    Let us be clear. VoLTE is not the same thing as SVLTE -- simultaneous voice and data over different airlinks. Those different airlinks can be, for example, W-CDMA and LTE or CDMA1X and LTE. Few handsets -- I think none in the US -- have supported SVLTE for W-CDMA and LTE. But many have supported SVLTE for CDMA1X and LTE. AJ

    LG V10

    WiWavelength replied to smooth25's topic in LG

    Samsung has a generic, operator agnostic Service Mode internal app (*#0011#) that is not present on handsets from other OEMs. Sprint compatible handsets generally have an installed and accessible Field Test, Debug, or Engineering internal app (##DEBUG# or *#*#DEBUG#*#*). Other operators SIM lock out those dialer codes. There may be workarounds -- or not. By choosing a non Sprint handset and using a different operator, you have may have excluded yourself from those internal screens. That is the reality of the situation. AJ

    LG V10

    Well, if you have an LG V10, that means it/you are not on Sprint. Regardless, many other operators block engineering screen access. So, you may be out of luck. AJ

    And I have a house 30 miles away, my girlfriend has an apartment 10 miles away, so we are in the area. Let Son know that we will be happy to housesit in Mission Hills anytime Son is back in Japan or California. AJ

    Good move, Son. AJ

    Yes, stadium/arena/event Wi-Fi is a legitimate concern. I was thinking only of home use, which to me seems transparent at 10 Mbps or greater. But back to mass public use, you may not need Wi-Fi as much any longer. In Kansas City, for example, Sprint 2x CA band 41 generally is superior now to the enterprise grade Wi-Fi at Arrowhead Stadium and Sporting Park. AJ

    You do realize that both 2015 Nexus handsets support 2x2 MIMO on Wi-Fi, right? The Nexus 5 was more typical single spatial stream. That is the primary reason for your Wi-Fi speed boost. However, I am not sure why anyone should be concerned about Wi-Fi speeds on mobile devices. Whether 100 Mbps, 50 Mbps, or 10 Mbps, most handheld activities are going to function and feel the same. In my case, I have separate SSIDs for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHZ. I purposely keep my devices (handsets, tablets, printer, gaming system) off of 5 GHz and on 2.4 GHz. That way, the laptop and the secondary Wi-Fi router connected to several NAS in another room get the 5 GHz super highway all to themselves. Those are the equipment that can benefit from additional speed. AJ

    JThorson, this clip is more appropriate… Everything turns into shit. AJ

    I hear that Legere prefers rich Corinthian leather baggery for his many company paid trips between Seattle and New York. AJ

    But is it the right half or the wrong half? AJ

    That seems to be what happens as soon as Big Finance gets involved with a site. Maybe the independently and collectively financed S4GRU has had it right all along. AJ

    That is right, Robert. This is a test just to see who will "Like This" aforementioned post. You passed the test. AJ

    And another site goes down the drain -- to the lowest common denominator. Such is life in the digital information age. Maybe I should just kill myself to be free from this "garbage." AJ

    I just did some further research on The Verge. I think I knew that Comcast has financial influence over Vox Media, which owns The Verge. But I did not realize until now that founder Joshua Topolsky had departed and left The Verge in other editorial hands. AJ

    Look at these citations from the article: Forget the incorrect grammar. This guy dashed off an article with seemingly little knowledge or research. Sprint is not bumping throttled users down to a "2G" but technically "3G" CDMA1X airlink. The throttle rate is 128 kbps -- that is on LTE and is toward the mid to high end of throughput on CDMA1X. I think this writer has GSM/GPRS/EDGE on the brain. Poorly informed and highly biased... AJ

    I thought that The Verge was a more intellectual site, above the "click bait" headlines of BGR, etc. I guess not. And writer Nick Statt may not be an idiot. But he was wearing his idiot cap today, also grinding his axe against Sprint. AJ

    If you are going to say that, post a link to the freaking article. Do not tease us. AJ

    I have done some research on Mobile Beacon and Mobile Citizen. One tidbit I found is why libraries oddly are using WiMAX for Internet provision. They are not using WiMAX for their own Internet connections -- that would be too slow for entire buildings. Instead, they are checking out mobile hotspots to patrons. https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/Clear_Resellers_Impact_Broadband_Adoption.html I question the utility of this service. If people can afford Wi-Fi connected devices at home, then they also can afford basic home broadband -- which they might even qualify to receive via a government subsidized program. If not, then they still can go to the library proper for Internet access. And are "disadvantaged" people the ones who actually are checking out the mobile hotspots? Or is it largely patrons who just want to take advantage of free Internet on the go? AJ

    Probably, the Project Fi SIM is locking you out. There is some funky mojo going on inside that poly network SIM. AJ

    Even when CA is available and active, the BW field will not indicate greater than 20 MHz FDD/TDD, as that is the greatest individual carrier bandwidth under current LTE standards. AJ

    I am an expert on Kansas City geography. It is almost certainly a Huawei issue. All of the engineering screens vary somewhat from OEM to OEM. AJ

    That is important archival work. Thank you. AJ
