Not all phones can receive band 41.

My LG G2 and Galaxy s5 can.  The S5 was connected to Band 41 for a while but still showing 3G.

My MiFi will connect to LTE but my phones won't, wth?

Does this show that I'm connected to a different band now? Same location as before.

Why does my debug menu show this but I'm on 3g? Signal too low?

Just had a nice dropped call and people can't hear me and couldn't make calls... must be working on the tower.

I think Sprint turned off LTE in newport and downtown Cincinnati.  The LG G2 no longer picks up an LTE signal any more :-(

Connected via mifi with my 1 bar of LTE

well... good question, just 800 mhz lte then. sorry my bad.  The icon on the LG G2 was the spark symbol.

Newport, KY has 800 Spark.  1 little bar but we have it. 25 mbps down 6 up.

So for us non-triband folks no LTE then huh?

I'm pretty sure that was all mine from the weekend.  It is probably all band 41 LTE because I was playing around with the hidden menu settings of my G2.  There was an option called "UE Usage" that you can toggle between Voice Centric and Data Centric.  I switched it to Data Centric and I was able to hold LTE from exit 2 on 75S all the way to the Taco Bell in Covington, then across the bridge into downtown until I parked on 9th St.  

It was nice to be connected to LTE, but I found out that it won't let phone calls or texts through.  I could make calls and send texts, but incoming was not happening.  I guess it is because of the CFSB issues.

1/2 of downtown has coverage according to Sensorly.

Has anyone following this thread had an lte phone downtown?

I live downtown and work in Newport.  I have 3 LTE devices.  I'll let everyone know for sure as soon as I see it!
