which apps gives 1x and 4g signal that I see on the left top corner of your screen?

SignalCheck. It is by a developer here at S4GRU. I like the numbers better as it offers more info. Very cool app, you can pick whether you want the bars or the numbers.

I went to pocono Pennsylvania last weekend for a little getaway from NYC and i was very thankful that I have sprint. in a very rural area where the vacation house was in, I was able to fully stream netflix with very good quality. 3g speed was descent 0.3-0.4 mbps and around 100 ping. tmobile and at&t was not even getting edge there.

*LTE data frenzy after tower gets activated* Today, 4G signal in my apartment jumped from -116 to -99 dbm. Party time...

what area?

 

Mid 60s on first ave.  I've noticed that between 59th and 70th on first is a weak area for LTE.  Now, hopefully this fills some of it in.

iPhone 5 prl bumped from 51096 to 51097

 

 

Now my phone calls aren't going through properly.

Did you end up getting it working? My father's Galaxy Nexus was acting weird and couldn't call or text as if it was disconnected. I called Sprint and they did something on their end. All is good now.

A little OT. But just for the reference, I just recently ordered the ibattz battery for the iPhone 5 and that will probably help with the LTE usage for iPhones. It uses the galaxy s3 battery.

Galaxy Battery's aren't the best tho. All my friends who have Galaxy's their phones are dead with in the hour .

It doesn't use the battery for the phone. It uses the iphone batt, but its used to charge it. Really should be required for any heavy user. It's UNLIMITED battery power. You can't beat that!

 

I forgot to mention in the earlier post that its in a case.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
