amcferrin90 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 We of course will never get 4.4.3. But, there are some interesting "fixes" that are rumored for 4.4.3 3) Random Reboots.....Someone on here downloaded an unofficial 4.4.2 and if I remember correctly he stated it is a welcome update other than random reboots. I hope this is not a real strong issue with 4.4.2 The other "fixes" do not jump out at me but check out the link. The random reboots I'm told are because of using an unofficial kernel with the AOSP 4.4.2. It is expected to not be a problem once the official kernel is released. The furnace and dr87 kernels are expected to incorporate the 4.4.2 kernel to resolve this. I'm looking forward to 4.4.2 just for the power management. The ROM I was on was crazy, power management stats showed using only 2/4 cores and spending most of CPU time asleep or at 300 MHz. Very little time was needed running at full speed. The crazy part was this was so un-noticeable. As for LTE, Spark & eCSFB: The only way you'll connect to any LTE while voice centric (VC) is if the same site has NV PCS. If this is not the case you will not connect to LTE because voice takes priority. But when you go data centric (DC) you will get LTE based on your priority because you've made data your priority over voice. If your phone is on a LTE site that does not have NV voice, your phone will not get the notification to switch to voice channel and pick-up the call and the call goes to voice mail. This is the future for now. Tri-band phone with a single radio. This is exactly how my phone has worked for 12+ months, incoming calls were blocked a good portion of the time going to voice mail. Happened after the eHRPD rollouts in our area. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twospirits Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Holy cow, just realized this is 215 pages long. While I try to read all the threads in. he forum and this is one I've kept up with since the beginning, I didn't own the phone until recently. (The phone is actually for the spouse) still I feel the phone isn't getting as good signal as my Mega. Therefore I started to read the thread again and I passed out after page 22. Therefore, can someone kindly repost the order of the LTE bands. I read different set of orders such as B41, B26 , B25 and then B25, B26, B41 so i am not to sure what the order is supposed to be. I did ##DATA# , LTE, Edit and have my MSL and it shows.. LTE Enabled/Disabled is enabled Band26 Enabled/Disabled is Enabled Band41Enabled/Disabled is Enabled Band 25, 26, 41 Proirity is 1 BSRTimer is 3 Is this correct, or does one have to have a higher priority than another?

jamisonshaw125 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Band priorities mean literally nothing other than the first scan after coming out of airplane mode or prl reset or something of the sort.

blakebaa Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Just a reminder, be sure if you did stuff such as get the hotspot, or changed other files, to put them back to the stock files. Don't want people going into a boot loop after they get the update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexgencpu Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Sweet speed performance, is that LTE or SPARK?! Anything over 37.5/mb sec(band 25 is limited to that maximum) is going to be band 41 "spark" Also, just to be clear, "spark" is LTE, its just sitting on a different band that has a lot more spectrum available 5x5 FDD(band 25) vs 20Mhz TDD(band 41) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I differentiate regular lte from lte on steroids by simply asking it in that manner. I'm sitting on band 25 in my market area and never goes past 35Mpbs dn or 10Mpbs up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranziq Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 when parsing the LG update site, I get : <response req_cmd="cs_auth_model_check" status="OK"> <cs_auth_model_check> <result>OK</result> <esn>xxxxxxxxx6631</esn> <model>LGLS980</model> <suffix>ASPRBK</suffix> <msn>xxxxxxx321078</msn> <esn_date>20131217</esn_date> <sw_version>LS980ZVC_12_7</sw_version> <sw_url> http://dl02.gdms.lge.com:5006/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=PS47236201/LS980ZVC_12.zip </sw_url> So it looks like Sprints website is wrong on what version we are going to get. LG still doesnt have the download ready yet as when you do the URL it shows "not found" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dave Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I am excited to get Kit Kat, although I kind of like the blue status bar icons so I will have to get used to going back to white again. I can't wait to try the ART compiler and see how much performance and battery life improves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amcferrin90 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Band priorities mean literally nothing other than the first scan after coming out of airplane mode or prl reset or something of the sort. The network ultimately determines what band you will be on. Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk This is true on an "open" network. Experienced this yesterday. In Columbus, some B41 sites are put to "open" or "public" view for a period of time then closed up. I even went as far as disabling B41 and because the site near me was open I was sent to that B41 site instead of a more stronger, closer B25 site even going as far as making B25 my only priority. B41 is not officially launched here but is active on I think 45 sites. And with that, I have to stop speaking of B41 fun now before I get into trouble since it's not the Premier side.

Tranziq Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 ZVB for LG is the internal testing version, but for Sprint ZVB is the next release in their cycle to keep it consistent. So basically, this is LG's ZVC renamed to ZVB. at least that is what I am being told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latoso Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The issues with calls being directed to voicemail only happens to spark phones in my house.
