The way it should be done

I agree. Because if sprint was to announce it the media will be all over it and then a article will come out saying blah blah is slow. So it's best to surprise them. Well that will happen the next round of rootmetric testing.

For those interested, the construction meeting went well. Bids are still being accepted from GCs at the moment, but they want to start soon, very soon.

Alright folks. Now that 2014 is here, we should see completion of LTE 1900 in the coming months with a robust 3G/1x800 network as well as see LTE800 start to light up towards the middle-to-end of the

Hopefully they upgrade to a CA capable phones for the next round. They're still using the GS5.

Hopefully we shall see. Because they added a second carrier of 41 for speed wouldn't the first carrier has less load.

Yes, the addition of 2nd carrier even without CA will have a noticeable impact on speed.

Ok. So even with the S5 a speed boost will be noticeable but it'll be even more if they can upgrade to a S6.

I've noticed around the construction areas on 270 west to 33 that I drop calls and loose LTE signal on my i6. Anyone else do the same?

 

Was fine for me a few days ago.

always happen to me at 2am when there hardly any cell traffic. May be a device issue

12am & 2am are when Sprint usually pushes updates since a minimal amount of users would be impacted. Might be a sign of some updates in that area....

Sorry to be so ignorant, but when people talk about you need to have the newest devices that are CA capable...

 

ZTE Hot Spot is supposed to get a firmware update that will make it CA 2x20 capable in the several dozen first round markets (ours included).  This may not be the actual model name.

So I have a rooted HTC One M9. I know that it is CA capable device. I noticed that the 5.1 Lollipop update was pushed OTA but it will not install on my phone. It keeps rebooting into my TEAMWIN recovery when I attempted to install it. Any ideas on how to get around that and to also enable CA over B41? or will I just see the speed increase when using speedtest?

The update to enable CA was done via a profile update push. Assuming your ROM will let you update your profile, that's all you have to do to enable it on a device that is hardware capable.

You have to have a factory recovery installed before you'll be able to update via an OTA. Since you have TWRP installed you don't have a factory recovery. Best thing to do is go onto XDA and find a stock ROM that can be installed via a custom recovery (TWRP).

LTE seems unavailable in places I could always get it in the Carroll, Canal Winchester, Lancaster areas. Wazzzupp?

It is possible they are doing some tweaks in reference to Band 25... Are you able to be a little more specific?  Are you running SCP?

I have been experiencing lots of drops from LTE to 3G all across the Columbus market. Worst part is while my phone is switching to/from 3G, I don't get any incoming calls. I've been calling in daily to Sprint, but they will not recognize that there are any problems.

 

Their 'solution' is for anyone that is experiencing this problem to report it as much as possible via the Sprint Zone app. They tell me that's how things get fixed because most people don't use the Sprint Zone app, and when problems are reported via it, they get fixed. I call BS, but in the meantime, SPAM the hell out of Sprint via the Sprint Zone app, social media, and of course call in to complain.

 

Maybe after they update your profile, have you remove your battery for 2 minutes, and then send you into a Sprint store to have your phone checked out enough times they will actually do something/acknowledge there is a problem in the Columbus market [emoji57]

Would be sweet if it was a clear conversion?

Maybe but I'm looking at them now and there was a bunch of wires hanging from panel but they are slowly disappearing. But that tower always had 6 ruu on it

      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....
