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.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71. 93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.
    • T-Mobile Delivers Industry-Leading Customer, Service Revenue and Profitability Growth in Q1 2024, and Raises 2024 Guidance https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-q1-2024-earnings — — — — — I find it funny that when they talk about their spectrum layers they're saying n71, n25, and n41. They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
