To be honest, Apple hasn't really invented a lot. They are more in the market of being innovators; taking something already invented and more or less perfecting it. And as fan-boyish as that sounds, an argument can be made to convince many people that that is true. -Anthony

We had 3 iPhones unlocked internationally in 5 minutes. It's not enforced much. -Anthony

Settings>General>Profiles (It won't be there right now, but it will appear right below VPN). -Anthony

I'm sure that if you were the one planning Network Vision years ago with the budget that Sprint was working with, you wouldn't have been able to follow your backhaul "recommendations", either. But you're right, had they been able to plan with more than "just in time" backhaul, they would be much further ahead in the game than they are. At least they are making up for it, though, and at a blistering pace, too. -Anthony

Within 20 seconds of having his phone in my hands, I was able to fix the problem. Turns out, when he put his Ooredoo SIM card in his phone, it installed a "Profile" that added the APN settings for the carrier into his phone, so whenever he tried to access the internet on Sprint, it tried using the Ooredoo APN settings, and wouldn't be able to connect to the data network. I deleted it and immediately he got his data access. Who woulda thunk it? Lol. -Anthony

Having a little problem with my Dad. So, he has been in Qatar for the past week with his SIM-Free iPhone 6 Plus that we went and got for him just after they were released. He had activated it on Sprint when we got it for him, and while he was in Qatar, he was using it on Ooredoo, one of their cellular providers. Upon returning to the US (he is currently in DC at the airport waiting for his connecting flight to Charlotte), he has popped his Sprint SIM back into it and when he tries to use data, he gets "Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data plan." He is getting LTE and everything and he is able to send SMS and make/receive phone calls, but is not able to use data. I have had him do a PRL update (##UPDATE#), I have had him pop out the SIM card and put it back in, soft reset the phone, restart the phone, and reset network settings, yet he still can't use his data. When he gets back to Charlotte and I get home from picking him up from the airport, I am going to contact Sprint to see if there is anything they can do on their end. Anyone got any ideas or insight on this? -Anthony

I literally just upgraded to that 2 minutes ago lol. -Anthony

I think he may be trying to say that he wants a dislike button so he can show his sympathy, not to make fun of you. -Anthony

By the way, the signing window for iOS 8.1.2 has closed. If you didn't downgrade (or upgrade) to 8.1.2 before now, then you are stuck where you're at. -Anthony

Speaking of Cydia, how's your progress on your beta build? I hope everything is coming along swimmingly. -Anthony

This! 1000 times this!! Excellent idea! How do we get in contact with Sprint's advertising agency? -Anthony

Great! 310-120 is Sprint, and anything else should be Clear. -Anthony

Oh well, you know, it's a little difficult to spend billions, or as you say it "BILLIONS" on network upgrades when you don't have BILLIONS to spend. And Sprint wasn't doing nothing, they were planning Network Vision, which started deployment in 2012, which took years to plan and finance with the limited amount of resources they had. And AT&T and Verizon weren't exactly investing BILLIONS into their networks, they were either buying up smaller operators or, in Verizons case, setting up the LTEiRA (while also putting some money into their own networs). Verizon and AT&T also have ageing equipment at most of their cell sites because pretty much all they did to make their networks so good was go and slap up a new panel on the most sites and add some high speed backhaul. I have not a clue how you can sit here and try to make accusations like that, on this website of all places. How about you go back to HoFo or Tmo news or wherever you came from. -Anthony

In field test? I'm not exactly sure. The way they do it on Android is they look at the MCC-MNC, which isn't displayed in Field Test. -Anthony

CellularInfo is going to be a step in the right direction, though. -Anthony

Oh, I figured you had tried that already. I was under the impression that when Mac people see someone say to hit Shift that they just automatically used the Option key... because that's how you do it on Mac... -Anthony

You and Josh's stories make me relish in the fact that I have a PC Sorry you guys aren't allowed to do it the easier way :/ -Anthony

You need the IPSW. I believe your iPhone 6 is 7,2. I could be mistaken. A quick Google search can probably confirm or bust that. And no, you don't have to do a DFU restore. Just plug into iTunes, Shift+Update, and select the IPSW and it should downgrade you without a hitch. Make sure to take a backup though in case something goes wrong. -Anthony

Well, actually, it's just turn off Find My iPhone, turn off passcode, Jailbreak! -Anthony

No, but you can still downgrade to 8.1.2 which is a very simple process (took me all of 10 minutes). -Anthony

In many places that would help significantly too. -Anthony

I'm confused as to how AT&T is in first place in speed? From the looks of it, Verizon is at least 30 percent faster than AT&T, and yet somehow AT&T (and T-Mobile) beats Verizon in the speed index? -Anthony

Thanks for the update! It's awesome that you are making such great progress. Can't wait to test it out! -Anthony

Hmm, looks like I did use Taig, totally forgot about that. -Anthony

I used Pangu 1.2.0. Worked flawlessly for me. -Anthony
