Hi everyone, I am looking to see what anyone's opinion is on the better LTE performers NOW are...? I would like to find a better performing LTE phone. I have the EVO now, I did do the update just released that you have to download and it improved in SLIGHTLY and yes the 4G signal bars do reflect the actual signal now instead of the old version. I do still have my EVO 3D but thats a backup (you never know if you need a standby).   I did try out the Lg Optimus G around June last year (2013) and I liked it, and If I recall reading around on here the RF performance was one of the better ones.  Recently I did check to see if Sprint offered it and come to find out (at least on Sprint.com its no longer there)  and checked with a couple of the stores around me and discontinued... Seems odd to me.  Its not like its an old model, I still consider it semi new (ish) heck most of the store still carry the Motorola Photon Q!  Is there something I missed?  Did that phone have a lot of issues or was it because the LG G2 took its place and was just overly popular?  

 

Anyways other then LG Optimus G, what other ones are good?  I only stick with Android  :)

Well I love my nexus 5, so far it seems to be the best rf performer. Plus its just all around a great phone. My sole complaint would be that the spark update hasn't arrived yet :P.

Anyone know why the Lg Optimus G is not still selling at Sprint.com or at most stores?  No one has answered that yet lol!

 

If you still want a mint condition LG Optimus G, I have one that I used for a week for RF testing last summer.  You can have it for a song.

 

And just FYI everyone, we do not want to host numerous phone for sale posts.  But as staff invests a lot of time and money for S4GRU research purposes, we get a little leeway in that regard.

      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.
