It doesn't work in my experience, unless I'm connected to Wi-Fi. It would probably work connected to GSM, though (not LTE).

 

On an unrelated note, last night I found that long pressing the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Location quick tiles will toggle them on/off. I was only used to the [superior] CM functionality, and never thought to long-press them before. Can't wait for stable CM 11.

Ah I didn't think it would work when out and about.  Pity, it actually seemed like a cool feature.

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

So KitKat and the Nexus 5 have the feature where if a business calls you, then Google will pull up their information (name, address, etc) for you.  How well does this work without SVDO and SVLTE?

I cannot remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure this feature worked when I was out and about.  The Nissan dealership my car was at called and it showed up with a picture... Maybe I was home, I cannot remember now.  Wouldn't it be possible for the information to be sent before the phone call came thru?

Can someone tell me if it has been mentioned in this thread before? I have been following but can't remember exactly. There is a review on Sprint.com regarding the HTC and voice mail saying that you can't use sprint voice mail and you have to set up a google voice. I would figure it still has the voicemail app or just call "1".

The lenses have been around for a while, I think they just did it to make their product appeal to that niche. But who knows.

Is this what are talking about ? Got from Marlboro last year for free lol .I was gonna toss it away

I smoke, but not marlboros. and they send me free crap and coupons all the time.

 

 

Usually they have little ciggy stripers (candystripers?) that go around at bars, clubs and other places adults congregate and get you to sign up for free samples and will give you a pack of cigarettes. hmm

It could certainly be possible.  Would just depend on how it's implemented.  It would have to pull the data very quickly before the phone rang, which may be difficult.

Are they "ciggy stripers" or "ciggy strippers"?

Any update from Sprint when the Nexus 5 will be able to connect to b41?

I think the official Spark update for the N5 is early 2014.

Early 2014 is all we know.

 

41 in 14!

 

It sounds like a college yell or old battle cry.

 

:P

There have been at least 2 confirmed b41 sightings on nexus 5 already.

 

So if you have enabled the bands, it does not appear to be a device limitation, but a network limitation.

 

If you meant official support, then as already has been mentioned, early 2014 is all we know at this point.

Thanks for the info, I already enable band 41 but still not getting b41 on towers that I know b41 is enable ...

 

 

How do you know they are enabled?  A hotspot device?  b41 sites are limited by eCSFB just like the b25 sites.  They probably need an update to enable eCSFB.

Looks like Google is holding the full amount of the N5 on my card as of yesterday.  Hopefully this is a good indication that it is shipping soon.

It probably shipped yesterday then.

      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.
