You can either install SignalCheck or type *#*#33824#*#* in the dialer and go to LTE Engineering.

I had a Sprint product development employee reach out to me this morning after reading this thread. His message says:   Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

If you don't see any specific band information (Sprint B26 or Sprint B41), you're still on Sprint B25. Check the debug menu just to be sure though!

If you don't see a particular band 9 times out of 10 you are on B25. If your provider is showing Sprint (310120) it is B25. If provider is showing Sprint B26 (310120) it is B26. B41 should say Sprint B41 (311490). Hope that made sense to you.

Still no VoiceMail indicator.  I just left myself a message to test.  I thought that was one of the fixes!?  I have updated my Profile and tested a second time and still no indicator.  What a dissapointment.

well, my experience so far is bleh, my 1 m8 pulls b41 from home and work and a ton of places around stl, where as this new update has failed to show any b41 so far.

 

I guess I will see what I pull on the way to, and at work tomorrow.

what is the dialer code to force the phone to reinitiate hands free activation or does the update profile toggle do the same thing?

*#*#72786#*#*

 

Not the same as a profile update. Worth trying if you aren't seeing any non band 25 LTE.

Man, this update is awesome! It went away, but for a second there the field test said I was connected to LTE "Band 51", which as we all know totally exists.

No idea.  Try rebooting and try again.  It works for me (tried a couple times).

My initial impressions aren't very good with this modem.  B25 is much worse.  Probably a few dBm worse than the .23 radio - maybe more.

 

B26 is also worse than the .15 radio.  Completely losing LTE in areas I used to have a very usable signal. 

 

I read a few forums where some users were getting much better reception off this update...  Looks like Sprint got the shaft again.  I will probably give the modem a couple days, but I think I will end up going back to the .15 radio since there isn't any B41 around here.  Oh well... 

 

Edit - Also when comparing to my G2, this modem puts the N5 behind the G2...  One of the biggest reasons I bought a N5 was for the LTE connectivity.  Again, thankfully we can still go back to older modems.  I just wish we had a Spark ready modem at least close to the .15 modem's performance.

I'm on b26 with the new radio. The radio enables all the sprint bands.

Yeah I just stepped out and got B41.  55 Mbps down.  Not too bad.

I used to access the LTE engineering screen with the nexus 5 field test app, but it doesn't seem to be working after the update... Can anyone else verify?

I just realized I get amazing voice signal from the Verizon tower or Verizon das in my building before it never connected. Always connected to metro pcs if anything or a weak sprint signal.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
