These are the better questions. In this country, how long will it take private industry to invest in such crucial nationwide fiber network(s)? Will short term focused, increase my wealth quickly shareholders ever allow it? I am 38 years old, but wake me from my cryogenic death slumber or reconstitute my ashes when you finally have the answers. How would having most everywhere a redundant VZW Beltway, AT&T Throughway, Sprint Expressway, and T-Mobile Autobahn -- each with its own tolls and insular restrictions -- be any better? Please answer that question, too, especially as it relates to the issue under present discussion: numerous locales do not want parallel network infrastructure that support the so called free market competition to which many worship at the altar.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gcil60yefk07ca7/HiddenMenu.odex?dl=0 Are you currently using a Sprint SIM? If not, most other providers' SIMs seem to lock out dialer codes. Regardless, you can skip the dialer code and use a shortcut maker to create an Activity directly to the Debug menu, for example. I know that I previously posted instructions somewhere here on S4GRU. AJ

I cannot speak for the Nexus 6, but this tri band Moto X variant has dozens of files within the system/priv-app directory, and there are no subdirectories. So, all of the APKs and ODEXs are at the root level of the directory. Oh, and the first dialer code to try is ##DEBUG#. AJ

On the XT1094 Moto X variant, the HiddenMenu.apk and HiddenMenu.odex are located in the system/priv-app directory. See if the Nexus 6 has the same. AJ

Two things... What most rightly and sensibly should be done is not necessarily what will be done. And nationalization of all telecom infrastructure would not be a return of the Bell System. It would be like the Interstate Highway System -- with UPS, FedEx, Joe's Trucking Company, you, and me all operating over the top. That works well. A true Information Superhighway, hmm, imagine that... AJ

Does anyone want to try sideloading the HiddenMenu APK taken directly off a tri band 2014 Moto X? There is a good chance that it will work on the Nexus 6, too, thereby enabling engineering screens. https://www.dropbox.com/s/m7eol1n6wl4fyip/HiddenMenu.apk?dl=0 I can also pull the HiddenMenu ODEX if that is helpful. AJ

But this is exactly why running four national plus numerous regional/rural wireless infrastructure operators is ludicrous. The entire telecom infrastructure should be nationalized -- one fiber and wireless network for all. Countless virtual operators can sell their services over the top. AJ

He was rightly recused because of inherent bias -- meaning he did not participate in the council vote. AJ

This was the best part of the city council minutes cited in the Supreme Court decision: This is Georgia, after all. He is probably an AT&T sub... AJ

Folks, this Supreme Court decision has no bearing on whether T-Mobile or any other party can construct this cell tower in Roswell, GA or anywhere else. No, the decision merely concerns timely documentation -- should a locality deny an application. AJ

Uh, no, not necessarily. I am not sure what densification angle you are taking. The economy of scale gained by doubling the subscriber count? Or the number of sites gained by combining the networks? If the latter, that is specious. T-Mobile site density is quite similar to that of Sprint. And T-Mobile site location is quite redundant to that of Sprint. Adding countless sites that are already collocated or within a few hundred feet of each other will not densify the network. All operators -- VZW, AT&T, and T-Mobile, not just Sprint -- need to densify their networks for LTE. AJ

No, no, no. It is spelled Single Valley, Thin Man, Fine Snake, Fine Snake, Thin Man, Fine Snake, Fine Snake, Thin Man, Fat Snake, Fat Snake, Thin Man. AJ

Sounds like you need some Garrison Keillor... AJ

M-ISS-ISS-IPP-I. I can spell it by rote. Can you? AJ

A 6.5 MHz FDD LTE carrier does not exist. So, take your pick: 1.4 MHz FDD, 3 MHz FDD, or 5 MHz FDD. The next step up is 10 MHz FDD -- not possible in Sprint's SMR 800 MHz allocation. You can propose carrier aggregation. But no one wants to waste 2x carrier aggregation on just 1.4 MHz FDD and 5 MHz FDD. In the end, the band class 10 CDMA1X 800 carrier is like a gift. It takes advantage of the odds and ends that would otherwise go fallow. AJ

How could Sprint do a "wider LTE channel" within its licensed SMR 800 MHz spectrum? If you answer that question, then you have answered your question. AJ

No new CDMA2000 bands will be standardized -- 3GPP2 is shutting down. Any 600 MHz spectrum will be LTE or bust. AJ

All the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the band 41 speeds are above average…. AJ

To increase debt load just to lock up native coverage in the great state of Mississippi? That may the reason why. AJ

T-Mobile band 2/12 specific maps are coming: http://www.tmonews.com/2015/01/t-mobile-working-on-a-new-interactive-lte-coverage-map-that-shows-1900-and-700mhz-bands/ AJ

You do not find a wisp. The wisps find you... AJ

That is not really true. For Sprint, typical PCS A-F block spectrum holdings are 30 MHz (15 MHz FDD). That allows for up to 11 CDMA1X/EV-DO carriers. But outside of stadium DAS and racetrack sites, you will find very few Sprint sites with that many CDMA1X/EV-DO carriers deployed. Most sites run half to a third that many. AJ

Let us define what you mean by "PCM." I doubt that you really mean PCM at 8 kbps. What bit depth? What sampling rate? POTS quality PCM is 64 kbps -- 8 bit, 8 kHz. AJ
