    Mike... You will want to pay a visit to the LG G2 thread. Band 41 has been sighted. Screenshots, including SignalCheck, have been posted. AJ

    Folks, as a PSA, do not quote the huge screenshots. You can quote the text but remove the screenshots. Thanks. AJ

    And there it is: band 41. You simply used your MSL to enable band 41 and adjust priority? Why has no one else done this so far? AJ

    So, I advised that you not try it, but you went ahead and tried it? AJ

    Yo momma's phone so fat... AJ

    I will add that the hidden Phone Info screen also has a secondary menu with band selection. If you do not know what you are doing, do not get cavalier and think that you can cleverly force 800 MHz. You will likely be sorry. And a factory reset will be your only remedy. AJ

    That is the Tracking Area Code, similar to the Location Area Code for W-CDMA/GSM and the NID for CDMA1X. I knew that TAC readout was available in the latest beta, but I had yet to see a screenshot. Regardless, it is very cool that Mike was able to fish out TAC data. I am curious how granular Sprint TACs will be. I would not be surprised if they follow established NID boundaries. AJ

    Not being able to satisfy demand immediately is not necessarily bad business nor bad publicity. It generates want and buzz. Look at Apple. I read an article just the other day about people still lining up outside the Manhattan Apple Store to buy iPhones because of limited supply. And this is weeks after the release. AJ

    Since we have a few at S4GRU who disapprove of the mAh metric... "Mah 2300 battery be holdin' me back." AJ

    Apple needs to produce a larger screen handset next year. At one time, the iPhone screen seemed huge. That time has long since passed. And a fair number of users are passing on the iPhone because the screen is now too relatively small. AJ

    I do not have anything to offer other than anecdotal evidence, but I would not expect to see a lot of students with Nexus handsets. One, many students do not buy their own handsets -- mom and dad do. Are mom and dad hip to the Nexus beat or just the iPhone mania? I will let the Samsung commercials answer the question about "mom and dad." Two, for those students who do buy their own handsets, unsubsidized Nexus handsets costs twice as much upfront as do most subsidized handsets. And money challenged students tend to look at short term costs, not long term costs. AJ

    Wow, watching the calendar already. You are not relishing football season in LA? AJ

    Maybe, maybe not. People might have to lift their heads up from their small screens, watch the game, and not get obliviously drilled with foul balls. If it does not work, then every wireless operator will be in the same boat. With at least one 20 MHz TDD carrier, the capacity issue cannot be limited to Sprint -- unless Sprint just has a massive market share in Chavez Ravine. AJ
  15. WiWavelength
    One or two 20 MHz TDD carriers will go a long way toward fixing that, maybe even knock it out of the park -- especially since a great many Sprint LTE subs will not have tri band handsets for another two years. AJ

    Are you saying "that they should have a priority line for people who've waited five times"? Hmm, where have I heard that before? AJ
  17. WiWavelength
    I spend a lot of time around 18-23 year old college students. This may not be a particularly representative sample of anything, but when I see handsets laid out in view on a desk or table, they are mostly iPhone variants or cheap T-Mobile Android smartphones. AJ
  18. WiWavelength
    No ship for you! AJ
  19. WiWavelength
    Yes. I call it the One and Only. AJ

    I meant to address this the other day. A non SVDO handset can remain attached to both CDMA1X and EV-DO simultaneously. As part of its slot cycle index, the idle handset oscillates back and forth, reading signal metrics for both CDMA1X and EV-DO carrier channels. My old Samsung flip phone demonstrated this to a T -- the carrier channel readout of its CDMA1X engineering screen would periodically flick over to the EV-DO carrier channel, then back to the CDMA1X carrier channel.

    The APK may be named something other than Testing. But that is what it is named in stock Android and HTC Sense ROMs. Either way, the internal app does seem to be present but blocked in recent LG ROMs. Look at the following screenshot. That appears to be a live image in the background. And I encountered similar when I tested an Optimus G last summer. http://imgur.com/da5Dqb8 AJ

    Actually, the problem is compatibility with certain CDMA2000 infrastructure, not LTE infrastructure. AJ

    For the masochists among us, you can inflict some pain upon yourself with this read: https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/138887?start=120&tstart=0 If S4GRU and Sprint Community were actual persons, S4GRU would be a well spoken intellectual, while Sprint Community would be a whiny moron. AJ

    Yes, I can concur from my experience that the Testing.apk still seems to be present. The dialer code apparently bypasses the menu and dumps right into the Phone Info screen -- you can see it visible in the background. But then the block on the internal app takes over. I imagine that it will be a pain in the ass to circumvent the block. Unlocking the bootloader and gaining root access are more than enough headache for me already, so I will be taking a pass on all LG non Nexus handsets for the foreseeable future. AJ

    Unfortunately, the LG G2 just does not appear suited to wireless network observation and testing. So, when my delivery arrives tomorrow, I will be returning it unopened to Best Buy. Hands down, the Nexus 5 wins the duel. AJ
