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 thought I was just going crazy. I definitely noticed a big improvement as well.

Anyone using hangouts with their Google voice number/sprint integration? Is it possible to send mms using gv number?

I am having issues with my LTE and I'm in a Samsung market.

Same.  I'm in the MN market, and I have yet to see LTE on my N5.  I haven't gone to a known LTE area and forced it, but I was through a few earlier today, including stopping at a Sprint store, walking in, and running a speed test on a Moto X to make sure the reported LTE was working (it was, and my N5 still stayed locked in to 3G).  I can't try now, as I don't typically have LTE here.

 

For reference, I've got a 32GB Black that seemed to activate fine, 3G and voice work, but LTE just doesn't seem to connect.

Yes it works! Not only that, but because of the tight integration of GV on sprint, we are the only ones able to do this.

It works with the hangouts app through your sprint integrated gvoice number.

Which integration option are you using (1 or 2)?

 

Does your MMS actually shoot up on the recipient's phone as coming from your gv number?

These pictures are coming from LTE to a phone call.

I'm kind of leaning towards my voice connection priority is messed up. This is a bit over my head. How is that determined? I tried updating my profile, but it still did the same as above.

As said before the Nexus 5 DOES NOT support SVDO / SVLTE and you will not get data while on a phone call.

was there a case on your one? I know for my s4 the signal would drop when I had a case on it, noticeable enough for me to risk not using a case

 

yeppers, apparently a sammy thing, happened when I had a case on my GS2 and 3 ! My callers would say I was muffled and very choppy, take case off and voila, perfect connection. Was a bummer as they were very nice cases too.....$$ *flush

I'm not trying to browse the internet, I am well aware after being told yesterday this. I'm concerned that my voice quality is because I'm constantly connecting to 1x not 800. Am I missing something? My voice quality does not suffer when I make a phone call from 3G, only when I'm going LTE to Voice.....

If I were you I'd reset my phone back to complete stock using this tool:

Not sure if it is 1 or 2 but it is full integration. I only have 1 number, my sprint number is my google voice number.

 

I no longer use the google voice app, hangouts for SMS & MMS and have the voicemail integrated into the stock dialer.

 

I still use the gvoice app to text from my tablets/computer though and no MMS there obviously.

What did you have first, a sprint number or a Google voice number?

Sprint. I was in the Google Voice pilot program for Sprint integration though, I've had it since the beginning.

I had a GV number and a Sprint number, end I think when you combine them, with that option mms still comes from my Sprint number, which sucks. I didn't know if the hangouts integration would fix that.. guess I could reintegrate and try..

Rocky start to the chat but my 32GB black is live on LTE without doing any tinkering on the engineering screens. I don't have signalcheck pro installed but the settings screens have me at -100dBm 37asu just outside of Washington DC. Marginally better than the signal on my Viper. I'll be roaming around your nations capital tomorrow and will report back with how it behaves.

You weren't having any LTE troubles to start with though, were you?  Otherwise, any idea what they did to fix them (if you were having issues).

      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.
