I had a Verizon rep on the phone that I asked how to complain about the terrible service and bold faced lies the sales rep in the store gave me and she said that it doesn't surprise her, and that she hears that a lot about store personnel.

Wow. That is sad that CS knows that store reps are idiots.

Personal lines(3) are with sprint. Work is at&t.

I went with sprint for unlimited data and price. No problems service wise with either. But my wife is fed up with sprint so we might be moving. NV is about 2 years away here. And as much as I want the evolte. Hard to justify another two year contract for dial up speeds.

 

And I have no issues here on my work phone with at&t. Coverage and speeds are good, just worried about thier CS since I dont deal with that at work.

AT&T CS is iffy at times. I had good reps & I had bad. It just varies at times.

So basically no one so far has one line on Sprint and the other (like for work) on another carrier. wow I would think there would be more than 0.

When i went to verizon i had 3 phones on my account plus a data card, and when i went back to at&t i ended up with 7 lines and a data card. I was able to sever my iPhone from the account and get it's own account from june 2010 until i switched to Sprint in march 2011.

I was with Cingular from 2002 to early 2004. In late 2004 I got a T-Mobile prepaid and then in Fall 2005 I also got a Cingular prepaid and ran concurrently with the 2 prepaids until early 2009. In 2009 I tried Verizon. Kept them until late 2010. In May 2009, I went back to at&t and maintained an account with them until Early March 2011, when I ported my number to Sprint. I started Sprint service in February 2011.

Well Samsung does have refrigerators with touch screens running android.

I knew they sold fridges, but running Android? Wow. That is crazy.

You mean that dry, technical jargon is not easy to read at 330 in the morning? Preposterous Josh!

Man, it's not easy for me to read period. One of these days I will understand what I'm reading, but for now I don't. Nothing to do with time of day.

I'm glad that at&t is finally getting their heads out of their a**es and doing something nice for the troops. I have heard terrible things they have done to Service members in the past and it disgusts me. I'm glad they finally have a change of heart.

On Tuesday the USPTO published 22 new Apple patents. One of them specifically relates to LTE and Multi-Antenna systems in the iPhone.

Apple has received a Granted Patent that relates to the field of wireless communication and data networks. More particularly, Apple's invention is directed to the efficient allocation of time-frequency resources of a wireless communications system using multiple antennas, including the asymmetric distribution of data streams among the antennas.

 

Apple's patent discusses the various antennas utilized in the iPhone and related standards such as LTE, UMTS, MIMO, 3GPP, OFDM

Another section in the article describes data access methods, specifically:

For LTE, new multiple access methods have been specified in Apple's patent. For the downlink transmission direction, OFDMA in combination with TDMA has been specified. OFDMA in combination with TDMA subsequently referred to herein as OFDMA/TDMA, is a multi-carrier multiple access method in which a subscriber is provided with: (i) a defined number of subcarriers in the frequency spectrum; and (ii) a defined transmission time for the purpose of data transmission. Uplink data transmission is based on SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access) in combination with TDMA.

Maybe Apple has really over-stepped their boundaries this time.

Comments are encouraged. I wish I had time to look through the whole patent, but most of that jargon baffles me at this time.

The article mentions 2 other granted other patents as well, one of which covers the case to the iPod Shuffle 4th Gen, but the LTE patent certainly seemed important to share.

And threads like this are why like this forum.

 

I do find it odd though, people hating towers so much, simply because when they were building towers in my home town people just said things like "Yeah! now I don't have to stand on my pickup truck to make a call." No really, you had to stand in the truck bed or on something of equivalent height. Did I mention I was from the country?

 

This was more than five years ago mind you.

I live in the country too. Our major streets are 1 mile apart and a block is anywhere from a 1/2 mile to a mile long, and everyone on the street lives on about an acre of land. It's such bliss to be in a small town. I have to stand out back at my house to get a good signal, and even then, sometimes that isn't there either, lol.

Wait a minute, that's not the Galaxy Note, that's the Galaxy Fridge. lol

 

TS

Galaxy Fridge? That would be kind of awesome!

Is that a "Nessy" sighting?

Hey, it might be.

I use my microwave for popcorn.

 

AJ

I don't even use my microwave anymore. I prefer the toaster oven.

But if you want to be an investor in Sprint nows a good time to buy I guess.

Yeah it is a good time. Too bad I don't have extra money to buy more shares right now.
