  1. I honestly do not care about CSIM hot swapping. I would rather each of my devices have its own SIM. Making the swap online from my Sprint.com account takes all of three minutes. No big deal. No SIM removal tool or tiny 4FF nano SIM involved. AJ
  2. You may not have had to sign, but you were required to read the disclaimer, right? WARNING! YOU JUST BOUGHT A SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 5. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-393-even-more-guardians-of-the-samsung-galaxy/ AJ
  3. Yup. People seem willing to overlook Net Neutrality transgressions that work out in their favor. But that is hardly neutral. Instead of Music Freedom, maybe somebody else who never streams music wants E-Mail Freedom. But that has not happened, hence data is being treated non neutrally. AJ
  4. I do not trust the Red Chinese any further than I can throw them. And while they are tiny people -- Yao Ming excepted -- I really should not be throwing billions of people with my bum ankle. AJ
  5. Or people who want effectively S4GRU diagnostic services need to post not only their locations but also their devices. Too many people seem to hold the idea that their wireless service should work equally well everywhere they go with any device. AJ
  6. I figured out the reason for the ugly black window on the back. That is the Huawei and Chinese government "backdoor" engineered into the handset. AJ
  7. I wonder what kind of UICC/SIM card that the Nexus 5X will utilize. Certainly, it will be a 4FF nano SIM, but my guess is that it also will be running a CSIM, like the Moto X Style. Do we know if the LG G4 is running a CSIM? That is probably the clearest indicator. From the corporate Sprint Store that gave me the wrong SIM, I now have a spare USIM but not a spare CSIM. If the Google Store nee Google Play has its shit together -- but it usually does not on these device launches -- it will offer the option of a kitted SIM from the wireless provider of your choice, possibly for a small extra charge. AJ
  8. Nope. If they had, you would know about them. We (I, as the tech editor) would be working feverishly to write up an article on The Wall. In the meantime, we could not keep the release of the FCC OET authorization upload a secret. We or somebody else would spill the beans. It is plausible. But we probably will not know anything for certain until the reveal event. I think Google is taking a page from Apple on this one, so the FCC OET authorizations and model numbers will not be unleashed until the day of the announcement. AJ
  9. Mothers would have to shield the eyes of their small children if you carried around that horrific looking thing. AJ
  10. Last? That typically would be T-Mobile. Sprint was not the last to deploy LTE, WiMAX, or "3G," etc. AJ
  11. The strange place names are mostly a Lancaster County/Amish/Pennsylvania Dutch thing. Yep, I may live hundreds of miles away, but I gots mad geography knowledge and skills. AJ
  12. Hey, mom, I'm done with my segment. Now, where's my f@#cking new iPhone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USHZZ5bwASU AJ
  13. That is not "GSM" voice quality. It varies from AMR-HR to AMR-WB. You are making a determination based off of a limited sample size. Plus, you call it "GSM." AJ
  14. Probably to stoke their own egos and justify their ridiculous compensation packages, CEOs, politicians, university leaders, athletic directors, etc., have to make their marks on their domains. Maintaining and fostering the reasonable, even highly successful status quo is not enough. AJ
  15. Yes, it exists. Blue Ball is on US 322, just northeast of New Holland. The running joke goes something along the lines of "Before you reach Intercourse, you can go right to Paradise or left to Blue Ball." Bird in Hand is also ripe for jokes. I guess if you do not find your way to Intercourse but do not want to end up in Blue Ball, you might have to take matters into your own hand. AJ
  16. White Nexus 5X for me. #whitephonesmatter AJ
  17. Microwaves can do everything. Dirty ones can cook Hot Pockets to be frozen in the middle or boiling lava hot. AJ
