Is Note 5 Sprint Spark capable? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5

So I've been an iphone fan boy for some time here, and these deals sprint/best buy have this week on getting a note 5 make me want to pull the trigger. In looking at specs- I don't see that the Note 5 is spark capable, if that network ever came to my area. I do travel for work quite a bit- but not sure how much into Spark areas... but it's a consideration.
I didn't really follow sprints explanation on this forum- anyone know the answer to this?

And carrier aggregation. 100mbs+ downloads are nice. For what? I don't know.

I don't either... Not Sure why....

It boots on mine(Hardware version N920P.03)
Im in philadelphia so I believe we have it activated here but to be honest I haven't noticed much difference in speed compared to my Note 3 as far as LTE is concerned. I dont know if its supposed to say when Spark is activated but mine doesn't say

There is no indication that you are connected to Spark or just 4G LTE in the status bar, as is with any of Sprint's spark capable devices. I do have a speed difference here in KS when I know I am connected to Spark vs LTE speeds.
I'm just glad that they got rid of the annoying Spark icon in the status bar, even though it was easily changeable in the build.prop on the note 4.

You have a sun in the status bar when you have Spark capability. It appears some 64gb note 5s were released without spark and I am the owner of one if these devices. I have to take my device to a Sprint repair center in the morning

Using LTE Discovery it appears to be connected to Spark here in Phoenix even though there was no indication in the status bar.

It is spark capable and there is going to be an update that changes it to the spark symbol so I've heard. Doesn't matter to me either way though I like the lte symbol better personally.

Yes pretty much any flagship sprint puts out now will be spark capable. Note 5 is. I have the s6 edge+ and am getting ready to take it back for a note 5. On my s6 i use to have the spinning star. The last update with the new icons and stuff changed the status bar and took away the spinning star. On my s6 and my s6 edge+ it just says lte at the top. Its still catching spark they have just changed the icons. And the spark splash does show up on the boot for both phones even though the star is missing up top. I think it was sprint cleaning up the top which i like.

And i am guessing everyone who says they are lost doesnt use sprint. If u dont run on sprint than u wouldnt know what is going on. Spark is a sprint thing only.

The spinning star animation was annoying Lol. At least to me it was. I like just the lte icon.

How do I tell whether my 64gb is Spark enabled?

Use an app like lte discovery or signalcheck and see what band you are connected to. If your on bands 26 or 41 u have spark. Band 25 is the 1900 frequency and is the normal lte.

Yes it was. Couldn't stand that icon. Never understood it cause it was always there even when I wasn't connected to spark.

Verizon SGS3 no 4g... bug

so on verizon I got my sgs3 and activated successfully ..... so I thought. didnt notice 4g at any time, so called in to verizon and said that I have read a few posts of people not able to activate properly and I think my 4g is missing.
tier 2 rep didnt have the phone to look at and after an hour said it might be a bug, like one that was with the razor maxx. so I get to wait till today for a call back and them to tell me they dont know why Im in a 4g coverage area but not getting 4g....
fun times verizon thanks because being on the "better' network makes it all worth it.
I had to restart my phone after a while then 4g showed up.
I have the same issue. Activated 2 SG3's yesterday. Both are only showing 3G connection. I live in Tyler TX and I know we have 4G coverage. I talked to a rep yesterday and they pretty much told me the same thing. She said maybe there is an update coming to fix it.
They also had me pull the battery and reseat the sim card. Still no 4G

Same here, I'm getting spotty 4 g at best and the signal is **** when I do. My tbolt would have-79 at my house, my Sg3 gets -112 at its best. Just spoke to second level support and was asked to take the SIM out for a few minutes and try again. Same results as before. Here is a pic off my current status. Oh yeah- 32gb pebble blue here.

losing root was my first thought when rep mentioned the update. but in the end, one of the phones hugest points is 4g. Without that i can use another phone.
I have no issue with 4G, and haven't. I am also rooted and have been since it was announced.

I'm not sure what to say really. It could be everything from service problems, to the phone having issues, to Verizon working on the network... I mean, had you had a 4G device prior you could compare with?

even if you were ever able to fully unlock a Sprint version handset, it may not support the bands needed to fully run properly on T-Mo's GSM network.
but search to see what bands (frequencies) your handset needs to support, to run on T-Mo's network. then call Sprint's customer support to help you unlock your handset for international use - say you're going to Europe for about a week and that you want to be able to use their SIMs.

which US GSM network are you using it on? i've already had my S6e unlocked a while back. since I also have service on both ATT & T-Mo networks, i have tried using a bunch of known working APNs (from my factory unlocked N5), but I haven't had any luck.
I tried going through the first several pages to see what APNs were used. however, I've seen the user 'iBowToAndroid' mention several times it won't work in the US. did that change towards the end of the thread. still a lot of pages to read through...

ok guys there will not be no lte but it can be unlocked but not through the thread my brother my friend @idone will quickly unlock it at a great price also but you will on have 3g but it is still fast if i was helpful click thanks http://idoneapps.com/
If you look in Settings>About Device>Status> it will show the actual data network type you are connected to.
HSPA and HSPA+ will be working, and for T-Mobile if the towers in your area have been upgraded for LTE on 1900mhz LTE will work also.
The phone will just always show a "3G" icon in the StatusBar when in GSM/UMTS mode, it can be changed with a build.prop edit, but then it will always show 4g instead.
But do check here Settings>About Device>Status>
You will get more than 3G

Mate 8 Internet Issue with T-Mobile

I just bought my Mate 8 with build number NXT-L29C636B103, but I have been experiencing mobile data issues with my T-mobile carrier that only when I get 4G symbol, I can go online. Whenever I am getting either 3G or H+, I can not connect to internet at all.
I have tried my wife's T-mobile phone, at the same location, her phone will get 4G LTE, my phone will have 4G, whenever she is getting 4G, I am getting H+ or 3G, which I can not go online anymore but on her phone, it still works.
Is is because of the version of the Mate 8 I am getting or the setting is wrong, please help. I have 5 more days to return this phone if it does not work out. (I really like this phone a lot............)
These international devices do not proclaim signal as LTE, they call it 4G. Most devices do not maintain LTE while phone's on. Signal strength varies from device to device. Use more objective measures such as signal strength meters and speedtest.net app. I have the L10 version (Chinese) and do get LTE. What color and ram you have?

What program are you using to display network speed on your notification panel ?
That's a setting in the phone settings - notification panel and status bar - you can set it there and also take out the carrier name out of there.

In my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge I haved the same problem and nobody in the threads of S6 Edge know how to do it without root.The way of using hidden menu works for me until Galaxy S5. This was the way that works for me so I posted for people with the same problem. Also this way is much faster and easier that running codes.

Well the people(including myself) use this when they have more wcdma signal than lte, the phone will select the wcdma network, that is more slow than lte, but you know you have lte signal so you can force it to use your lte internet that is fastest than wcdma.
For example in my home my phone keep changing from wcdma to lte all the time and that makes my internet super slow. My internet speed in auto mode is like 1mbs of download with full signal, when I force Lte only my signal is like one bar of signal but the internet speed increases to 25 Mbs of download
So when I don't need to make calls I force lte only to download things faster

Unless provider has volte option in the network, it's not possible to make calls on a 4g network
its useless like tits on bull. Its only for cosmetic look only. You can flash the ATT CSC to get "LTE" icon. http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392957...
I don't under stand. If You select LTE only via this application, You can't make a calls. Without if phone choose manually LTE, You can browse and make a calls? Can You explain to me that matter?
Hi guys I'm new to this so bear with me if you please x)
I have a month old S7 Edge that does not appear to have VoLTE, I'm guessing it has something to do with this beeing Norway and the phone for some reason is hungarian?
Seeing as this thread is about forcing LTE and my provider has VoLTE option on the network. Will forcing LTE fix my problem without making me brake the warranty conditions?
The technical support guy at the store where i bought it said that his boss might not give me a new S7 Edge or even pay to get it fixed.
I'm not what you would call wealthy so i'm kinda f***** if they suddenly say that they will fix it and I've broken warranty conditions ^^
If you think this fits better in another thread please point me in the right direction =)
thx =)
Hmm.. im gonna try this on my wife's A36 tomorrow, see if its work. If it does then i can use samsung again coz in my country the operator give 10GB of bonus only in 4G network. But in some area 4G is bad :v I had to use lenovo coz its able to 4G only.
thanks for the app

LTE band 4 working on Verizon?

Anyone with issues getting band 4? At home I always have it but am stuck on band 13. Any suggestions?
The app LTE discovery will let you know what band your on.
It's good to see someone has it on Verizon. Mine won't connect to the network at all.

Did you take your sim from an active phone on your Verizon account? Have hd voice added on as extra service?

The Verizon associate popped it into his own phone and tried it, but the phone probably has to be actually added to the account I'm thinking cuz it didn't work.

Well, once your sim goes into a phone that phone will show up on your account. Then you need to go to my devices and then apps and services and add HD voice. You might need to upgrade your sim too.
I don't mind helping out but I'm trying to find out if anyone has been able to get band 4 on their U11. Each thing I've said you negate it like you know the answer. This thread was specifically made for my question.

Sorry it got off topic. I'll let you know when I can actually use it. Apparently 6P had it so I swapped with my mom's phone and was able to add hd to my line. If it works I'll let you know what band I'm getting.

Uh huh.
I've received my answer on band 4 and Verizon. It's not working and may never work.

Well that sucks. That means lower speeds, another crippling of a great phone.
Curious as to where you got the answer and if there is any reasoning behind it.

I bet Verizon says it is because the phone was not certified by them and as such they don't guarantee any features to work and blah blah blah when in reality it is probably their computers automatically unchecking a box on your customer record to guarantee the system will never let your device utilize the features

Come on brother, don't leave us in suspense, where did you get the info.
I've downloaded the LTE Discovery app onto my HTC 10 and I'm trying to use it to see if there is Band 4 around my area, before I try out the U11.

Post #99 in the Verizon thread.. He posted a bunch of info on communications with HTC, Verizon, and AT&T.
Really slow lte on mine too..looks like only band 13
Band 13 only here in Virginia.
Band 13 in Syracuse. Went back to my 10 and getting 4 consistently.
Stuck on band 13 here in Columbia, SC too. Band 4 works fine on my old One M8. HTC support has been extremely unhelpful. They keep pushing me off on Verizon. If this isn't sorted out before my return window is up this thing is going back.
"Thanks for the account verification. The HTC u11 is not capable with LTE Advanced https://t.co/JueO1hTCbK. Since this is a non-Verizon device, we can not guarantee that all features will work when comparing to a Verizon device. ^ZY
In order to use LTE Advanced, the device will need a carrier update. The HTC u11 may not be able to get the update since it is a non-Verizon device. Verizon LTE Advanced-capable devices already have the necessary hardware and software. LTE Advanced uses software to combine two or three channels – a combination of 700 MHz, AWS, and PCS spectrum to provide peak speeds. ^ZY"
Guys this is what i got after talking to VZW CS

Anyone with issues getting band 4? At home I always have it but am stuck on band 13. Any suggestions?
The app LTE discovery will let you know what band your on.

Same here in Miami. Only Band 13, when my s8+ used Band 4 in the same areas.
