I'm trying to figure if this is correct on the data and voice connections....roaming voice but ehrpd?

Correct. For data, you're connected to Sprint eHRPD and for voice/texts, you're routed through Verizon.

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)     ...

Yes, it is possible.  We have talked about this numerous times previously in numerous threads.  Where have you been?

 

By the way, your eHRPD signal strength is unusable, but that should come as no surprise.

Anyone realize you can copy numerous things and paste them wherever? I just linked people to a specific line of code in a webpage and linked a webpage all in 1 window. Pretty awesome feature to have a clip tray.

If I was not on a Triband device, I'd have an inconsistent 4G connection here waiting for my next class to start at 6pm.

 

Netflix/Reddit is blazing on this speed. ;)

Is your device connecting to band 41 automatically or do you have to airplane mode or LTE only mode?

I have it set to prioritize b41 in my LTE menu but I do have to cycle airplane otherwise it'll automatically connect me to b25. I've been on b41 since I cycled airplane mode though. Going for a strong 30 minutes now no disconnects.

We don't have a confirmed way to disable b25 yet, right? I'd love to test for b41, but the b25 is strong in my area.

Yeah, unfortunately you'd have to wait until Spark update comes.

 

Edit: Imagine the N5 users. They can't connect to B41 at all because of how good their radio is for B25. Lol!

Are your Band Priority set like this:

 

B25 - 3

 

B26 - 1

 

B41 - 2?

Sorry, AJ, when my brother passed away back in October, I lost touch of everything when it comes to the new phones, the tri-band setup, and the carrier fallback stuff. I've been trying to play catchup going on 2 weeks now.

LOL that is funny.  Hopefully LG, Qualcomm and Sprint can help fix the LTE thresholds on the G2 to be on par with the N5.  I don't buy that the N5 has superior antennas since I would imagine that LG would use the same antennas for the G2 as the N5.

To be clear, this is nothing new.  It is not related to tri band nor e/CSFB.  A signal schism between between roaming CDMA1X and native EV-DO/eHRPD or LTE has been possible for years.  We get a similar situation posted a few times per month.  That is why I asked, "Where have you been?"

I personally never seen anything related to it until now, never been involved in a thread where it was mentioned until now, and really can't put anymore time than I already do into trying to read and get caught up on things. If I had seen or known of it then I would not have asked.

For years, the PRLs Sprint sends out have been designed to do exactly what you showed. Seek out Sprint EVDO while roaming before using 1x roaming data.

I, for some reason thought that being in a strong voice roaming area would have a lower threshold before dumping an unusable native data connection. I guess hanging on to unusable data they own is better business than switching to roaming data they have to pay extra for. I know you've done some extensive PRL work, do you think this will change as 800LTE becomes more prevalent?

I honestly think that it's just the baseband and the people behind optimizing it. I'm very sure the Spark update is going to be pretty awesome because it'll be bundled with a new radio.img that should be better optimized.

 

How do you get to that screen? Mine only has 1 for the highest

If you type ##3282# > LTE and hit (view). You should see that B41 will be either 1 or 2 and B25 will be listed as 3 no matter what. You can only set the prioritize them to be 1 or 0.

Has anyone tested the Sprint G2 with the Verizon G2 car dock? 

 

In Columbus Ohio, Verizon did not have them in any of the stores.  I tried a magnet but...  http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48067217&postcount=61  It did also find that I needed a 3.1 amp USB car charger to power everything.

 

I have also seen on several occasions where I get a data error after a reset (triband enabled), then I get 800 SMR from a distant site then eHRPD  from a local site.  It was Byesville tower obtained north of Cambridge and New London East of Hilliard (Ohio in all cases).  I was hunting LTE at the time and was trying to reconnect to LTE in one case.  Could this be e/CFSB issues?

 

Also with the G2, I have noticed that older LTE sites are rarely visible while newer LTE sites I typically have few problems finding, which I assume is also e/CFSB issue or just part of the testing process.

 

It also amazes me how well the LTE speeds hold to the edge (or can fall off at the edge) --  I can be getting 12Mb downloads on one side of the street and nothing on the other side (on flat ground).  Sometimes I also get deadzones between LTE and 3G (or I am not patient enough).  I assume these will be future firmware fixes or network tuning (I know it is being worked on).

 

Of course I realize that I basically have a beta phone in a NV installation area. I have done that before with Wimax and software.  I have no complaints here, just observations.

      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....
