Thinking about switching after my contract is over at the end of the year...
I love T-Mobile in my area, I get about 14mbps data speeds. I've been with them a year and have never dropped a call.

In my house I get download speeds of about 2-3mb/s on sprint 4g lte and at school I get no bars in most buildings lol
My mom is switching from att to T-Mobile prepaid and is getting the nexus 4.

Are the radios better then the nexus 4. My service was alwaysnup and down with the N4, and wouldn't have service places I used to. Hope they didn't go cheap on this end. It is still a phone.

Why bump? It looks like you are having a nice conversation with yourself
Lol. I'm kinda concerned. N4 sucked. But guess I will wait until tomorrow and quit talking to myself. Ha

My Signal strength is better than with n4.
Don't have mine yet, but have a feeling it will be better!
Well that's the thing about radios sometime it may work better for someone else and sometimes it doesn't

To answer my own question, the Nexus 5 is getting way better service than my Nexus 4. On wifi and on tmobile

I actually had worse cellular radio performance out of my Nexus 5 compared to my Nexus 4 while using it yesterday. Inside my office, I'm pretty sure I was averaging fewer bars, and the N5 couldn't decide if it was going to connect to 2G, HSPA+, or LTE. Outside, it flipped between HSPA+ and LTE as I moved around (mostly driving, but a few times even walking around a parking lot).
So, I'm not sure if it's my particular N5, or N5s in general, but so far I'm not impressed with its cellular performance relative to my N4.
I'm getting better performance so far, which I'm glad about as I also had a pretty bad time with the Nexus 4 over other phones. The 5 isn't amazing, but it's alright and acceptable to me.
I'm getting generally worse reception, especially inside at work. Before with my N4 I got perfectly acceptable reception where I sat. Now with the N5 I literally get nothing.. nothing at all. It won't even give me a smidgen of reception. I have to walk towards the front of our building to get anything.
Anyone else experiencing something similar?
*edit*
So in a completely random way I turned data roaming on and off just for ****s and giggles and within 5 seconds of turning it off I all of a sudden had a full HSPA signal. ????? It appears to work flawlessly now.
My signal on the n4 jumped all over the place. It holds still full and I don't lose service now in a town I drive through. I get WiFi outside my house that can stream video when my n4 couldn't at all.

I have better dbm signal strength on the N5 (comparing to my GS4) in pretty much all locations I've been to so far.
I'm getting better reception than my note 2 it seems. Very happy so far.

Overall, this seems to be the case for me as well. And I'm comparing for reception underground (basement level) where I work.
It's better then the Nexus 4, but I'm using it on CDMA and it's CDMA reception is less then the HTC EVO 4G by 1 bar.
My Verizon upgrade is due in February and though I love my galaxy nexus the reception is terrible constantly in 3g. I had an s3 for about 6 months always had 4g but just missed my nexus to much and switched back despite the constant data drops..
Which phones on Verizon have the best/descent/worst antenna?

That's on all android phones and not relevant to what the OP was talking about. IF nothing else I miss that from my SGS2 as well as it had good info. No such thing with the Nexus 5 but there should be apps or if you have LTE
Has I missed but has anyone tried using the nexus 5 with a T-Mobile Sim outside USA? It doesn't work. I never knew it was the phone until I took a old unlocked from Att phone with me and as soon as my nexus lost signal I popped my Sim in the iphone and got full signal. Next I tried with a T-Mobile Galaxy s4 nexus lost signal S4 worked like a champ. Called google and the first person I talked to told me it was a known issue and her husband takes a back up phone when he travels. The next person told me to call Tmobile.

This is the nexus 5 thread and why are you posting this in a dev section anyway
^ because he wants a magical elixer, secret potion, or flashable .zip to cure his problems and increase his benchmarks.
