I'll be looking for a new phone for my mother-in-law soon since she's eligible for an upgrade. I'd like to get her off her Replenish as soon as possible!!! :) I'd also like her to have an all touchscreen phone, but she'll probably want a keyboard, which leaves the Mach or Photon Q. Both are kinda "meh" to me, but as long as they're reliable, good phones it'll be fine for her. She does little more than Facebook and check her email on her phone.

Time to bring this thread back up.

 

The successor to the SPH-L500 has been tested on cloud4sites.com's mtest page.

 

The SPH-L520, located here, has Android 4.2.2 Build JDQ39 on board. Could this be the Galaxy S4 mini on Sprint?

We never even determined what the L500 was did we?

Nope. And we may never know what it is. We will just have to wait and see. Maybe Sprint decided a tri-band version was better*?

 

The Galaxy Nexus was L700, the Galaxy S 3 was L710, and the Galaxy S 4 was L720. This time they skipped from L500 to L520. Strange, but the mystery is exciting.

 

(*Pure speculation at this point.)

I hate to start rumors, but this looks strange and legitimate at the same time.

According to this site, the SPH-L520 could be the S4 Mini for Sprint, and may only have LTE on PCS. We will know for sure when it hits the FCC.

 

Also, the L520 passed the Bluetooth SIG earlier this month. https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_viewQDL.cfm?qid=20981

I'd rather Sprint release that dang SPH-L730 already so I can have my triband goodness.

Maybe the L500 is the new Samsung Windows phone that was just announced.

No, because cloud4sites' mtest proved it was android. And I believe the FCC docs had Android listed in them. (Can't remember for sure since its been a while.)

The SPH-L520 has a partial list of specs listed online at GFXbench.com.

Has a Qualcomm MSM8960 with a max CPU frequency of 1728MHz, Android 4.2.2, and a screen resolution of 960 x 540. Listing shows 1920 x 1080 screen resolution and an Adreno 305.

My guess for the sph-l500 was it to be the s4 zoom

Well, thanks to the 180 day temporary stay on specific documents, the SPH-L500 is for Virgin Mobile. Internal photos show it has a microSD slot & SIM Card slot.

    • It took a couple of months but this site is finally back online.  I was certain that a decommission permit would come through one day since it was offline for over 3 months but I passed by it today and it was working again. — — — — — This site is also finally live. This was probably the longest I had ever seen a site take to go live once all hardware was installed, about 3 months. Hopefully the site in Long Island City doesn't take as long.
    • So while we wait for @RAvirani to fix the website, I was able to connect one of my phones to Verizon n77 on a site with an NCI that appears to be adjacent to an NCI that was already in my database. Specifically, the site I call Taylor Run has been observed with these NCIs on n77: 44EEE469A 44EEE46AA 44EEE46AB 44EEE46BA 44EEE46BB I separately connected to the site I call Fairlington on its beta sector on n77: 44EEE46DA 44EEE46DB I'm assuming alpha sector is 44EE46CA/B.  With this data, I learned two things: 1) They're clearly not tracking the LTE GCIs with the NR NCIs.  Taylor Run is 1B61Fxx, while Fairlington is 1B680xx, not sequential. 2) It's clear that they're not using three byte sectors.  They're not even using two byte sectors like LTE does.  It looks to be done in an oddball fashion like how Dish is doing things.  Best I can come up with is a site ID that's something like: (NCI-0x20)/(0x30) It's possible it's actually (NCI+0x10)/(0x30) but I'm not really sure.  I also haven't connected to anything outside my immediate area here to know if this is consistent with other regions.  Not entirely sure how to persuade a device to do so, my Dish phone just connects to n77 at random in lieu of going to no signal.  (No data passes.) My take is to "break" the site notes for Verizon NR the way it was done with Dish NR, so at least the notes don't get copied to inconsistent sites, as has happened when I connected to Fairlington (came up as "Taylor Run").  It seems that Verizon, AT&T, and Dish all need work on the NR side to make sure site notes work properly.  Frustrating that they didn't standardize that for NR the way they did for LTE.  T-Mobile and US Cellular (while it lasts) seem to have done it the way I would have done it.  The others, not so much. - Trip
    • I tried to access that forum but it says I need a password. Is it limit to certain contributors?    I was going to report that the website is broken. For days it's been saying unable to retrieve signal data then going to a 404 error.
    • Sorry, I forgot about it when I posted previously.  And then I was talking to chamb by e-mail and away from my computer and suggested posting here.  Moved the posts to the proper spot. - Trip
    • It is probably better to post topics related to the map in the dedicated thread to help keep things organized and secure. This thread is big enough as it is, just want to try help keep things on track!
