    Voice will always remain on CDMA1X 1900, too. There is only one CDMA1X 800 carrier -- not enough capacity for everybody. So, you will likely bounce between CDMA1X 1900 and CDMA1X 800 as needed. AJ

    Yeah, right, it is not like the South is known for its obesity problem. Go have your Publix fried chicken and sweet tea. AJ

    You have to think about all of the "sexts" the previous 350 lb female owner transmitted through the radio that is now held up to your ear. AJ

    Good enough for me. Thanks. The WiMAX/TD-LTE spreadsheet will be updated in a moment. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/files/file/29-clearwire-wimaxtd-lte-carrier-band-plan/ AJ

    Well, Lower 700 MHz and Upper 700 MHz are two separate bands because 1) they were auctioned at separate times and 2) Upper 700 MHz necessarily has an inverted duplex. If 600 MHz goes FDD, it will probably use an inverted duplex. Other than that, we do not know -- the reverse auction uptake and channel repacking are big question marks that will vary per market and affect the band plan. AJ

    Can we get a screenshot of EARFCN 40056? This is a new center frequency, one that we have not seen in other markets. I would like to add it to my band plan spreadsheet. AJ

    Rephrase your question. It is not clear. AJ

    I hate to have my Testing.apk "special sauce" shared for all to know, but those are all excellent tips. And I have not done enough SIM swapping to encounter all of the idiosyncratic 3GPP/3GPP2 network acquisition permutations that follow. So, we appreciate the reports of your direct experience, Ian. AJ

    Sorry, Ian, I did not intend to bust your chops in the other thread. You are a valuable contributor, and this is important info. So, let us keep it in one central location. I had not thought of popping my T-Mobile SIM into my Nexus 5 in a while. But that was a good idea, since it enables the 3GPP network scan function. That said, for those who do not also have a non Sprint SIM for the Nexus 5, simply removing the Sprint SIM and rebooting should also reveal the 3GPP network scan. Screenshots from various markets are welcome. AJ

    Huh? All Nexus 5s are effectively bought from Google -- whether first hand or through a third party. Do you think that Sprint has a blacklist of Nexus 5s that are activated on other providers first? That would require the other providers to share device info with Sprint. It is not happening. AJ

    Ian, you are doing a bit much in the way of cross posting on this subject. Can we keep this PLMN discussion primarily in one place? Otherwise, the info is going to get fragmented across numerous threads. You can even start a new thread if you wish. AJ

    Excellent. There, you should be able to get some Tampax to go with your Midol. AJ
  13. WiWavelength
    Advil? Or Midol? AJ

    I guess Santa Claus has a lot of time on his hands to ask wireless service questions now that the North Pole at Chipita Park is closed for the season until May. AJ

    And we still call it a "gallon jug"? Wow, I think you just rewrote the ideal gas law. Bravo! AJ

    In general, the tech press masturbates to magenta and dislikes Sprint. Expect slanted articles. AJ

    And just to be clear, I was not trying to admonish you. But we do not want to set unrealistic expectations for others who might be reading this. No doubt, your signal strength improvement is associated with the Network Vision upgrade, but it cannot attributed exclusively to the new infrastructure. Other factors must also have changed. And those factors can cut both ways -- some could potentially lose 10-20 dB in signal strength due to adjustments associated with Network Vision. AJ

    Are you guys a little slow on the uptake? Framily discussion started almost a week ago. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/5308-say-hello-to-the-framily-inexpensive-but-potentially-confusing-new-sprint-group-plan-pricing/ AJ

    Since the Nexus 5 is a single radio path e/CSFB device, LTE is its primary connection. It does not scan for a CDMA1X connection unless it drops the LTE connection. AJ

    digiblur already noted the Airave PN issue a week or so ago. But it may have been posted in a restricted area of The Forums. AJ

    The NFL is pushing team stadiums to install or upgrade their existing Wi-Fi networks. In Kansas City, Arrowhead Stadium now has a good Wi-Fi network. In Indianapolis, Lucas Oil Stadium has an excellent Wi-Fi network -- probably beefed up for the Super Bowl two years ago -- plus, network installation is easier in an enclosed stadium. I have not been to the Meadowlands since MetLife Stadium replaced Giants Stadium, but being such a new venue built with the promise of a Super Bowl, it almost certainly has a solid Wi-Fi network, too. In other words, Wi-Fi is taking over at these events, while cellular data is becoming a fallback. And that is as it should be. Realistically, cellular data just cannot keep up with 60,000 smartphones in a confined area. AJ

    Alright, Norfolk market, enough is enough. Go take a flying leap into the Chesapeake. S4GRU has made it clear that we do not host Sprint complaints. If you want to leave for another provider, get lost. We do not care. But you cannot vent, complain, or rant here. AJ
  24. WiWavelength
    The answer is simple. Since the release of iPhone 5, the iPhone has had one transmit path for both CDMA2000 and LTE. AJ

    Again, you are not gaining 20 dB solely from Network Vision RRUs. That would be more in the range of 3-6 dB. So, other tweaks or conditions -- EIRP, downtilt, foliage -- are clearly in play. AJ
