Now I'm upset i lost root did update and still no ca plus remembered adaway is a huge reason i like being rooted

Also i turned off auto retrieve to not be vulnerable

I have ca on it says not configured though i have been on many 41 sites in long Island and southern ct and have not seen it active so am wondering if it is my software revision

What version are you on? The most recent one fixes the stage fright bug.... so depends on if you don't mind having that bug or not. Stage fight can turn your phone into a zombie phone under someone else control. Why do you need root? If it's just for tethering there is a method to tether without meeting root

I'm on oe2 right now i don't use many features of root besides debloat but i do eventually want to flash rom when better ones are available and i like being able to edit build prop plus am waiting on xposed

have you check the Sponsor map for colorado to see how far you are from the towers?http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/5624-colorado-nv-maps-and-discussion/

 

CA in *#0011* will say "not configured" until you actually latch on to a CA enabled B41 tower and actively using CA

 

when ##data# say CA is enabled, you should see SCC being listed in ##DEBUG# under LT engineering, when CA is disable there would be no lines for SCC at all.

 

see pic 5 and 6 here

Next SCC information only pop up when the state is connected, when IDLE the SCC seem to be dropped. the RSRP type information on the SCC doesn't seem to show up until you are actively downloading something (large)

 

 

 

Sprint CA is only on B41, there is currently no CA on B25 or B26. I don't know about Denver, but even in Chicago based on my own observation at least 75% of the B41 tower aren't CA enabled yet

Do i need the latest update if i manually enabled ca i live on long Island and commute to ct every day and have not seen any ca yet i just don't want to lose root with no knox trip

My upload hasn't changed much but ping and download have improved i disabled sar back off and set antennas to auto diversity on both ping seemed slightly more consistent by 10 to 20 ms but throughout was no where near as consistent i have gone from average 3 to 5 to 8 to 10 in my bedroom also i now alternate from one to two bars when used to be 0 to 1

And sar back off is real

Still wondering if our phones support mfbi and all lte a phones only transmit on one antenna or so some use mimo on uplink as well

I went from single modulation Layer 16 qam to 64 and 64 fluctuating to 16 and 64 and my dl speed increased to 8 from 5 in my house on b25 also my transmit power didn't go above 22 when it is normally pegged at 23

Also i set to auto diversity and got 8 mb down same upload our phones default to both on lte and umts for some reason

Go to super user and settings then clean up for new version install reboot then try

What is your interest in this? And is this even a Sprint variant Samsung Galaxy S6? If so, three of those seven bands are not relevant to the US. The others are the CCA/RRPP bands, but enabling them is not going to do anything. Sprint has not activated CCA/RRPP roaming, which is controlled network side.

Also in response to changing antenna settings if you go to ##testmenu# in galaxy tools their is a mrd setting that had options for different modes as well not sure if it is just testing or changing them

Also their seems to be alot of bands supported by our hardware i am looking for a way to enable them maybe put phone into dev or eng mode

I have Galaxy Tools 3.18 but don't know how to access the UE settings. What steps do I need to take?

 

Are you able to access the GCF setting to set phone to WCDMA/UMTS?

Their is seperate settings for cdma umts and WiFi however i would assume when lte is transmitting that the other antennas wouldn't be operating as our whole no svdo situation so they wouldn't be pulling signal and i would think it's worth checking if having WiFi enabled causes issues with losing lte which could explain turning off connections optimizer as wifi is 2.4 or 5 so the 2.4 will be attenuated at a close frequency to b41

I found setting to disable it can be set to both primary secondary or diversity if you go to test menu in galaxy tools or i belive through dialer codes you go to ue settings and info

Settings

System

Diversity control

Also for aj as sensitivity is great but transmission is not would it make sense to disable antenna diversity as the secondary antenna will absorb some signal from what i have read can be 5 to 10 db depending on placement

I found out how to unlock sim galaxy tools will allow you to do it use ping pong root and then it is a one click affair in galaxy tools also will have access to real engineering screen and much more

Looking forward to hearing about your results.

Based on my own research & personal experiences, I have concluded that Sprint has the worst domestic unlocking policy & procedure among the Tier 1 carriers. The best one is AT&T, then Verizon, then T-Mobile, and Sprint in last place.

AT&T is easy because they're GSM & use Persos to simply punch in an unlock code - received from AT&T themselves or through an unlocking website.

Verizon is 2nd b/c all their LTE phones are already domestic unlocked out of the box thx to their agreement with the FCC. I popped in my AT&T SIM from my Nexus 5 into my friend's Verizon Note Edge & everything just worked - voice, text, MMS, data (up to HSPA+) after I input the correct APN.

Once T-Mobile gives you the unlock code, you put the code into their unlocking app.

Now Sprint, they will just give you the MSL number and that's it. There is no Persos popup menu.

I was able to perform the international UICC unlock with the MSL, however.

Through modem locking, you cant open the Service Menu to do the correct GSM/WCDMA provisioning. Level 2 Sprint tech support blames lack of training for its inability to provide steps on doing domestic unlock with the MSL code they give you. They also incorrectly blamed Samsung for not having a popup menu when it's Sprint who bought the phones from Samsung then modified it this way themselves.

I have a ticket open with the Samsung Voice Support team who will get back to me next week. I'll report what I find out.

The headache I got from Sprint's technical incompetency is why I'm liking unlocked phones more & more these days. I recently bought an unlocked Note 4 (pink N910C) for my wifey's first Mother's Day present and it's just so easy & frustration-free not having to deal with carrier crap.

How did you do unlock with msl and also if you do ping pong root you won't trip knox and can edit your build prop to enable service menus

For some reason with dfu and cdma workshop i can't get prl to stick i can read phone and read the prl but will not write it i was able to flash corporate prl 56025 on the note 4 no problem i do feel that the stock prl would connect to lte more often but the corporate prl Def allowed true 3g roaming

The 810 supports fdd tdd ca but i guess sprint hasn't enabled it do you think it will be able to be upgraded in future ? Thank you for your time

What about mfbi dies that have to be supported on the phone and does gs6 support i just returned my note 4 and got a second galaxy s6 i an wondering if i should have kept the note 4 as it seems to have been better with upload speeds on lte i just hated no roaming bands or ca but if mfbi is network side only i really well kick myself as 26 and 25 are supersets of other bands. I also am assuming if it is going to be a long time away 25 41 ca is not on msm 9635 and only the 810 supports this feature. I do like the note 4 and i guess stronger cat4 is better than weaker cat6 especially if it really won't come into play for at least a year but i get very indecisive and love the gs6 but note battery life is great as well

Also last question how is everyone seeing their tx power as my phone shows everything but that on note and gs6 when on the engineering screen from *#0011#

My question is then even before update i noticed that my s6 will go to b41 when my note 4 will stay on b25 or 26 and before update had better signal on 41 or any band than note 4 but we know transmission power is low however at this point that doesn't seem to be a factor in connecting to b41 sites however i do notice if i am browsing it is fine but during speed test runs it will switch to b25 or 26 in middle of upload as i am on fringe of b41 i even had a m9 for couple of days which wouldn't connect to b41 at my house meanwhile i can walk inside with gs6 hold b41 if by front door or window until i try and use any data. Now my real question that will make all this important is apparently gs6 is very sensitive as far as reception so if it supports cross carrier aggregation for b26 or 25 and 41 then these phones will be amazing as it seems that current tower signal levels are already at the point where gs6 runs out of tx power way before signal becomes weak on rx end

You are missing my point. The update may have just inflated the RSRP figures -- as many claimed the .15 baseband firmware did on the Nexus 5. That only means higher numbers, not necessarily stronger signal. Unfortunately, we really have no way to judge this objectively without expensive diagnostic equipment. So, real world testing in fringe coverage and low signal locations is our best substitute for objective RF performance testing.

Does the galaxy s6 support carrier aggregation across ltt/fdd or only one or other and also does it support mfbi or that is a network side feature
