I have to tell you all I am near tears right now.  I am so stoked that Marcelo listened to us, directly.  I am sure he listened to all the feedback he heard.  But I believe S4GRU was influential in th

I'm still shocked and amazed how successful S4GRU has been in staying online, remaining relevant and keeping quality members and staff all with member donations from a relatively small pool. When we

Maybe he's outside of the city limits. He'll tweet as soon as he's back in town with a data connection.

Live on forever? Not in reality, but maybe in memory.

 

Sprint will have to start taking a hard look at accounts that still have sweetheart "unlimited" data deals, such as SERO and Everything Data. It could be done on a case by case basis. Any accounts that are using "unlimited" data significantly above the average should be allowed no further subsidized upgrades or even forced to switch plans.

The industry just needs to kill off subsidies.

Obamacare should convene "death panels" on subsidy and "unlimited" data.

Too many Republicans would complain about that infringing on business choice. Though technically speaking on the particulars of death panels on technology, they could add a suicide code into devices, such as one if a person used too much data, but then human rights groups would complain.

You are developing a sense of humor.  Maybe there is hope for you after all.

Maybe the announcement is about the arrival of the new Sprint exclusive Sharp Aquos Xx.

It's a neat looking phone, but would Sprint really try to hype up an event to announce that?  Did the original Sharp Aquos sell well?

So they brought back the my way plan that I currently have. I wonder what for? Not unless they are going the phase out the $50 and $60 unlimited. What it did notice is that this plan had the guarantee but it doesn't say for what services just unlimited. When I signed up it said for talk,text and data.

My Way plans haven't gone away. They just stopped pushing them when Framily and all of the no contract plans came into play.

Look at the T&C's:

 

"Usage Limitations: Other plans may receive prioritized bandwidth availability. Streaming video speeds may be limited to 1 Mbps."

 

 

Makes you think there may be plans in which there is no prioritized bandwidth availability...?

Sprint dropped that recently when they committed to net neutrality. They also emphasized that they never prioritized based on plan. I'm fairly certain that streaming video isn't throttled either because I can stream 1080p YouTube just fine.

Apparently they de-committed on the new unlimited family plan. They are limiting that to 600 kbps for streaming video: http://www.s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/7066-Unlimited-family-plan/page__view__findpost__p__427167

Marcelo has a big push to simplify plans and consumer offerings, so if this is plan-related, should be interesting to see

If he's in Tokyo today though, will he be around to introduce anything tomorrow?

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.

      Yeah both of those instances were on my AT&T s22 ultra. Seems ro be working as intended today in latest release.

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.
