The audio argument is really tedious. If you want higher audio quality, pay for the premium data. Not really that hard.

Not really arguing in these posts. Mostly just a fair discussion over audio. As I've said though, rate plans seem to change quite often, and I think Sprint and T-Mobile probably are going to change a few things on both of their plans. Already on the T-Mobile side, there isn't much popularity to the T-Mobile One plans, particularly from reading the comments on TmoNews.

 

Between the unpopular plan changes and the Note 7 battery issue, kind of a downer amidst the IFA show I've been reading about online in searches among these other issues.

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

Pay for it, if you want. If not don't. Simple.

Now I'm confused. Where did I say I wanted the plan or not? I have AT&T and am not planning on switching to Sprint at the moment. Doesn't mean that I can't have an opinion on their plans. Besides, I haven't even mentioned the Sprint plan for a while now. This thread has been a discussion over other things now for some time.

Arysyn, you are arguing, or debating, whatever. Time to agree to disagree!

Where have I argued lately? I've been saying in quite a few of my past posts that everyone has their own opinion and their preferences in smartphones. I don't think I can be any clearer by that in doing exactly what you suggested.

Agreed. Can we stfu on the cell phone audio? I come here to read about Sprint, not cell phone sounds.

I did tweet something last night about no coverage in a particular area and the only response from him was he liked the tweet.

I tweeted him yesterday and he replied to me today asking for a direst message about issues I'm seeing.

I'd argue though that while 4k is important to a degree, if its going to be in smartphones, it needs to have a battery good enough to handle it. My opinion is at least 5000mah for it.

Nope. Arysyn we already had a 4K phone.

We live in 2016, we don't just throw things at it. We make stuff more efficient.

3500-4000mAh on a 5.5-5.8 phone will be perfect for 4K.

Two question for the collective here:

 

- CA is just for speed increase and not coverage correct?

 

- does Boost have any downside if using it strictly to test coverage for voice, SMS, and data? On one of their low cost phones?

It is my understanding that CA helps cell edge performance.

Won't help with coverage. Just speeds

 

As far as boost, some of their low cost phones may not have CA.

That's fine -- it's just to test drive the network. I find it's easier and cheaper than signing up for post paid just to cancel in a few days.

It most certainly does:

It most certainly doesn't.

 

Beamforming ≠ Carrier Aggregation.

 

Not the same thing. If Johnner has a triband phone without CA capability, then he won't see a difference in coverage if he were to pick up a CA capable phone.

According to the information provided by sprint beamforming increase cell edge performance by 20 percent and beamforming +carrier aggregation increases cell edge performance by 50 percent. So it does.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.

      Saw that for a while. Now back to n25 + n71 + n41-100Mhz + n41-90Mhz.
