If you have Pro, try enabling "Show hidden data" and see what happens.. I *think* this is CSFB-issue related. The phone is not reporting an LTE connection, but it is seeing signal strength. I have seen it myself a few times, still trying to narrow down the specific situations in which it happens.

I did that and it shows up inside the app but nothing in the status bar.

The spreadsheet was based on data we received from Sprint that said areas that had the same vendor for legacy and NV Equipment would not have a problem. This has not entirely been the case. But we are hoping, and some have seen this, that those markets just need software updates. Have you tried other sites?

I will tomorrow, just got my n5 so I've been home

Easy way to tell, force LTE via hidden menu *#*#4636#*#* > Phone Info > LTE Only. If it works, its an eCSFB problem.

it doesn't connect to LTE

 

 

Edit: it connects. Signal check just wasn't showing anything

Have you read through the relevant article and thread? You are clearly experiencing e/CSFB issues.

 

AJ

yes I have, just thought the dc area wasn't affected by it

The PRL update part was a running joke. A PRL has effectively no association with LTE.

 

AJ

oh.... Well lte connects but for maybe ten seconds before disappearing.

Something is wrong with the LTE provisioning between your phone/SIM and account.

 

You need to update your PRL...

I updated my profile and connected to lte and as soon as I update my prl lte is gone

Did you just pop it in the phone or did you give it to the rep along with your msid? I activated my Nexus 5 today and it loaded LTE my default.

im in dc and im not sure if there is an eCSFB issue but the sim code is correct

 

 

edit: i cant even connect to ehrpd

Did you just pop it in the phone or did you give it to the rep along with your msid? I activated my Nexus 5 today and it loaded LTE my default.

i gave it to the rep but ill verify its the right sim code

Yes it is .. I have been having issues with my G2 since i got it. Phone calls are not connecting to the towers so i have to call a number 3 to 4  times before it connects 

im connected to a 3g/4g site but i get no lte

Did you update your profile?

yes ill try again though

 

 

edit: still no lte

i have an n5 but cant connect to lte. i used to sim card from my s4. even in lte only mode it stays on 3g. 

is dc affected by the eCSFB issue because i can connect to lte on my iphone 5 but not my nexus 5

Has anybody tried setting their phone to lte only when going to a enabled Band 41 site. It could be the eCSFB issue blocking access

Other confirmed band 41 sighting in the n5 thread

I picked band 41 in the Bronx but the speeds were not impressive.

 

Maybe the tower I was connected to is not completely upgraded.

 

I'll post screenshots in a minute

what's your band priority?

Here you go. It's funny...I'm on a different tower now where I ordinarily get decent LTE speeds, and I'm not getting any data at all. I was picking up 3G in the same spot about an hour ago.

 

 

I thought u said u had b41 and b26 both at 1. That throws my whole theory out the window then

it must be something tower or network side, possibly some upgrade (besides ecsfb) that must be completed that affects only the n5.

I wish I had a n5 to test with the band priority he used. I believe that's what the difference is.

Ok just backing you up then. I thought a picture to show it works would be helpful as some still say the N5 won't do B41 yet.

thanks, I wanted people to see what his band priority was since it was different than what we've been told

This guy has figured out Nexus 5 and band 41.

look what he got:

I linked to his band priority settings above

Their is only 0 and 1 on N5....1 being higher priority.

thanks for the correction. My question is are we really sure that 1 is higher. We've been told to set b26 and b25 at 0 with b41 at 1 with no success on the n5 so far and in this case since b25 and b41 were at the same level it went ahead and picked up b41.

Check out the band priority with one of our members connected to b41 with his n5 http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4950-sprint-spark-official-name-for-the-tri-band-network-was-sprint-to-demo-its-25ghz-network-technology/?p=241696

 

Edit: we could've been using the wrong band priority this whole time. I have a feeling the priorities should be b41 at 0 b25 at 1 and b26 at 2( is 2 an option?) since his device wasn't connected to b26 which was at 0 it jumped to b41. What do u guys think?

I'm actually new to Android...I modified my settings based on information in forums. I have band 25 and 41 as 1 and band 26 as 0.

 

I was near the 110 freeway and the 91 freeway in Gardena. I just started seeing these speeds in a few places in the South Bay and Westside over the past couple days.

thank you!

 

Are we sure the band priority should be band 41 at 0 band 25 at 1 and 26 at 2. Usually 0 is the highest priority and since there isn't any band 26 his n5 didn't pick that up and went straight to band 41

I've been following along on the boards and just wanted to share that I'm starting to see some pretty amazing speeds around LA on my Nexus 5...

can u please share pictures of your band priority or something. It seems that you're the only one connecting to band 41 with a nexus 5

They are always available on eBay. Usually for like .99 cents for plus shipping from China

I bought one of these at www.meenova.com since I like having extra space and it fits on my key ring
