I just use my pointer finger to hold down both at the same time. It doesn't get much easier than that imo.

Each to there own I guess, I've gotten use to the quick memo method, with my case I always mess up the power and volume method with one finger.

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)     ...

Another way to screenshot is to hold home then while holding slide up and to the right and when on the quick memo release finger then save at top right for screen. Much easier that power and volume.

Nice thing is you can do it this way with 1 finger. Much easier imo

Yeah, were hoping to get 800 LTE (band 26) like our iPhone 5 brethen.  Found any yet?

Unfortunately the 5 does not get b26. However, I found b26 worth getting the 5s so I sold my 5 simply for that reason.

 

 

And no, as far as I know there are no 800 LTE sites in Orlando yet :(. Sure hope it gets here in the next few months. That b41 though with those speeds is going to be a fun competitor with the duopoly. Only thing is not many phones run Triband, so I think sprint might have to push a upgrade your phone promotion for hardly any money at all and get on our new triband network promotion... At least for areas that are spark ready.

My bad on the typo.  5s is what has found it so far.  My understanding is 5c is theoretically possible. 

 

Yes they are pushing the G2 for $0.00, although the same for the 5c and galaxy s4 mini (triband).

Here's a new set of screenshots... attachicon.gifuploadfromtaptalk1390879397632.jpgattachicon.gifuploadfromtaptalk1390879416387.jpgattachicon.gifuploadfromtaptalk1390879431682.jpg

Thanks for that.  I was wondering, can you tell us or maybe even grab a screen shot of the different conditions that change the data icon? I can see that when you are on band 41 that it's the star and I believe it's spinning, right? Is it that star when you are connected to regular band 25 LTE as well? Also, on 3G, I swear I saw a screen shot of a 3 inside of what looked like a "spark" ring.  

 

Just trying to get a good idea of how that hideous icon is going to work and pray that we can revert to our old icons within the custom rom user space.  

 

Thanks!

The icon for LTE is the spinning Walmart (I kinda like calling it that...) and the 3G icon also spins but not as distracting as the Spark. (It's a bit more subtle but still annoying).

It's just new versions of the LTE and 3G icons that were previously on the phone. The icon does not indicate LTE band; it's the same one for any LTE connections.

Did anyone get the update OTA?

 

Yes. Read back in the thread, several people got it OTA.

 

Polite request to all: You don't need to share with us that you don't have the update yet. Those posts just fill up the thread and generate more questions from people who don't want to dig through all the "me too" posts.

Oh good, another icon to further clutter up the bar up top.

 

I'm actually most interested in Tap and Pay with Google Wallet.  Does anyone happen to know if/when support for that will be baked in to the G2 (or if there's some what to hack it in via root or some such)?  I got rather spoiled with my SG3 and the looks people would give me like I was some kind of wizard for tapping my phone on the credit card pad to pay for things.

Hmm.. I hope there's a chance you dropped the B41 connection between the engineering screenshot and the SignalCheck one, because SignalCheck is showing the wrong MCC-MNC. The S4T has this problem; it always reports the "home" ID, not the currently connected one.

 

I would like to ask a favor of the G2 users out there with the Spark update who are connecting to band 41 and use SignalCheck: Could you let me know if the LTE MCC-MNC is showing correctly in the app (should be 311490 or 311870 -- not 310120)? If not, can you hit About > Send Diagnostics next time you think you are on band 41? Just note that's why you're sending it in the comments.

 

EDIT: Thanks to lilotimz, I see what is going on behind the scenes prior to the Spark update; I'd still like confirmation from someone using the newer 2.0.20018 baseband from the latest update as well.

 

Thanks,

-Mike

Verified. Engineering shows 311-490 & signalcheck shows 310-120.

Where is the spark icon in those screenshots?

 

Vince

 

Hasn't gotten the update yet.

 

I thought the idea was that those with the Spark update post screenshots to show that it was displaying the correct LTE MCC-MNC on SignalCheck.

Got your report, thanks! I see what is going on behind the scenes; the G2's radio is reporting the wrong MCC-MNC to the Android function that is supposed to show it, but the correct MCC-MNC is appearing in another area, so I should be able to fix it in a future SignalCheck update.

Actually, that's a great point, good eye. I didn't realize that Tim's G2 was on the older baseband until I went back and looked at the report he sent me. If someone could send a report while on band 41 after taking the Spark update, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

      T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach

      Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

      Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
