LG G2 -- the first Sprint tri band LTE handset (was "LG Optimus G2")


Thai

Got to play around with the Verizon model today, liked it... I really wish the Note 3 was tri-band though, really like the large screen.

Interesting development on my Best Buy order: I placed my pre-order on the 11th, and a Pending charge showed up on my credit card. After a few days the Pending charge disappeared without any actual charge going through. Today the Pending charge has reappeared! Might mean that they are going to charge me and ship soon, maybe. No change on my Order Status online though, still says "Order In Process"

I got my case in the mail. It really does exist, despite not showing up on Ballistic's website. I got it for $30 on eBay.

Not much difference in size to my Evo 3D with Otterbox Defender case. In fact, my Otterbox makes my Evo significantly thicker than the LG G2 in the Ballistic Maxx case.

Not bad.  I got my case in the mail from Amazon, it was the Diztronic and I actually got one coming in from someone on Reddit I think Poetic case?  Going to decide on which one I want to keep once I try them both on.  The Poetic one looks nice but I am unsure of how much I like it compared to the Diztronic one.

Now if we only had a phone to put in the case...

I am a Best Buy Premier Silver customer (or whatever it is calling the highest echelon theses days). My order is processing and cannot be canceled. It should ship soon, so there you have it...

I love the protection of the Ballistic case but what annoys me is the rubber corners which makes the inside of my pocket come out when I remove it.

Minor to some, but pseudo-major to me.

Otterbox Commuter is my current favorite.

Just my $.02

The best case is no case. Do not be a klutz. Problem solved. And enjoy the design of your handset.

Ballistic now shows the Maxx on the website. My wife is now upset I didn't get her one despite her being adamant about not wanting a bulky case. Hopefully she will like her Otterbox Commuter that I got her. We shall find out tomorrow.

That's nice in theory, but I work in group homes and at a school for intense behavior mentally handicapped children and adults. My phone gets picked up and thrown, stepped on, dropped while dealing with incidents at work and sometimes while in my pocket, it'll get smacked into a doorway or wall. I need all the protection I can get when it comes to my phone or it won't last long.

Screenshot please. The other box from earlier in the thread had just 1900mhz listed.

Not sure if I can take a pic. I could potentially lose my job but I will ask. I will double check but I'm pretty sure it listed tri-band lte.

Saying you don't want to be a klutz and actually not being a klutz are two completely different things. ;) At least it is for me.

In case anyone missed it earlier, this is interesting:

Thank you very much for that information. Now I know to order the T-mobile version and NOT the AT&T version.....

 

What is that mic on the back next to the flash for anyways on the AT&T version?

More noice cancellation. There is a specific feature in the camera app that lets you zoom in on a person's voice and trys to block other sounds

I'm really looking forward to reading about RF results from this device. Being an HTC Evo 4G LTE owner, I've seen my share of reception issues. With a tower a couple of hundred yards away, I'm getting anxious for user reports.

Okay so the box does say only 1900mhz for lte.

The box was confirmed awhile ago to only list 1900 MHz LTE when someone took a pic of it.  Not a big deal.

Hmmm... I could be wrong, but that doesn't seem to fit the description of "tri". What you're saying looks more like "uni" - or is that "mono"? Is it time to edit the title of this thread? :(

no need to edit, FCC docs clearly showed tri-band... as did sprint page a while back before they got rid of saying that

    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.
    • Same here, haven't had a single issue with RCS
    • Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.
    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
