I'm seeing B41 in the southern part of Hickory, NC on occasion. According to Signal Check Pro, It is coming from the tower at Exit 126 right off of I-40.
-
Nobody will see the back when I put a protective case on it. So to me, using metal is really not important. I guess to others, it is.
-
Well that is a huge mistake on HTC's part. I figured Qi was a Google requirement on Nexus devices.
-
I'd like to know about LTE bands and whether or not it supports Qi Wireless Charging.
-
I thought that the SIM was only used for LTE. 1X/eHRPD is still connecting to Sprint. Try calling 611 and see if it's Verizon or Sprint.
-
The App State students will be very happy with both! I have been looking on the Catawba County Permit site for any Sprint activity and so far, nothing new since earlier this year with some generators being replaced. We aren't to the point of absolutely needing B41, but it would be nice to help ease the burden off of B25 for Single Band LTE customers.
-
So no B26 near Disney World/Kissimmee or does that area have it?
-
B26 LTE is starting to light up around Catawba County. LTE Discovery logs show it started popping up around October 3rd, 2014. It's just in time too! Since the iPhone 6 launched, B25 LTE has slowed to less than 3Mb/s during peak times. Hopefully it won't take long for Sprint to optimize the sites and get power increased so we get some decent in-building coverage. Valley Hills Mall always falls back to 3G on Carolina West Wireless.
-
Thanks for the clarification and insight. I am hopeful that optimization will help with the dead zones with the deployment of B26. Hopefully this area will see something soon.

I often wonder if 1 antenna per sector is enough to properly cover service areas where tower/site spacing is poor. Without adjacent sites to fill in the holes, it causes too many low/no signal areas. If there were two panels per sector, they could cover six different directions from one site, thus the user experience would be significantly better. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Sprint will improve in NC, especially in the foothills areas. I cannot stand the thought of switching to Verizon, but I may need to if things don't improve in the next 2 years.

The only thing that bothers me about the Quick Circle Wireless Charging Case is that it offers no protection for the edges of the screen. This morning, my fiancee accidentally dropped her G3 w/QC case w/Qi charging off of the bed and it cracked the screen on the lower left-hand corner causing much of the digitizer to stop working. Thank goodness for Squaretrade protection. They are sending her a replacement phone ($75 deductible), but it will take until Friday to get one as they do not have one in-stock. She's now back on and hating her iPhone 4. That iPhone is the biggest POS ever. To prevent this from happening again, I'm going to get her a case that offers real protection, such as a Seidio Dilex w/Kickstand or, if she insists, an Otterbox.

Done and Done (two Twitter accounts).

This is an interesting turn of events and I think there is going to be a different announcement, such as a network sharing agreement with T-Mobile and possibly Dish getting involved. Is there an easy to understand "How To" for buying shares online? I've been wanting to get at least $1,000 worth of Sprint, just to get my feet wet, but have no idea where to start online . I know fees are involved, but which one will cost me the least in fees and such? Is E*Trade good? Scottrade?
-
Because the Sprint isn't SVLTE (Simultaneous Voice and LTE) capable, though the Verizon LG G3 is. I'll admit, I am jealous of that feature on my GF's LG G3.
-
I'm thinking the B41 site you were connected to hasn't had its backhaul upgraded yet. Still, that is more than enough to do most anything on a Smartphone. Plenty of upstream data for an HD quality Video Hangout, Skype, whatever.

Go to Settings > Language & Input > LG Keyboard (Settings *gear icon*) > Keyboard height and layout > Bottom row keys. The picture of the bottom row of the keyboard can be manipulated by dragging and dropping things around up there. You can change the one key to be Keyboard settings, the Microphone, Handwriting or Clip Tray.

Happens on mine all of the time. The phone's receive antenna seems to be directional. Sitting in my couch, as soon as I point the front or back of the phone toward the Sprint tower/site, I gain about 10db. My signal is constanly bouncing up and down and my Nexus 5 never does that. It drives me nuts that I am only .45 mi from the Sprint site and my signal is regularly -98 to -102dBm. That is I-40 on the right side of the image. While on a call, has anyone noticed pulses or faint ticking noise in the earpiece? It is driving me crazy, even though it is very faint. Sometimes I have to mash the phone to my ear to hear Verizon users due to their crappy voice codec/compression. I hate to do an exchange, but I think I will be hitting up Best Buy tomorrow to do just that.

"On the coverage front, we’re leveraging our tri-band spectrum position to use 1.9GHz FDD-LTE for broad market coverage, 800MHz FDD-LTE for in-building coverage, and 2.5GHz TDD- LTE for coverage in dense urban markets." I believe it has been said here that almost all Sprint sites will receive B41 as part of NV 2.0, but this wording from John Saw seems to contradict that.
-
I sure did. I think it is my Seidio Surface case that has only a very small opening for the IR emitter. I was finally able to get it to work. I didn't realize I had to keep pushing down on the buttons. Previously, I was only trying a single tap thinking I could get the power or volume to work. I could only use it within 6 feet of an LG TV at work today. I had to press down continuously on the on-screen buttons for it to work and the beam is very narrow and I had to aim my phone down slightly. I hate taking my case off to try it, but I may just break down and do that today.
-
Are you running ART or Dalvik runtime?
-
Has anyone successfully used the LG QuickRemote app to control a TV or other electronics device with the built-in IR emitter? I've tried four different TV's and it doesn't work at all. I wonder if the IR emitter on the top of my G3 is defective. I'm also running ART, so I'm not sure if that would make a difference. Thanks!

I couldn't think of a better way to spend my Birthday evening! I look forward to attending. -
Interesting. I ran my G3 and my Nexus 5 (KitKat 4.4.4 ".16" radio) side by side on the way home from work today and they both seemed to drop LTE and pick it up within 10 seconds of each other. I was running SCP with the audible alerts turned on. The radios perform almost identically. Now the Nexus 5 with the old .17 radio is a different story. B25 LTE holds on so much better with .17 on my Nexus 5.
-
When on a phone call, Is anyone hearing a dull noise or buzzing in the earpiece that stops when you start speaking? It almost sounds like RF interference of some kind. This happens on 1X and 1X800.
-
Similar situation here, but on B25. I am not happy with my G3 at this point. I guess I was spoiled by my Nexus 5. Have you noticed your signal levels bouncing like crazy? At home, where I look out the window and see the tower, I used to get B25 LTE @ -78 to -85 on my Nexus 5. Now I get -89 to -101. It is constantly bouncing high to low, low to high. Perhaps it is jumping between sectors, but my Nexus 5 wouldn't do it as often. I'm wondering if my G3 is defective
