Okay so I have dealt with this for awhile, and I thought I would see if anyone else experiences it. I have a Nexus 5 with SignalCheck Pro running in the background at all times. Whenever I am on a phone call for awhile (more than 5 minutes), upon ending the call SCP sort of tweaks out and it shows 1x and numbers fluctuating extremely fast even though I am back on LTE. If I try to open the app, it will just sit there with a black screen until I hit the home button to back out of the app. I typically have to force stop the service and process and restart it to get everything working again. Is this something others experience with a N5? I never had this issue on my G2. Anyone that has had this occur, did you fix it? If so, how? If it turns out I am the first one to report this, I will try to take a video of it on my old G2 and post it here for others to see. -
Hey it wasn't me! Have to hate people out there that bring down a perfectly fine name.
-
Anything special that we should have to do to get SignalCheck working on L with the new update? I just restored a backup of L on my N5 and updated SCP, and it still forces a restart upon opening.
-
Yeah... But if it results in fantastic RF performance, I won't care one bit. I wish every OEM made RF performance the #1 priority because if we get crappy reception it pretty much turns your phone into an iPod.

I had that with an iPad Air I bought from Sprint. I went into a Sprint store and got it exchanged in under 10 minutes. They should easily replace it.
-
Yeah it works with the ZVD radio, but no Knock code as mrrogers1 points out. I would've never used knock code though so it doesn't bother me.
-
I just installed the Mahdi ROM on my G2 with ZVD. Love the Nexus feel to it with the added customizations. Anyone in the mood to try something new, I'd give it a shot.

Completely agree. Around where I live, in a town of approx. 13,000, B25 and B26 are active and the data speeds are great. Consistently 20-30 down and 6-10 up. Now in the metro area that I work, where B25 and B26 are also active, we could definitely use B41. The network gets a little bogged down during business hours downtown, but it recovers quickly in the late afternoon/early evening time frame. While I would like to see B41 at my home site this year, I completely understand that the goal should be to get them active in the metro areas. At some point every site will get B41 so I can wait and let the areas that need it get it first.

Quick question for you. I also put a T-Mobile prepaid SIM in my N5 for a couple weeks (while going back to my G2 on Sprint). I had a very difficult time getting the N5 to properly activate on Sprint afterwords. Did you have a similar experience? When the handset finally did activate (after several profile updates and reboots), I didn't have any LTE data. The signal was there but no throughput. Luckily, I had a EFS backup from a month or two ago and that patched things up.

Non-G-Block PCS LTE Carriers
uecker87 replied to dmchssc's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
I wanted to bounce something off of you guys. Here in WI, Airadigm was sold to USCC (technically sold to themselves since both are owned by TDS), and it has been known that USCC intends to shutdown Airadigm's GSM network in September and sell off some assets that it doesn't want/need. Airadigm owns the PCS C Block (1895-1910 and 1975-1990). USCC is in pretty good shape in MOST of the areas that they have this spectrum (A and B block 700mhz and the cellular A block, some PCS and AWS). What do you guys think are the chances that USCC would maybe be looking into selling that spectrum to Sprint? Do you think Sprint would be interested in such spectrum given the limited geographical reach of it? It literally is only about 2/3 of WI and the northeastern portions of IA. Just a thought. Or maybe USCC puts the spectrum to use with LTE and they start their LTE roaming deal with Sprint (and have it be treated as native ) -
Sprint to join Rural Operators Roaming Hub (CCA and RRPP thread)
uecker87 replied to marioc21's topic in General Topics
So with the newest system update with the LG G2 it has a new selection in the ##DATA# hidden menu called LTE Available List which lists SID, NID, and BASE_ID's for all sites that it has found LTE from. I looked around through this log and noticed that there are some with a SID of 5, which corresponds to US Cellular. It appears that the phone is noticing the LTE, but isn't authenticating? Could be a sign of things to come? Screenshots and proof below:

So out of everyone here planning to get an iPhone 6 --- If the specs are the same, which size do you plan to pick up? The 4.7" or 5.5"? I am thinking about scooping up this phone whenever it comes out. 2/3rds of the way into the Apple ecosystem with my iPad and MBPr. I am definitely leaning towards the 4.7". I have both the G2 and the Nexus 5 and the G2 is about as big as I would ever want to go. The 4.7" seems like a good compromise between the N5 and my old work iPhone 4s (god, that was way too small for easy web browsing).
-
Now you got me all excited... Grrr... Never embedded a video. Work in progress. Edit: Figured it out.
-
The last two updates went as follows: ZVC - Source Code Released 3/25 (Tues) -> Roll out started 3/31 (Mon) ZVA - Source Code Released 1/24 (Fri) -> Roll out started 1/27 (Mon) I hope it is tomorrow. Would give me an excuse to switch back to my G2 for awhile.
-
Based on the previous updates, we are probably looking at early next week for it to start rolling out.
-
Thanks! Come on... Be a RF beast in B26 and B41!
-
I'm at work and don't have my G2 around... Is that different than ZVC(or B as Sprint likes to say...)?
-
You guys will have to let me know if there is a new radio with the update. I have been using my N5 since buying it, but with the latest N5 radio the RF performance is about on par with the G2. Any noticeable improvement in RF might get me to switch back to the G2 and sell my N5 now that I know how to customize phones a little better.
-
I have... Seems roughly the same as the 2.16 radio.
-
Ahh that makes sense. With the newer radios, the N5 is about equal to the G2. The .17 radio gives me better coverage on B25 than the newest radio does on B26.
-
Very nice for B25... I will be VERY interested in how the two compare with B26! Can't wait to see that tonight . The G2 is currently about the same as the N5 on its newest radio... Looks like we may have a new RF champ.

Sprint to join Rural Operators Roaming Hub (CCA and RRPP thread)
uecker87 replied to marioc21's topic in General Topics
Sadly, I have to agree with you. I am sure they will work out some sort of agreement with them, but I think it will be as just a CCA member. I would be satisfied with a 500MB - 1GB roaming allotment with them though. I'm still hoping for them to be a RRPP member though. USCC coverage treated as native would be great around here. Also, it would give Sprint an instant upgrade in LTE coverage in many areas the day they start it up compared to a lot of these RRPP members that won't have strong LTE networks for awhile. -
I had that when I first activated my G2 after receiving it in the mail. The issue was that I never went all the way through self activation. I had data and could use it, but I never let it install all of the Sprint bloatware. If I was you, I would give the self activation a try again (and if that doesn't work, try the good ol' update profile). Completely painless, and it might save you a trip to a Sprint store.

I am pretty excited for this phone to get released... Having an iPad and a MBPr, I could definitely use an iPhone as my daily driver so everything is available for me at all times. I went with Android when joining Sprint just for the tri-band LTE. If this has B41, which it should, I will probably be going with the 4.7" variant. Anyone have any comparisons with the 5S and the iPad Air in terms of RF performance? I have the cellular version of the iPad Air and it gets the same or even better LTE connectivity than my Nexus 5 does on the .15 radio. (Probably worse on B25... Unable to get to any engineering screens) I feel like the iPad must be pretty strong in B26 though, which is probably the most important at this moment. Basically, if the 6 can pull in LTE in places my iPad Air does and has B41, I will be a very happy camper.

I had this last week, but it was caused by network issues. Pretty much the whole state of WI was having some sort of network problem which caused no one to have any service at all for about an hour. However, I do not think this is what you are experiencing because if it was anything on the network side, it should've been resolved by now. If you have a custom recovery, you could backup your phone and then save it on a PC before factory resetting. This way, you can always flash back to your backup if the factory reset doesn't fix your problems.
