    Sprint SMR 1xRTT now covers my cabin as well as the US Cellular 1xRTT roaming it replaces. If they would just convert my GMO site to a full build I might actually get better coverage than all the other carriers (USCC is king here). It is somewhat annoying though, the phone doesn't want to connect to my airave anymore.

    I saw a site being worked on in Tulsa, brand new panels were added with similar antennas and colored wiring. I wasn't sure what was going on, (still not but this may be a clue).

    Sprint submits bid to purchase US Cellular in 3....2....1.... Edit: if this happens or a native roaming agreement I would probably switch back almost instantly

    I'm a Swappa guy myself. Its worked well for me. The biggest thing you can do is take ample amounts of high res pictures and market you phones' strengths over other sellers (show that extra batteries are included in the listing title, tell them the phone is rooted and ready for whatever rom they could want).

    This is still a way better deal than AT&T's unlimited plans. Unloaded cell sites are still open season.

    One of the sites near my cabin is broadcasting 1x800 so now we can catch a sprint signal where we couldn't before. The problem is its unusable. Calls don't go through. I think this may be due to how weak the signal is. Maybe if that stupid GMO was a full build the signal would be stronger.

    I wish they would all just kind of kick the bucket and need to be replaced by full build sites.

    It looks like Verizon has turned on AWS in Rapid City. Maybe they are better now than they used to be.

    The good news is US Cellular is rolling out LTE in the area so in the future if you have a band 12 device you might roam onto their network deep indoors for free. There aren't any sprint band 12 devices yet. I bet the iphone 6 will be one of the first.

    Yosemite dev preview 2 also released. Will test tomorrow.

    Just think of what T-Mobile's sites in OK with Sprint SMR LTE on Nokia Siemens Flexis would be like.

    On ios 8 my download speeds were cut in half and the radio was generally unstable. My iCloud restore stopped midway for some reason and the app store would not allow me to be on any page but featured (and wouldn't work). Tethering was broken too (which is a big problem for me). So as quickly as I could I came crying back to IOS 7.1.1 I still have Yosemite on my Mac but I plan to revert on it too. The application switching lag is too much.

    Didn't work for me. I didn't give it much of a chance though both IOS 8 and Yosemite are so unstable I reverted pretty quickly.

    Mac OS Yosemite has a lag switching between apps for me (pin wheel for 5-10 seconds nearly every time). I was about to install IOS 8 on my iPhone 5C then I heard about how buggy it is. I'm going to hold off on that unless its easy to return to 7.1.1 I've heard its possible but has anyone returned to IOS 7.1.1 after having installed IOS 8? If its hacky and risky to go back I'll just wait until the betas become more stable.

    My sister needs to buy a laptop for college. I hope they bump up the base models all to 8 gigs of ram.

    Honestly, after Cox announced their network wide upgrade to gigabit fiber with double speed tiers in the interim (50mbps for me). I'm pretty satisfied with them as a customer. Maybe if the other cable companies do the same we won't have such slow internet as a nation.

    Don't hate

    That seems unlikely but what you might see in the near future is new LTE roaming coverage provided by US Cellular, which should increase coverage dramatically for the state.

    Another site must be broadcasting b26. I'm now getting a STRONG LTE signal that won't drop to 3G no matter what I do at my house There is hope folks

    There is a thread on how to spot network vision equipment here somewhere but you could also look at some of the pictures I've posted in this thread. If the cabinets look like what I posted earlier it may be a sprint site.

    I've connected to band 26 again, at home! (91st and Yale) A very weak signal, about the same signal as 25.
  23. lynyrd65
    I'm afraid I've gone the way of the iPhone so my opinion on Android devices isn't worth much but maybe the LG G-Flex?
  24. lynyrd65
    Band 26 is live in Broken Arrow!!!!!! I have attached to it and it's a 5+5mhz carrier! I'm getting 28mbps down in a metal building! Screenshots in a few hours

    I get signal with an iPhone 5C in places I've never seen service before, but then again I've never tried a Nexus 5 or a Motorola device (which are supposed to be the best for signal). There are no 800mhz LTE capable Motorola devices yet so I would still avoid them. The Nexus 5 is prone to csfb issues due to it being triband. I've owned the Galaxy S4 and the HTC One (M7). The iPhone 5C is miles ahead of them both signal wise. I know a lot of people hate the iPhone but if you don't, you might want to give a 5S or 5C a chance. They are immune to csfb issues, have great radios and support 800mhz LTE. The drawback is that they won't support the upcoming TD-LTE network.
