I saw this yesterday from Fierce Wireless  http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/sprint-goes-ott-messaging-plus-app-jibe/2013-10-14

 being talked about so I decided to give it a spin. I have to say it works pretty good, including doing video calls on 3G. It is for IOS and Android, so give it a spin, and yes you can do regular sms/mms thru the app to for those others who do not have it installed.

I installed it yesterday but didn't see the point plus all the white is just blinding.  I understand giving the Iphone users the blinding white they are given but other users like black backgrounds as it is much easier to read especially at night.  Besides the cosmetic issues I didn't see the point of the app and will just use handcent since I like the pop up messaging and then use google hangouts blinding white background for the rare video call I do since everyone already has that app.

True, but not everyone trust Google in using most of there services and for a good reason to. As for it being blinding white, I can handle it.

They sure chose a piss-poor name for it. Trying to locate it in the Play Store or Google Search it turns up hundreds of results.

Yeah, no kidding. I'm not sure if it's giving me results based on my, ah, web history, but,

Those were the only apps that came up, and that last result...

Searching just "Messaging Plus" pulls up more. It's ridiculous.

Oh, so it's not just Google saying I need a little more gay in my life? Google seems like the company to do something like that, honestly.

It's probably cause of the tags on the apps. But who knows, maybe google is giving you a hint. Maybe google wants to wine and dine you or something!

What if mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, grams, gramps, nana, papa, etc., do not have your holy chosen phone. Could an an OS agnostic app bridge that gap?

 

Hmm...

 

AJ

An OS agnostic app, already built in to all Android phones, capable of text chat as well as video calls?

 

Google Hangouts. It's even hinted that the next version will include SMS support, which could provide an OS-agnostic iMessage and Facetime like experience.

Yes but IOS is using a proprietary standard of there own making and as always will not share. The way Google is going these days , they aren't earning a lot of trust on the privacy front. This app ask for nothing, is supported by Sprint with the standard it is using and being IOS and Android usable.

I wish apple would have stuck to their word and released FaceTime for all platforms. I heard they got hit with some patent lawsuit, which forced them to change how FaceTime works, which caused them to drop those plans. I wish they would reconsider. FaceTime/iMessage on all platforms would actually be good for apple. I do think apple would benefit from becoming more open. I do not believe the iPod would have been as popular if they had not released iTunes for windows.

It only asks for all of your phone info, control, and even your precise GPS location. Not much at all...

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      The DAS at LGA Terminal B actually has n41 at 100+20, but if you are deprioritized, good luck on the busy days, as all the bands are congested, even B41 and n41, with data being worse than 128kbps international roaming. It has SA active for n41 as well. The L train tunnel is actually 80+20 for n41, with SA n41 active. Speeds aren't anything compared to Philadelphia's DAS system that has n41 though. The gig+ upgrades are expanding, as eNBs 894588 (Sprint convert site) and 55987 can both pass 1 Gbps now. Clocked nearly 1.3Gbps on eNB 55987 today.

      Yup 80MHz C-band + 40MHz DoD for a total of 120MHz. They should be pretty well setup post-clearance. — — — — — Famous Verizon site on Atlantic referenced in this reddit post got moved to the top of the building next door. — — — — — Also looks like I mapped a T-Mobile oDAS node eNB 347812 in Brooklyn Heights. Streetview shows it as one of the CC nodes with no antenna on top as of May 2022 but this specific eNB was first mapped this month. I didn't notice that I mapped it until I got home but the range on it is significantly greater than the normal "antenna-less" nodes T-Mobile deploys. I'm wondering if it got upgraded to the new 5G oDAS design but I won't be able to check it out until next weekend.

      I didn't know they had access to 80 MHz of c-band that does change some things then once that's online

      While I've been loath to update my Samsung devices past the May 2022 update to keep the Band Selection tool, I note that it looks like Android 14 is going to add Timing Advance for NR to the API.  (Was looking today as I have another Verizon A42 5G now that I'm going to unlock for T-Mobile, and wanted to figure out if I should let it update or not.)  Since I can technically make band changes from *#73#, on the A42 5Gs, I can probably live without the Band Selection tool if a later Android version adds something useful like TA values. I assume SCP will be updated to support that once it becomes publicly available.  The real question is whether or not the phones will support it.  My S21FE and A42 5G devices do on LTE, but I know the S22 and the A32 5G do not support it even on LTE, providing just zero in that field. - Trip
