  1. What do you mean?

    Sprint was being vague on how/if I would be able to upgrade my iPhone 6s Plus to the iPhone 7. I'm already in the iPhone Forever plan and was looking to upgrade.

     

    I got clarification by speaking to another Rep just a few minutes ago. I am able to upgrade if I've made 12 payments on my current iPhone, I'll just have to pay-off the remaining lease balance.

     

    I was confused, because I was told by several agents that I was eligible for upgrade with no penalty and DIDN'T have to pay anything to upgrade. I was even told this by the rep at the Sprint store when I originally signed up for iPhone Forever.

     

    As with anything, the devil is in the details.

  2. I never had issues with calls, but data all around my (St Johns area) is flaky. Sub 1mbps on Sprint's LTE occurred way too often. In the mean time, I've switched over to T-Mobile (who happens to have a very appealing unl family plan at the moment.) If you live within the city, I'd recommend them. In those same spots, T-Mobile tends to average 80-100x the speeds of Sprint. Mainly around the Avenues Mall is a big area I frequent. I wonder if Sprint's going to convert the Wimax site in the Walmart parking lot soon.

    You're on an Android handset, yes?

  3. I don't have it. I would maybe tweet Marcelo about it. Eventually you might have to consider other carriers as much as it sucks if they keep ignoring the issue. Or activate tmobile since you have apple sim and suspend your Sprint account for 3 months just til it passes.

    If I go anywhere, it'll probably be Verizon, TBH. I travel a lot and need all I can get, coverage-wise. I'd rather not leave Sprint. They were headed in the right direction for a spell.

  4. I wonder whats happening there? I noticed north Florida feels almost ignored by Sprint even if there are issues. They might have too much on there plate. How is Tmobile in the area?

    Not sure what's going on. Sprint was really good after NV1.0 was mostly completed in Jax, then about 3 months ago went to total shit. Clear B41 is totally overloaded and calls are totally unreliable. If you can catch some Sprint B41, it is fast, especially with CA.

     

    Do we still have a High-Level Sprint contact that we can contact on S4GRU? Anybody that you guys know? I've called and submitted countless tickets and never get a response and the issue continues to get worse.

  5. Is this a iphone only issue?

    No idea. Seems like it is. All of my lines are iPhones now, so I can't be sure. It is like the iPhone isn't pinging the network to check for calls and when a call comes through, it just rings and rings on the callers end until VM picks up, while the iPhone you're calling never once rings. This happens on just about every call. I have to call my wife 5-10times to get through to her and vise-versa.

  6. Mine shipped the next day. If they didn't copy your email address correctly, that could be a reason why you never got the shipment email. Call them tomorrow and see if it shipped.

    Well, Sprint screwed up and didn't complete the order......Go figure.

     

    Hopefully got it straight. Let's see how long this takes now.

    I got mine in two days, shipped to almost the middle of no where.

    The Sprint data optimizer is number three for battery use.

    I am seeing this as well. At first I figured they turned it back on with the update, but even after turning it off I still see this.

    Yup. I disabled it and am still seeing it running.

    Rooted running 5.0.1 debloated. Sounds like LG needs to brush up on their OTAs. Glad I don't ever do stock. 4 months of it was bad enough waiting for root after release day. With the level of savvy in this community I often wonder why any one of you run stock. Rooting is all but idiot proof, and with a stock TOT file and a computer, nothing can stop you but hardware failure which root is not going to cause unless you mess with the CPU.

     

    And Coors is correct. 4.4.2 ZV4 is the only rootable version. ZV6 and ZV8 cannot be rooted and likely never will be.

     

    Sprint needs to hurry up with VoLTE and Carrier Aggregation. Although LTE in Denver area is pretty good minus Highlands Ranch.

    You're absolutely correct.

     

    My fear isn't rooting, it is the endless customization and availability of different Roms, which makes choosing the correct one difficult for somebody that doesn't follow this stuff everyday. It is slightly overwhelming.

     

    I just want a bone stock Android L ROM that I can tweak from there, rooted obviously.

    Just flash the rooted image. I don't know that you will see a way to hack root under 5.0 , it's a lot more secure. You will probably have to flash kitkat, root and twrp that, then flash the 5.0.1 rooted image .

    This is what I was afraid of. :sadface:

    is it just with sprint data or does it do with wifi to???

     

    mine gets squirrely on occasion with texts, as does the wifes G2....

    Does it with everything, even WiFi. It is driving me insane.

     

    While I love lollipop, it is proven to be buggy as hell, at least LG's implementation of it. Ugh.

     

    As soon as I can root this shit, I'm going as stock android L as I can get.

    OK guys, my G3 started getting the "unable to connect to proxy server" error yesterday. It'll happen randomly and when it does, I have zero internet connections. A reboot will fix it until it happens again.

     

    Has anybody figured out what is causing this or how to fix it?

  7. One of the MAIN reasons I use an iPhone 6+ alongside my G3 is for the camera. Don't get me wrong, the G3 has a really nice camera, but it doesn't hold a candle to the iPhone 6+, especially in low-light. The 4k video on the G3 is a different animal, however.

     

    If you guys are interested in some decent iPhone photography, you can head over to my Instagram (@carythelabelguy). Most shots are from the iPhone or s DSLR unless stated otherwise.
