I'm not sure, but it seems like there was an issue with your data activation somewhere along the way. I'd certainly point out to them that your voice, 1X data, and LTE data connections work fine, but EV-DO does not. There isn't much that SignalCheck can help you with other than that mobile data status at the top of the screen.

Thank you again.  Ting recommended a carrier reset with Wi-Fi turned off.  That borked voice, text, LTE and 1x as well.  I then performed a factory reset which got the phone mostly working again.  I still do not have 3G data but something has changed.  SCP now reports the connection as "Inactive" instead of as unregistered.  It also reports a 1xRTT and eHRPD connection.  The Sprint connection icon in the drop down box does not show 3G.  The Service State under SIM Status in Settings shows Data as "In Service".  Baffled as to why the Data Service State shows to be In Service when SCP shows it (apparently correctly) to be inactive. 

 

If I set the Preferred Network Type to 1x, the Sprint icon shows the connection to be 3G.  SCP reports only a 1xRTT connection which I assume is correct.

 

If Ting can't figure something out soon, I may start a new thread or post in the Moto X PE thread.

 

Would welcome input from anyone.  Scratching my head at this point and wondering if I just have a bad phone.

Hello all, I have been visiting S4GRU for quite some time, and one of the most common issues I see popping up is confusion from users--especially when they first get 4G LTE devices and/or LTE servi

Regarding the broken 1x/LTE on the Nexus 6 post Marshmallow, it seems LTE Discovery is able to consistently work. It shows the correct info even when the LTE engineering screen is missing the PLMN and Serving Cell (which triggers the bug in SCP). I tested it on known sites and it has the correct GCI.

 

So LTE Discovery must be reading the information differently than SCP or the engineering screen.

lordsutch's Signal Detector (http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3153-cheesy-esmrlte-base-station-tracker)

is also working correctly for me in places that SCP does not work. It seems to reliably detect the band/gci. It does unfortunately show both 1x and LTE active, but maybe an option to not display 1x when LTE is active would make sense.

Some phones like the LG G4 can actually track cdma signal strength while active on Sprint LTE (not Clearwire). This can be be watched on debug as well. It does not allow you to make a phone call and keep the LTE active. The LG G4 also keeps a list of LTE by Sid nid bid.

I'm hoping someone can help me. Before factory resetting my phone, I saved a backup of my site logs. I'm trying to load them back into SCP and it doesn't seem to be letting me do so. Am I missing something? Also, will the log that I saved include my site notes? That's really what I'm hoping to get back on my phone.

I can't remember if I hit "export" or "backup" logs before I reset my phone, but it saved a ".csv" file. I go to import log and find the file on my phone, and when I tap it, it does nothing.

 A .csv  file would indicate export.  Backup would have given you a .db file.   :unsure:

Oh well. I guess I'll have to start over on my notes.

I can try to take the two(CDMA and LTE) csv files and turn it into a db file with SqliteBrowser.

Or you could build a db from the csv with a program like DB Browser.

 

Sorry for following Jeffery_J post I must be tired you could try the premier file too. Not sure how much of shentel I cover.

Maximum possible speed remains the same, but users are divided over the two carriers, thus your speed can double.

Is this a bug? Nexus 6P. Doing a speed test shows that I actually am on LTE. Seen this a few times since I got the phone yesterday.

 

Yep. It's a well known bug with 6.0.

I'm wondering if the OS is seeing the device checking for eCSFB paging? When watching the engineering screens both 1x and LTE are updating. It is really weird

      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....
