Probably a mile and a half from the nearest one. I think poor downtilt is to blame, especially when the 1x800 is worse than the 1x1900. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk -
Actually on second glance there is 1x800 but the Ec/Lo is ridiculously high causing the Nexus to not grab it. Very odd. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Well I have picked up several 1x800 towers on the drive over, but no 1x800 or B26 off of the two Belleview towers. Bummer lol. Only able to hold a -104 to -106dbm 1x1900 signal where I am. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Very likely but it could be by design to reduce interference. I think the truth of the matter is that we really shouldn't be observing a wildly stronger 1x800 signal unless we are in an area that is really needing it. Like rural areas with distant tower placings. Or perhaps inside concrete buildings. I don't know the technical details behind 1x interference but it makes sense that Sprint would intentionally hold back on some of 1x800's potential range to limit interference with adjacent sites that are spaced for 1x1900. In urban areas like Jax I think that the only advantage we will regularly encounter will be better building penetration. Feel free to agree or disagree. Just throwing something out there.

I'm going to be in the area this weekend and am really hoping to have some B26 on the Belleview site. My parents house is in the void between two sites and I always get cut off from the world when I am there lol. With any luck I'll have some coverage now! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Hmmm I've been working a lot in the area and was hoping for some local testers with Android SVLTE devices. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I believe someone in the Tampa thread had the same assertion and disabling B26 worked wonders for him. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Any of you guys sporting any non-triband devices? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
-
I concur with this... It works better for me. Plain and simple. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

You should limit your selection to just the tri-band devices of the group to get the best experience overall. If you are in a fringe area you will greatly benefit when Band 26 is rolled out to your area, if it isn't already, so you don't want to miss out on that. Between the HTC One (M8), LG G2, and Nexus 5 you really couldn't go wrong with any of them. I really like HTC's Sense and what they have done with their phones, but the camera can be a disappointment in less than favorable circumstances. The G2 gets raving reviews from many members of this site, but personally I find the UI to be quite unattractive. If signal is important above all else, then your choice is the Nexus 5 hands down. It is the current RF performances champ.

Using one of the flash able zips posted on XDA. I keep all of them available go me to flash as needed. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Well I am on .15 again lol. My phone refused to drop the -130dBm B41 signal in Publix and wasn't usable. Flashed .15 in store and was on a great B25 signal. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thankfully, it does not. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Many have, many times over. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Set B25 to 0 and everything else to 1. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
-
Opposite experience here. Mine holds onto B41 far longer than I would like it to. I noticed on my run this morning that once I was a mile and a half away from the tower the .13 radio would still hold a very weak B41 signal. Normally I get switched over to a stronger B25 signal. Are your band preferences updated in the *#*#DATA#*#* menu? I keep mine at B25- 3 B26- 1 B41- 2. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
-
I keep all the radio zips on my phone just for that reason. There don't seem to be any drawbacks to .15 in a eCSFB matured area so I imagine I'll end up back on that before long. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Pretty sure it is the same bootloader that was on 4.4.2. You shouldn't need to flash it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
-
TWRP will reinstall root if it notices that you lose it after a flash, so the zip probably didn't include it. TWRP even restored my root and I flashed via fastboot. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Looks like MX Player is another 4.4.3 casualty. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I'd like to follow this. Post the link when you post it on XDA Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Hope this doesn't get buried in all of the update discussions, but for those of you that have used Dalvik optimizations and ART... Which do you find provides better battery life? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
-
Fortunately it is an easy fix to go back to the .15 radio if you preferred that. I'm going to test drive .13 for a week but I may go back as well. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Works fine here. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
