Wonder if Ericson is the common factor here. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Any different on .17? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Did the B26 sites have eCSFB? My guess would be that they did not and that's why you found them with .15 and not with .23. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I experienced that from some new B26 sites that weren't eCSFB enabled. Coincidentally, once it had eCSFB the same sites would have blazing 30mbps speeds. Might be something in the initial configuration affecting it... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

It has actually been quite fast considering all than has been done. I think by the end of July it may be widespread but I don't think it will be done. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Comes down to site proximity and bandwidth in the end. Both T-Mobile and Verizon have a lot more spectrum to throw at a single carrier there. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Don't think so but there was some 1x800 at OIA. You will only catch it outside because of their DAS inside. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I don't think you even need to be unlocked or have a custom recovery if you have the image file and flash it using the command line in fastboot. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Not at all from my experience, which has been considerable at this point. It is set to the highest priority on my phone and it will latch onto it and not let it go. Even in an area with perfect B25. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

What does it matter? I'm fine with less users on the network. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I know I have connected to B26 on .23 in downtown Orlando. That site has functional eCSFB. I do strongly recommend .15 though. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

.15 will take B26 that doesn't have eCSFB, but you should have no problem with ready-to-go B26 on any radio.

Terrell now that you are rooted, do yourself a favor and download the Franco Kernel Updater. The donate version is $5.50 on the play store, but he does have a free version out there as well. Personally as a developer I say pay the $5; it is completely worth supporting this guy. Really makes a difference with battery life.

The SID is 22433.

Gotcha I didn't recall that.

Actually that is the one I think I am sure isn't the case. I'm very confident in the person who created that PRL. He knew what he was doing. Something else is amiss. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I've reflashed it with DFS and QPST so I don't think the method is the cause. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Yeah looks to be an issue just when connecting to 1x800. Not sure why though. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Not sure. When I went downstairs and connected to my nearest 1x1900 site it also connected to EVDO just fine. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Glad I could help. I am actually noticing that on 513 my phone doesn't seem to want to find EVDO either. I'm going to reflash it or go back to 512.

Yep the range on 800mhz is ridiculous. Although it should be noticed I am on the top floor of a four story building right now. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Try reflashing the PRL. I'm assuming you are using 512 or 513? Also, EVDO is working fine on another Sprint device in the same area? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Okay so I have posted the instructions below. It looks much more daunting than it really is; the process is quite easy. You should be able to download the supporting boot.img and QPST from the links provided. If you guys want I can post my git repository link that has the boot.img I used, but it should be the same. I tested this on my devices just now before sending it and have done this same method about five times- never had any problems. Regardless, read my brief disclaimer before trying lol. Good luck! Any step with "Type: " refers to a command we are entering into the command prompt followed by enter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please follow this guide to the letter. I do not assume any responsibility or liability for what may happen to your device by attempting to modify your PRL, nor do I provide PRL's. As the user you assume all responsibility and risks associated with this. I also assume no risks for the 3rd party software used during this procedure. Note this is the PRL flash procedure just for the Nexus 5 device. Preparation Steps: 1. Download/install the Android SDK and have your six digit MSL number handy. 2. Find the Platform-Tools folder located in the SDK Directory. ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\platform-tools 3. Be sure to have the Nexus 5 drivers installed and USB Debugging mode enabled. 4. Download this boot.img from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2422719&d=1385755948) Unzip the image and place it INSIDE the platform-tools folder. 5. Download and install QPST 2.7 build 402. DO NOT install build 422! It is a fake that comes with a nasty accessory (trojan worm). You should be able to find it on XDA- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263391 6. DO NOT close the command prompt until we are entirely finished with the flash. Lets get started: 1. In the platform-tools folder, hold shift and right click, then select "Open Command Window Here". Note: The newly opened command prompt windows should reflect that we are in the platform-tools directory. 2. Type in the command prompt: adb devices Note: You should now see a serial number appear. This indicates that your devices drivers are installed and it is in USB debugging mode. If you don't see your device's serial number, try reconnecting the device, using another USB cord, restarting the computer, reinstalling the drivers, checking to be sure USB Debugging is installed, etc. 3. Type: adb reboot bootloader Note: This will reboot your devices into Fastboot mode 4. Type: fastboot boot boot.img Note: You should see on the cmd line that this is downloading the boot.img. Afterwards your phone will reboot normally. 5. Type: adb devices Note: We are verifying that our phone is still communicating with adb. See the trouble steps in step 2 if you have any issues. 6. Type: adb shell 7. Type: su Note: You will have to allow superuser permissions on your phone at this point. 8. Type: setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb Note: You will not see any activity on the command prompt or phone after this step, but you should hear a should from your computer, if your volume is on, to signify that your computer is installing the diag drivers. 9. Open QPST Configuration 10. You should see that there are a couple active ports in QPST. Highlight the one that has some number under the phone tab and has USB for the link. 11. In the menu bar: Start Client > Service Programming 12. Select your phone with your phone number and hit okay. 13. Go to the Roam tab and select "Read from phone". You will then have to enter your MSL number. 14. In the Roam tab, look in the Preferred Roaming section and browse for your .prl file. Select it and then click "Write to Phone" 15. Don't freak out... You should have gotten an error stating that your phone returned a permanent error and you will now notice that your phone does not have a signal. Close out of QPST- don't save any changes. 16. Type: adb reboot 17. When your phone reboots check in the Settings>About>Status page to be sure that your PRL took. Enjoy!

I'm away from my computer right now but later I can write a decent guide and give you everything you need. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
