How come Sprint doesn't get...


Ascertion

Recommended Posts

The 3g 4g difference on the icon is small so maybe next time I mess around with systemui.apk I will change those icons to something easier to see.

 

I do have a Tasker job running that will cause my phone to flip out and notify me when 4g pops up since we don't have it here yet and could be any day.

Saw this recently and thought it was interesting.

 

CarrierEditor

 

Sadly, this doesn't work on Sprint, otherwise I'd have my carrier be my name or maybe an emoji.

Actually, there's a boolean.XML under the values folder that you can enable a carrier logo in the top left corner of the phone. (At least for the s3.)

I would rip out the LTE icon from the Evo systemUI and replace it with the current 4g icon.

You know that some idiot is going to say that sprint doesn't have 4g LTE. That they only have 4g and that 4g LTE is better.

Lol so funny you said that! It actually happened to me. I got to school one morning and there it was the 4G icon on my GS3. So I tell my friend that has a GS3 on AT&T that I have 4G now. He then told me his is better because it says LTE on the side and that mine wasnt LTE. We proceeded to run some speedtests. His AT&T phone got 8 mbp download and mine got 25 mbp. :D

 

He hasnt mentioned the LTE icon since :P

Lol definetly, even if I was to get 2mbps and he was to get 20mbps I would have just said "Let's run it a few more times to see whose data runs out faster!" That would have killed him right there :P

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
