    LG G2 Users Thread!

    Thomas L. replied to koiulpoi's topic in LG

    I have a question for everyone. I have an unlocked Sprint G2, and as you know that means it can be used internationally but not domestically on other networks with foreign Sim cards. I am going to China for the summer, and I'm wondering if I get a China Mobile SIM card, will my G2 connect to their band 41 LTE? What do you all think?

    LG G3

    I need this device to come out nowwwwwwwwwwwwww

    Do any of our Sprint employees know if there are any sales/deals coming up for upgrade customers in the next few weeks? Specifically for the LG G2? Tommy

    Remember that Verizon only changed it because they were legally obligated to by the FCC as a condition of the digital dividend spectrum they won.

    But Sprint gains back that subsidy over time in service fees, that's why they require a contract. After that contract is up they really have no excuse to keep the device locked.

    I believe someone said it was active there. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

    Something has changed recently in Los Angeles, within the last maybe 3-4 weeks. I can no longer stay connected to 1x800 - it will connect for a few seconds with a really strong signal, and then default back to 1900. I'm not sure what's up.

    Is the Nexus 5 already enabled for Band 41? I thought they had disabled it for default for now?

    I still am disappointed by the fact that Sprint hasn't moved to CSIM authorization, using a MEID embedded in the UICC (SIM card) that is activated as opposed to each device having to have a MEID.

    Does anyone know when this model is supposed to start replacing the 1900 only S4? Do we think they're going to announce the change or just start sending them out instead like T-Mobile did with their S3 vs S3 LTE?

    Bingo - I was just coming back to this thread to post this as I've been thinking about it and I didn't even see that this had already been addressed. In this case, with a UICC with the CSIM app, the MEID that's activated should be ON THE CARD, so the CARD essentially becomes the device that's activated. If they weren't doing this, there wouldn't been any reason for them to have switched to using CSIM authentication, they could have stayed with a USIM for LTE only. My assumption is that this is part of Softbank's future plans to take advantage of economies of scale with devices and chipsets. If a device can use a Softbank or China Mobile GSM UICC in Japan and China for their services and a Sprint UICC for service here, the same device might be able to be used across all three markets. That would be a big advantage..

    Are they working on it? Do you know? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

    Even the devices (right now only the iPhone 5S and 5C) with CSIM support require the MEID to be in the system? I thought for CSIM all the information needed for it to authenticate on a CDMA network was stored on the card?

    I doubt it. It's not like the IBEZ agreement is just around the corner. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

    I think what he's saying is that since Sprint has already said that eventually they'll deploy VoLTE, it makes sense for them to chose LTE over 1x in spectrum constrained markets because eventually they can launch VoLTE in those markets. The other way around of course isn't possible. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

    Starting 2014 China Mobile will REQUIRE support of Band 41 - so either Apple will support it or they won't be on China Mobile. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

    Are we talking about supporting the CSIM app on the UICC? Because as far as I know we've moved from there being actual SIMs/USIMs/CSIMs to those just being applications on one UICC. SIM of course being for GSM networks, USIM being for UMTS and I guess LTE networks as well, and CSIM being for CDMA networks. I know that Sprint UICCs have SIM and USIM apps on them because USIM is needed for LTE and HSPDA international roaming and SIMs for GSM international roaming.

    It takes new fiber provisioning for LTE 800? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

    CDMA 800 is up all around Los Angeles, and I have it right now in Long Beach where I am. I'll check UCLA when I move in. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

    I know it is live there in quite a few places. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

    Even if it's connected it can't be broadcasting... San Diego is in the IBEZ. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

    Do they need to have FITs before they can start deploying? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4
  23. Thomas L.
    That's why I said and maybe NO - I know we know Robert mentioned Montana for sure, but I couldn't remember for sure what the second fit was. I had thought it might be NO. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

    Any idea what they're correct for? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4
  25. Thomas L.
    It's my understanding that there's a decent amount of suspicion that there very well might be some LTE 800 sites live out there already, other than the FIT sites in Montana and a second one... New Orleans maybe? One individual in Shentel territory who is an employee said parts of their territory already have it launching. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4
