Does anyone else notice that in Signalcheck that when connected to LTE the 1xRTT radio appears to disconnect?  My LTE works fine when I'm in town, but as soon as I get back out to my house where I have to use a cell booster it wont connect to anything but eHrpd.  My old Note2 and wife's S4 pick up LTE from the booster just fine.  There's something weird happening with this thing that's not like the old phones.

 

I just activated the device about 30 minutes ago and I am having issues with the Signalcheck app as well where it is not showing my 1x and EVDO values.  I haven't had a chance to test it out in a LTE area but I am worried that it is not even showing up 1x and EVDO values.  It shows the Wifi values just fine though.  Anyone else seeing this issue or can help explain why this is happening?

Here are B41 LTE screenshots from the Los Angeles area and the B41 LTE speeds are REAL!!!! Holy cow!! Thank you Robert, AJ and all the staff at S4GRU for providing this wonderful information about B41

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

According to this:   http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS980-SPRINT/latest   Sprint is currently testing KitKat 4.4.2...(LS980ZVB) as well as a new Modem baseband:   (M8974AAAAANLYD1311)     ...

I'm getting the same.   Are they trying to do this?  If it is, they are making people worried.

What is weird is that I downloaded CDMA Field Test Application app and it is working fine for retrieving 1x and evdo values.  I even compared the values generated in Settings-> About Phone -> Network in real time and it seems to be pretty accurate.

How is everyone's band 25 Connection when it's working? For me, I'm getting - 104dBm in places my GS3 got - 98 to - 102. Seems a bit weaker than the gs3 in connectivity but this processor is amazing. No stutters yet.

Just used chat to get my MSL. Enabled B26 and set it higher priority than B25. We'll see what happens. So far B25 has been normal, just a very little bit weaker than my GS3. I wonder if my Otterbox Defender might be hurting it a bit.

Apparently I did chose right because I am reporting that even with my bands set for all three it is still holding on to lte like the champion it is.  :tu:

I got a chance to do a little observing how my wife's g2 performed last night while we were out in Aurora. She had LTE everywhere I did on my EVO, but generally her connection was 10-15db stronger. On speed tests it translated to some dramatically higher speeds. In our house she is consistently getting between 8-9mb, where my phone averages 5-6.

 

I haven't been able to confirm her g2 is on 800 voice yet. Oddly signal check says she isn't connected to anything CDMA, even though she very obviously is, and can make and receive calls. I may try and get her msl and do some more digging later.

when your no LTE on signal check on the G2 1x and evdo goes away and only shows LTE.

Looks like you need to enable cellular/mobile location services in your device's Settings menu.  See here: http://www.bluelinepc.com/signalcheck/help/#nodata

Thanks for the info.  It now works.  Which reminds me of something else.  I had a notification about Qualcom location (or something ike that).  It said it would improve location services on my phone.  Was that the thing that you just mentioned or is that something else and if it is what does it do?

No, that is something else.

Not being able to access 4G is related to the G2 being an eCSFB device. In markets being deployed with non-incumbent NV equipment these new devices operate differently due to the enhanced circuit switch fallback support being added with NV.

 

I can give more detailed info later if you all want. It isn't a device issue, there is no hardware problem. It's an incompatibility with the legacy and NV towers and technologies that requires eCSFB capable devices to stay on the old system.

Sounds like someone made a big oops with this device release.

Actually it would explain the delay of the G2 so far behind other carriers.  Could also explain the delay in Spark support for Spark Enabled devices, if they are the same way.

 

You wouldn't want to say a device supported spark out of the box if you knew these issues existed.

In markets where the NV vendor is different from the legacy equipment vendor, the circuit switch fallback systems may be incompatible with each other. Single radio devices (essentially non-svLTE) need eCSFB to fallback to 3G to accept a call. Going forward, eCSFB deployment status will factor into analysis on market launches, new markets will only be launched if the gap risk is low. They will also complete the builds quickly in impacted markets to mitigate impact as much as possible. I can upload the legal-approved talking points later as well.

Thanks, that helps but also raises more questions for me lol..

 

So does this mean the g2 doesn't have a live connection to voice service while its on LTE? Does it get signaled for incoming calls over LTE and then switch to cmda or something? My reason for asking is so I can test whether it is connecting to 800 voice or not. Will the g2 not be capable of revealing that until a call is initiated then?

      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....
