After searching around, it looks like my Nexus 5x isn't working because it's registered as a Prepaid device (when I used it on Ringplus). I am going to see if I can submit a ClickIT ticket to get this thing moved back to postpaid eligible. -
Sprint says my Nexus 5x is carrier-locked (despite me being able to use it freely on AT&T/T-Mobile/Ringplus)...Anyone know how I can bypass the level 1 care and get a ClickIT ticket submitted? I'm trying to take advantage of the free year plan so I can monitor upgrades in my area on Sprint.

Maybe you're right. Or he moved. His profile on this site says NOLA market.
-
I wonder if @digiblur would be able to confirm whether Sprint's speeds actually improved around him or not. I recall him leaving a few years ago because they weren't rolling out LTE in the areas around him. EDIT: He's in New Orleans.
-
My guess is they're completely decommission CDMA/EvDo and re-use that spectrum to further LTE capacity. Similar to how they managed the MetroPCS transition. The only difference is most of Sprint devices already support all of T-Mobile's frequencies so I think the transition will be quite smooth.

The issue isn't entitlement, it's negligence on Sprint's end, or over-promising/under-delivering. They stated a few times during network vision they were planning on having LTE on almost all of the sites, and then even NGN was supposed to be properly funded and going in full-throttle. So in a sense, if Sprint says they're going to do it, you're very well entitled to what they promise. That and of course, the terrible coverage maps that state you're covered when you're actually not. I do think it's unrealistic to think Sprint is in a position to expand to 100% LTE coverage, but the point is they can't properly fund for the network, especially if they start giving away service for a year. Something tells me they're juicing up their subscribers for a buyout/merger.

Do you have to switch from Verizon to get in on this?
-
My guess is he flashed firmware from the unlocked variant which works without any issues since they are signed by Samsung. If he used that method, it will most definitely fail the firmware checks in the Sprint OTA file. We'll see if that's how he did it, though.

This is a bad chart or outdated chart. At&t is losing customers, so their ARPU is becoming less of an advantage. Churn is also at a record low for TMobile and ARPU on T-Mobile is very similar to Verizon's while also adding many more customers. T-Mobile claims their churn is at 1.18% as of Q1 2017.

I came here when SprintFeed's twitter account closed down back in 2012.

Are all of the S8 the same hardware just like the S7? Might be grabbing an S8 soon.

[emoji12] The guy kinda disappeared when Fiercewireless shut down its comments section.

In some places. Like downtown. But it is still in early rollout stages.
-
Make me want to grab a new Sprint sim through an MVNO and just test the network around town. haha still got my Nexus 5x as a backup device.

T-Mobile announced their rollout schedule for 600Mhz. http://www.tmonews.com/2017/05/t-mobile-600mhz-spectrum-transition-process/ Unfortunately it looks like my market will not see anything for 3 years.
-
It looks like Sprint's speed is imporiving in a lot of markets. Look at the speed graph in this crowd-coursed article. http://speedsmart.net/wireless_index/april_2017/ Some markets are still too slow but they are very competitive in a lot of them.
-
They must be, if Sprint is switching to them. It'd be kind of funny if they had T-Mobile as a roaming partner in the future. Does anyone know if this existing AT&T roaming is in-market, or only outside of Sprint coverage?
-
Then the next question is will Sprint find reliable regional carriers to roam on when Verizon shuts off their Legacy network, or will Sprint be forced to improve it's native coverage with the limited capex it currently has?
-
Isn't this where Sprint relies on Verizon's 1x/3g network for roaming? People probably don't care as much about coverage difference if they can still get a text/call through. But when Verizon shuts off their 1x/3G network, won't it make Sprint's coverage disadvantage much more noticeable?
-
Sony does the best job with their smaller devices and being able to fit everything inside well. Sony also was the first to bring the water "resistant" concept to mainstream flagships. I would be interested in a Sony device like that. Samsung as well has proven themselves on the hardware front. Especially with modem advances. The 4x4 MIMO, 256 QAM and other enhancements make the network noticeably faster. I almost purchased the Pixel but it's out of stock nearly each time I look on the Google Store. They need to fix supply issues next time, but Google has been notorious for being bad at predicting demand...

The bezel and waterproofing likely won't happen with HTC making the phone, to be honest. They seem to always have the larger bezels of the manufacturers.
-
Looks like B71 phones will run on the X16 modem before end of this year. They are going to modify the existing 835 chip to support it. I'm thinking Samsung Note and Pixel 2 will be the first flagships with capability.

Anyone paying $TMUS stock? Earnings in less than an hour.

Didn't OpenSignal only grab data for a few cities? They could've just said smallest LTE footprint, and it'd be professionally done and not-biased.
