Sprint started putting 800CDMA voice in phones well over a year before it started showing up, and LTE 1900 phones were released over 3 months before the first LTE enabled tower was lit up for public use, so LTE 800 devices could potentially be released in the coming months.

 

Could be. However, past performance does not guarantee future results.

 

For an alternative, consider this possibility. Who knows what costs were associated with ensuring band class 10 CDMA1X 800 capability in all of those handsets? And the reality is that a large percentage of those handsets will have already been replaced by the time that CDMA1X 800 reaches most markets. So, maybe Sprint has learned from that experience and decided not to endure additional costs before the time comes because those costs may have very limited benefits.

You people disappoint me. This one was so ripe for wisecracks, and you let the opportunity pass.   AJ

Yep! I pick up the wife's S3 and it just seems small and weird to look at.   Sent from my little Note2

Maybe so, but I will be keeping an eye out.

I still think it would not happen at least for another year.

Sooo if this does come out soon then i will have this and the HTC one to think about. Witch one will be better in terms of performance and specs?

 

Spec wise they will probably be the same. It is rumoured that samsung may use the exynos processor overseas and the snapdragon for north america. If thats the case then both the one and the gs4 will have the same s600 snapdragon with 2gb of ram.

Well personally I have two phones that I walk with everyday so more than likely I will get the One to replace my Evo and get the gs4 to replace my gnex.

themffinman is on to something there. I have several myself, one primarily for work and the other for personal... but they are more or less interchangeable. if work paid for mine i would have another, but it is great to have a spare device when the unfortunate happens.. whether a dead battery, charger, coverage issues, multitasking (as above) or countless other use case scenarios

The Note 2 does not support Google Wallet. Maybe it will via rooting or a custom ROM.

I have been thinking about buying the note 2, but will visa paywave work on it? I am excited to use wireless payments

 

I've used Google Wallet for the first time this week, at places that accept wireless payments. You should see the facial expressions of cashiers, and other customers waiting in line. Yes, jaws dropping to the floor, and they are like WTF! Lol! Yesterday, a cashier was so in shock, she grabbed a co-worker telling her what happened. Lol!

The Note2 latest update enabled google wallet. I just had to load the wallet apk manually since it hasn't been approved by google yet. Works fine.

There is something about side loading an app that has financial info that scares the hell out of me. I've been tempted to do that, but won't.

Fully understand but I would never put anything more than a true credit card anyways that I could just call up and reverse any charges if needed.

I've suffered from CC fraud so many times, you'd think I wouldn't be concerned about it. It wasn't a big deal in each instance and always had the charges reversed.

 

I guess I see GW as a minor convenience that its not a big deal to wait until it is supported.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      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.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
