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.

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 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.

Usually with my most updates, someone will post it and you won't need to wait.

I don't remember anyone posting one for the last update the G2 got. Also I no tech place on the internet even acknowledged the update.

It's all over XDA. Most of the ROMs were updated within a week of receiving V8 OTA.

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... :(

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.

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.

There is an exception to this. 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.

Have you called Sprint about the issue, there may be an outage or just something wrong with your device

Interesting, never realized that! Edited my original post, thanks for the info.

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.

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.

Sprint confirmed it'll be out sometime in January.  So worst case scenario, it'll be Jan 31st.

      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....
