    I have no interest in anything higher than a retina screen. I don't want my battery life to suffer from a power sucking screen lol.

    Exactly. I think the retina screen still looks better than some android flagship screens.

    While I do agree and I am completely satisfactory of my Retina desplay, I do really like the screen on my friends' LG G2. Even though I can't see individual pixels on my 5S, his 1080p screen just looks amazing.

    It's only marginally higher, which means this is probably the screen resolution for the 4.7 inch device, with a ~359 PPI, which is slightly higher than the 5/5S/5C's PPI of ~329. Not much of an improvement, but it's still an imporovement.

    Softbank - New Sprint - Discussion

    My father and I had 2 very pleasant Sprint CS experiences today.

     

    The first was a problem we were seeing on My Sprint on the website where the site said we had a balance of -$128.25 (because my father paid the bill, then made another payment because he was going out of the country so he wanted to have credit on his account for when they charged us for the next months bill), so we had a credit of $128.25 because he paid more than what the next months bill was going to cost, but there was a message above the balance saying something along the lines of "You have a previous balance on your account, collection services may be initiated if the balance is not payed. Please pay the balance to avoid a service interruption." So we were wondering "how can there be a balance if we have credit on the account?" So we call CS and we were very politely talked to and the woman got her supervisor looking at it and they fixed it all up for us in less than 15 minutes, including hold times.

     

    Our next experience today was, since my father was out of the country a couple days ago, he couldn't use his iPhone 5S because it wasn't unlocked. So, we decided, now that he's home, we would call to have his (and hopefully mine and my sisters') phone unlocked, because we will be traveling internationally more often. We call them up, they ask for his name, his phone number, a contact number in case they need to contact him, his account PIN, and she asks what we would like to do. He says "I would like to unlock my phone" and the woman goes silent for about 5 seconds and she says "Okay, your phone is now unlocked on my end." She then asked what else we would like, and we asked if we could unlock my phone and my sisters phone, too. She said she wasn't sure if she could, because they're only supposed to be able to unlock 1 phone per account per year. So then she asked to hold on a moment, and a few seconds later she says my phone is now unlocked, and then a few more seconds later she says my sisters' phone is unlocked. Very simple!

     

    These experiences are MUCH better than what I have experienced before, and it was very refreshing to experience. I used to have my father avoid calling CS like the plague, but now it doesn't seem like too much of a hassle anymore. Keep it up, Sprint!

    Extremely annoying. I would rather resolve the issue then let it be as much as I don't want to do a restore.

    Am I correct that I have to go to iOS 7 and then back up again since I'm not a developer? Or is there some other way?

    Yes, if you aren't a registered developer or don't have your UDID registered on a UDID registration site, you will have to go back to iOS 7 and then update to iOS 8 from there. When you do the restore, I would suggest going to iOS 7, then restoring from a back up to put everything back on your phone, then update to iOS 8. I have yet to have a good experience when restoring from a back up once I am updated to iOS 8. Just a word of advice. Good Luck!

    Anyone else having issues with iCloud asking for sign in info over and over and over again. I logged out and then logged back in. Changed my password. Checked all the settings to make sure it looked right and nearly every time I unlock my phone it asks for my password again.

    Edit. This is on an iPhone 5s with beta 5 installed.

    It happened to me on one of the earlier beta versions, but stopped after I entered in my info a couple times. Hasn't happened since. Have you tried a soft reset?

    Everything 800mhz (1xA, LTE, coverage, timeline, etc)

    Do they have a time frame for the negotiations because the 1900 MHz is kinda crappy for penetrating walls, or maybe it is just because not all of the towers have been completed in my area. It seems when i step out side i can get a weak LTE signal but as soon as i step in i loose it. Maybe they are still working on the towers in my area. How reliable are the LTE maps on Sprint.com?

    The problem you are having is probably because not all the towers around you are upgraded. And Sprint's LTE maps are not accurate what-so-ever. If you want a good picture of what coverage is like around you, I suggest that you either use Sensorly, or think about becoming a sponsor. Becoming a sponsor helps keep the lights on at S4GRU, and you get TONS of priceless information, including, but no limited to, knowing the NV upgrade status and location of every single one of Sprint's Cell Sites. (Mods, remove this and shoot me a PM if this is giving too much info away). Best of luck to you! :)

    PRL Update while Roaming - iPhone 5

    in Apple/iPhone/iOS

    Posted

    I am not advocating the use of the prl just making it clear that it is there. I do understand it is primarily for smr, but there was a clear distinction between the sponsor and premier sponsor prl that the premier prl had extra "perks". Is it no longer S4GRU's policy to allow/condone the use of this prl?

    That PRL is completely different than what the OP is talking about. The PRL that the OP is talking about will make the device roam on Verizon all the time. The PRL you are talking about will allow a user to roam on Verizon EVDO in certain areas when they do not have native Sprint Coverage where they would otherwise be on Verizon 1x.

    PRL Update while Roaming - iPhone 5

    in Apple/iPhone/iOS

    Posted

    iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2. Carrier "Sprint 16" and PRL 51101.

     

    In the past I have been able to use the method of replacing carrier.prl in the sprint_lte_us carrier bundle folder, use the PRL push flag in carrier.plist, and with a few reboots I could get full time verizon 3g roaming with "prl 00001." 

     

    I am now visiting Alaska and am stuck on PRL 51101 with "extended" coverage and  1x data. I have tried every PRL I can find (11114, 11119, 53135, 00001) and I seem not to make any difference. After making the prl changes and after the last reboot I am stuck at no service. When checking phone info it will still say 51101.

     

    I have to restore a backup of the sprint_lte_us carrier bundle folder and then things will work again after a reboot.

     

    Any ideas? WIll the PRL update only work if there is native Sprint service around to start with? 

     

    When things are working with 51101 @ 1x speeds on "extended" I can do the ##update# and it say success.

     

    Any help appreciated, would just like 3g data while traveling.

    Like Josh said, we do not condone the use of Verizon PRL's. The "No Service" problem you are seeing is because you probably haven't installed the CommCenter (a part of iOS that allows you to freely modify your carrier bundle) patch for iOS 7. Without having that patch installed, any modification you do to your carrier bundle will result in "No Service" after a reboot and will not go away until you restore the device.
