Ok, so it may be an issue in both Samsung and ALU markets. Can anyone else in an Ericsson market confirm that they do or do not have this issue?

Southwest Louisiana and no problems, other than some crap towers downtown. I haven't had a duplicate text yet.

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

Quick question. Does the unlocked Nexus 6 have HD calling? Or is it just for the sprint version?

 

Sent from my Nexus 6

Yeah it does. They're identical. There is absolutely no difference between a Nexus 6 purchased from Sprint, Google Play, or Motorola. They're all unlocked and exactly the same model running the exact same software.

Note: if purchased from AT&T or TMobile then it will have bloatware and such...

Does anybody have any ideas on how best to get this issue brought to the right people at sprint? I doubt the CS Reps will be very helpful....

This thread has some contact info for the Network Team: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/6586-sprint-network-team-contact/

 

It seems like that may be the best way to get the attention of someone higher up, especially since this issue appears to have a network component to it.

Anyone here jump from the nexus 5? If so how is data performance compared to the nexus 5? I'm constantly on 3g with my nexus 5 in a city where Sprint is really focused on and would switch in a heartbeat if the new nexus held onto a lte signal better.  Thanks.

I'm in Chicago and went from an N5 to N6.  Data performance is improved.

I thought the Tmobile was the same, it just uses the sim to install bloat at activation that can be uninstalled by the user. It isn't baked into the OS like all the other phones on the carriers. 

 

I know the ATT version is branded and such...

You are right. I like that because I don't mind sprints visual voicemail

Funny, I got to where I hated visual voicemail when Sprint added the stupid avatars.

Hey guys just curious, what is the strongest 1x800 signal you all have experienced on the Nexus 6?  a few minutes ago I had set my phone down on my table and i had -50dbm, and I am about 1.5 miles away from my nearest tower.  Where is my foil hat when i need it???  lol.  just kidding.  I know that that wont harm me.  But I was just curious about that.

Id only be jealous if there were Band 25/26 LTE avail along with it.  I mean yes voice calls do get clearer with 1x800, but I dont talk much on the phone, more so use it for data.  So I wouldnt be to jealous.  my Nexus 6 picks up 1x800 quite a bit more than the Galaxy S5.

Nope.  Trust me if i had -50 dbm signal on Band 26 I would be lovin it!  my speeds would probably be quite good for being that signal strength.  But alas still only 1x800 broadcast from my local towers...  Maybe sprint will turn on the Band 25/26 soon if im lucky.

I went to my local sprint store and they were sold out of the nexus 6. So since this phone comes unlocked fresh out the box, am I able to walk into a T-Mobile store with my brother(who has a T-Mobile account) and pay full retail and then use it on sprint?

yes.

 

you can flash a new 5.0.1 install on it too for good measure.

Ok great thanks. And that flash will just remove any bloat that is of T-Mobile?

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
