I think it's the same way as any other Samsung phones so search up galaxy s4 lte only mode.

Let's play nice. Not all of us are phone people. I have a question. Denver Colo has Band 41 working for Hot spot equipment, as Robert has. Why doesn't it work for single band 4gLte phones in those places. I am not a cell phone guy. Just lookoing for answers. Thanks...

No one has answered my question yet. Why can't single band Sprint phones access 4G lte on band 41 yet. Can any of you help me? Thanks Phil

Single band phones do not have the hardware for Band 41, therefore no access. Only Tri-Band phones can use Band 41. Until eCSFB is in place, no access for them either.

 

Any place Band 25 is live, single band devices can use it. Tri-Band devices cannot without eCSFB. 

 

As far as my response to coloradorockymountain, he should know better.

Yes there are band 25 sites in the area. Become a sponsor of the site and find out where they are at.

There are a couple. Mainly outside of the C470 loop. They are waiting on the clusters to be complete before firing up any more.

Very cool. I took 6 years of French, but never had a chance to visit any French speaking places. Instead, I've been to Austria haha.

Some of them are, some are not. The few inside of the C470 loop are not.

Surely less than 6 months. I would say inside of two months. If not sooner. Like, Saint Patty's sooner... if we're lucky.

April 15 you think? I think June 15th.... Just an uneducated guess. But I am cranked at either.!!!! Rock and roll. Santa

If you listened to anything Merlin said, March 17th.... as a guess.

 

We'll see. The vast majority of sites are ready to go. Just waiting on a few stragglers.

Very cool. Nice to see Band 41 in action where there is no Band 25 coverage.

I just want to take a moment to explain something clearly:

 

All Sprint LTE devices that are not Triband are Uniband (except the iPhone 5s/5c). Meaning they only work on one band. That's Band 25 (1900MHz).

 

That's why not all Sprint LTE devices work on Band 41. Because they were designed to work only on one different band. Sprint initially started LTE deployment on only Band 25. And since have added Bands 26 and 41.

 

Triband LTE devices work on Bands 25, 26, 41. So they can access a lot more LTE sites. However, Triband smartphones require CSFB in order to work properly. A Triband smartphone will stay on 3G only if CSFB is not present. A Triband hotspot is unaffected by CSFB as they don't offer voice. You can force a Triband phone into LTE Only mode and it will run on LTE (including B41), but you will lose access to voice services.

 

The iPhone 5s/5c are the only dual band devices on the Sprint network. They run on B25 and B26. They will not work on B41. They do not require CSFB to work on LTE. The iPhone 5 is uniband and runs on B25 only.

 

Currently, there are over one hundred B41 sites live in the Denver Metro/FoCo Corridor. They are accessible to all Triband hotspots. They are also accessible to Triband smartphones in places where Samsung has already completed 3G upgrades and eCSFB is live. Other than that, Triband smartphones will need to be in LTE Only mode to use Band 41 until 3G/CSFB is upgraded near the other B41 sites.

 

Hopefully this clears things up.

Why was Denver picked by Sprint to be an early adopter of band 41?  Why not Vegas or Phoenix or

other suitable Wimax locals with similar topology?  I've often wondered about this..Perhaps Denver

had smaller market share?  Little Wimax usage?
