We now have confirmation that the Nexus 5 is not slated to receive its Spark software update until early next year.  The Samsung and HTC handsets will receive their updates tomorrow.

After thinking about it for a bit, I wonder if this is the new single radio behavior for when it searches for LTE. If there is only one radio path, it might need to drop the 1X/EVDO connection while it scans for LTE. Then it reconnects when it can't find LTE... rinse and repeat.

The problem with that is that when the signal goes out no calls/texts come through and you can't make out going calls. It lasts about 15 to 20 seconds each time.

Weird, and sort of a bummer.  Any even guess as to why this is the case?

It probably won't matter to most since there is little "spark" network to be utilized, but I am curious as to why the pure-google device is going to be behind HTC and Samsung this time lol.

LG.  Sprint has a much closer relationship with Samsung and HTC.

So then how did you update your PRL with Basic-Flasher?

 

I did not and so can no one else.

Boy sucks to have a Nexus 5 then.  Is there any way at all to update your PRL?  Did anyone update their PRL on the Galaxy Nexus?

Does anyone know what needs to be deleted to delete the proxy from sprint to help increase speed? I already have my msl number.

 

Yes.  For the Nexus 5, go to *#*#DATA#*#* and scroll to Multimedia.  Enter your MSL and edit to the following:

 

RTSP IP Address: 0.0.0.0

RTSP Port: 0

I know on the GNex this is a hidden menu called PRL_Write. I don't know if this is what you are looking for.

Ha well that would make sense.  Guess I didn't think it would be that simple lol.

 

Do not take that as a fact.  But LG is the common denominator between the G2 and Nexus 5.  Plus, Samsung and HTC have been far more important to Sprint.

Good find. Maybe Nexus 5 users can give that a shot although I heard some people saying they were having problems accessing the hidden menu.

All hidden menus have been found. None has anything to do with PRL.

what does this do exactly?

This is one of those old mods that I have seen since the Wimax days which people say it bypasses the Sprint proxy default address and port which can lead to faster data speeds. I can't say 100% when I did this for my Photon 4G if it necessarily increased my 3G/4G speeds or not but this mod has been around for a long time. Try a google search and you'll find it.

 

Also I saw this posted in the LG G2 XDA forum too that eludes to this same mod:

Dang that sucks.  Hopefully someone will find a way to flash a PRL file on the Nexus 5. Thanks for the info so I can update my thread.

it doesn't seem to be taking.... after you edit it, it reboots the phone.  go back and view and it's back to sprint default???  :wacko:

I didn't mean to say the Nexus 5 phone in general sucks.  I meant it sucks in the context that there isn't a method to flash your PRL with a Nexus 5 thus far.

 

Re-read the post it was quoted from to get some context.

What if you don't put anything at all in there. Just remove the numbers for the IP address and Port entirely and leave it blank and then try to reset and see what happens.

Went to visit a sprint store again today. I was very curious about how texting would work with the eCSFB during a data session.  i ran a speedtest on the nexus 5 while i texted it from another phone and i was very impressed. the speedtest kept going like nothing happened and the text came IMMEDIATELY. The LTE symbol stayed the whole time. I'm hopeful this will fix sprints texting issue since many times texts come in late on devices i have used but come in immediately on the nexus 5

    • 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.
