I wouldn't mind a little more (or some/any) penetration in my house. {insert witty pun here}

While the radio is much better than my gs3, i miss digiblurs Prl prioritizing 800. I find the signal is just strong enough so it bounces back between CDMA and 800mhz in my concrete building

What's the difference between the premier and regular Prl?

 

Is there any adverse consequences to flashing the boot. IMG of the g2 onto a nexus 5?

Thanks

you restart afterwards so it boots into the normal boot file. The boot.IMG isn't flashed but just a temp boot code. Its not permanent. Idr the differences. They all worked the same in my area. Just enabled the scanning of different area 800 sid which helped me connect as Ericsson set the 1x800 here to one in Washington state

I caught this one on sale. I have read numerous places the wires charges works with it. I think it just looks sharp.

I have this case on my Nexus 5 and it does in fact work with the Wireless Charger sold by the Play Store.  You do have to find the charging  "Sweet Spot" which can at times be tricky, but it will charge fine.

I popped for a wireless charger for home and work. On the note 2 the USB port has held up fine but my Evo had it go bad 3 times. I had something like 6 even.

Have you had any issues with it affecting the camera? I read numerous reviews stating it did so I got the ultra hybrid when it went on sale (originally wanted the neo).

I'm hoping it's actually sooner. A guy on XDA ordered the same model the day before me and it still shows it as leaving on the 7th but UPS sent him a notice that it's out for delivery. He did next day shipping, I did standard so mine could be here between now and the 13th.

 Hah, another S4GRU member obsessively checking the Nexus 5 Waiting Room lol. I purchased mine the 15th, right after you.  Black 16gb.

I'm having issues with my Nexus 5 with typing and especially the swype feature. I use the stock swype and for the last couple weeks it freezes up a little during typing and does crappy auto corrects? Anyone having this issues?

Nope. Swiping on the Google keyboard still works great for me.

      FTTH JVs are city by city as well, so it's not going to really be sector by sector. It sounds like TMo wants to be able to sell everyone home broadband, but if that requires building additional infrastructure that infra will take the form of FTTH builds rather than mobile densification. Which involves tradeoffs, but the product is better than e.g. what AT&T is doing for me right now, which is offering only Internet Air in an area where they have 100/20 DSL available but not (yet) fiber.

      Hopefully they do not wait until these sectors get so overloaded that they start getting nasty reviews and people abandon them. Getting fiber coverage to the area of a overloaded sector can take a year or more. I also question if this can all be managed.  Lots of sectors all over the country can get congested fairly quick.  Lots of work and money to get fiber installed and there goes the profitability on the venture.

      MoffetNathanson Conference This is a conference where the CFO talks telecom financial analysts so obviously it takes a return on investment approach.  Broadly T-Mobile divides there world into top 100 markets (60%) and small town/rural (40%). They ultimately want to have at least 1/3 market share in rural. They also look at demographics like 50+ and Hispanic.  Reputation is now starting to help them with CIOs.  Did mention c-band buildout beginning in major cities as well as continued band migration to 5g. IMO they may become more aggressive at offering 5g phones to LTE holdover and 5g users without VoNR at a future date. mmWave not discussed. Price increases not discussed iirc. Did mention spectrum purchases from speculators. $9 billion all goes through same ROI process. FWA is down to hexagonal patterns by sector of fallow spectrum. Fiber JVs will go where sectors are overloaded.
