Isn't Band 2 in the 1.9 GHz range?

For some reason, my Field Test screen is showing that I am on Band 2, but the Frequency for download is 650. Upload frequency is listed as 18650.

Does this even make sense? Isn't the 650 MHz range the old analog TV band?

Those are the EARFCN values. Place them into http://niviuk.free.fr/lte_band.php and it'll give you the actual frequency (which is band 2 as you mentioned).

Call *3001#12345#*, then go to "serving cell info" and toggle airplane mode briefly and turn it off. The empty fields should populate. Send a screenshot and upload it here. XLTE isn't without its flaws as well, as there are areas where it's already somewhat congested.

That's band 13, which is regular LTE. "XLTE" would be band 4.

sooo?

ok, so what do i need to do about it? or could this just be cuz i am indoors? but i have had these speeds most of the time outdoors as well?? do i need to call Verizon tech support to do something?

Band 4/"XLTE" is naturally much weaker than regular band 13 LTE (in most cases). If you're already in a slightly weak (1-2 bar) band 13 LTE area, chances are you won't be on band 4, especially if indoors.

so you are saying i'm not getting XLTE where I am even though Verizon says i should be??

Apparently that's the case. I'm in an "XLTE" market for Verizon as well, but there are weak places where I'm on regular LTE.

He didn't say that... He said if you already have a weak signal on band 13, then you likely won't get a signal on band 4, and if you did it would be even weaker.

In a doctor's office in south Jacksonville, FL. -118 on LTE, -96 on HSPA (fell back after finishing the LTE test, unsurprisingly).

XLTE icon showing on phone??

Verizon just told me that when XLTE is available on your phone, the icon will show this?? In all these screenshots within this thread, I dont see an "XLTE" icon???

Theres no XLTE icon. XLTE just means faster LTE speeds in areas where supported

 

[elykoj]

i know

i know what XLTE is, but i asked because the guy at Verizon told me today that there is an icon specifically for XLTE on the phone..lol

That is incorrect.

 

[heyyitssusan]

That is incorrect.

Well, I did see the XLTE logo on a screenshot in the JB forum.. but I'm not sure if that was real or if there was a tweak that enabled that.

Apparently it only appears if you do the carrier hack, which requires a jailbreak.

And there's no tweak that differentiates between bands, so it'll show "XLTE" all the time.

Thanks!

One day, these speeds might be considered slow.

Seems like most sites in Jax have gotten backhaul upgrades. New download speed record for me.
