LG G2 Users Thread! · August 5, 2014

Unfortunately the issue is real. I switched to LTE/CDMA for my network mode and that seemed to help a bit but still not back to what it used to be before the update. It almost seems like they messed with the priority and have the phone connect to and stay on 3G if its any amount of a stronger signal than LTE.

Clear the app data for the sprint zone app. Problem solved. Or should be. I've seen it fix the issue before.

I checked it again today and it no longer shows it as requiring an update. Thanks.

There is an update for Sprint Zone, the app.

I got the Sprint Zone update already. Attached is what I see.

Have you ever rooted before? I wonder if it's not installing if you have a previous record of root installed.

No never rooted.

Thanks for confirming. I have a flashable ZVD modem zip but wasn't sure if I should post it.

Thing is, the filesize is different than ZVC, whether it's a separate partition changed or what. The baseband is the same number.

I wonder why LG didn't release the OTA with an updated baseband?

What's even more curious is that the Sprint Zone app is telling me that I need to "Update Now" even though it shows the current ZVD build number. Wonder if that has to do with the incorrect baseband.

Same here as well.

LG G2 Users Thread! · August 2, 2014

FYI regarding the ZVD issue with switching back to LTE from 3G, I decided to switch my network mode from global to LTE/CDMA and it seems a bit better. In some areas I was at today it still took a while to switch over to LTE. I'm going to adjust the LTE scan timer again and see if that gets it back to normal.

LG G2 Users Thread! · August 2, 2014

That's what mine does. But when I travel to an area that I previously had great LTE signal strength it will just stay on 3G until I cycle airplane mode. General users are not going to know to do this and will try to blame Sprint for it.

LG G2 Users Thread! · August 2, 2014

Add me to the list as well. I have to airplane toggle to regain LTE, no matter how long I wait or how strong a LTE signal area I've moved into.

Just sent the G2 back to LG today for a GPS that never works. Hopefully they can find the issue, fix it and return it in a reasonable time.

I'm experiencing the same issue. After the update my phone almost acts like its afraid of LTE. Even seems to connect to 800 CDMA less as well. I've tried updating my profile and the LTE scan timer trick to no avail. [emoji27][emoji24]

If you use the note feature in SCP, it will show the same note for all bands coming from that tower.

Yeah I figured that one out when I named the other B26 tower I previously logged at my house. SCP logged the new B26 hit with no name. That's how I figured out it was new. I live in the sticks so I'm very pleased I'm receiving B26 from 2 different towers.

July 18, 2014

Thanks! My SCP logs show a new B26 entry at my house and I'm just curious if it came from a tower that previously logged B25.

July 18, 2014

I apologize if this has already been asked before but can the GCI/PCI/TAC codes be used to determine if B25 and B26 is coming from the same tower?

I do so sparingly. But when I do, it is a real show of respect for a top notch post.

I do not always like posts. But when I do, I really mean it.

I am very interested in Bluegrass Cellular's involvement in this. Where I live in Central Kentucky they have a huge LTE presence and curiously enough the iPhone 5S model used for Sprint is the same model listed on Apple's site that supports Bluegrass Cellular for supported LTE and not the Verizon model.

It would be nice if Sprint and BC executed a roaming agreement and hopefully would only require a iPhone update to allow for roaming.

July 11, 2014

Like I said, stupid question.

I suppose once the roaming agreements are in place we will have a better understanding of what bands Sprint will be roaming on and then be able to match up current device capabilities with those bands.

July 11, 2014

OK stupid question time.

I've skimmed through pretty much all the entries on this thread and have seen some mentioning of requiring new devices in order to support Band 12 and maybe a few other bands, but lets say RRPP members and Sprint switch on LTE roaming today. I'm sure its dependent upon the LTE setup of each of the RRPP members, but what current devices, if any, would be able to take advantage of the roaming?

CDMA 1x800 is now public throughout most of the state.

Yeah well I don't get out much. Only one tower that my phone has detected it on between Louisville and Hardin county area. But i believe I've read somewhere on this forum that most phones still favor 1900 cdma over 800 cdma.
