Sprint Carrier Aggression? - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Hi. So today sprint just released this for our phones. Is there anyway we can take advantage of this without updating?

What are you talking about?

Whatever you are trying to attach is not coming through.

They released it as an update last Friday I believe or that's when it started rolling out.
Theres an article about it here: http://www.androidauthority.com/sprint-three-carrier-aggregation-galaxy-s7-iphone-7-lg-v20-747283/

Didn't attach anything. Was just saying "this" to your reply, as I agree with you.
But it could be seen as an answer to your question as well, if I had been being a smart A. Since the OP said Sprint released "this" today, then apparently "this" is what he's talking about [emoji1]

Sprint's towers sends out data at different frequencies. Sprint's newer phones can pick up all three of the LTE ones. If you are in an area where all three are broadcasting, your download speeds may increase, as the technology allows data to come in from all 3 frequencies at the same time. I may be a little off, but I think that's the general idea.
Also, its aggregation, not aggression.

Radio Fix

Has it seriously been over a month? I got my nexus on release day and still no radio fix. :Sadface:

Some of us actually have no issues. I know I don't.

My radios seem to work, but the battery life BLOWS. Thus I am hoping for some kind of fix. (maybe it's the radios, maybe it's something else...)

Are you in Canada? A lot of us have had radio issues

Ok sure. I know my old evo and my bro's epic both get 1-3 more mbps constantly on speedtests. And they get better reception. Not bar wise but -dbm wise.

Yeah when the heck is sprint or Google coming out with our radio fix?

the reason for the slow update is due to patent disagreements
as apple holds the only patent to make radios work via software update google has to talk to them first
for anyone not catching the sarcasm its referring to the grip of death found on the gsm iphone 4 and apples "fix" via software

Um what? Where did you hear this?
Plenty of manufacturers push radio updates all the time with their OTA updates.

I have been saying this since it was announced! So glad the DOJ is stepping up to do something about it.
It's not over yet! Do you think sprint would still want them?

Sprint will want it but they dont have the money, there is a group of private investors that have been lurking on the fringe. They have been designated the most likely outcome. Chinese and Russian firms have shown an interest but the Congress hurdles would be great.

QFE. I wonder why it tok this long though, I would've shot it down the moment they announced it.
i think apple should buy tmobile so they can give iphone users a true end to end experience. tmo could exclusively sell iphones, leave all the good android handsets to the other carriers. if all the big networks(ie att and vzw) saw a mass exodus of customers to go to a service provided by apple, prices would prolly go down across the board.

My friend has a T-Mobile Priv

I may be able to get my hands on it for a bit, I'm pretty technically capable, is there anything I can do that would help us know more about this phone, Advance root, grab apks, etc? It's a loaner device so if it could brick it, I can't do it.

Download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redphx.deviceid
And tell us the device id and codename. Then we should be able to grab the apk's off the Play Store.

Yikes! December is quite a while away. I hope that info is outdated... I was hoping John Legere would announce it during Uncarrier X. If it doesn't come out this month, I'll probably just buy it from BB with my bonus since it still gets VoLTE and Wifi calling. Band 12 isn't out where I'm at yet, but the Priv does support it, so the only thing I miss out on is the Jump insurance.

Idk I don't think it's out dated and considering att has an exclusive, I wouldn't be surprised by it being December.

Didn't they remove the word "exclusive" due to legal reasons?
Checked: It now says "first in the US on ATT", so it is no longer an exclusive (timed exclusive maybe)

I didn't hear that but that makes more sense than exclusive since you can buy it from B&B's website. But still the timed exclusive has to be worth it and I couldn't see AT&T paying for anything less than a month.

I'm hoping they never paid for exclusivity and just made that statement as a marketing stunt since no one else had announced plans to carry it. If that's the case, we could see one on T Mo pretty soon!

It's not the same device as the unlocked as Verizon has unleashed it's world of pain on the device. Also can't use HTC Dev.

But then you could argue that there isn't any development on it, unless you S-Off (via mail in currently) then it does become like a normal 10!

Still not exactly the same. Verizon tends to neuter bands and very rarely can you flash a non vzw rom to a vzw branded phone. LTE/CDMA differences. Pain in the arse kind of thing

Is this something that can easily be done, or are there hoops to jump through? I have no familiarity with the process, so i a just asking?
I was wondering why I couldn't find the Verizon specific forum... There really should be one before someone doesn't read and ends up bricking their phone. Historically there have been carrier specific forums for other devices and it makes sense.
I'll put it to the forum owners. They make the call on what forums get added.

Any delay is better than no delay.
And we're the only ones in the US who will have capable phones past Dec 19th. Give Verizon a little credit.
