I had a Sprint product development employee reach out to me this morning after reading this thread. His message says:   Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

I personally do not see why people are talking class action over a software update. Where were these people when the locked to boot loader on the photon and put android 2.3.5?

 

Guys need to chill a bit... Do you want t a fast release and poor experience or slow release and better experience?

Is there a reason why this phone continues to go to GLOBAL when LTE is recommended under Preferred Network Type?

 

I'm curious myself.  I see this changed everytime I do a PRL or Profile update.  But with my short sample size, I do notice better coverage in global.  My guess is "LTE (Recommended)" is baked into the Google rom, and "Global" is default for Sprint with their network (hence the change from Sprint network type updates).  But that's only my guess.

I've been using the. 15 radio for the past 4 days instead of my HTC One max and this radio makes the device pretty much act like a single band with very quick reception times. As a recently made one max has been jumping between 3G and 4G I think the two towers work and issues so it's nice to have something that's consistent again

If anything, it would be the other way around. LTE puts the phone in CDMA/LTE mode. Global puts the phone in CDMA/GSM/LTE mode. That's it.

im wondering... anyone else know if other networks have issues with the different radios? i.e. Did the .23 radio improve performance on GSM networks?

No difference when using it on band 4 or band 17.

Had that issue this morning. It's pretty annoying but doesn't seem to happen that often.

Everyday for me... My nexus 5 and 7... Because the campus here is thick concrete. No one has signal or barely

My battery life has been significantly better since the camera update. Guess that bug affected me more than I realized.

Same here. I honestly didn't think I was being affected by it at all. I guess I was wrong.

My battery is almost the worst in a phone I've ever seen. I'm stock with almost nothing running, and that snapdragon battery guru. It's like 1% a minute while using it.

Really? I'm completely stock now with just battery guru going and I'm getting 21 hours and 15 minutes of use, 3 and half hours of screen time. How many apps do you have set to refresh and when does your low power mode and etc activate?

Sorry I should've been more clear. In the battery guru app you can click the apps header and set refresh settings for various apps. Thats what I was referring to.

Also, your network signal is really spotty... That drains battery.

Mine is worse than his 90%+ of the time so I doubt that is what's causing him to get half of what I do.

      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....
