Does LG have the same issue as Samsung in regards to LTE signal strength not showing the appropriate signal bars? Even in this stock image, it looks like LTE is only showing 1 bar. doh.gif

 

You only see one bar?  I see full bars.

The image is pretty low resolution, so I guess it could be debated. There appears to be more white near the end of the signal icon though. Enhance->zoom->sharpen. Also, if it was showing full signal bars you'd expect the signal icon to match the white/brightness of the battery icon spot on.

The other bars would be dark grey if  there was only one bar. And no, LG does not have an issue showing "bars." The representation is the same as it is on any other Sprint device. Roughly <-115 0 bars, -110 1 bar, -100 for 2, -95 for 3, -90 for 4, >-85 full bars.

I still see full bars with some mysterious white spot at the end that appears to be slightly brighter than the rest.

Only 1GB RAM (Apple would be proud though :) ?  720P?  Yikes.

 

We proudly present to you the Samsung Galaxy Note 1.5!

 

It's a budget phone for those that don't need the capabilities of the flagships and don't have the means / want to pay for a flagship.

But the size is of a phablet and includes a pen.  It is really an odd device.

 

I could understand a ~ 5" phone with middle of the road specs with no pen.

 

Plus the T-Mobile version has 2GB of RAM.

Age old statement of you get what you paid for applies here.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
