    Picked up B26 from a site 2.2 mi (straight line) away from my house while inside today. Propagation on 800 is very nice. I should note the land between me and the tower is covered in housing and I'm located in a valley. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Different uses of the name, so no. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    First sighting of 800 that I've had. B26 from the same site as well. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Oh sorry I didn't notice that when I took a glance at the map. My point still stands that sprint is near unusable while other carriers whose LTE networks are more mature do not have as much degradation in service.

    There are 3 sites that are full legacy and they are the ones surrounding the stadium. Tmobile is very useable here during the game (not sure if they have small cells) as well as Verizon (again not sure about small cells).

    Sprint really needs to get downtown done. I'm at the cards game and data is pretty much unusable. Had to switch to my tmo sim.

    Have you successfully picked up any LTE with your Nexus 5? If not, I would try re-seating the SIM card. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    AT&T MVNO's/prepaid can use LTE... Verizon prepaid is 3G only. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Oh right I forgot stock shows 1x as 3G. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Yes IL side. B26 is all over here Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    More 26 in O'Fallon, this time with eCSFB. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    There's no such thing as EVDO on 800MHz on Sprint's network. You were either on 1x800 data or very weak EVDO. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    You don't see an exact number and instead see them using the word "prioritization" because that is what they are doing. Network prioritization is not the same as a hard throttle. Network prioritization basically means that the people in the 95% will have priority over the 5% during times of congestion. There's no specific speed the 5% will be throttled to because their requests are simply going to be assigned a secondary priority to the 95%. It will work very similarly to how QoS systems do, only with multiple mobile devices instead of data types. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    .23 drops the LTE signal quicker at low levels because 3g is faster once LTE drops below -110 or so. .15 will cause you to miss calls and texts if it connects to a non-eCSFB tower and you won't realize it. .17 fixes the eCSFB issue because it won't connect to towers that don't have it. It also holds LTE longer even when dropping to 3G would be better. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Beginning of the week for system updates so that they can monitor the rollout. That's not out of the ordinary. Releases go through lots of testing before being approved. Also, there could still be a build bump before we see the release. The changelog is not necessarily complete. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Video throttling was in place before framily existed. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    I don't think there will be a specific speed they throttle to. The FAQ states that "the customer will be subject to network prioritization for the following month." They don't name a hard throttle because there isn't one. High data users will simply have a lower priority attached to their requests. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    B26 east of STL (Illinois). No CSFB yet.
  20. EvanA
    Metro east. No CSFB with B26 yet... I had to use the .15 radio on my Nexus 5 to connect. EDIT: More specifically there is B26 in Fairview, Swansea, Shiloh, and O'Fallon.

    Oh hi there B26 Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  22. EvanA
    Is there any evidence of a second B25 carrier being added in the STL area? I know sprint got the extra PCS spectrum from the U.S. Cellular deal. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    You don't need to cut anything from the signal check screen. The only thing that can't be posted in public forums is the site ID, which signal check can't/doesn't even show. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Yeah I realize that, which is why I mentioned I was at a crowded event when I noticed it. Haven't seen it outside of those conditions. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  25. EvanA
    I was seeing this earlier at a crowded event. LTE signal was coming in at levels of -95 and above but I was occasionally forced onto 3G or even 1x. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
