  1. If that's the impression that I gave off that was definitely not my intention. Just illustrating that Sprint never needed this, they just wanted to put profit ahead of true competition.
  2. How does one get this deal?? Do tell!?
  3. You should get the $235 credit towards any accessories (Smartwatch maybe or new Buds+)
  4. This also shows just how tight and narrow a rope Masa had to walk. If he approves more funding early, Sprint would surely grow organically. But completely starve the company, you would devalue your own asset costing you a sh$t ton of cash. (Which it did to a certain degree) Sprint has never been in danger of collapse, the issue has always been short term profits. These folks just could not fathom investing in Sprint and waiting 10 years for a turn around, so Masa did the next best thing in his eyes, starve the companies capex and put on a dog and pony show for the public to convince them that this merger is not only a great idea, but the only way Sprint would survive (and Tmobile to a certain degree) Yes I'm still salty 😒 lol
  5. Despite all of that.. Sprint basically forced all the other carriers to announce massively under-performing and premature 5G launches. Its quite amazing, even after nearly a year of 5G being a thing, Sprint is waay ahead according to opensignal.. https://www.opensignal.com/2020/02/20/how-att-sprint-t-mobile-and-verizon-differ-in-their-early-5g-approach
  6. Maybe backhaul or just congested. Does it perform the same at all times?
  7. Talk about perfect timing! Just in time to stop potential GS20 switchers!
  8. This pretty much mirrors Tmobiles performance while VoLTE was being deployed. Id be willing to bet, that EOY phone performance numbers will be considerably better. VoLTE performance has gotten way better over the past 6 months.
  9. Maybe in Sprint's weak markets that might be the case, but definitely not in there strong ones..
  10. It's not that simple. It depends what the issue is. In places where they are not spectrum or density constrained they can adjust antenna tilt or optimize band threshold, or even fix downed sites. But if your issue is coverage or capacity limation related, there isn't much they can do. Regardless, you should always report issues, because they do indeed go through the reports and try to address issues if and when it's possible.
  11. V50 is without a doubt one of the most underrated devices! LG needs to keep improving updates and designs, its definitely good to have a proper alternative to Samsung..
  12. 100% they do! Sometimes they tend to the issues quickly, other times the solution is not that straight forward or it's low priority. I've had pretty good success with it. What would have been nice, is to get some sort of confirmation or update that they worked on the issue rather than find out weeks or even months later that they fixed it and you had no idea it's even been looked at. Bottom line, report it!
  13. At this point it would make sense to build a single SKU device for both Sprint/Tmobile, but i guess its not that simple considering the CDMA requirements on Sprint.
  14. They just recently lit up the smaller third carrier due to spectrum limitations. It's only 10mhz vs the usual 20. So nothing north of 170th street sees either 5G or 60mhz of LTE. But on the bright side that extra 10mhz is definitely helping and I also noticed more network optimization. Best thing to do is report any place where you notice any slow speeds, since the network has been working pretty well for the most part, they tend to these minor pockets faster than usual.
  15. It's been the opposite for me as well. Been finding that Sprint is going back and adding more capacity on a few sites where they are spectrum limited (north of 170st in the Bronx and beyond.)
  16. Which apps? Try clearing data and cache most apps work fine with 10.
  17. Makes sense to have B26 as primary carrier since upload transmission from handset to tower is much weaker over B41, yet this preserves B41 download advantage.
  18. The One UI beta has all those features. So expect it once that update is finally pushed in its final form. Also, no way in hell it's gonna be a 179mb update.
  19. I think the only reason you believe this, is because Samsung has been doing a bang-up job adding features that even Google themselves are implementing. Not to mention all the under the hood stuff.
  20. No, its because Speedtest has considerably more servers to ping (meaning less hops and closer in proximity) from than any of those other servers you mentioned. Typically, the fastest speed would be considered the most accurate.
  21. Its unfortunate, I do not believe TMobile will be anywhere near as good as those advocating for the merger especially in the beginning, not to mention they will need to divulge all Sprint lowband. Regardless, this is what Sprint needs to replicate in all markets, starting with markets that lack macro density since 5G has been awesome in cities and are less in need of this.. Unfortunately, with this merger looming who knows what parts of the network deployment take priority. Bottom line, the "new" TMobile will be worse for a long time before it gets better. Here's hoping Sprint continues to deploys this and the merger fails.😤
  22. Rejoice!! Did you see, Android 10 beta finally has Volte built in for even GS9 and it operates as expected!
