I'm going to do that tonight if the ROM I want to use will download.

 

Good Luck, Josh!! A decent ROM can make all the difference in the world... make your phone seem like a whole new device. Hopefully you can find something that works well... I know it exists.

4G, ok, but wifi on newer phones?? We leave wifi on on both a 3vo and a Shift, and empirically find no difference in battery consumption compared to managing wifi by hand. My Evo, on the other hand, had a huge difference controlling the radios by hand.

 

Interesting tool, many thanks for this info. :)

I think the tool is more about getting the user to create WiFi profiles for the access points the user is frequently near rather than conserving battery by turning off WiFi.

 

Sprint is trying to offload traffic as well as improve the user's connected speeds.

 

I hope it is truly intelligent and not just nagware.

Can anyone who has the LG Viper 4G LTE phone confirm that this Connections Optimizer software is included in the preloaded apps by Sprint? Also if the app does exist, have you used it and does it work well with transitioning you from 3G/4G to Wifi? Maybe a description of what you see on your phone when the transition happens would be helpful.

Eric, I'm under the impression that it's not a usable app but more of a hidden software feature that might or might not have a menu choice in settings. Although, I would also like to know how it works and if it affects battery life significantly more than without it.

Please do because I am very interested to see how this feature works.

 

I could find nothing on the phone indicating the software had been loaded.

 

If installed, it It shows up in:

Settings > Wireless & Network > Mobile Networks > Automatic Connections

 

But nothing was in there so it is not preloaded for some reason.

I thought I heard they were going to add it later when more LTE markets were lit up. At least now we know it's a menu setting.

 

Thanks Duffman

And can be turned off. Hopefully that will placate the Luddites.

 

I plan to test it with an open mind.

If you have the ability to, can you please test the Viper against the EVO Shift and let me know which one has better 3G data? I really want the Viper all of a sudden.

No difference in RX Power between Evo Shift' date=' Evo 4G, or Viper.

 

Viper had lower Ex/Io.[/quote']

 

Thanks for the info.

      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....
