Did sprint install the Carrier Optimization on these Note 5s? Also was carrier aggregation turned ON for these phones. My says not setup or something like that.
I got my MSL and found that MSL is turned on even thought it says CA-Not Config in *#0011#. I dont think these suckers have the sprint connection optimizer.

If you are referring to the connections optimizer app, it's there under wifi settings.

No. If you go to more then go to wifi optimization.
Looks like there is something called a smart switch. that is about. Connections manager had this whole disclaimer. I dont see that anymore.
wording is a little switched around but does look like connection optimizer.
Smart switch I believe is something used when switching devices

Bump. Would like to know this as well. I live in a 2x carrier aggregation city. I've yet to see a SCC value in the ##debug# > LTE Engineering menu.

Yes the Not 5 is capable of Sprint Carrier Aggregation. Thanks.
I do not see any option for 'Smart Switch' or anything like that under Wifi settings...I am on the Sprint Note5.. kinda trippy
##data# shows that CA is enabled, so I suppose this phone does support carrier aggregation.

It was under settings>wifi>more but in my Rom it's no longer listed there.
It does support CA, the speeds in my area under B41 are night and day compared to my Note 4 that I gave my daughter.

It would be great if you had a screenshot to show. In "more" for me (stock rom) I see: Smart Network Switch, Advanced, and Help. My attached screenshot shows what's under advanced.
Thanks for the help.

Took this from Wiki
A mobile device making a data connection must be configured with an APN to present to the carrier. The carrier will then examine this identifier to determine what type of network connection should be created, for example: what IP addresses should be assigned to the wireless device, what security methods should be used, and how or if, it should be connected to some private customer network
Makes sense, the APK is needed so you device can communicate it the carrier to determine which network your phone should connect with. Still not sure what the need is, for multiple APNs, but at least I understand now what there used for exactly. The past week, I've worked again in downtown Boston, and my phone had no issues with handing off from 3G to LTE. Unfortunately I can't say the same for when I'm at home about 4 miles away. Kinda sux really. I know this isn't the topic for this thread, but I'm just hoping Sprint fixes this Spark issue soon, cause it's extremely frustrating.
Anyway, for anyone who wants a bit more info on APNs, Judy check out the Wikipedia page.

I picked up an XT1045 (Moto G LTE USA) recently from Amazon and had T-Mobile ship me a new micro-SIM, then called them to activate it. I know there are LTE towers around (had customer support tell me as much) but I never see "LTE" in the status bar, always "H" or "H+". Granted, download speeds in San Jose on HSPA+ are pretty fast, but I am wondering if I'm missing something fairly obvious. I have the default LTE APN selected.
I did unlock the phone using the Motorola site and rooted it. Could this interfere with LTE operation somehow ?

Which APN are you using. You should be on fast.tmobile.com
I have the similar setup (xt1045,unlocked bootloader, rooter, stock 4.4.3 and stock kernel) and don't have any issues. It did take a few hours after first boot. I am in a refarmed area however. Mine defaulted to the lte/fast apn.
a few things:
- tmobo indoors isn't great in all places, so try outside
- if you're on wifi, they downgrade to hspa/3g to save battery, you may not see lte until you get off wifi
- you may be over your monthly 4g cap
to be honest, their hspa+ speeds are same as lte out here anyways
barrmulio said:

Even if you are over your monthly cap, you still connect to LTE. It just lowers your speeds.
Thanks all for the info. I'm using the T-Mobile APN that came with the phone (fast.t-mobile.com), wifi off, have tried indoors/outdoors.
I'm pretty sure I'm not over my data cap -- my previous phone was a Nexus S and my data usage habits haven't really changed yet
It is a much snappier phone and the HSPA+ and wifi and GPS really are much nicer. I like having the microSD slot too. So I can't really complain too much.

Never saw 'Phone information' come up. I'm assuming this would be the same as changing 'bearer' in the APN setting to 'LTE' instead of unspecified (tried that already, it just seems to get no data at all then) ?
Have not had airplane mode on for these tests.

So when you dial *#*#4636*#*# , what is the first menu on the top?
It's not the same, cos if you set it there, it allows of 3G connections if no LTE available (dunno if you force it from Settings -> More.. -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> LTE ).
The Airoplane mode is just to "relog" to the carrier network , you just cycle through it On->Off

The last four characters were #*#* in your first reply, and that didn't seem to have any effect at all. When I tried the sequence above and pressed dial, it first said 'USSD code running' and then 'Connection problem or invalid MMI code'.

The correct combination is *#*#4636#*#* and you dont have to press dial after that, the menu should pop-up right after you press the last character.This is not model specific either, it works on all android versions/roms.

Apparently doesn't work on this phone. It's ok, google led me to a couple of apps which appear to do something similar. Thanks for the insight !
Finally got the "LTE" indicator while outside eating lunch near work today. I was amazed that the speedtest.net app reported ~30Mbps down / 20 up. Didn't have to mess with the default T-mobile LTE APN. I guess T-mobile's coverage is just kind of spotty, but maybe the nearby tower was just upgraded or something like that
So I feel as thought I am blind. I want to disable the cellular service and use on an as needed basis. I'm sure it has to be there.

Go to settings and then more networks. Then click on Mobile Networks. Unchecked mobile data. You will get warning that WiFi is now needed for data.

easy-quick fix, just run your finger down from the top to pull open the notification shade, then deselect the 'mobile data' round button on the top. it should grey out to indicate that it is off. when you're out of wifi range, just reselect it to enable lte again.

just tried to unlock the LTE band priority and the MSL on the Moto X Pure is 000000 for all phones.
this was needed for me because i am in miami and kept connecting to Band 26 alot instead of 41

Not everyone knows that "data" is the same as "3282".
sorry guys i have been busy. well you could try with signal check pro using the menu there to get you to there, but otherwise i would ask for a simcard just to program it.

I'm not on Sprint I have cricket. I have tried to use *#*#data#*#* but nothing happens. I would like to change my LTE band priorities. At work my MXP connects to band 17 which I get slow downloads while my nexus connects to band 4 and gets fast downloads.

I know this thread is a month old, but that's not entirely accurate.
I have Cricket and on my old phone (Nexus 6) I was able to change back and forth from band 4 to 17 and vice versa, I also had a selection of which LTE bands I could turn on and off. I had that same menu with my LG G3.
It's not on my MXP though which sucks.
You can switch bands on AT&T's network, it all depends on your phone though. It's not a network restriction.
I have a feeling I know the answer to this, but is there any way to enable VoLTE on the unlocked version, notably on the Rogers network in Canada?
Thanks

Are you connected to Wind by any chance? I don't think that network has volte yet. I think Rogers purchased them.
No, I'm on Rogers and I can confirm I had VoLTE before on my Galaxy S7, so it's neither the network or my account the issue.

Very weird. Maybe ask your carrier to check provisioning for your device. What bands does your carrier use for VoLTE?
it should be supported bu carrier it self , not only the phone ! check with them !
Well after some investigating, I have an answer: Rogers only support VoLTE on Apple, LG and Samsung devices...
This is really unfortunate but it's one last thing missing from the Honor 8 to make it my daily driver. It's an excellent device and I was very impressed for the price tag, but not having wireless charging, VoLTE and 4k video made me realize how much I actually use it.
Thanks for the help guys!
