I just got updated to ZVE and went into ##DATA# and noticed that the BSRTimer was still at 3000.  I thought it was supposed to update that?

Same here just updated to ZVE about 7 hrs ago or so and mine still at 3000 as well.

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

If you guys know your msl go in there and change. If you don't know it call Sprint and get it.

After updating my phone to ZVE, my BSRTimer was as 1 (in the view mode).  BUT I don't have my MSL, so I don't know what it actually is....

I think the general consensus a few pages back was to change it to 3.

weird i went to go change it and it was 3 but was still showing 3000 for some reason. but its showing correctly now after that.

Mine was the same when I updated to ZVD. So you should be good now.

Yeah, I've rooted it and flashed a few Roms already. Every ROM so far has GPS working. (Stock ZVD, AICP, SlimROM, and Liquidsmooth.)

Received my G2 back from LG yesterday. They said they found no problem with the GPS. Hmmmmm. It started working again right before I sent it in. It'll probably fail again after a few weeks of use like it always does. Since they put a new board and new screen in last time, it's probably the connectors on the back cover for the GPS antenna. What a poor design!

Did the ZVE update help with GPS locks and the consistency?

 

I ultimately gave up on the LG G2, begrudgingly. I had bought the Verizon variant (VS980) on sale back when Big Red first unveiled their new prepaid plan. I really, really, really liked the LG G2, but GPS locks were taking 1-2 minutes sometimes. That's a deal breaker in DC and Baltimore. You can't pullover on the shoulder to wait on a GPS fix because the driver's here are lunatics lol. So, I asked to make a return well after their 14-day return policy and they refunded me my money. Granted, I was still in my 60 day window which I could dispute the transaction on my credit card.

 

Anyways, I'm glad to see better results on the Sprint variant.

The last time I sent the G2 in for repair, LG said they found no problem.  I know there is a hardware related problem, as I factory reset the phone and installed nothing and still had the GPS issue. 

 

To answer your question.  I don't know if ZVE did anything.  My G2 is still in the box that LG shipped it back to me in.  I loved the G2, but gave up on it.

 

I am using a G3 now that has a fantastic GPS.  Tried to get a Nexus 6 today, but they sold out.

Works good for me on stock ZVE. Ever since the repair took place I've had consistent GPS. Only other time I had issue was on custom ROMs.

 

Sent from my LG-LS980

That's basically the same as what happened with me. They poorly designed the LG G2 in that regard.

 

I've heard good things about the LG G3 GPS performance on other forums too. In addition, my Nexus 5 also had GPS issues, but after sending it back to Google for RMA, I got a replacement back that works right. So, maybe it was a growing pain at LG?

 

I'm planning on keeping my Nexus 5 since the GPS actually works. I'll hold out on the Nexus 6 until it comes down in price. I'm done with buying new phones for a while lol.

I definitely don't blame you for holding off on buying new phones.  Unfortunately the consumers are the new "Beta Testers".  The manufacturers slop this stuff out on the market faster than they bother to test it.  The consumers report the issues, and if we are lucky, the manufacturer may fix it. 

 

I can't believe that LG could not duplicate the GPS issue with my particular unit on its second repair trip to Texas.  The first repair, they replaced a board and the screen (which I didn't even think had an issue). 

 

It was a real shame with the G2.  It was the perfect size for me.  Eventually, LG got it sounding pretty good as well with all the updates, but without the GPS it is a no go for me! 

 

I guess, I'll use it for a trade-in sometime soon, or sell it on ebay fully disclosing the issue with it.

It's weird, I've read a lot about people with GPS issues but I've never had the problem with mine. I use GPS quite a bit and always seem to get very quick results, equal to my S3.

I do remember the horrible GPS on the Epic 4g, and I honestly thought those days were behind us.

I haven't updated to ZVE firmware yet.  Are there improvements on LTE connectivity and worth updating to?

 

Hard to tell in a mature market. I will say that a certain stretch of a road I travel I can maintain the signal where I normally lose it. But I wouldn't go off of that if I were you.

I changed it from 3000 to 3, maybe I should have waited more than a few hours after I got the ZVE update.  I had no problem getting my MSL, I just explained that I needed the number to change the BSR so my LTE would work better and I needed the MSL to do that.

I have had LTE in one of my classes ever since the update. Before that I only got it near the windows, it's nearly an 8dbm difference. And yes, it is and always has been B26.

 

Also, long time no see!

Ever since the ZVE update, I've noticed that I haven't had as much of problem with he microphone not working and requiring toggle of the Voice enhancement function. Hopefully the issue is resolved.

Nevermind...spoke too soon....it happened again....this is a bug that LG needs to fix..... Ridiculous! Instills no confidence in their products.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
