    And now we see a pattern developing. The second band 25 carrier correlates strongly with spectrum acquisition markets. Cleveland was a 20 MHz (10 MHz FDD) PCS A-F block market. But recall that Revol shut down, and Sprint acquired its PCS licenses. So, Sprint has added 10 MHz (5 MHz FDD) and 6.4 MHz (3.2 MHz FDD) blocks to its portfolio, making Cleveland now a spectrum rich 36.4 MHz PCS A-F block market. AJ

    The LG G3 article is on The Wall and answers your question. AJ

    You know that Ernestine receives those reports and just cackles, "Not so 'rapid' there, eh? Yeah, well, we don't care. We're not gonna fix it. We don't have to. We're the phone company. And what are you gonna do about it? Go to oversubscribed, overloaded VZW? Ha ha ha." AJ

    For carrier aggregation, I typically just refer to the carrier and supplemental carrier, but the 3GPP terms/acronyms are primary component carrier (PCC) and secondary component carrier (SCC). Now, it is important that the PCC have propagation characteristics that are better than or equal to those of the SCC. Otherwise, the PCC fails before the SCC. In that case, the entire link fails, and the network must be reacquired. http://www.3gpp.org/technologies/keywords-acronyms/101-carrier-aggregation-explained So, apply this to Sprint. The band 26 carrier would have to be the PCC, while the band 25 carrier would have to be the SCC. But Sprint does not want that configuration. Band 26 is not to be primary; it is to be secondary -- used for coverage, not capacity. See the problem? AJ

    No, you need to back up that assertion with evidence. Your word is not sufficient. Plenty of other posters, who are likely more knowledgeable on the matter than you are, have technical and empirical experience to the contrary. e/CSFB is using LTE as the bearer for SMS. AJ
  8. WiWavelength
    Uh, no. Your post is incorrect. Posts above already correctly cite that e/CSFB devices can idle solely on LTE and send/receive SMS tunneled through LTE. AJ
  9. WiWavelength
    I cannot fully explain it, but on multiple handsets set to "LTE only" mode, I can attest to them still dropping back to CDMA1X briefly to send SMS. SMS cannot be received, though, except for Google Voice SMS. AJ

    I doubt that anyone will shed a tear for you when you lose WiMAX, nor should anyone wish for you lower data prices. The rest of us pay for your usage in increased costs, since you appear to rack up chronic bad debt and jump the bill. AJ

    You must live at the North Pole. Are you Santa Claus? AJ

    It is early October in North Dakota. Be sure to bring your parka and snow chains. AJ

    "...in North Dakota" (said sotto voce). AJ

    Be careful. Surely, T-Mobile has trademarked the "un-boxing" term. AJ

    Uh, no. On the coverage maps, Spark has no relation to band 25/26 LTE. It refers only to band 41 TD-LTE. And it is not false advertising. Coverage is not available everywhere -- that is the standard disclaimer. AJ

    Someone needs to alert the EPA to this "Sensorly pollution." It cost me a day of my life. AJ
  19. WiWavelength
    I am not sure what point you are trying to make. It is not the purview of the FCC nor an FCC OET authorization to declare that this handset is the Nexus 5 successor. AJ

    This topic does not require a separate thread. It belongs in the New York market thread, as the original poster is probably not that interested in network improvements in Kalamazoo, for example. So, expect this thread to be merged soon. And let me remind posters that S4GRU is not a Sprint recruitment nor retention site -- that is not your responsibility. S4GRU is an education site. The information is available so that readers can make their own informed decisions. But that just requires some research on their part. AJ

    Uh, yeah, before you post, please read. Why do you not read?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sglZGSwK6ow AJ

    Might as well jump. Jump! Go ahead and jump! AJ

    Walk off the bridge -- or step back off the ledge? AJ

    The vinyl LP adherents would certainly say so. AJ
