Some people say it allows the N5 to be stronger in the RF department, but I still think .17 is better in that regard.

 

The real magic is that .15 connects to B41 effortlessly, albeit there are a few negative consequences like you have mentioned. I keep both radio radio files on my phone and flash back and forth as I see fit.

Well since I'm on vacation this week I'm going to take .15 for a test drive and see how it works. 90% of the sites on the North side is 3G/4G accepted so I shouldn't have any probs. I want to see if I can get some b41 action.

Did you have to do anything special to connect to b41?

Flash the .15 radio, you will be astonished. I have to say from the few B41 sights I have connected to, I am really glad to be in an old WiMax market with many separate Clearwire towers. Quite a few of them are in Sprint dead zones and augment the coverage PERFECTLY.

So the .15 radio is better than the .17? Also what's the deal with people not being able to send and receive calls with .15

Band26 here at the Daytona Speedway?

I was just in Daytona for two days and was near the track and didn't even try enabling the extra bands.

Maybe those are the sites I'm running into when I try the prl trick for b41 connectivity

Yep .15 baseband does everything everyone says it does. I couldn't send outgoing texts, or get any incoming ones for that matter.

Well at least you got to experience the most important thing. ;-)

The WiMax coverage in Jax was pretty good. I rarely used it because of the battery drain. I mainly used it when downloading big files and YouTube videos. I can't wait until my Nexus 5 receives Tri-Band update.

Well, I'm here at the River City Market place and the LTE site here is bogged down this evening. So bad I got kicked from LTE back to EVDO. Which was faster than being on LTE.

Now I see what you guys were talking about when you said that band 41 is a must. I can't wait for this tri band update.

Boooooom!

 

The key seems to be the baseband.Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I'm on the old .17 baseband

I tried that PRL trick to get band 41. It didn't work for me. It would connect to band 41 for a split second then I get kicked off and the phone goes into roaming.

Has anyone experience this?

I found a site on Brannan-Field Road across from the Oak leaf High school that has NV panels installed over the weekend for those of you in that area. An extra layer of coverage for all the homes in that area.

How were your speeds? Mine were really good, even with -110 to -114dBm whilst in-building, all through the town centre. Obviously, outside I was seeing a much better airlink and of course, faster speeds. Not bad, considering how bad EVDO is/was in this area. Band 41 is going to get swallowed up in this area unless they add another site on the north side of the Town Centre. LTE 800 will do wonders, though.

I didn't do any speed tests but everything I needed to do that involved mobile data actually worked.

I gave up on the band 41 connectivity. Im just going to wait on the update.

Well, I was out at the Town Center yesterday. The area has improved a lot with LTE being available. The only store I didn't get LTE reception was Target. Other than that every where else was good. Jacksonville as a whole has come a long way in the last 12 months.

If you are rooted have you tried Greenify?

Has anyone noticed when they perform an update profile that their band 41 changes from first scan to second scan priority?

I was at the Longhorn steakhouse across the street from that site and was roaming inside the restaurant even though the site had NV panels

I know when I updated my phone to 4.1.1 and my radio went to .23 my radio was weaker. Went back to .17 better connectivity inside of buildings. Many people experienced this prob.

It was automatic. I just looked down at my phone to see how my signal strength was and saw the asterisk by Sprint* in SignalCheck. Looked at my engineering screens and ran a speedtest and took screenshots.

I guess I'll enable all my bands after losing hope but good to see reports of band 41 though.

Picked up some Band 41 in downtown Fort Worth on my Nexus 5.

I haven't noticed any, and I am using several extensions. If you are running into an issue, its likely extension-specific.

Just wanting some feedback of users before trying it out. Seems like there's no issues so I'll give it a try.
