Sprint splits from industry, is OK with Title II for net neutrality as long as wireless has flexibility

Republic wireless did a good job hand over WiFi to cells. Thought it is an over-the-top solutions

I drove to TriCity the other day and found out that on WA12 my Nexus 5 would sometimes jump to 1X on native sprint network

Maybe it is used for fixed wireless. So 2600 only?

My Nexus 5 has problem stick to my Airave. Sometimes it would just drop off and show up no signal or roaming. Sometimes, it won't connect to EVDO.

Is it possible they have T-Mobile work out a way to take Sprint SIM?

Yep, sounds like it.. 

 

 

 

 

In all seriousness, if your phone has been fine, but is suddenly showing wacky network behavior, it's probably a network issue. Try rebooting your device, and if that does not work, try it in another area or wait a day or so. Or you can contact Sprint and see if they are willing to tell you anything. Just be wary that they may jump to the conclusion of a device issue, and that might not necessarily be true.

I drive by the same route on I-90 in central Washington State few weeks ago. Same problem. EVDO only, no eHRPD and sometimes kick back to 1X

I drove by some in Central Washington today and found my phone stay at 1X

So I toggle it into airplane mode and back a few times to get my 3G back. It could only parked at EVDO not eHRPD. And it is struggle to stay on EVDO. It keeps jump back to 1X or no signal and then back to EV-DO.

Is it an network outage or device problem?

The difference, of course, is that T-Mobile's non-LTE phones are capable of using T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, which offers a decent experience for people too. Sprint doesn't have that option, so it pushes harder to upsell to LTE devices.

In my experience, TMO's HSPA+ is not as fast as it claims. The real speed is like EVDO's speed as if you are the only person parked at that tower.

There are lots of smartphones that TMO selling right now are not LTE capable while most of Sprint smartphone are

22408 is Denver,CO not sure where you are but if not close to Denver it is possible. I don't remember off hand what regions they were using as test sid.

Denver is far away from me. That may explain why my Nexus 5 is trying hard to stick to PCS

In my area, RRPP member Inland Ceullar does not have LTE. Sprint went in and build LTE for them.

I saw when my phone was on 1X 800, thre SID is 22408.  Is it a test SID?

It looks like T-mobile's LTE is IPv6. Also as Verizon.

 

• Postpaid net loss of 272,000, prepaid net adds of 272,000

What a coincident!

Any idea when this is going to be released?

Remember, both of Sprint and Verizon has Internet services as well.

They'll probably give out midrange spark devices that will be part of the same lineage as the Sharp Aquos Crystal to increase triband adoption in the budget range of $100-300.

But remember most Clear user were using modems. They may need to receive an LTE modem.

"Available of no or low cost comparable device".  Does it mean those user can switch to LTE?

I don't think Sprint has carried any Lumia device before? This is new. With Sprint & GV integration, I might be able to jump over to Windows

Karma's data price is similar to Ting and you don't have to pay $6 monthly fee. It only works for occasional use. Not for heavy usage. We rarely see a good pricing from any MVNO for heavy user. 

I just tried my metro smarttrip card from my last trip to DC and my phone read it just fine. I also found out that DC is planning to install a new system that will allow you to use NFC phones and RFID credit cards to get through the fare gates.

Maybe they changed. I can't read my smarttip on my nexus

The crazy thing is that many cities like Boston and Washington DC use NFC stored-value cards on rapid transit, but the machines for adding value to the cards, which have an NFC reader, don't accept NFC payments from Google wallet or RFID-enabled credit cards.

Boston's Transit Card is NFC and you can read it with your phone. But washington DC's metro card use different frequency. Your phone cannot read it.

OK, some more details, courtesy of Fierce Wireless:

 

"We acquired from Sprint the top 20-25 markets, 60 percent of all the 900 MHz spectrum," O'Brien told MissionCritical Communications.

So what happens to the other markets? Is Sprint going to sell it piecemeal to utilities? Would Solinc be interested?

Earlier in the article, it says " acquired all of Sprint's (NYSE: S) 900 MHz licenses". I guess it means Sprint does not own the remaining 40% license.

What's test SID? I need to check if that's the case. In my experience, they drop my call.
