I only figured it out by going into settings and changing it that way..

 

Alright, wondering if I should go into the screens and change the priorities or just leave it..I'm right on the edge of a tower for lte and can barely get a signal with it..don't know how to do screen shots to post either..in a speed test last night the highest I got was 8 up and 1 something down..

Only the default keyboard supports the long press on spacebar to change keyboards.

 

After you change to a different keyboard it doesn't appear that any other keyboards support that feature.

 

If that is at home why not just connect to your home internet?  It will be a lot faster in almost all instances then you don't have to worry about messing with your priorities.

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

I changed it to my home wifi.. I was just like everyone else wanting to check out speeds and connectivity.. Still debating with myself if I should change any of the settings with the band priorities... I probably will just leave it alone..

So as I am having no problem with LTE in the ATL and my G2 "Network Mode" is set on "LTE/CDMA" should I have the Connections Optimizer checked or unchecked? 

Not sure if it matters until the Spark update is released.

 

Thanks.

Does the Sprint LG G2 have a FM radio?  I was just testing the NextRadio app and I had my 3G/4G data connection disabled and my wifi disabled and I am able to listen to the FM radio with no issues.  I just have my headphones plugged in to serve as the antenna.

 

I read that the ATT and Verizon versions have the FM radio disabled.  Can someone try using the NextRadio app and see if this works when you have all data connection disabled and see if you are able to listen to FM radio with just your headphones?

Isn't it just as easy to change your keyboard in the notification window?

As far as wifi, I try to use it as much as possible, but Sprint simply works and Comcast both at home and at work constantly has connection and timeout issues. It's just annoying having to reload a page 5 times because of "connection lost" errors. It's nice having a reliable 30 mbps connection.

Yeah, works just fine. I didn't know the other carriers disabled FM. That doesn't make much sense since they have limited data plans. You'd think anything that allows customers to use less data would be welcome to the other carriers who say they have capacity issues.

Thanks.  I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy but I don't see this listed on the specs on the LG website for the Sprint variant.  I'll have my buddy who has a Verizon G2 test the FM radio feature out to verify if this is true that the Verizon and AT&T versions have the FM radio disabled.

So i remember when i was messing with some other carrier G2 phones at best buy they had a scroll bar for brightness in the pulldown menu, All i currently have is a volume scroll bar, anyone know if it is possible to take that off and put in a brightness scroll bar?  Can't seem to find it anywhere in the settings menus.

You can long press the Brightness button to get to the display menu and scroll from there. You can also toggle through steps of brightness by tapping it. I also have a widget on my home screen to adjust it.

I would freak out if my home internet connection dropped regularly.  I would call them everyday until they figured it out.

Comcast business class Internet. Up to 50 times faster...at delivering the next connection timeout error.

Geez, With my Verizon FIOS Internet, I have been getting 87 down and 39 up with the G2 on WiFi.

 

My plan is actually 75/35 so the G2 is as good as my desktop PC.  :)

Anyone else have some erratic touchscreen behavior? Occasionally, the screen will detect multiple clicks or jump all over the place while scrolling with finger on the screen.

Koiulpoi (who started this thread) had that problem.  He sent his back.  I saw some reviews on the Verizon version that had that issue as well.

So what seems to be the best case/protector so far?

I have tried many throughout the years and on many phones and I keep coming back to the OtterBox Commuter case.

Light, not slick, good looking.

In fact, my phone is wearing one now.

Just my $.02

Yes. I have had this issue. Seems like its sensitivity is set a little to high.

Suggestions?

 

 

 

 

I have the Ballistic Maxx case and my wife has the Otterbox Commuter. Both are excellent.

I would try turning on "Show Touches" in the Developer Options to see if it's actually registering multiple touches.

I have the Spigen Slim Armor case in Infinity White.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
