i guess i tried to raise the bid up by to much. :D anyways, winner winner chicken dinner. also, my electronic graveyard is just large as it is. someone else can have the phones or you can hold on to them if you want and save the shipping fees and all that.

 

 

You outbid me and don't even want the phones? :confused:

You can have the phones for the amount of your last bid since the winner didn't want them. :)

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

I am quite impressed by the bidding already.  From the auction proceeds and the daily sponsorship the past several weeks, the countdown clock has been the most profitable aspect of the Nextel iDEN net

I can't believe only 2 days until the shutdown. It wasn't that long ago when I saw that clock at 20, 30 or even 40 days. My how time flies.

 

I'm pretty excited. I kind of have the same feeling as a kid at Christmas.

Along with the buyout and FCC approval and no divesture of CLWR spectrum. Things are looking UP.

I remember reading somewhere Robert's reply about how fast he guesses CDMA 800 sites will start coming online after the shutdown of the IDEN network. It took awhile to find,if your interested

Are we expecting a big light up or a gradual increase in pace once the countdown hits zero?

I have no inside info on this.  I'm guessing it will not be an immediate overnight light up of 1000's of sites.  But I would guess a pretty rapid succession of CDMA 800 acceptances for the 90-120 day period after June 30th.  And I would expect new sites would start being deployed with 3G and 800 together from the get go.  Maybe even CDMA 800 and LTE 1900 together, as the 800 is more like the LTE in the fact it does not need to be brought online in clusters.  Eventually getting to LTE 800/1900 and CDMA 800 being deployed all together at new sites.

Ok...granted this might not be the right place to ask this...but...

 

With my new HTC One, will I be able to use the CDMA 800 signal at all?

 

Or is 1900 the only signal my phone can use?

Yes, Even the EVO 3D can use 800smr.

just checked out the auction for the first time. was surprised at how high the bid is at. hope all those that are bidding are true Sprint and S4GRU enthusiasts and not just some trolls out to raise the bid.

 

Don't think char char is involved..

I need some 800SMR beaming out cause my whole family is on Sprint and they all whine cause this isn't fast and my signal sucks. I have been telling them that they are rectifying the situation and its gonna be a great network. But non geeks who just want something to work and dont understand the mechanics behind something are hard to get the point across.

SMR 800 MHz is not going to make data speeds faster.  But it will make CDMA1X voice, data, and SMS coverage more consistent around the metro and within buildings.

Yea I knows it wont kick speeds up but the range and reliability will hopefully calm them down and get them sold on thi snew network I keep telling them about.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      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.
