When Verizon decide to unplug CDMA, Sprint will have to follow. otherwise, roaming and device cost will be a problem

Which won't happen for years, if not decades.

Instead of making a new thread, can a mod just edit the title of this one as our VoLTE thread?   Also, here's the link to Robert's awesome article on the wall for those too lazy to look it up: http:

I think Verizon and Sprint are taking the right approach. Voice service is far too important to risk messing it up with a network or technology that isn't ready. I for one hope that Sprint doesn't sto

I don't see this being an issue, Sprint and Verizon devices diverged several years ago. Almost all current devices are custom radios tailored to the carrier with the exception of devices like the Nexus 5.

Didn't they say sometime 2021. About 7 years

Which is a loose date. 7 years is still a long time, especially in this industry.

I was wondering if Sprint has made and headway on VoLTE?

 

new deployment dates?

We haven't heard any meaningful info since our article.

Hopefully, a year from now, VoLTE buzz will surface.

I think this is just a glitch from signal check.

 

To clarify, it is not a glitch from Signal Check.  It is a glitch from Android.  Signal Check is receiving info from Android that says that both are connected at the same time, but it is not.  Android is not refreshing the data properly, so apps that use that data can be fully accurate every second.

Well it does only in some places not everywhere or every time, previously signal check would show only LTE but now it shows both connected.And the good part is voice and data shows different SID.

Tweeted at Marcelo to find out if I could get him to say anything about VoLTE, Sprint Care tweeted at me that no date has been announced but to "stay tuned"; this tweet had the CEO Line picture attached. Hopefully by year's end?

I am still using an older Galaxy S4 mainly because I occasionally need data while I am on a call.

 

I really hope they work out something soon. The other networks have had it for a while already.

I wouldn't expect anything in the next 5 yrs on this.

Enable Google voice/Sprint integration and there you go. Phone calls over LTE with the hangouts dialer.

Does hangouts intercept incoming calls if I do the integration?

I'm doubtful it'll take anywhere near 5 years. My guess is late 2016.

Yes, if you enable incoming calls under hangout settings.

 

I'm integrated with a Google voice number, but I'd imagine it would work the same with a Sprint integrated number. Make sure to disable your phone under Google voice settings as a forwarding device so you don't drop to 1X when somebody calls you.

I might give that a shot. Last time I tried to integrate my Sprint number with GV a couple years ago I had all sorts of problems, maybe it's better now.

I'm definitely intrigued. I've had issues with missed calls due to my phone not falling back to 1x to receive calls. My only issue would be waiting until Sprint solves some of the balancing issues. B26 tends to get overloaded at times on some parts of town.

 

How does it handle on 3G EVDO? Any noticeable lag while on calls?

You can have it do that. It's been a while since I used Hangouts for incoming calls, but the Hangouts dialer would always ring before the regular dialer would. If I left it go long enough both would start ringing. One really nice thing about integration with Hangouts is no more eCSFB failing and not letting calls through. It's been happening to me a lot the last week or so, I'm probably going back to using Hangouts for incoming calls so I don't miss anymore.

For a Sprint/Google Voice integrated number, what effect does enabling the Hangouts Dialer have on the Google Voice app?  Is SMS still delivered to the Google Voice app?

Enabling the Hangouts dialer thankfully has no effect on the way texts are delivered.

      It took a couple of months but this site is finally back online.  I was certain that a decommission permit would come through one day since it was offline for over 3 months but I passed by it today and it was working again. — — — — — This site is also finally live. This was probably the longest I had ever seen a site take to go live once all hardware was installed, about 3 months. Hopefully the site in Long Island City doesn't take as long.

      So while we wait for @RAvirani to fix the website, I was able to connect one of my phones to Verizon n77 on a site with an NCI that appears to be adjacent to an NCI that was already in my database. Specifically, the site I call Taylor Run has been observed with these NCIs on n77: 44EEE469A 44EEE46AA 44EEE46AB 44EEE46BA 44EEE46BB I separately connected to the site I call Fairlington on its beta sector on n77: 44EEE46DA 44EEE46DB I'm assuming alpha sector is 44EE46CA/B.  With this data, I learned two things: 1) They're clearly not tracking the LTE GCIs with the NR NCIs.  Taylor Run is 1B61Fxx, while Fairlington is 1B680xx, not sequential. 2) It's clear that they're not using three byte sectors.  They're not even using two byte sectors like LTE does.  It looks to be done in an oddball fashion like how Dish is doing things.  Best I can come up with is a site ID that's something like: (NCI-0x20)/(0x30) It's possible it's actually (NCI+0x10)/(0x30) but I'm not really sure.  I also haven't connected to anything outside my immediate area here to know if this is consistent with other regions.  Not entirely sure how to persuade a device to do so, my Dish phone just connects to n77 at random in lieu of going to no signal.  (No data passes.) My take is to "break" the site notes for Verizon NR the way it was done with Dish NR, so at least the notes don't get copied to inconsistent sites, as has happened when I connected to Fairlington (came up as "Taylor Run").  It seems that Verizon, AT&T, and Dish all need work on the NR side to make sure site notes work properly.  Frustrating that they didn't standardize that for NR the way they did for LTE.  T-Mobile and US Cellular (while it lasts) seem to have done it the way I would have done it.  The others, not so much. - Trip

      I tried to access that forum but it says I need a password. Is it limit to certain contributors?    I was going to report that the website is broken. For days it's been saying unable to retrieve signal data then going to a 404 error.

      It is probably better to post topics related to the map in the dedicated thread to help keep things organized and secure. This thread is big enough as it is, just want to try help keep things on track!
