Remember that time when you didn't act like a jerk? Neither do we. I guess you just make up "forum etiquette" and "good practices" as you go.

Kind of ironic that your post comes off more jerkish than the person you are attacking.

I want to make it clear here I speak for me in this post and not for the other mods and writers at S4GRU.

 

Android Police has done very good reviews in the past. If people have an issue with the work David Ruddock has done, contact him directly. I'll just say reviewing devices is not an easy job and leave it at that.

Shots fired!!!

Worry not, guys. The person responsible for that post is just the resurrected form of a recently banned member who cursed out the staff in The Forums. He will be dealt with shortly.

Seems like we've had a lot of people banned recently, I wonder why that is?

It's because the internet attracts idiots with too much time on their hands like a moth to a flame. Until the goverment institutes IQ based screening before allowing breeding to occur, we will be overrun much like in the film documentary, Idiocracy.

 

That, and no triband and no beer make Homer go something something..

Yeah, I think it's pretty clear at this point that we just need Tri band to be happy.

Thank goodness that guy was dealt with.  Don't want to mess up the vibe in this thread.

 

You made me realize I had no idea what thread I was in after reading the last page.  I had to check. 

 

So...who else has a note 3?

Apparently Sprint thinks there's a point, or they wouldn't go to such lengths to prevent it.

I imagine with Sprint's high turnover rate, they want to keep their phones locked down in hopes that a customer wouldn't potentially find it easy to bring their phone to another carrier.

i meant i dont understand the point of making a sprint phone work on tmobile buy a tmobile phone if you have tmobile.. back when only a few carriers were subsidizing phones or you could get one phone on one network only i see how that seemed usefull but these days flagship carriers rarely get exclusivity anymore and if they are its for like a few weeks...

i would imagine that would be part of it i also think that its in the manufacturers best interest as well... make the consumer buy two phones instead of just one... world phone were the exception because usually you paid a premium for being able to use them world wide...

After more testing, this phone has the best LTE radio compared to ones I've used (gnex, htcone, gs3, gs4, gn2)

 

I am able to pull 8mbps down and 3mbps up on a -118dbm signal. I just haven't seen that with other devices.

How is the wifi connectivity working?  I've read on different forums that apparently Android 4.3 has issues with wifi connectivity in different handsets (Note 3, HTC One, N4,.....)......

I have noticed that it is quicker to drop a weak WiFi signal than my note 2. Couple of times, when in my house, the phone has switched to 4G. This never happened on my Note 2. I do seem to be pulling in 4G better than the N2, however.

Agreed. In Los Angeles I pulled 26.18 Down and 7.93 up.

 

No typo. 26. I just hope that eventually comes to where I live and work.

I'm using the AT&T Note 3 and there has been no WiFi issues for me.

I just had a 17 hour day with varying signal, three hours screen on time, and I'm still at 56% battery. I even used GPS on the way home without the car charger.  :P

 

The Note 3 has consistently pulled faster LTE speeds than all other devices I have tested (about a 30% increase compared to GS4). The triband GS5/GN4 are looking to be amazing performers if Samsung keeps this up. I am beyond pleased with this device in case you couldn't tell.  :rofl:

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
