A TAC is like a LAC or a NID. A mobile registers within a certain TAC, then pages for that mobile are delivered to all sectors in that TAC and only that TAC. It can also be used for roaming control. A mobile may be permitted to roam in one TAC but not another. We see this a lot between T-Mobile and AT&T. AJ

You will have municipal gigabit fiber. You may be so dazzled that wireless becomes an afterthought. AJ

And that may be placebo effect. Unless you viewed the service option on your CDMA1X engineering screen during the affected calls, you cannot be sure that you were even using the EVRC-B codec. AJ

No, your understanding of "sustainable" is flawed. Talk to me in three years, especially as T-Mobile intends to steal millions of Sprint subs by then. AJ

And that is precisely a reason why unlimited data is not sustainable -- because po' people want to use it as their only broadband connection and download/stream like the rich folk' do. AJ

Welcome. This is your first post, and S4GRU does not host Sprint complaints. AJ

That would be great. But I am sick and tired of Apple's unyielding focus on economy of scale. Other OEMs have no problem with making Sprint specific device variants. It can be done. Get it done. So, by continuing to buy iPhone and iPad devices despite the Sprint drawbacks, many of you are just feeding your iOS addiction, thereby propping up Apple's stock price and its ungodly foreign held war chest. AJ

That guy was banned here for cursing out the staff in The Forums about a month ago. Connect the dots. He is a bitter, vocabulary challenged loser. AJ

41 in 14! It sounds like a college yell or old battle cry. AJ

Are they "ciggy stripers" or "ciggy strippers"? AJ

If the acquisition is approved, I would relabel it "That Damn Annoying Cricket." AJ

You miss the point. Sprint subs will not be affected by the Cat 3 MDM9615 baseband iOS devices. VZW subs will. T-Mobile subs will. Their Cat 3 devices will not allow them to utilize all Resource Blocks on 20 MHz FDD carriers. Yep, and that would be typical of Apple treating Sprint as a second or even third class wireless operator. Honestly, I think Apple shows disdain for Sprint's CDMA2000 + LTE FDD/TDD hybrid network. No, you did. You implied it. Go back and read what you wrote: "If Apple had waited on the MDM9625...they'd have Band 41 support..." The MDM9625 is not necessary for TD-LTE, nor does it guarantee TD-LTE. So, I think that you are backtracking in your assertion. AJ

By the time that the next iPhone and iPad models are released in 10-11 months, lots of handsets will be running the MSM8974 SoC or MDM9625 baseband. Plus, at least VZW, maybe T-Mobile will have some markets with 20 MHz FDD up and running. The current iPhone and iPad Cat 3 basebands will be gimped in those markets. Do not use them for e-penis peak speed tests. I do. I think Apple merely tolerates Sprint, arrogantly looks down its nose at Sprint. The Clearwire TD-LTE overlay was underway this time last year. It was no secret. Heck, tri band LTE hotspots were available months before the latest iPhone and iPad models were released. Apple should have planned accordingly. If I were Sprint, I would tell Apple to treat Sprint's 50+ million subs as well as it does those of AT&T and VZW. Incorporate all Sprint network capabilities in a timely fashion. Otherwise, Apple can go get bent. But we know how that move would go over with the unwashed masses addicted to iOS. Where do you get the idea that TDD support requires the MDM9625? The MDM9615 supports TDD. Even the MDM9600 supports TDD. TD-LTE capability has been baked into the baseband for years. AJ

If you get told to "clear your cookies," ask if you should also "juggle your nuts." AJ

To gather any idea, I would need to see a short video clip of your engineering screen and/or SignalCheck exhibiting the phenomenon. Is that doable? AJ

Well, have you been naughty or nice? If you are on the list of bad Sprint subs, then Sprint will update your profile and make sure you are stuck with band 25 LTE 1900 only. AJ

CDMA1X RSSI, yes. LTE RSRP, not likely. AJ

Yes. RSRQ is related to RSRP, but RSRQ is Reference Signal Received Quality. And in many ways, RSRQ is to Ec/Io as RSRP is to RSSI. AJ

Really? I was just joking, acting like I thought "magnified" meant "magnetized." Apparently, I read your mind. AJ

But you may not like the KU and S4GRU mashup... SKRUU 4G AJ

My camera ain't magnified. I done stuck it on them there fridge. But it don't stay. AJ

Yes, though I am unsure if Phone Scoop's total traffic is down, its comment activity certainly is not what it was a few years ago. That is probably for the best, however, since so much misinformation has gotten passed around in Phone Scoop comments. As many other sites have done, maybe Rich and Eric will switch over to the Facebook commenting system -- Phone Scoop's informationally challenged core would fit right in. AJ

If two adjacent sectors are fully loaded, they will interfere with one another. AJ

Um, do we need to start a G2 accessories thread -- like we did with the Nexus 5? AJ

Uh oh, your wife may be knocking on the G2. AJ
