I just got the update. I went to the app and turned off auto-update, turned back on and then refreshed the app and it started downloading.

 

The app is much cleaner, smoother, and has a touch of Material Design. It also tells you data usage in gigabytes now. I love it!

Cool! That apk works in my Nexus 5! None of the previous ones installed successfully. The device diagnostics tool is pretty cool.

 

Unfortunately it says usage data is not supported in my device.

I get the same thing on my Nexus 5 after side loading the apk.

Hmm, it doesn't recognize my phone number and won't let me log in saying mdn is required as a parameter.

Interesting.  Did you have a working Sprint Zone apk on your Nexus before?  It may be the way Nexus authenticates with Sprint, since it's not an actual "Sprint" phone.

It works with the Nexus 5 if you manually override your device and account info. You will need root.
Open this file:

/data/data/com.sprint.zone/shared_preferences/com.sprint.zone_preferences.xml

Add the following lines with the correct values:

<string name="funnyPref1">%NAI%</string>
<string name="funnyPref2">%MEID-HEX%</string>
<string name="funnyPref3">%RESELLER-ID%</string>
<string name="funnyPref4">%MSID%</string>
<string name="funnyPref5">%PRL-VERSION%</string>
<string name="funnyPref6">%MDN%</string>
<string name="funnyPref7">%MAKE%</string>
<string name="funnyPref8">%MODEL%</string>

Mine looked similar to this when I was done (real info masked):

<string name="funnyPref1">myname00@sprintpcs.com</string>
<string name="funnyPref2">0123456789ABCD</string>
<string name="funnyPref3">Sprint</string>
<string name="funnyPref4">5045551212</string>
<string name="funnyPref5">55021</string>
<string name="funnyPref6">5045551212</string>
<string name="funnyPref7">LG</string>
<string name="funnyPref8">Nexus 5</string>

I found about these settings last year by reverse-engineering an older version of the app when it didn't work out-of-the-box on my Nexus S. They seem to exist for debugging purposes and will override the (not) detected values.

Thanks! This did the trick! Also, as far as "funnyPref1" goes, each person will have to figure out their NAI, mine ended in 02 instead of 00. I used the Nexus 5 Field Test app, then Settings(view) --> Data Profile --> View.

Not working on my flagship (non spark) S4. Got a box that popped showing "Describe Error" and said "There was a problem parsing the package"

Yup, the new update installed at 3:45 am this morning and gave me the Extra "Fun & Games" app on my Moto X. Tried opening the app but it does not work giving me an error to try later. Tried opening the Sprint Zone and same error message.

 

Uninstalled update and the "Fun & Games" went away. 

 

Disabled Sprint Zone, I really dislike bloatware.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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?
