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

Had those errors shortly after some towers in our area showed as accepted on the S4GRU maps. Haven't had them after those couple days. There were some issues with the phone staying on 3G around then too, has cleared up since and connects to LTE nicely.

Thanks does anyone think kit kat will be out by tonight i hope it is

 

I would hope, but as each minute goes by the chances are probably fading.  From some research (a very small amount) it appears that Sprint typically announce OTAs by 11am eastern time on their forums, with a few exceptions though. 

 

If not today, then I would certainly expect, and hope, it to be on Monday.

I'm seeing this on my phone lately...anyone else? Or anyone know what this means? pu3ageda.jpg Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

 

If you're experiencing the 129 data connection error, try calling advanced tech support and have them rebuild/refresh your network settings and see if it fixes you. I'm baffled as to the why part.

 

In any case, I found a listing of all the Sprint error codes and what really catches my eye is the fact it says this:

 

Error Codes - RFC 2002 (129) 129 Administratively Prohibited Mobile should display "Unknown error. Sign in failed. Please try again. If the problem persists, turn your phone off then turn it on again."

 

Maybe wherever you were with your phone Sprint wasn't letting you use the net at that time.

I had this once. Any calls I made also were treated as if I was an unsubscribed prepay user. ##72786# fixed it up. Although I've been cautioned to avoid doing that more than once during a 3-4 hour window. I am the king of glitchy happenings unfortunately.

I get that error message whenever my phone picks up and drops from roaming and native in areas I don't quite have a good signal but just enough to keep kicking me out of roaming. There is a school here made of thick cement block that I get that message daily in.

I tend to believe they'll post the ZVC update on their web page on Tuesday, leave it up for 3 or 4 hours and then change the update page to "April Fools!"

Provisioning is usually completed within a few seconds when a refresh is sent from the network. However, a 72786 does not change anything network-side. It only has the phone delete the programming, then restart. When it restarts it determines it is not programmed and goes through the Hands-Free Activation process again. After HFA it usually restarts again, then performs another profile update.

 

A network-side refresh would require calling in to perform, or doing something that automatically triggers a refresh like an ESN/MEID swap.

ok, so some of the issues that some of you have mentioned I have had the same problems and most of them I just deal with for now.

The phone works great besides the hiccups we all have experienced basically since the spark update.

I love this phone but I am almost wondering if the N5 is a better phone all around besides the better rf. Are most of you confident that KK update will fix these issues? If you are not are you willing to stick with this phone or wait for G3 or go to  N5? I really dont want to switch phones so I just wish we can get some clarity on really what KK will bring to the problems with this phone. So can any one of you honestly say you want to stick around and wait for this update or willing to jump phones? 

Thanks. Just looking for opinions and remember I LOVE THIS PHONE.

I haven't had any major issues with the G2 so I'm sold on it. The N5 is a great device for a pure Google experience but the G2 overall exceeds everything else the N5 has to offer. The main strengths the G2 has over the N5 is battery and camera everything else it's on par.

 

Any and all issues I've had with the G2 like hangouts & voice mail I simple were easy fix and switching between 4G and 3G at random at any given time is seldom but it does happen and that's a network issue within certain markets and again that was an easy fix for me.

 

About the only thing I ALWAYS do is perform a factory reset after each software/firmware update to the device no matter what it is and it's worked out great.

I'm sort of on the fence with switching phones as well.  I love this phone, but the RF performance is shaky at times for me, and I live on the edge of Sprint native service.  Also, I keep having issues with 3G completely cutting out whenever it wants even at healthy signal levels. 

 

I am definitely gonna give the KitKat update a chance though.  It appears as though it comes with a new baseband, so maybe it will solve some of my issues.  Otherwise I have been looking at the N5 or M8, if needed.  Probably N5 since it would be a lot less $ and has the superior RF performance.

What issues do you speak of? The only issue I have is A2DP which has been an Android problem for maybe a couple years. 

 

I dig this phone. On stock I leave it in data centric, grab B41 or B25 LTE wherever it's at, stream music, surf, whatever. If somebody calls me it's no different than what my service has been on my S3 in our Motorola market, it doesn't ring. I've gotten used to it, my family and friends have too, we just text on Google voice. My only complaint is about the battery life and I'm very certain that KK will address that nicely.

 

After spending the last 10 days on Liquidsmooth ROM, KK will be a great addition for this phone. The only thing bringing me back from LS is the reboots are happening a lot.

thanks for your input. Im pretty much sold on the G2 but the RF on N5 seems to be better after reading comparison test. But I wont make a judgement call untill  my area is all lit up with lte.

Im with you. Most of the problems others have stated on here. Mine are not has bad to where it bugs me enough to jump phones. Just that before spark update phone didnt have any kind of issue. Like I said this phone still kicks butt. The rf is an issue but again my area is not completed so Im not going fully blame phone yet. Cant wait for kk. Thanks for your input

You would be disappointed if you got N5 after having G2.... I know I was when I got for the wife. Kept it for 2 days and it was a wrap! Took back and got her a G2 and she loves it. I of course used the N5 for a bit to make sure and it was blah compared to G2, as it should be.

 

My go to explanation of the N5 vs G2 question is comparing them to the CJ4 Jeep and a Wrangler Sport Unlimited. It all started/starts with the CJ series, the Sport Unlimited wouldn't exist without it. The Unlimited does everything the CJ4 does (in theory of course) but with style, grace and many creature comforts that make it more suitable (and enjoyable) for daily use by most owners.

      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.
