I wonder as other carriers kill off their 2G networks, Sprint is getting access to those carriers 3G Network by default, hence the increase in speed. Another option is not all carriers bother to throttle roaming customers. Sprint really has very little control over the experience on other carrier's networks.

Pretty decent list of locations. Not pooled together nor just major cities. Also I thought doing this was more difficult for ATT and Verizon since they have aging infrastructure?

 

Where as Sprint is supposed to be nimble

I have a question regarding Sprint's new Unlimited Freedom plan I've been a bit confused about. Sprint is offering a deal where you can sign up for the Unlimited Freedom plan, and get this :

• Limited time offer: Act now and get Unlimited Freedom Premium for FREE thru 10/31/16, when you sign up for Unlimited Freedom.

Does this mean if you sign up before the end of October, you'll be locked in to the Premium version of the plan at no extra cost for as long as you remain a Sprint customer on that plan, or does it mean you get the benefits of Premium for free that expire at that date?

Has anyone ever experience their Note 5 restarting randomly overnight while on the charger? I woke up at some point this morning and went to check any notifications and noticed my fingerprint didn't work. Apparently it restarted at some point during my sleep.

Try turning on enhanced messaging in your stock app. It will also revolutionise how it works.

2G roaming in Australia provided the bare usability as expected. Good. Better than nothing!

 

I did buy the $25 7-day 200MB of 3G data, though, because I needed to use Uber to go on a date with a visiting New Zealand woman.

No, actually in Iowa City, LTE is hard to pick up, so you almost always sit on 3G and have to toggle airplane mode several times before you can pick up LTE(Provided you are really near the tower).

 

I do agree that the iPhone 6S' signal-holding is a nice step up from the 5S, but it still needs more work. I do have PRL 54054 (Sprint 24.1)

So what's going on with SouthernLINC? If I recall correctly they have ~7mhz of SMR spectrum. Are they deploying 3x3 Band 26 LTE only and keeping some iden channels for voice? Are they deploying SMR 1x for voice? I can't imagine they have enough bandwidth for a UMTS channel and LTE.

 

Or have they come to an agreement with Sprint on spectrum and/or roaming?

Reduced data speeds? I do not know and have not noticed. But reduced SMS speeds? Yes. That, I have noticed. Because I believe SMS in that situation gets sent over CDMA1X, not LTE.

Have you been leaving it on the screen frequently? Do you have Location Service enabled, and if so are you using High Accuracy mode? There really isn't anything else that should noticeably impact battery life. Some of those battery screens are not as accurate and/or report stats in a manner that most users misinterpret. For example, you might leave SignalCheck running in the foreground for 6 hours while you drive. Some devices may report that as "Screen" usage, while others report it under SignalCheck. Other apps may show a percentage that appears to be power usage, but is actually representative of percentage of total power used (i.e. 10% means "10% of the power that has been used", not "10% of total battery capacity"). I do not know of any battery drain issues in any recent releases of the app.

 

 

What device and what Android version? My crash monitoring service is only showing a modest number of force closes, mostly nonspecific errors somehow related to notifications. In the overall scheme of things it has only impacted a very small percentage of users. Unfortunately it doesn't report security patch date or build number, only Android version.

 

It seems odd that there would be a code change in a security update significant enough to break something, but I guess anything is possible..

Signal check reports a huge battery drain on the note 5, why is that?

This is what the normal carrier looks like in our market:

Two more from the center point and 32nd St tower (different tower than the first screens). Is the second carrier actually going live? How can Sprint free up enough spectrum for this to happen here? The more I look at it unless I'm missing something, I think it might be a glitch report.

Here's the engineering screen to go with it.

How do you get to the engineering screens on this phone?

So this just appeared in Cedar Rapids. I'll try to get engineering screens (I don't remember the code for Samsung phones) if I see it again. It's not supposed to be possible here, so further investigation will be needed.

350 PETAbytes saved is pretty impressive.

Well I don't disagree with this if it was a leased device.

Looks like the second carrier is going live. In Charleston, WV.

i think i may have found the issue...I've had power save mode on and it always seemed to cut out when the screen dimmed and goes black or when i push the button to make it go to sleep..i turned off the power save feature and started up pandora and pushed the power button to make it go to sleep and it kept playing and hasn't stopped. it didn't do that before the update when i had the power save mode active. to the guy with the issue with the alarm, did you have the power save mode turned on?

I noticed that warning is gone too. It was so annoying.

I'm hardly ever on WiFi so I don't think I have encountered this glitch? I get LTE everywhere so I hardly remember to turn it on.

Looks like I got the WiFi glitch.

Completely Agree!

Interesting, I wonder who the partner is in Scottsbluff. I think there was a wimax site there that could have been converted.
