It holds LTE like a beast so far, drove from the Bronx to midtown and back, have no idea what the 3G logo looks like. Have yet to drop to 3G even in an elevator.   B26 performance in particular seem

Hey anybody have any stats on Battery life yet?  I am testing mine out today to see how long I get with normal usuage.  I took it off the charger at 8am and its now 1145am and my battery is at 62%.  

 

My usage thus far is the Google music app (no streaming, all music was downloaded yesturday)

Some browsing

Screen brightness half bright

Some facebook

about 2 hours of sitting on 3G signal

Some texting

2 (1 minute phone calls)

 

Thats about all I have done.  I am really wanting to try out this charing thing that they speak of where i plug it in for 15 minutes and i get another 6 hours.  Wonder if thats just 6 hours of standby time or what.  

 

Anywho if anyone else has any of their own battery stats please post them so we can see how to get the best battery life out of this phone.

For engineering screen access, if someone wants to try sideloading the SprintHiddenMenu.apk off of the Nexus 5, let me know.  I can supply the APK.  My guess is that it will not work, since the Nexus 5 is an LG handset.  An alternative might be to pull the equivalent hidden APK off of a Sprint Moto X.

I'll give it a whirl when I get home today. You can email it to sonypsp at gmail dot com.

pretty amazing!!!!  Though it is tricky to see the difference between 1080 and 1440 resolution on the Nexus.  but still it is available.

What's the easiest root method that is currently out there?

Post a link please. Thanks.

Really manual with adb would be easiest, or best (more control). Here's the lazy method http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/nexus-6-cf-auto-root-t2946626

How are you guys liking the Nexus 6? I went into the T-Mobile store 2 days in a row and I'm not Wow'd by this device. I love the Nexus 5 so I thought that the Nexus 6 would be love at first sight but its not.

n5 or moto x?

 

I stated in a previous post -- also quoted a few posts above -- that the APK I would supply would be from a Nexus 5.

If your rooted you got to use a file explorer and put it into system apps folder. From there you can install it / run it.

I have both the 5 and 6. I like the 6 more. Especially battery life. I get up at 10am and never charge until 3am the next day.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      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.

      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.
