Yay! New S4GRU countdown clock!

 

If you don't know about our Countdown clock, you haven't been here long enough. ????

Does that mean a shut down of all wimax broadcast? Even protection sites?

 

Maybe all protection sites will be converted to full build. I don't see why not if they have to broadcast 2500MHz at them anyway. If they don't allow consumers to use wimax, wouldn't that mean they'd have to be upgraded to LTE?

 

Do consumers have to be able to use the spectrum in order to satisfy the build out requirements?

LTE only or full builds?

 

Well, in the schedule so far, it is only showing B41 dates.  So we don't know to interpret that to include a full Network Vision conversion, just an 8T8R conversion or even just turning on the B41 LTE on a WiMax Dual Mode station.

well some wimax sites aren't running on dual mode equipment. We have two sites out of three here. So my guess they will maybe throw old dual mode RRUs on those panels, and just turn on LTE, or make them full builds.

This is true.  But not all Protection sites are scheduled yet, either.  So, it could be possible, that all the ones schedules so far to date are on Dual Mode Equipment sites.

The only thing is poor old expedience sites are probably left out again.

It probably means a free refurbished EVO LTE/Galaxy Nexus on a two year contract or something lol

actually last time they gave iPhones for like 99 cents or something along those lines.

This was for iDen to CDMA migrations

Oh right, forgive me.

 

EVEN WORSE! They'll give you an iPhone!  :rasp:

They'll probably give out midrange spark devices that will be part of the same lineage as the Sharp Aquos Crystal to increase triband adoption in the budget range of $100-300.

How much cost savings (or one-time increases) will Sprint book with the Wimax shutdown?

 

About tree fiddy.

I hope we have as much fun with the WiMAX shutdown as we did with iDEN.

 

Not so much.

 

iDEN deserved to die.  WiMAX deserved a chance that it never really received.

Possibly, but that ship has apparently sailed. So we might as well have fun with it.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By PedroDaGr8 · Posted

      Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!

      That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.

      T-Mobile is selling the rest of the 3.45GHz spectrum to Columbia Capital.
