Tweak to view 1x/3G/LTE strength at a glance?

With Tapatalk, it can be easy to miss that you're in an Apple thread. My apologies. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro -
Please post the LTE Engineering screens. You can be the very first to confirm the second carrier! Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

Snapdragon Battery Guru vs Power saver/Connections Optimizer
S4GRU replied to travismheim's topic in HTC
In my use, BatteryGuru works great for standby time on my N5. I can go a full 10 hour work day and commute and only lose about 15% of battery, where it would be about 40% without. It doesn't really help during active use. Perhaps it doesn't work well with HTC devices? Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro -

Comments related to the NV Running List Thread
S4GRU replied to MacinJosh's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
The OEM has to be ready with the carrier cards and the local rebanding needs to be complete and all the rebanders cleared. Robert -
I think he works at Best Buy. Robert

No. Around the country Verizon has either 10, 15 and 20MHz of AWS. It varies by market. But they probably have 20MHz in half the Top 100 markets. T-Mobile has 20MHz in about half the country too. Only Sprint can do 20MHz in all the country. In fact, Sprint can deploy between 3 and 7 20MHz channels in every market. Robert Robert

Houston is going to go from one of the worst Sprint markets to one of the best. Robert

I use Tapatalk a dozen times a day. I remember exactly when they appeared. It is not because of anything we did. I hate it. I need to check with Tapatalk and find out what happened. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

This has been discussed ad nauseaum around our forums. We aren't going to have a new thread on this, especially with how it is being started. The OP needs to read around the site first. Robert

Sprint does have pretty good coverage in the Rochester market. It has way more rural data coverage than Tmo. And it will get even more solid once they are able to deploy 800MHz. However, Sprint's coverage gets more paltry as you go east in Upstate. Between Syracuse and the VT/MA border it is just in major towns and along the freeways. AT&T's speeds are highly variable by market. In places they have 10MHz channels and an average number of customers, they can have the fastest speeds. In markets where they have 5MHz channels and a high market share, they can have the worst speeds. Marketers would have us all believe that one provider trumps all the others. In reality, there is so much variability in how dense site deployment is, the width of the channels deployed, how many channels are available, the quality of the backhaul used in a region, the number of LTE customers in a market, and even more factors...it just is a big difference on how each provider performs in a data intensive world. And it varies drastically from city to city. In places where Verizon has only deployed one 10MHz channel and they have average to high market share, their performance is getting bad. VZW LTE 750 is dropping below 1Mbps at high use sites during peak times in these areas. However, in places where VZW has recently added a new LTE channel on AWS band, speed as have gone way up and performance is among the best. At least for customers who have devices that support the new band. And AT&T has the least enviable spectrum position of all the providers. When their sites start getting to capacity, it can only add 5MHz channels. Or 3MHz channels. And they cannot add very many. In some places they cannot add any at all without refarming 3G/2G spectrum early and to the detriment of those customers. Meanwhile, Tmo and Sprint have started deploying 20MHz channels to add performance and capacity. Because they have the spectrum to do it. AT&T will not likely be the fastest network in any market in the not too distant future. Don't get me wrong, AT&T will be able to maintain a good LTE network. But it will be consistently the slowest of the 4 in the Top 100 cities after Tmo, VZW and Sprint finish building out their 20MHz networks. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

I don't believe so. Many people have created new non Twitter linked S4GRU accounts and then have me merge them with their old one so they can be able to use Tapatalk. Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

I'm trying to figure that out too. It's driving me bonkers! Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro
