I updated to the latest Google Play Services, Newest Camera and Newest Hangouts. It seems to have solved my battery drain. This picture is from when I last unplugged it at work yesterday. I hardly used it today as I enjoyed the great weather today. Total screen on time is about 3 hours. I'm on stock, unrooted. As you can see it was on my Wifi most of the time.

That's a pretty nasty drop in battery around the middle of that graph. Do you have the brightness on your phone set to retina burning?

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

Do my kiddos who just moved to an active tri-band area (Ft. Worth) need to do anything for band 41 to work?

Well, I should have said does the DiL with an N5 need to do anything as the son just has an iphone 5s and it's a moot point for him.

Are we still waiting for a Google update?

Update PRL or profile?

Update firmware?

 

Please excuse the question without research as I'm at work and will have to wait until I get home to rummage around the thread(s). 

In the mean time if someone wants to show off their knowledge feel free.

To connect to band 41 the only way(as far as I know) right now is to back up your efs and flash the .15 radio. It'll still be hit or miss even in mature markets with ecsfb/csfb completely finished.

You can get b41 on any baseband. If you get it with .23 then keep it on that or .17. .15 will get it most likely but has issues connecting to sites without csfb/ecsfb. I use .15 because calls and text don't matter as much as to me, and only in one small area In Tyler has any issues like that

More speculation...

Moto E may come with 4.4.3 (according to the fine print from its promo video), and it will probably be released May 20. If true, the Nexus 5 should have 4.4.3 by that date.

The demo units have 4.2.2. The inclusion of that 4.4.3 in the video is probably there because 4.4.3 was supposed to be out by now

4.2.2 or 4.4.2?

Not doubting you, but what's your take on why the Nexus 5 should have it first?

Because its a nexus device...historically they have always gotten new versions of android first.

You should probably doubt me.  :)

 

As jordanlong20 pointed out, the demo versions of the Moto E had 4.4.2 running meaning they will probably be running that when it comes out.  However, Motorola was under the impression that the Moto E would be running its "current KitKat 4.4.3 operating system" at debut and that it would receive at least one more update after 4.4.3.  Now, I guess, it will receive two updates at least: one for 4.4.3 and the other one that was promised in the fine print.  That or the fine print was just a mistake.  If you re-read jordanlong20's post above he said "4.2.2" when he meant "4.4.2."  These update numbers are tricky, so Motorola could have just made a mistake.

 

As far as why the Nexus 5 would receive 4.4.3 first, according to the Nexus 5 info page:

 

 

Android updates, straight from the source.
With Nexus 5, you’re always the first to get the latest Android updates from Google. It’s like being at the front of the line at every movie premiere.
 
Although I like being first in line to what will be an awesome movie for Sprint Nexus 5 owners, I do not like the delay.

With a new sim card im still getting the data drop on 3g.  It happens for a split second and come back.  My s4 that i was on for a week didn't do it once!  Never seen an important update take so long to roll out.  I love the design of the nexus 5.  Would it be caused from esfb issue?  I dont know how to check to see if its that.    

 

now that i swapped phone online i got the msl number sent email now to test.

It is likely dropping 3G to scan for LTE. Put it in 3G only mode and see if you still get the dropouts. This will likely not be fixed with the update as the single-path radio is physically unable to scan for LTE while keeping a 3G signal.

I have a feeling the update is coming in the next 7 days.  I don't know why, I just do. Let's hope I'm right!

 

This is getting sad.  :/

There may be something to that May 25th date after all. But if so, we should start hearing rumblings soon.

We've all been exceedingly patient.  I'm trying..but I feel my patience beginning to run out.

      Network Vision/LTE - Long Island Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.

      Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile.

      T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.
