yet when LTE launched here in Feb my daughter had her LG G2 & I was on the Photon Q she was connected to 1x800 & so was I yet now that I have the LG G2 I cant get it to come on my phone I will have to look at her phone again tomorrow to see what she is connected to also would this explain on why my Speeds have started to Sux hardly can stream Music or youtube videos even on the lowest setting really sad I have to wait until the end of March to see Spark here in town & get the Speeds that I will enjoy

Can't understand some of that, but 1x800 has absolutely no bearing on the speeds you are getting.

 

If you are connected to LTE, you WILL NOT CONNECT to 1x or 1x800.

 

If you don't have an LTE connection, you will fall back to EVDO and 1x. If you're not seeing 1x800, then you device has decided you don't need it right now.

hmm would know of a way to see what Band I am running on through my phone I know all 3 are enabled yet can't seem to find out what my MSL code is because of the New OTA Update I am running on LS980ZVD I have looked & Lg has done something to block getting also I can get it from Sprint in the morning just am looking for another way to see what the towers are sending to my phone Thanx for all the Help so far

##33284# click LTE Engineering. Not sure what that has to do with connecting to 1x800 though.

Found it looks like I am running on Band 25 right now will look at the Wifes Phone before I head for bed Thanx that code helped me look to see which one I was on

This is what B25 looks like in Clovis (Shaw/Minnewawa), now:

Didn't take long.

The fiber cut down by Modesto Stockton area is still affecting connections statewide. Test a server that's located in the opposite direction for more accurate speed test results.

 

Other than that, that type of speed is to be expected from a single 5mhz carrier and can only be fixed by b26 and b41 both of which is being actively deployed now

Here's a current Clovis test. It was pretty awful for a while, but for now it's not that bad. Seems spotty, but in waves. Sorta odd. As has been mentioned, when it's bad, it's literally all day. So congestion doesn't seem to be the issue. Right now, it's fine all day. Sorta strange.

 

Anyone thinking they're on Sprint Spark is definitely just confused by the logo.

Oh yeah the infamous 'fiber cut'...

 

With no source or legitimacy.

Don't post slow speed tests for no reason.  Also, you only have one bar of a B25 signal.

I thought number of bars weren't an indication of signal strength per the following thread?

That's not what that says.

New devices show signal bars relevant to their reception levels. Ofcourse all the manufacturers have their own thresholds for what constitutes one bar so it's not a totally accurate representation of signal level but is a good estimate.

Examine the date and the metadata.  That info is from 2012 -- well before the release of tri band, single RF path, e/CSFB handsets.  Circumstances have changed.

    • Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!
    • I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip
    • Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]
    • Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
