  1. Well here's my update. I guess something went wrong with my device when the ota enabling CA pushed through. After trouble shooting and finding out it was my device not the network, Sprint was nice to send me a replacement free. Look at what this new bad boy pulled my best so far. I almost had a heart attack. Been enjoying CA for almost 2 months now! It's pretty wide spread from Hartford to Manchester ???? https://www.dropbox.com/s/f3vsr62w7hts0ni/Screenshot_2015-10-22-05-18-40.png?dl=0
  2. Oh OK cool. I've had this phone since release and always had a stable connection to band 41. I don't see how my phone could just crap out on one band but work fine on the others. I'll see if I could get my hands on another tri band phone and see if the problem exist on it sometime soon.
  3. Yes and I have, both profile and prl. I even did a ##786# reset and almost had a non working phone because band 41 wouldn't push data to provision the device. Had to wait till I got to an area where 41 wasn't available to do the hands free activation successfully.
  4. I doubt it. Maybe I'm going to far back. It's probably only been two weeks but seems much longer.. Have you been connecting to band 41 with no issues as of lately? I doubt it's my phone. I have so many tickets open its not even funny.
  5. B41 has been down here in Hartford for the past three weeks. It follows me throughout Hartford, Manchester and Windsor. This has been such a pain as band 41 seems to be the band with the highest priority and my phone always picks it up which leaves me with a gray LTE icon that won't push any data. Switching to CDMA was my only option for a stable data connection.
  6. Good luck! Haven't picked it up on a G2 and I live in Hartford. Also why does my EVO LTE pick up 800smr almost everywhere in CT while the One and G2 are constantly on 1xrtt? It's as if it was shut off from the 55/56 PRL because the 25/26's pick it up most places sitting next to each other. As a matter of fact I haven't seen 800 smr on my One for about a month so I'm actually shocked the EVO is connecting to it. I guess that's why Student had posted the pics on 800 after I said it seemed it got shut off. The S3 is on the 25*** PRL and at the time I was going by my One's signalcheck app and now I know the LTE is also connecting like a champ on the same PRL.
  7. What really amazes me is that I had full bars of WiMAX on my S2 at home and on my Note I have to turn off LTE if I want usable data. And what's even funnier is that my home had 4G LTE before my sisters home and my aunts but now they have it and a pretty strong signal at that. Maybe Sprint has my tower marked as last to be upgraded since my data usage is always 20+ gigs lol. As for upgrading I don't want to use my upgrade so I'll stick it out till the Note 4. Also i noticed that after like a week of 800smr, it seems like they shut it down. All my phones are back at 1xrtt! I was picking up 800smr all the way from the westend to the northend of Hartford. Sure was nice!
  8. Thank you for the clarification. I was under the impression evdo did better than LTE on that regard. So I shouldn't expect great LTE coverage like that of evdo on my Note 2 till I upgrade to a tri-band device basically. This makes me want to take my niece's G2 and stick her with this Note lol.. But no I'll just wait for the Note 4 like I have been for a while now.
  9. An S3 or an S2? The S3 uses the same LTE as the S4. Band 25 (1900). Last Galaxy that did Wimax was the S2.
  10. Seems like it, I already contacted Hulu about it but they just sent me a bs troubleshooting response which I already pretty much did on my own. I have a question for you though. Why is LTE on the 1900 band so bad at penetrating through buildings but 3G does great on the same frequency? In my home area everywhere I go I get full bars of 3G but with LTE the coverage is always fuzzy. Even outside the most I see is 2-3 bars unless I'm right under a tower.
  11. Lol some of you are hilarious. Especially the guy with the crack comment.. Anyways Sprint rep said my G2's radios performance wasnt performing well. From the min I walked in and gave him my phone he noticed my signal was very sporadic. It would jump from no bars to four of LTE while the display G2 was steady at two bars. The new one so far looks like is handling LTE better and hasn't gave me a speed test below 2mbps like the old one would. My hulu still won't work tho, even with the better performance but at least YouTube now plays HD without buffering.
  12. Ok maybe I should've just said power it off for a few minutes not a battery pull. Same thing almost. You don't need to be sure as I know what devices i have on my account and in what I spend my cash on. Maybe this G2 is defective or the radio modem sucks but I know for a fact the LTE is not performing as well as my other devices. Speed test app shows it as so does Hulu (which does not play at all) and YouTube which skips constantly. Also out of both the links I posted one was about that csfb or whatever its called issue, the other one the user is specifically talking about his speeds as well and no one had an answer. Also another thing I noticed is standing in one spot I can get 1 bar of LTE facing one way and as soon as I start turning another direction it'll jump to 4 in the same spot so maybe it is a radio issue.. 10yrs with Sprint I think I should know when one of my phones is under performing with all the trouble shooting I've done throughout my years with them.
  13. I'm just stating my experience with the phone. All my single band devices trash my G2. This includes a EVO LTE, One, GS3, and Note 2. I've been doing speed test back to back on all of them. The G2 always falls short compared to the other devices. A quick Google search gave me a few articles of ppl having LTE issues as well. Maybe it's just the G2 but I'm not the only one who's experiencing LTE issues. https://community.sprint.com/baw/mobile/mobile-access.jspa#jive-discussion?content=%2Fapi%2Fcore%2Fv2%2Fdiscussions%2F139377 https://community.sprint.com/baw/mobile/mobile-access.jspa#jive-discussion?content=%2Fapi%2Fcore%2Fv2%2Fdiscussions%2F142574
  14. Well before you make the jump, the G2 and probably every other tri band device have LTE speed issues. All my single band devices smoke it on download speeds. It'll sometimes have a burst of 5+mb but for the most part I get downloads of 0.60mb to 2mb while my Note and One keep a steady 5-10mbps consistently. It's weird, I have called sprint and they pretty much didn't do anything but had me do the battery pull and reprovision the phone. Nothing's change, I can use Netflix and YouTube but hulu will not play at all on that device whether HQ or LQ.
