I think they are keeping quiet hoping most people game from the galaxy2 and won't notice. If they send out a release then they would get tons of calls demanding a credit.

If they just took care of the 3g/4g issue this thing is insane, unfortunately that mother head site broadcasts insane far and mucks with thing out here.

It's believed that a site with NV 3G accepted (a yellow or green site) that will not allow a Triband LTE device to connect is just in need of a software update. This is why some people report their LTE all of a sudden works. So maybe your site will be recitifed soon.

Here's to hoping you're correct.

Do you have any issues connecting to 3G/4G sites?The closest one would be MLK and Kingshighway. Anyone else with Tri-Band devices experiencing issues connecting to either purple or yellow sites with consistency?

purple sites are fine yellow are no go. The motherhead site I can't connect to at all. And the yellow one north of it. The purple ones I can pick up easily as long as it doesn't try to hand me off to one of those yellow ones.

Here is an N5 connected to a 4G only site in St. Louis/Missouri Market. Stock, unmodified. Sigh of relief!

lilG, glad you got your phone. In my unscientific testing its the towers that you have as yellow on your map that the tri band phones are having issues with. Purple ones are fine.

Wimax is different from LTE

Spigen ultra hybrid doesn't affect dBm but maybe it squeezes the antenna enough to Bork handoffs

Funny you should say that I removed my plastic case and BAM LTE popped in I'll test it on my drive later. Could just have been an awesome coincidence.

LilG, I did some scouting and it seems to be the towers on your map that are yellow which I can't connect to.  connect to it fine with my htc one though.  wonder if there is some sort of "im not ready yet" flag its broadcasting that the non triband ones just ignore?  I pick up the tower near work fine.

im getting LTE in places my Evo LTE and HTC one or buddys S3 never go on my 32gb white nexus 5 if you get it in, its a fantastic radio

The tower is near the billboards on 94 just west of there

It's plain and simple. The N5 that Sprint users and AT&T users, etc will be using will be the same exact device. The updates won't go through AT&T or Sprint to sign off on them before the OTA is put on Google's servers. The companies signed off on the first update and I'm sure there are other provisions in the contract with the company's like hot spot locking down, etc. I'm not sure why you are getting stuff about patents and such holding up updates for each carrier. That's not the way it is going to work. When Google updates to 4.4.1 then the same scaled rollout will happen to all device users.

The kicker is will I still be on sprint after my phone let's me freely jump lol

I don't think you get it, the carriers have no say in the updates the way this one is set up. Think of it like the iPhone were apple controls the updates.

Uh dude I have an EVO 4G LTE and the sim card is most definitely not removable.

 

Great to hear about the N5 being unlocked. As that is the case I definitely will be getting it. I will be waiting a few weeks to see if Sprint will release the strangle hold on Ting and allow the N5 to be activated on Ting as well. I'm not holding my breath though. If not I suppose I'll get a GoPhone pre-paid.

 

Thanks.

Your right about that the one is definitely removable though. I confused my memory of removing the SD card lol.

Evo LTE and HTC one had removable Sims.

 

Yes nexus 5 is completely unlocked across all gsm carriers plus sprint.

I'm chomping at the bit for the N5. Now that I'm on Ting I'm yet again at the mercy of waiting on Sprint. Even though Sprint officially has the N5 they make MVNO's wait for the same phone's to become available.

So my new research is if the Sprint version of the N5 does have all of the radios for AT@T/T-Mo and is unlocked. If so I'll just drop Ting and use the phone elsewhere until Sprint allows it on Ting.

there is no sprint version its all the same version.
