    Since the Fargo area is 3G complete, there shouldn't be any legacy issues. You will have LTE issues since they are in the middle of testing and adding LTE to those sites. I don't think this is related to the CSFB issues, though you could verify that by going back and checking it out with a single band LTE device. Update: There MIGHT be issues with software at the MSC I guess, but again, most likely once you lose LTE your phone might take a while to pick it up again.

    As long as they limit this to customers on sites like this that have low utililzation (and thus plenty of spare band 41 spectrum to spare), I think this would be great. I'd suggest a price simlar to what Wildblue or Dish charge(and thus higher than most DSL/Cable plans) to encourage those that HAVE access to a wired connection to opt for that instead. Sprint gets additional revenue, and since the costs of running a site like this are mostly fixed, this is good for the bottom line. Also, it puts the screws to ol' Charlie since TD-LTE will be much better than the crappy Dish internet service.

    I think the problem is that the APNs in the phones won't let you connect to band 41 LTE, so if you enable band 41 before the Sprint "update" and you are in an area with active band 41 LTE, your phone will see the band 41 LTE and keep trying to stay on a "broken" band 41 connection, rather than dropping back to band 25.

    In some ways this is perfect, because the areas that DON'T have cable and/or DSL are usually rural or edge areas anyhow. Areas where there isn't dense enough population to justify wiring up a whole neighborhood.

    All of the usb chargers convert from ~120V AC from the wall outlet, to 5V DC. The amperage on them is the MAXIMUM amperage they can provide. The charging circutry on the phone/battery is what determines how much current it draws, limited by the Amp rating on the charger of course. The only downside to using a charger with excessive headroom in the amperage department might be that it's less efficient than a smaller charger since it is likely to be running at a lower current draw than it was designed for.

    Do you know which version of the airrave you have? Version 1, 2, or 2.5? I know most of them need to be able to get a GPS fix, so if you put them in a place where they cannot, then you have trouble What happens if you just shut off the airrave? Do you have any Sprint coverage in the house?

    Does the phone work fine when you aren't around your airrave? If so my guess would be the airrave.

    HTC EVO 4G LTE

    mozamcrew replied to P_M_G's topic in HTC

    You EVO 4G LTE supports 1x800 on your current PRL. I know cause I'm using that PRL and getting 1x800 (when I'm in areas where it's deployed.) My guess is that you don't have 1x800 deployed there. You might want to become a sponsor and check the completed sites map and the market map. That will give you a better idea what sites sprint has in your market, and where they are with their upgrades.

    No dice AJ. Spatula city maybe . . . or you could just look in the Yellow pages under spatulas.

    Curious, who do you have for your home internet service?
  12. mozamcrew
    If you are on one up though, you only get the $15 a month discount while you are still paying off your phone. Right? So this wouldn't help you.

    I think the map IS an exaggeration of their LTE coverage. I think they are assuming usable LTE 700 where they have usable CDMA 800 on the same site. I'm just saying you'd be surprised how much terrirory you can cover with both CDMA 800 and LTE on 700 with just a handful of towers. When you have a flat area with few people and low band spectrum, you can cover quite a bit of territory.
  14. mozamcrew
    Because these areas are FLAT FLAT FLAT with low population density (Maybe not the blackhills, but much of ND, SD and NE is) . A well situated cell site with CDMA 800 and LTE on 700 can cover a huge area.
  15. mozamcrew
    In my experience it will continue to stay on 1900 unless it loses the signal, either cause you go though an area where you lose signal, or because you put it in airplane mode. Once that happens it will use the PRL list to decide what channels to scan for first. Most newer Sprint phone will scan for Sprint 1x800 before Sprint 1x 1900, but 800 and 1900 have the same priority (once it finds either one it won't keep scanning for the other). Unlike when it's roaming and it will keep trying to find a native Sprint signal.

    I'm with you in spirit AJ, but I don't think cows are going to fix this problem. Anyone who's been watching the news knows there is a cow shortage in SD right now due to the number of cows that were killed during the blizzard. I have a solution to this problem though.

    Maybe it's one of those "data centers in a box" things I heard about a few years back?

    HTC EVO 4G LTE

    mozamcrew replied to P_M_G's topic in HTC

    Worse, they also removed OIS from the camera.

    Only if it's a 64 bit value, you've got to think long term! I mean if you are still using a 32 bit value you might as well be expressing it in . . . Hammer Time!
  20. mozamcrew
    Wrong! All of you are wrong! Any math nerd will tell you to use the YYYYMMDD format . . .
  21. mozamcrew
    Ahh, I was thinking it was an uppercase "i". But given that he lives in Lynchburg . . . that would make much more sense.
  22. mozamcrew
    I know how you feel iburg, I'm in a market (Dakotas) where we are 67% NV completed right now, but since nothing has any backhaul yet (gee thanks Centurylink) we have ZERO LTE here and no real speed improvements on 3G yet. I'm looking forward to its arrival though!
  23. mozamcrew
    In markets where they only have 10x10 of PCS A-F I'd agree, they need that all for CMDA. But where they still have 15x15 I can see them splitting off a 5x5 for LTE in the next few years. Even more so in markets like Chicago where they now have a 15x15 AND another 5x5 in PCS A-F.
  24. mozamcrew
    Nickel, you aren't including Sprint's existing PCS spectrum currently allocated for it's legacy 3G network. Sprint controls the 15x15 B block in NYC.
  25. mozamcrew
    I would say that a site closer to your house has recently acquired LTE on 1900. You were probably getting a signal from a more distant site before.
