Do anything special?

[marioc21]

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. 

[Maverick]

Not everybody. Mine still just says "no firmware update available". 

It's an LG SOFTWARE UPDATE not firmware.....  

[marioc21]

Either way, no dice. Oh well. No big deal really.

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

I set band 41 to first priority by the site and it connected right away.

Band 25 = 0

Band 26 = 0

Band 41 = 1

But how is that done, what are the step by step........

Got my update. So far, I'm withholding judgment. Attached are my before/afters . . . before

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.

[gabbitas]

Compared to my afters . . .

 

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#

Sorry, meant to edit that. You already answered in a previous post. Thx.

Before you try this you need to get your MSL number.  You can get your MSL number in various ways.  Assuming 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

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

7. Select "LTE" and press "View"

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

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.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

 

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.

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
