    Sprint already has 1x800 on every fully modernized tower, except where restricted by public safety and international borders. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    I don't have smudging issues on mine. Maybe the oleophobic coating has worn off a bit more with age. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    There were workers at my local flagpole LTE GMO yesterday. I saw them just as they were packing up and leaving. Not sure what they were doing, but they had a boom truck and the flag was lowered, so obviously something with antennas. It still appears to be a GMO but I'll watch it and see if they added B41 or something.

    In Ericsson and Samsung markets there are low key deployments for 4x2 MIMO. They are going back to the sites and adding a second dual band antenna to enable 4x2. It isn't really for CDMA capacity anymore. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    In addition, VZW and ATT run 10MHz of 700MHz LTE vs Sprint's 5MHz. 5MHz is more susceptible to interference, which limits the useable range. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    There's a report of issues on the Sprint subreddit. I'm having no problems so far on the IL side http://www.reddit.com/r/sprint/comments/4szvi1/_/ Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    Hm alright. Is Mike already aware of the issue? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    I thought that too, but the discrepancy between engineering screens and signal check doesn't make any sense. The reported 1x RX power from the engineering screen doesn't match the value for 1x or EVDO as reported by signal check.

    Picked up a used 5X last week from B&H Photo to replace my Nexus 5 which the WiFi had stopped working on. Today was my 5th day with the device as my daily driver and here are my impressions so far. Build: Solid. I'd say it's better than the OG Nexus 5. Much more stiff and feels great in the hand. The size is a good upgrade over the N5 in my opinion. The N5 has started to feel a little small to me. Performance: Great for everyday tasks, which is all I use it for. I don't game or anything so I don't have issues with the device overheating. It can get a little warm at times from the A57's being active but that will change with N. Battery generally lasts me all day, although this needs more testing. Network: Much improved over the N5. The LTE scan intervals are much shorter and the device holds on to LTE better from what I've seen. The only strange issue I have seen is the poor 3G reception. Signal check generally reports that 1x and EVDO around 5dBm+ worse than the Nexus 5. I'm beginning to wonder if this is a reporting error because I am still able to make and receive calls, texts and MMS even when SC reports 1x800 at -110dBm and EVDO at -100dBm. Another reason I suspect some sort of bug is that the engineering screens report 1x receive power of -95dBm when SC reports -110dBm. Overall a great upgrade from my 2 year old Nexus 5. I tried out the N preview for a bit but it has some battery issues so I reverted back to MM. The N preview definitely kept the phone cooler because it turns off the A57 cores under normal use. N should bring much improvement to the phone on the performance and battery side.

    Only at max 100MHz is actionable. The extra 26MHz is reserved for guard bands and the duplex gap. Some markets have even less than 100MHz available. LA only has 50MHz available for auction. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Fitz's at lunch time. Wish my 5X was here already so I could check out some of that 2xCA goodness.

    The VoLTE problem is on its way to being solved. The GSMA just finalized an global standard for VoLTE called OMD (Open Market Device). More info here http://np.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/4of25n/_/

    I'd see if you can get a look at the basestation and maybe the power meters to find out who it is.

    Is there equipment on it yet? It could probably be easily identified with a picture of it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Their deployment strategy is going to vary based on individual cell needs. There's not a hard and fast rule for how they set up every site. Sprint is already aggressively refarming voice capacity for LTE. In the Dayton OH area they are down one 1x and one EVDO carrier with 10MHz FDD LTE in PCS. The only other voice carrier is the one in SMR. The only way they can squeeze more LTE capacity out of PCS at this point is when EVDO is shut down, which will probably be a ways out.

    Marcelo teasing a sale on phones for this Saturday https://twitter.com/marceloclaure/status/735620521518325761 Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    The deal doesn't actually close until Q4, so I highly doubt deployment this year.

    Pregame on the DAS My mom is on WiFi and it seems very responsive. Not sure of the actual speeds. My Nexus 5's WiFi chip stopped working so I can't connect.

    Design and testing has probably already started so that the equipment vendors can bring products to market ASAP. Lots of people said they couldn't reach their EoY 2015 LTE coverage goal, and they ended up shattering it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    They'll probably be able to in areas where there are no TV stations to move. That's a very limited rural area, but as long as the equipment is available it shouldn't be an issue.

    The WiFi system at Busch is officially online for tonight's game. Cardinals twitter tweeted this photo of an antenna setup. https://i.imgur.com/rlbCVz6.jpg Looks like the WiFi deployment is completely separate from the DAS. Those antennas don't look like DAS to me. It'll be interesting to see how much people offload to WiFi and how it holds up. I might be there for a game this weekend.

    Here's the screenshot in question. Apparently 800 voice was just launched last week as well, so good to see B26 following quickly behind. https://mobile.twitter.com/i/status/732745992026488833/photo/1

    I concur. There are many sites in StL with 4x2MIMO and their PCIs haven't changed.

    If properly implemented with listen before talk and other mitigation technologies there won't be any issues. Radio equipment is designed to prevent stray harmful interference, unlike your typical Chinese electronics that don't have proper EM shielding and design.
