Wow. Signal bars, the spinning icon and lte all in one status bar. No thanks. Anyone know if there's a way to cut that down?

 

Not sure why the spinning icon is such a big deal.  You can always try to edit the LGSystemUI.apk file and replace the spinning icon with something else.  I think its just silly to worry about that.  But have it if it bothers you that much.

I only have the spinning 3g...pretty clean for now

It's 3 icons for one data connection. It would just be nice to cut it down and eliminate one of them.

I'm going to see if I can port over the Status bar from ZV8 when I update my ROM. Seems like the Spark icon has got to go.

Signal bars, spark icon and signal type. 3 icons. I prefer minimalistic if at all possible.

 

HA...but signal bars always existed though.  Ehh...i guess to each their own.  You mind as well not even have the clock on there and keep nothing at the top. Not really sure what the difference is between the Spark icon, LTE and signal bars vs. 4G icon, data arrows and signal bars.  The data arrows were its own icon in the ZV7 and ZV8 firmware if you didn't know that.

FYI EVERYONE :) 

 

I just did a manual push on systems update via LG Software Update and like magic the LS980ZVA update appeared.  :o 

 

TOTALLY UNEXPECTED and BTW I don't live in a Spark area and the closet Spark network is half an hours drive.  :rolleyes: 

 

Doesn't hurt to try pushing manually.  :fingers: 

 

Good Luck!  :wavey:

Yeah I know but the tower i was connected to is the college tower which is most used tower in Ocala. So to see that at night is rare. I can tell you I never broke 4 mbps on uplink before this update.

Taken at 10:30pm? Not exactly peak time in Ocala.

Okay. So instead of having just lte we now have the spark icon as well. I thought it would be smaller or the lte writing would be smaller.

Good thing I don't use my g2 for much anymore. Lol.

Well if this is the main reason you don't use the G2 then I don't know what to say..LOL.  I guess the Nexus 5 is better suited for you.

I am sorry for asking, but I have installed signal checker and I was wondering how I can tell which band I am connected to.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • 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.
