Nextel is the caterpillar.  On June 30th it climbs up into it's cocoon.  And as each LTE 800 site goes live, it's like a butterfly emerging into markets all around the country.     I think Sprint co

Nope.  Using my wifes.  I don't think I will ever open/reopen an EBay account ever again.

The thing that confuses me is in a free market how the hell has competition not set in for eBay? Very frustrating...

I'd even let Charlie Ergen win the auction, as long as he didn't have any stupid requirements like wanting veto control over our anti DISH postings.

Now that we are down to the final week, what do you think Nextel iDEN will request for its last meal?  Perhaps a lunchpail sandwich and a thermos of coffee.  Or maybe some chicken wings and a vial of crack.

Emmmm...chicken wings. However, I didn't know I'm supposed to have a vial of crack with it.

PTT using drug dealers speak very highly of that combo.

no explanation, no nothing, logged on one day to find my account permanently suspended, along with my paypal account. I was a member for 4 years with a perfect feedback.

I just posted on the S4GRU Calendar a chat scheduled next weekend to count down the end of the iDEN Network.  More details:  http://s4gru.com/index.php?/calendar/event/25-s4gru-live-chat-countdown-the-final-hours-of-iden/

 

 

Also, don't miss you opportunity to Sponsor the final 24 hours of the iDEN countdown clock.  We have an E-Bay auction going on here:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300923642492

 

Hope to see you next week in The Lounge!

Wish I had to the money to bid. And I think my girlfriend would kill me if I spent our Saturday night together on here, but it may be worth the risk. To bad I wont be at home when its shut down. The tower I connect to is 800 okayed and I'd like to see if it just turns on that night/morning. May have to take a drive home on sunday to see if its broadcasting.

 

One question though, Is it being turned off during the day of Sunday the 30th, or is saturday the 29th the last day and being turned off throughout the day? Cause if sunday is the day its being turned off, wouldnt the chat be more appropriate sunday night?

Will there be a 21 chirp salute when the network is put to rest?

 

No, as the network goes dark, we just all together sarcastically yell, "Nextel, where you at?"

Sprint has announced that starting at 12 Midnight on Sunday June 30th, the Nextel network will start going offline and Saturday, June 29th will be the last day of service. So the countdown is counting down to that very moment...the official end of the iDEN network.

 

Our chat that is scheduled is kind of like the New Years Eve Countdown party as we watch the clock count down to zero. So it needs to be at that time.

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.

      Yeah both of those instances were on my AT&T s22 ultra. Seems ro be working as intended today in latest release.

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.
