If you watch the video, it seems like the "middle" button b/w the up and down arrow is a FINGERPRINT READER I think.  I don't think that it is a button.  Pretty sweet if it works as advertised.

 

When this phone first leaked it looked like a fingerprint reader. But i have seen on multiple sites that it is just a power button.

Guys, the official training video from LG sent out to sprint store employees spends a bit of time talking about it being triband. I really wouldn't worry.   Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4

Very limited time with it today. Obviously the device is not activated so I can't do to much as far as band selection and such. Also I don't have the MSL. Nothing in the quick start guide about

I guess the official name of the successor of the LG Optimus G phone series will be known as the G2 phone where LG is adopting the "G" name for its series.  Can't wait until August 7th to hear more details on the phone.  Hopefully its a nice flagship phone to get and will make it to Sprint.

Yes there are already jokes about Tmobile suing LG for the rights to "G2"..blah blah blah.  I just hope they make a great smartphone that is comparable to the SGS4 and HTC One.

Here you go, guys.  Tri band LTE has arrived at the handset level, too.

I can't see those links at work... does it mean that LG G2 is tri band?

 

Yes, this is presumably the LG G2 headed to Sprint.  It is tri band LTE:  band 25 LTE 1900 + band 26 LTE 800 + band 41 TD-LTE 2600.  One notable caveat is that it supports neither SVDO nor SVLTE.

Whoa! I think you said something about that a few weeks ago that you thought SVLTE could be ditched with Tri-band LTE phones.

Yes, we had heard that SVLTE may not be capable on the new tribands. However, it was not a rumor we could corroborate. I guess now it is.

Thanks. Disappointing. But maybe in the future there will be a fix for this debacle. Hopeful for the future, but not banking on it.

There are a whole lot of antenna elements that have to be crammed inside this puppy...

But the big takeaway is that CDMA1X, EV-DO, GSM, W-CDMA, and LTE all share the same transmit path, thus no SVDO nor SVLTE.

Or whatever the LS980 is.

 

I'll be picking one up when it comes out, if Samsung doesn't beat LG to the punch.

Hmm...so only two transmit paths for the entire device (WiFi + Cellular)? That's unfortunate...coming from the owner of an SVDO + SVLTE device.

      Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      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.

      https://www.yahoo.com/news/dallas-county-completes-first-911-194128506.html - First 911 call/text received over Starlink/T-Mobile direct to cell.  This appears to be in Dallas County, MO.
