This phone performs better than my nexus 5 as far as connecting frequently to LTE sites. Seems like it scans for them more often.

Interesting.  I ran my G3 and my Nexus 5 (KitKat 4.4.4 ".16" radio) side by side on the way home from work today and they both seemed to drop LTE and pick it up within 10 seconds of each other.  I was running SCP with the audible alerts turned on.  The radios perform almost identically.  Now the Nexus 5 with the old .17 radio is a different story.  B25 LTE holds on so much better with .17 on my Nexus 5.

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 have an unscientific test to test LTE scan time.

 

1. Be in a spot where you know for sure there is LTE coverage

2. Force the phone over to 3G only in network settings

3. Put it back on LTE mode and start a stopwatch.

 

My nexus 5 took a full 8 minutes to switch to LTE. The G3 is typically under a minute.

I recall seeing an LTE scan timer under ##DATA# and viewing LTE. I think it's default is 5 minutes. The intervals were likely the same but not in sync.

My nexus held on to B25 longer with the .17 radio as well, but it was annoying because these fringe signals were seldom usable for data and connecting to a closer 3G tower was faster. I was happy when they upgraded the radio.

If you look closely at the flap on the otter box, when holding it open, you can see it offers no resistance to the cord as it's being plugged in. I've checked because I didn't want my cord to become so loose that it would not hold the cord tightly.

Root is long ways out. A month at best.

Maybe from jcase, but I know there are at least two other groups of people trying to get root for our phone right now. That said, it could still obviously take quite awhile.

(my device was swapped out after that first day, as it had serious issues)

Interested to hear what issues you were having. My G3 has been flawless minus the battery drain issue, which seems to be getting slightly better with time.

Coming from an LG G2, battery was a lot worse the first few days with the G3.  Now my battery drain with low usage is about the same or slightly better than the LG G2.  This is also probably because the Qualcomm Battery Guru app has finished learning my habits and is now active (I also had this on my G2)

 

With the wifi calling feature, when I'm at home my battery standby time is amazing because I'm only connected to wifi.

On another note, the camera on this G3 is amazing. I was able to grab some amazing low-light shots and 4K video at the Dave Matthews Show in Jax 2 nights ago. My iPhone 5S buddies were in shock. Amazing quality for such a small sensor. Lots of noise reduction, but still impressive with the amount if detail retained.

 

What really impressed me was the 4K video quality. Wow.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      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.
