^ Sounds like an irrelevant political issue, which S4GRU does not partake.

It looks like it requires FB to vote, which I do not use. Otherwise, I would certainly vote for you. I like the sounds of what you are doing.. Keep up the good work and good luck!

^ Like a Boss.

Good to hear. I know someone who works in the legal department at Sprint World Headquarters (absolutely beautiful campus). She says the same thing regarding her employment.

I'm with you on all of that. And, nice find on the Amazon deal.. I would have jumped on that, too! I'd love to hold out for the next Nexus. This present one is just way to big. The only problem is, I'm not so sure the Nexus 7 will be any smaller. I sure hope it is, though.

I think so, too. I think LG waited too long after the S6 and M9 launch to release this phone. That being said, it may be the gem of the bunch, as there are many reports of poor (or average, at best) RF performance in the S6 and M9 threads. Maybe this will be a case of "good things come to those who wait." I know I'm looking forward to it.

Any chance you could summarize why BTIG suggests this, please? I'm not a member of that site. Thank you.

Absolutely! The gap is closing.

I've got 4 lines with Sprint, 3 of which average about 2 to 4 GB/month each. The 4th line is a tablet, and averages about 1GB/Mo. About 10GB/Mo combined. I've got a 40BG shared plan (with hotspot) and am paying only $146/month. Win/Win: Good price, no worries. Edit: Arysyn, see how concise, yet complete that was?

That is certainly impressive. Sprint the most improved over the last year? I say, Yes.

I think so, too. I didn't realize (until recently) how big Verizon is in comparison to the largest companies in the world. Far larger than even ATT and SoftBank. I suspect their influence goes far beyond the greater good. Corporate America, US Govt, nuff said. Certainly a concern (IMO) if Sprint/Softbank decide to participate in the 600MHZ auction. If there has ever been a time to root for the underdog....

The Nexus 5 was known to be one of the best RF performers produced. The G4 looks good per the FCC docs but, I'm not sure if any device will beat the N5 at this point.

wishful thinking

I don't think that IBEZ is the hold up in PHX B26 delays. It's getting Maricopa County to stop squatting on Sprint's spectrum.

It's a shame people don't realize how little "bars" mean. In most cases, it's completely irreverent to the experience the user will receive. Indoors at my work, I get 1 "bar" of LTE B41 and still get pings under 80ms and data speeds greater than 15mb. "Bars" are practically useless.

Definitely not the case in all instances. I experience nothing like that. Performance is just as good, if not better, on my G2. Have you tried a factory data reset post-update?

Wow, sorry to hear that. I'd try a few re-boots and profile updates. Or, if you're not willing to wait any longer, what Maverick kindly recommended. I got my update on day one at 6AM, OTA, with no issues. I couldn't be happier with the results... So, I say, it's worth the wait. Good luck!

English is the native language at S4GRU. Please re-post.

Interesting. Mine was off by default. But, my battery has been great just like it always has been, too.

not much we haven't seen but, since this is the 2015 phone I'm most looking forward to, I thought I'd share: Camera and screen look great... Hope the RF performance turns out to be good, too.

Ouch! I didn't realize there was no B41 at all.

It! This won't help much now, but I will be able to report soon. In a few weeks I will be taking a trip (driving) to MX from PHX. I plan on leaving my phone on, with International Data Roaming and International Voice enabled. I have already ensured several times that the International Value Roaming plan is indeed active on all my Sprint devices. Although most of my trip will be in Movistar coverage, there are a few gaps, which is what I am most curious about. I will leave my phone on the entire time, just to test. Again, it will be a few weeks before I take my vacation but, I will report back.

Agreed. This is probably the most flawless update I've had. Works like a champ!

My understanding is B26 is delayed in Phoenix due to Maricopa County, and Tuscon is delayed due to IBEZ.

Interesting, I'll have to look into that.
