Won't let me edit. That I saw*

well maybe last summer, seems like it was longer. does anyone know what towers the lte is coming from for the lakefront? the maps don't show any LTE complete for the lakefront.

This past summer for sure was when it got turned on. There a couple near downtown that I see when I looked earlier today.

I have a tri band phone, so i wont get LTE till it is fully lit up, with the csfb installed. it's been said that generally its anything marked yellow on the map, but that hasnt always been the case.

 

people have detected LTE on sensorly where I am from as far back as a year ago, along the lakefront, but not sure from where since there are no LTE sites complete on the map near me, just 3g.

a year ago? You're crazy. The lakefront was just this summer right before summerfest when it got turned on.

Oh lawd.

And yes we are happy! Maybe I'll have 4g at work today!

Got approval from my service manager to order myself a new phone so we'll see how my new G2 does. Hopefully my data connection will stay solid now.

The motor x gets better life than what you prolly think it does. Multiple managers in my company have them and have had no complaints about them. It's actually a really efficient device and makes pretty good use of what it has sort of like what Apple has done.

It sounds like you want the best or literally everything and that isn't going to happen. Not one phone out there will fit your needs exactly so I guess you have to take some good with the bad. Coming from a guy who used to be Samsung only I'll say you can't go wrong with an s4 but all the bloat is most definitely a pain. Stock touchwiz is something like 7 gigs worth of os. Moto is really slim on their bloat if any and fits everything else better. It really sounds to me like Moto would work for you. I'd say try it and if you don't like it you have 14 days to return it.

-44. Holy crap batman.

Anyone having problems in the Milwaukee area getting we are unable to complete your call at this time messages? I just tried calling 4 times in a row and ended up force Roam to US Cell to make the call. This has happened a few times over the last couple of weeks.

Been a common issue the last few weeks. Only thing is to keep trying. I get it in racine from time to time too.

Verizon phone is thicker due to wireless charging being built in. If it's for Verizon it won't fit.

Longest I've gone on mine is 40 something hours with 6 hours of screen on time. I love this phone and the battery life.

Mines dropped data for a second, then in the blink of a second it tried to roam then prompted "no data connection" in status bar. My area has lte but its pretty weak at my house and work so i rarely even see it on my phone. When i moved my car a hour ago it showed lte but dbm of -122 and as soon as i tried to reply to a FB message it dropped to 3g.

hmm. Wonder if the new update broke data in some weird way.

Mine just dropped after i read your post, i gave it a few minutes and it finally came back but a weak signal.

It dropped on my way to dinner and stuck on only 1x800 and then it just did it now at home where I have decent lte. Normally when I try and turn off wifi it won't connect to anything but voice.

Anyone have their data connection just completely drop off and then not come back til you reboot? This happens prolly once a day on mine and it's starting to get annoying.

 

 

I have a tri-band G2. Check out this speed!! This was Highway 100 just south of Hales Corners. The future is looking bright! (PS, sorry about the huge image, I'm not quite sure how to scale this down).

Those are some awesome speeds for the relatively low signal strength you're showing in signal check.

I activated a 32 gig at my store the other day. You just can't enter the whole meid. You leave the last digit off and you're good.

I have not had that experience yet, but as little as I understand this once towers are marked complete for a service (800/4g etc) the phone appears to need the update for it to properly receive. (Samsung S4) This is my only explanation for the 800 falling off on these 4 towers on Monday only to return immediately after my update today.

I had to do a prl for a day or two once I got 800 at the house. The reason mine had to be redone at least in my opinion is due to me traveling out of the areas that have 800 to areas that don't have it at all. Now that the whole area I travel in is 800 I don't have this issue.

Lesson for everyone out there. UPDATE PRL EVERY DAY.

I would be careful with this. A lot of users are reporting they've been "updated" to a new prl which has booted them off of lte. Apparently it's a prl from 4 years ago. I don't think we'll have that issue here but something to be on the lookout for.

Anyone have a triband phone in the Oak Creek area? I think I asked before but I don't remember if I got an answer.

At work none of our triband phones get lte when the tower down the street both ways are green pins. The usual airplane mode and prl have been done and it will hang on lte for a second and then default back to 3g. Ideas?

Well which tower is it? The one on Morgan or the one on Loomis. I'm on 9th and Morgan so I'm curious why I wouldn't get if it's coming from 22nd and Morgan. How can you tell which one?

Loomis.

If you have Signalcheck installed once a site goes 800 live for voice it shows you the exact address of the site.

You'd think with Madison being primarily done we'd see some more action in Milwaukee. Guess next time we'll have to whine how you guys did to make sure we get completed quicker.

 

Still no update here. Did it twice.

This update needs to roll out quicker so we can see if it improves at all for sure. I'd be interested to know if my quality gets better than it already is.

My area is voice 800 complete. Just waiting for LTE 800 now...

And how's your voice quality? Good or cracked and broken?

Edit. Just read what you posted not too long ago. I haven't had any issues with mine as far as sounding tinny. Mine sounds how all my phones have just my g2 has a lot more oomph behind the sound it puts out. The speakerphone being the only thing that lacks.

i guess it has to be for different regions because my call quality is awesome..my dad even asked me while i was talking to him what was i doing different because he could hear me so much better, thats when i told him i got a new phone..i havent had any crackling or anything like that with the exception of listening to headphones on pandora..i get a white noise, scretching sound every now and then but other than that, this is definitely the best phone ive had.

This I think is playing a big part. For those of you with call quality issues I wonder if you have 800 complete in your area.

I frequently look at my phone to make sure I haven't accidently hit speakerphone because my calls are just THAT loud due to my area having 800 complete for voice.

Anyone tried to use the tool on LG's website to update their phone? I got the app downloaded from LG and it says I need the drivers installed through the app but our model isn't listed. Anyone else tried this or have you all just waited for it to show up on your phone?

Here's another one that drove me crazy....

 

South 27th Street north of College. I wondered why on earth they had a site here since it is only a short distance from their site on that ugly water tower just about in the Menard's parking lot between College and Rawson.

 

Turns out it's an IN BUILDING site at some sort of medical facility!! In their parking lot I got a -50dB signal (a real WOW) but as soon as I pulled out on to 27th street it disappeared quickly. No antennas visible on the building. I was half tempted to go inside and ask them if Sprint had a cell site in their building but they might have rolled over a gurney and put ME on it!

I went and looked this up thinking it was a repeater. It shows on a map I have access to as being an actual tower and not a repeater. Awkward the signal is such short lived with being a tower.
