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

May be the issue... Someone just posted above you that it is called LG software update, not firmware update...

 

No dice. Just tried to update LG software and it also says no updates available. Oh well. The wait goes on.

After installing the update, the other two bands were initially disabled on my phone.  I did a PRL followed by profile update, checked again, and all 3 bands were enabled.  No reboot required.

 

Priorities are:

Band 25: 1

Band 26: 2

Band 41: 3

 

ok...digging ive found some of these screens...Band 26 Enabled and Band 41 Enabled, BSR timer = 3.  Priority - Band 25 = 1 Band 26 = 2 and Band 41 = 3

 

Me too.  I am just restarting again and still 

Band 25: 1

Band: 26: 2

Band: 41: 3

 

In order to get 41>25>26, you have to edit the Band priorities to be 

Band 25 = 0

Band 26 = 0

Band 41 = 1

 

After you make those changes and do a restart, your Band priority is 41>25>26

Before you try this you need to get your MSL number.  You can get your MSL number by typing the following dialer code  ##443336772#. Now that you have your MSL number do the following:

 

1.  On the phone dialer, type ##DATA# (##3282#)

2. Select "LTE" and press "Edit"

3.  Enter your 6 digit MSL number.

4.  Change the following Band Priorities to the following

Band 25 = 0

Band 26 = 0

Band 41 = 1

5. Once you back out of the menu, the phone will automatically reboot.

6. On the phone dialer, type ##DATA# (##3282#)

7. Select "LTE" and press "View"

8. Select "Band Priority" and verify the band priorities are set to 41>25>26.

Compared to my afters . . .

genejyzu.jpgu5e5ybun.jpg

 

notice that the signal strength is a little lower, as well. As for the speed tests, I did 3 tests before the upgrade and 4 after and they were all nearly identical (13-14 down before, 5-6 down after). I'm a little concerned. I'm sitting in my car in a parking lot, so I haven't moved.

 

Before the upgrade (and before my "before" speed tests) I disabled B26 and B41, primarily to see if the upgrade would enable them. After the upgrade both bands were still disabled, so I updated my profile and rebooted. At that point, all three bands were enabled with priority going 25->26->41. I did "after" speed tests both before and after the profile update with no change in results.

Funny how everyone is getting it today. I'm guessing it was a problem with the mechanism they use to push out the update.

 

No, that's not possible. You were just being impatient. The update has been rolling steady since 1/27 but the past 5 days it was just going to people who never use the internet. Only last night did it cycle back to people who post on online forums. ;)

I presume one needs the MSL code to edit band priorities?

 

Yes sir!! You can get your MSL by typing the following dialer code  ##443336772#

Thanks, thanks very much...

 

And I remember someone posting on here on how to get the MSL, sorta the same steps shown here so I'll just fumble through that.

 

Again thank you.  :tu:

Just one more thing for my fellow idiots, you also have to Enable bands 41 and 26. It took me two times to realize they were disabled.  :blush:

If you took the Spark update you don't have to manually enable Bands 41 and 26.  what you need to do is reboot the phone again first.  If you do not have the Spark update this will not work.

Anyone have steps on how to switch to LTE only mode? I tried looking under ##3282# but can't find it and my google fu is poor.

1. 5689#*980#

2. IOT(CDG2)

3. System Selection

4. Network Mode

5. LTE only

 

you probably shouldn't mess with anything else in that menu though

      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....
