Hmmm.... that's contrary to every single other report any Nexus user has given. The N5 is the best performing RF device on the Sprint market right now, especially if you flash the .17 or .15 radios. (The .15 might even have some surprises with it).

Yeah, that's exactly why I bought one. I thought it would be better, but after switching back I'm seeing much better results. What's really upsetting is that 2/3 of the equipment upgraded towers in my city still are only 3G. Frustrating because it's been close to a year.

You still have an iPhone 5 or did you get a 5s?

A 5. I've been carrying a nexus 5 for months but had to send it in because of camera issues. Forgot to take out the sim before sending it off so I haven't been able to use the new one. Don't think I will be anyway. The iphone holds on to what little lte I see much better than the nexus.

Does anyone in SEMO area or St. Clair County, Illinois (and south of there) still lurk here?

I'm still around. Just haven't had any reason to say anything still.

Iphone uses a different size sim I believe. I would get a new one.

I thought I read they both used a nano SIM.

edit:

Crap. They are different.

So how do I get a micro SIM from Sprint? 

So, I just caved and bought my first Android device. I bought my Nexus 5 from the Play store. Is activating it as easy as taking the SIM from my iPhone 5 and do a phone swap online like I have before? It'll probably be a few days before it arrives, but I want to be ready. It's going to be fun having a new toy to play with. 

New Madrid, MO

Sikeston, MO.

This install is not right. I live 1/2 mi south of this tower and can't connect to it even from outside with a view of the tower. Traveled north of the tower about a 1/2 mi and it popped up. Never saw more than 2 "bars" of signal strength.

Charleston, MO

Still haven't picked up LTE on the tower that was accepted, but I was just driving through town and picked up LTE for a split second. Very weak signal and it was gone before I knew it. It was definitely not one of the three towers around me (I just drove by all three and network cycled each time and got nothing). I'm wondering if the Moorehouse site is live. I'll probably swing in that direction later today. 

Ask and you shall receive my friend!

The tower accepted was the one by my house. Me or my wife haven't seen it yet. Sad.

On 60 between Dexter and Sikeston Mo

That's the Bloomfield tower. 

So AT&T will light up lte in sikeston on 11/21. Sprint, let's beat them to the punch!

I just never thought about getting them while I was in Cape. They are working their way down to you.

It's all around me! My wife said surely we will have it by the end of the week when I told her Monday that Scott city was up. charleston is lit up now. I'll probably grab that Saturday if no one beats me to it.

It'd be nice if the campus towers had lte. They have all the equipment.

I knew the locations but did we already have the scid's for those 2 sites?

Yeah, I grabbed them Monday. I was surprised to see you hadn't got them yet. Also I think Scott city is lit up now. Grabbed that SCID also.

I'm not driving out there but I've heard reports that lte is live in charleston, mo.

Another "Semo" location is nice to see. It won't be long now...

No updates on that Sikeston site that was being worked on 3 months ago?

Nope. All 3 towers in the area have the new base units and panels. 2 were 3G accepted pretty fast and the other has languished. I've seen a work truck there a few times, but since its a shared tower I'm not sure who they were there for.

I just thought both of you SEMO guys died....

Nope. I am subscribed to both Missouri threads and read everything. I still check on towers locally. It has just been completely dead as far as progress goes down here in my woods.

A lot of work going on in Southeast Missouri right now. I will try to collect all the info this weekend and update the sheet. Hoping to see the site at 55 & HWY E producing 4G soon. It has had cabinets and antennas for months now and today it was out of service. Fingers are crossed!

I believe the St. Louis area has stolen all the contractors. I haven't seen any progress in months.

A site in Cape (55 & HWY 74) that was recently accepted 3G is suppose to go 4G accepted tomorrow.  I wonder if I should hold my breath???

If true, that will drive me insane since I've seen no signs of anything in about a month down here. How did you find this out?

3 more 3G updates for MO Market.

Yep, looks like a city announced for Summer has some completed work on it.

The site in Miner MO has a huge roll of fiber sitting in front of the fence...  It is so bright and pretty!!

That has been sitting there for quite a while. I'm pretty sure that the fiber and conduit are already ran since there is an in-ground junction box directly in front of the tower near the road. This is the tower I expected to start broadcasting LTE first in my area.

Yeah, doesn't seem right exactly to me. No matter what, it's nice to hear the last piece of the puzzle might be completed.

T1s? Nice to hear about the Sikeston hookup, but is that enough to run LTE, and does that mean I should see some light up within a week?
