Anyone notice no 1440p on YouTube quality options? I was sitting outside with this great weather so far watching videos and wanted to cranking up but couldn't. I am on lte so that shouldn't be a problem, and I have went to a few videos I know that were able the play in 1440p before.

Band 25 is Sprint's initial LTE band that is has been deploying since summer 2012. It is the most widespread at the moment.   Band 26 is low spectrum LTE that provides better in-building coverage an

I've had my new G3 a little over a week now and love it for the most part.  The screen is great and it takes way better pictures and video than my old S3, which looked great when I first bought it compared to my old HTC Hero  :-).  

 

I have had a couple of issues, one of which is quite annoying.  My phone has been freezing up at least 2 times a day.  It seems to happen mostly when the messaging app is open, the phone goes to sleep, then I unlock the screen.  I have to take the battery out to get my phone back.  I've had ART enabled almost since I got it so I'm wondering if that's the issue.  Just switched back to Dalvik to see if the problem goes away now.

 

Another thing I dislike is the on-screen keyboard has a settings key right next to the space key.  If you hold the settings key down it will pop up and let you pick the microphone for speech to text.  I'd rather have the microphone be the main key and the others be on the popup since I hardly ever change settings but want to use text to speech almost every time I type.

 

Has anyone else had crash/freeze issues with their G3 and, if so, were you on ART as well?

 

Also, anyone know how to modify the layout of the on screen keyboard to change the order of the settings/text to speech button?

There has been some talk about the G3 screen not being as bright as some other phones in the same category.  In fact some say the sunlight visibility is poor. 

 

I leave the lab and go for a 2 mile walk in our industrial park every day at lunch.  Yesterday it was very sunny outside, and I had no difficulty at all viewing the G3 screen. 

 

Here is a link to a YouTube video that shows how much brighter the Sprint G3 is, as compared to the AT&T G3.  Could this be a glue issue like the N5?

I was outside for a while last Saturday and it was a very bright, sunny day.  The G3's screen was very easy to read even in the bright light.  My old S3 could be very difficult to see sometimes when it was especially bright outside but the G3 was very clear and there was no need to use my hand to make shade.

I had my G3 on Art for 2 weeks and during that time had it freeze 4 times. On dalvik I have not had that at all. Been using the g3 since launch.

I've had two freezes. Both immediately after receiving a text, and then swiping down the notification bar. Or, attempting to. It freezes just as it starts to move, and then a battery pull is required. But again, only twice. This is on ART.

 

As far as the keyboard, I've replaced the keyboards across all my devices with the Google Keyboard. Don't use anything else.

I think the brightness is adequate, but when on 100% it sure does suck the battery down!

My G3 hasn't crashed yet per se...  I have had the smart card notification get stuck in a loading loop when I first turned on the phone and got to the homepage.  I had to power cycle the phone to get it to stop.

I may try the Google keyboard.  I did figure out how to customize the bottom keys on the LG keyboard and get the microphone as the default so I'm happy with the LG keyboard for now.

How did you get the microphone to replace the setting's cog?  I did that on my G2, but can't remember what I did...

I finally found this webpage:

 

http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/doc-1403828818044-en-LGEAI

 

But the most important part is this:

 

LG G3 D850 KEYBOARD BASICS

Change the themes, options, and settings for the LG Keyboard.

 

To access the settings, from the Home screen, tap Apps  > Settings  > General tab (if applicable) > Language & input  > tap Gear icon  to the right of the LG keyboard, and then tap Keyboard height and layout.

 

Bottom row keys

Allows you to change voice input, handwriting, symbol keys, and more. Tap Bottom row keys. Select and drag to add or delete keys or change the order. Tap  to reset the keyboard layout to default.

My microphone will not stay.  I checked the "Bottom Row keys" settings and there were only symbols.  No microphone.  When long pressing the cog, I am presented with microphone, but can't get it to replace the cog.  Hmmmm...

I heard back from LG on the free battery and charger promo.

 

I was denied because I purchased the phone "new sealed box" on ebay.

 

I guess it all depends on who reviews the entry material.

That blows, I've not heard back from them stating I was rejected after a second review, but I also have not received anything as of yet in form of a shipping confirmation either.

Well, I hope for the best for you!  It may just take a little time.  You think they would slide it to individuals who purchased new sealed G3's  That way they promote good will and get a lot of free advertising.  Oh well...

 

What was the reason you were rejected the first time?

If we have the crack we are supposed to contact LG for a replacement.

      T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach

      Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

      Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
