    CellularInfo for iOS: Beta Released (was Coming soon)

    in Apple/iPhone/iOS

    Posted

    Not sure of the process for that. I'll look into it soon.

    For now let's just assume that no App Store apps can reproduce CellularInfo's features.

    Oh I can probably guarantee that no App Store app can reproduce what our CellularInfo can do. I'm just saying you should trademark the name so that people, like this guy on the App Store, can't make money off of it. I'll do some research also about trademarking a name too.

    Mine is not so good. Same old stuff. Still dropping to 3G constantly in the same spots. I guess I'll learn to live with it, as we probably won't get another carrier update until September with 9.0.

     

    Edit: I wonder if I have a bad SIM card? Couldn't that be a cause of weird connection issues? I've had the same Sim since my 5s. (About 17 months)

    My 6 plus wouldn't accept my 5s's sim. And neither did my Dad's. Or my sister's 6. We had to get new ones from Sprint. Of course we did get Sim-free versions, but still.

    I know Vince has brought it up and I had a placebo effect after 8.2, but how is everybody's experience with the scanning times after the 8.3 and carrier update? I seem to be on LTE more when in a moving vehicle (especially on the freeway), and on fringe B41 or fringe B25/borderline EVDO only areas it scans back and forth like crazy. As well, voice seems to be parked on 1x800 most of the time at work in the building where it was mostly weak 1x1900 before. I don't even need the WiFi calling there, voice works great. I think I'm having a genuine experience this time, no placebo.

    My experience seems to be the same as yours.

    Sprint Wifi Calling.....

    in General Topics

    Posted

    Did you always get the "this device is unlocked already" and then you tested with T-Mo or something and it said it was locked? I've called 5 times already.

    They never told me that it was unlocked already, but they did tell me that the previous attempts had failed. I had made at least 10 calls to them before it was successful. It is still relatively new, and not all reps know how to do it. Just gotta keep trying till you find one.

    PRL's do not change anything that have to do with LTE band priorities or LTE band switching. What is more than likely happening is when these 'PRL Updates' are released, Apple/Sprint are probably releasing some kind of update to the carrier package also and that update effects LTE band priorities/switching. That is most likely what is occurring. The PRL is just the public thing that we can see that is changing.

    What makes it worse is I paid off the phone on 2/25.

    Ask them to make sure that your device upgrade eligibility has been reset. We had paid our phones off in December, and when I was trying to get my 5S unlocked in March, they couldn't unlock it because they don't automatically reset your upgrade eligibility when the device is paid off. They will have to open a ticket to have it be reset and it should take no more than 48 hours. After that, call back and try to get it unlocked. That is what I had to do.

    See, that's the opposite of how I feel. I feel it was always broken, and 8.2 actually fixed that feature. I have several friends who find it necessary to send out 8-10 people group texts for weekend activities, and it drives me nuts. Before, DND on the convo, it would still flash my camera light, and light up my screen, showing the messages on the lock screen, and I thought that was dumb. They do everything but make the alert sound. Now, it's like you said, nothing. Only the badge above the messages icon, and I'm really happy. I keep telling my friends, text for single conversations, Facebook for group chats. It's so easy to remove yourself, and silence alerts for X amount of time, or permanently on Facebook. Plus, the thread flow is more accurate and easier to follow. In those group texts, there are a few without iPhones, causing the typical SMS delay, out-of-order thread flow.

    It'd be nice if Apple gave us the option to leave visual notifications on when DND is on. That way you could have it your way and I could have it my way. Lol.

    What's broken on DND? I work nights and sleep during the day. It's my lifesaver at preventing the 600 alerts I get during the day so I can actually sleep. Works fine for me.

    Well, I'm not sure about full DND, just DND that is used on individual conversations in the messages app. Before 8.2 when I had DND enabled in a group message, I would still get a visual notification/NC notification, but I wouldn't get a sound, which I loved. After 8.2, I get absolutely nothing. Well, I get a app badge notification, which absolutely sucks. I can look at my phone and see there are no notifications but then I unlock my phone and see on my messages app that i have 30 un-read messages. I hate it.

     

    Plus, I think 8.2 either broke my messages app altogether or I need a restore. Why? Well, whenever I delete a conversation in my messages app, after I delete it, I tap on another conversation, the phone freezes for ~10 seconds with the conversation highlighted, then loads the conversation but only displays the most recent message sent/received in that convo. In order to get the rest of the convo back, you must completely close the messages app, then reopen it, which will result in opening the messages app and it taking ~45 seconds to open and then it displaying that I have NO conversations at all (which will happen if you completely close the messages app like before of if you just go to your home screen and the messages app gets pushed out of the RAM and the OS decides to refresh the app), and the only way to get them back is to reset the phone. In which case, once the phone powers back on, you open the messages app and VIOLA, you conversations are back, along with the conversation that you tried to delete. -_-

    Final battery life for today.

     

     

    Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk 3.1.1

    That's about what I am usually able to get. I can regularly get 10 hours of usage and 15 hours of standby, which is good enough for me. Ever since I went from my 5S to my 6+, I haven't worried a single time throughout the day that my battery was going to die. I usually only got 3-4 hours usage and maybe 8 hours standby on my 5S, and that was with plugging it in on my way to school and on the way home each day. If it can get me through the day with me using it as much as I want without worrying, then that's good enough for me.

     

    The battery usage picture that I posted a few posts up was with me unplugging it at ~5 PM EDT Friday, having it sit next to me all night while I watched a Fast and Furious marathon, then when I went to Cars and Coffee Saturday morning, then come home and go to sleep without plugging it in (because I was up all night and I felt like testing it) until 4 PM EDT, and then I got up until 8 PM EDT and went back to sleep (which is when I posted the picture). That is why I had such low usage time, but I was just so impressed with how well it was at standby. My 5S would go from 100% when I arrive at school to 50% when I left with less than an hour of usage. So I am thoroughly impressed. :)

    I dunno how accurate the test are according to the speed test app.

    But I can really tell the difference in the way my phone reacts say when I open and play netflix, showbox, etc. Buffering/loading doesn't even last 2 seconds.

    BTW, earlier today

    Why are the pings so high? I usually get better pings than that on EV-DO. Are you using a server that is located very far from you?

    The public beta version and the beta 4 version should have the same IPSW, so you should be fine if you use that. If for some reason you were to not be able to activate it you just do another DFU restore and you should be fine. It's next to impossible to brick an iOS device these days.
