Dkoellerwx Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thanks. I may have to take a drive sometime to try to find out. Any negative replies of inability to roam on LTE in a particular location? I don't recall seeing any when I read through this thread. There have been some USCC LTE Roaming reports in Missouri, I was able to get LTE roaming in Kansas. I should say, both of those reports where from LG G4s.

Grabber5.0 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I've got a question about sim card swapping. I wanted to compare the data speeds on my 5X between Sprint, ATT, and T-mobile at different spots around town. Also my sister-in-law lives in a horrible Sprint coverage hole near Neosho, so popping in a different sim while we are there would be awful handy. I know on gsm phones, swapping sims is no big deal. I just want to make sure that doing so wouldn't affect the Sprint CDMA activation, and that everything would still work normally after putting the Sprint sim back in. Has anyone here done this? I searched on here and did a Google search, but nothing I found gave me enough confidence to try it. On one forum, I found someone on a different carrier that had issues switching back to their CDMA carrier on a Nexus 5 (I believe it was in Canada).

I'm pretty sure in theory everything should be OK as long as you don't change any settings on Sprint's website related to the SIM or line while it's inactive. And you do a "network settings update" or whatever it's called in the 5X's carrier settings whenever you swap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had problems switching between Sprint SIM and other GSM provider SIMs in my Nexus devices. Most of the problems come from switching between Sprint MVNO's and Sprint. Also, make sure you don't change your Sprint account to another device while using the GSM SIM. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newboyx Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Not sure if this has been found yet, but I know it was in question if 3rd party unlocked devices were able to access Band 41 CA. Activated my Nexus 5x this morning and got this. Sent from my SM-T237P using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally remembered I had an unused nano sim for Straight Talk. I activated it and popped it in the 5X and it worked without issue swapping either direction.

swintec Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Looky what the recent profile update enabled. what? CA and LTE roaming has been enabled on my 5x since I first activated it shortly after it was released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Looky what the recent profile update enabled. what? CA and LTE roaming has been enabled on my 5x since I first activated it shortly after it was released. Does LTE roaming actually work, though? We have not had any reports yet of LTE roaming on the three unlocked BYOD handsets, only on Sprint branded handsets. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber5.0 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Looky what the recent profile update enabled. What screen is that? I can't find it in the engineering screens. Edited February 19, 2016 by Grabber5.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 What screen is that? I can't find it in the engineering screens. It's the data screen, ##3282# or *#*#3282#*#* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber5.0 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It's the data screen, ##3282# or *#*#3282#*#*Thanks. I'm sure glad you can paste those codes into the dialer.

ingenium Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I don't have this option on my 6p is this only for the 5x?Works fine on my 6P. Remember the order of *s and #s is reversed on the beginning and end. Edit: or do you mean the LTE roaming line? If so, I don't have it on my 6P either.

Why would the 5x and not the 6p?The 6P also doesn't have the CA line and lacks a useful/functional LTE engineering screen.

WiWavelength Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 for what its worth i just got another network initiated network update. never had this many with prior phones. wonder what they are altering. Sprint is in the process of swapping around a lot of PCS spectrum with VZW, AT&T, and T-Mobile. That will affect band class 1 CDMA2000 carrier channel assignments. Those changes may precipitate multiple PRL updates. For reference, see current and future articles on The Wall. AJ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
