So wouldn't that make the Samsung ATIV the reverse, or opposite, of life? We can just call it the death phone.   Robert from Note 2 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

ATIV, the reverse the word VITA, meaning “Life” in Latin, is a pledge by Samsung to make everyone’s life extraordinary with excitement.  Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2

Oh, silly AJ, assuming that Sprint employees get any training on how enginerring screens work at all. Most don't even know that dialer codes exist, much less secret menus!

 

I wanted to hear how the Samsung videos pronounce "enginerring," since that is how Samsung spells it.  But, okay, you get a free pass on that question...

You give me too little credit; if you notice, I spelled it wrong in my post, as well, on purpose. I was springboarding off your comment about Samsung's misspellings, pointing out that such videos would never contain such information, as not even technicians are supposed to see the enginerring screens!

Oh, I noticed.  Are you seeking extra credit?  The fall semester is just barely underway, but you are off to a good start.

I'm actually looking at this phone to replace my Blackberry, thoughts?

 

Figured WP is the way to go, at least I can get apps now (Netflix, Pandora, etc.)

You do know the Q10 is released on Friday?

Depends on what you want, If a physical keyboard doesn't mean anything to you then definitely get the ATIV but if you enjoy the physical keyboard there is no substitute, in my opinion.

Yeah it's buckets of meh, in my honest opinion. If I'm going to upgrade my work line, I'd like to get access to at least some cool apps and such.

 

Plus the vast majority of the reviews say the phone isn't all that it should be.

I agree, and I have an iPhone 5 as my personal line, this is just to replace my work line.

Well, go into a Sprint store sometime after Friday and play with both for a little bit and it should be obvious which one you prefer because they are both so different.

Anybody else pick up or try out the Ativ S Neo and have an opinion on it?    I'm a big fan of Windows Phone, still rocking my old Arrive.   The Ativ S Neo seems solid on paper, the major disappointment for me being that it is 1900 LTE only.    Given the ridiculous wait for Sprint to release WP8 devices, goodness knows how long it will take them to offer a dual or triband WP device.

I would guess that if the WP8 devices sold well enough for Sprint they would offer something Tri Band next year.

True... problem is Sprint really isn't promoting the WP8 devices to any significant extent so they likely won't sell well.   I understand few Sprint stores even have the Ativ S Neo in stock, and on the Sprint website it is displayed near the bottom of the smartphone page below two year old and pre-owned devices.    Hard to escape the impression they don't much care if it sells or not.

Oh I agree, it seems like Sprint doesn't really care if they sell or not.

I finally broke down and replaced my blackberry 9900 with it, and am loving it. Great device, great battery life, screen is nice and bright, and Netflix works great!

 

I know there is a small gap when it comes to app selection, but from a pure work device, it's fine.

Not bad at all, very similar to my iPhone 5.

 

I honestly love having a work phone that I can actually use for something besides email.

How did you get GDR3 on it?

 

Sign up for the Windows Phone Apps Studio program (free for one device per Windows account).

Although technically a "preview release" it is for all intents and purposes the final GDR3.    It's working perfectly for me.

trying to figure out why it is coming up LTEAdvance on my Samsung Ativ S Neo which is only a band 25 device.

 

I wonder if Sprint is changing the network type to LTEAdvanced on sites after they enable Carrier Aggregation.  Where was this?

 

P.S. - I moved your post from the Sponsor thread.  You probably posted it there my mistake.

Robert, wouldn't the only way to get 52 down be with a 10x10 pcs carrier? Could they be testing something?

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      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.
