The only explanation is a bad phone. A staff member has an N5 in Atlanta and it works perfectly.

This is very frustrating to hear. Do you think you could pm me and get me in contact with this person? I'd like to discuss this further and explore my options. I don't think anyone at sprint will understand what the true problem is as their front line force is vastly unaware. They'll think I'm nuts lol.

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

I'm not sure if you said this before, did you buy the phone from google or through sprint?

You can have a Google phone and bring it to a service center as well. Doesn't have to be just a sprint phone. You're a sprint customer so we have to take care of you.

The only phones we're not allowed to touch are the moto x from moto maker due to not being able to replace for the colors a customer may have.

Had no idea I could take my Google N5 in if it died. Working great but good to know. TYVM

All of the meid are the same length and what not so we have no clue if it's bought from Google or not. Even if you told us it let's it slide in the system so we couldn't do anything anyways. If someone tells you different they're being lazy.

Never had the data drop outs until today... Drove from northern va up to Atlantic city and I either had voice and no data or nothing at all at least 6 times. Would like to get an update before I head home since Baltimore is a spark market and I have to stop and poke around for awhile.

Well, this has certainly been anticlimactic so far, eh?

Apparently the 1% that initially got the update didn't include the 0.5% of the Sprint N5 users that are on here. . . Not that surprising actually when you look at those numbers.

Actually, it is surprising that if something has been released, it hasn't shown up on XDA yet. There are so many enthusiasts there that either one of them would have received it, or they know someone who did and it made it to the forums. Heck, XDA regularly gets "leaked" and "unreleased" updates. 

 

I personally think that because Sprint doesn't actually control the release of the software, there is a good chance they are wrong about the release date. They were just told a general window of time, or something, and had to spill the beans.

What are the odds of a Sprint only update that is not 4.4.3? I have an LTE Nexus 7 that is on the T-Mobile 200mb free monthly plan. I never received the update that rolled out with the VZW Nexus 7 launch. Could it be possible that the update will only roll out to devices with a Sprint SIM? If you look at the factory image page https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead for the Nexus 7 LTE, you will see the 2 versions

You see one clearly labeled for VZW for the same model.

Doubt it. The build number on the sprint site matches with the leaks of 4.4.3 builds.

That update simply made it possible to activate it on the Verizon network is why.

I know what the update supposedly did (the Nexus 7 LTE worked fine on VZW prior to the update) , I was more referencing the fact that the updates could be targeted to specific carriers.

I'm pretty sure it will roll out to everyone and contain all the bug fixes with also adding Spark compatibility. Phones are a little different than tablets because tablets have Wi-Fi versions and cellular connected versions.

      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.
