I some how doubt they are going to reverse the signal decrease changes in the current firmware when it updates later. I guess if you are in an 800 LTE area it shouldn't matter much.

True but for now I need the best band 25 signal I can get. I would like to connect to band 41 though.

I've found this screen to be wonky but I eventually got it set to B26-1, B41-2, B25-3. Since B25 is jammed packed in a lot of places here.

I don't know if the nexus will even connect to other bands because I've gone by sites that I've seen getting worked on and not get a signal. I don't know if sprint is blocking connections or of the nexus is doomed until the firmware update.

Edit- band 41 sites

I've been doing my best to read through and search the thread, but can't find something that has probably been discussed already. What band priority settings are you all using? I enabled all the bands already but don't have a firm grasp on the priority relationship determined by 1 or 0. Thanks in advance.

I have mine set to band 25 - 0, band 26 - 0, band 41 -1. Which reads out band 41 - 1, band 25 -2, band 26 - 3.

41 for speed. 25 coverage. 26 in building penetration.

My classes ended but for the one site that was at my college campus, I connected to it just fine (after cycling airplane mode.)

Do you keep all the bands enabled or just 41 and 25? Also does haven't the additional bands enabled effect your battery life?

I got s full 24 hrs yesterday and I had to charge my phone twice today. Also my time without signal was higher today than other days. Do you think that my phone was trying to connect to other bands today?

So I've had the phone going on three days now, and I must say the battery life on this thing is insane. I'm sitting at 11 hours and 62% battery left.

To me it seems that when the phone is asleep it fares well. When awake and being used it seems to run down pretty quick.

Has anyone had any luck connecting to a band 41 site? I can't seem to connect at all are connections being blocked?

Every where I've been around town I receive LTE connectivity. Except for the town center. I haven't gone out towards WGV at all. From my experience the West side, North side, clay county are all blanketed with LTE.

A Sprint T-Mobile combo could just raise their prices to line up with the big two and we all lose as consumers.

What app or apps do you use to see which bands are being used?

 

Masayoshi Son, the Softbank CO, is pretty ambitious and seems to have a good track record. He has been saying since June that he wants to buy T-Mobile as well, and that was back when he was trying to beat out Dish Network for Sprint and Clearwire. My impression of him is that he knows his business. He founded Softbank and has built a pretty respectable empire. I don't think that he is a meathead NBA bean counter type.

I've been using the the debug menu on my nexus to see the band I'm connected to

A couple other exciting things today. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Sprint is working on a possible bid for T-Mobile. I'd really like to see Softbank shake things up in the mobile market. AT&T and Verizon could use more competition.

 

The other thing I saw is that Houston just had 55 CDMA 800 upgrades accepted. So, it seems that once they get the ball rolling on this, it moves pretty fast.

I don't want to begin talking about what I think of a Sprint T-Mobile merger. I just want Sprint to focus on one project at a time. Since I bought my Nexus 5 I'm impressed by how much of the city Sprint covers with band 25 alone is amazing. At this point band 26 is overkill (Good thing though). There wont be a place in most cities where you can't receive a Sprint LTE signal. I find myself not seeing 3g at all most days. Ive been looking all over tower trying to connect to band 41 but can't seem to do so. 2014 is definitely going to be Sprints year to shine.

Sprint needs to focus on finishing Network Vision first. Then after the network vision is complete they can go out the T Mobile. Until then they shouldn't do anything

Out house

I was out at the town center on Monday doing so Christmas shopping and I was stuck in 3g land. I even roamed inside of target.

Digiblur, are you going to develop a ROM for the nexus 5?

I have the OTA notification for 4.4.2... Do you guys know if I can just flash the ZIP in CWM or do I need to return to stock?

I downloaded the full 4.4.2 stock rooted ROM at xda flashed it and wiped cache and delvik cache. Only thing it installed was the ROM itself. No bootloader, no radio, etc.

The one I downloaded was extracted by bigxie.

Dirty flashed to 4.4.2 from a clean install of 4.4.1 and still no voicemail indicator. Do I need to wipe cache/delvik cache?

Sent from my Nexus 5 (RF Beast)

According to some folks at xda this update is only 1.7mb and it's a patch to some files from the 4.4.1 update

If I was not on a Triband device, I'd have an inconsistent 4G connection here waiting for my next class to start at 6pm.

 

Netflix/Reddit is blazing on this speed.

Is your device connecting to band 41 automatically or do you have to airplane mode or LTE only mode?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Probably fixing the radio that was broken in 4.4.1. Maybe adding voice mail notification.

Another issue I'm curious if other people are seeing. Tapatalk 4 is hanging a lot on the Nexus 5 when trying to read S4GRU. I can't say it's a kitkat issue, because it seems to work ok on my N7.

 

This is when connecting to Wifi, so it's something to do with tapatalk on the N5.. Anyone else seeing this ? It's annoying when trying to keep up with this forum from the phone.

My tapatalk was locking up on me a few days ago. I don't know why but it hasn't happened in a couple days.

Sent from my Nexus 5 (RF Beast)

Have you enabled ART on your N5 yet? I've heard that gives a good boost in battery performance. Also, I have Snapdragon Battery Guru installed. Not sure how much of a difference it makes, but it doesn't seem like it hurts anything, either.

I haven't messed with that yet. I'll wait a little while

[coughs] Yeah, I always enjoy going a day or two between charges [/coughs]

Looks like the G2 is the battery beast. I had to go with the RF beast instead. I'm always around a charger. I needed the reception.

Sent from my Nexus 5 (RF Beast)

Getting good battery life today. The first couple hours was sleeping when I took it off the charger last night but this is the first day I made it without putting the phone on the charger.

This is also the first day I've been off work with the phone. At work I make hours of phone calls and listen to google music for hours on in therefore killing my battery life a bit.

Sent from my Nexus 5 (RF Beast)

The RF on this phone is second to none. I connect to LTE at my mother in laws house in which on my EVO I would roam indoors.
