I have two Galaxy S-5's on my account. Both of them just love to hang onto band 26 LTE & Voice. They do this even though I am in an area with GREAT band 25. No band 41 yet. I have no idea if the S-5 is unique with this hanging onto band 26 or what but they will hold onto band 26 even when it is worse than a band 25 signal. They even hold onto band 26 when no data is being transferred. They will occasionally jump onto band 25, but there does not seem to be any pattern that I can determine.

One thing for sure, if band 25 starts to weaken, the phones move to band 26 easily.

I've seen that issue once or twice. We have band 41 down here and my S5 seems to always favor it when I'm close enough to pick up the signal. But for the most part it stays on band 26. It will switch over though. For example, at my job I work outside in a mechanic shop. While I'm outside I'm on band 25 because it has a much stronger signal. When I go inside of the building and my band 25 single weakens it jumps to band 26 just like it's supposed to. Before I had been 26 it would stay on band 25 and I would almost have no data. But now while inside I still get on average of 3-7 Mbps while outside on my band 25 I get 4-12 Mbps.

Can't wait for that here.

It's worth the wait. I was starting to sound like one of those crazy extremists saying how "sprint will get better, no really, it's coming!" But now I have my fiancé and best friend planning on switching over to sprint. ;-)

Been in Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Davie, Sunrise, Tamarac, Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, Deerfield, Margate and Pompano Beach. Thank goodness for unlimited Data, lol.

Follow up: two days later, and after driving through most of the cities in Broward County, I have yet to EVEN SEE a 3G signal on my S5. I have had an average of 3-10 Mbps all around town. Where I used to have a weak LTE signal, I'm now cruising the Web at a wonderful pace. In the place I used to hide my phone, knowing it was only capable of making calls, I now pull it out and start offering to Google everything, lol. So far, life is GREAT in my mobile universe. =-)

Been with Sprint through all the hard times, and though all the AT&T users laughed while I was pushing 3G, I never lost hope. (Shedding a tear of joy) This afternoon I was amazed to see LTE on my phone while in my house. I would always loose my LTE signal as I drove into my neighborhood, BUT NOT ANY MORE! Band 26 has now made me a very happy sprint customer, lol. I can't wait to see where else my data has improved in south Florida. (Coming from Broward County)
