RAvirani Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I have a sprint iPhone 6S and I've noticed that my phone attempts to connect to LTE band 13 with an EARFCN of 5230 when I'm roaming. It does this every few minutes or so for a second or two and then drops back to 1x. Isn't B13 Verizon? Why would my phone be doing this?

RAvirani Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 How do you notice this? -Anthony The little LTE thing icon appears at the top every few minutes for a few seconds so I sat with the field test number dialed into phone and clicked it as soon as I saw it. I was able to pull up a field test and see the stuff under Serving Cell Info before my phone dropped back to 1x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascertion Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I was in an area where B5 LTE was the only available LTE network and my Nexus attached to it for a few seconds, but failed authentication. Never happened again since. It dropped back down to eHRPD. Sent from my Nexus 5X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
