Finally got lollipop installed on my 5, loving it so far. :D

I installed it one my phone and my wife's phone over the old developer preview. Much improved! I'm excited to go try out B41 and see if the upload now works. I've never got higher than 0.00 on B41 and I hope it isn't my phone and was just the old android L.

Working fine for me. B41 inside my house on a slow tower. :P

Update on the new base band. Went on a foray down through st Louis today (road trip to pappy's BBQ) and I dropped b41 twice the whole trip. Once was purely because I went into a giant metal building. It holds onto b41 like a beast, multiple times I got down to a -140dbm signal and it was still holding steady and working fine. Apps started to time out once it got down to -145dbm though, and that's when it dropped the signal for b26. This radio is definitely my new favorite daily driver, and new favorite overall excluding the .15 radio for occasionally bypassing ecsfb/csfb issues.

I was in downtown STL last night with the new radio and it loves to hold on to weak band 41. I never observered -140dBm. -125 was the lowest I saw before getting pushed to band 25/26. It also holds on to weak band 25/26 better than previously. Overall great improvement from 4.4.4.

Well that's odd, signal check reported a -141dbm I know for a fact. That's when I opened up the engineering screens because I couldn't believe it xD.

 

I believe you, I just don't know how it happened. I just double-checked and if RSRP < -139, the app will (should?) report no LTE. These new signal possibilities might complicate things, because I know several devices report -140 when disconnected, but I am working on a way around it.

Possible fluke with android L? If I'd known I'd have grabbed a bug report...I'm traveling up 70 to KC tomorrow where I should encounter some fringe LTE. I'll try to keep a semi close eye on my phone and see if I can't replicate it again.

So My broken nexus replacement, the Note 3(Thanks asurion...) was just traded for a GS5. Just to saw I have actually had better band 26 on the GS%, than the N5 had on its best Days. I am suprised to see it, but It looks like the Nexus RF performance has degraded substantially. Speaking of SCP I thought I saw a few times on my m8 it say -150 on band 26 with the spinning wheel going like crazy, possibly a fluke.

The new version of Android L fixed my B41 upload problem! Now I can use B41. I got 50 mbps download at John Wayne Airport in OC.

I never used the first one but this versions modem seems much better than stock on 4.4.4.

Has anyone noticed any decrease in download and upload speeds? Before I flashed to lollipop I was getting roughly 50/14 at my house. However now I'm only averaging 32/10. While I can't sure I want to say that the UL and/or DL channels used to be 65535 but now I'm seeing 40521 most of the time.

65535 isn't a valid channel. Its probably just network load or some other thing causing the reduction in speed.

Lots of incompatible apps. Hulu, watch espn

This happens with every android update. For some reason (preventing update-related app crashes?) many video apps have code that specifically checks for the android version and closes if the version of the device doesn't specifically match with one of the versions on the whitelist. Personally, I think its a bit stupid to completely deny use of the app if the android version isn't "approved" yet, even though the app may work fine on the new version. A simple "there may be issues with this android version" popup on opening the app should suffice.

Has anyone noticed a problem with the latest developer preview? I have only seen good things so far... very tempting...

My preliminary observation on B25 LTE connectivity is that is doesn't hold on quite as good. I generally got 4g in the 2nd floor of my house for a few minutes, and now it goes straight to 3g after I un-airplane my phone. This could be sprint tweaking though. I do notice my phone doesn't get stuck in 1x mode as often though.

    • 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 soecific 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.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
