Just so you know, on the N5, SignalCheck will show both types of Serving Cell ID.

 

I don't get this tower on my n5, a friend with note 2 reported it to me.

Is there any real difference between Android 4.3 and 4.4 or is basically just bug fixes and firmware upgrades?

 

One is a jelly bean and one is a kit kat!

 

Really though, I have yet to experience 4.4 first hand but from the write-ups I've read....there are quite a few changes.  The significance of those changes is up to the individual to decide on though

 

Edit:  I found a pretty good review of the changes if you have some time to read.

There are a lot of under-the-hood changes not immediately obvious to users. The Ars article linked above is a pretty good run-down. Apparently the way applications are written will be different going forward. How apps load and run in the background also changed a bit, and 4.4 lays the groundwork for ART.

It's exciting stuff that the 'ole Dalvik JIT compiler will be replaced by the ART....I can't wait for it to be ready for prime-time.

Anyone with the g2 or nexus getting LTE on yellow dots yet?

Yes. Some of them I have to toggle airplane mode or do a Perl update.

    • FTTH JVs are city by city as well, so it's not going to really be sector by sector. It sounds like TMo wants to be able to sell everyone home broadband, but if that requires building additional infrastructure that infra will take the form of FTTH builds rather than mobile densification. Which involves tradeoffs, but the product is better than e.g. what AT&T is doing for me right now, which is offering only Internet Air in an area where they have 100/20 DSL available but not (yet) fiber.
    • Hopefully they do not wait until these sectors get so overloaded that they start getting nasty reviews and people abandon them. Getting fiber coverage to the area of a overloaded sector can take a year or more. I also question if this can all be managed.  Lots of sectors all over the country can get congested fairly quick.  Lots of work and money to get fiber installed and there goes the profitability on the venture.
    • MoffetNathanson Conference This is a conference where the CFO talks telecom financial analysts so obviously it takes a return on investment approach.  Broadly T-Mobile divides there world into top 100 markets (60%) and small town/rural (40%). They ultimately want to have at least 1/3 market share in rural. They also look at demographics like 50+ and Hispanic.  Reputation is now starting to help them with CIOs.  Did mention c-band buildout beginning in major cities as well as continued band migration to 5g. IMO they may become more aggressive at offering 5g phones to LTE holdover and 5g users without VoNR at a future date. mmWave not discussed. Price increases not discussed iirc. Did mention spectrum purchases from speculators. $9 billion all goes through same ROI process. FWA is down to hexagonal patterns by sector of fallow spectrum. Fiber JVs will go where sectors are overloaded.
