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.

    • Really a shame that Dish wasn't able to get in on this in some fashion, at least in terms of the customers. 4M people would have been in a nice infusion. IMO if Dish wants to grow, they need to acquire a lot of their base, and there isn't much base left to go after that isn't already in control by the big 3.  Growing organically is going to be extremely challenging for them.  They need new branding and lots of marketing.
    • T‑Mobile Shatters World Record for 5G Uplink Speed https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-shatters-for-5g-uplink-speed The biggest news in this is that T-Mobile only recently got access to n258 after swapping their n260 for it with AT&T and they wasted no time deploying it at SoFi Stadium. Hopefully that means we're gonna start seeing a lot more mmWave deployments in stadiums soon. *fingers crossed*
    • Would anyone else be curious in helping me compile a list of quirks for various devices/modems/chipsets for SCP? I've noticed that Mediatek chipsets seem to report more information than Qualcomm. I bought a cheap Moto G 5G 2024 and notice that it displays the LTE downlink bandwidth, and the NSA information of T-Mobile, something that my S22+, which is also Qualcomm, won't do. I'm hoping that we can convince either Google or OEMs to fix their reporting on various devices. So far across all Qualcomm devices I've tested: - NR neighbor cells don't report - NR downlink or uplink bandwidth doesn't report (NR doesn't appear with CA as a result, only showing LTE) - NR signal levels randomly stop updating for various period of time before continuing to update (affects CellMapper more) - LTE CA levels randomly report and don't always update quickly when CA changes   On the S22: - LTE Timing Advance (TA) doesn't work and always reports 0, reported issue to Samsung and waiting to hear back   On the Samsung Galaxy S series (USA - Qualcomm Snapdragon): - LTE downlink or uplink bandwidth isn't reported - T-Mobile NR NSA doesn't report band information, AT&T & Verizon work OK (n5 & n77 tested)
