S4GRU is supposedly a Sprint fanboy site, I guess.  But Patently Apple is egregiously an Apple fanboy site.  And it apparently relishes publishing inflammatory blog posts about Apple competitors.

 

Enjoy, I guess...

A disaster? Give me a break, Apple, Samsung and everyone else are now going to have to deal with phones being "good enough" so they getting new ones less often, especially when subsides die.

Sprint may be releasing a new gs4 that's not called the Active. It might be the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Epic Touch Hands Free Air Gesture Motion Sensor 4G.   Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I was told by a pretty solid source that there would be a Samsung GS4 Refresh that would be triband and another Samsung triband smartphone this year. I assumed the second one was the Note 3. That as

I'll be amazed if that motivates anyone to make a better phone.  They don't seem to listen well and make what they want more than the market seems to demand.  The market just seems to put up with it.  (Note all the people here who have "settled" for right now-vs best.)

 

Look at even this phone.  They could release a phone that people want and rescue them from obsolete phones giving them a bad continuing experience, but they instead hold it back to force people to "settle" for products they already have in hand.

 

It just amazes me.

Did you just ask for the 720T model or is that the default one now?

 

Aw, man, we are going back to 720T now?  The standard is 1080T.

When you get it in, can you please compare the Radio performance on B25 and 1x/3G to the N5?  Just curious because I noticed the original S4 had stellar RF performance - but was limited to SingleBand.

Product ID Description Qty. Order Date Tracking # SPHL720TBK SAMSUNG L720T BLACK 1 2013-12-31  

 

 

My sprint guy was wrong.

Bought it online.

 

Thanks for the heads up!!

 

Tuesday release.  On the EVE of a holiday.

A little later than within the week after Christmas I predicted.

 

It matched my personal predictions fairly well and everything I was given by others turned out to be rubbish.

 

Not a Friday, or a mid-month, or even in stores yet.  (You can check local store availability at the online order system)

 

Online gets the first sales.

Sprint cut it as close to their own predicted deadlines as they could, but they did it.

 

Do you suppose store stock will arrive before our online purchases deliver?  (5 business days)

Figure by next Thursday.

 

Yes, time for a new thread.

Well I have to wait for a district manager to approve me getting a new device instead of a refurbished one ( 8 Bad refurbished in a row) so now I might be able to be fitted into this one!

They only went on sale last night.

Figure about a week before we get any performance evaluations.

 

I won't be of much use as a reporter until triband gets more built out in my market, but I won't have to switch phones early now to take advantage of it.

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
