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.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are as many Link5G sites as there are reserved small cells from franchisees in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them. — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
