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.

I tried doing it manually but i cant open abd

 

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.

Only through the adb command. I don't know how to do it thru mobile terminal or from the volume keys on the phone.

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.

    • Also a full system update, security update of about 500 or so MB
    • A new 60MB GP System update was waiting when I checked my S24+ tonight.  And bringing it to a November 1 date this time. 
    • Pixel 8a Dec system update over 800 mb is out for locked t mobile.
    • Drove by there and it definitely isn't on the Northlake property. It was very late, so I couldn't see much else though. Did some more sleuthing on GoogleMaps and I suspect it might be this powerline site nearby: Google Maps I will go by there in the next couple of days during the daytime and see if that's the case.
    • Vinegar Hill is getting the Brooklyn Heights treatment now with regard to small cells. I mapped two more small cells in the neighborhood in the past few days so now T-Mobile is up to 8 of them in such a tiny neighborhood. While it's cool they're doing this since it means outdoors you get a consistent 400Mbps+ almost everywhere, it sucks because they're obviously deploying so many of them to make up for their lack of a macro site in the entire neighborhood. Because there isn't a macro, the small cells have a greater coverage area than you see in other neighborhoods and you often connect to them while indoors but coverage and speeds fall off indoors much faster on small cells than on macros in my experience.  Even Dish has better coverage than T-Mobile in Vinegar Hill since they added the site on top of the Extra Space Storage building alongside AT&T and Verizon. T-Mobile needs to get in line with their competitors there.
