Actually, it was over a week ago, but it did. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

They change my priorities on my LTE scan back to default too. I changed them back, needless to say. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

Yep. I'm really starting to believe my theory that Sprint is going to pull off the biggest launch yet with Vegas having Band 41 live in many areas before launching the Vegas Market. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

About the same between the 2 bands. My iPhone 5S was on Band 25 at the same time the Nexus 5 was on band 41, and signal was almost equal. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

Nope. It's Sprint Band 41, not Clearwire's deployment. Mike acknowledged that he has to research into that one. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

So, band 41 LTE at Lamb just north of Craig. Sitting in front if AmsOil. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

No, that's not it. The locations are offset, and it appears that ALU is leaving it that way. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Really? They just enabled 1x800 voice here in Pahrump last night or this morning. I'd say they are doing well! Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

1x800 is finally live in Pahrump! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Well, at least Sprint got this announcement out of the way. So we know it's not the main subject of the 'Happy Connecting' event next Monday. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

As far as I know, no. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

Let me summarize my trip to LA. My phone had no issues switching between Band 25 and Band 41. It was seamless. In fact, my Nexus 5 was picking up LTE better than my iPhone 5S. From all the issues you guys have been having, I just can't believe I had such a great connection. And the area of LA I'm in has very little LTE with the closest 2 sites still not LTE accepted.

They range about 18.5-19.8 dBm for both bands. It's pretty much on par with many other current Spark phones. First, I believe the lead time was around 1.5 to 2 years. 2nd, Roaming Hub compatible phones are supposed to be released later this year. I expect the Galaxy Note 4 could be one of the first for that.

I agree. It is hilarious! So I take it that the iPhone is now a midget in LG's eyes.

This morning I posted an article to the wall regarding the LG G2 mini. If you will please re-direct yourselves to this link, and enjoy. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-365-lg-g2-mini-a-day-late-and-a-dollar-short/ Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

by Josh McDaniel Sprint 4G Rollout Updates Friday, June 13, 2014 - 10:59 AM MDT Earlier this year, rumors began circulating that Sprint and LG were going to release the LG G2 mini, a smaller version of the G2. The model number of the phone was even listed as LGLS885. Earlier this week, LG received FCC OET approval for that very model number. But is this phone too late to market, as the release of the LG G3 is rumored to be early this summer? No, it couldn't come at a more perfect time. The phone is to have the following specs (according to the Sprint UA profile): Qualcomm MSM8926 1280 x 720 HD resolution 4.7” screen Android 4.4.2 build LS885Z03 KitKat on board with an update already in the works to build LS885ZV2 (Android 4.4.3?) 1 GB RAM 8 GB internal flash storage 32 GB compatible microSD card slot 8 MP rear camera 1.3 MP front camera The authorization docs indicate the G2 mini to be potentially the first VoLTE capable Sprint phone to pass through the FCC. The key is "potentially." Authorizations for other G2 mini variants also include notation of VoLTE capability, so that may be just boilerplate at this point. Below you will find a screenshot documenting such language. Could this mean that this year's flagships prior to the G2 mini won't get VoLTE? Who knows? They could receive OTA updates, but Samsung and HTC aren't obligated. Of course, being tri-band, this phone isn't SVDO nor SVLTE capable. We remind you of this every time because some still ask if they can talk and surf the Web at the same time on Sprint tri-band LTE phones. No, only on Wi-Fi. However, if VoLTE is enabled for use on the G2 mini, then it could allow voice and data at the same time. But until Sprint clarifies its VoLTE stance, we can't be sure such a feature will be activated any time soon. “QoS” could be the deciding factor. As for RF performance, it appears that LG and Sprint have purposely optimized this phone for TD-LTE on band 41. EIRP levels for band 41 are around 5-7 dB higher than EIRP for band 25 and ERP for band 26. Why is that? One explanation is to help camp users on band 41 as the primary LTE band and use band 25 and band 26 only where band 41 LTE isn’t available. A date for release has not been mentioned, but my personal projection is for the G2 mini to be available before the end of the summer. Sources: FCC OET, Sprint UA Profile

I don't want the name to be T-Mobile. That's counter-intuitive to Masa's goal. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2
