blakebaa Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 So, if the rumors are true, in roughly 48 hours we should have Sprint Spark. I sure hope so. My moms S3 gets 2 bars of LTE in my house, when I get none. It is a brand new tower, so I feel like it is the CSFB issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell352 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I hate that the update is pushed in waves but I understand its for bug testing purpose. Lg needs to do something like samsung kies air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakebaa Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 So, as I heard they will be sending the update out in waves, will they do the same order again? Or maybe different? Because I got my update 5 days after my dad and brother did. It really upset me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTAs for all Android devices (except HTC - see here) are completely random, no matter what wireless provider is involved. It is done that way to keep the load balanced on their servers. If you can't wait for your turn, it will probably be available for download from sites like XDA shortly after the rollout begins. -Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dave Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Do you have band 41 active? If so it loves to jump. I don't, I turned off the other two bands just incase there would be an issue once the Spark update rolls out. Oddly, the last few days I have been without eHRPD and my LTE signal holds on like crazy. I've seen as low as -138 dBm quite a few times. I've also had it where it won't switch to 3G for phone calls because I will suddenly have 2 voice mails just pop up randomly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTC devices .HTC uses their own update server infrastructure rather than relying on Google's GOTA Android servers (available to all Android manufacturers, hence the scheduling). Because of this, they can dictate their own update mechanism, which is usually a free for all. Fewer devices to update compared to all other manufacturers, thus fewer resources required. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascertion Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Bluetooth issues still persist. Haven't been able to remedy the problem. Brother's N5 doesn't have static in my vehicle, but my g2 does. I've tried 100% stock, and custom ROM. (Not AOSP yet, but heard it has BT issues.) Anyone know what else to try? Totally lost here. Maybe the OTA will patch some unknown bug that exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thinking of switching from my 5s to a g2. Does anyone have a concrete answer as to when the spark update will rollout? Or is still just rumors. How does the g2 perform on band 41 without the update? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveO_148 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I am actually kind of glad that other people are having trouble with the sound quality through the bluetooth... I thought it was just me. I really hopes that it gets fixed soon though. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
