It had the Spark icon, and I consistently tested over 25mbps up and down (never got these speeds on my iPhone5).

On Triband Android phones (except N5), the Spark logo is shown for all LTE connections. Not just Spark LTE. The only way you can tell you're on Spark is to check and see if you're on Band 41.

The spark icon does not mean Spark coverage. It is displayed for any LTE connection.

Again, I tested my iPhone 5 with the LG G3 side by side (and sometimes with a first generation GS4)

 

LG G3 consistently tested 25- 40+mbps down. my iPhone5 tested as it did for the past two years around my area. Never breaking 5mbps. This is a pretty controlled test IMHO.

 

I purposely ordered a new line of LG G3 just to do research before the iPhone6 launch. Had to pay $35 restocking fee, because they changed the terms to "Test Drive". I thought I still could test for 30 days without penalty.

 

It's just disappointing that the iPhone6 overall RF design isn't as strong as the G3

Love my 6 (4.7), only downer is in my area it will not switch back to 3G or LTE after leaving a 1x area - which is plentiful still where I live (even though all towers are lte). If I toggle airplane mode it fixes it.

The reason behind what Robert said is that you never really verified that you were on b41. If the speeds were as high as you say, it's safe to assume you were.

 

So far, most people are saying the iphone 6/6+ have better RF on b41 than the nexus 5.... (Which through user opinion was the best performer).

 

There could be something wrong with your phone. If you picked up b41 on the G3, you should pick it up on the 6 and 6+ without a problem.

That does make sense, I did not know how to check the bands similar to the iPhone Servicing Mode; so I can't say I was on b41 without making assumptions. 

 

Here was my iPhone5 results while I had the G3:

Guess I'll continue to test extensively once I get my 6+ as well.

Not gonna lie, I have no idea what the gibberish above was. The speed test on the G3 looks like it could've been b41, especially with that high of an upload

Does the LG G3 not use dialer codes such as ##debug# to tell what band you are on?

Update: they have 15 in the warehouse, they said within 5 days!

 

I hope so. It has been a over a week since I ordered one!!! Funny thing... I went by the Sprint store that i order the phone just by luck it came in. There were several pepoe that came in to purchase the 6+. They were upset that they could not get one. I told them I ordered one a week ago. The rep did tell them 4 to 6 weeks before they could get one.

I ordered the 128GB Gold 6 Plus, and for the price, I can understand that they might have less orders than the smaller, lower priced 6 Plus models.

Anyone notice that some information seems to be cut off when you go into your engineering screen? I can't see the whole cell identity and upload/download bandwidth values. Example:

considering it hasn't even been updated for 4" screens yet, I'm not sure it's ever going to be optimized.

Ok, thanks. So it'll still be cranky with wet and/or dirty fingers. Meh. <_<

Yes. Greasy, dirty fingers still have the same effect. It makes sense though considering its reading your fingerprint and grease or dirt can alter it.
