Sad, isn't it? Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

Yeah, the tech I used to get at that store wasn't there yesterday. As for your brothers device, was it a brand new or refurb? I don't really want a refurb when I'm paying Sprint for a brand new device. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

Understandable. My friend has my iPhone 5 and I see her charging it more and more than she used to. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

According to the FCC docs, it's midrange. It's not super powerful, but it's not super weak. I'll post figures tonight when I get done with finals #'s 2 & 3. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

While in the Apple store today, the rep kept saying to me and a few others that WWDC is around the corner, and you never know what'll be announced. It seems like even store employees are hoping for a summer release of the 6. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

Update: Took it in, they tested it and everything looked fine except low RAM warnings. They can test dropped calls too and told me how many were carrier initiated, and how many were iOS initiated. Then they told me to watch what apps are allowed to use Background App Refresh. So for the sake of time, I turned it off. So tonight, it did it again. Not once, but twice. However, this time both lock ups happened while the screen was on. So back to Apple it'll go again. Do you think I need to demand a new 5S at this point, or wait and see what they say? I won't do a factory restore as I know it's not the install that's the problem. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

I'm expecting it on all 3 carriers, Sprint, Boost, and Virgin. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

There are note bought boost and virgin subscribers to do damage to the LTE network. I don't think that Sprint should "pull a Verizon" because forcing subscribers to go postpaid for LTE is manipulation. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

When AJ's around, everything takes a 270 degree turn in the odd direction. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

I'll look into that. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

Thanks! It's a good thing I have AppleCare+ on my 5S. Because this time was the longest my phone wouldn't turn back on. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

My problems only occur coming out of a locked screen. It's really strange. Also, do you think they replace lightning cables free of charge? I have 3 or 4 of them that are bad. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

Has anyone had any problems with their 5S not turning on immediately when you push the home button? Mine has been doing it on and off, and 5 times now I've had to force (re)boot to get it to turn back on. I'm taking it in to Apple tomorrow. Hopefully they won't trade for refurb if something is wrong.

See my post here: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4191-softbank-new-sprint-discussion/?p=316863 I really am starting to think they are planning a joint venture similar to EE in the UK. Maybe just between Sprint & T-Mobile, or maybe Dish is in on it too. But whatever is being planned is going to show up soon enough.

Has anyone ever considered the fact that this doesn't have to be a merger? It could be a sharing agreement. All this talk of a merger has been based on Son's T-Mobile comments when Dish was fighting for Sprint and Clear. Maybe what is going on is a massively Epic LTE network sharing agreement like EE in the UK. DT is half owner in that deal, so why can't they work on the same thing here in the US with SoftBank/Sprint? Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2

Did all of you try profle and PRL updates? How about reprovisioning the device? I can't remember the code to do that though. Sent from my Josh's iPad using Tapatalk 2

You have inside information? Because I'm kind of expecting a late May release, if not sooner.

Wow, I'm impressed with Samsungs UI improvements on kitkat.

One other thing to factor in. My iPhone usually says that it has been off the charger longer than it really has, or even my iPhone 5 (being used by my friend).

Yep. Tri-band is the new way for Sprint, and it appears to be advancing fast. The tri-band S3 is probably going to be released this month too.

It's ok. It happens to me too. I find it odd that Apple is going to try to promote the 5c/5S so much just to reduce inventory, but I can understand their reasoning behind it, and hopefully it won't backfire on them when the 6 comes out.

I'm partially questioning their metrics for determining the usage amount. I'll try to divulge later.

It's confirmed the Hydro Vibe is the Kyocera C6725. http://www.kyocera-wireless.com/phones/ However, where is the C6730 with it's Android 4.4.2?

Yes, the Volt is a Spark phone. It's the LG LS740. I wrote an article on it. I wondered what they were planning for that phone. Guess we finally know more. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5S using Tapatalk 2
