anthony.spina97 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Also, I only have a very weak LTE signal at my office at about -110 dBm on B26. I wouldn't call -110 on Band 26 "weak". That's actually a pretty decent signal. I get a -114 signal at my home (not all towers around me are broadcasting/optimized yet) and I can still yield speedtests of anywhere from 3-10+ mbps. -110 on Band 25 would have been bad because of how easy it is for it to deteriorate from the high frequency, but since Band 26 propagates so well (in regards to Band 25 propagation) a -110 signal isn't too bad. Just my two cents -Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacinJosh Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Does the Field Test trick still work with iOS 8 and iPhone 6 to keep signal numbers up top instead of dots? Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucdenny Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 If it's an issue with iOS, it'll be fixed in the next update. If it's an issue with the screen, apple will replace the phone for free. All new devices and operating systems have their faults. Went to the Sprint store today gotten my phone replaced. So far so good, no more issues with screen being unresponsive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle_4thousand Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Bringing up the 1x800 topic, I noticed that yes, it appears it is difficult to get the phone to attach to this frequency under normal conditions. However if a call is initiated when the phone is connected to B26, the call will connect through 1x800.

sbolen Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I've had 3 calls today go straight to voicemail without hearing the iPhone 6 ring. One was a WebEx conference callback that took two tries before it went through... it was kind of odd. I'm either on 1x or B41 or 26 LTE at the house, so I'm curious if something is afoot, or if I'm carrying a goofy device. I also had some problems with my WiFi speeds. My last speed test on my Laptop via WiFi: And on my iPhone 6: Download Speed: 40.84 Mbps Upload Speed: 4.98Mbps Ping: 57ms I reset my network settings, but it's still pulling less than half of the speeds that my Laptop is pulling on the same network. It's bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call or tweet sprint care to check on the network. If it turns out it's not a systematic issue i would see if you can replicate the issue at the Apple Store and get an exchange.

jamisonshaw125 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I can attest to the wifi issues. I've been experiencing them mostly on my 5s when I had it. Wifi appears to be okay with the 6. Side note: doesn't this happen every single time apple releases a new ios and phone and the whole world freaks out haha.

Steve Dean Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 http://www.sprint.com/legal/unlocking_policy.html Thanks for the info. Already read this. Since it says it may not necessarily work does not mean it will not. Just wondering if anyone has tried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rf40928 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I ordered the 128GB Gold 6 Plus, and for the price, I can understand that they might have less orders than the smaller, lower priced 6 Plus models. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk I ordered my wife a gold iPhone 6 128gb Plus last Tuesday around 1030am.. I got a call from the Sprint store this morning and picked it up around noon. The manager told me he had seen a total of only three iPhone 6 plus models including mine and he was surprised mine came so fast but "it had to be because mostly have ordered a 16 gig or 64 gig model " .. My wife is happy and it came in only 6 days.. 3 days after launch.. It's fast and the screen is rich looking... Can't get it to hiccup no matter how busy it gets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroepcke51 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 My wife started playing with my 6 last night. She has a 5s. She is basically sold to the bigger screen. She was complaining about how big they were getting but once she had it in her hand and started surfing/calendar lookup and other items, she loved it.

My wife went the other way - "that's way too big for my hands." I hope Apple keeps the 4" form factor for a while - teens and women could have trouble with the 4.7" as a base size.
