For the users that are using dash clock and its extensions does this widget and add one cause any significant battery drain?

Probably just trying to hold people over like others have suggested. Pretty sure T-Mobile is sucking up a lot of the people that are on the fence, for better or worse.

True. I forgot about the etf deal. I'm NOT going anywhere anytime ever. Lol

I got that text last night from Sprint. I am guessing they are trying to prevent people from jumping ship since the last earnings report showed a higher than expected number of customer losses.

Or maybe in 2014 they want to keep their customers informed about the network upgrades. Since the other carriers are publicly stating what they are doing.

Thanks to digiblur my N5 is totally customizable. I didn't want to install a custom ROM because developers tend to over theme and customize their Roms. Gravity box has all the right tweaks for me.

I'm so happy with this phone I don't need the update. This phone holds on to usuable LTE signals where on 1x I would have a -101 signal.

Yeah something interesting is going on. Its been a few weeks without an eHRPD sighting for me.

I see it but it's usually a sec or two before connecting to LTE again.

You guys were definitely on to something when you all were saying that eHRPD wasn't connecting and devices were dropping back 3g and staying there. This has been going on for at least a week. Hopefully when this clear up we will see some type of 800 service. CDMA or LTE

So I know this phone is very popular with the technically inclined crowd. But how about those that are less technical? Would this be the best tri-band phone to recommend to family and friends?

Yes if they are not interested in the gimmicky features of the other Android phones.

Just imagine if a combined Sprint/T-Mobile didn't have to divest any spectrum. Sprint could very well be unstoppable.

And we'd be paying a lot more for service too. I don't approve of the merger.

I've stop doing speed test until I can actually connect to band 41 on my N5. It is good to know that sprint is out performing the competitor's.

Jacksonville is covered well from Nassau county through Duval and into clay county. Only exception is the Southside/ Town Center area. I'm very pleased with the network sprint has. When 800 come online it'll help the building penetration.

I use these.. There's another ad blocking one but I just use adaway.

 

Xprivacy is another favorite of mine. Block all those nasty permissions from apps and even spoofs the GPS location to where you want instead of refusing the app the call.

 

That YouTube ad one looks nice

Install, reboot, and then you go into the installer again and download the modules you want.

Any other goodies I should know about other than gravity box?

And here's why I like root and Gravity Box so much... it's a long video but it walks you through just about every feature.

 

That gravity box is nice do you have a link where I can get this.

Why is no one withba android device picking up band 26

Because they are enjoying band 41

I caught 1X 800 along I-295 between I-95 and old St. Augustine the past 2 days.

How far are you away from that tower?

So I've made a conclusion as to whether or not the Battery Guru app works. And I can say that it really does. The app really does a great job at minimizing battery use from each and every app. On the plus side, it also didn't stop from emails and notifications from coming in.

 

I don't have pictures, but normally in the mornings from 7:30 to 9:30 my phone would have been at about 90%, that's not bad for two hours, but with this app, today I've used my phone how I normally do and I've talked on the phone as well for about 30 minutes, and I'm sitting at 94% almost at 10 o'clock.

 

By the time I get home, I was normally around 65%-75% but now I get home with 80% and this is with mixed use at work (texting, couple calls, and some light browsing). Late at night, after watching maybe an hour of youtube videos, I end up with about 20% battery left.

 

The only problem that I have encountered with this app is the WiFi Management. It won't necessarily turn on WiFi when I'm at work and/or at home, but it's only happened a couple of times in the last week or so that I've been using it. Thankfully with the Nexus 5, turning on WiFi is just a long-press away.

 

So that's that, if you wanna try it, I'd say go ahead, you could probably gain an hour or two. Hope this helped.

Is this battery guru on the Google Play Store is it or is it something that I have to find on xda?

So today I drove all over St Augustine and lost LTE briefly 4 times at completely different towers and dropped data altogether and ended up on EVDO every time. Very odd. Hopefully this means something is being done on the 3G end of the towers. Maybe SMR?

We can only hope.

The last time I experienced CDMA 800 it was after a citywide voice and SMS outage.

Have you guys seen a lack of ehrpd, particularly around the South-East side of Jax? Don't think my phone has reported ehrpd on 3G for about two weeks now.

I usually only see it disappear in low signal areas.

Has anyone ever seen this MCC ID # in their signal check?
