    Network Vision/LTE - Hawaii Market (including Honolulu, Oahu and all Hawaiian Islands)

    Hey Hawaii Peeps, have you seen what Mobi is doing. Last year, they sold their spectrum and towers to Verizon. Now they are advertising MVNO plans with either Verizon or Sprint as the carrier. Their rates appear to be a total rip-off. For example, for $160, I get 20 GB of shared data for 4 lines from Sprint. For the same amount, I'd get 5GB from Mobi on the Sprint network. What are they thinking?

    switching my phone out 3x a year sounds like more of a hassle than a gift

    I think the real bullshit of his announcement was the comment that "Now you can switch with no added fee." As I understand it, the Jump $10 fee includes insurance. So what he's saying is, Now you can lease a phone, and we won't require you to buy insurance, but since it's a lease, you may want to buy some insurance.

    I'd really like to do that, and would if it were my own account. As I'm sharing it with my mother though, convincing her to work with someone with a current plan, is pretty difficult, even though to me the process seems fine. This idea certainly isn't one Sprint disagrees with.

    I have a Framily (God, I hate that word) of four. You're welcome to join. PM me if you're interested and we can work out the details.

    Most have "approved to issue". Is that different than actually issued? How can we tell the difference?

    As I recall, approved to issue means the city has reviewed the application and approved it. The contractor now has to go to the Fasi Municipal Building and get it and it will be issued. Contractors will wait because the job is not scheduled or they are waiting for other permits, materials, etc.

     

    An approved permit will have a permit number and the status will change to under inspection.

    Just a quick question...

     

    I have a Sprint version of the M8, and I have never been able to change the background color of the clock from the stock green color, to the black color I have seen on other M8 devices...

    Is there any way to make the change?

    Select the black and white theme. (It's the last one).

    Sprint probably updated the site in anticipation for a launch tomorrow. I recall this happening before. Sprint updated their page about a day ahead the actual launch.When you wake up tomorrow and try to update your phone, it'll probably work.

    I'd watch Mo Verci's Twitter feed for an official announcement.

    I didn't know the appropriate topic for this, but this thread covers a whole lot of bases.  This is an interesting article regarding the sustainability of T-Mobile's strategy.  Note the remarks at the end by Deutsche Telekom regarding a merger with Sprint.

    No Lollipop upgrade today. :(

    It's still a bit early. And based on the way my Nexus has been running with it, I hope they take their time. At least wait for 5.0.2 to correct the memory leak.

    Thanks, I will probably hold off on it until a rooted version comes out.

     

    I just got the M8 and I'm in love with it. The GPE ports work very well and has given me a great taste of Lolipop! Does this new update include a new modem? Do the modems have different network optimizations each update? (For example, on the G2, going from one modem to another post KitKat, the signal seemed to stay the same.)

    Given the size of the update, I'd say it doesn't have anything new other than bug fixes. I didn't RUU, I got it OTA with no data loss. Try check for update and see if it's available.

    did your runtime change to art? I didn't have he option for the previous update. So mine was over 300megs. Art is suppose to according to android central forums perform better than previous build.

    I stand corrected. Yes, the sucker is running ART. Seems snappier too. Wow. Thanks for making me look.

    Okay, Google is your friend. Sprint's website has no mention of this release. HTC's however says that Maintenance Release version 3.31.654.2, released on 12/19, is for bug fixes. Glad I checked on a whim so I found it.

    The change to ART will come with the Lollipop update to 5.0.1. I think your update is the Eye experience update which came out about a month or so ago. The update I just got has the same version number (3.31.654.2) but had only 45.3 MB. So I think it's just bug fixes.

    Seems to work fine. Wi-Fi calling was giving me some issues with connecting prior to the update. That seems to be corrected a as it connected to this network right away. Ymmv.
