The only time I heard of substantial difference in signal strength from using a case, it was from one that used a metallic paint that simulated brushed metal. The cost you pay to look fancy, I guess.

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 am not a User, but I play one on TV.

The G2 OtterBox case fits great in the car. All I need now is the actual phone.

Just over 15 days and it will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

That does look like a good deal and you get to keep your upgrade.  Its like buying a Nexus 5.

I know that's a really good deal. I actually just emailed the ad to see if he would ship it to florida. Pay through paypal

So I just received my G2 today and I'm sad to report that it's lte reception is absolutely horrible. I currently reside in the Daytona Beach area. I am coming from an HTC One and was able to get perfectly useable signal in my house and around town with zero issues. This handset will not connect to 4g anywhere without toggling data, and even then struggles to maintain signal for more than a minute. I am hoping that they release an update to address the radio issues before launch. Besides the pathetic lte coverage, the phone is great.

 

In addition,I have not adjusted any of the band class settings. I also expected the same issue where I toggled data in a known lte area and received the "unable to establish a wireless data connection"error before the device switched back to 3g.

From what I've gathered, it sounds like there is an issue beyond LTE reception. It's getting kicked off the network. Even the notorious EVO LTE didn't have that issue.

I assume your mobile data networks setting is set to "CDMA/LTE" mode instead of "Global".  Also can you download the SignalCheck app and provide screenshots of the readings on the SignalCheck app as well as the "LTE Engineering" menu of dialer code ##DEBUG# (##33284#).

 

Also did you update your Profile and PRL?

Agreed.  Unless the case is metallic, I doubt a TPU case is going to dramatically affect your signal strength.

welllll....i wished i could have 1 as b41 is hot and live out here in Utah....

 

but i would need to be on the phone with someone to tell what buttons to push  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

 

I left my rep a VM asking her to pull strings so i can get one and check it out....

 

but i must say...this thread has me a bit worried... :unsure:  :unsure:  :unsure:

 

I wonder if more b41 over 25 (or 26, which is 1900 and which is 800??)   would work better for now???

Looks like this device may eventually support direct connect.

 

##DATA# > More >Direct Connect

 

Gives option for SDC Registation and LTE Specific Paramaters

 

Downloaded the SDC app but the current version is unsupported.

i noticed this as well, been so busy messing with lte i didnt mention it

Any update on your LTE connection?  Is it more stable now or is it fluctuating or dropping out?  I hope its stable enough that you can say that you have held onto LTE for several hours without issue.

 

It seems like every new person who gets the LG G2 is having some LTE authentication issues.  Trying to figure out what the common problem is.

The G2 has not yet been released. People are jumping the gun. Sprint must be punishing them for violating their NDA.

The Galaxy Note 3 has this option as well.

No response. Figured it was a long shit but worth a try.

Yeah, knock, knock, knock. Get the lead out. Would you hurry up and get off the pot?

      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.
