Are you still sorry, deeply sorry, sorry again?  What are you, BP?

AL And MS coverage still blows Im ready to see both tmobile and sprint at 300million pops of coverage on 4g lte. 

 

Eh, LTE is overrated. Let's get voice and EVDO coverage there first.

true. on sprint coverage map it shows the 3g 4-5 miles short of me but I get 1-2bars of 3g sometimes I think they underestimate their coverage.

That's what they need to get first. LTE can come later, but solid EVDO is a good baseline to have.

As a New Yorker, I don't get this.

 

I do not get it either.  And I do not think that grndslm got my former BP CEO Tony Hayward reference.  But what I do get is that grndslm tried twice, still did not manage to post a working image, and never fixed the broken posts.

I don't know of too many file hosting sites that don't have limits on what can be posted.

 

In my last post that that included the image, I can see the image just fine.  In WiWavelength's quote of my post, I can ALSO see the image clear as day.  Not sure why I can see it embedded in the posts and others can't.  Doesn't make sense.

S4GRU allows standard image file extensions -- anything beyond that in the URL will not work.

 

Additionally, many members use TinyPic and Imgur with no problems.

Maybe you need to be logged in to your account to see the posts... as AJ said, there are many different hosting sites that work just fine. Dropbox, Imgur, Photobucket... just to name a few.

You care to add the "native" 3G roaming?

 

When Sprint actually adds pseudo-native EVDO to the map, it will show up as dark purple, just like regular EVDO. Right now there is no way to distinguish between pseudo-native EVDO and roaming EVDO.

On Sprint's coverage map, if you change "Sprint Spark" to "3G and More" it will give you two shades of dark purple.

 

Correct. That second shade of dark purple is EVDO roaming. It does not denote areas that are pseudo-native. The light shade of roaming is 1x roaming.

What isn't pseduo-native?  From what I have been able to gather so far, it is treated as native.

 

What all of those then are still roaming, and not psedo-native?  Maybe just add the ones that are confirmed psedo-native so far then?  Seems like in the PRL Update thread that a handful out west are.  I know Bluegrass is here on the East side.

At this point, many of the EVDO roaming areas (the second shade of dark purple) are now showing up as native EVDO for Sprint users. However, the map has not been updated to reflect that yet. We cannot treat every EVDO roaming spot as native yet. Not until Sprint updates the map to differentiate between the pseudo-native coverage and roaming coverage.

 

 

I can tell you that Aberdeen, SD 3G and more is native.

 

Yes, but the map does not reflect that yet. I think we've confirmed a number of roaming partners are now native, but Sprint does not show that yet.

      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.
