All firmware dictated.  Only one hardware variant.   AJ

I believe outside of Clearwire LTE, all Sprint B41 equipment is capable of 3x CA on B41. It's just a matter of installing a new a new carrier card (which should be fast and painless) and some software

Yeah I'm disappointed too. Now hdr video support is awesome but with a battery smaller than the s7 edge I don't see it being a battery champ anyway. Still using qc 2.0 instead of 3.0. Point is there is a $400 one plus 3 that comes awfully close to note 7 in specs and less than half the price.

The real question is when will Sprint start replacing Clearwire equipment? Lots of major markets need to be striped of Clear equipment in order to move forward with 3x CA deployment. New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Houston, Denver, and other cities have a good chunk of B41 originating from Clearwire equipment. Sprint could definitely fire up 3x CA on a 'need' basis, but doubt that happens since their network is suffering from terrible congestion on B26/B25 in so many places that have Clearwire B41.

 

I would say that in major markets where there is an equal mix of Clearwire B41 and Sprint B41 sites, it's better to just leave the 2xCA in place and upgrade the Sprint B41 to 3xCA. 

 

The drop in speeds wouldn't be as noticeable unless you're actively using 20+mbps.

No S-pen though.

I agree. They need to focus on getting 3xca to more markets. Not doing another rip and replace.

Wish you could get a One Plus 3 that can be used on Sprint.

I don't know if you can just take these #s but looking at the FCC filing, B26 is 19-20db, B25 is 21-22db, B41 is about 23-25db, I think that is pretty good.

 

Granted, real life experience can be different

We we all know band 41 fcc and realworld different on note 5.

Note 5 is a lot better in the real world than on paper we all know that, hoping the same is said for the Note 7.

well i hope so. Nothing has changed for me. Still takes forever to latch on to lte once it drops to 3g in areas it never and battery seems the same. I rather start with a brand new inbox note 5 you know

I hear you, I love my Note 5 overall though, things have gotten a little better recently so I'm not as annoyed but yeah I go through the same situation daily.

just wish we had legit answer's on really what's going on with the phone. Is it phone or network? Someone needs to step up. Guess I'm keeping this one. I'm ok with that too

I think network but who knows, Samsung and Sprint apparently have no reports of any issues. I've given up, looking forward to a better experience.

Just like any other device. It will not intelligently swap between providers but you can manually select if you want tmobile, uscc, or sprint as the primary.

From my understanding, without a Nexus device, no phone can swap between Fi carriers because they can't read past the first carrier on the SIM, which is T-Mobile.

I'm going for the note 7. It's still a big upgrade hdr screen, iris scanner, IP68, micro sd, improved s pen, double pressure sensitivity, improved s pen features like gif maker, bigger battery, low light mode, you can even change your screen resolution to as low as 720p to save battery, also antutu benchmarks somehow makes it 9000 points over the s7 edge. I also like that the cleaned up touchwiz even more. 3xCa support is just a bonus. Not to mention the stealth black and blue/gold trim is gorgeous. I don't know if I will keep it because the s8 will probably have a 4k hrd display, snapdragon 830, 4xCA ect. Honestly even with all of these features I see little reason to upgrade to it.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      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!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
