That wasn't Sprints decision, that was Apple's. If you look carefully, you will notice that Apple's hd voice implementation doesn't work on any US carrier.

It works on Tmobile/ATT

Not AT&T. Just T-Mobile.

As I detailed in my article this summer, part of the problem is that LTE RSSI almost always gets inflated compared to CDMA1X RSSI because LTE carrier bandwidths are almost always greater.   http://s

Sprint doesn't have the tower spacing to do volte yet.   Sent from my C64 w/Epyx FastLoad cartridge

No. I have posted this numerous times, but we may need to add it to the FAQ or write an article on it. While LTE UEs may improve over time, LTE Advanced will not help with weak signal. If anything,

. Well it also works for some European carriers as well.

You just shot yourself in the foot and didn't realize it. It worked for them when it 1st came out. Not on any US operators. Didn't work for TMobile until they got the phone this year.

shot myself what now? It doesn't impact me other than it doesn't work on Sprint. I couldn't care less what other carriers it does or doesn't wok on.

 

AT&T should support it but they don't care about wife and audio support or they would already offer it. Sprint and veriZon run CDMA networks so they'll never support it. VoLTE will likely be the first hs voice that iPhone supports on sprint. I'd love to be wrong though and they support the current CDMA version though.

You are not getting it. It is what Apple implemented, on the GSM side of things in which the carriers have or have not got. Sprint and Verizon are not GSM primary carriers, They are CDMA, in which it is a whole different story. You cannot blame a carrier for not having something a Manufacturer decided to do with there  cellphones. If you have a problem, talk to Apple. They are the ones who decided on what they wanted to do with there phones. Have you ever wondered why Sprint is the only one you can use Google Wallet on out of the 4 carriers without having to hack your phones on Android devices. That would go along carriers doing what they want. Apple bringing out a form of hd voice that isn't on US Carriers and wasn't on TMobile until this year when they started upgrading there networks for LTE is Apples' doing.

Not sure what I'm not getting because I agree. It's not sprint or Verizon's fault. I also never said it was. Apple just likely will not implement something that just a couple CDMA carriers could use an that even fewer would in what's basically a worldwide device. I'd love them to, but they probably won't.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
