Seems they've added sprint network capable device to the list. Nice to have options! More devices like this should become the norm!http://www.androidcentral.com/nexbit-robin-now-compatible-all-major-us-carriers-addition-sprint

 

Added a link to android authority speaking about it,http://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/09/23/nextbit-robin-confirmed-with-sprint-support-too/

It looks like a great combo.

 

But well I'll be impressed once they ship and reviews backup the claims.

 

That said the company has some great employees

Looking forward to the user thread from users who have trouble activating a phone they bought on Kickstarter on their Sprint account. 5 pages of SIM card skus with screenshots of their conversation with Sprint International.

If Moto/Sprint had trouble getting the Pure going on the first week, I can only imagine how a Kickstarter phone will go.

I am very happy to see that Sprint is embracing unlocked devices.  Hopefully the One Plus and other devices aren't too far behind.

 

That is not a Sprint issue -- it is a OnePlus issue.  And I do not see OnePlus supporting CDMA2000.  OnePlus is too Asian centric for that.

It's too bad that the Sprint variant does not include full CCA/RRPP compatibility with inclusion of LTE Bands 5 and 12. They do include them in the AT&T/Tmo variant. Bummer.

This was my thought when I saw the specs on the CDMA variant.

 

I'm wondering how the whole adding and removing apps/data from the cloud works in low coverage or no coverage areas.

 

This seems to require constant WiFi or high speed LTE to be fully functional.

Yeah, I'll let others be the guinea pig for that. ;)

Looking at the specs, it shows LTE bands 5 and 12 now.

 

Looks like the NextBit Robin will be coming to Sprint now. Anyone planning to get one? I don't see an ETA yet on the CDMA variant, but the GSM version seems to be available for purchase now.

I'm curious about one thing though. Even if the device has all the Sprint bands, would Sprint allow it on their network? I haven't seen any confirmation from Sprint.

Woops, looks like my thread was merged, didn't see this one. :-) 

 

Twospirits: The CDMA version does not appear to support bands 5 & 12 

 

As far as confirmation from Sprint, the CDMA version isn't out yet, so we probably won't hear anything until it's officially on the market.

Say goodbye to options.

 

Nextbit has cancelled the CDMA variant.

Interesting that they're waiting for so long for carrier coordination.  This is probably the same reason a lot of unlocked phones do not support CDMA.  If the BYOD policy for Sprint/Verizon were the same as T-Mobile/AT&T, this likely wouldn't happen (and with CSIM, it's entirely possible to replicate the same authentication/sim setup as its GSM partners.)

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
