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

It's quite a bit longer than I think anyone anticipated, but at least we are close now.

And, as frustrating as it is, wouldn't most of us prefer a polished and optimized product versus a laggy, unreliable product that would only lead to yet another wait for potential bug fixes?  Clearly there is a reason that it's been delayed and Google engineers are no doubt working tirelessly to get it up to par.  Otherwise, it'd already be out.

I think most of us would have preferred spark come out three months ago apart from being included in this update.

I should have gone with a different spark phone. Google is torturing me. Band 41 is now in Vegas and I'm not playing with flashing different radios on my Nexus 5.

Hey guys seriously why complain. Y'all would have been complaining about a bug in the update anyways. Honestly its better to wait. They have knowledge about what they are doing, more than most of us here. Give them faith, and send complaints to them.

Well sh_t yes, but that's not what happened, unfortunately.  The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter, however!

I just wish we hadn't been told "Spark update will come early 2014". If they had said "Spark update will come some time in the future", I probably would have purchased a different phone or waited for something else. 

 

That said, I am getting Band 41 with the .15 radio

This implies that 4.4.2 is polished. Many of my gripes are issues with the last update. How the heck is the delete button/backspace in the keyboard still there.

I definitely prefer a polished update myself. I think the bigger issue is how Google is updating the Nexus phones, which currently is a big update 6+ months since the last update. Of course it'll take longer to deploy because there's more at stake. Had there been more incremental fixes over the past 6 months, then there wouldn't so much riding on 4.4.3 to properly enable Spark.

Keyboard is a separate app; if there's a bug in it (I haven't experienced this with my Nexus 5), it can be updated separately.

I hate the grammar cops, but that one letter made it a completely different statement. And yes, all fines are to be made payable to: "s4gru." :)

No, it really doesn't. These statements are all quite relative, aren't they?

 

What it really means is that huge, glaring issues (such as those they must be addressing even as we speak) really need to be hashed out in beta or even alpha. The small tweaks will forever remain necessary as nothing is ever perfect.

Thanks, that's exciting but way to far for me to flash a radio for.

Nothing is to far to flash for in Vegas... :)

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By JossMan · Posted

      Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
