If you remove the GMO sites, Sprint is pretty far along and certainly can be complete with Band 25 build out on Non GMO sites this year.  When you consider how long it took Tmo to do its backhaul upgr

Given Sprint's LTE maps knack for over statement of coverage, it will look more like this on Sprint maps:     Robert

I now have all four carriers. Sprint, Tmo, Verizon and AT&T. I can tell you that none of them are very good everywhere. Every one of them has places on their network that is pathetic. It's nice to

I agree that's why they are heavily investing in LTE 2600. Hopefully the deployment won't take as long as LTE 1900

If Sprint also purchased H-Block of PCS, it'll also increase capacity.  But with the site density and 2600 active, Sprint's network will be hard to beat.  Not to mention, the speeds should also outperform the competition.

Yup plus 600mhz too.

I really think T-Mobile will end up with 600Mhz because they need it the most - but - you're right.  If Sprint had that and rolled it out overtop 800,1900, and 2600, they'd have a ridiculous network.  *drools*

They need new equipment for HBlock.  No phones, antennas, RRUs, or Band exists for H Block.

*IF* there's a 600MHz auction. We don't even know if that's going to happen yet. I still have my doubts knowing how television stations work, I don't think they'll be able to clear out enough.

RRUs can be software upgraded and antennas are compatible. 10-20 mhz out of spec is no bigger for any antenna.

Tmobile will probably get most but not all sprint still needs 600 due to the fact in some markets 800 will only be 3x3 and not to mention there are some areas that doesn't have 600

I think there will be one but the matter is when. Luckily 800 lte will hold us until we can obtain more lower band spectrum

Is there a map I can look at to see what markets has 600 in it?

I seem to remember arguing this point with AJ or Robert months back and got whacked saying that the existing equipment could not be used for H Block.

Wait... why would a market not have 600? Unless it's not cleared (which I would bet on) I don't see why it wouldn't be available nationwide should the auction come to pass.

I think he was talking about 800 not being available in each market - not 600.

You'd need to query the FCC DB for TV broadcasters and see who has TV channels in the 600Mhz range.

 

While it is wikipedia, looks like UHF Channels 32 - 52 to cover anything in the 600Mhz range

Random but I hope sprint can change the 4G icon on the phone to 4G lte like the other three carriers.

 

Part of me thinks that is part of why Sprint pushes out updates faster. That is a small extra step that keeps them ahead in terms of OS updates.

UHF channel 52 is gone.  That is now the uplink of the Lower 700 MHz A block 6 MHz FDD license.

 

Additionally, UHF channel 37 will not be refarmed because it is used for radioastronomy.

Clearwire's spectrum is important years down the road, but the most important need is 3G/4G on 800MHz everywhere. I should not have to worry about voice/data connection in any non-rural area/building.

 

In the meantime, SoftBank should help investors by buying more Sprint shares.

      Feeling the same. Factory unlocked here. Got it for my account's s21 ultras and s24 ultras, but the s22+ is still waiting. Wifi versus over the air made no difference.

      Galaxy s21 leaks and rumors

      By dkyeager · Posted

      One UI 6.1 update: no photo cleanup AI as reported.  Does have:  circle to search, advanced charging settings for battery protection, and customize alarms.  Also has Google's Bluetooth based find my device network option.  Reportedly can (have not tested yet) move subjects from one picture to another, copy from one image past into another, speed up or slow down parts of videos, edit movies on any galaxy device, Samsung account family groups.  The way Samsung should implement the photo cleanup AI for the s21 and s22 series is require people have Samsung Cloud storage at a price or a set fee per photo processed online. *#73# does still work if you previously enabled it.  ADB disabling of system updates does also still appear to work. Does not appear to be a cumulative update (had to do two updates to one phone).
