The Sprint S4 tri-band is as real as leprechauns but for some reason tons of people have been swearing for months it's coming any day........ Meanwhile there are several phones about to come out that will be real and released on Sprint that have it. Read the first post in this thread lol. 6-6-13 confirmed S4 with tri-band huh.

Sprint may be releasing a new gs4 that's not called the Active. It might be the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Epic Touch Hands Free Air Gesture Motion Sensor 4G.   Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I was told by a pretty solid source that there would be a Samsung GS4 Refresh that would be triband and another Samsung triband smartphone this year. I assumed the second one was the Note 3. That as

Triband my man. It'll be worth it.

I know Triband would be worth it. I'm just thinking s4 may never see Triband status at this point. But I could see an s4 dual band being released if it was already in the works. Since this one is 850 maybe they already had plans for an 800 (without 2600).

Tr-band only for me. I'm already leaning more towards the Note 3 vs the GS4, so unless the GS4 Tri-band Superspeed Unicorn Poop Edition with Google happens to exist, I'll probably just grab the Note 3. Unless the case is made out of butter.

We've heard from very credible sources about another Samsung Triband device coming other than the Note 3. It seems highly likely it would be the S4 Triband.

What if it's a mid-range device? Like how the first LTE phone was the LG Viper. Well and the Galaxy Nexus.

Its either single band or triband. No point of sprint making dual band lte phones.

I would shit brix if both note 2 and GS4 were updated with triband. But I doubt the note 2. But there's like 1% lol. But thanks for the awesome news. I can't wait, my family down in HN is holding out on the triband GS4 :)

Think Note 3 instead of Note 2, and you won't be disappointed.

Oh I know. I can't wait for LTE800

with SMR800 I get -80-95 DB in my place.

So I'm hoping lte800 will be the same. :D

And yes I am getting the Note 3. Either Christmas or black Friday lol. That's when you get the best deals IMO

Well if Samsung says "hey sprint were not making Tribands s4s but we got this dual band s4 already in production or do you want more single band s4s?" sprint should probably order a couple. I mean they are gonna be selling single band phones for awhile why not sell dual bands if it'll help. This is probably all moot but just throwing it out there.

Do you keep them in your sock drawer?

 

Butthead: Check it out. It's that Kaopectate--

Beavis: Oh yeah, that stuff is terrible. It like is expensive, and tastes terrible, and it doesn't work. It says it's for diarrhea, and I drank a whole bottle, but I never got diarrhea--

Butthead: Beavis--

Beavis: Then a week later, this brick pooped out of my butt. It was all hard and black. I can show it to you if you want.

Butthead: You still have it?

Beavis: Sure. I keep it in my sock drawer.

Butthead: Beavis, you're just joking right?

Beavis: Ummmm yeah I mean ummmm no.

Butthead: Beavis, I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear any of this.

But here is the problem...sprints LTE bands are very specific so unless sprint ever requested a dual band LTE gs4, which i highly doubt, there wouldnt be such device in the pipeline. Sprint was just waiting for the LTE 800 fit test results before launching triband.

Yeah i know. Just seems odd. If they release this 850 lte version the only carrier that can use it is us cellular. Just seems like something is up their sleeves. Hopefully sept 3rd will have some answers.

South Korea uses band 5 LTE 850.  This variant will not be for sale here.  It is just getting authorization for use here.

Ah ok. I'm not asking you to confirm or deny anything, but I wonder if it's this.... http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-mega-coming-att-sprint-and-us-cellular

 

I still don't see the point of this device since it seems to be a bigger (!) Note, but that's the beauty of options I guess.

We haven't seen the FCC docs on the Sprint Mega variant yet. But I expect it to be Band 25 only. If it was Triband, I'm pretty certain my son will get it it. It's his dream phone. :lol:

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      By mikejeep · Posted

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
