Its been pretty exciting lately, first the Note, then the LTE deployment news and Nexus info today! Sounding like a good way to start the year.

 

I'm Ben, live in Phoenix, Been a Sprint fan/customer for 10 years this August.

 

I've been lurking a while, and finally opened up an account cuz I liked the site so much, and I've been referencing it over at androidforums in the Sprint treads, and have heard good feedback. Way to go s4gru!

 

Quick question about the Network Vision upgrade related to 3G: In todays post s4gru mentioned that, "Sprint will be deploying Voice on 800MHz initially in one carrier with Network Vision deployments now under way. Sprint devices with CDMA capability on 800MHz will be able to use them right away." Now, will my Epic 4G Touch be able to take advantage of this when it is rolled out in my area??

 

Thanks again!!

-Ben

Ben. Thanks for the compliments and welcome to the site. The Epic 4G Touch will do voice on 800MHz on Network Vision towers. It will also run 3G on 800MHz, when and if Sprint ever deploys 3G EVDO on 800MHz. However, to run in Sprint's LTE on 800 that will come out in 2013, you will need to upgrade your device.

It's available. I just was waiting to complete Beta 2.0 before committing to a custom domain.

 

The forums have really taken off since we migrated to the new site last weekend. Much more than I imagined. I may have to reconsider waiting.

 

Also, :welcome: I'm glad you were able to sign in. Sorry about the issues you were having.

    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
    • No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.
    • Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.  
    • Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.
    • Saw that for a while. Now back to n25 + n71 + n41-100Mhz + n41-90Mhz.
