To clarify, 800 SMR rebanding in the Mexican border zone and the no 800 in the International Boundary Exclusion Zone are two different issues. Rebanding is complete along the Canadian border, but still 800 is not being deployed because of the IBEZ. The IBEZ will still be a problem along the Mexican border too after Rebanding completes in the Mexican Border BEA's.

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)     ...

Hey all, I just got my G2 and am having an issue. I am in a legacy market (hopefully being upgraded) and have noticed my phone is dropping ehrpd data connection with relative frequency. My evo 4g LTE dropped evdo from time to time but it seems more frequent on my g2. It only lasts for a couple of seconds but it seems to be happening much more frequently. In my house I'm between two towers so I figured that was it but it's happening even when there's only 1 tower I could reasonably be connected to. Voice never drops and stays consistent, it's just 3g data that seems to drop on occasion even with a very strong signal.

I have been getting that as well whenever I'm on 3G lately.  It seemed to me at least that it started around the time of the last OTA update.  Maybe the new baseband within the KitKat update will improve things...

I've recently been having a problem maybe you all could help me with.  Since the Spark update, LTE had been great.  However, now, my G2 doesn't want to stay on LTE.  It will almost always switch to 3G in known good LTE coverage.  The only way to fix it is to do a PRL update (I know ericdabbs mentioned that PRL has nothing to do with LTE, but this is what works).

 

After a PRL update, it will stay on LTE for a little bit of time (like 5 minutes), then it will automatically go back to 3G, even if I don't move the phone.  A PRL update will bring it back to LTE.  It goes back to 3G even in the middle of a download.  A PRL update fixes it everytime for a short while.

 

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but the Airave people had been troubleshooting my phone as it wouldn't connect to the Airave.  It wasn't until later that I discovered it won't connect unless I physically switch it from Global to CDMA, but I'm not sure if they did something on their end to screw it up.

 

Obviously, I don't want to have to do a PRL update everytime I want to receive data.  Any ideas?

I was having the same issue until I disabled band 41 and for some reason it has stablized.

Hm i hope so. It hasn't caused any significant issues yet but it is annoying. I kind of hoped it was because of upgrades in my area or something but as long as its not a hardware issue with my phone I'm alright. I just don't want to get a replacement phone.

After several days of no issues with the phone needlessly falling back to 3G, I enabled band 41 again. After serveral minutes the phone dropped to 3G. So I am not sure why band 41 is causing this but it does appear to be the culprit.

I wish I could randomly acquire a g2 so I could try out b41 in orlando and see how it works. One day.

Sold mine for 260. Would've loved avoiding PayPal and shipping cost. Hindsight 20/20 man.

Interesting... I just disabled b41 just because I know without a doubt I have no b41 in my market just yet. I also made sure to reset the priorities back to how I have them with b26 as 1 and b25 as 2.  I don't know what you had yours set to but just make sure that you reset them now that disabled b41 because they will have fallen back to b25 as 1 and b26 as 2 by default.

My priorities are set the same as yours. What's interesting is that I have had successful band 41 connections in the past but something has changed in the past month.

Ever since the Spark update my phone reception has been just bad... it was bad before, but it's much worse overall now :( my wife has a GS3 and sometimes she will be on LTE and mine won't see it. Other times I have full 3G signal, wife's GS3 has 1-2 bars, yet her speeds are much better. WTF.

 

I'm not even able to stream music from Google music because the speed is too slow, while her's works within seconds with us both in the car. I've done PRL updates and all that... is this just crappy LG radio or why on earth would my wife's phone be getting better speeds and sometimes LTE reception right next to me. Shouldn't this phone have all the same support and more in terms of frequency?

Hmm, I'm not sure what to say about that article. I read it and I understand it, but what I'm confused about is how the Spark update made my phone have even worse reception than before the Spark update. Like now 3G is even slower. Is that article basically saying that the Triband phones that are now spark enabled going to have worse reception in many places until more updates are done to the sites? I guess i am just most confused why 3G is so much worse now since I thought that was nothing new.

Would that explain my evdo data dropping for a few seconds every 10 min? My area is in progress on upgrades so there is no LTE or even NV equipment.

Wow in reading all the postings in regards to radio issues on a wonderful device as the LG G2 I can't but feel for you guys and really hope it gets resolved very soon! :phone:

 

I on the other hand have had the G2 since the holidays 2013 and really had had any major issues to report since I had it and after all the updates pushed out. I just can't feel what you guys must be going through but can only imagine.  :unsure: 

 

In any case I always initiate a factory rest when updates are pushed regardless of what type. I'm not rooted or flashed and I don't require an air ave. Totally stock and I've enjoyed it thus far. :sunny:

 

Good luck to you all! :tu:

That's what I'm starting to believe as well but in some of the posts it references issues after updates and such so that's why I was really feeling bad for them.

 

One thing that has to be considered is that the prl updates recently pushed out were designed to be money savers meaning that the radio will connect to the Sprint tower/antenna vs the best signal which may or may not be Sprint's tower.

 

Just a thought....

Mine didn't start right after the update. Just started within the last few weeks.

PRLs always prioritize Sprint native signals over roaming, they always have. The order of specific roaming partners may change as the roaming agreements do, and roaming partners may be added or removed as well. All phones will always prioritize native signals though and won't go down the list until that native signal is lost completely.

This article refers to those that have issues connecting to lte with tri-band devices compared to other devices that are not tri-band that can connect with no issues in the same area.  If you can't connect to 3g data or have poor rf peformance then there could possibly be other issues at hand.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
