    Nope, that's the date of mine (128GB Black). Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Depends on how they implement deprioritization. I heard the way Sprint does it when you surpass 23GB is that they basically add latency to every packet on congested sites (ie make you wait because you're lower priority). In other words, increased ping times which would be awful for SSH. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Likewise. At my place in Pittsburgh I'm at -95 on B41 and I'm about 1.5+ miles from the site. It is line of sight though... Pittsburgh geography helps a lot, sites are placed at the tops of the hills so B41 coverage is really good in the city. On the other hand, B41 doesn't get very far at all in SF. I'm guessing because of site locations and building materials. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    No of course not, but it's nice to have when you're out of wifi range. And it's nice when visitors have good service at your house and don't need to ask for the wifi password. What's home to you is a friend's place to someone else, if that makes sense. Residential areas should have B41. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    I think it's corporate versus regular. Corporate used to have evdo roaming and consumer didn't. Not sure what the actual difference is now. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Yup, just got 55057 on my Nexus 6P Sent from my Nexus 6P

    I think it is, but the hardware is capable of 15x15. They just need to submit it to the FCC for approval, then push out a software update. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Do they though? In a lot of markets (SF, Pittsburgh, Sacramento for starters) I believe they're down to a single 1x1900 carrier and a single 1x800 carrier. Then 2 EVDO carriers, but those don't matter for voice. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    They may have. This is just a record the city had of sites as of yet date. Likely pulled from their permit database. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    San Francisco has a map with every RF antenna in the city. You can filter by carrier. https://fusiontables.google.com/DataSource?docid=1jgD0NwaO_dLNhIkjaANj_2fzV9WFwLDGgb8uM57x#map:id=3 Was last updated April 2015 though. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Not Nexus devices [emoji17] Google added support for Passpoint in 5.0 or 6.0, but since Sprint Connection Optimizer isn't installed apparently it can't use it as per the agreement Sprint and Boingo have. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    As of yesterday, when I went to change a line to have Open World instead of Global Roaming, I was unable to remove Global Roaming first like I used to have to do. There was no remove link next to it. However, I was able to add Open World to the line without removing it. A customer service rep confirmed Open World was successfully added. So perhaps Sprint has now made Global Roaming the new default and we won't have to go through the hoops to swap between them anymore. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Actually! I just hooked it up to my phone and the stock antenna works fine for the waterfall. You can see where the B26 carrier in Pittsburgh starts (on the right). I'm guessing 1x is on the left, and the dip is the guard band. I'll be in Youngstown on the weekend of October 1, I can check and see if there's anything there then. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    You should get one of the $25 SDRs and see if you can pick up anything in that frequency. My issue was I didn't have a suitable antenna. I have a feeling you have access to one though [emoji39] Sent from my Nexus 6P

    I don't think this is true. It should be done remotely. Lots of drop down menus from what I understand, but batch scripts can be used to automate it. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Yup. Here's a screenshot of Global Roaming when I was in South Africa. It was throttled to the speed they said it would be, so I just got a local SIM. The traffic is routed to Sprint first before going out to the internet. So you have a US IP address as well. But again, from far places, such as South Africa, it makes the latency unbearable. And kills your battery since the mobile radio is basically always active since the speed is throttled (ie it can't quickly finish up and go to sleep). Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Yup, here's one taken just now from the same site while running a speed test. First and second carriers aggregated. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Sprint is the one doing the throttling, not the roaming carrier. All your data when roaming abroad is routed through a Sprint server in Kansas. That's how they track data usage as well as throttle it. It also means awful pings/latency when you're far from Kansas since everything has to go there first. Also, the unlimited "2G" just means 2G speeds. It's often over an HSPA network, not GSM. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    It can only be CA with the second carrier, since it needs to be contiguous. Last night I had the third carrier being the primary and the second carrier as the secondary. Sent from my Nexus 6P
  20. ingenium
    Yup third carrier is popping up all over Pittsburgh Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Yeah I believe BART now has service in most stations and tunnels. The southern portion had it for a while, and last I checked downtown also has it now, albeit not B41. I think it's been extended to the East Bay now as well. Ashby Station has B26 (seemingly a DAS), but I couldn't find B25 oddly. It cut out halfway to the downtown Berkeley station. So they're definitely making progress on BART at least. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Yup I have the same charger. Works great. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Ironic, I was in high school when it happened. I remember watching it on TV during what was supposed to be geometry class. We heard the plane that crashed in PA fly directly over our school... Sent from my Nexus 6P

    I'm not sure which post you're replying to, but yeah there will only be 2 5x5 B25 carriers until the CDMA shutdown. There's no room to expand further, and no way to make a 10x10 until then. Of course, this means no EVDO, but there would be a single 1x800 carrier. In other words, it's years away from being a possibility. Sent from my Nexus 6P

    Yes there is B26 on pretty much every Sprint site in the bay area. SFO has a DAS that has both B25 and B26. Plus the airport is ringed in Clear B41 sites. Speeds at the airport are great. Usually you don't want to be on B26 though, because it's always super congested and barely usable, if at all. Sent from my Nexus 6P
