Not exactly. The LTE airlink is so relatively fragile that even LTE 750 will not usably cover as much footprint as you might think. AJ
-
Yep, SVDO capable handsets can maintain CDMA1X and eHRPD/EV-DO simultaneously. To send a true SMS, the HTC One, however, has to switch to CDMA1X, thereby dropping the eHRPD connection for a moment. To avoid that, be on LTE or use Google Voice for data based SMS. AJ

If Robert is going to put it in his driveway or yard, I would probably recommend one of these... We have plenty of them in Kansas City, maybe because Sprint is headquartered in Overland Park. AJ

I mean no offense, but it always puzzles me when members start a thread on news that was announced hours ago. We have enough staffers and frequent posters watching the Interwebs that we almost certainly have a thread already running. Sprint may be accused of being slow, but S4GRU cannot. AJ
-
Is that on eHRPD/EV-DO? The HTC One does not support SVDO, but the EVO LTE does. So, that could explain your experience. AJ

It has been posted. Sprint Spark has its own thread. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4950-sprint-spark-official-name-for-the-tri-band-network-was-sprint-to-demo-its-25ghz-network-technology/ Now, the question is whether the G2 update in 2014 does anything other that what an MSL and a few internal setting changes can do currently. AJ

That guy thinks he has the G2 equivalent of a hot, backless black dress. Oh yeah, it probably is "hot," if you know what I mean... AJ

Instead of rebooting, why not use my airplane mode trick to generate a new data session, hence a new EV-DO carrier hash? AJ

Yes, the best of both worlds scenario would be for the Nexus 5 to be sold exclusively or additionally through Google Play -- and because Sprint is on board this time -- engineering screens come along for the ride. Keep your fingers crossed. I have an LG G2 on order. I might end up with an HTC One max instead or in addition. But if the Nexus 5 with engineering screens is available off contract for $350, I will likely pick one up as well for testing purposes. AJ
-
Well, to be clear, we cannot confirm the absence of engineering screens. Previous Sprint variant Nexus devices did include them, but those devices were all sold on contract. I suspect the tradeoff in this case will be off contract sales versus engineering screens. Any Nexus 5 sold through Google Play probably will lack engineering screens -- just as the Nexus 4 did last year. However, if Sprint sells the Nexus 5 directly, it probably will include engineering screens. Of course, the tradeoff likely will be cost, since Sprint is apt to sell the $350 handset for $200 on contract. Not a good deal. AJ
-
I think describing a Nexus handset as "an iPhone for the Android crowd" is pretty apropos. Those people want the standard OS -- just like with iOS. And they get ridiculously obsessed with having access to the latest OS updates -- just like with iOS. AJ
-
I would like to see the net gain/loss with iDEN subtracted out of the equation. My recollection is that CDMA2000/LTE numbers have been growing most quarters. AJ
-
As someone who spent $1700 out of pocket for a spectrum analyzer to conduct S4GRU research, I do not think that you are in position to lecture me on that stated "gamut of capabilities." I am well aware. And I stand by my assertion. If it does not have internal engineering screens, then it does not pass the wireless network tracking litmus test. It is just a general use handset. AJ
-
The problem is if the Nexus 5 lacks engineering screens -- like the Nexus 4 last year -- then it is not suitable for wireless network tracking. It is basically an iPhone for the Android crowd. AJ
-
No. We do not offer those kinds of generalizations -- they cannot predict real world performance. AJ

T-Mobile CFO makes case for U.S. consolidation, Sprint deal
WiWavelength replied to Rawvega's topic in General Topics
No, it is because GSM sounds like this... AJ -
Watch it, guys. S4GRU is not a complaint site. Several of you are pushing the envelope. Consider this your warning. And if you are not a sponsor, you are depriving yourself of relevant info. AJ

So why-yyy don't you use it? Try-yyy not to bruise it Buy-yyy time don't lose it The G Flex... AJ

That grid layout is the digitizer. It does not consist of "pressure points" -- those would be on a resistive touch screen, not a capacitive touch screen. Additionally, every touch screen uses a digitizer. And the LG touch screen is not "cheaper." If it is anything like last year with the Optimus G, it uses an in cell digitizer, meaning the LCD panel and digitizer are combined into one layer. Other smartphones and tablets use separate screen and digitizer layers, making those devices thicker. AJ

Negatory. Any math nerd worth his asymptote would express time using the stardate format. AJ

That high pitched sound is the G2 squealing, "Where is my other half?! Who's got my back?!" AJ

Uh, that picture indicates a date of May 11 -- almost six months ago. Fake! AJ

Ah, using Google Docs for a business form, Millenicom sounds like a really professional outfit. AJ

I take it that my "Welcome to Jungle" proposal has been voted down... AJ

From an RF perspective, SID and NID affect only CDMA1X. From a PRL perspective, though, they do have a tangential relationship to EV-DO. AJ
