Anyone that takes the update, if you know how, I'd take a system dump. :)

 

I'll head back to the dungeon to put the finishing touches on SuperG2 as Sprint has forced our hand again. Damn you Sprint!! Lol [emoji13]

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

Can you do a dump with a un-rooted phone?

Let us know if Wifi calling made it....hopefully they just missed it on the description page and it was included in the update.

Yes, but you'll need ADB tools to pull it, which, if you are adventurous and do not have them, I can get you setup with them.

I've messed with ADB before and I think I still have it. I just need help for someone to walk me through it. And correct me if I'm wrong. You should not do a install for us to be able to get the dump. If that is the case I'll make sure to advise the other 2 member of the family not to install it, if they get the notification. (That's if you don't get the dump by then)

Need it fully installed, that's ok.

 

Let's take this to PM

 

EDIT: I grabbed the system dump from a device I ended up having to work on tonight, thanks for stepping up to assist though!

That's the point of Wi-Fi calling. You no longer need the mobile radios. Why is that causing an issue?

Coming off WiFi it would not turn the mobile radio back on

That sounds like it might be an issue with your device. I have no issues moving off of Wi-Fi and back onto the network with Wi-Fi calling enabled.

Per my completely unscientific comparison, battery life does seems to be slightly better, but I will watch for a few days to confirm.

Knock Code seems to be working only half the time, but I think it's more a matter of training my fingers to get the timing and pressure right. Does seem to need more deliberate gestures than the quick double tap that worked with Knock On.

Also good to see that the fake Bluetooth 5% entry on the battery usage screen in gone.

 

Has anyone seen any improvement on GPS performance? Was inaccurate and slow to lock on, making it mostly useless in ZVC.

Your phone would have to be pulling 1,000mah to pull that off. I don't think the hardware in the G2 is even capable of using that amount of power at a time. Even with the screen brightness at maximum, the camera open and actively recording, and the gPU being utilized to accelerate for a game. The only way I could see this happening is running something like a graphically intensive game that uses the camera in an augmented reality situation with a large amount of overlays that integrate with the environment, not even Ingress works like that.

or you can be running several signal detection apps, restarting the radio frequently, and using navigation - - but then you should have a 2.1 amp or better car charger

The largest pull I've ever been able to get coming from my G2 with that type of usage is 700mah. GPS definitely uses a ton since it's an active connection for GPS, Data, and the screen on. In addition, the heat generated by all of that reduces battery performance artificially "inflating" the battery usage.

 

It's probably possible, but extremely unlikely. It is much more likely that the original poster was hyperbolizing his battery life, or he is leaving out a LOT of relevant information about how he's actually using the phone when he gets this "3 hour battery life". There's also the possibility that they have managed to somehow degrade their battery through poor usage/charging cycles and the battery is beginning to fail prematurely.

 

None of these are normal, caused by a specific software load, or in any way the fault of the device design itself or a specific software update.

Dear halcyoncmdr and mrrogers1

 

Well its been getting three hours since sprints zva update battery life is not the only problem with my G2, my touchscreen is going out like an inch from the top of the phone. Also it gets very hot sometimes yes I know that's sometimes normal, but all I use it for is minecraft , Facebook, calling, texting, YouTube and music. Lg told me to send the phone in they would fix it for free but the problem is I have no other device that can run on sprints service I have to have my phone. So yeah it doesn't really get used that hard but that being said I run it at full brightness and I'm on it most of the day. So idk maybe its just a faulty G2. BTW zvd didn't help it. :(

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not but..... I'm gonna bite, please get insurance on your phone, take to Sprint and have exchanged (for screen going dead). Then, when you get it back TURN the brightness down, then maybe not play games, listen to music and text for 3hr straight to the point of burning the phone up.

 

Put down the phone, go outside, get some fresh air homie. [emoji4]

Actually that is why my phone gets used so much, I walk all day and listen to I heart radio and Spotify while I walk and the nearest so called true sprint store is over 40 miles away, the one here in Greenville is just a retailer they say they don't do things like fix things wrong, take the device back, etc. But thanks for the advice I will try it today on low brightness and not play music.

      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.
