A .03 bump is not going to change performance very much at all. You're seeing normal variation in signal.

I watched the number until it stabilized. 1.16 was steadily between -97 and -98 after sitting on my table untouched for about 2 minutes. .15 was at a steady -92 to -93 after 2 minutes. Same exact place. No environmental changes.

That doesn't make any sense. They could tweak one (or several) settings that could make a difference in radio performance from any version to any version. It doesn't have to be a X.0 release to change that.

 

Or, conversely, an X.0 release could do nothing for radio performance.

Could mean nothing, but I kept a B26 signal in areas that on my way home from work with the .13 radio I dropped to 3G. 

 

I will do much more in depth comparisons tomorrow.  A storm rolled in so I cut my drive a little short. 

 

Also --- probably a placebo effect --- but I was noticing much better transitions to B26.  Numerous times lately my phone would go straight from B25 to 3G in areas with B26 active (no eCSFB issues here.  Very mature B25 and B26 area).  Never dropped to 3G on my ride throughout town just now.

Can someone get a good dbm comparison to 1.13?

Well I found it hangs on to the Fringe b26 signal better at my house, was at -120 and staying. Got 3Mbps on it.

Good. One of the main problems with 1.13 was addressed.

There are all kinds of factors that could affect signal, even in short time periods. It's been said before and I'll say it again: signal level is a poor method of comparing radios.

 

That said, the new radio definitely holds LTE better. I just drove a route where I usually dropped LTE and it was held the entire time.

I have a question unrelated to the current chat. Ever since I got the Nexus 5 I have not received any of those emergency messages, even the test message. I have everything enabled. Anybody else? I always got them with the Evo 4G LTE. I know some people don't want them, but it would be nice to get them if you do.

I was thinking about that recently. I haven't gotten a single one either. And I really need to. A few months ago, there was an Amber Alert that went out, and I only found out because people's phones around me were going off. I get called back to work when those kinds of things happen.

I do have debug options and test messages enabled, and I have indeed received test messages, but I've never received any legitimate ones. I think digiblur has though.

I've gotten all of them, in fact I had to turn off amber alerts because I am more interested in the weather alerts...weird.

Has anyone with B41 in their area tested out the new radio? I remember hearing that it was pretty weak on B41 compared to other Spark devices... I would be interested in hearing if the new radio helps at all with it.

I got a test alert within the last day, but I don't recall seeing anything else. I don't know if there just haven't been any around me or I'm not receiving them.

What do you use as your texting app? Do you use Google Voice integration?

I use hangouts, and also have full Google voice integration. When I got the test, it didn't appear to come up as SMS or anything I had seen before. My entire screen faded out showing only the wallpaper and a giant notification window. It certainly wasn't anything like my EVO had for alerts.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      About 2/3 Done with finding Dish sites in Columbus traditional metro. Signal from some sites travels across the county. On a practical basis that means you might need to search a 4 county area to find a site. It also means more interference and less signal where it should be.  I would think the ideal site coverage would be half or a bit more of surrounding sites unless an edge site (ie boomer site). Comments welcome.

      This site is built but not live. No mmWave or LAA but there is any empty fourth mount, probably for C-band or mmWave at some point down the line. eNB 41150 is still live. eNB 41188 is decommissioned but as far as I can tell the site at 200 West 55th is not built yet.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      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.
