    would love to get this phone and i see it supports all of sprints LTE bands but not sure about 1x for voice. Looks like BC0, BC1 and BC10....what are the odds this can be activated on a sprint line?

    Band 25 and 26 were back today for me. Not sure what the deal was.
  3. swintec
    Yes, as of today, I can not find any band 25 or band 26 (band 41 shows up when available though). I am stuck on tmobile or USCC roaming (as needed). It very well could be something with my aging Essential phone but the timing is suspicious of course. I am in Maine where we have always sort of been the red headed step child of the sprint network in regards to timely upgrades.

    unfortunately, this did not seem to fix it on my Essential phone. i will send over a diagnostic report right now. thanks for attempting to fix though.

    just out of curiosity, what was the reason android 10 started having stale data?
  6. swintec
    frozen / not updating for a long time signal check info continues to be a problem.
  7. swintec
    yes, the time does refresh every 3-5 seconds (not sure if that is normal as ive never enabled that before) while it displays the stale 1x and LTE connection data.

    1) as far as i know yes 2) will try that 3) i can say most definitely no, when moving in a vehicle SC does not update and exhibits the same behavior. One day earlier this week I was driving and thought band 26 was somehow extended further because SC was stuck displaying it but come to find out i was actually on USCC band 12. it will eventually update but it is no where instant like it used to be.
  9. swintec
    i submitted a report but as promised, a screenshot showing SC and then the actual system LTE reporting. Since the last update, SC is holding on and displaying LTE bands that it has long since been moved off of. It has tripped me up a few times thinking they cranked up something on band 26 to extend it a lot further. lol

    I agree consistent upload is important but 40 mbits is not needed to stream.

    I understand, that's why I was asking what your NEED was for the consistently high upload. You must be doing something with 40 mbits upload on a mobile device...certainly you just arent running speed / latency tests all day?

    swintec replied to nexgencpu's topic in Google

    there have been several pages at this point over you going back and forth over this device due to possible upload speed issues and not being able to hit 30-40+ mbps . i have to ask...what do you need a consistent 40 mbits of upload on a mobile device for?

    can anyone comment on the unlocking of the device? the face unlock makes me a bit nervous. With fingerprint, i can quickly unlock it with one hand close to my lap, while driving and not even be looking down at the device. i have a hard time believing the face unlock stuff can be as quick and easy as a fingerprint...am i wrong?

    Essential phone received the same android update at about the same time yesterday. Funny enough, there has been a time or two in the last year that essential beat even googles update for the various monthly security updates.
  16. swintec
    my essential phone had the volte toggle in the radio menu completely disabled at some point. not sure if it was the may update or they did it through a profile update.

    now these are the nexus / pixel prices that i remember and love. So...how bad do these suck compared to the regular pixel 3? What did they do to get the price so low? Seems like the only difference is the processor but will anyone really notice in day to day use? Right now I have an essential phone.

    Good to know. I just cant figure out why when I try to initiate the call on WC to Verizon, HD voice will not appear but the reverse it will (she calls me instead). Everything else is the same.
  19. swintec
    Within the last week I started getting HD voice, while connected to wifi calling, when a Verizon user calls me. However if i initiate the call instead HD voice is not there. What gives? Also, if i disconnect from wifi and use the cellular network (1x800), no HD voice no matter what. its been so long so i can not remember but is there no HD voice on 1x?

    what does the distance in feet mean for TA? What does the TA value mean?
  21. swintec
    this calling behavior went live on the essential phone a few weeks back, there are prior posts about it which sounds like you have found at this point. However, starting about a week and a half ago, my essential no longer has this available so i am not sure if they disabled it for my area or what.
  22. swintec
    " VoLTE is able to use a dedicated, guaranteed airlink to ensure that congestion on the network (LTE or WiFi) won’t adversely affect the call." Dont know if adding wifi to that statement was in error but if not, how would sprint handle call affecting congestion on someones wifi network or ISP which is completely out of their hands?

    when viewing the IMS status from the Phone Info menu, and it shows IMS Registration: Registered and then Voice Over LTE: Available, will it show available even for just calling plus? https://imgur.com/a/jPQrNkH#yyfuCJY
  24. swintec
    Fwiw, the essential has the volte toggle enabled but i cant remember if it always has. maybe it always was since it had the ability to roam off wifi calling onto LTE (and back again)?
  25. swintec
    Wonder if its VOLTE or calling plus like the Essential phone that also started working recently.
