I just took a trip up Hwy 395 in Central CA between Mojave and Bishop and was roaming on Verizon in some areas. This was for voice at least as I test called customer service and got the Verizon recording. I also had data roaming in some places but not sure who's signal that was as it worked fine for internet browsing (Ebay, Yahoo and Facebook) but wouldn't allow me to send pictures or search google in my web browser. I'm guessing the file size on the pictures I was trying to send were probably too large for what the roaming partner allows. Also wherever Sprint had coverage LTE worked fine and the voice signal was on 800 Mhz according to debug mode.

Totally agree. I bet 75% of cell sites would overlap. That's a lot to take on!

Nope

Has anyone actually received the update in the past 2 or 3 days? Seems like the rollout has hit a wall and that hardly anyone has actually received it yet. So much for getting it in 2015.

It's normally not supposed to take 2 weeks. In the past the roll out schedule has been more like 7-8 days. Now all of a sudden it's up to 14? Come on that is ridiculous to take that long. They need a new system that can speed things up.

And still nothing today. The 28th!

And still waiting... As usual I knew I would be last to get it.

Still waiting here...

I've always received every previous update that has been released for my Android phones on the VERY last possible day and usually very late that day too. The rolling out in waves thing sucks when they announce the update is now available and then you don't get it for 7-10 days later while everyone else gets it first. I'm sure I'll be last to get this one too!

Still waiting here...

I'm sure i won't get it until the last possible day just like all other previous times I have been waiting for these updates. My G4 was fine for about the first 6 weeks I had it but like my prior G3 I have developed the same issues once again. Lagging when pressing the touchscreen, random screen freezes, force closing of certain apps and apps not doing auto push notifications like ebay, abc news, pulsepoint, etc. I hope the new version fixes some of this!

Best phone I have owned yet. I also said that about the G3 until they ruined it with the lolipop update. Hopefully that doesn't happen with the G4 marshmallow update. My only complaint is the battery drains quickly but I expected that.

This was not OC and not taken by me. I believe it was up in Oregon but not sure exactly where. No idea what that means. Good observation. Haha That's for sure! Tired of the silly water rationing. Also why was my thread moved into this section (it's not So. Cal related) and how do you know when your thread is moved? I didn't get any notification of where it was and when I shared the original link with some others that link became bad so they had to come back and tell me there was nothing to view.

Anyone know what the B25 squared means? I posted this earlier and the thread seems to have disappeared.

Can anyone tell me what this means?

I just read on another forum that you only have to be concerned if the device was made BEFORE September. So looks like I dodged that but just barely.

I bought mine last week on 10/30 from a corporate store but the manufacture date on the bar code says 9/2015. The box does have a white circle sticker on it which seals the top and bottom of the box together. Am I good or not?

I can't give exact specifics but the new PRL is supposed to improve roaming acquisitions and cost in a few states. North Northern CA and Oregon and also somewhere in the Central States.

55026 is now out

They skipped over 55024?

I'll try to look them up soon and see what I can find on them.

What states were the USCC conversions? Illinois and Missouri? Did Sprint assign them a special two digit ID number like they did with the Qwest acquired sites (which had '63' in the cascade ID #'s) about 12 years ago?

Some time over night LTE finally came on my tower! So far every time I do a speedtest check I get a completely different result. Have had between 5 Mbps and 20 Mbps depending on where I am in the house. Ping is between 59 and 69 ms consistently. My home wifi is only good for between 3-4 Mbps and EVDO was 1.5 Mbps so the LTE would seem to be the better option no matter what assuming this holds up.

Great to hear! I don't think we need too many more sites here in the So. Cal area as we got a lot of expansion the first time around with the iDEN synergy sites. But I'm sure some areas could use some new sites.

So anyone know why the change in PRL on the G3 and some others?
