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

I have a question. Somewhere on here recently this was posted:

 

 

" Not correct, it was accessible via dialer code 5689#*980#  "

 

What's the purpose for this and if tinkered with can it be undone. I was reading through the most recent comments and I dialed the code to see the selection. When I tapped on one of the categories it said the test are already done and I believe it asked if I wanted to run it again so I tapped yes. Well it was an interactive tasks so I was there tapping the pass button but got burned out rather quickly so I pulled the notification menu down then clicked down and held the power button until it restarted. The only reason I did that is because I couldn't find a way to leave the diagnostics, there was no option given.  :loco:

 

So here's the dilemma.  Knock On has been disabled. :confused:

 

Any help is greatly appreciated. :thx:

factory reset man

I was messing with that menu when I first got it, just because I like to mess with things, but I had to go back into the menu to change the values I did. Even after wipes, resets, and flashing different roms. Mine wouldn't Allow any 3g data at all. But I found out what i messed up and fixed it.

The main reason I used this menu was to put my phone in LTE only for testing with ecsfb issues. I won't be upgrading until someone says they have stock root with it.

Master reset my phone, check out the default priorities:

Try a profile/prl update to get them back to normal. I think it should be 25,26,41. But then again, those are only scans and have basically no effect at all on where the network will place you.

 

Weird. These are mine. I just went from rooted all the way back to ZVA and then worked my way up the chain to ZVC this morning.

I second those priorities.

UPDATE!!

 

In regards to the  " Not correct, it was accessible via dialer code 5689#*980#  "

 

I went back through the menu and back tracked then exit it properly but no change. I was going to HARD factory reset when it dawn on me to check settings just in case. Well I went through the laundry list of categories and found it under " GESTURES " , turn on/off Knock On.

 

Who would of thought that was an option. DUH :blink:

 

* Now back to your regularly scheduled program. :lol:

From what I'm reading, the best way to get this update and not implode my phone would be to hard reset/factory default it, get the ZVC update, and reinstall all my apps cleanly.

Just tot back to ZV7 and manually update to ZVA. It works just fine. 

 

 

I think you may have figured this out by now but no, if you are on ZVC you cannot get to it but every build (ZV7, ZV8, ZVA) until now has given access.  The Flex did not have access to the Hidden Menu so I kind of figured this would happen BUT hoping that just putting the HiddenMenu.apk into system on a rooted ZVC device may give access.  

 

I'll test this out myself once I update to ZVC again as I've done it a couple times and ran the tot to go back for testing some things. 

 

Well, using the old HiddenMenu.apk did not restore the actual options so it's going to take more digging to restore the options. I'll see what can be done about that but no promises we'll ever see LTE Only mode on our G2's again.  Lucky for me, my market is largely completed on the band25 side to eCSFB issues aren't a huge deal anymore.  :D

Ya don't say?  :tu:

 

I know that BUT on ZVC it does not include options for changing the System Select which is the main reason anyone would be poking around in there.  I was attempting to get that option back with some juggling of apk's in system but it didn't work.

Being in the market that I'm in I don't think I can do an update until the towers around me get the NV upgrade. Not being able to go data centric is a definite deal breaker. :wacko:

You can also get the update over WiFi.

Huh? I don't follow.  I think he was just saying since we can't do LTE Only, he won't update to ZVC since there is currently no way to do it on new software version.

im getting inpatient on this breakin period after this kk update with the battery. I dont want to do a factory reset cause it sucks getting the phone back to the way i had but I will if there is a good chance it will correct the issue.  I ahve lost roughly three to fours of battery life since update. What are your guys thoughts on this?

How can we prevent this updated from appearing?

 

Any ways to kill it if Sprint tries to force it?

 

Being in an emerging market with hidden b41, i am not willing to go backwards. Already did that by giving up wimax.

 

Now i will strongly consider this update once my market is officially launched with all lte bands fully open

why do you think the ZVC update is a step backwards?  It seems to have fixed a few things for the better.  LTE reception seems to be good.

It is a step backwards when i have to give up 45+ fast b41 sites in a emerging market where there is often no lte, all because of the removal of hidden menu features

Does your market have eCSFB issues?

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Trip · Posted

      T-Mobile already didn't do n41 at the more rural Shentel sites they picked up.  (They also didn't deploy it on some of the new-build sites they did during the merger build-a-palooza outside of the Shentel region.) I was actually thinking about this yesterday.  We'll have to see what commitments they make to the FCC when they file.  They may commit to providing n41--or at least, FWA--to x number of people, which could lead to a more significant n41 build-out than we would otherwise expect.  I remember being surprised by the amount of n41 they did in rural areas (like building n41 in Keysville, where I'm pretty sure the number of T-Mobile and Sprint customers approaches zero) when they were working on Sprint/Shentel's rural areas, and it had to do with FCC commitments.  - Trip

      Actually is another choice: vary the amount of mimo based on likely demand.

      Yep, there may be an exception, but basically keep all the blue USC sites on this map and broadcast both PLMN's for awhile until it all sorts out.  Use the spectrum to favor 5G as it will be more popular in the next year.  Maybe just equip lightly for LTE as it is all but going to disappear.  It is mostly rural, so maybe they might not want to do n-41 heavily at some sites.
