Looking forward to see if anything changes N5 wise.
-
Thanks. I edited my post using the website. I could not get Tapatalk to connect an edit. I left out an important Not and a couple things.
-
Warning unfounded question follows. Do not think I'm say that's the issue I'm not, I am asking a question. Any chance the could be doing a network upgrade for the fall back issue? < nothing to see here, move along >

I'm on the Motherhead site in Cottleville now with no issues.

I did this morning until I rebooted the phone. I thought it was just my phone.

Have any of the white flag pole looking sites or the billboard sites with the antenna panels each on a skinny pipe just a couple feet above the signs been upgraded in the St Louis/ St Charles area? None of them that I drive past have been. I'm just wondering if they need more planning or something and will be some of the last finished. One is 100 yards from a old Clearwire site that has been worked on lately and I wonder if maybe they might merge them. The Clearwire site is a traditional big monopole tower with multiple mobile carriers on it. < nothing to see here, move along >

Anyone move to the N5 from the Note 2 want to comment about how they compare on really weak signal, like when the 2 can't decide to fall back to CDMA. Also if you miss the extra 1/2 diagonal. OK to PM me If you don't want to clutter the thread.

I missed that it was launched markets. Thanks for the correction.

There is a list Sprint put out in another thread that lists cities with known fallback gap issues. I didn't see anything about the Cottleville yellow pin site that the Tri-band devices loose LTE near. I guess they know about it and one site isn't enough to mention.
-
Thanks for clearing that up for me. It makes sense now.

The answer is in Roberts article: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-357-nexus-5-and-lg-g2-experience-temporary-sprint-lte-connectivity-issues-due-to-circuit-switched-fallback-technology/ "When the Sprint network tries to forward a call/text to your device but cannot see it via CDMA, it then checks for an LTE connection to your device. If it sees one, it tells your device to disconnect from LTE for a moment and reconnect to CDMA. Your device then jumps over to take the call or text on Sprint CDMA and the LTE session is interrupted. This happens very fast and seamlessly. Except for the loss of data availability. If it is just a text, the data session is only interrupted for fractions of a second and is likely not even noticed by the user."

One thing I don't understand is I don't think my Note 2 has 2 data paths and no simultaneous voice and data but I connect just fine to a tower in a Ericsson market that is both 3G and 4G accepted and the triband phone users in my area drop LTE anywhere near it. Thanks for the article Robert, as always great job.
-
Might check a TMobile store just to see one, if its close or maybe Best Buy. I don't have a specific store in mind.

I meant the network parts for parts that the tried and worked. There are 3 NV vendors, don't know how many legacy, and all the possible combinations of old/new CDMA, LTE, 800, 1900, 2600. I see where some combinations could have worked well for them and the trouble ones missed. Any just my opinion. AJ your the man for knowing how this works, I defer to your assessment. Sprint will fix it as fast as possible I'm sure, but many still won't be happy. You can't please everyone.
-
I'm sure they tested them and what setups they tried worked in. There are a bunch of different combinations and my guess is they assumed it wouldn't be an issue anywhere. Easy to do, what you foresee is not what gets you in the deepest do do.

Sure was till I hit that curb, blew a tire, bent the rim, and then lugs. Now not so much.

I might turn around soon. http://s4gru.com/ind...e-5#entry236168 Posted 10 November 2013 - 09:45 AM S4GRU, on 10 Nov 2013 - 09:43 AM, said: It's believed that a site with NV 3G accepted (a yellow or green site) that will not allow a Triband LTE device to connect is just in need of a software update. This is why some people report their LTE all of a sudden works. So maybe your site will be recitifed soon. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

People with Triband devices are also reporting issues when near the Motherhead site in Cottlevile (near St Louis) which is a yellow pin. They exit the area to where the rest are just 4G and LTE works fine.
-
Looks like they were thinking eCSFB would be in NV 2.0 as quoted in the earning call back in April. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3641-sprint-2013-first-quarter-results/&do=findComment&comment=131676 So I guess we are really finishing NV 1.0 and have NV 2.0 starting. Quote
-
Very interesting. Now I have yet another thread to keep up with.
-
Is there a explanation of what eCFSB is anywhere?
-
I was just wondering, not really sure exactly why. Maybe because some people seem to be getting theirs a lot faster from Play. I hope I don't wake up at 3 AM and order one. It's tempting but I want a microsd card slot and swappable battery.
