Seemingly, every iPhone hater is either a so called expert or a wireless moron.

 

I have a proven track record -- no "so called" necessary.  Thanks.

Because it's a great device? I don't get the constant hate towards the iPhone.

Hatred not so much, its a good phone but there are other devices that can benefit from such plans and their users feel left out. Plus the fact that there are other devices that offer the same or better features and yet all you hear from most of the media and online discussion forums that the iPhone is king.

I appreciate your frustration. I don't appreciate the fact that people seem to blame iPhone users for being pandered to. Comments of moronic behavior should be directed toward Sprint in this matter.

Very well said.  I doubt that I can put it much more diplomatically than twospirits has already done.  But, as I have stated before, iPhone adherents need to acknowledge the damage that Apple has inflicted -- with its exclusionary practices -- on domestic wireless competition in markets around the world and done to CDMA2000 viability in the North America.  That is bad -- all in the name of a phone that many ignorant people see as the end all, be all.

Frustration? Not once did I say I was frustrated. lol nope, none whatsoever. But one doesn't even have to look beyond Sprints and Softbank for an example. Both companies went above and beyond the norm for having the device on their networks and now are offering a unique plan no one else has offered. So by definition of the word, yes they are pandering to the crowd, in this case iPhone users or potential iPhone users.

 

Pandering:

the act of expressing one's view in accordance with the likes of a group to which one is attempting to appeal.

I really want to respond, but I feel we iPhone users are a peaceful group. I don't want to initiate a flame war about who's phone is cooler. It's sort of sad that admins get to bash iPhones, and the plans that Sprint is offering (which has nothing to do with the dozens of users in here), but if an anti-android rant gets posted somewhere, it would most likely be deleted by said administrators.

To be honest I have no problem with people not liking iPhones. I just have a problem with some of the borderline personal attacks towards those that do like iPhones or who wish to take advantage the offers Sprint is providing. That gets kind of personal. I am not my phone man I am a person! [emoji22]

Anyone having issues with really slow data speeds? I can't do much of anything on my phone anymore because it's so bad. I've updated it through ##update# and resetting the network settings and both have helped bat it always goes back to being slow as hell. I'm on a b41 tower so I definitely shouldn't be having these issues.

Are there any other triband users in your group of family or friends that can help verify whether or not it's a network issue or phone issue? Is it widespread or only a certain tower?

I did have a similar problem last night around 8-9 PM in Menomonee Falls.  There didn't seem to be an issue this morning.

I'll test out b41 later and see what happens.

Come on, the iPhone deserves the dislike it receives.  That the iPhone gets special plan perks and that just about every other handset you see out in the wild is an iPhone become nauseating.  Now, if you would like some company, the same is becoming true of Samsung Galaxy devices.

There are days when I just wish I could go back to my old Blackberry 8830...email, texts, calls, and the occasional choppy website. Oh, times were so much simpler back then - and nobody cared what kind of phone I had!

So it's the users fault Apple and sprint chose to team up and market the phone so they could sell more of them? Shouldn't you be mad at Samsung or the other manufacturers for not wanting/doing the same then?

It sure fits the bill better than an "lg G3 for life" or "nexus for life" plan. The masses don't care about devices like that. The iphone is mainstream, popular, and a gold mine for carriers, and they know it. That's why it receives special plans.

Back on topic. Wasn't iOS 8 supposed to have a feature where you could "leave" those annoying mass messages that friends start up? Every time I see the option to "leave group," it's grayed out. I do, however, see a "mute conversation" toggle switch in the message details. Has anyone ever successfully "left" a mass sms?

I just read up on it. Apparently, you can only leave if all participants are using iMessage and have iOS 8 installed. Meh.

    • S23 and S24 (at least ultra versions) have 4xCA NR. I currently have n41+n41+n25+n71 most places I go.  I think select devices have 2xCA upload but I do not think it is in widespread use yet. CA is still mostly download focused.
    • If they use n41 + n41 2CA, people that are somewhat distant from the cell site will have an OK download but the upload will be a disaster.  Upload capability on b-41 was always a disaster on the old Sprint Network.   Now, with n25 + n41 combination, even the more distant users have a more decent upload.  I see n41 + n41 + n25 now with my S22 and I understand that we will see 4xCA with newer phones in the future.     I also see n41 + n41 + n71 sometimes too. Also some other combinations of 25, 41, 71.  I would think that eventually we will see AWS paired with n41 too.  What I am not sure of is ----  when I see 3xCA on my S22, I can see the 3 channels involved in the download but I am never sure just what I have on the upload. I do not think I have 3xCA on the upload.
    • I don't know enough about the nuts and bolts of NR to know the answer, but is there a reason they're not doing two overlapping 100 MHz n41 carriers and using selective resource shutoff to make each one 97 MHz?  Thus making use of the full 194 MHz instead of leaving 4 MHz unused as implied by the current standard 100+90 configuration? - Trip
    • Looks like another T-Mobile 5G bump happened over the past week and a half, maybe less: n41 carriers are now 90+100 MHz, up from 80+100 (which in turn is up from 40+100 back in early March). This is on top of the new n25 carrier recently. As part of this, it looks like T-Mobile is starting to prefer n25+n41 2CA even when pushing data, rather than having higher levels of CA that would hit higher peak speeds; at least indoors I need to force n41-only if I want to see the full 190 MHz there. To be fair the speeds are plenty quick with that amount of spectrum, and I'm sure they're load balancing, and my guess is this is a little better for battery life? With this expansion, they're now at 10x10+10x10 n25, 15x15 n71, 100+90 n41, for a total of 260 MHz (including FD uplink) of deployed NR here, up from 250 MHz a week ago, 230 MHz two weeks ago, and 190 MHz six months ago. VZW is at 140 MHz minus mmW, 170 if you count n2 DSS. AT&T is at 150 MHz (80+40 n77, 15x15 n5), 210 MHz I think if you count n2 and n66 DSS (guessing they're still running those). With this level of spectrum they should be able to continue offering home internet wherever. Guessing this is the last upgrade they can make before they need to throw new equipment on sites for C-Band. At this rate I figure that'll happen next year on a few dozen high-traffic sites.
