Network Vision is already 68% complete. Network Vision is the upgrading the equipment at each site to NV standards. This is NV1.0. This will complete in roughly 9 months. And LTE 1900 (Band 25) will be added to each NV1.0 site when the appropriate backhaul is ready.

 

How much trouble are the backhaul providers causing?  I see that many site near me have been upgraded, but the backhaul hasn't been installed.  We have nice new shiny equipment and the same less than desirable speeds.

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

Backhaul is a site by site issue. Extremely variable. The ones already live are the easier ones.

So...who's canceling their orders for the LG G2 now on the Tri-Band news? I'm not...Cause I'm not in a market that will have "Spark" capabilities yet...and by the time they enable it, it probably still won't be out....No Rush....I am in between Tampa and Miami, but I've only been to each twice since I've been here and it's been months...

 

How about you guys?

 

I pretty glad I opted to stop waiting for triband and did an update in September.

 

Would have been livid if I had waited for Nov 8 and then be told tow ait a few more months!

NV2.0 is adding Band 26 (LTE 800) and Band 41 (TD-LTE 2600) to every NV site. That work is just now starting for Band 26, and will not start for Band 41 until next year. So these new Bands are not slippage, they are just another phase to NV that brings even more to the network. NV2.0 is separate and added later to the plan. It's not a failure.

It would be seriously awesome if you put this on the homepage or something. At the very least, a wall article explaining the relationship between NV and Spark would do a ton to keep these questions from being asked over and over.

It's risky AND Sprint will wash their hands of any responsibility for sure.

What responsibility? If the original owner didn't call in to report it lost/stolen, there is no way for Sprint to know that it was lost or stolen at the time of activation.

 

If the person calls in a few days later, it will be flagged. If it was the previous owner of the phone, they are believed instead of the "newer" activation, there is just too much fraud in the industry to have it any other way.

Has anyone been able to put a tmobile or At&t sim card in the sprint variant of the LG G2, change the apn and successfully connect to there hspa+ networks like the Verizon variant can or has no one tried yet?

Gotta sim unlock it first. They don't come sim unlocked you know....

Call sprint and hope they know how to do it..... It took months for the HTC One and gs4 to get unlocked properly. Also you can't be on a spending limit and it's some other bull they require.

I say this though because the Verizon variant came SIM unlocked out of the box.

Well that's BS. It would probably help there network knowing that everyone deosnt have to be on it and wait for network vision to complete.

Maybe that's how Verizon does but sprint locks the sim.

I know this is late, but I barely had time to see this:

http://newsroom.sprint.com/news-releases/first-sprint-tri-band-capable-smartphones-arrive-on-nov-8.htm

 

Haha! I was right then I said they should make a press release for these Triband phones. I would quote myself from the other G2 thread, but that's all I want to say... lol. December 1st can't come any sooner for my upgrade date.  :tu:

Seems to be a hassle to get your SIM unlocked. I just called and got transferred 3 times. They don't even know what SIM unlock means and this is tech support lol

You have to talk to someone in international services. And I wouldn't even try right now, the device isn't even released yet and every device seems to have their own unlock method.

Cringing after reading the comments on this. Good article though.

Yep, I read the article and comments (and several similar) and I ask myself, "Why am I signing up for this?"

 

I was tsk-tsked when I joked that the "Sprint's first tri-band phone" G2 thread might need to be renamed. Well, as it turns out... When will the punkin' of g2 users end? I may turn and run while I still can.

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      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!

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      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.

      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.
