Google Nexus 6 by Motorola (Was "Nexus X talk leaked?")

Except for those who obsess over simultaneous voice and data, e/CSFB is superior to both SVLTE and Apple's CDMA2000 iPhone 5/5S/5C solution -- because e/CSFB allows the handset to idle solely on LTE.  Both SVLTE and Apple's solution require the handset still to camp on CDMA1X, too, following the prescribed slot cycle.

The still rampant ECSFB issues/random fall backs to 3G say otherwise. Iphones don't seem to have this same issue.  :wall:

Eh, no.  e/CSFB issues are not rampant, certainly not in the Kansas market.  Now, "3G" fallbacks will long be an issue, simply because LTE is a fast but fragile airlink.

 

Regardless, e/CSFB is superior in RF performance and battery life.  That Apple was able to make the Sprint variant iPhone 5/5S/5C an excellent performer all around -- despite its oddball single RF path, no e/CSFB configuration -- is a testament to engineering.  But it is one that no Android OEM would likely duplicate -- because no Android OEM has the curious luxury of developing just a single design over the course of a whole year.

ecsfb issues are still rampant in st louis.

 

in fact the last several days it has gotten even worse with my nexus 5 constantly dropping to 3g (where previously the last year has been b25 with the off/on b41 connection) at work.

 

Sitting here side by side with new iphone6+, the nexus has been on 3g most of the day, where as the iphone has been on b41 the majority of the time, though I did notice a couple times it dropped to 1x/3g for a few minutes before reconnecting to b41.

 

There are also a few spots on 270 which also cause the nexus 5 to drop to 3g.

Back to the Nexus X talk - it still seems like something is missing with this whole speculation about the phone.

 

A few articles have mentioned that in the leaked pics of the "Nexus X" you don't see any Nexus branding. Some of them are wondering if the phone being leaked is in fact a "Motorola Shamu" and not the Nexus.

And what exactly is the Moto Shamu??

The device name for what many assume is the nexus 6/x. It's what the "leaks" about the device have it named by.

I know, but is it supposed to be Moto X like in size? This whole debacle is so confusing.

 

I'm putting off buying a new phone until we figure out what's going on with this. And my EVO LTE is really showing its age...

No, from all indications the Motorola S (Shamu) is 5.9". Still unclear if it's the Nexus X or not although most have assumed it is.

There are far fewer Nexus leaks than there were iPhone leaks. It used to be there were few credible iPhone leaks, now this last time there were tons. But it seems Google has done a pretty good job keeping the wraps on their plans. More transparency! :lol:

Hi, Andriod Central is reporting a possible Nexus 6 sighting. From the article, "model XT1254...Bands 2,4,5, & 17...GSM & WCDMA...850, 1700, & 1900...bands supported by AT&T and T-Mobile". Why no mention of Sprint since it is on 1900 also? Difference between WCDMA & CDMA?  

 

Ok, this could be the AT&T and T-Mobile versions and the Sprint & Verizon versions be posted later? Usually, each carrier gets its own model number, no?

 

edit: ok, someone beat me to the posting of this news...shucks.

if that is the new nexus and no sprint support, its looking more and more like I'll be sticking with the nexus 5 and/or htc m8.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
    • Same with factory unlocked
