So far haven't connected to any Spark networks (I was only around Huntington beach and long beach today)

But I am getting faster speeds now at my works office....

I checked to see what band I was on after I ran the test and that score was on band 25
[Nexus 5 General] nerv8765:
Wow, 24Mb is pretty darn good. Hopefully Sprint continues to expand their coverage in the LA/Orange county areas. But I definitely think that the network is much better than it was even a year ago.
[Nexus 5 General] Ep3n3wp:
Is there anyway to find out where spark towers maybe "Potentially" located?

Are all sprint towers spark enabled or certain towers?

Also saw some work being done on a tower a block from my place.

Metro rf was working on it and looked like pulling new wires/cables

S4GRU Premier Sponsors have access to the most up to date information on the Sprint / Clearwire Network and TD-LTE Rollout including sites upgraded and sites to be upgraded (including tentative dates) on interactive maps. Over 7000 sites have been upgraded to TD-LTE in 2013 which destroyed their 5000 sites live goal.

S4GRU regular sponsors have access to the most up to date info on the Sprint PCS network including sites upgraded and what technology has been upgraded on interactive maps.

Maps including exact GPS locations (i.e. engineering maps) are also available to the sponsors.

Current "spark" enabled towers are Clearwire towers that have been converted to dual mode Wimax / TD-LTE service. Speeds vary depending on if the tower is still on old clearwire wimax backhaul (~20 mbps) or the upgraded backhaul (~50-70mbps).

From what I can see from my testing using multiple devices the nexus 5 does in fact need a software update as there's more to enabling "spark" than just enabling the bands.
[Nexus 5 General] Ep3n3wp:
Thanks for the reply!! Gunna look into the S4GRU thing.... I was on band 25 this morning at my works office and was getting consistent 20mbps and highest was 24.32mbps... Wonder if that's a spark tower still with wimax?
[Nexus 5 General] zivan56:
Field test mode lets you see advanced network info (like serving cells, etc) which the Android API doesn't expose. What you see depends on what network you are on (CDMA, LTE, etc).

There are tons of other options to change misc settings (mostly Sprint specific), I haven't gone through them since they only work for Sprint.
[Nexus 5 General] TheDudeAbides:
No go on Codename Android.
[Nexus 5 General] Ep3n3wp:
Thanks yeah I poked around and saw the field test section.... To see what band I'm on/receptions %

changed the lte settings with the field test app...now gonna give it a day or so see if i get better lte coverage since i only get it on one side of town since i got my N5...
[Nexus 5 General] Ep3n3wp:
Any one go hunting for a spark tower this weekend?
[Nexus 5 General] Rxpert:
You need to be on a ROM based on the factory image, not one built from source for sprint dialer codes to work
[Nexus 5 General] spitefulrain:
Some roms build from aosp have support for sprint dialer menu's now, hopefully all will eventually
[Nexus 5 General] Ep3n3wp:
Anyone have any luck?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] reddragon72:
no luck in Houston.

As a side note that since I enabled the other two bands I have noticed that I don't get LTE in several locations I did before. So In a know LTE good spot I went in and turned off the other two bands reboot and boom LTE was back. Re-enabled the bands and LTE was gone.

Not sure what is up with that but in a good solid spark area I still only get 3-5m down and still loose LTE in my office.
[Nexus 5 General] michaelrango:
may seem like a silly question but can anybody tell me the default settings on the LTE View/Edit Menu?? I am still playing with the bands to see what will work the best but I noticed that while having Band 41 to priority 1 that my lte signal is not as strong as it is on some of my friends phones who don't have that band enabled. Just wanted to revert back. If anybody could tell me the default configuration that would be great :)
[Nexus 5 General] lalakersfan88:
anyone know if Sprint has released the official Spark Tri-band enabled update to the Nexus 5 yet?

Supposedly it was to be around this time, January. But I haven't received anything from Sprint yet. Is it through the update of PRL and Profile?
[Nexus 5 General] bog3nator:
No they haven't. And it would have to be through an android update not profile or prl.
[Nexus 5 General] dcxgod:
PRL and Profile Update Not Working

Interestingly I'm wondering if anyone's been experiencing their PRL and Profile Updates not working. I keep getting "Network Error." I'm stock, rooted and I had originally enabled all 3 bands via Android Field Test. I disabled the other two bands and tried again to no avail. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 5 General] coorsleftfield:
My phone did that. It was called by an error when I first set it up. A factory reset fixed it.
[Nexus 5 General] dcxgod:
Wow, I found out what was the culprit to handful of issues. Disabled Ad Block Plus and my PRL and Profile Updates started working, as did my MMS downloads via Google Hangouts. Not sure if this is any help for people out there.

haha.
[Nexus 5 General] sprof:
This is default.
[Nexus 5 General] genescuff:
I've been having the same issue. I called Sprint many times and they said it was due to a tower being down in my area. I just flipped off AdBlock Plus, and everything works.

Many, many thanks for finding this solution. I never would have guessed that it would prevent network and PRL updates from going through.

Connecting to Band 41 in Chicago!

Speeds are dismal at best, 10 megs down almost the same speeds I saw with wimax, tried out the 30 t mobile plan and was seeing 32 down in Chicago, common sprint get your act together.
[Nexus 5 General] lilotimz:
I believe I discovered the trick to finding the ever elusive B41 on our Nexus 5's.

It's a very simple thing.

Enable B41 + B26 and then run a PRL update & a Profile update.

http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4989-lg-google-nexus-5-users-thread/page-202#entry276149

Others have reported success as well but it also helps we know exactly where the TDD-LTE b41 sites are and which sites are broadcasting.. YMMV
[Nexus 5 General] Rxpert:
Now we know what the plus is
[Nexus 5 General] genescuff:
They just activated Spark the other day. However, I still cannot get it to work. It looks like the phone needs an update to work correctly.

I can't post links yet, but if you Google search for 'Sprint Spark Kansas City', you'll see an article in the KC Star.
[Nexus 5 General] Rxpert:
S4gru has already mentioned it needs an OTA
[Nexus 5 General] Android.Addiction:
I tried using TING for 3-4 days in the North Dallas, TX area and speeds are absolutely terrible on LTE... 3Mbps downstream, less than 1Mbps upstream.

Are speeds supposed to be this terrible in Dallas? Can anyone tell me if maybe I'm missing something? I did do *#*#DATA#*#* and enable triband as instructed but this didn't help.
[Nexus 5 General] digiblur:
No, if you are connecting then it is good. Sprint's band 25 LTE is over capacity in a lot of areas already.
[Nexus 5 General] deakelem:
i only could find one tower in Houston that is using the 41 band and i got 70mbps+ off of it. But still i think we need a new baseband to get spark working as it should.. getting the 41 band only works if i go back to the .15 baseband and airplane mode it near the tower.
[Nexus 5 General] r0cky0790:
As OP stated I get better LTE reception indoors maybe outdoors as well. I was actually pissed because I had to rely on 3G which was painfully slow. I know I'm in a spark area because my wife has a G2 which I've seen the spinning spark in her notification bar. After this tip from the OP my LTE is somewhat respectable now.
[Nexus 5 General] hondajohn88:
If you're asking will the LTE settings changes work when tired, yes they do. As someone mentioned earlier, getting to the dialer menu (Sprint hidden menu) depends on the ROM you're using. Some ROMs have that included & some don't. I don't know if CM11 had it built in or not. In using CyanFox and it does have the hidden menu built in so I can use the dialer to find the menu (*#*#3282#*#*). This PRL & profile updates also work when hidden menu is built in to the ROM (settings, more, mobile network, carrier settings).
[Nexus 5 General] iil:
Which areas are over capacity?
[Nexus 5 General] digiblur:
Many major metro areas. I usually just leave my phone on 3g even in areas with LTE all over the place. 3g works decently and LTE is practically dead with the 4 digit pings.
[Nexus 5 General] iil:
Interesting - Thankfully LTE is still performing well out here Los Angeles.
[Nexus 5 General] digiblur:
The beauty of having band 41 there.
[Nexus 5 General] iil:
Yeah well I'm not sure how much of a difference it is making right now with only a few devices able to utilize it. My nexus 5 won't connect to it yet despite everything I try.

I'm sure it'll be beneficial tho once more users are able to access it.
[Nexus 5 General] digiblur:
Any devices using it is offloading traffic already.
[Nexus 5 General] fromrussiawithl0ve:
All 3 band were already enabled by default on my nexus 5 with Android 5.0.1 and all bands were set to 1. I changed the band priority as advised in this post and will check how it goes tomorrow when i go drive around nyc. And thanks found my MSL without problem through logcat.:good:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elfrider:
I'm having a problem with my KFHD 7" - it won't connect to my home wifi. It keeps going from 'authenticating', to 'authentication failed' to 'out of range' over and over. I've tried many other devices on the same network and all work fine.

I've tried disabling dhcp on the router, I've tried wpa2, wep and no security also, it makes no odds. The weird thing is, if I try a different wifi network it works fine.

I've been using my home wifi with the kindle since I've had it with no problems, it seems to be a recent problem. The kindle will however connect every now and then, usually after it boots (so I know the passcode is correct) but very very rarely, and when it does it disconnects again very quickly. I'm running Kinology at the mo, but have tried restoring to Hashcode's Cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM but the problem still occurs.

Any ideas on this one please......
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
Try changing your router security to another ie wep or wep2 or...

These days I'm running Android 4.1.2 of omega-based stock Samsung rom.

I use Hebrew as my language in the device and all apps appear indeed in Hebrew.

For some reason, inside the Google Maps app, the menu is in Hebrew but the map itself is displayed in English and the navigation is in English as well.

In the past in other roms I used to have hebrew street names and navigation.

Does anyone have an idea why the app is half English-half Hebrew?

I had a solution for getting older calendar dates onto the phone that no longer seems to work.

Has anyone a solution for this?

I need to go back to 2005 as far as calendar sync.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metropical:
solution!!!

http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...ync-past-google-calendar-events-solution.html

In the settings screen of google calendar, click export calendars, this will give you a zip file containing one .ics file for each of your calendars. Unzip this file, then use import calendars to import each .ics into its corresponding calendar. This does not duplicate events, but just refreshes the modified date, thus causing Android to resync the entries.

stupid easy and works great.

Under "Select Partitions to Mount", I can only select "Cache" and "System" ("Data" and USB-OTG" cannot be selected).

If I select "System", and then wipe I am concerned I may brick the device because the data partition would still be encrypted. Right?

I have the same problem like month ago (Last time i solved it by new battery and everything was ok.)

I CAN'T CHARGE MY BATTERY.

My steps now:

1. I bought new loader and loader seems not to be problem

2. I have fully formated system, cache and everything that was in CWM possible to format and wiped all caches, battery stats etc and then I flashed stock ROM.

NOW:

I'm charging it with loader and i have all time 0%-5%.

I inserted for fun my old damaged (probably, but who knows where the hell is problem?) and it was 95% (LOL?) but after restart it died.

Where the hell is the problem?

With battery?

With micro-usb port?

With other hardware?

Maybe it's something wrong with system but I'm total newbie, tell me all steps how to check is everything there ok.

Are you using the stock rom? If not, flash the stock rom with odin, try ICS rom too, there is no way we can check what is wrong, you have to try everything :/

Good advice from [MENTION=5377995]Dakura[/MENTION] except that you should stay away from Odin until you've ruled out any possibility of a faulty USB port.

So I just flashed an official kit Kat ROM. And so far all I see myself doing is turning a ton of stuff off. Its getting annoying to say the least. My biggest gripe has become the dialer.

Hi everyone

How is your battery without the dock? Depending on which wifi I'm connected to I can only get 4 hours of screen time with the tablet alone and even less if I'm playing games.

I have a similar experience to the reviewer on Android Police http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...mium-specs-premium-price-budget-battery-life/

Is anyone else getting this? Wifi takes up a large part of the percentage.

Clearly 4 hours is silly for a tablet with such a big battery so I'm hoping it's software. Everything else about the tablet is PERFECT however and I am very happy. The speed at which it operates is insane. Finally I can leave my Windows laptop altogether.
[Asus Transformer TF701] improvius:
These two issues are certainly not corrected. Bad dock connections still seem to be the norm, even for people who are just now receiving new tablets and docks. And the constant changes in brightness caused by the automatic background dimming "feature" is still an unresolved problem.
