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

"spark icon"  Would this mean that the spark icon is coming to the Nexus 5, or does this simply cast some doubt on the 'leak'?

I don't know what you're asking.  The bands are to be enabled, apparently along with the icon.

Google has always been pretty strict as far as carrier add-ons for its Nexus line in order to keep the UI as close to 'vanilla' as possible.  Many believe(d) that the icon would definitely not come to the Nexus 5.  In my mind, this makes me a little doubtful of the rumor.

 

The icon would be little concern to me as long as the bands were enabled.  Here's hoping for next week! :)

I'm guessing they either don't realize the Spark icon isn't coming along with the update, or Sprint got Google to cave.

 

Hoping for the former. 

 

And that the rumor is true.   :lol:

nothing that a custom Rom can't remove ;)

I havent found the need for a custom ROM, and the spark symbol probably wont qualify either. I guess now is as good as a time as ever to go back to complete stock, update preparation shall commence shortly.

I hoping this rumour is very wrong, I doubt that it is true.

 

We don't need no stupid spinning icon to tell us we are on a certain frequency, not at all.

Is it a rumor at this point? I'm not citing unnamed sources, this is straight from the horse's mouth.

Who's to say you didn't make up the e-mail? Especially considering the spark icon comment. There's no way google would add a carrier specific modification to stock android.

Weak. If I was going to make something up, it would have been more creative than that.

The spark icon doesn't tell you witch band you are on. It spins on all 3 bands.

This email situation is just confirming the rumors that have been circling around saying we'd get it in a few weeks(that was about a week and a half ago). When you take all of them in the time frame does fit pretty well. We shall find out for sure Monday, if it's not true the worst that happens is we all got excited for no reason. There's worse things that could've happened lol

A mod to make it only appear for non b25 would be a great addition!

also did we ever confirm if the VZW update was sent to all N7s? I guess its possible the N5 gets an update only that relates to Spark only if we N5ers didn't get that VZW N7 update. 

 

my eggs are still in the 4.4.3 update though. Id guess it isn't in the Google 4.4.3 changelog, but is in the sprint websites changelog.

I'd still call it only slightly better than rumor.  While I feel like the "Dan@sprint.com" reps may have a bit more insight, this is a Sprint CS person telling you when a Google update will be out.  I don't put a lot of faith in Sprint knowing when they'll release their own updates, much less when anyone else will.

 

That said, I'll be holding my breath Monday to see if it comes as well.  :D

My N5 is a sad puppy at the moment...I don't know what's with the towers around here, but for the past few days I'm lucky if I get a solid data signal unless I force my phone to 1x. Text messages have issues as well. My T-Mobile SIM doesn't have these issues. Will edit this post if my Moto X has the same issues or not.

 

EDIT: No confirmation quite yet, but looks like a serious problem with eCSFB in my area. Will be checking with the X once Republic Wireless decides to let me.

Yeah it pretty much is still... Is a dan@sprint customer service agent response better than nothing? For sure. Is it official confirmation of anything, most certainly not...

Emailed the dan@sprint.com team. Response was that there is no information to share at this time

Which is pretty typical.

 

At least we won't be holding our breath long to see if Monday is indeed the day.

      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.
