  1. My G2 is somewhat lacking in the RF reception category as well.  In areas where my Samsung GN3 would hold LTE, the G2 falls back to 3G.  In areas of my basement, the GN3 would hold LTE unless you went into a deep corner and forced it to drop back to 3G.  On the other hand, it doesn't take very much to make the G2 fall back to 3G in areas where the GN3 would hold.  From what I've read on these threads, the N5 is an outstanding RF performer.  Those of us that feel our G2's are not the best at RF performance should let Sprint know about it so it can possibly be fixed in an update.

     

    Yeah it's a little disappointing cause the phone is awesome but signal is more important to me in my area. Hopefully enough people complain and there could be a fix if possible. In the meantime I'll keep the moto x cause just In case I want to resell the g2.
  2. Anyone coming from a moto x to the g2. Seem like I've been reading that the g2 has good signal but I'm finding the opposite to be true. Moto x is definitely stronger so far. I could get lte throughout my house with the x but g2 can't get it at all. The phone was used and rooted so not sure if I should check any settings or anything?? My wife's nexus 5 is lte throughout the house also.

  3. Question for you guys. I know this isn't the right thread and you guys can move it when necessary. I have the nexus 5 so I've been following this thread a lot. so I haven't connected to nexus to my sprint line still using my moto x and just for the heck of. It went to my engineering screen and it shows me conected to band 26 (on my moto x). Am I missing something here, I thought band 26 was not available on the moto

  4. Yup.  Got 2 of them from my local AT&T store for $20 each.  Love love LOVE them!  One on my desk at work and one next to my bed.  I always thought wireless charging was a silly luxury that i'd never take advantage of.  Now i can't imagine not having it!

    Do you know if it will charge with a tpu case on the nexus 5
  5. Venice area service for sprint is the worst in the whole state from my experience. I dread going there and needing to use my phone.

    I have looked for permits for tower work in venice. There are none. None even pending.

     

    I will be getting my Nexus 5 in about a week from google I hope. Says it will ship soon.

     

    Can you tell me more about how T-Mobile is working around here. I travel all the areas you seem to be around. I am going to pick up a T-Mobile sim also and give it a go.

    I own a pool route so I'm all over the place, from punta gorda to laurel rd. The funny thing is where sprint was good with lte so was tmobile (lte and hspa). So pretty much charlotte county and punta was good with tmobile with good speeds and no loss of signal. North port and Venice area was not good with data speeds at all (mostly unnder 1mb). It's very comparable to sprints footprint in our area but the only difference I noticed so far is if I'm in one of the worse parts of tmibile area I can still use data, slower but actually still functions. If I was in a bad area of sprint the phone would basically be useless for any data. I think I've seen edge one time on the phone and it was only for a second. The major difference was I just went to bush gardens and the entire ride up 75 was pretty much great on tmobile (lots of lte). About a month ago I went to Orlando and couldn't even watch a YouTube clip pretty much anywhere on 75 with my htc one on sprint . Lmk if you have any other questions also.
  6. There is a crew working in the Englewood and north port area. I watched them hang equipment on the tower by wal mart in englewood and that big tower on 41 and river road. There still working, just not that fast. Englewood has lte all over now.

    Venice though, is still not seeing anything from what I can tell. I have been to three towers that I am pretty sure are Sprint and nothing is going on.

    I actually I saw some workers on that tower on river road. Just wasn't sure if it was sprint or not. The port charlotte area and throughout rotonda, Englewood and even into south gulf cove have lte ( which is great). It's just been bad from the middle of north port and pretty much all of Venice. Hopefully they can pick up the pace some. I've mapped lte on sensory like 8 month ago in parts of Venice but haven't picked anything up in forever. I have the nexus 5 and have been trying out the tmobile service, with the 30 plan and it has me slightly tempted to jump ship..
  7. i dont think i would even respond to emails like that if i had a craigs list posting locally.  craigs list pushes dealing locally so much now.  good luck.

    Yeah there's to many scammers but figured I would try

  8. That does look like a good deal and you get to keep your upgrade.  Its like buying a Nexus 5.

    I know that's a really good deal. I actually just emailed the ad to see if he would ship it to florida. Pay through paypal

    That is Awesome. Thank you! I don't like making assumptions....... but I would assume I would have it on appomattox if the signal is that great on Sumter and 41. How far down 41 did you make it? North Port Blvd? Biscayne? Further than that? I will check it out on sensorly tomorrow or later tonight. (Just checked it and didn't see it yet.) let me know when you make it to appomattox. I really can't thank you enough for doing this.

     

    I am wondering what tower this might be. North Port tower or Port Charlotte?

    No problem. . I think it went down to Biscayne. Its definitely a tower in north port not the one by chamberlin listed as active. Sometimes you have to Zoom in and out on sensorly to see it. I also got some signal by river road and 41

  10.  

     

    That would be awesome! am curious about the block around sumter, appomattox, north port blvd, and 41.

     

    i live off appomattox in the villas of sabal trace. in laws are in villas of sabal trace phase 2 off north port blvd.

     

    Thanks again. I wish i already had a 4g device. would love to go out mapping. :-)

     

    jc

    Had 4g on summter and 41 today lightning fast in my speed test like 25000 down. Didn't make it down towards appamatix though was working

  11. i really appreciate those that are mapping in the North Port area. looks like it is getting really close to me. :-) does anyone know if we are getting coverage around sumter / appomattox / north port blvd? see pic >>>> https://www.dropbox.com/s/rm1b84i9l9jilhu/me.PNG

     

    Thanks again!

    I got 4g down parts of cranberry and Chamberlin and at the home Depot in noth port but haven't made it down summtee area yet. Once I do I will map for you and update you
