I found something interesting.....

Band Class

Secondary 800

Hmm.....

EDIT: I know I'm not connected.

Trying to figure out my SMS sending problem.  Could someone post their SMSC data for me?

 

*#*#4636#*#*

Phone information

Scroll to SMSC: and click "Refresh"

 

The number I have is not the same as the Sprint number from this page but using switching to that number doesn't seem to work either.  Just wondering what other people have.

Mine is not the same as the Sprint number listed on the page.

Ok, using the signal check app, when I am not connected to lte it shows connected to ehrpd  and 1x but when I am connected to lte it just shows for the connection to lte and says no connection to ehrpd and 1x.

Thanks. I'm going to check my engineering screen when I get home.

Have you checked your engineering screens to see what you are actually connected to? It may be a problem with SignalCheck not gathering the right information. Can you receive calls when on LTE? If so, then you also must have some sort of CDMA/EVDO/EHRPD. Check your engineering screens and post that. 

I will have to do that when I get out of class. It only concerns me because the phone seems to ALWAYS connect to 1x voice when connected to LTE. Doesn't do that when I am connected to eHRPD.

Main reason I am pursuing this is because I have had multiple people complaining to me that my call quality is awful.

So yours handsoff to LTE fine, you just don't have voice?

Yes, handoff is just fine.

That's always the case if you force through the engineering menu. Happened on my Evo LTE as well. You have to have CDMA enabled to use voice.

 

Not sure if this makes a difference, but when I first turned on my phone (and the activation failed because I hadn't called Sprint) it gave me some sort of message about the SIM being locked and told me to restart. I just assumed this wasn't a problem if it activated later, but now I'm thinking it had something to do with it.

My network is CDMA/LTE

I have no connectivity issues(including LTE) what so ever, mine was set at global out of the box as well and I left it that way.

Does yours have LTE AND VOICE connected at the same time?

EDIT: Let me be clear, my phone functions fine, I have no connectivity issues in regards to things not connecting. My issue is there is NO VOICE connection along with being connected to LTE. 3G and voice connects together.

I've been trying the past several hours to get LTE working... tried almost every combination of band priorities and CDMA/LTE preferences in the phone.

 

Maybe it has something to do with a messed up APN? Don't see much about Sprint in that menu option...

I'm more concerned why its only connected to LTE and no voice connection. When I'm connected to eHRPD I also have a voice connection, doesn't seem to be the same when connected to LTE.

I don't know if this will help at all, but my Mobile Network is set to "Global". 

Can we discuss this?

Any way to get msl without bothering sprint?

Usual methods are not working.

I used Sprint Chat and it took me a whole 5 min.

Yeah I'm not impressed with the battery life compared to my GS3, but considering the screen display quality, I think the battery life is good for what you get.

I wouldn't expect something like that for another month.

Ordered this Case.

These Screen Protectors.

Screen protectors are standard, they work just fine. The Spigen case is great if you're a minimalist. The front edges are raised just slightly, enough that you can put the phone face down on a 100% FLAT AND LEVEL surface without touching the screen. The back of the case ensures that the camera lens doesn't touch when you set the phone down. Case fits very tight, no loose areas at all. Very happy.

When in LTE the phone seems to want to default to 1x voice instead of 800.

Case is coming today. I just hope it fits....

No service.

 

Should we start a separate thread for LTE issues only?

I like this Idea. Initial poster can compile a list of problems in the initial post that can be updated when issues are fixed.

How are people getting to the LTE(edit) menu to enable the other bands?

Use your MSL number.

Sprint sent me a spare but its a 2FF, I can get it to someone if Sprint runs out...

Is signal check working for everyone else?  Mines saying 'no connection' for everything but LTE.

For the brief moment LTE worked for me, it said the same thing. I think it has something to do with the lack of SVLTE support.

Same for me. It switches back and forth very quickly before and after calls.

I am the exalted potentate, the king of the wireless network nerds!

LTE scans enabled in all GEOs on that PRL and 800smr enabled on a scan first basis same priority in the majority of the areas.

Maybe they're finally upgrading the tower down the street from my apartment...

Looks like you are on a call? This phone has no SVDO or SVLTE so data will always drop while on a call.

Data is not what Im concerned with, its the fact that I'm next to an 800 voice site and only getting 1x.

What PRL is on it now?

55016

Problems all around. My phone defaults to 1x voice all the time. I have only been connected to 800 once since I have activated. Everything else is working great, even went to 7-11 to buy a slurpee and test my tap and pay.

I am thinking a PRL update is needed for this phone bad. I hope this comes with the Sprint Official Launch.

Active phones users who are/have been making phone calls. Are you making calls while running SignalCheck Pro? I'm trying to troubleshoot my horrible voice problems....

Last call was on 1x 800 and still sounded the same.

After talking with Sprint for less than 10 min, they said to replace the device....just wow.
