I swung by that area, and no matter what combination of settings i did i could not get it to connect!

I had to toggle airplane mode to make the phone disconnect from the b25 tower and connect to the b41 tower.

Improperly configured equipment or backhaul is the likely culprit. 

What kind of backhaul did Clearwire use?

I doubt it's a backhaul issue especially since NYC is a wimax market.

Wow such high ping.  That makes no sense.  I didn't get high ping when I tested B41 LTE.  Did you a take a pic of the EARFCN in the LTE Engineering page?

 Ran some more test and got even worse pings.

What could be the cause?

No just the 2 posted

where in the Bronx?

Southern Blvd & E. Tremont

here they are

Band 41 and 25 set to 1

Band 26 off

Really good signal strength also

I picked band 41 in the Bronx but the speeds were not impressive.

Maybe the tower I was connected to is not completely upgraded.

I'll post screenshots in a minute

Looks like a pretty harsh drop once the screen was on... Were you streaming a video or something?

Not until later Sunday evening.

The phone just idles well.

Charged Saturday night before heading out at around 9pm .
Couple of hours on LTE 9pm-4am Saturday night. Then all day Sunday and overnight into Monday on WiFi.

Finally charging now again.

Not bad.

Running Elementax kernel under volted.

+1 for Textra

I used to use handcent but the options menu became convoluted and overwhelming.

If you own a paperclip, you own a "SIM removal tool." LG's is cute though.

Not in this case.

The hole is very small, paper clips do not fit. I tried at work today.

The Nexus 5 has better reception than my Note 2.

That's very impressive. Holds a signal way better .

Black 32GB activated no problem here in NY.

Enabled all bands and set band 25 to the lowest priority but still only getting LTE on band 25.

The phone seems to be hunting for the other bands because after it boots it takes a little while to fall back on band 25.

Too bad you can't disconnect band 25 and leave the other bands active.

I got connected to 1x800 though according to SignalCheck.

This is what I want to know! 42 pages, and no clear answer to this yet. 

 

I live in Salt Lake, which has only 4 band 25 towers. But apparently (I'm not a premier sponsor), the city has many more Band 41 towers active. Thus, the answer to this question is critical to me!

It's supposed to live here in NYC so i'll see if I can enable band 41 and see what SignalCheck tells me.

I can't be the first person in NY to get there hands on a Nexus 5

My charger will probably never leave the box.

I'll just use my 2 amp Note 2 charger.

I wonder is it's a Sprint wide issue because I need to toggle airplane mode on my Note 2 sometimes to get LTE reconnected again.

It's very annoying especially when i'm trying to watch a Youtube video or something.

Raleigh has had solid LTE for a long time, I get it everywhere but my home. However in 3 days, my N5 has not connected once. The N5 has major major issues in some areas, most of us have never seen the LTE icon unless we force LTE ONLY.

Oh I see. 

Weird how some people have no LTE issues and others do 

Case - delivered

 

SIM card - out for delivery

 

32GB Black N5 - leaves warehouse 11/26/2013

16GB White N5 - leaves warehouse 12/3/2013

 

Hurry up and wait. 

You will most likely get your phones way before that.

My 32GB Black Nexus 5 had a Nov 15 ship date originally but is out for delivery today.

Those of us that cannot even connect to LTE are jealous 

That's kind of a shocker.

I would think NV has made it's way to the Triangle by now. Considering all the tech companies that's located there.

Has anyone been able to pickup LTE on band 41 as yet?

Nexus 5 and SIM On vehicle for delivery today.

Yeah baby!

Yea it is bonkers how good it is, I never thought for a moment that my HTC radio could have been atributing to my low signal strength to that degree! and -20dBm is not over estimating at all!!

HTC is kinda known to have less than optimal radios.

Evo 3D was attrocious

I can't get over how great this phone is in terms of LTE reception and performance.  It's just insane.  I would say -20dBm improvement in LTE signal... which sounds too good to be true...

Is a possibility that you are picking up LTE on another band I guess
