LG G2 Users Thread!

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.

 

Comon man, 5S < G2 by long shot.... forget about the update, you'll surely forget all about the iPhone when you get G2.  I'm not saying that because I think the iPhone is a joke... but I actually turned a long time iPhone user to G2 (during the free deal at Best Buy) and she is very Very VERY happy and misses nothing having to do with iOS.  :tu:  :tu:

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.

Thanks for confirming.  I thought it was only me and I was going to request a replacement soon.  Guess I'll hold off.

I don't see anything yet mentioning the Spark update on the Sprint site.

The last OTA was posted at 11:36am. We'll see if anything posted by 1pm. Otherwise we should assume it's not today.

 

Here's another page you can check in the mean time.

Hey can you actually download those files from there?

Not really for what you are thinking of, its released due to the license of Android. Nothing more.

 

Wait for the update to hit someone's phone, then they will either post the update link to Google's server or the update zip itself. You can then take the file yourself and apply the update as long as you haven't modified any system files it will pass and update everything. It's like forcing the OTA early.

I'm sure this isn't something new, likely in the specs, but tinkering with my Ubiquiti airrouter helped me discover that the LG G2 won't connect if you set wireless to 40mHz. Has to be either 20/40, or 20 mHz wide channel. The G2 would see the airrouter, but trying to connect just wouldn't work at all while set to 40 mHz.

That's due to Ubiquiti, when in that mode it freaks out many 20mhz only devices.

Learn something new every day, thanks..I sure didn't know that. I set it to 40 the other day, haven't paid much attention until I kept getting complaints from family saying things wouldn't connect...so I went back and made the change.

I did get notice of a FW update today, but it obviously didn't fix the issue because even after the 5.5.8 FW none of my devices would connect, and changing to 20mhz solved it.

 

 

I'm in a new beta with a range extender..and I sat the beta range extender in the same spot as my Ubiq Loco M2...and I pick up more signal than the Ubi puts out...I was a little shocked to see that. I noticed with my G2 that even 200ft from the range extender, I still see the Asus_EXT network that it's broadcasting, and the G2 says it's "fair" signal..

Must be a decent radio in the G2 from all I've seen. I pick up wifi AP's that I know for sure are almost 1/5 of a mile from me.

So what does that exzactly mean by the source code is posted that lg has released the software to sprint? I sure hope so shouldnt be no reason why it shouldnt.

HTC has a great page showing a diagram of the update process. It helps explain why a Nexus (or an iPhone, if you think of it) gets updates immediately, but it takes months for a new Android version to make its way to provider-specific devices:

 

http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-software-updates/

 

The process for non-OS updates is similar. LG posting source code may or may not be a sign that a public update is imminent. Sprint has to test and certify it before that happens. I don't see why LG would publicly post code from an update that has not been certified yet (and therefore might not be released), but who knows.

Relax. It's not a letter of what's "right", it's a matter of not releasing an update until it is ready. I'm sure that Sprint and LG would have shipped the phone bug-free and Spark-ready from day one if they could have. You're talking about technology that hadn't ever been deployed on Sprint's network until a couple of months ago, and a large majority of the country still doesn't have access to it.

 

Go outside and enjoy the weather. If the G2 update is the biggest drama in your life, you're doing ok.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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?
