    Just to be clear, though, does this represent the before or after from anger "Manningment" therapy? AJ
  2. WiWavelength
    Anger problem? Or Manning problem? Or maybe anger problem due to Manning problem? AJ

    Remember, with e/CSFB and single RF path, these tri band devices operate a bit differently. They will camp on LTE full time and not connect to CDMA2000 -- unless necessary. So, I am not shocked that the Nexus 5 rarely, if ever sees CDMA1X 800. If LTE 1900 is available, that is all the handset needs. And underlying CDMA1X 1900 is no doubt available, too. AJ

    Those pics are practically black and white. Do you live in Pleasantville? AJ

    The past does not provide much hope, but maybe the present and future indicate a paradigm shift. Qualcomm MSM chipsets still generally come in at least three flavors: "x2xx" series for 3GPP, "x6xx" for 3GPP2, and "x9xx" for 3GPP/3GPP2 with LTE. If that continues, choosing to use an LTE capable baseband will necessarily bring along CDMA2000 capability. Now, also implementing three CDMA2000 bands -- not to mention, three LTE bands currently almost proprietary to Sprint -- is still left to question. But we do see how that can all coalesce with the MSM8974 heart of the Nexus 5. AJ

    Neal will tell us "Yes." AJ

    Well, my response was not necessarily directed at you personally, but I had to quote at least one post on the topic at hand. Otherwise, its relevance in this market thread would make no sense. In the end, I have no problems with lack of SD cards and imposition of wireless data caps. Those factors might actually force people not to suck at the teat of digital content every waking hour and instead savor a drink, read a book, go for a run, etc. For business use, though, I can understand needing access to massive mobile data stores. But business people may and can rely on specialized products to meet those needs. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming? AJ

    AT&T and T-Mobile have bought full in to the namby pamby, Euro loving 3GPP baloney. Unless forced by FCC regulation, they will never require their handsets to support domestic 3GPP2 standards, too. AJ

    Did I ever point a finger at you specifically? I think that you are being a bit touchy. If "[m]ost of those just want to haul around their digital entertainment libraries" does not apply to you, then please do not take offense. But I do think that my greater point holds. We are becoming a society of slaves to stored (or streamed) digital entertainment. AJ

    I just think people are spoiled in claiming that they "need" ridiculous amounts of data storage on their handsets. Most of those just want to haul around their digital entertainment libraries. Ooh, that is important. AJ

    That was my first PC. My first Mac had no hard drive. It relied solely on RAM and floppy disks. AJ
  12. WiWavelength
    You cannot directly correlate RSRP and data speeds. The network capacity balancing act is far more complex than that. AJ
  13. WiWavelength
    Eh, my first PC had a whopping 1 GB hard drive. I did not "need" more storage, and I somehow survived. AJ

    The problem with that is the double standard. Many Sprint variant devices support GSM/W-CDMA, but almost no AT&T and T-Mobile variant devices support CDMA2000. So, device portability effectively becomes a one way street. Take your unlocked device from Sprint to AT&T or T-Mobile, okay. Take your unlocked device from AT&T or T-Mobile to Sprint, no dice. And that is unfair to Sprint. Thus, Sprint has little incentive to unlock its branded devices for use on other domestic providers. AJ

    I will always remember...the Omaha! AJ

    I think Mike may be confused about inter frequency hard handoffs. They are not "hard" as in "difficult." They are just not ideal compared to typical CDMA1X soft handoff. Regardless, inter frequency hard handoffs generally should not cause calls to drop. AJ
  17. WiWavelength
    Yep, if you are on Easy Pay, Sprint will be more than happy to receive the remaining balance early. AJ

    That is not the pushback that some people are showing. They are focused on the device cost. They seem to think erroneously that these "$200" devices are increasing in price to $600. AJ
  19. WiWavelength
    I do not understand the pushback. Paying down your subsidy every month through your service plan -- as you currently do -- is little different from financing your upgrade through Easy Pay. Either way, you end up effectively paying about $600 for a high end handset. AJ

    The third engineering screen article, this time focused on band 41, is now up on The Wall. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-360-whats-the-frequency-kenneth-interpreting-your-engineering-screen-part-three/ AJ

    Yeah, I am not sure which was the bigger loser in this game -- Denver or Omaha. AJ
  22. WiWavelength
    Were there COWs? Probably. But I also saw a few wounded ducks on the Denver side. AJ

    Current score this season: Seahawks 59 - Mannings 0. AJ
  24. WiWavelength
    The Broncos are just wetting themselves. The Mile High City might as well start getting high now because this game has long been over. IN-COM-PLETE! AJ
  25. WiWavelength
    Any bets on the over/under on the "Manning face" for the rest of the game? That was one on the sideline during that kickoff return TD. AJ
