  1. I'm generally out and about a lot during the day for multiple hours and it would be nice to have 3x aggregation speeds especially after being with Sprint for over 10 years but I'm sadly considering switching solely due to this not working on their Network with the Pixel XL. I think it's Sprint upload speeds I hate the most. Some how depending on the area I manage to get .15 mbps - 3 mbps upload. Download speeds are on average 5mbps- 9mbps. I have an old unlimited plan as I do receive/send a lot of emails and data. I've been googling the issue but I haven't found many talking about the it and figured maybe a lot of people who have this phone don't have Sprint.

    You should be getting 2xCA, though. Are those speeds on band 41? Kinda slow for LTE Plus but perfectly usable. CA is on the downlink only, btw, so you're not going to get higher upload speeds with 3xCA.

  2. Until SCP finds a way to detect CA status, one way is to get out an old phone that can only do 2xCA (like Nexus 6) and set it next to your 3xCA phone (like Pixel XL) and run side by side speed test.  If 3x CA is indeed enabled, then you should see roughly 50% higher speeds.  If speeds are the same, then 3xCA is probably not enabled either on the tower or your phone.

    Nexus 6 does not support 2xCA.

  3. Oh? Seemed like it would, given that it showed up exactly as it would with 2x CA. Given that I looked at the FAQ and help section and didn't see what it would mean, what exactly does it mean then?

    ² also doesn't mean 2xCA. They mean second and third carriers - but it's not indicative that you're actually connected to multiple.

  4. I noticed it most while on a fast-moving train, and moving through NYC -- both situations where I would expect frequent handoffs. I haven't seen it nearly as much when I'm stable.

     

    Thanks for the data point.

    Sure thing. It was actually a weird time for it. I was just in my living room, dropped B41 completely, and then picked up B25. It switched back to B41 without first dropping connection.

  5. Has anyone noticed their device dropping from a perfect LTE signal to no signal, momentarily, then returning to full signal? This has occurred for me since I got the device (regular Pixel). This happens many times a day during active usage in multiple major markets.

     

    Not sure if it's just a software bug, maybe related to this one, which will be patched soon, a Sprint network problem, a tower hand-off issue, a SIM card problem, or a device problem. If the last of those, I want to RMA quickly.

     

    Thoughts? Thanks!

    Saw it happen yesterday but that was actually the first time I noticed it in the six weeks I've had the device.
