  1. Very disappointed with the rf performance of this device. Considering returning this and going back to my n5
  2. I just don't see it.... You can't compete with the big two if you don't compete on coverage. T-Mobile doesn't help that except for their much better site placement and density in cities. Sprint with the cca partnership looks to be the best option to compete but if vzw goes on a buying spree of these cca members then that's an issue as well. All I see is just more debt, larger subscriber base, on a network smaller than the duopoly
  3. Might be a little of topic but that alone should settle the debate of whether sprint should do 1 10x10 carrier vs 2 5x5 carriers.
  4. I was thinking the same thing. I just hope they aren't looking for a quick payday with a buyout.
  5. my concern with that is anything stopping vzw or Att from buying one of these CCA members effectively shutting Sprint out?
  6. It's not like Sprint can't do the same at this point so I don't really get the complaining. I feel like S should try to do the same and acquire smaller regionals. But anyway Vzw is just actively expanding their network through acquisitions.
  7. Maybe I missed it but can anybody explain why we're able to use band 41 at such low dBm levels? I was surfing the web between -122 and -127. It was slow but still worked. Does it have something to do with it being TD-LTE?
  8. I really hope this phone gets a radio update or something because it's too weak. I'm coming from the n5 but still it shouldn't be this bad. Even band 26 still struggles on this phone. If no update comes i'm going to have to switch to something else because I spend way too much time on 3g even with band 26 almost all around me
  9. Think I might have figured something out. With the connections optimizer disabled it has trouble going back to lte from 3g. But when it's on it will do it without trouble. Maybe give that a try and see how that works.
  10. I'm spoiled by the rf performance on my n5 but I think I'll move to the s5 since I'm hearing good things
  11. Found some band 26 in capitol heights MD off old central ave Edit: it's a very seamless switch between bands
  12. could it be it's scanning for lte and drops the connection since there's only one radio path?
  13. I really don't think the network is moving people to other bands like it's supposed to so I have my bands set up how I like. In DC now and I was barely holding on to a b26 signal but a quick radio cycle and I'm on b41 at -106dbm. Either sprint has to turn the network control on our optimize it.
  14. Look what I found at the national harbor in MD https://www.dropbox.com/s/b56emiy6hi88bx2/Screenshot_2014-04-04-22-47-05.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/72gwhs8mcupd6lm/Screenshot_2014-04-04-22-47-25.png
  15. hey my aunt lives around there. Honestly more b25 sites need to come on around there. One warning with the .15 baseband. If the lte site you connect to isn't eCSFB ready your phone won't drop to 1x to take a call. The majority of sites in this area are ready but there are some that haven't had the eCSFB upgrade
  16. Back when adjusting announced NV I recall there was a map with a lot of roaming coverage for LTE. I think it was something like that
  17. Lol it wouldn't penetrate a piece of paper. But seriously I guess this would be good for outdoor use in cities
  18. Just pulled this down in DC https://www.dropbox.com/s/5w7ygfe7xnxbswo/Screenshot_2014-03-18-09-47-07.png
  19. if he had anything to do with clearwires site spacing in my area then he's a welcomed clearwire leftover lol
  20. 20 years here and I hate how we go from one extreme to the next. Snowmageddon then a brutal summer
