anthony.spina97 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Can iphone5 get lte 800 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The iPhone 5 can only access Band 25 LTE on Sprint's PCS 1900 MHz frequency. The only iPhones that can access Band 26 LTE on Sprint's 800 MHz fequency are the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C. However, the iPhone 5 CAN access CDMA 800, also known as 1xAdvanced 800, which is for Voice and Text, and very, very little data (Just in case you didn't know ).

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If you are using an iPhone 5, no matter what you try, there is no possible way to activate Band 26 LTE. The hardware isn't there in the phone. And if you have a 5S jailbroke, it'd be a miracle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what software changes you make to the 5, you can't enable band 26 because it lacks the radios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaNa_Ch!LL Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 My iPhone 5 hasn't been connecting to LTE for a couple of hours. I checked my prl and now it's changed to 60657. It was 51098 before I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dfarley Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Is there a way to check to see if the iphone is connected to 1x800? From the engineering screen select the 1x option (this option won't be available if you're in an area with LTE); under system ID the number will be 22xxx if you are connected to SMR. With PRL 51098 you will only connect to SMR if there is absolutely no PCS available, and even if you do your phone will desperately try and find PCS again. I just updated my PRL to 60657 and I'm very curios to see what changes this brings... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you're JB it's still kind of a pain, but definitely possible. There's 800 priority PRLs available to Sponsors & Premier Sponsors of S4GRU.

Vince Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I have also had my prl updated to 60657. Having a hard time connecting to LTE here in Chicago. I wonder what changes it made. I'm also dying for a 5s/iOS 7 JB so that I can access the carrier bundle. I'm dying to know if band 26 is locked. I'd like to connect to it since it's supposedly partially live in the Chicago market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar091466 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 With prl 60657 I can not connect to lte. I just manually updated the prl with ##update# ...No matter what I try nothing. Another iphone 5s on the previous prl to this one is still connecting fine tho. Anyone have any idea to what's going on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaNa_Ch!LL Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Is sprint forcing iPhone owners off of LTE for the time being? Hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony.spina97 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 This is ridiculous. They need to fix this. Why would they force us off LTE?In the "Current Sprint PRLs" thread in General topics, digiblur says that it sounds like it may be a legacy non-LTE prl, and I think it's safe to assume that it may be a mix-up on Sprints end. I doubt they would purposely force us off of LTE, because I see no benefit to Sprint in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
