    That's what I'm using it as. Sprint line = main number everyone knows. Fi line = used for roaming data after my 300mb run out + eip nexus 6. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    I was thinking that maybe the Sprint towers were congested at first but my issues occurred in a rural area at 5am. There was no way it was due to congestion. I did, however, contact CS about it and gave them the area that I was having issues with. It took about 2 weeks since then to really notice the change. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    I experienced the same thing besides the b12. Even hspa+ over b41. It gets better! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    I've noticed after a few weeks using Fi that the switching between Sprint and T-mobile has gotten better. Whether that's due to backend changes or the network 'learning' the areas you frequent. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    I think that fi will work on the n5 but it won't connect to Sprint. Or have wifi calling. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Do you have another sprint phone to temporarily activate? Or maybe put your n6 on your Sprint line? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Have you put the fi sim into your n5 yet? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Band 5 yes, but not 12. I don't think it'll work. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Nexus 6, yes. Edit. Band 5 not 4 Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    I accepted my invite and I'll be swapping sim cards out with my Sprint line. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    I'm no expert, but isn't there issues with the amount of spectrum that both companies own? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    I'm still going to wait it out. I've got a week and a half left on the return period. I may pause the service, pay for the phone in the instalments and transfer it to my Sprint line. The only thing that I LOVE is roaming is unlimited, data wise. That's nearly enough to keep me. Maybe what I could do is pause the service, then when my Sprint allowed 300mb of roaming data is used up (I work in a place where I there is no native coverage), turn the Fi back on and maybe tether my N5 to my N6. I'm still undecided. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Unfortunately, t-mobile doesn't have the 700mhz spectrum in my area. US Cellular has it all. So I'm stuck to band 4. I believe I saw somewhere that it takes a bit for the signals to 'learn' or adapt to the areas signals. We'll see if that holds true. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Ahh the wait sucks haha. I'm still not sure if I'm going to stay with it. My primary sprint line is the ED1500. It'll be tough to choose. As far as the signal issues, a quick toggle into airplane mode makes it connect to the Sprint signal. IIRC, it's about a -85 to -95 dBm signal. But the EDGE signal is -80 or so.

    I usually get 4-15mbps (I know that's quite the range) download around here. It is just starting to come online though. However, in the more rural parts of my morning commute, sprint is definitely stronger and most likely uncongested being as it's around 530am. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    I received my Nexus 6 and Fi welcome kit on Tuesday. I've been testing it as my main phone (and using my Sprint number through Google voice on a secondary Google account) and some things are great, some not. I haven't had signal check issues I don't think. But I've noticed that it likes to stay almost exclusively on t-mobile. Even with a strong band 25 presence, it stays on EDGE, OR W-CDMA. Have you noticed a GSM preference? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    I just hope I didn't map for nothing. Not that I drove particularly far but still. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  17. kmanracing24
    So some of my recent mapping has worked. I need to be way zoomed in on the map to see it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  18. kmanracing24
    Hmm. I just did about 45 minutes of mapping nearby. I cleared data beforehand. Still nothing an hour later. I hope my efforts weren't in vain. Is this data lost?
  19. kmanracing24
    Has anyone done any sprint tower mapping with Fi yet? I imagine it may be more challenging with T-mobile being available too. I suppose you could force the Sprint network. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Sounds sort of intriguing. How would one get a hold a known list of SIDs? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  21. kmanracing24
    Oh, yep. I'm dumb. Carry on. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    This pseudo native evdo means what exactly? When I'm connected to US Cellular and on their EV-DO, is that counting as roaming data or native data? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  23. kmanracing24
    Well, surely we can get someone to confirm of deny this. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  24. kmanracing24
    Huh. I just got off the Fi tech support chat asking the same question. They said that Fi roams on the same partners that Sprint and T-mobile does and that there are no limits. I saw somewhere else that they allow roaming but just at a much much slower speed. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  25. kmanracing24
    What has been people's experience with data roaming? Are there limits? Overage fees? Etc? This is one of the things holding me back. Also, I'm trying to force myself to wait until October/November when the next Nexus devices come out, hoping for a Nexus 5 reboot. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
