The ONE, the ONLY LG Viper Ice Cream Sandwich Thread

The Signal bars on the Viper represent LTE signal over 1x, just like it does for 3g.

How can you tell? Almost every time LTE is strong, so is 1x.

Earlier i had a 1x signal of -85 and an LTE signal of -106, and my signal strength indicator showed no bars.

-106dBm RSRP should not be zero bars. Not even close. Sounds like your device is wonky.

I'm thinking so too.

Do yu have any idea when sprint will release ics

 

They started the release of ICS for the Viper on November 1st. It takes approximately 2 weeks for an update push to be completed. If you want to update manually, you can do so with this post on Android Central.

 

If you rooted your phone, you have to use the un-brick method that was also posted at Android Central, located here.

If I was booted into Windows, I would do what I can to help you. Try searching through the thread over there, if not, ask user tommyjoesanders.

I forced the update the day it came out and have had no problems with it. I enjoy it thouroughly. I have not had any of the battery issues that others complain about. I use juice defender and with mild use my battery lasts a day and a half. the actual only problem i have had with the phone are a lack of LTE. It is currently being put up in ky where i got the phone but then my job transfered me to utah which has no estimate date for coverage. Would really like to see jb on this fun it could handle it and would be a good long term answer with it.

I was able to confirm that the LG Viper does show the 4G LTE signal strength now that it has ICS update.

Do you guys think I should pick up a used Viper to play with until my contract is up in June? I am on the NS4G, we are finally getting some LTE here in Charlotte and I want to start driving around and doing speed tests. I'd feel vaguely guilty going backwards to ICS from JB, but judging by the screenshots you all have put up it looks pretty nice after the update. (Except Josh, that font is hideous.)

Yes!

 

They are fairly reasonable in the secondary market and not a bad little phone.

That same font is on the Galaxy S III, but I liked it when I had my Viper. Right now I have a Galaxy Nexus.

    • T-Mobile Fires Back At AT&T After Their Statements On T-Priority
    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

    • FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
