Do you have a way to determine if the phone is just using Band 41 vs 2xCA ? I'm using signal check but it just shows the band connected. I rarely am ever connected to Band 26 here in Orange County, it's generally 25 or 41

So I caved in and bought a Google Pixel even though my Nexus 5X is still totally 100% in great condition. The Pixel is 3xCA correct ? I was still playing around and aside from seeing if I am connected to Band 25,26, or 41, I cannot tell if it is 2x CA, or 3x CA

Thanks that's what I thought it was. I'll have to take a look at the threads. Last I recall reading which was awhile ago, was that the US Secretary of State John Kerry was trying to working something out with Mexico, or something to that extent, although maybe not anymore. I also recall it affected anything south of LA which would include OC where I reside.

I've been experimenting so far the past day, I've been primarily in Orange County although I work in LA County. It appears that a few times it was connected to 2xCA, but the speeds have been around the 30s down. Certainly faster than standard Band 41, but not the 100 mbps that you were getting. I also forgot, but I read something awhile back where there is a limitation due to an interference with Mexico, like similar bands being used or something to that extent. I don't remember what the issue was specifically, but I thought it was competing bands with Mexico and far southern CA. Maybe it's the Band 26 ? I almost never seen Band 26, just 41 and 25 unless I go to Los Angeles or north which I typically don't go unless needed.

That's incredible. I'll have to try it out sometime. I used to have a Nexus 6 which only had access to Band 41. Even here in California I'd still only get around the 20s down, before with an old Galaxy S4, I'd get 8s down. I have noticed my Nexus 5X is getting better reception indoors and is less sluggish than my Nexus 6

Hi Dkoellerwx- The DEBUG code worked. When I tried it there was nothing in the SCC area, but I will use signal check and take a look next time it is connected to Band 41. Right now it's on 25. This is also another question, I found this link: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-391-psa-carrier-aggregation-now-officially-live/ So the 2xCA uses 2 Band 41 at the same time to increase speeds (or 3xCA with newer phones) ? I know the end result is faster speeds, but I'm having a hard time specifically understanding how it works. I actually asked some Sprint employees last time I was in the store as a long shot, but they don't know what I was talking about.

I have been trying to find information on this issue on the internet and I cannot seem to find any. 1. I have a Google Nexus 5x which is 2xCA capable, it is possible that this device is 3xCA capable with a software upgrade? 2. How can I determine if I am on just Band 41 or 2xCA ? I've been using signal check to see the Band I'm connect to, but I cannot find a way to determine 2xCA connection. Thanks
