What I meant is that the Nexus 5 is the only phone that Sprint carries that is unlocked and can access LTE Bands 1,2,4,5,17,19,25,26,41 making it usable on T-Mobile and AT&T LTE networks by switching Sim cards.

I recommend you try out the nexus 5 for one major reason that completely sold me, its the only phone that gives me the freedom to go. It has the ability to use T-Mobile's and AT&T's network with the switch of a Sim card. You can also enjoy B25 B26 and B41 on Sprint's network. Something you can't do with any other phone in the market right now. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong) If you can purchase the phone and stay away from contract plans this would help with network frustrations since currently no network is perfect. I have friends on other network that have their complaints that's why I never left Sprint and decided to stick it out.

What made you choose the S5?

Come to the Bronx and try out band 41 over here. I warn You will be hooked. I was in your shoes a year ago hating sprint and ready to jump ship. Now I'm hooked on tri-band using my nexus 5. I just got my wife the awesome LG G3 and she is hooked on WiFi calling. Can't wait for more B26 goodness to deploy. I learned to forget the past and focus on the future of Sprint now that is in better hands (Softbank $$$). Mobile Technology is changing too fast for all carriers. I realize its mostly about cell radio spectrum bandwidth and the resources behind it that makes a strong network survive this fast pace mobile business. I believe Sprint definitely has a winning chance at it.

Spent today at Brooklyn bridge park with the fam.

I don't agree with the new radio being the culprit. I think the old radios were ignoring network CFSB issues where the new radio seems to place you on the band with the best service making sure you receive calls. A usable LTE band is not "really" usable if it has CFSB problems. Unless you are not concern with receiving calls then I guess the 4.4.4 radio is not the one for you.

Nexus 5 -
I was implying to his B26 signal. Since it seems that a lot of B26 sites are not ecsfb optimized. At least here in NYC Anytime I find a B26 signal it doesn't last long before jumping on to 3G on the 2.x.x.16 radio. I have no problems with B25 and B41.
-
Good luck on getting phone calls tho. 1.15 seems to ignore ecsfb problems.
-
Fordham and Webster B26. First time I held B26 for 20 minutes. I guess ecsfb is working in that location.

I'm wondering how sprint handles the voice process at my home. When I'm at home I get a fringe signal that goes back and forth from LTE B41 (-120dbm/-132dbm) to 3G (1xRTT/ehrpd -104dbm) while is sitting on my desk idling. Sometimes it goes into 1x800 @ -85dbm (SCP alert) but it doesn't hold for long. When I'm at work and many other places and I place a call I have been getting great call service on 1x800 or 1xRTT (sometimes HD), but when I'm home my calls are bad, they seem to break up a lot or even drop at times making it very unreliable. I know I may have some very thick walls to deal with but what about that 1x800 signal that occasionally comes in? It doesn't seem to come in when I'm on a call. Can this be that my nearest cell site needs some calibration or downtilt?
-
Inside my apartment I get a weak fringe signal that always kept me on 3G with a -104dbm signal, but with this new 4.4.4 radio my N5 is camping on B41 ranging from -118dBm to -131dBm. I didn't think B41 could penetrate like that.
-
I can't speak for the M8 but here in NYC specially in the Bronx my N5 seems more sensitive to B41. I seem to connect to B41 75% of the time. I have no complaints since the 4.4.3 update. I can personally say the N5 has been the best phone I ever had.
-
I'm getting unusual high battery usage by SCP. Is anyone else having the same?

Bay plaza mall in da bronx! By the AMC theater. Sweet!

I'm still being push mostly to B41. Its B41/B25/B26 70/25/5 % of the time.
-
It all depends on what you value the most. I personally like the simplicity of stock android. I would hold to see what Google I/O brings. But that G3 does look tempting.
-
No way why would you want that. lol Nexus 5 will not get it either is not a Sprint branded device and has no Sprint apps or bloatware.
-
Try going into to the Dallas forums and see how other spark devices are performing. here in NYC I have been connecting to B41 a lot more in the last few days. I'm under the impression that Sprint has made changes since the update came. I came to the conclusion the 4.4.3 update was never the problem, it has been the network all along. The.13 radio seems to show where the network needs a fix.
-
maybe try a PRL and a profile update on all three devices. Spark is working on my N5 just perfect here in NYC. maybe they are working on the network there. How sure are u that Spark is not working on these devices? have u checked to see if all three bands are enabled on them?
-
I have no complaints with the Nexus 5 or the new .13 radio. Works great on all LTE bands. LTE to 3G back to LTE works as it should, displaying where there are network issues. IMO This is the phone Sprint network engineers should be using to calibrate the network.
-
Here in the Bronx B41 is almost every where I go. I work outdoors and it seems that every time I check im on B41. Its about 80% of the time. And every time I catch B25 it doesn't seem to hold for long before it hands over to B41. B26 seems to be a work in progress, whenever I see it I get the "no calls" message before knocking me down to 3G.
