Is the router on the latest firmware?  Routers can be hacked  and used to reroute spam or DOS, but this is not common.  there are AT&T specialists available over at DSLreports.com who will look at this differently than the usual AT&T customer report reps: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/sbcdirect

I just installed that battery app. I'll need a refresher on Android before I start killing processes, because I'm not sure which are bad.

You could also just have a bad phone. I am an intensive phone user,  and it rarely drains at the rate you are experiencing. Exchange it before your 14 days expire if needed.

Why is it against rules...not premier or put out by s4gru....his find!

Small cells? Where?

We are now seeing SCP no longer  logging with logging fully enabled while using the "national" SCP database (6/24 and 7/27).  Wondering if it is too many records for some of your variables?  Various phones and firmware: imex99 N6, nowerlater G4 with latest firmware, dkyeager g4 with original firmware.  Diagnostics sent.

9:15 am: The three of us worked together.  National database was absolved first.  Then verified to be just a beta issue.  Bleeding edge of technology.

[is now a good time to put in a plug again for site_latitude & site_longitude so we can find small cells and have accurate neighbor info? ]

Does anyone know if Sprint's coverage Spark coverage includes coverage from Clear sites where LTE was added?

Not always.  Sometime they forget to add it back when they do a Sprint active 8T8R update.

It's not actually showing B25, if it was it would say LTE 25 or 1900 LTE. (Edit: I just saw that the provider does say Sprint B25. I believe that is the default for when SCP doesn't know what you are connected to. I was looking at the notification and the top line for LTE band).

 

5.1 devices for some reason continue to report a 1x value for some time after switching to LTE from 3G. This is an android bug, as this is what the OS is reporting to SCP. Notice Discovery continues to show a 1x connection as well, even though we know it shouldn't seeing as you are on a tri-band device. I'm not sure why Discovery is able to see the GCI buy SCP is not. This bug popped up just as Mike got busy (went on vacation?) So not sure he has had a lot of time to work on it yet.

On my LG G4, SCP often won't display GCI when it is displaying 3G and LTE 1900.  It only happens with certain sites. I think it may have something to do with the G4 3g look ahead issue where it makes a table of what GCI with which NID-SID-BID.  This could actually be a feature.  LTE Discovery displays both and I can sometimes see both move the RSRP/RSSI, but it often crashes.  Only Signal Detector seems to be working fine all the time.

Currently have full NID SID BID 1x1900 data entered for 71% of sites. Same source as above.

I have been busy adding the SIDs to the dkyeager spreadsheets and then the NV hunters sheet.  This information has bid info from pre-offsets.  Now up to EA5x.  Actually taking it from original Netmonitor app source data, so it is more extensive than spreadsheets. Up to 7CF was included in latest national SCP database.  Currently have full NID SID BID 1x1900 data entered for 41% of sites.

*** spreadsheets updated to here with NID SIDs added to back to 3/9/2014 beginning, excluding legacy.

one exception so far:

22442 214 59922 EA12 4505 S Hamilton Rd, Groveport

which currently says homer lane, so ignored.

Also ignored are spreadsheet info without SIDs from dkyeager (may try to find originals).

Mike, when you go to update the last_time for a GCI, can you check the first_time to see if it is before 2010 then update it to last_time as well.  This will enable those of us using national user_notes to see the duration of a change.  Thanks!!

Could low sales of the G4 be because of the G3 doing so well? Were as people are still on contract and/or they are happy with their G3 that they don't see a need to switch/upgrade quite yet until they get more out of the G3?

 

Granted there is C.A. and greater RF performance in the G4 and some other minor upgrades over the G3, but to me nothing overly "major." But I guess that's just my opinion.

Without the phone upgrade being bundled-in to the price, many people will keep their phone until it fails apart, which also helps to avoid the pain of upgrading your apps and screen layouts.  The G2 early adopters are just now passing 2 years. 

For those in urban areas it does make a difference with its improved B41 and CA.  Out in the country, the b25 of the G2 is better.  I did my comparison with many sites, but it was in the international boundary exclusion zone. A quick real-world  B26 test reveals both to be about the same.  The G4 is much much more response than the G2 and I have never seen any lags, whereas my g2 lags several times a day. Just one person, but then I have always pushed my computing devices to the edge and beyond.

Still present, diags set. Did correct a minute later

I only saw about a two second glimpse of the issue with the latest fix, which then self-corrected. 

I only saw this issue with my LG G4, and only with some sites.  I have observed this issue with both SCP and LTE Discovery (which can display the full info for both).  The RSRP/RSSI would vary independently.  I did quickly test to see if voice calls allow LTE data -- no such luck (as expected). I do recall seeing a possible setting for this CDMA look-ahead feature (might be hidden) but can not recall this morning.  However, the G4 does keep an LTE available list by SID NID and BASE_ID (##DATA# LTE_Available File - mine now has 170 recent systems), which is what this is likely used for. 

In other words, this "problem" may be a feature rather than a bug, which, given site capabilities, might allow you to track NID-SID-BID at the same time as GCI.

Sorry to be so ignorant, but when people talk about you need to have the newest devices that are CA capable...

ZTE Hot Spot is supposed to get a firmware update that will make it CA 2x20 capable in the several dozen first round markets (ours included).  This may not be the actual model name.

Has anyone else experienced issues with the leather back and reception dropping off?

Haven't been able to map for quite awhile here on Sprint...

Acquired a Mophie battery case for the G4 which shipped quickly:  http://www.mophie.com/shop/smartphones/juice-pack-lg-g4

Tested it in the early morning hours  for RSRP and bandwidth compared to a clear LION case and no case (none).

Here are the results with the best and worse samples removed out of 5 or six samples each:

Averages Horizontal Down Up    Vertical Down Up 

clear               35.4 11.3           19.5 3.4

mophie              18.1  1.9           19.0 3.1

none                27.2 11.4           16.6 2.2

I was charging the phone and found that the top line showing the -RSRP was infrequently shown. I was also curious about the phone held at 45 degrees away from the user. So here are the next mornings results without charging cable attached and three RSRP samples used for each:

Case Average Horiz RSRP Down Up  45 RSRP Down Up  Vert RSRP Down Up 

clear            -104.3 30.6 6.2  -106.3 27.3 4.9    -105.0 19.4 3.3

mophie           -105.0 25.5 2.7  -106.7 24.3 3.1    -103.0 30.0 4.4

none             -105.3 24.2 6.7  -106.0 28.5 5.6    -105.3 18.1 2.4

Much of the difference between the two sets of data is due to small sample size and somewhat data starved Clear B41 on a Microwave ring.

The interesting take-aways are the clear Lion case seems to improve performance except at 45 degree angle and the Mophie does best while not charging in the vertical position.

I will retest the charging versus not charging variations with the mophie.

NB: to be scientifically valid I would need a much larger sample size of 30 to 50 with the other variables controlled.

The latest system update does not appear to affect other special functions.

I got the ZV5 update last night. Anyone know what has changed? Notice a difference?

It lists that the ability to lock down your phone in case of theft has been improved (see above for exact wording).

I've noticed around the construction areas on 270 west to 33 that I drop calls and loose LTE signal on my i6. Anyone else do the same?

Was fine for me a few days ago.
