tprevett Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The serving cell info is most valuable one.. On the 6, the FREQ BAND INDICATOR will show what band you are on (25, 26,41). Yours is showing 1092552756. And with your speed, you are likely on B41 CA. Maybe a funky number in the FREQ BAND INDICATOR indicates CA.. Keep your eye on that serving cell screen for us please.. -- EDIT - the screen I meant was "Serving Cell Info" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Run a speedtest or several and then swap to field test. Carrier Aggregation only kicks in after a data session is initialized and it takes a few seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bipbapbam Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Ah, so that's how the iphone reports CA. "Unkown". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kineticman Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Run a speedtest or several and then swap to field test. Carrier Aggregation only kicks in after a data session is initialized and it takes a few seconds. Note his download frequency changed from the first screen to second - he's definitely in an area with second B41 carrier active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter. Either B41 carriers can be the PCC. The only method I know of for iPhones is if the UARFCN is different from the stated "Downlink / Uplink Frequencies" in field test.

Vince Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Omg, Sprint literally just added a second band 41 carrier to my home tower 10 minutes ago. Just saw it pop up while sitting here on the couch. Happy carrier aggregation iPhone 6s day! Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbolen Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Peek and Pop is great. I get somewhere close to 200 emails a day between work and my primary gmail address. This is going to make shooting through my inbox a breeze! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk I remember when iPhone users were being made fun of for missing out on CA with the iPhone 6. Looks like it's a just in time flip switch for us! Hopefully we'll get 3xCA at this time next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care when the first phones with CA came out, I look at when CA was first reported in the wild. It wasn't that long ago--maybe a few months?

Soupcan Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Just got off of chat to get my phone activated... Rep told me there are some server provisioning problems, whatever that means. She said to wait 1-2 hours then try again. Grrrr sprint..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucdenny Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 How is the RF performance comparing to the old iPhone 6? I have the 6S Plus 128GB sitting in front of me, debating to return the phone and going to the $1 lease. This all depends on the RF performance differences.

Vince Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 It sucks how customers on retired plans can't use Sprint.com/activate for new purchases and swaps. You have to call or chat. Not sure why they would do this. Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacinJosh Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 I got my phone an hour or so ago. Had to wait for the system to pick up because it was running slow. I was the only one there for an iPhone today. Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
