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)     ...

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

      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.
