Got my phone this morning! Mom and dad were nowhere to be found, AJ :-D

Ah, I saw that they were tempted, so they must have moved on to the next big thing.

Guys...let's be respectful of people's choice of smartphone platform. iOS is a perfectly viable platform for many S4GRU members. There really isn't a better OS, there is just a better one for you.

I wonder if Samsung is making another commercial to slam on the iPhone 5S.  Oh Hi Mom and Dad!

 

Done.  Say hi to mom and dad again...

I got up at 3am and hit up my local Sprint store around 3:45. Was first in line, and got the phone I wanted (64gb Space Gray). I LOVE being able to use LTE finally. My first speedtest was 10mbps down. I creamed myself lmao! So far the phone is great :D

I must have a bad radio or something, because I was staring at a NV live tower and couldn't get the phone to switch over to LTE. Pretty frustrating.

I've been using iOS 7 since the first betas came out. Try again.

 

HAHA...I kid I kid.  Well assuming you didn't get a gold one, you should be able to exchange it at a Sprint store.  The alternative could be that you reflash the stock ROM and see if that fixes it.

I bet it has something to do with your SIM card - I had the same problem when I upgraded to my 5; call Sprint and make sure they have the proper ICCID activated on your account.

I called to confirm and it matches what they have activated.

Sorry that wasn't your fix and good luck resolving the issue, it's never fun to have a brand new device and not able to enjoy all of its capabilities. Other than not using LTE, how do you like the phone?

So far, it's pretty amazing. Hard to imagine that the GPU is more powerful in my pocket than the 4th gen iPad from 9 months ago.

Unfortunately, the way Apple releases their products they always one up themselves, even across their handsets and tablets. I am sure the Iphone 6 is already designed with internals left to engineer. I am betting the Iphone 6 to have a 4.3-4.5 inch screen.

Apple probably has the iPhone 7 designed already somewhere... if you've got that massive of a supply chain to manage, you gotta get as much of an advantage as possible. Just like Samsung, HTC, Moto, etc probably all have a very rich pipeline...

THE new 64bit Apple CPU by far trumps most out there - it runs very closely with the new Intel Bay Trail chip. What Apple has done with that Silicon chip company they bough in California 4 yrs ago is really starting to pay off..  what they have next year looks to be pretty amazing.

 

The GPU also trumps other smartphone gpu in most departments as far as frame rates and fill rates.  This is the first time in 4 years Apple has had a cpu & gpu combo that beats most other smartphones.  Besides the omission of band 41, this was one of the best "S" updates ever as far as hardware and addition of things to io7 ( which many should have been there 2 years ago, but they are there which is what matters )

 

These reviews have graphs and what I like about this guy is no matter what products he reviews from where he says it like it is and gives in depth explanations.  He really likes what he does and reviews so many products on a wide range..

I couldn't agree more on this part.  His reviews have always been my go-to for the last few years now.  I find them to be the least bias, and most thorough.  Which, got me thinking, where did this guy come from? So I read the "about" page on his website.  Pretty cool!

I was worked in pc repair about 14 yrs ago.. and most of us read at this website.  He covered pc's, motherboards, cpu's, and gpu's and pc ram LONG before branching off into other areas such as smartphones. 

 

Of course he has evolved with the market and kept his business relevant and viable.  Again, you can see he just loves technology no matter what or who makes it.   I think he is trusted because he reviews the products without bias and covers so many products.

Looks like the 5s is outselling the 5c by a wide margin. Apple also announced today that it sold 9M of the 5c/5s models during their opening weekend. Judging by the carrier chart, looks like Sprint did a decent amount of sales.

I am not surprised the 5s outsold the 5c in the US. The 5c will have boosted sales a lot when china gets the iPhone.

Well looks like iPhone sales beat expectations by far.  Most analyst guess 6 to 7 million ( old record was 5 million from last year )... actual number were around 9 million iPhones sold in 3 days..

Not surprised at all since the iPhone 4S users who are coming off contract are tired of the 3.5 inch screen and want a boost to 4.0 inch scree...LOL...with the fingerprint scanner.  IMO the 6-7 million sales expectation was a bit conservative.

      Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      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.
