Just wanted to follow up, sending SMS via Hangouts magically started working this morning.  I guess it was Sprint-side.

 

And just to echo everyone else; hot damn this thing is fantastic on LTE.

Can you text more than 160 characters and it auto splits?

Wonder if it's possibly a carrier thing - saw an ATT poster saying his was fine - even posted a screen shot with it showing 97/3, as in 97 characters on the 3rd split

Could be dictated by the SMSC number.  The field has the number in quotes then followed by ,145 perhaps indicating a 145 character limit.  Out of curiosity I tried to change it to ,200 and then it reverted to ,152.  Haven't tried actually counting the characters yet though.

Has anyone been able to pickup LTE on band 41 as yet?

This is what I want to know! 42 pages, and no clear answer to this yet. 

 

I live in Salt Lake, which has only 4 band 25 towers. But apparently (I'm not a premier sponsor), the city has many more Band 41 towers active. Thus, the answer to this question is critical to me!

It's supposed to live here in NYC so i'll see if I can enable band 41 and see what SignalCheck tells me.

I can't be the first person in NY to get there hands on a Nexus 5

you should donate and become a premier sponsor! I can't answer your question though sorry.

Look at the post you quoted.  It is from Robert.  But you are right -- he does not bear the "Premier Sponsor" tag.  How can that be? He really should donate.

 

:P

OctOS and TouchWiz didn't give me any problems. I did go back in and edit it on the Nexus 5 and it didn't improve.

When I was bouncing between TW and AOSP, I had to use "p" and "w" in TW, but in AOSP, I had to hit menu and insert pause or insert wait and that put in a "," or a ";"

 

TW heavily modifies Android from Google's vision.  Take one of those and remove your pauses and waits, recreate them from the AOSP dialer and see if it works and the difference in the entries.

I said I did that :P I even tried changing from pause to wait, which lets you choose when the phone sends the tones. Nada.

 

I'm not an Android noob by any means.

Does anyone in an Ericsson market have LTE issues?  I've seen only Samsung and Alcatel people chiming in so far.

Yes, I believe Oklahoma City is Ericsson and I'm having major issues with getting off CDMA to LTE

Yes.  Using the 1.2amp charger that came with it, while actively using the device, kept the battery at the same percentage.  It only went up 1% after an hour.  But switching to one of my 2amp chargers solved that issue.

 

Robert

 

Are there likely to be any repercussions to the device in the long haul by using a 2amp charger?

Hopefully the kernel gods give us some good stuff to conserve battery.  Its already been noted that mpdecision is quick to active and run the cores at full blast.  Development just started and can only get better...I currently am running Franco test 7 and its definitely doing better battery wise...

I have been using 2 amp chargers in my car and home for about 2 years.  As far as I know, there has not been any negative repercussions.  However, I don't use a device daily for more than 6-9 months on average.

Finally got the phone + SIM activated. It took a couple of data provisioning cycles but it seems to work on Sprint so far.

 

As far as the SignalCheck issues go, as far as I can tell so far the system doesn't actually report any 1X data at all while connected to LTE. Throwing the phone into 1X or 3G mode will report CDMA info. Every app is likely to have this issue unless the Android framework itself is fixed to report the data being collected by the radio that's visible in the debug app (disassembling the APK might give some clue as to where to get this info from, like it did for getting the GCI on HTC devices).

I'm going to work later today which is in an area confirmed to have B41 active. I'll definitely let you guys know if it connects!

Starting hour five since unplug this morning and I'm at 83%.  My usage has been between light and moderate, though.  I also unplugged my Nexus 4, iPhone 4S, HTC 8X and Galaxy S2 at the same time.  All of them have been in standing by since then with no usage and on WiFi.  Here is how they compare to the Nexus 5 (which has been used about an hour of those 5 hours).

  • HTC 8X with Windows 8  90%
  • iPhone 4S with iOS7  88%
  • Nexus 5 with Android 4.4  83%
  • Galaxy S2 with Android 4.0  80%  (WiMax turned off)
  • Nexus 4 with Android 4.2  77%

Interesting that the Nexus 4 with no usage is less than the Nexus 5 with one hour of usage.

Looks good to me.  I checked my EVO LTE yesterday after 8 hours of being unplugged and it still had 80% battery life.  I think the Nexus would suit me just fine.

 

You guys have completely convinced me to pick up a device with my student loan money lol.  That may sound irresponsible, but I'm going to tell myself I need it for academic reasons, which may be very true.

    • 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). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They 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, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs 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. 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.  
    • 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 in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.
    • T-Mobile Delivers Industry-Leading Customer, Service Revenue and Profitability Growth in Q1 2024, and Raises 2024 Guidance https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-q1-2024-earnings — — — — — I find it funny that when they talk about their spectrum layers they're saying n71, n25, and n41. They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
