  1. There is an area of near broad where my speed would be around 1 mb down but I have to be getting b41 because I hit 30-40 now As far as band 26.. I have no clue.. But isn't that sorta a last resort? Sprint seems to have set prl's on the iPhone so you won't hit that band unless there is the absence of everything else and that's probably how they want it.. Because from Sprints point of view it makes sense to set prl's so you don't utilize b26 unless it can't get much else - b26 doesn't have much bandwidth and you don't want to hand it out to those picking up the other two bands. The only problem is I have to be in a deep dark dungeon to pick up b26 it seems they made it impractical - my other bands maybe barely useable
  2. Yeah I'm getting LTE in places the 5c couldn't. That's all I care about because before the phone turned into a rock that lit up
  3. The ip6 and 6+ both won more display accuracy test then any device I beleive -except the Note 4.. What put the iP6+ in the top two ever winning that many areas ( which the other was the Note 4) iam not sure except maybe the 1080p versus ...iP6 which displays a hair above 720p ..and the higher iP6+ dpi which arguably is hard to detect - I couldnt see it. Even displaymate acknowledges in the S5 and Note reviews that some colors are hard to see at a higher dpi for a person with 20/20 vision. It depends on distance of even inches. This is why many 50-60 inch HD screens are only 150dpi
  4. Yes but I was replying to you post 876 which insisted the S5 had the best display. The S5 does not have the same display as the Note4 ...and both the iP6 and 6+ beat the S5 in the majority of color accuracy test.
  5. They said the iphone 6 has the best Lcd display .. While ( it was said in an earlier review)the S5 has the best amOLED display..these are different technologies though .. OLED's strength has been is displaying blacks.. While LCD is better with lights.. This is why displaymate said it was "unexpected" that the iPhone 6 still had better contrast in ambient lighting then the S5. They also said "The iPhone 6 Plus is only the second Smartphone display (-LCD or OLED-) to ever get all Green (Very Good to Excellent) Ratings in all test and measurement categories (except for Brightness variation with Viewing Angle, which is the case for all LCDs) since we started the Display Technology Shoot-Out article series in 2006" So there it is in black in white- the iP6+ is only 1 of 2 displays ( of Oled or Lcd ) to rate that high since they began in 2006. The iPhone 6 ( and 5s) win hands down in nearly all color accuracy test: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8554/the-iphone-6-review/8
  6. The most in depth reviews of any devices including smartphones are found at anandtech.The iPhone 6 loads apps faster, beat all android phones loading (any) web browser even using googles own Octane benchark, it had the fastest acquire target auto focus on any camera ; better low light pics.. The most accurate colors shown on a display screen, period ( which was also said last week by the trusted Displaymate website).. http://anandtech.com/show/8554/the-iphone-6-review
  7. I had it happen twice. Once I was using an aftermarket lightning cord I got at 5 and below.. The lightning cords ( oem or not ) all have a microchip in the head of the lightning plug. If the after market dealer has no agreement with Apple eventually iOS blocks its use. The other time it happened my Apple lightning cord .. It was frayed and had been excessively used and sometimes I'd get that message. Both of these happened with my 5c For now I'm not even using the cord that came with my iP6... I'm using a aftermarket one I got for my 5c.. I'd place money it's the cord even if new because a chip can still be bad in those. The Apple Store is a sure bet if one is close for a free diag
  8. 2 million preorders in China in 1st 6 hours.. http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/10/02/apples-iphone-6-6-plus-reservations-in-china-reportedly-hit-2-million-in-first-6-hours
  9. Haven't tried much but when reading or surfing on Safari instead of hitting the toggle window to switch to another open window I used two thumbs to shrink my open browser window and then two thumbs ( or a finger ) to pull another one side open onto the screen... Did it on landscape mode or whatever it's called.. Phone long ways left to right (camera on left and home button on right , NOT top to bottom). It might work too to bottom I never tried because I like widescreen.. By doing it this way u don't have to yank down on the screen to reveal the toggle and plus buttons .. Avoiding a step.. The thumb minimize trick is faster.. No biggie just convient I've noticed another nice feature on the voice text I'm sure most of you have tried and already know.. If you hit the msg it plays over speaker and if you raise it to eat it plays discreetly in your ear.
  10. Only at the Apple Store but I wasn't paying attention at most places
  11. Im surprised you havent already. Im a worrier.. so I called .. i told them the tracking site offered no info.. this way you can also see if they see your order in their system - as they should.
  12. yeah.. i called and they told me more then what the tracking website did.. for days the tracking website had nothing at all..
  13. I called Sprint and selected ( in the menu ) like I was ordering a new product - although I already had.. this got me to the right people it seemed and faster
  14. Have you called Sprint like I did ? They updated my phone number ( in the order ) and made sure everything was right .. they might be able tell you more on shipping status
  15. Sound like a franchise store.. thats where i ordered my wifes - a franchise, not a corporate store... I got an agreement but it lacked the order number i needed to track it at the Sprint " /myorder" link. They also didnt have my phone number right somehow.. haha.. and its their number
  16. Wife was home and intercepted it.. He drove off and then 30 seconds later I pulled in.. She found it comical
  17. Dude I just got home for lunch.. I'm fortunate to live a few miles away .. The ups guy came right before I pulled in.. My phone is here
  18. Wife's 128 Gb iPhone Plus was ordered in store and recieved 3 days after launch date.. Mine was ordered through Sprint Corporate on phone and is scheduled for delivery today through UPS.. 3 days..
  19. On the bright side, although we have two Galaxy tabs.. we still have our 2.1 Amp iPhone charger from our iPad. Regretfully, last year I needed cash when I got in a bind and sold my iPad, but got top dollar. We had an extra charger for it and now can use it for both our iPhone 6's..
  20. No it wont discharge faster... the problem ( in the past ) when you used your ipad charger with say-- your 5s, or iPhone 5.. is it didn't support fast 2.1 amp charge - the use of a 2.1 amp charger in those ( non supported ) would result in more of a risk of shortening of battery life ( shortening of how many times it could be charged and perhaps how fully charged ).. With supported 2.1am charging that shouldn't be an issue with the iP6..
  21. As all you of know, I just ordered my iPhone 6+ 128 Gb on Sunday Sept 28th. The rep told me 2 weeks.. which she said they were more available then the 64 Gb models. So i logged onto sprint.com/mypreorder to look .... I can't beleive it ! It's been only 3 freaking days.. and its shipping ! I should get it today ! WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Here's a copy: Scheduled For Early Delivery On: Wednesday, 10/01/2014, By End of Day Originally Scheduled For Delivery On: Thursday, 10/02/2014, By End of Day
  22. You did an iPad charge or you charged your iP6 with the iPad charger? The iPhone 6 ( and 6+ ) ships with the 1 amp charger, despite having full support for the 2.1 amp ( comes with iPad ) So using the 2.1 amp charger won't hurt anything and according to the link below nearly (90%) charged an iP6 Plus in 2 hours instead of the 3.5 hours it takes with the 1 amp charger. http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/iphone-6-6-plus-support-2.1a-charging-ship-with-1a-adapters
  23. Full iPhone 6 reviews. At the bottom you can toggle to other parts of the review. This is in depth covering the soc and more, but if you want just cpu benchmarks, memory speed, and gpu are covered on pages 5 and 6 ... Interesting to see a cpu clocked slower that beats faster clocked android chips. Reminds me of Intel versus Amd. It's not how fast the clock ticks as most look at clock speed - when comparing different brand CPUs - it's how much work is being done per clock tick. Review also covers the camera and display and compares to android http://www.anandtech.com/show/8554/the-iphone-6-review
  24. Yeah I know but I beleive they are taking pre-orders. We got a cheap case for my wife's iP6+ till the otterbox is on sale
