I did my best to not go of the deep end when I read "social stigma" regarding a wireless carrier...

I see much more social stigma surrounding devices than carriers.

It's true. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard an iphone vs. android debate I could have retired by now. Although, I do think that if google and apple teamed up to make one super smartphone, I believe it would take over the world. Siri would "think" and google would know where to go :lol:

Back to social stigma on carriers, I do get crap from my friends(mainly joking) about how poor a carrier Sprint is. Which I don't understand. What works for you works for you, seems like a silly thing to make a class out of. I'm just glad that I won't succumb to living in a cardboard box from my carrier's fees. Sprint offers a lot for a good price :tu:

I actually over heard a shocking conversation while I was at work the other day.  A co-worker that has sprint was complaining about not having 4g even though hes been paying for it(I kept my mouth shut because I didnt feel like getting into at the time).  The fellow he was talking to then asks "How much do you pay a month?"  The fellow with sprint replies " $75 and change."  Then the other guy replies" Well I have 4g with Verizon.  I also pay over $100/month and oh yeah,  my data is capped at 2 gig.  Quit your bitching."

 

Made my pretty happy.

It's very true. I used to have Verizon and I won't lie I was happy with their coverage, especially in my neck of the woods, but the fees were crazy. I used to have 2 lines on verizon with 700 minutes, 2 gigs data, and unlimited text messages which came up to just under $200 a month. It was nuts. I now have 3 lines on sprint, have unlimited everything, and pay less than before.

    • Okay.  I just pulled the Location permission with the app running, and I think it may have closed and immediately reopened.  But I got a notification telling me that "Permission required" while the app itself just said "Waiting for update.." with a spinning circle.  Once I tapped on the "Permission required" notification, it popped up asking for location permission which I then granted. - Trip
    • Thanks! There have been some recent changes to Android permissions requirements that were not documented very well and caused a tremendous amount of problems, especially for users who recently updated to Android 14. Thankfully I have some decent monitoring and diagnostics in place so I was eventually able to figure out what was going on. I'm basically looking for testers to mess around with revoking/denying/granting permissions to make sure the app doesn't crash and the workflow/warnings are reasonably clear. I do know that if you revoke/grant permissions while the app is in use, the app sometimes requires a restart (or at least as swipe out and back in) to get the proper prompting, but it's difficult to control 100% of the scenarios with the amount of background work SCP does with methods that require special permission.
    • So I revoked the permissions before doing the update on my S21FE (Android 12) and when I reopened, it asked me for the permissions, which I granted.  No crashes, all went smoothly.  Is that what you wanted?  If so, I can repeat on a few of my other post-10 devices.  If not, let me know what to do differently. - Trip
    • A new SignalCheck beta release is rolling out now.. this includes several bugfixes, notably issues on Android 10+ devices when Location permission was not granted, and on Android 14 devices when "Allow all the time" Location permission was not granted but the app was configured to launch at device boot. Please test this version by temporarily revoking permissions for SCP and ensure the app does not crash -- it will not work very well due to Android security requirements, but that's the point..
