Patience worked for me here in my area of Oklahoma City. This morning the tower by my work now has LTE for my N5. It's much stronger signal strength when compared to my Note 2

Yes, one tower that I had issues with seems to be working, but the one closest to my work still won't allow LTE to connect without forcing it. I'm in the Oklahoma City area

I appreciate the effort, but I'm in Oklahoma, which you have listed as 'good' but I'm having issues with 3G/4G towers

Sites in the 73034 area code are listed as yellow. Forcing LTE does work on these sites. A purple site near my home connects without forcing after toggling airplane mode or making a call.

To reiterate:
Nexus 5
Edmond, OK 73034
Northern Oklahoma City
Sites that are yellow on the map are the ones causing me issues

Edmond, OK 73034 and much of Oklahoma City metropolitan area. As others say, forcing LTE does work, but causes loss of voice and SMS transmission

I've been told by chat that there are no known issues with the network, and they couldn't troubleshoot the phone. Then told to go to a Sprint repair store for further assistance.

Possibly. I did enable all bands in the LTE settings menu and saw no improvement on this particular tower by my work that's giving me issues

I get signal near home without any issues, but at work I get forced to CDMA. I tried without a case here at work and got no change. I'm using the Spigen Neo Hybrid
This sounds like the exact same thing that is happening to me. It seems that traveling away from a connected LTE tower somehow disallows other towers to successfully connect to LTE. That's the best way I can describe it at least
This is exactly what I've wondered. Sprint chat basically thinks I'm crazy and tells me to go to a repair center, but I'll wait and see if Sprint updates their profile and PRL for this phone after it's officially available. The way others have no issues makes me want to just return it to Google and try another one
