  1. EDIT: Sorry about the huge picture, I hate tapatalk and everything about it. E Experiencing phenomenal battery life on the GM so far. This amount of standby/usage would yield me at 50-60% on any of the previous betas. Never had such good standby performance before. -Anthony Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
  2. It does appear that the raise to speak feature gas disappeared. I've always had it off so I didn't notice. Hmm.. -Anthony
  3. Well, it actually isn't considered a beta. It's the full version of iOS 8. From what I see, you have 2 problems. 1. You have Bluetooth on, and 2. Like you said, Siri ran all night for whatever reason. Now, you probably have Bluetooth on all the time, if I assume correctly, so lets eliminate that from the equation. If I were you, I would do a soft reset of the device (Home button+Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo comes up) and see if that helps. Could have been a little glitch. I have actually seen much better battery life in 8 GM than I did on Beta 5, so I'm satisfied with it so far. -Anthony
  4. Field test is back to 3.5 inch size in iOS 8 GM. I'm not sure how this happens... -Anthony
  5. Band 26 is 800 MHz. So a lower frequency. When they upgraded the towers in our market, certain users of the 800 MHz spectrum that Sprint would use for LTE were still using it, so Sprint had to wait for them to move off of the spectrum in order to deploy it. The equipment was there, but Sprint couldn't turn it on. Now, the people who were using Sprint's spectrum have moved off of it, so Sprint is now deploying 800 MHz LTE in NC. Deploying 800 LTE is very easy compared to upgrading the tower. It consists of going to the site, installing something called a Carrier Card in the Base Station, and pretty much flipping the switch. That's the simplest way I can explain it. -Anthony
  6. The new bands in the iPhone 6 will allow us to connect to Spark (LTE Band 41). The current iPhone 5s has support for LTE Bands 25 (1900 PCS) and 26 (800 SMR). Charlotte is on it's way to being a pretty good Sprint market, once Bands 26 and 41 are fully rolled out. Band 41, I hear, is around, but not as prevalent as Band 25. And from my experiences, Band 26 has just recently started showing up. So I can guarantee that things will get MUCH better. -Anthony
  7. Never listen to a CS rep, they almost always have no clue what they're talking about when it comes to the network. We have a decent bit of 800 LTE floating around in the surrounding areas of Charlotte. I've mostly found it in the Concord/Kannapolis area. -Anthony
  8. Sprint hasn't announced that they will allow support for it, yet. I can almost guarantee that Sprint will get WiFi calling on the 6, even iOS 8 in general, they just haven't said they will support it yet. We need to wait for the device to be publicly available, then we shall see. Patience, young Padawan. -Anthony
  9. January will be my 12th month on Easy Pay. That's when I plan on getting my 6 plus. Can't wait to have me some Band 41 goodness! -Anthony
  10. I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think the Apple stores will do it. It's kind of like how Framily was, where it's mostly a Sprint store only thing. -Anthony
  11. I just did shift+update on my 5s from beta 5 and on my Dad's 5s from 7.1.2. Working oretty well. -Anthony
  12. I'm currently updating iTunes to 11.4 on my PC and when that is done, I will install the GM. -Anthony
  13. Now I need to get out of the habit of clicking on where "The Wall" now sits because I'm so used to "The Forums" being in its place -Anthony
  14. Yup, just looked at the Tab. Back on eHRPD. Odd. -Anthony
  15. Welcome to the past 7 years. It's been this way since the iPhone came out. -Anthony
  16. Who changed the name of the thread?? -Anthony
  17. I'm definitely getting the 5.5 inch in January when I upgrade. I can't pass up that insane (when compared to the 5s) battery life! -Anthony
  18. Yeah this is stupid, they've been livestreaming for years now and they haven't got it right yet. -Anthony
  19. Well I'll be at home streaming it on my 5S, so I'll do my best to give you guys play-by-play updates if you all would like. -Anthony
  20. So, my Charlotte Market pals with Android devices, I have noticed my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (the only Android device we have in our home) has recently switched back to connecting to EVDO Rev. A since at least last night. It used to be connecting to eHRPD but hasn't been for the past 12 hours or so. Anyone else been noticing this? And yes, it is in CDMA/LTE/EVDO mode, so it should connect to eHRPD like it normally has been. I know that when it is in CDMA/EVDO only mode, it wouldn't connect to eHRPD because there was no need to since it wouldn't be connecting to LTE. -Anthony
  21. AppleCare+ doesn't support, and I quote, "Loss, theft, or submersion in liquid." -Anthony
  22. Well I know that there is a Sprint tower over near Pharr Mill and Rocky River Rd, but as far as I know, B26 isn't activated on it. Frankly B26 will be our only saving grace when it comes to Sprint LTE in Harrisburg. There is Clearwire equipment on the water tower in between Robinson Church Road and Hickory Ridge Road on Rocky River Road, and there is also Clear equipment on that tower at Morehead and 49. Sprint should really consider adding NV equipment to those towers, because even if they only deploy B25 and EVDO 1900 on those towers, it would do wonders for this ever growing town! -Anthony
