  1. You are telling me. Those produce prices are great.
  2. still doesnt recognize my 16 Gig Nexus. Strange. Does anyone else have problems with Google Voice Voicemail? In many cases it does not download the message at all until I screw around with it. At least it gets notification of one but I typically now have to delete the message, then load the trash folder where this forces the message to download and then I mark it to undelete back to my inbox where I can listen to it and take action. Pressing "refresh" or the little refresh icon at the bottom right of the inbox does nothing. I can let the notifications it for several hours and it still will not download on its own.
  3. Oh i dont know, I tried on my phone. Dont have a hot spot to test.
  4. seems to be okay and works for me, at least 5060 outbound.
  5. that author seems to think you HAVE to go through Sprint to get the device.
  6. probably bad for you since it looks like you are SITTING RIGHT ON THE TOWER. It appears signal check doesnt want to play at those numbers either.
  7. I posted about this previously with my Nexus 5. came down to being a bug i think. The network is putting you on to it, not the PRL at that point.
  8. Thanks for clarifying. Question still remains though about the Maine market.
  9. i cant get over the number 800mhz acceptances in todays updates. Boston alone more than 800 acceptances. Robert, does your source not get 800 acceptances for the VT/NH/ME market? At least two of my closest full build sites went online with 800 over the weekend with all of Bostons. Other parts of maine have had 800 online for quite a few months, some are even off the test SID at this point in Portland. Does AL just do something different up here with accepting versus the Boston market?
  10. Who would have thought that in addition to selling phones and plans for Sprint your job also includes policing peoples morals based solely off ones personal opinion of the matter.
  11. I was out and about to the next city over and the other full build site (adjacent to the one that went 800 live last night) was also broadcasting 800. They must have both been brought online together or as part of a larger cluster. The other sites in the area are GMOs which is why I probably dont see any more. Strange there is no 1x800 acceptance reports for up here.
  12. Someone is working late on a Saturday. About 1020 PM EST my phone ditched the airave and switched to 1x800 from my local tower. Looks like it is broadcasting on the test SID but if it sticks I hope to unhook the Airave soon. Sweet!
  13. Ive noticed on my Nexus 5 that i do not always get alerts anymore. This has been the case ever since I got the phone. I only have it set to vibrate on LTE and 1x800 connection. Sometimes it will work and vibrate but it certainly is not the norm. 1x800 vibrate alert seems more reliable.
  14. What was it suppose to do? I briefly saw that feature mentioned somewhere before I got my device but until you mentioned it now I didnt realize it was suppose to be something new. Maybe it only works on GSM providers?
  15. TW was simply the most vocal about it. Most if not all of the national ISPs did not sign on to it because it was a bum deal for them, as a national ISP and wanting to keep traffic arrangements in their favor a bit more with the likes of Level 3 or Limelight networks, etc and why shouldnt they? They didnt have any problem with Netflix offering SuperHD through the same medium as they have been using all of these years, in fact the extra bandwidth usage may have benefited the ISP at a national level. Netflix didnt want to at first naturally because of the additional costs of sending the bandwidth over the internet but i think they realized SuperHD would never really take off unless they changed their tune.
  16. Wasnt the idea behind this the Netflix SuperHD quality, where only ISPs who signed up for it, would allow their customers to see that new playback quality? Last I knew they scrapped this and allow SuperHD for any ISP now. Also, cable companies (and most other ISPs) chose not to sign up for this, not because they hate netflix but because it shifted the costs on to the ISP. It messed with peering agreements and the like that many national ISPs have and are beneficial to them.
  17. Good pricing that is for sure but I will continue to hold on to my SERO-P line.
  18. what is a sprint spending limit? i know what it sounds like but it must be different than what im thinking of if there is that high of a monthly charge.
  19. Oh cool thanks. Nice to see we are out of the hiding behind the test SID phase and maybe things are in production now in that area.
  20. Using the sponsors PRL (which i have for quite awhile) on my nexus 5, I went to an area that has had 800 coverage on test SIDs for quite some time. What I noticed was the SID has changed to what you see in the screenshot...22405. This isnt a test SID though..or is it? From a google search, this SID seems to have been used in past PRLs for this area..well, at least in referencing the Boston area but was removed. Would this be the 'normal' SID that will be used going forward for 'in production' 800 service or would it be the same SID that is used for PCS, 4106?
  21. Have you considered that the cause was already figured out and the radio update in 4.4.1/2 addressed this? FWIW though I do not see any issues.
  22. well, since they lived up here in maine much of the year this is where they got the phone and established service. No idea who the provider was. I remember AT&T and names like Cellular One. Affected company, as stated in the article was GTE.
  23. Back in 1999 my grand parents went on their annual 'get away from winter' from maine to florida. They would drive down with their camper. This particular trip, after they got settled in they were paid a visit by one of the cell phone companies at the time. Turns out, his cell / car phone had been preventing thousands of users from using their devices for awhile. I can only find one story about this now but I also seem to remember that as they drove south they were jamming everything along the way, beyond maine to florida. Link for reference: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/674585/One-mans-cell-phone-jams-tens-of-thousands-of-calls.html Couple of questions... how would this happen or was that at a time when cell service was at its infancy so these types of problems were still being dealt with? would it take 10 days to sort this out now a days? could this even happen now a days? seems to be a great security issue if so. The better question is, the phone worked perfectly up here in maine at the time without any issues. Were cell networks such a hodge podge of systems back then that consumer equipment could not work reliably across the nation and not take out a network?
