iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus User Thread

So has anyone heard of anything new regarding a carrier update or something to solve the issue of the iPhone 6 and 6+ not connecting to band 41?

Which carrier update is that? I'm on 8.3 with a carrier of 18.0.4.

I have the same PRL. I haven't tried to update it in a while. Let me see if it updates.

I brought this topic up about 3-4 Months ago and many were saying that there will be a sprint carrier update to resolve the issue of connecting to band 41. I am on 18.0 with prl 51104.

Well when I was on 18.0 I was always connected to B41. Now I'm days I'm getting more B26. I figured it was because of Sprint doing network optimization.

Anybody know how to stop Google maps voice directions from playing thought my vehicle's Bluetooth? I know the obvious, turn off Bluetooth. But I was hoping to just use Bluetooth for phone calls.

There is no way. If Bluetooth is connected, it goes through that. If an AUX cord is connected, it goes through that. The only other choice is turning voice navigation off.

Can't you change it by selecting the option in the same place an AirPlay device is shown? I know I can when my Bluetooth speaker is connected. You would have to manually switch back to the Bluetooth connection every call though.

Where is an AirPlay device shown? Excuse my ignorance, I'm new to IOS.

Slide up from the home button to access the control panel.

Another method is that when you're navigating, touch the three dots in the lower right, then mute. Unfortunately that turns all audio directions off, but at least it won't go through your speakers.

That's a limitation in the iOS SDK, I don't believe third party apps can control audio output. Apple Maps has this option if you're willing to go that route. Pun not intended ;)

Wish I could get this battery life, instead I have a device with a bad battery.

 

I traveled up from Chester to the Apple Store at the St. Louis Galleria and had the phone tested, the battery results came back as "Consumed". I went back home last night and did a clean reinstall from the beginning. Took the phone off the charger at 8AM, and the battery is nearly dead at 1:30. Looks like I have a battery replacement I need to do on a device warrantied by Verizon. Lord knows what they would want to charge for that, probably the rate for full device replacement. I could also pay Apple $75 to replace the battery out of warranty. I'm still under contract until November and VZ has refused to budge on converting my account to EDGE device financing.

Apple does battery replacements for free. I got my 5 replaced last year for free. I originally went because my lock button has stopped working but while he was checking my phone he was like oh your just in time your battery was just about used up.

Do you have AppleCare? How old is the phone

Battery Usage Update

 

[insanely sized picture]

 

This is awesome lol.

You on the 8.3 betas? My phone is glitching all over the place and I got 3 hours of battery usage today, even with all jailbreak packages besides Cydia removed. It might be time to leave the jailbreak behind and jump onto 8.3. The restore should also unlock my phone if Sprint actually followed through with what they said.

 

For anyone that's waiting on the CellularInfo jailbreak features: don't worry I have a spare jailbroken iPhone 5 that I use to test CellularInfo.  ;)

What features will be there that we don't have.

Yeahhh 8.3 Beta 1. It's awesome. Even if I don't get 8hrs like today. I've been averaging over 5hrs since I put the thing on my phone. That is of course unless Google Maps is in use lol.

I may have missed something, but does this mean you're creating a non-JB version as well? All of my devices are already upgraded to 8.1.3, so no JB for me, and the beta version you put together is awesome and has everything I need.

Inwas wondering this too. My primary reason for wanting this app was to have an easier way to know what band I'm on. Logging and other stuff isn't as important, even though it's awesome.

The beta is as close to a non-JB version as I can get unfortunately. I was just making sure everyone knew I wasn't abandoning the full jailbreak app. :)

Wait so you're making both a JB version and a non JB version. I thought the reason we didn't have a signal check app on iOS was because Apple didn't give access to that kinda info, am I wrong?

CellularInfo is powered by some private APIs in the CoreTelephony framework. They can be accessed rather easily from any iOS app. However, apps that access private APIs won't pass the Apple App Store Review process. So if I attempted to submit CellularInfo to the App Store right now, it would get rejected instantly.

That's why I'm currently distributing it as a "beta" app using my 100 developer device registrations. That way I can get it on devices without going through the App Store review process.

So, in short: the current beta of CellularInfo is the "non-JB" version. I can't make a "final non-JB" version. :(

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
