I had the issue of no 3G when LTE was weak or turned off. It would flicker between 3G and 1x for a little bit then stick to 1x (also nice that it says 1x now haha).

 

I had to restore my phone (for yet a third time today, due to various annoyances) to make 3G work again.

 

I swear every time a new iOS release comes out there is something not getting along with the sprint network.

I installed iOS 7 last night on my iPad but so far I am not liking the look. All of the UI elements look like something from a preschool device. I don't use iOS much, but I couldn't find any way to get rid of that opaque dock bar and make it translucent like previous versions or make screens feel less "white". Not trying to upset iOS zealots, just asking if there are ways to customize or at least dial down the look of the UI.

to some extent there is. A lot of it is buried in accessibility. You can't do much though other than disable the transparency and the 3D effect of the home screen. You can always invert colors though to get rid of the white.

Try different wallpapers, as I think that has an effect on the dock. Also spend some time in Settings as there's a lot of little new tweaks in there.

You're telling me. I had two (separate) absolutely bizarre cases today that both arose from having the wrong SIM in the phone.

 

The first, a brother and sister, both with iPhone 5's, had at some point in the past swapped SIMs (mistakenly), which upon the iOS 7 update, caused one phone to activate as the other, and the other to not activate at all and display "invalid SIM". Whoops.

 

The second, everything on the phone worked, but after the iOS 7 upgrade, iMessage showed a strange, invalid phone number as the phone's "phone number", despite the rest of the device showing his normal one. Quick SIM swap, he was on his way. After, of course, twenty minutes of me banging my head on the table wondering what in the world was wrong.

 

So much for the SIM only being used for LTE auth, eh? Of course, the people in both of these cases had no 4G (despite us being in a launched market), and just assumed there wasn't any...

Sprint needed to get completely on the C-SIM bandwagon (which I hear they are finally starting to do) I don't think it's coincidence that the iPhone on the three carriers that actually utilize a SIM didn't have any problems with the iPhone 5 when it launched, but Sprint the last one to be stubborn and hold out had all kinds of problems. 

I do hear the 5S fully utilizes a SIM card now??

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!

      Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.

      It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
