    Galaxy S9 Series user thread

    in Samsung

    Posted

    It's been months now since the S9 was released, a company the size of Samsung surely can push a stable update.
    But why can't they push monthly security updates though? I like to have a very secure device you know just like everybody else :-)

    This is Samsung here, we haven't had an update since post-release before most people got their phones. Whereas the S7 and S8 have gotten two-three.
    Well what about if the updates cause issues...

    As seen with the S7 and S8, Samsung does not do .1 updates anymore. I guess it's not important enough to them.

    Well the one updates can actually fix problems.

    Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

    in T-Mobile Merger/5G NR Deployment

    Dish might be interested in it but I doubt they can afford it. Between MFBI and new T-Mobile phones that support Band 25 it ceases to become a problem. New T-Mobile phones will be required to support the Sprint bands.
    It's the same problem with Sprint phones and Band 66 and 71. New phones are required to support those bands. I think most phones on Sprint support Bands 2 and 4.
     
    I think maybe as far back as 2015 or 2016 they are supporting bands 2 and 4

    Compared to the midband spectrum of the other three carriers, it is. In the market to the south of me, Sprint only owns 30 Mhz of midband spectrum.

    Verizon owns 60 Mhz of midband spectrum, At&t owns 90 Mhz, and T-Mobile owns 80 Mhz (PCS+AWS).

    But this doesn't change the fact that your suggestion was a terrible one. Selling their spectrum would have been a disaster of epic proportions. Their network has never been dense enough for 2.5 Ghz to work properly in most markets. Midband spectrum was crucial for their survival while they figured out how to properly deploy B41. Unfortunately they never got around to it for a myriad of reasons we've beaten to death on this board.

     In my state T-Mobile owns only 50 something megaherz total Spectrum so T-Mobile has almost none here. But Sprint AT&T and Verizon have twice as much Spectrum as T-Mobile. So T-Mobile is at a very serious disadvantage here. And the if the acquisition goes through then T-Mobile can get 20 megahertz total low band Spectrum for the area.

    They probably won't have to unload any lowband spectrum. At&t at one point owned 100 Mhz of lowband spectrum in Dallas. Sprint+T-Mobile won't own more than 60 mhz of lowband spectrum in most major markets and 70 Mhz in the rest of the country. 

    Midband spectrum is where we'll see some moves happen. I think they'll end up trading the spectrum they have to unload to At&t/Verizon for spectrum in other markets where they still fall below the spectrum screen.

    In my area T-Mobile only owns 15 megahertz total of low-band spectrum.

    What conditions would you like the FCC/FTC to impose on this merger? I would like for them to promise to natively cover rural America to match or exceed AT&T's coverage within 2 years from the close of the merger and match or exceed Verizon's coverage within 4 years.

    hmm that would be great because we need a stronger carrier that can match verizon if not out right preform better then them. but i see this merger getting looked at very carefully before they make a decision..

    It is a deliberate choice on the part of sprint on how it uses it's 2.5 spectrum. They can allocate the spectrum Used in their channels in multiple ways and they have choosen to maximize download speeds because you simply don't need as  band width on the upload side. 

    True okay now I'm just trying to understand what you're saying.
