Is it normal for a B41 connection to show up as a B25 connection in Signal Check Pro and LTE Discovery? My LG3 is reporting a B25 connection from both of the above mentioned apps, but when I go into the engineering screen, it clearly says B41. If this isn't normal, I will take it up with the devs. Just curious if anybody else has seen this before.

It could be an actual Sprint band 41 site. I read on a different post that sprint band 41 sites are not communicating properly with signal check.

Is the best buy $50 gift card over? If it's not I'm going to get this over the s5

I'll have to ride by the site and see if I can spy any 8t8r equipment on the site. It is a co-located Clearwire/Sprint site if my location reporting is to be trusted. I'm about 500 yards from the site.

LTE doesn't broadcast location. But if you get greater than a -80dBm you can figure you are pretty close to the site.

Sprint B41 broadcasts the Sprint PLMN. Clear B41 broadcasts a different PLMN, which is how we were able to differentiate B41 in the past. With B41 on the Sprint PLMN, there's not a good way to identify it yet.

Not to derail this G3 topic, but the engineering screen is showing a PLMN for the site in question as 311870. This is Clearwire B41, correct? Thanks for the help.

 

I'm thinking this is a G3 reporting issue as LTE discovery and Signal Check Pro are both showing a PLMN of 310120 and the connection as B25.

Yeah that sounds like an issue with the G3 improperly reporting something. Make sure to send a bug report to Mike and/or LTE discovery so hopefully they can see what's the issue is.

Dave,

Is this why my G3 does not show coordinates any longer in Signal Check Pro?

Compared my g3 to a friends one m8,  he was getting -10 to -6 better signal  on LTE then i was :( we were about the same for 3g signal. My G3 grabs onto 3g for dear life, were i used to have 4g on my note 2 I get a real strong 3g signal.. I'm on band 26 as well, not to impressed with my download speeds compared to my note 2 I was getting 12-15mb download were i'm getting 3-5mb download same spot in my office at work.

Has anybody experienced any studdering and hesitation when moving from screen to screen or scrolling in apps like a browser or Tapatalk? It doesn't do it all if the time, but I have experienced it. Maybe I'm just use to iOS in this regard.

 

Edit: Tapatalk hesitates pretty badly when scrolling through forum posts. I don't have many apps running and have restarted the phone several times.

Similar situation here, but on B25.  I am not happy with my G3 at this point.  I guess I was spoiled by my Nexus 5.  Have you noticed your signal levels bouncing like crazy?  At home, where I look out the window and see the tower, I used to get B25 LTE @ -78 to -85 on my Nexus 5.  Now I get -89 to -101.  It is constantly bouncing high to low, low to high.  Perhaps it is jumping between sectors, but my Nexus 5 wouldn't do it as often.

 

I'm wondering if my G3 is defective :(

Yes, this happens to me regularly.

 

I like the G3 (and I'll probably keep mine), but I get the impression that the screen was a mistake. I really with they had just put a nice, bright, contrasty, clear 1080p display on it instead of the dark, dull, 2k display in there now.

When on a phone call, Is anyone hearing a dull noise or buzzing in the earpiece that stops when you start speaking?  It almost sounds like RF interference of some kind.  This happens on 1X and 1X800.

My G3 is a RF beast and never fluctuates the way you're describing unless I'm bouncing between towers, sectors or bands. Very solid performer. My speeds are also usually faster than our iPhone 5 and 5/c as is measured RF.

My G3 is *reporting* lower numbers than my Nexus 5 (in SignalCheck, the About page, etc).

 

But my G3 is actually getting faster data speeds, and holding on to service better, than my Nexus 5 is.

 

Not much better. But slightly better reception.

Which color did you all choose? I want the Shine Gold, but Amazon will not have it for 2 to 4 weeks compared to 2-day delivery on the Metallic Black.

Shine gold and it's awesome. Great looking device.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
