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

Don't most major updates happen on Friday anyway?

Yes and no..

They happen pretty much anytime. Sprint S4 KitKat update was on Wednesday Feb 13th. I remember my uncle asking me why that popped up on his phone. The AT&T LG G2 was on a Sunday I believe. Sprint HTC One 4.3 update was on a Wednesday as well 10/2/2013.

Was browsing the Sprints website LG G2 forum and one guy posted the update is coming March 3. Don't know how reliable that info is just wanted to pass it along.

Only if you are in France:

Never know we might get it the 3rd but I kinda don't think so. Hopefully it's sooner than later.

Haven't the other 2 updates (ZV8 and ZVA) been within the first week of the month? Atleast, the first few people got it then.

Since this is my first android, when a new operating system becomes available, does it upgrade your phone, or wipe it completely clean? Will I lose everything when upgrading?

 

An update to the OS will just upgrade the OS. Your data and apps should remain untouched.

Looks like tmobiles G2 is pushing out KitKat Via LG Mobile Software Tool. ( See link ) This can only mean Sprints Kit Kat update is not too far since it's common knowledge verizon takes forever to push out updates......

 

 

I've tried to use that software but it doesn't recognize the device and the drop down menu doesn't include Sprints model to update drivers. There's seems to be no software from LG for Sprints G2 model. I miss that since I used Samsung kias to updated my previous S2 device and it worked wonders.

The firmware is NOT being pushed out via LG's Software Tool.  The links given are from the LG server to download the .kdz firmware files.  You need to use the LG's Software Flash Tool to flash the firmware.  The firmware is still not yet available for OTA update for Tmobile customers but rather prepping the servers to host the OTA update.

I understand how the process works.  I am just saying it is NOT the LG Support tool that is pushing out the update.  It is just someone who found the link to the LG servers for the Tmobile version.  You still have to use the LG Flash tool to flash the firmware update.   That article is based on this XDA thread:

Verizon actually did push an update before the other carriers. I just forgot which phone it was for. Shocked the heck out of me that it was an OTA update too. Been generally speaking, yeah Verizon is a lot like that old at&t commercial where that one person always received the funny message after everyone else is already done laughing at it....

Sprint S4 just got the update too. This is a good sign for us, I think. :)

 

 

Sprint has been good so far on pushing the update on Kit Kat: HTC One, Samsung Note 3, S4 before the other carriers. The G2 should becoming around the corner I'm really surprised AT&T along with tmobile has release theirs ahead of time. :o

 

In any case really looking forward to it. I've read from other G2 owners it actually made it a faster smoother performance than it already is, lol :w00t: . Overall they really liked it and now having 4k video recording is a bonus and the Knock on feature has improved. Plus other enhancements..... :banana:

Just got a random prl update 55018 now, anyone heard anything about it?

That's a new one, I currently have 55017 so I'll push a manual PRL and see what happens. Unfortunately I'll need to reset the priority bands again since it'll default them back to Priority 1 all across vs having now at band 41 - 1, 26 - 2, 25 - 3

I don't know about yours since I'm not there to see it however it has done it in the past every time I force push a prl/profile update.

 

priority 1 for band 41, 2 for band 26 and 3 for band 25 all get defaulted to priority 1 which changes the radio bands of that order.

      https://www.lightreading.com/6g/5g-advanced-arrives-with-3gpp-s-release-18 Wonder how long until T-Mobile moves on this? My guess is some by the Galaxy S25 in January or February.

      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.
