MacinJosh Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Finally got me an iPhone 6s Plus. Yay me! Anyway I've been seeing posts here about how the field test screen on the 6s models are not showing the correct information. Today at work I went to the field test screen a couple of times while on 3G and for the SID of 4148 it normally shows 1900 PCS for the band class but on the new phone the field test app showed it as being 800 SMR. Has anyone else experienced this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, except my 3G connections always say the non SMR 800 MHz. Apple almost completely killed the 1x Field Test Screen.

MacinJosh Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 I feel that the 6s is handling data not as nice as my old iphone 6. Not sure why but it seems slower and even close to a tower, I get slow speeds. My 6S Plus works better than my 6 Plus in terms of handling data. My connections are far more stable overall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Dean Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Finally was able to the Apple Store and pick up a 6s Plus 128GB. I believe that I was able to connect to a second carrier in Nashville with 55dn/15up. It is the fastest speed I have recorded on LTE. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Dean Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Just ran ##UPDATE#. PRL updated to 55030. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamisonshaw125 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Well, its been about a week now since my phone went for a swim and it's still running smoothly. Guess the 6s is slightly waterproof like they said. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimloch Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Is there any way to manually update the PRL? I'd like to change to a 56*** PRL for 3G roaming. Sent using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Dean Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Really liking the new wifi antenna. When Comcast is working correctly at home, I have seen 126 down/25 up. I would guess the down speed is the max for the phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess the down speed is the max for the phone. I've been getting upwards of 200 mbps on my 6 Plus on my 300 mbps Time Warner connection. -Anthony 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JossMan Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Was with AT&T and now back with Sprint at half the price, I regret I even switched but now I'm rocking a space grey iPhone 6S which is unprecedented considering I've been in the Android ecosystem since the beginning. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way you can play around with it is in the messages app. There you can see the "peek" and "pop".

Vince Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I have to admit, I really love the live pictures on this phone more than I though I would when Apple announced it. It's really awesome thinking you just have a picture of a special moment, and then press it to get 3 seconds of video with audio of that moment. [emoji106]????
