Note 4 in hand!   Gosh how could I have been without the spinning Spark icon for so long!?!   WiFi calling sounds great!   Not at a Spark tower, will try that later.  I know the network parks yo

For $300 above the Note's premium price, it best come with CAT 20 and connect to towers in the next state.

Sprint made a few changes in that system wide shutdown yesterday.   1- The $24 price difference between ordering the Black and White Note 4 is not longer there. Both colors are the same price now.

Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Pre-register site is up now.

 

Sprint will be offering both the Note 4 and Note Edge.

The only carrier offering both versions. woohoo

 

and from the statement, it might seem like it will be offering the Gear VR too. hmmm

 

I wonder if they truly will be the only one?  It could be a creative press release saying you can only get those phones with Sprint Spark on Sprint :-D  Of course the VZ version wouldn't have Spark.

I'm trying to find pics of the Note Edge. Please post if you find one. Thanks.

Great pics here.

 

Disappointed the battery capacity drops to 3000mah on the Edge :/  I know that isn't a huge difference but it is a compromise.

All four of the major U.S. carriers have said they're carrying both the Note 4 and Note Edge.

Why did they drop usb 3.0 in favor of usb 2.0?

 

Edit: Oh I see. Why did they bother throwing it on the GS5 then?

 

"This year, the phone maker went back to USB 2.0; the product managers said that not many people were using the 3.0 port for data transfers, so they didn't see the point in taking up room inside the phone for that purpose."

I'll be bummed if it doesn't support Carrier Aggregation despite having the Snapdragon 805.

 

It will support carrier aggregation.  But it may not support band 41 carrier aggregation.  We shall see.

Its interesting to note from the specs that the Edge is smaller in height but a bit wider. The display according to these specs is also smaller but does that include the side panel or not?

I'm still holding judgment right now, kinda want to see the Nexus X. I miss my S Pen but don't care too much for TouchWiz. Hmm, too many decisions to make.

 

Agreed.  Maybe it is a good thing we have to wait a month.  Hopefully we'll know something about the X by then.

Yeah, I don't hate Samsung. Just to make that clear, they have good phones. I love Motorola though, and if the rumors are correct the Nexus X will be sweet. My only problem is will Otterbox make a Defender for it? I need a rugged case where I work.

Anyone seen if the battery is still swappable? I saw its a bit bigger and charges fast with the Samsung cable but not if its still swappable.

It would be a pretty big screw-up if band 41 carrier aggregation wasn't supported... Phone doesn't release until October and Sprint has already announced that they will have 2 carrier aggregation up by the end of the year. They wouldn't do that if none of their phones could use it.

Besides, what other phones will be coming out that could support it?  MAYBE the iPhone 6?  Only other would be Nexus X.  We may get an idea of that when the new Mot X is announced tomorrow.

With the way Apple is so slow with cellular network support I bet they don't add carrier aggregation until the next iPhone.

The battery is indeed replaceable. I saw a hands on video of someone taking the back cover off to show the battery. I'll see if I can find the vid.

 

*Edit*

Here is the video I was referring to:

It wouldn't surprise me. The Galaxy Note 3 wasn't triband.  :td:

I'd prefer to see a better, more shatter proof screen than water resistance.

 

My wife dropped her GS5 one time, and the screen shattered big time. Dropped prior phones multiple times without shattering.

Do you even case, bro? :-)

 

Every smartphone I've had I bought a Seidio Convert case for it. No shock issues ever. The waterproof cases are a lot more clunky.

no thanks.

 

Hate paying high dollar for a premium, sleek phone and then adding a huge, ugly bulky case to it.

Bulky? My first cellphone was a bag phone. Tell me about bulky again? :-)

 

I hate these tiny, flimsy phones with no battery life.

I generally like Seidio cases, also.  Let's see what they can design for the Edge! :)

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
