    Next time check to see what band is. It could be that your phone is simply searching for lte and that's why u see it in debug but not in the status bar or you could be connecting to band 41 but there could be an eCSFB issue so it kicks you off.
  2. TheForce627
    oh yeah I know all about that. In this test he was just basing it on bars so the sprint device should've had bars. His whole point was being able to make calls in an emergency.
  3. TheForce627
    I wonder if this guy had roaming turned on because I don't believe he would've been without coverage if vzw had coverage there
  4. TheForce627
    you don't have to take the sim out to scan for networks. I switched my phone to LTE/gsm mode and was able to scan.
  5. TheForce627
    I guess I'm trolling because I'm stating the obvious. I like sprint but their rural is lacking and u know this because of the coverage at your home.
  6. TheForce627
    yeah with any carrier it depends on your area. Here in the Dc area T-Mobile's network is much denser than sprint, until u step outside the beltway.

    it may have sounded like I was being too critical of Sprint but I'm just tired of hearing about rural coverage on here when neither are great. I would like to add I've been a sprint customer since 06 and I'm a shareholder, I'm not going anywhere.
  8. TheForce627
    I'm just saying neither are good at rural coverage, just T-Mobile's is atrocious. Sprint isn't a godsend when it comes to rural coverage
  9. TheForce627
    I think it's funny how you guys are always on T-Mobile talking about rural coverage and how much better sprint is when sprint barely has a rural footprint itself. Sprint needs to expand its footprint to be a real player in this country.

    I have

    This attitude of "this is all we need" is what got sprint into this situation in the first place. Instead of fiber backhaul like everybody else, t1 was all we need and now look at them, racing to upgrade backhaul all over the network. I say go for being the fastest and future proof the network and that's what sprint is doing.

    4.4

    I notice that weird behavior with my n5 as well. As for the band 41, it will connect sometimes then disappears. Texts do come through when connected
  14. TheForce627
    I had trouble sending and receiving mms when using handcent. Tried textra and it works. Not the biggest fan of textra but I need something that works
  15. TheForce627
    no it's sitting on band 41 now that I'm connected to Wi-Fi. Any time I try use data through lte it disappears. Texts come through fine though
  16. TheForce627
    no nexus 5. I guess I forgot to change that in my profile info lol
  17. TheForce627
    Im finding myself connected to a few different band 41 sites. They must be blocked or something because it will connect and quickly disconnect, even in LTE only mode. Hopefully they stop blocking them soon
  18. TheForce627
    maybe it's an ecsfb issue, put your phone in lte only mode and try.

    Was curious as to how well the lte radio is compared to 3g and I'm very impressed. I'm out in the boonies today and This is my lte signal and 3g signal in the same place https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ptxqdgpt8pp5kf/Screenshot_2013-12-21-18-34-50.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/q9ufyi9cckkenx9/Screenshot_2013-12-21-18-31-22.png Nice to be able to hold LTE when my 3g signal is so low. Also my sisters iPhone is parked on 3g while I'm enjoying LTE

    I wish sprint would focus on expanding their current footprint. That's probably the only way to get that bad taste out of people's mouths. And increasing cell site density wouldn't hurt either. T mobile doesn't give sprint a bigger footprint.
  21. TheForce627
    what priority was band 41? Edit: sorry for the multiple posts
  22. TheForce627
    I have a theory on why we haven't seen an update for tri-band yet. When I enabled band 41 on my n5 (1st day I got it) I noticed that standby battery life was terrible when not on Wi-Fi. Maybe around 5+% drop per hour. Today I disabled band 41 and was surprised to see how much better my standby battery life was.
  23. TheForce627
    Isn't there a CDMA 450mhz network running somewhere in the world? Haven't heard of these problems with that network.
  24. TheForce627
    received. Used another phone to send the message while the n5 ran a speed test. Would it really matter of it switched back to 1x when sending since most likely you'd be in the messaging app and not browsing the web
  25. TheForce627
    I tried this already. Sent a text during a speed test and no pause in the data session. Edit: I would also like to note that I haven't received a single late message over LTE which would often happen on 1x
