To the people reporting poor Band 25 reception.   Did you enable Band 26 and Band 41?   Maybe Sprint was already ahead of you on this and you actually are causing the problem?   Maybe they made

I'm sort of new in these parts and I'm not yet caught up on the local sense of humor. Next time can you include some sort of smiley so I know you're pulling our leg?

 

Wish I was....really like to know if the GPS and or 4g antennas are on the back cover

Lots of dummy entries. That doesn't look clean at all. Phone might not know what entry to use for LTE.

I did notice that when I went into the LTE debug menu. I was getting the same error someone else had before. "Cannot connect to data network". It eventually stopped though. I didn't pull the APN from ADB, I rooted then copy and pasted it. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I was thinking about popping out the SIM card and reinserting. See if that does anything. Should I do it while the phone is on? Anyone have any thoughts?

It shouldn't hurt it. Did they give you a SIM tool to eject the tray? I don't think I got one.

I was getting an error with all bands enabled. Something about not being able to establish a secure wireless data connection...

Most of the time in the type section for a apn entry it's set to "mms", "default", "hipri" (hi priority), "supl" or "fota". A lot of them just say dummy. Maybe LG uses some magic to do it I don't know. I know htc does magic too because they don't even use a apn file.

Important announcement:

 

Anyone else who gets a pre release G2, do not get greedy and muck with the band settings. Live with the default for a few days and report your findings. You will be part of our control group.

Also, DO NOT ROOT, control group needs to be as is, out of box or as we'd typically call, "stock".  There have been root methods that screw with pretty essential functions and settings.  :)

 

I'm finding it a bit scary (I'd say hard to believe but I don't mean that the guy is lying) that someone who "always had" LTE hasn't even seen LTE at all on the G2. Unless the G2 is only in one location and that location was fridge for your "typical" LTE device because the Note 2 is a known beast, best of class as far at RF performance goes.

HTC does some trickery that takes the PRL 683D version and converts it to a 683E version that has the 310-120 and even the G block listed if I remember right.  It was a year ago I pulled that from the EFS of my old EVO LTE.  There was also a PLMN files.  I think it combined it from the MLPL file but I was never able to find that one in memory.  I will have to go dig around my old files to see if I can find it.

My root method would have nothing to do with the LTE. I'm a repair tech for Sprint and 2 of my other co-workers are saying they cannot connect at all also.

With all those dummy entries I don't think can. I think your running pre released firmware that wasn't supposed to hit the streets.

So it might not be hardware...just need to wait for the released firmware to drop?

      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....
