  1. I think Son will skip whatever Plan B is, since I am under the impression he wants to keep the baby, regardless of its frodo status
  2. On the thought of all these DoJ suits..... Does anyone know where all the money and fines go?
  3. and mike beat me too it by seconds. I like your response better, I really need to stop trying to multitask
  4. considering you have only 12gb or less usable out of the box, it would make sense to go with the 32 gb if you are a moderate or higher user. once you have a few apps and start taking pictures or video, the remaining space will be used up pretty quickly between app cache, those apps and pictures or video. considering there is no upgradable or user expandable storage i can only recommend based on my own personal experience. i believe there is only 26028 usable gigs out of the box on the 32 gig and i only have 3gbs remaining myself, most of it is used by apps and app cache needed for things like google music or any cloud based service (since im not in a completely reliable lte area yet it is sometimes best to let the app precache) is there a special on subsidized contract extension prices at this time (as in $100 or less?) it is still $50 cheaper to buy the 32gb outright from google vs the 16gb outright from sprint. It is all about tradeoffs at this point in time, so it will be up to you to determine if it is best if you take the upgrade price/contract extension at this point in time. many are under the impression that subsidies will disappear entirely in a short period of time, but i don't know your unique situation. I prefer the breathing room from the device with more space (it's too bad sprint didnt sell these directly) and while i do not plan to leave sprint in the remote future, it is nice that my device is mine and down the line i wanted to move it, there would be no contractual obligation remaining where i would pay a contractual etf or return my device (think tmobiles present gimmick)
  5. yes. I don't know if it is related to the LTE launch in my specific area as we are not fully deployed, but in gMaps and others that depend on GPS I will find it jumping all over the place in the last few weeks
  6. I hope they include a final GPS fix in the spark update, it's buggier than a crackwhore
  7. Give it a week, perhaps the changes are slowly propagating through their systems. Some here reportedly could see it beginning last week, mine didn't refresh until today. It all works out in the end though
  8. Hesse and Son have history which we have discussed extensively in past posts when we would still refer to old craig mccaw -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dang you daddy Robert! hehehe, this discussions certainly do belong in other threads but the basic takeaway I am seeing here is that in certain (or many cases) depending on the number of devices on an account and type of old plan one falls under, these new plans, whether Framily, My Way, All-in, etc (regardless of disappearing discounts) are actually more expensive. Certain aspects of this discussion do belong here if related to changes that resulted from post-SB New Sprint as the thread implies. i certainly don't agree with some of the whining, complaints or other things we frown upon here. It is hard for one to extract context from pure text unfortunately so some will get their panties in a wad. I for one am happy with Sprint and have been a long time supporter even through the growing pains and headaches we have seen in the last 15 years. Would I want to leave my old/present plan for one of these new ones? Of course not, but that is because the value is there at my price point for the number and types of devices I have (all smartphones, tablets or hotspots) which my "Everything Whatever" plan of the past provides me. $450/mo is not a small sum but for some and at least for me any changes to a newer post-Softbank plan would result in an additional $100 or more dollars per month. piggybacking on what you said earlier, everyone should make decisions based on what is the best for their particular circumstances, whether another carrier or plan that is the best fit for them. P.S. I still love these sometimes horrifying campfire stories that go on around here.
  9. Was able to make service changes on mine and now it finally recognizes it. I don't know why in the world I had $10/mo international texting added but I made sure to remove it.
  10. Just what I need, my own personal network so AJ can't complain about the bandwidth I am or am not using...
  11. A large fact we are all overlooking in the IMEI/MEID Nexus 5 fiasco is that there is no simple verification of a device not only being not-stolen but the bigger issue of the device not being completely paid off with TMO's current non-contract uncarrier pay-for-your-phone-as-you-go scheme. This is most likely why Magenta has requested that Google not effectively release TMO branded N5 IMEI's into the global list for all to see. Just my 2 cents FWIW.
  12. If I don't "beliebe" in this fairy will he just drop dead already? We're waiting... #noshame #retirement

  13. This is certainly not that hard to do, and I would approve of. Intelligent network management is a good thing especially in highly concentrated usage areas such as major sporting event or convention. Republic Wireless, T-Mobile and a bunch of cheap MVNO's already try to shunt most of their service when possible to a wifi offload solution.
  14. I don't think many of us like our phones silently doing anything we haven't approved of. And to whit I refer, those annoying "open wifi network available" even when wifi is turned off and in a few instances, some phones will automatically (at least in the past) connect to any open wifi source. That is certainly not a good security practice and many can attest to having this occur in public places like campgrounds who have had their computers corrupted thinking they were connecting to a legitimate network. The handoff between bands though is something that should be seamless.
