I'm not rooted at all, so hardware is the only way I can do anything right now. By the way, the G2 has a fresh PRL, from 55016 to 60657. I'm not sure, but if I remember right, the iPhone PRL matches this doesn't it? Wasn't 55016 the PRL iPhone had also? Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

As an aside, I did have notification of an update when I woke up during my regular bout of insomnia tonight. Installed it already, so I guess the need to sideload has been postponed for now. Won't be able to get out and see what difference it makes until Thursday, but I still see my signal dropping from 5 bars to none, then back to 5 intermittent. The spreadsheet says this area should be ok, but in an area I've previously mapped great LTE signal with my gs3, I can travel with my LG G2 and never hit LTE at all. Even sometimes cycling airplane doesn't give me anything but e-herpies. Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

You're pretty spot-on. But it's what we do for our family, I'm glad my wife and I are in a position to help her family. They all work, and most likely I'll deed them a small piece of land beside me to put a small trailer on, but not seeing that in the next year or two. With all these folks here, my airave and Sprint referral program has benefited from it....so even Sprint makes more because of my extra household members. Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

I got wife, 4 kids, mom-in-law, dad-in-law, sis-in-law, niece(in law), nephew(in law) all here , under one roof. I used to have lots more time than I do now to learn about extra stuff...But with 11 people here....life is hectic. About my phone...never would boot into it to begin with. Every time I tried, it would just reboot, and I would release volume down+ power soon as I saw the LG logo screen...Still booted to regular start-up. Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

I tried everything to get power+ vol down to boot me into recovery so I could sideload it...Just wouldn't go. I downloaded the modem alone and the full update, planned on doing the full update though. Just doesn't want to cooperate with me. Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

Does it matter if you download + adb sideload the modem alone, or the entire update...anything beneficial in the update (since the modem is what, 25mb and the update is 110mb?) I meant, subsections like other devices...I think everything is kinda thrown in the General section at this point from what I could see. The day the update was first announced here, I hit XDA several times and the newest threads had no mention of it at all.

I haven't looked around much, xda is kinda confusing on the Sprint section for G2 --if I'm not mistaken they don't have a Sprint section for it there...But last time I was there I didn't see where anyone had posted the zv8 update. Maybe they'll organize it a little better as dev for Sprint variant of G2 ramps up. Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

I, for some reason thought that being in a strong voice roaming area would have a lower threshold before dumping an unusable native data connection. I guess hanging on to unusable data they own is better business than switching to roaming data they have to pay extra for. I know you've done some extensive PRL work, do you think this will change as 800LTE becomes more prevalent? Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

Things have been quiet in my immediate area lately...tho Birmingham is sure becoming pretty well covered from what my travels around show. I'm guessing a mix of GMO and backhaul vendors dragging their feet is causing Sylacauga/Childersburg/surrounding to fall to the wayside. I'm betting AT&T owns most of the fiber loops around here, with charter probably being thrown in somewhere below AT&T. Hope something pops up soon around here so I can play with a new band or two.

I personally never seen anything related to it until now, never been involved in a thread where it was mentioned until now, and really can't put anymore time than I already do into trying to read and get caught up on things. If I had seen or known of it then I would not have asked. Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

Aren't they both the MSM8974...??? Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

Sorry, AJ, when my brother passed away back in October, I lost touch of everything when it comes to the new phones, the tri-band setup, and the carrier fallback stuff. I've been trying to play catchup going on 2 weeks now. Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

I'm trying to figure if this is correct on the data and voice connections....roaming voice but ehrpd? Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

You guys and your flashing moods. Make sure you use a good mood, flash a bad mood and your phone will PMS every month. Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

The best analogy I can use in this scenario is this...imagine you got a Intel core i3 processor. Intel can't send you a driver to update that processor to a core i7. Why? Because the hardware just isn't there. Same goes for making a phone tri-band that isn't...The hardware isn't inside phone. Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

Is there something that can be done to the Sprint variant to make it capable of qi charging? Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

The HTC one isn't tri-band as it was released back in, what, March or so? No radios to pick up the band 26 and 41 LTE. Only band 25/1900 LTE. On another note, anyone know if the HTC One is capable of qi charging? Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk

I tried installing the LG mobile update tool the other day, way before this update came out. No luck with it. The closest thing to LS980 they have is the LS970. Usually takes a few weeks before they update the tool, I'm sure the usb driver is already in LG's support personnel hands. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

Also, being near a division in the time zones can cause this...I live near the Georgia line (not so near that this is a problem)...but sometimes if you hit on a tower that's across the state line in Georgia (which is +1hr from Alabama)...it will make the time jump. Granted, it won't be a +6hr jump...but I've seen mine go +1 / -1 now and then.

I hate these carrier fights that cause me to lose channels. Just recently, dish took down our NBC local for nearly two months, and ran their propaganda about the network being the reason....Charlie seems worse than dick(direct) ever was, the amc outage on dish made headlines. And hitting home most recently, they completely took down g4, now I am strictly limited to online resources for gaming shows. Actually I'm thinking when my current sub is up, I'll cut the cord and do Roku and ps4 streaming only. Roku had me in a beta with their newest box, which the beta lasted a couple months but they really took effort in supporting their boxes. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

I noticed the speakerphone was quite low from the first day. My Sammy gs3 was plenty loud and then had extra oomph on the call screen to add some volume to it if you so desired. I hate to have to download an app to boost it. . .But I also haven't got this update yet either. Maybe they are doing it in a location-based rollout, or only certain MSC's at a time.

I would think if it was "Spark" related, we would see the baseband change, as that's the modem ...just a software update so only thing different from my "About" is the software version...from ZV7 to ZV8. Wouldn't the baseband version be different under a Spark updated version? As in, writing new firmware to the modem baseband to enable 26, 41 and the priorities they should be in... I guess it could fall under software update and not touch the baseband...but that would probably mean reception won't change much (fringe LTE ..ceiling levels before dropping from LTE back to 3G, etc).

You are now a developer!

That screenshot is showing the same as my current software version. Either I've already got it without hitting "OK", or it's not ZV7 and is ZV8, and isn't pushed yet...
