I would just like to know how often do you guys check s4gu. I find myself every morning checking on lunch and when I get off. I would say I may be addicted lol. How much do each of you spend on s4gu a day?

Tapatalk makes it too easy to check. If my data is working I will browse on my phone since Tapatalk is easier to browse.

Yeah, this about sums it up. Check Twitter and S4GRU when walking between meetings and whatnot

I used to hang around XDA and get my Sprint fill there in the S2/S3 general sections but they have since become strict and made the general sections pretty limited to discussion.

 

In the end, I used to be on XDA all the time but now when I open Tapatalk, this is the first site I load. And now I rarely post on XDA, and this place is just so awesome.

It's not a habit, it's cool 
I feel alive 
If you don't have it you're on

I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)

I am subscribed to certain topics and discussions, so when I receive an alert via tap a talk on my phone anytime there is a new comment. Honestly, I get a rush anytime I see a new alert show for this site on my phone. 

 

This site is great, the forums are fantastic, so much good information, and no one is demeaning anyone for asking questions, like other forums on other sites I know of. (Phonescoop)

 

 

So needless to say.. yes.. I am addicted to this site! Glad I found it!

The problem with Phone Scoop is that the comments there are basically the blind leading the blind.  People who like phones frequently know little about actual wireless engineering or regulation.  After my Howard Forums residency but prior to my current S4GRU tenure, I used to post lots of scathing corrections in the comments at Phone Scoop.  Once S4GRU emerged, I left Phone Scoop comments as the intellectual wasteland it is.  But I did today just post this snarky correction:

My wife used to comment on how often I was on my phone. Until she got her G2...now she is on her phone more often than I am on most nights.

I agree. Your comment on PS was right on the dot too.

 

I use to be on those forums since 2005. Anytime recently, when starting a new thread, you get either no comments, or a snarky one. besides the news articles, the site seems to be pretty dead, and the only threads that seem to have any traffic is the lounge or shop talk.  I am not trying to bash another website, but just saying.. I really appreciate this site, and glad I did find it. The conversations, and threads here are so productive, and I have learned so much here.

Yes, though I am unsure if Phone Scoop's total traffic is down, its comment activity certainly is not what it was a few years ago.  That is probably for the best, however, since so much misinformation has gotten passed around in Phone Scoop comments.  As many other sites have done, maybe Rich and Eric will switch over to the Facebook commenting system -- Phone Scoop's informationally challenged core would fit right in.

Well if you meant "Kentucky," my home state and prolific NCAA basketball title winner, then that would be entirely understandable. Many are addicted to KY basketball. However if you were referring to the OTC KY that one might purchase from CVS then, well yes, that's quite a different story.

      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.
