Sprint to join Rural Operators Roaming Hub (CCA and RRPP thread)
uecker87 replied to marioc21's topic in General Topics
Yeah I'm waiting for that day... LTE roaming here in Wisconsin would pretty much make it so there is LTE everywhere. Just hoping they do something with the roaming data caps for everyone in the hub. -
I completely understand Robert. I was unsure of the rules so I messaged COZisBack for clarification after posting (I will admit I should've asked first). I apologize for putting some information out there. Milwaukee market members -- Go Premier!!! I'm in the process of trying to build a Milwaukee B26 map for the Premier Sponsor forums (and probably, eventually, a B41 map as well). Certainly could use some help as the only areas I frequently visit are in the Madison/Baraboo area.
-
Yeah, I will be checking as well. Seeing as that one has a date of 3/28, I am hoping that a lot more show up in the next permit report. I wish it was on the west side of town... Then I would've started swinging by there on my way home from work to see if anything is being done, but that's a little too far out of my way.
-
A mod took it down... I am not entirely sure as to why since it isn't something where I got the info from a sponsored forum. I found that piece of info myself. Hopefully they will let your post stay here. It is a good sign that B41 might start showing up soon!

Sprint Says It Won’t Take Part in U.S. Airwaves Auction (AWS-3)
uecker87 replied to KD8JBF's topic in General Topics
I found this older topic that looks like at least some of them do. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1382-us-cellular-galaxy-siii-lte-bands/ -
That would do wonders in my area. Definitely gonna give it some more thought. Probably will take the plunge whenever the spark update hits the N5 since there are some B26 sites lighting up on my daily commute. Thanks for the information.
-
So honestly how much better is the RF performance VS the G2 (on LTE)? I've heard conflicting stories. Obviously it is better, but can you give me an approximate real world example (5-10 dBm)? I live on the edge of Sprints coverage and the G2's RF performance seems to get worse with every update. I have been on the fence about outright buying the N5 and keeping my G2 as a backup. My wife seems to break phones quite quickly, so it wouldn't hurt to have an extra lying around, haha.
-
I noticed an additional B26 site on my way home today from Madison. I picked it up on Hwy 12 close to the Hwy 19 intersection by Waunakee. Not entirely sure which site is actually broadcasting it though because it was a rather weak signal and honestly with the propagation of B26 could've been any of the sites on the northern end of the Madison area. Still, another sign of progress!
-
Happy birthday! Thanks again for this site. Awesome information.
-
That's what I tried, but my G2 got stuck every time on "Loading Recovery Mode" and would just sit there. Oh well. At least my phone is nice and clean like the day I bought it! I had a ton of junk on there to clean up anyway. I had my pictures and music backed up.. Just somehow forgot my contacts.
-
Boot-loop? Yeah, I had the same thing. I found instructions on XDA. Search for "LG G2 XDA" then go to G2 General -> LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) Note: It does delete everything... I assume you are aware, but I just wanted to make sure. I used the instructions for AT&T and Sprint which are located a little bit down the first post.
-
When you clear the data and go to check for updates does it show something like "Last Checked for Updates on 12/31/1969"? Again, it took a couple tries for me but it definitely seems to be working for most.
-
I did clear data then tried to get an update... Didn't work the first time, but I repeated it one more time and it was there.
-
Yeah, I certainly wish I had gone the google framework way first. A pain to have to reinstall apps and everything... I even somehow must've forgotten to backup my contacts so this should be fun..
-
Just worked for me too! And they try to lie and say it has no effect. I call BS.
-
Yeah I tried to side load it and got the boot-loop. Ended up restoring to ZV7. Oh well, a learning process. I know how to restore my phone now!
-
So I am having some really big issues trying to boot into recovery so I can sideload this thing. It worked for me before... Anyone recommend any tips? Vol- Down + Power button till LG screens appears then let go and do the same right?
-
Did your install finish? If so do you have any first impressions? If you are in an area with LTE, any RF performance differences?
-
Not entirely sure. Of course I ran across the information in a thread earlier today, but I can't find it for the life of me now... I think I read that it has to be uploaded after the download and before the installation of the update. Maybe? Probably too late anyhow.
-
Do you happen to know how to upload it possibly to someone on XDA? Lets get this show on the road haha. Seems like you were the first to get it.
-
PM'ing you right now with my Framily ID if you are still interested. Currently have 4 on the group, so with 2 more we'd be at $30 per line. Edit: And I have that offer for the $200 prepaid Visa for porting in a number. Be sure to mention that when using my Framily Not sure how that works, but if you can get a little extra money, why not.
-
Yeah, I noticed a 3rd GCI on campus today using SignalCheck, and I drove close to that site on Henry St. and was receiving a very strong LTE signal. I'm not sure if it was that site or the West Washington site that I was receiving B26 from. Had to be one of them though. I was able to rule out the University Ave site on my way home from work.
-
Well, I'm in the Comp Sci building, and I just had a rather weird occurrence. I went down to the basement to check out the signal there, and it was actually higher (-84 dBm)... Sort of has me wondering if it is some sort of a small cell (I couldn't even get 3G down there before). I hope it isn't that though, I would much rather it be the start of the spread of B26 all throughout the area.
-
I know that the N5 still has weird issues trying to get onto B26... But hopefully your friend will be able to verify. Also, I noticed that even though it parks on B25, whenever I need to use data it automatically jumps back to B26 since I have such a weak B25 signal. Overall, lookin good! Oh and it has to either be the University tower or the one on West Washington. I'm by Union South and my 1x typically bounces between the two.
-
Agreed... I certainly hope it's Monday. I was a little anxious for it, but noticed at work that my G2 is picking up some B26 LTE! The B26 has completely taken my focus off of the KitKat update, since it will probably mean more to me than the phone update. Next week should be a good week though!
