Anyone have delayed texts on. 15? I've had texts delivered 30min late on lte (from other ppl) . The modem shouldn't really be an issue right?

Haha I'm just too eager! But this phone is amazing. Fantastic rf performance, great battery life.

It is taking a long time for them to roll out the spark update... Just saying... Let's go Google

When I bought the nexus 5 I figured it would get a quick update due to it being a Nexus. Oh well... I still think it is a battery issue. If they can't get that under control, I'm not sure if they'll release it. A phone that works for only 6 hours is a paper weight.

I left my phone off the charger last night, it had been on for about 20hrs and was down to 76%

Use greenify app

Haha I'll be in hartford on Wednesday, so I'll look for that 41 now that I have my Nexus!

How do you get to band priorities, just activated my phone...

 

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Highly recommend signal check pro, there's a Dialer code and the program has shortcuts to everything. Click on data and you can go to lte and enter your msl and edit the priorities then the phone reboots

So why are they making this change?

I should make a new thread, sorry

Yep.

As far as the 30 day comment I wouldnt doubt it's that close but I haven't heard it personally. With how they've changed online and telesales so drastically in the last few weeks I believe it will happen soon.

So I upgraded 2 lines to nexus 5, but the iPhone lines want to wait until the next version... So when they upgrade they would kick the whole plan into framily?

Honestly, I've been a big sprint fan

, but if they start doing the same tiered stuff as the other evil two then what keeps me on sprint?

you restart afterwards so it boots into the normal boot file. The boot.IMG isn't flashed but just a temp boot code. Its not permanent. Idr the differences. They all worked the same in my area. Just enabled the scanning of different area 800 sid which helped me connect as Ericsson set the 1x800 here to one in Washington state

Just wanted to say thanks for the Prl advice, did it last night and sat on 800mhz all day, and by Windows I get lte

Thanks!

can you point me to the boot.img needed, with 200 pages in multiple threads, i can't find it, thanks!

yeah I'm on a premier sponsor prl. Just used qpst

What's the difference between the premier and regular Prl?

 

Is there any adverse consequences to flashing the boot. IMG of the g2 onto a nexus 5?

Thanks

You can use that prl with the nexus 5 just fine. several of us are.

Wait!? I thought we couldn't write manual prls yet? Has it been discovered how? Where? Please!

I wouldn't mind a little more (or some/any) penetration in my house. {insert witty pun here}

While the radio is much better than my gs3, i miss digiblurs Prl prioritizing 800. I find the signal is just strong enough so it bounces back between CDMA and 800mhz in my concrete building

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

Sent from my Nexus 5

Yes you need to enable the bands in the engineering screen, need to know your msl
Should be in the email sprint sent you when activating (they call it activation code, it's 6 digits)

I hope the update for Spark happens before mine ships on the 7th. 32G black. I stopped by the closest Sprint corporate store and no sim but it was painless getting one shipped and it should beat the phone by a couple weeks.

The question is will the spark update (which I assume we'll have a new baseband?) perform as well as .15 does?

Did the calls actually fail? Or did you just grow impatient and redial? Outgoing calls on e/CSFB devices connected to LTE often take 15-20 seconds to initiate because of the fallback to CDMA1X. Conversely, incoming calls on e/CSFB devices connected to LTE can ring several seconds earlier.

On my Nexus 5, it sits on lte and cdma goes through a different non lte tower. Takes an instant to call out, although sometimes after takes a while to pick up a tower after ending a call

Idk I'm pretty sure I've read that the tower needs to be updated. Works fine up here in northern Ct (alu market I believe)

I was definitely on hd voice in northern connecticut, was so clear, call quality was amazing

has anyone noticed it taking a considerable amount of time to reconnect to LTE after a phone call?  I'm sitting on LTE, make a call, drops to 1x on a close tower for the call, then takes 30sec or more for the radio to connect to either tower again.

 

This happened tonight in a completely different location too

 

on .15

I called while connected to b41 and it sent the call to the closest 1x site. This was from a non co located site too

was this on an ecsfb site?  So if you're on .15 connected to band 41 on a non-ecsfb upgraded site you can't receive calls but you can still call out?  Did i sum that up right?

I've had a hunch that .15 had spark enabled for testing but got disabled in the .17/.23 updates for whatever reason. Thanks! If some more people could flash the .15 baseband to Double check.

 

Edit: if possible try for screenshots too!

So is the consensus ...?

.15 like .17 but with band 41 and 26 but doesn't detect lack of ecsfb...meaning trouble with calls

.17 holds fringe LTE on 25 but no 26/41

.23 best for calls

I love my nexus 5 but I really miss digiblurs prl

Really I didn't know texts are delayed over 1x!wow!

Nexus 5 reception is incredible, my gs3 could barely see lte at my place and this phone it's usable

So is it better to use 17 and hold lte signal of - 112 or use 23 which sits on the 3g only tower right next to me?

 

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

 

I think the .23 baseband lets go of a fringe LTE signal in order to drop back to EVDO/1X to more reliably receive phone calls. I know mine will hold onto a -123dBm signal and I'll get lots of voicemails without the phone ever having rung.

Flashed .15 and it grabs the LTE tower far away from me with a signal of -120dbm.  .23 occasionally connects to it, but mostly sits on the 3g only tower 1 mile from me
