Unfortunately, it seems that Jacksonville hasn't been updated yet to accommodate eCSFB devices. But hopefully soon it will be. Once connected, the G2 holds onto LTE close to - 130 and has impressive speeds even down that low.

So is eCSFB to TD LTE like eHRPD to CDMA to LTE? As far as handoffs goes.

So far, with the G2 for both myself and my wife, it is nearly impossible to connect to LTE and when we do, if it goes back to 1x or eHRPD, it won't go back to LTE without updating the prl or cycling between Global and LTE/CDMA. Maybe by Christmas the issues will be resolved.

That sucks man. I guess I'll hold out until about Jan. Maybe by that time the issue will be fixed. I'm going to get the nexus because I'm pretty much done with HTC and none of the phones out now doesn't appeal to me. So the nexus at $349 is a win for me. Also I have the 2012 nexus 7 and I love it.

Anyone here with a tri band device? What's going on with the connectivity issues? I'm looking to get a nexus 5 soon after I get Christmas shopping done for my kids.

Pretty much everywhere I go all around Jax. I've never picked up LTE inside the mall but outside the mall I do. I get LTE on all the major interstates and most major roads.

So far, not a single site along I-95 from WGV up to the south side can connect to LTE. There is faint LTE around Old St Augustine rd, but it was fleeting. Taking I-295 East up past JT Butler saw no hint of LTE. It goes without saying that there isn't any at the Town Center. So far, I have only seen LTE right in my neighborhood and inside the Avenues mall. At least when I got it while indoors of my house, even at a -110 dBm signal, I can pull nearly 30 Mbps. It will be nice once this gets sorted out.

There definitely an issue with your device. I pretty much pick up LTE everywhere especially outside.

Turns out that site I saw bring worked on is a sprint install. I thought it was a vzw install because they had the satefy lines connected to the vzw rack.

Looks like this is one of the final site on the North side.

I drove past this site for months and its finally being worked on.

Don't get my started on Town Center again lol.

Maybe they will get started soon. There's a site near my house that has been in progress since December 2012 and work haven't begun yet. I drove past the site today looks like Verizon wireless is adding their AWS equipment before Sprint makes it there. :-(

Parts of the southside and the beaches could really benefit from the 800mhz upgrades.

The whole city can benefit from 800mhz. Every building I go into there's a 70% chance that I'll go into roaming when I enter. Some places have gotten better (NV 3g accepted) with providing signal along the walls but in the center I'm roaming.

Respitory therapy

Who is picking up this device on launch day?

Not me. I wanted this device but I'm sold on the nexus. I want to try something other than HTC since my last 4 or 5 phones has been HTC.

Sweet I have to wait till April. I'm tired of how long updates come from carriers. At least its a Google phone it'll get them sooner then 6 months later

You can always buy it off contract from the play store for $349 for 16gb version. That's what I'm going to do as soon as the wait time cuts down some.

Mine is out for delivery already. Woohoo! Will be in my hands some time today.Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

Let us know how the battery life is after a couple days of use.

Is the nexus 5 a triband? I mean it is kinda better for me because im only one on sprint I still have me old phones that are still in cases with no scratches on them.

Yes the nexus 5 is tri band.

Quite possibly yes.

That sux I thought that since there's tri mode hotspots out there that can connect that the phone would connect with no prob.

If you can find the proper information... most of the authentication numbers are missing.

So your saying that even if it's hacked it still won't connect?

Also we all know that it will get hacked to enable the bands ahead of time. Similar to how the nexus 4 was hacked to get AWS LTE enabled.

I don't know if this has been mentioned here but how is the RF compared to other devices?

They will have a 4G symbol for spark. Watch the video

Sweet Sprint is going to be really disruptive. With these speeds and unlimited data. Sprint is going to shake things up in the wireless industry.

Now Sprint just needs to put some type of symbol next to their new 4g LTE logo to show that the user is connected to the spark network. Maybe a symbol similar to Walmarts next to the 4g LTE on the side?

Any network news out of the call?

Well I've flashed 3.17.xxx stock ROM. I already had all the firmware installed. I'm going to run this all week and see I notice any differences.

I can say this new base is a lot smoother than the older base.

Edit: will changing the bsr and LTE timers make a difference?

OK, I found a site across town and ran a test. I end up getting 29mbps down which is a new world record for my phone. Next thing is are there any ways to enhance my connectivity. I didn't realize how bad the EVO radio is until I placed it side by side with my fiancés iphone 5s.

I'm rooted with the latest firmware but still on 3.16 base. Should I update to the newest base and see if that helps or are there any settings in epst that I can change to help wit connectivity?

Its just your location, thats all. There are a few towers on my side of town where I can pull down 30mbps no matter if its day or night.

I've tested several different sites. Even in the early morning hours when everyone is asleep and the same thing happened over and over.

Does anyones EVO LTE gets over 12mbps Down on speed test? For some reason no more what time of day or night I do a speed test the results are never over 12mbps.

It no longer says that Florida and parts of Oklahoma are excluded..
