Emailed the dan@sprint.com team. Response was that there is no information to share at this timeSent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

That's what I expected. But instead of the email response I got phone call after phone call. Problem is, I get no reception in my office so I kept missing her. Eventually she emailed the info I posted.

I'm experiencing very poor GPS performance the past few days. Anyone else have similar issues and have done anything to correct it? I can't accurately track my runs anymore :(

I had the same problem using My Tracks the other night. I went to Wi-Fi advanced options and disabled scanning always on.

I checked and I already have that option disabled. I downloaded a GPS toolbox app and I saw whether or not it could get a fix on satellites. 80 percent of the time it is unable to do so, and when it does its only 4 or 5 and when I start moving it loses the fixes. Hopefully this supposed update this week fixes this as well. ughh

It wasn't until this week that I've ever had GPS issues on the device. On past devices I've seen GPS performance vary largely with weather and season changes, so I'm chalking it up to that.

My battery life has suddenly taken a nose dive sometime in the past week. I typically wouldn't plug it in before I went to bed if it I had ~85% or more battery remaining. By the time I got up, the battery would still be nearly the same. Lately, it's losing at least 50% over the same time period, and I can't seem to figure out why. Using the phone seems to drain it a little faster, but not significantly; the idle battery drain is what I have noticed the most. Not sure what is going on, the battery stats indicate the screen is always the leader in battery usage, but I don't have any apps that turn the screen on by itself, so it shouldn't be a factor while I'm asleep. Unless I'm sleep-phoning...

 

Still love the device, and I've solved it myself by plugging it in at bedtime. I'm guessing there was a Google Play Services update in the background that affected something, that seems to be one of the common culprits. Perhaps it's time to install one of those third-party power monitor apps I see everyone else mention.

 

In any case, my fingers crossed for some magic to happen tomorrow..

I think there was a malicious purpose to the wait...

 

the S5 and the M8 are both LTE advanced phones and so is the nexus... why release spark on an LTE advance phone when they can maximize sales on 2 LTE advance and upgrade an older one later.

 

there isnt any lte advance service out yet... but it does offer much better speed allowance over cat 3 lte

 

of course im just referencing this...

I've noticed the same issue. Normally, since I don't use my phone a whole lot at work, I can get through the day and be back home with around 60% battery life left. Last few days it's been more like 15%, enough that the low battery alert pops up. And I haven't been running any strange new apps, it just reports the screen as the largest power consumer. Not sure what happened.

I don't believe that this has anything to do with sales. The number of people that know/care/seek out Spark when buying a phone has to be so low as to be insignificant.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
