Following up on the Tri-Band Broadband Data devices, The Novatel MiFi 5580 '500' LTE received FCC approval yesterday. All that's left is a release day from Sprint!     Update: Sprint officially

Great news! The NetGear (formerly Sierra Wireless) 341U USB Modem passed thru the FCC this week.   On Band 26 LTE (SMR LTE) it was tested using 1.4 MHz bandwidth, as well as 3 MHz, 5 MHz, and 10 MHz

Sprint just announced a Spark version of GS4 and I may go with it (though wish it had Snap800 or that Nexus 5 had SD slot).  The date on list says Dec 21.  Does that date still stand for availability or is it available now?

 

As far as we know, it's not available. We just know the announcement said "In the coming weeks". Hopefully it'll be released in enough time to be delivered for Christmas day.

The GS3 and original GS4 were both released around the start of summer on Sprint. Even if the GS5 was announced in March, it'd still be until June before Sprint releases it.

Unless you live in a spark enabled area I'd wait for the gs5.

The Netgear AC778S, as mentioned above:

 

While all the crazy people were out shopping on Black Friday, Netgear (formerly Sierra Wireless) got FCC approval for a Tri-band Aircard, model number AC778S. It is a mobile hotspot too. It looks like 2014 could be shaping up to an interesting Sprint year. Stay tuned!

 

looks to be the first Spark Enabled tri-band prepaid device. If this is the case, the Netgear AC778S is the Netgear Mingle, and it's coming to Virgin Mobile.

Today, Boost Mobile released the ZTE Max. Thanks to an eBay listing, I was able to confirm that the ZTE Max is the ZTE N9520 I found in the FCC OET database on November 12th of last year. This monster of a phone is a 5.7" phablet.

Mid-Range Tri-band LTE device found in the FCC database for January 28, 2014. Article will be forthcoming this weekend!

 

Band 26 LTE maximum conducted ERP/EIRP level of 29.19 dBm, Band 25 LTE maximum of 28.99 dBm, and Band 41 LTE maximum of 27.81 dBm. It's pretty high performance! This looks to be a good device coming up!

Is Sprint expected to release GS5 around same time as other carriers?  I don't see it in first post.  

 

Any word on a new Note 3 with Spark?

Since neither device has been announced, nor any FCC docs or reliable leaked info is out, there are no answers to those questions.  When reliable info comes up, there will be lots on info.

Are there any rumors as to when carrier aggregated phones are coming out this year? My guess is late 2014.

No rumors yet. Maybe sometime in the future we will hear something.

At MWC today LG announced the LG Volt (F90) for Sprint. It's a mid-range Spark capable phone with a Snapdragon 400 and Android 4.4 KitKat on board and a 4.7" qHD display. Hmm, it sounds awfully familiar spec wise to the LG LS740 I just wrote about on January 31st. See here.

 

Links to Phone Scoop article and hands-on.

 

According to the Hands-on article, the phone's internal model is LG LS740.

Sprint Devices list....

 

It would be nice if you added GCI support to the list.  Apple can be included with a note about hexadecimal conversion.  GCI is very handy at identifying specific towers.  It might also encourage Samsung and others to add it.

I can say that GCI display capability will not be added to the table here.  But that is something you could discuss with mikejeep about adding to the SignalCheck thread.

Love this chart! Amazing!

I know the chart is related to LTE data, but what do you think about adding HD voice calls and 800voice columns as well? 

 

People could at least see what they are missing out on by staying in their current model.

Virtually all of Sprints phones have supported 1x800 (800voice) for the last several years (except for the iPhone's).  HD voice would be cool to know, just not sure if that info is readily accessible.

Both LTE iPhones support 1x800 voice. As for HD Voice, I'm really not sure which phones do support it, as I thought it was supposed to be on all 1x800 capable LTE phones except the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy Nexus.

      Network Vision/LTE - Northern Jersey Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      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.
