  1. Yea that makes sense. I was wondering what pattern or method Mike was using to have Signal Check identify one verses the other.
  2. Just noticed yesterday that SignalCheck Pro said I was connected to an LTE 700 B12 site for T-Mobile, but I was actually connected to a B4 site. There seems to be some sort of error in how it detects B12 for T-Mo.
  3. Cool thanks. Just got the update so I'll try it out.
  4. Not sure if this has been asked.... will Signal Check Pro report T-Mobile's LTE B12? I'm wondering if it'll show once I get the band enabled on my Nexus 6 after the 5.1 update.

  6. Weird... you'd think there'd be more noise about this issue.
  7. That I get, but what I'm wondering is why these problems have started happening suddenly. I understand the concept of the CSFB network but I don't get why it was working for some time then stopped. The reason I brought up Android is because of the timing of getting the 4.3+ updates on several phones and this problem surfacing.
  8. I'm wondering if it's an Android issue. It doesn't seem to be phone specific but more network it seems. My friend also on T-Mo but with a BB Z10 isn't having the issue. On T-Mo, I'm pretty sure the texts are going thru LTE. But whenever this issue started happening, I started getting texts only when I was on WCDMA / HSPA. I hope they rectify the issue soon; I have LTE turned off on my phone in the meantime. Also helps that I was near my quota for the month
  9. It seems that T-Mobile in some places is suffering from that same circuit fallback issue that Sprint was having with their newer tri-band phones. When the phone is on LTE, most of the time when someone calls it just goes to voicemail. I've been having this issue recently and I've seen quite a few threads online with others suffering from the same thing. At least when Sprint was having this issue the phone stayed on 3g until whatever needed to be fixed on the tower level was fixed. Annoying.... at least they're working on it.
  10. Once you know the rules it's not bad getting around the city. I miss DC... born & raised there and haven't been back in a while.
  11. I noticed on other Sprint phones that there's finally 4G here on UM's campus. So that's progress.
  12. Sweet, good to know. I don't see the LTE frequency on my HTC when connected to it. I'm on T-Mo tho.
  13. I would think every phone except the iPhone will get that Sprint made icon. On T-Mobile I have the One and my wife has the S4 and our 4g and 4gLTE icons look the same cuz that's the branding that T-Mobile has. Up until now Sprint hasn't really had a logo for their 4g services like the other big 3 carriers have and have implemented on their phones.
  14. Surprised this hasn't been posted yet: Sprint Spark! That's what they're calling their tri-band devices. It also says the G2 isn't getting an update until next year that enables the 3 bands, while the Mega and the GS4 mini will be enabled with an update at launch on Nov 8. The HTC Max is coming "soon". Maybe that's why so many are having issues with them. http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=13127
  15. Also must be practically next to the tower, with a -57 dbm reading.
  16. Yeah true. Actually somewhere here I remember reading the G2 would be the first phone without simultaneous voice & data except for wifi. Guess it was good while it lasted on Sprint.
  17. Oh I wasn't talking about Voice over LTE, but simultaneously talking on the phone and browsing the web via LTE, like the Sprint phones do.
  18. One thing I was surprised with in switching to T-Mobile is that my One cannot do SVLTE; it kicks back to the "regular" 4g. Are all GSM LTE phones like this?
  19. Where I was impressed was on a trip my wife and I went recently to Sanibel / Ft. Myers area. We had LTE getting onto Alligator Alley (I-75) then it eventually dropped to 4G. I saw 2G for a quick second... didn't last for very long. The whole time we were in Ft. Myers we didn't have LTE but just their normal "4g", but the speeds were still quick. Checking traffic on Maps, using GPS, or looking up places to eat weren't exercises in patience in waiting for the phone to load. That gave them some points in my book. To me in a very basic sense they're in similar situations, in that they're rolling out LTE so it's not everywhere yet. But at least the phone calls and texting are working consistently (and texts seem to be delivered VERY fast).
