Its there, reinstall blinkfeed uncheck it and uninstall it. What i did on an M8. Worked out perfect.

Single band devices would include my M7 then?

The whole area has B25. B26 is being held up by San Bernardino county public safety taking their time moving out of the spectrum Sprint needs for B26.

Sprint doesn't use CA for Bands 25 and 26. Only Band 41. Speeds can improve on these bands as more traffic gets removed from them and put on 41.

Yes, more capacity will be at everyone's disposal. Peak speeds will be unchanged on non CA devices, but will benefit everyone with more available spectrum.

 

B41 will indirectly improve B25/26 by offloading traffic from it, but peaks speeds will be unchanged.

So does LA have Bands 25/26? Have been on 41 only as of now (as far as I can see).

That's decent performance for a Non CA phone with that signal strength.

 

B41 propagation distance varies significantly site by site. It's a high frequency and can be affected more by a one degree difference in downtilt, or mounting height difference than other frequencies. So the minor variations of installation between sites can make a vast difference in propagation distance. Also, site optimization may still be occurring where they adjust power transmission levels and sector aiming/downtilt.

 

A reduction in signal variability will occur post optimization, creating a little more consistency. However, given the nature of B41, it will still exist. Sprint is planning tens of thousands more B41 macro sites and small cells to be added in their Next Generation Network initiative, to help fill the gaps in B41 coverage between sites. Until then, B25 and B26 fill in the gaps in between. Their performance improves with every B41 site that goes live and reduces the burden on them.

Thanks for the info. Makes sense. I ought to mention that the speed test was from my M8 H/K. So since it is not CA capable, will my speeds ever improve with Bands 25/26?

As a newcomer, I wanna ask how do I spot each type of RRU? Could someone show me some examples. And just to add to this, here's what I'm getting in East L.A. on the street level

Band 41: -106dBm

Download: 17.87 Mbps

Upload: 2.10 Mbps

Ping: 47 ms

Is this cause for concern, because I notice there's a place just a couple minutes away down the street that has better reception by a mile?
