Sprint is rolling out a new network Nationwide. How's it going in your area? We all have Spark devices. Who's getting to make the most of them? Who's left out? What PRL are you on?

Got any tips to improve RF performance?

www.s4gru.com

This site has ALL the latest updates about the upgrades in your area. It is quite useful for Sprinters.

Im picking up bands 25, 26, and 41. Prl 55019. Getting 33.5 mbps at best. Can't complain but I'd sure like to see some 70+ speeds that the Florida guys are posting.

I am in Florida and will post some tests tomorrow. I love in a spotty area but work in some strong speeds. I did download a movie the other day and had 1.2GB in about 10min.
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
I'm in Denver with NV tower upgrades around the metro area like 99% complete, but waiting on fiber backhaul to it sounds like over 50% of them. I can say this phone is a pretty good RF performer overall. The network just hasn't caught up with it here. My 3G is just blazing fast compared to the 2 years I spent on the S3. The new network is amazing. Just coming along amazingly slow for a lot of us.

Sadly true, although I have very few complaints about LTE here.

That said, do we have any idea, approximate or otherwise, when Spark is coming to various locations?
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
Check the website in the OP for all the latest updates in your specific area. It's got the best information for the rollout of the new network available.

Tampa/St Pete Florida area has a lot of Spark coverage. Getting Spark in places I wouldn't get LTE with my EVO.. although I think we were one of the first markets they started upgrading. Haven't really done any speed tests but when its on Spark it feels like WIFI.
[Sprint LG G3] thunder1979:
Addison, Texas +70 Mbps down. I have no idea how to verify bands in use though.

I will say this phone rock though. I came from its granddaddy the Optimus G which was awesome when it came out, but gets smoked by the G3
[Sprint LG G3] cervantesmx:
Hello all. I'm in Austin TX. Spark has radically changed my experience with Sprint. I was an unsatisfied customer because for the most part, on my previous Galaxy Nexus, I would hardly ever get reliable LTE. No LTE at home, not even 1 bar. Same at work, no part of the building, nada. No LTE.

Fast forward to me on my LG G3, now it seems I have LTE with Spark in most places and at reliable speeds (~15mbps down) This also includes my home and work! Where before as I mentioned, I had no LTE at all! I am very happy with my LG G3, even more with Spark.

I have attached a screenshot of a Speedtest I just took sitting on my chair, the same chair I've sat with my Galaxy Nexus in the past and never got a single bar of LTE. The speed may not break any records, but do note the stability and ping of the connection throughout the test. It is exemplary in my experience as a Sprint customer.

I'm on PRL 55019 and band 26 here at home.

Thanks for the info!

Looks lime band 41 and PRL 55019
[Sprint LG G3] menissalt:
Band 26

PRL 55019

My last speed test showed ~11 down and 6 up. Better than the old LTE, but nowhere near what I was expecting. I'm assuming that it's in early stages out here.
[Sprint LG G3] Epix4G:
No band 26 is 800mhz the spectrum from Nextel and will never be as fast as band 41 which is 2500mhz.

But band 26 will travel lots further from the tower vs band 41 and 25

I hate that the spark symbol shows up regardless of what band you are connected to.. I still haven't seen spark at UF, aka Gainesville, FL
[Sprint LG G3] aurena:
LOL, 8T8R antenna's are already live in a few places, and are going up as we speak @ breakneck speeds. Since backhaul is not a major issue any longer these new sites will go live a hell of alot quicker than your typical 3G to LTE site, and yes they do support LTE-A, sprint will also use Carrier Aggregation with in a few months. I expect the first devices to support CA to be around very very soon (within 6 months) and those 150mb sec speeds by around Nov-Dec.

[Sprint LG G3] Koroz:
do you work for sprint? I ask because this is close to the canned response I get anytime I complain about my service area north of Tacoma, south of Seattle. I have been with sprint now for 3 years and every 5 months I call and complain and get told "upgrades are right around the corner" If you happen to be a network engineer with them though, instead of a CSR who just wants me off the line would make me feel a lot better. We have been promised LTE updated towers in this area forever and I STILL get under 1-2Mbps and under 800K up. Thanks ahead of time for response!
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
If you go to the website in the OP you can get all the info you're looking for and a lot more. It's THE place to go for Sprint Network news anywhere in the country. They will have your market info there for sure.

I'm in Dallas (Frisco to be exact), in a "Turbo" area. PRL Version: 55019. I am lucky to get 1 bar inside or outside. It has been this way for 6+ months even on regular LTE. (I was using HTC One M7 before this). According to sprint coverage maps, I have blanket coverage of Spark (Turbo), LTE (Best), and Wimax (Best). I don't understand what's going on...but so far fastest download speeds on Spark have been 3mbps outside. Very :mad:

I have Spark in Philadelphia and it works alot better than regular LTE thankfully. a little faster and more reliable. But my question is this. With my Note 3 I was able to be on a phone call and still browse the web and use the internet. with the LG G3 I am not. Any one know why that is and if you think there will ever be a way to get that done? Thanks
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
There is only one radio for all network communication. The only way to surf and talk is to be on wifi since wifi has its own radio.
[Sprint LG G3] yellowman82:
Yup this ^ until VoLTE is ready since sprint already partnered up with a company there just no eta on when exactly will it be ready.

Just got my g3, how can i tell what band I'm on?
[Sprint LG G3] yellowman82:
##Debug# then go to lte engineering you will see what band your on.
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
There is an app called Signal Check (Pro) in the playstore. It will give you that info without dialing codes. It will even keep it in status bar for you so you can tell anytime. Just another option.
[Sprint LG G3] MrTonyToca:
That really sucks, being as though my Galaxy Note 3 did it with no problem... :eek:
[Sprint LG G3] yellowman82:
Yea but the note 3 wasn't tri band and had it's separate radios, all tri band phone at the moment wont have that feature yet but i'm pretty sure it wont be long.

[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
Sounds like Sprint has competition for TMO. Damnit.
[Sprint LG G3] thunder1979:
That's the very reason my siblings and I got my mom the G3 instead of the Note 3. Just doesn't make sense right now to hamstring yourself with a device that can't access ALL of Sprint's available bands and bandwidth. The funny thing is my sister's S4 is Spark enabled as well as my fiancé's S5. Leaving me wondering why a Spark capable Note 3 wasn't in the works.
[Sprint LG G3] yellowman82:
For you to be getting that much on good signal like that means that tower with band 41 ain't fully optimized.
[Sprint LG G3] hayabusa1300cc:
I took the snapshot right as I left the coverage, it hung right there and conflicted. Tomorrow I'll be in the area stationary and test again.
[Sprint LG G3] Kujila:
I'm near Sprint HQ. Sprint Spark is soooo much faster than the regular LTE I had on my EVO 4G LTE. I was pulling 30 Mbps and 40 Mbps, which I could never do before.

Also I am getting LTE Spark reception in a lot of places my EVO 4G LTE could only use 3G.

So far, color me very impressed.
[Sprint LG G3] hayabusa1300cc:
So is band 41 considered LTE Spark, not band 26?

I don't remember what I have in here take a look and see: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByTvxgaoJXi5aXhXTW9rcWhLdms/edit?usp=sharing

Probably a system and boot image, so make a folder in TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxx/somefolder where xxx is the serial # TWRP creates. If you don't have xxx on the Nabi already make a quick backup of boot only in TWRP so it will create it for you. Extract the contents of the download to the somefolder and restore.

[General Topics] JFalmog:
Most people who use PhoneMyPC love it. Many of us who bought it found out that Google has removed it from the marketplace, forcing us to find new ways to download it to install it onto our new phones. That sucks, and you can't be sure if the apk you're about to download is clean or not. Well maybe some of us can, but I know I can't.

There is good news though, if you want to download it to your new phone (I recently purchased a Nexus 5) you can go to to the Google Play store (play.google.com), on your desktop computer, and search for it there. It will allow you to install it to your new phone. I haven't confirmed if this works for people who haven't already purchased it, but I know it works for those who have. It didn't work when I logged out to try to see if I can find it. If you are looking to buy I believe you can still purchase it from Amazon's marketplace.

Anyways, this is my first post here. I love this forum, I am not a developer but I do appreciate all the help I find on here. I'm sure many of you might have already known about this workaround but there might be somebody like me who needs the help. I figured it's about time I shared.
[AT&T LG G3] redrider54:
Well i ended the day yesterday @ 11pm @ 54% after unplugging @~7am. So i decided to not plug in like normal and woke up today with 52% @ like ~ 10am. Its now 1:20 still going strong @ 37%. Normal usage and sync all on full LTE and on and off WiFi and Bluetooth all day.
[AT&T LG G3] det1988:
Yeah i came from a s4 active where I'd turn off my sync, gps and leave brightness at <5% to get my phone to last all day, but the lg g3 im at 61% brightness with GPS and sync on all the time so far and the battery will definitely last all day. Also in case any one is wondering, i did play games and videos on it for hours at 100% brightness one day to try to get the overheat warning to come up but never did, i guess thats only a problem with the korean models.
[AT&T LG G3] redrider54:
my screen is @ 65%

[AT&T LG G3] conan1600:
Downloaded an app called anycut, created a toggle for knock on
[AT&T LG G3] Kmac_thp:
Why turn knock on off? My battery life has been pretty amazing and Ive turned nothing off but GPS to battery saving. I use Lux for the brightness and thats it. Very impressed with the battery life so far.
[AT&T LG G3] conan1600:
Battery gets better without knock on. I also carry my phone in the carpenter pocket of my pants and turn it on a lot with knock on. You realize even if you dont turn it on though every time you make enough contact to consist of a touch you rev up the cpu? So you can well imagine if you carry your phone screen facing leg for protection that you are chewing through battery pretty good. To each his own.
[AT&T LG G3] Kmac_thp:
Makes sense. I also remember reading someones review who said something similar. The screen kept unlocking in his pocket when wearing shorts. Just not sure Id want to disable a feature that I use a lot.

[AT&T LG G3] drsuse:
are you using greenify?
[AT&T LG G3] biglilsteve:
At 3 days, my G3 wasn't getting exceptional battery life. But now that I've had it for a week and a half, the battery life is insane. It's been getting better every day.

I don't have anything disabled and I am completely stock.

EDIT: I did disable all bloat possible though, same as you.
[AT&T LG G3] jroyjohnson:
Do you have to be rooted in order to use greenify? I can't root this phone due to work.
[AT&T LG G3] abalakersky:
How did you turn off multi tasking?

Thanks,
[AT&T LG G3] sic0048:
Yes. You must root and install the xposed framework to use Greenify.

There might be similar programs out there that don't require root, but I bet they don't work very well. Having administrator privileges would pretty much be a requirement to assure the app could kill off any processes or apps that it needed to. Without root, the app probably will not be very successful in closing things out.
[AT&T LG G3] bkeaver:
my battery life has been getting better. Yesterdays was at 2 1/2 on screen time after 13 1/2 hours off the charger and had like 58% of battery left. Im just rooted and removed carrierIQ. If It stays like this or gets a little better i'll be happy considering its a stock ROM and stock Kernel obviously... so if we can get to a point where custom roms and kernels are possible this will be fantastic!
[AT&T LG G3] _Infamous_:
Lte for over 4 to to hours and WiFi the rest of the time. 30 min call, lots of YouTube,spotify,all apps syncing, Facebook,lots of Google + and lots of browser time. Rooted debloated. I'm happy with results better then my nexus 5 with a custom kernel
[AT&T LG G3] DiamondJay20:
and this is STOCK, only thing I've done is set all games and news apps to not run in the background, disabled some bloat apps. Battery saver only goes on at 20%. Love this phone!
[AT&T LG G3] sailindawg:
Was the phone on standby for most of that time? Your screens shot shows 3.5 hrs SOT, ~30 hours on battery, with about 12% charge left?

No root / no Greenify? What have you turned off & what is your screen brightness? Did you turn off data, gps, WiFi, sync, all google now related programs?

I'm skeptical and curious to know how you had the phone set up and your usage in the time period.
[AT&T LG G3] DiamondJay20:
GPS is ALWAYS on, brightness is 45, I play a lotta games, AB (OG, Seasons, Space), Fish Outta Water, data is nearly always 4G LTE EXCEPT when updating apps, bc I use Wifi for that. Where I live now tho, the reception is amazing for ATT so that could be it. I always close all apps when I can.

Update: I'm on ART.
[AT&T LG G3] sailindawg:
Wow, that is great battery life. The best I can do with my Galaxy S3 is 14 hrs with <2 hrs DOT. I'm rooted, Greenify, control radios with Tasker. I'm using a 2400 mAmp Lemonzero battery.

I'm simply amazed by the battery life of the G3. Maybe time to get rid of the trusty old S3?!

I meant SOT, not DOT. Autofill word suggest : /
[AT&T LG G3] DiamondJay20:
yes, it is time to junk the S3. Thats the phone I junked to buy this. Just unlock it and ebay it with the accesories, and you'll get the 200 bucks I got, which takes care of everything except the sales tax, case/screen-protector for your new baby.

[AT&T LG G3] bkeaver:
looks like you and I are on the same exact schedule. I haven't drained my battery yet although I have came close a time or 2 before I removed carrier IQ and I also had a app that created a huge wakelock but now I have been up since 4am (its 8am now) and just now dropped to 99% with 20 min on screen time.

Download wakelock detector to see if g+ is causing a lot of wakelocks. If it is, then freeze it if you don't use g+ services at all or greenify it.

I too have been chasing the mysterious battery drain issue as of lately. Followed all the posts, disabled a bunch that has already been mentioned in this thread, but no luck. Was going to work my way back down to near stock so I 1st decided to remove extra theming. Removed the G3 tweak box and it seem like everything is right in the world again.

Ordering if all the tweaks I had set was making the kernel work harder. Gonna stay like this for a day or so and see if this is truly my fix.

[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
The problem with the g3 is the way it displays battery level. This is the only device I have ever used that sits at 100% for upwards of 25minutes screen time before dropping. I wonder if it's to show false impressions as people will automatically think their battery life is wonderful. Yet, at least in my case, after 50% it drains much quicker.

This is not false impressionsView attachment 2919564View attachment 2919565
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
Your right, it doesn't drain linearly though. Your stats men nothing against the point I was trying to make. Btw, 4hrs screen time it's nothing to brag about in 2014
[AT&T LG G3] bkeaver:
4 1/2 hour with 42 hours off off the charger and that 15% left I could have squeezed another 30 to 60 minutes out of it is nothing to snuff at so I don't know what your talking about and if I would have used it more that screen time would have been drastically more.
[AT&T LG G3] Kmac_thp:
Interesting. Im having bad battery issues too all the sudden and it seems to have happened AFTER rooting, tweaking, greenifying etc. Before doing all that my battery life was pretty stellar. Froze apps, put GNL on but had to tweak the icon sizes, made changes using tweakbox, uninstalled some apps and now my battery life is terrible. Im also having memory issues too.
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
Remove xposed. Seems like that's a good culprit many times.
[AT&T LG G3] Kmac_thp:
Good to know. That will be my first move I guess. Would that also cause a memory leak? Or is almost no memory left normal?
