Well that's only if Netflix palmed your ISP a c-note!

There have been plenty of posts on various market threads showing 75+ mbps download speeds on band 41. Also, what in the heck are you going to need that much bandwidth for on your cellphone. The most bandwidth intensive task for a phone is streaming video. Here is all you need for Netflix: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/306

I believe it may have enabled full 3G roaming on Verizon and other regional carriers depending on your location.

I believe that the current iPhone 5c and 5s support many of the bands and actually lists some of the signed carriers on the supported LTE Network page that use the same Sprint models: https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/

To be honest if I were single in NY and had that time to blow then yeah I'd probably be there too.

Be honest, how many of you guys are in this line already: http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/03/campers-waiting-for-iphone-6/

I don't disagree that someone who is spending any extra on roaming charges should reevaluate their provider. And I guess I'm coming at this at the wrong angle since I'm on an old plan where there is a hard cap and no overage charge. However $50 overage charge, regardless of maximum or not, would be a shock to me.

I tend to agree with most of your responses to posts but this time I do not. "Bill shock" is not necessarily related to your monthly income. If you were on a say a $45 plan and all the sudden your roaming charge is more than your base plan cost, I would say that would be shocking. As well, to claim that on one hand a $50 extra charge is not substantial and on the other hand state that $10 - $20 a month savings is sounds contradictory to me. That's just my opinion.

Unfortunately BG operates on LTE bands that most of the current Sprint phones do not support. I had a back and for with AJ on this and he educated me on the on what the circumstances would have to be: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/5684-sprint-to-join-rural-operators-roaming-hub-cca-and-rrpp-thread/page-14&do=findComment&comment=337405 Read on down to the last couple of posts from AJ to me about this.

PRL 51102 on a LG G2. I saw posts in the Sprint PRL thread where people were getting 3G roaming on Verizon and decided to test at a location I always roam on BG and sure enough I was pulling down 2.3+ mbps and Signal Check showed CMDA instead of 1xRTT as it normally would. I know BG is looking into the Roaming Hub so who knows roaming on BG LTE might happen!

FYI latest round of PRL updates for some phones have enabled real 3G roaming on Bluegrass Cellular. I think is a good thing for our market if you just want to check email or Facebook or download SMS attachments and in my IMO greatly increases Sprint coverage. However mind your data roaming limits.

Really? Awesome!

I think the setting change worked for me and I am not seeing any adverse effect on my battery. The places I went yesterday I was consistently connecting to LTE without having to flip airplane mode. Even at my house my phone is ignoring the airave and connecting to LTE and CDMA 800 again. This setting must have been inadvertently changed with the update. Hopefully they with the next update LG fixes the issue for general users who don't know how to change the setting.

Really? I guess that make sense because all the IDs are related to CDMA sites. Well they grossly mislabeled the list IMO [emoji6]

I've been checking out the LTE Available list on my LG G2 ever since I got the ZVD update and tonight I actually noticed the following: SID: 1280 BID: 2 BASE_ID: 6050 I tracked down the SID on the http://www.roamingzone.com website found it was assigned to Bluegrass Cellular. So I exported my SCP logs and found a CDMA entry for the SID/BID/Base ID and sure enough its the Bluegrass Cellular tower within site of my house! I know Bluegrass utilizes 700 MHZ LTE, but I'm pretty sure the LG G2 does not support 700 MHZ. Is this something significant (like Bluegrass deploying 800/850 or 1900 LTE or some other band my phone supports or only a fluke?

Cross your fingers but I think this might actually solve the issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g2/general/fix-lte-issues-zvd-t2839374 This is different than adjusting the LTE scan timer. And when i went to set it 3 was actually the prepopulated value and not the 3000 shown as the current value. I would be curious to know the value of the bsr timer prior to the ZVD update. I saw a screen capture of another phones data engineering screen and it showed 3 for the bsr timer. I will be doing driving around today so I will see how it behaves switching from 3G to LTE.

By chance are you using an airave where you are receiving your calls?

Any news from your flash? My phone still seems to prefer 3G over LTE.

Google is awesome.

This makes sense. The legacy panels have been removed so either they need to paint or need to sure up the supports at the top of the tower to support the new panels.

One of the main towers that supplies service to my home is a GMO water tower site. About 6 months ago the ground mounted RRUs and new cabinets were installed and the site was operational. About 3-4 weeks ago the site was completely down again for a bit (not showing up on SCP) but about 2 weeks ago it came back online. I drove by the site and noticed a temporary tower on a trailer was stood up with cables attached to huge concrete blocks anchoring it down. Has anyone else seen such a temporary setup and would this be needed to convert a GMO to a full build?

Well it's been over a month since someone last posted in this thread. No news could be good news meaning that since this market is almost complete with 3G NV and close for LTE no one has any new site info or anything to complain about. I guess our next watch will be for those fancy B41 NSN setups to start popping up in the next year.

Are you talking about text in a browser? I use Chrome and it spaces text just fine and that is not phone specific.

I can wait and thanks for the heads up.

I tried setting the LTE timing as well and didn't help me. I'm almost wondering if a factory reset is in order.
