You'd think they'd be coming out with some kind of new solution this year.....August if I remember right is the 2 year anniversary of the P-Q release.  I kept hoping the Droid 5 rumors would be indicative of a Sprint derivative to succeed the Q, but if I find out that the company that's making the GS4 keyboards makes one for the 5 as well I may decide to go that route.

 

As for the LG stuff, I've done a bunch of searching and while I can find BT keyboards, I can only find keyboard slider cases like the above for the GS4 and iPhone unfortunately.

My wife just got a replacement PQ after dropping hers while running.  Mom's is still running great, just the lettering is rubbing off the keys.  Hopefully we'll see a Droid 5 triband variant soon.

Unfortunately I'll be getting my 2nd replacement sometime the first of next week.  Vibration mode stopped working on my initial TEP replacement from several months back, and I just kind of dealt with it a long while, but today it started going wacko, overheating and causing either lockups or spontaneous restarts or outright shutting off.  And the battery started draining something fierce when it was on....it went from 51% to 5% in a little over an hour at the Sprint store, with at least 4 times it either rebooted on its own or I had to force it to.

I carried around one of those mini bluetooth keyboards for a while using my original S2 and S3, but when i upgraded i found this S4 keyboard case and was pleasantly surprised by how well it works. I does get a bit janky when the battery is low but it works! Every year that passes though is another year i miss my G1 keyboard a little more...

 

Looks like there's hope for the S5 getting a version:

Edit:  The Canadian offshoot appears to have it in stock:

Found another option in terms of an S5 keyboard case, but at first glance I don't particularly care for the keyboard layout on this one...its crammed into 4 rows and the spacebar is on the right side instead of in the middle.  Have to think that would feel totally unnatural.  Nonetheless, here it is for anyone wanting to consider it:

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
