I had a Nexus 5 once but switched to an iPhone 5s. Needless to say i miss the Nexus 5. I switched because the signal on the Nexus 5 in my house was worse then the iPhone 5s. I wasn't sure if maybe it was a bug or not. Will the update to 4.4.3 fix this?

The nexus 5 has better signal reception than any other device out right now. You are likely hitting issues with sprints network that get covered up by devices that don't use ecsfb (iPhone) or devices that use svlte

I can personally attest to the nexus beating the 5s hands down. I also have a 5s in my household and my n5 pulls usable 3g(.5-1mb down off a legacy tower -I think lol-), or band 26 where as the 5s is essentially a brick from 10am-7pm. So the hours when our towers(I live by an interstate) are constantly loaded.

Now my wife's nexus doesn't ring on LTE. Starting to wonder if it's the network. Except when mine first started to mess up hers worked fine. This is kinda frustrating.

Tried switching back and Sprint gave me some error message on their web page. I'll try again tomorrow. For now I'm on the EVO but it is definitely no Nexus.

I have never been able to activate my N5 using the automated system on Sprint's website, but I can swap other phones just fine. Opening a chat usually takes care of it very quickly.

Same here. Other phones work great. N5 swap requires a chat.

The issue is the account, not the device.  Some of us have accounts of a certain age and/or with certain quirks that require manual intervention for phone activation.

When I first got my nexus I activated it on the web just fine. But this time it required a chat.

I remember because it takes so long for the system to recognize that the n5 was taken off, it takes 24-48 hours for it to be able to be activated online. After swapping my n5 for the g2, it still said I was using a N5 for a day or two after and wouldn't let Mr switch back withouta chat or call.

The website finally started supporting my N5 just last week. I haven't tried to swap phones but I can finally do things like add a hotspot plan without opening a chat session or calling.

Link?  I brought my USB cord with me to work today just in case.  :D

 

Edit: Nevermind.  Simple Google search found it.

De ja vu! Another carrier reporting the update! Does that mean we have another month and a half to wait? :-)

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No specific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
