'll post screenshots in a minute

where in the Bronx?

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
