  1. Wow, the things I learn are invaluable. I figured it was a fluke.
  2. Keep your phone plugged in and charging as Sensorly loves to eat your battery for lunch.
  3. My Viper has been known to stay connected to Sprint 3G and roam on 1x. Couldn't access 3G data speeds, but the phone showed it was there.
  4. Most likely the backhaul upgrades aren't complete, or by some freak chance, your phone is connecting to a tower much further away. I live in a market with only bandaid fixes and sometimes my phone connects to really overburdened towers. It's terrible when that happens.
  5. Most of the areas that Sprint does not now have service pretty much match up to the areas you see on the map. Network Vision is about replacing their existing equipment and putting in much, MUCH better and longer lasting equipment. Maybe someday down the road they will start to expand to new service areas if there are a sufficient number of people wanting service in that area, but for now it's all about rebuilding.
  6. At the fair the other day it was totally network related, because at home I get all my calls. But down in Tulare I missed like 2 or 3 calls (I don't get many calls, btw). Plus the data service took a total plunge and all I could get was 1x data until I finally got to the north side of Tulare on another tower. So it is possible that even at 5am towers could have been over-burdened. And there is the ever so slight chance that it is your phone. Let us know what happens when you get your replacement.
  7. So during last weeks saga with the iPhone 5, Sprint announced that on today they would be releasing the Galaxy Victory. It's a mid-range LTE device sporting a Snapdragon S4 lite MSM8960 running Dual Cores @ 1.2GHz each. It has a 2100mAh battery with expected call time of 7 hours and standby of 9 days. This little phone sports a 480 x 800 4" screen and weighs 4.9 ounces. The phone has 1GB RAM and 4GB of built-in Storage with expandability of up to a 32GB microSDHC card. In addition, it has a 5 MP rear cam, and a 1.3 MP front cam. No specs for video recording are available from Sprint or Samsung. This phone comes with ICS 4.0.4 out of the box. The Galaxy Victory has CDMA 800 & 1900 compatibility as well as LTE 1900MHz. Edit: According to what I saw on phonescoop.com, the rear camera supports 720P HD Video recording. Also, I forgot to mention: Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n support, as well as a dedicated camera shutter button on the right side of the phone and the power button on top.

  8. LTE sites in the San Bernardino/Riverside market aren't scheduled to start going live until January at the earliest. However, according to network.sprint.com, both towers close to those cross streets are due for data capacity upgrades in the next 6 months. It could just be overburdened cell sites, like I experienced 2 days ago in Tulare, CA where everytime I tried to make a call, all I got was a fast busy.
  9. Apple has always stated GSM 850, and people forget that. They only ever referenced CDMA on 800 instead of 850 like they should have.
