I was looking on my wife's phone and LTE is turned on and everything but when you go to ##data, view, then advanced and scroll down it shows LTE is disabled. I toggled the lte mode off and on but still shows disabled. My note 2 shows enabled. What does others show?

Mine also shows disabled. Never checked it when connected to LTE, I would imagine it would say enabled?

Sounds like a plan to me. I will definitely start working on it.

Mine shows LTE Disabled, and this is on a phone that is receiving LTE now and has been for months.

 

Also shows Home SID as 4139 which is not correct as I am in Wash/Baltimore SID area 4195. Not sure if that is any issue at all, but it makes you wonder. I see no 800 meg service even though the PRL for Wash/Baltimore allows it.

Ok, cool I have used LTE on her phone before but wasn't sure something got messed. I appreciate you guys checking.

 

Home SID on all Sprint phones is 4139 and is absolutely useless. Sprint doesn't charge you extra roaming or long distance charges when you leave your home market. So this feature is not needed.

 

You may not be around a 800mhz enabled site. When connected you will be connected to a 22xxx SID as noted in the debug engineering screens.

Maybe it only shows enabled when actively connected.

I am streaming "Renegade Radio Nashville" on the TuneIn Radio app over 4G. The 4g ICON is blinking with the streaming.. I still show LTE disabled in the advanced section.

My LG Viper always showed disabled too. But my Nexus shows enabled and I'm nowhere near any LTE towers.

I would like to point out these hash code menus are often incomplete, have outdated info, broken links, features that have not been implemented, etc. so the fact that some phones have additional/missing/unused information is not weird at all. There are hash code menus embedded in the Android dialer that Sprint requires that aren't even in use anymore because they are deprecated by newer tools. It is dead code that simply tags along because it takes up so little space and simply tearing it out could cause other issues that aren't readily apparent. Any time code is edited it runs a risk of causing a regression somewhere else.

 

These menus are not meant for an average user to have access to, and most are not used on a daily basis in troubleshooting (i.e. Service & Repair stores or Technical Support).

I still cant believe they gave them away! Have a package on the way to me, apparently, for the note2.

 

The last time the fruit gave away bumpers was because, well, you know...

 

I think this was more of a generous holiday PR push to try to get more customers to buy the GS III and the Note II, because they aren't losing that much to give those out.

Are the signal bars supposed to be grey?

I thought they were supposed to be blue, like on the Gnex.

 

Is there a way to disable the brightness control on the status bar pull down?

 

What does roaming guard actually do? Does it just give you a 'are you sure you want to make this call' message?

Is there a way to make it look like a normal plain android phone?

 

When its grey, it looks like it really isn't connected to the Google servers.

How am I supposed to know if the network connection is good and usable?

 

For example I'm connected to an Airave, which doesn't work very often.

I used the blue colour to indicate when I can send txt/calls too.

Yep, that is the issue I'm having.

Wifi is off.

I had the grey signal bars full, but couldn't make a call over the airave, no data worked.

Rebooted phone. The 3g icon appears now.

It seems like no phone works as expected or desired. :(

Excellent phone to do it with!

And only an extra $9/mo to have it on my account. By fall I can pay the ETF, so I'll be fine with it.

I have found the phone to very zippy, it does need the 2GB ram because of all Samsung bloat running.

I haven't seen it get laggy either.

 

The signal strengths are quite a bit better than the Gnex.

There is a lot I don't like about the phone, but a lot I do. I should've just got this phone instead the Gnex originally. :)

I was forced into the Gnex thru peer pressure. I should have just stayed with the LG Viper. I'll be canceling that line soon anyway, so getting the GS 3 will be a good addition to my collection. If I had a number to port in to Sprint, I would go thru Sprint proper and get my $100 port in credit.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
