Too bad we can't get into DATA yet and force LTE only.

I am curious if they have the ability to interject 3G signal into the determination on Data connections.

Does it always go

25 >> 41 >> 26 >> 3G

or could it go

25 at -80 >> 3G at -70 >> 25 at -100 >> 41 >> 26

Screen shots.... i have all bands enabled. I am not connecting to band 25 at all it seems. My htc one is not connected to lte as i type this. When my htc on has lte the G2 does not, i believe i am connected To band 41not sure how to check tho.

Quickest way would be to just disable band 41 right?

I would go find a spot where your HTC One is connected and your LG G2 is not.

Then I would disable everything except Band 25, restart, PRL Update, Airplane Mode Cycle and see if they both connect and what the signal strength is for both of them.

Did you enable Band 26 and Band 41?
 
Maybe Sprint was already ahead of you on this and you actually are causing the problem?
 
Maybe they made the reception thresholds vary depending on Band settings and by turning on Band 26 and Band 41 you have actually created a problem that wouldn't exist if you had left them disabled, until Band 41 and Band 26 started popping up.

Excellent thought, seems not to line up in reality. I'm sitting in the aforementioned spot where the Note II got LTE, and the G2 does not. Disabled Band 26 and Band 41, rebooted, PRL and Profile updated, Airplaine cycle, and, nothing but EHRPD.

Meanwhile, I'm connected to my MyFi 500 is cruising along on B25, back indoors...

 I would be curious in digiblur's response as well.

I would be curious to see two devices such as the LG OG, S3, or Note2 next to it both connected to LTE. Compare the two LTE screenshots on signal. Something where the two devices have a bit of RF separation but do not have a LOS advantage to the site over one another. That would be the tale right there. Somewhere a 90ish signal would be perfect.

I think the issue becomes unless you are comparing them side by side at the same time any reference to one working and not the other has to be taken with a grain of salt.  There are too many other determining factors in coverage at any given time.

I'm guessing you won't get the gift card code until the product ships.

I read the fine print of the deal, it said within 14 business days.  

Now that could mean 14 business days after it ships.

My wife and I ordered two last night form Best Buy (pretty hard to pass up $100 and $50 gift card).

We didn't have line items stating that there was a gift card on our purchase (we bought separately to ensure we both got gift cards).

Can anyone else confirm that their online purchases didn't have a gift card line item?
