iPhone 7/7 Plus User's Thread

My trade-in phones were received a while ago, prior to my last 2 bills, but have not received the credit yet.  I know Sprint said the credit will be applied in 1-2 billing cycles, but was just checking to see if anyone's had shown up yet.

 

I purchased the phones online and mailed the old phones in using the label I printed off of the buy back site.

Has the iPhone 7 received the update for 3CA? Also, how can you tell if you are connected to 2CA?

Yes, it is 3CA capable. I'm not sure how to tell if you are on CA. Others might be able to answer that for you.

Looks like what would come with a beta. Are there any noticeable differences in your phone's performance?

Received carrier update before I even knew about the beta update....

Quick question to all iPhone 7 users - when your phone drops to 3G, how long does it take it to reconnect to LTE by itself?

my 7+ takes 10 to 15 seconds to reconnect to LTE

My phone doesn't drop to 3G. Sometimes it's annoying cause LTE isn't always moving the fastest. When I turn off LTE it connects to 3G within 30 seconds and when I turn LTE back on it connects instantly I'd say sub 5 seconds mark.

Well that's certainly good to hear. Means Sprint is doing a pretty great job with LTE availability. Do you ever lose LTE putting your phone in your pocket or sitting on it?

Nope, but again just cause I have LTE doesn't mean it's moving. There have been scenarios where I have to drop off from 3G cause I'm getting less than 1mbps of download but as soon as I go to 3G my ping and download speeds are faster than 3G. When I see that i look @ my phone sideways [emoji24]

Yeah...I hope Sprint can shut down PCS EVDO by the end of 2017 and turn up PCS LTE power - LTE is much more spectrally efficient than EVDO and increased PCS LTE power will relieve SMR LTE congestion.

    • 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?
