I don't know about misleading, more like confusing. Sprint calls its entire Triband LTE network Spark. All three bands working together. So, therefore, anytime you have an LTE signal, you get the Spark logo. I agree with your sentiment though. Sprint would have done better to save the logo for their fast Band 41 LTE service only. And it would have saved a lot of confusion. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

Alltel areas in New Mexico and South Dakota no longer have CDMA available. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

Yeah, I forget that NexTech is not native anymore. But you guys understand my basic premise. 95% of EVDO was deactivated years ago and most of Sprint customers will NEVER roam on EVDO anymore. Regardless of Sprint's screwed up maps that don't mean anything. Robert

True. But very little left.

I've never experienced a problem like this before. Sure makes you have to be concerned something is screwed up on your device. No bueno. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

Sprint blocked EVDO roaming years ago. You can only get EVDO roaming with a custom PRL. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

I still roam on my Triband Nexus 5 in South Dakota on Verizon for 1x and EVDO voice and data with my Sprint SIM in the phone. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

I looked at the OOKLA speedtest rankings yesterday and found about two dozen new places where Sprint has pulled ahead of AT&T. There was only one the last time I checked. It's getting better and better every month. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

This has always been the case. Even with EVDO and 1x. When you have an active data stream going, it will want to hand off to the same technology and band. Only when it cannot find the same technology and band does it start exploring other options. While you're in an active data stream, it just does not look and find something even niftier that may be out there. It maintains the status quo unless you no longer can keep your data stream going. I get the same on other providers too. On VZW, it will stay on 700MHz, even when I get into AWS coverage that is faster and more robust, if I am actively in a data session. And AT&T, it will not move move WCDMA to LTE just because I drive into coverage if I am using an active data session. Not until there is a long enough pause for the device to scan or the network to shunt you, you'll stay on the current technology/band. I'm not sure if it's limited to do that and there is no other choice, or if networks have just been set up that way. I guess that would be a good question. I have been handed off B41 to B25 in an active data session before though. I started on B41 and drove out of B41 range and into B25. It did hand over every time. But it did not even try to connect to the really strong B25 site until B41 was unusable. It wanted to stay on B41 as long as it could. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

The biggest reason why it was deleted is it was spam. We don't accept Verizon advertisements without payment for services. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro
