If I installed a T-Mobile sim card, could I use my phone on Sprint if I had it set to CDMA in the *#*#4636*#*# menu, then change it's mode to GSM ONLY to receive my T-mobile service?

Your handset has only one active radio path.  With a fringe LTE signal, it needs some time to sort out its connection.  Will it be LTE, eHRPD, or CDMA1X?  It has to test them sequentially, not simultaneously.

 

This is nothing unusual.  AT&T and T-Mobile users, for example, drop down to W-CDMA to make/receive calls.  In some cases, they will not reacquire LTE for several minutes.

Okay, I'll probably just switch to 3g until a tower closer to me gets upgraded, It's just frustrating losing signal for 45 seconds every 5 minutes.

I was curious to how fluid Sprint LTE works in a completed market like New York.  In my area, every time I drive I constantly get kicked back to 3g, and some LTE signals are weak.  In a completed market how good does it work?

Dropping to CDMA1X to send SMS is normal behavior.  Apparently, you have not been following the single radio e/CSFB discussion.  Start by reading Robert's article on The Wall.  Then, read the thread.

I've read it, and  can connect to LTE perfectly fine.  When I'm close to the tower, everything works as supposed to, it's only when I have a fringe LTE signal that this occurs.  So would it still be a problem with the handoff?

Does anybody else have service problems when switching between LTE and 3g?  If I have a bar or less of LTE, and am in an area I get 2-3 bars of 3g every time I send a text my phone goes to "Searching For Service" for 30-45 seconds before reconnecting.  If I switch to 3g only, everything works.  What's the problem>

Speedway and mountain  or 4th and Broadway I believe.

Park/18th and 1st/Glenn.

Any idea when the one on the campus will get updated?

Can a sponsor please take a look at a map and tell me where Service Cell: 426 and 361 are?

Should be in Tucson by University, I plan to donate next paycheck, but until then could someone help me at with some cross streets?

I know this might sound like a stupid question, but do you have mobile data enabled?  I saw you had WiFi off, but is there a separate setting somewhere to turn mobile data on and off?  My signal in my house is about -105 dBm to -107 dBm at times and I get fairly good DL and UL speeds. 

Yea! Mobile data is on! and 3g works fine, just not LTE

I am on the fringe of LTE, getting one - two bars (Signal Check says its higher), however I am not getting Data at all

Why would that be?

Wouldn't let me post photos, so here's drop box link

3g Works Fine

Soooo time to stop my homework, open up sensorly, and DRIVE

I'm going to write my initials in Sensorly.

Just enabled Band 41 on my device. Will test it when I get to work which is in a Clear LTE area. Anyone have any success with manually enabling Band 41?

How do you enable the band?

This is a hardware feature this phone doesn't support.

So when Sprint uses VOLTE sending voice over data, it still won't work?

I didn't know...

Me either!  Can this be fixed with a SW update?  Or is it strictly hardware?  Or this phone support VOLTE (I think), so will it work then?

I was a 2-3 weeker when I ordered, yet it is arriving today.  That's over two weeks early.  Hopefully that will be true for everyone else.

When did you order yours?  I ordered mine at 11:30pm, so I was just curious to when you ordered yours, and when yours came (I got my time of the emailed receipt)

Who wants to go to 44 and Bell with me tomorrow?  Cute girls please, or anyone will do I guess...
