  1. I thought I'd never say this but if Sprint doesn't show any progress by the end of this year. I may explore my options. AT&T is installing fiber in my neighborhood so they could be an option. I have a work line with them already. Also T-Mobile doesn't look too shabby my kids T-Mobile lines have LTE more than I do on Sprint but T-Mobile is terrible inside my house.

    After being with Sprint for NV 1 and 2...I switched to project Fi. I might end up switching to T-Mobile entirely for a family plan with the wife

    All around Jacksonville, T-Mobile is rock solid. I10 not so much outside the city

    Sprint hasn't been bad but lots of speed tests at 1mbps while T-Mobile has always been 15+.

    Just my experience

  2. That stinks. Might have to pop in my TMo sim then.

     

    Now, you mention hangout calls... Are you saying that as an FYI or does TMo not count Hangout call data against you?

    They both count hangouts data.

    Project Fi is unlimited calls through phone app, however the hangouts dialer will count against your data (it's a data stream)

  3. So I just bought a house and the neighbor has an airave...my phone marginally connects to it, then to the 3g/lte nearby. End result is really bad battery. Went there this weekend and battery stats where 25% cell signal searching.

    So going to have to install my own airave

     

     

    What's the status on airave and whitelist/blacklist? Was that ever fixed?

  4. I have mine set to sms. If I remember, it acted weird when I had it the other way.

    awesome, thanks so much, I think that must be the change.  I'll leave google messenger installed for group mms.  MMS seems to be working over googlevoice integration to my GF (Verizon iphone).  Shows up on my tablet, pc etc...awesome

     

    Thanks!!!

  5. Group mms will only go to your phone, not through gvoice/hangouts. The same goes for sending. You can't send mms from gvoice/hangouts.

    awesome, working good so far. One thing though.  Under hangouts settings-->SMS-->"Default SMS Messaging Account" did you set it to SMS or to your google email?

     

    When set to SMS it shows all my old texts, but don't want issues

  6. I have my Sprint # integrated. I did it about 2 weeks ago. Everything works just fine. Text msgs show up on all my android devices and I can text from my tablet or computer. I can also call from Hangouts using my Sprint #, which is pretty cool. Same for my tablet and computer. I can also receive calls on my tablet and computer.

    There's only one thing that I hope they may fix at some point. MMS msgs only go to my phone, and don't come through to all my devices. That would make it perfect.

    Hey thanks so much, I'll integrate and check it out!!

  7. Hey so is gvoice and sprint integration fixed? Does it still send a million text messages over and over again?

     

    Does it still work when your sprint number is your google voice number and you integrate into hangouts?

     

    (I read it works when you integrate with your google number replacing sprint and integrate into hangouts)

  8. I just had a telephone interview with Google, and the audio quality of their Google Voice call to my Sprint phone was abysmal. :(

    I just deintegrated.  I was having bad voice issues.  And for some reason, HD Voice wasnt working when talking to my father.  A shame, really like texting from my tablet integrated with hangouts

     

    It was working well with texting, as I set textra as default on phone, and disabled sms on phone hangouts (texts sent go over data but come to hangouts)  MMS sent to my phone appeared in textra

     

    Anyone get integration with hangouts replacing GV app to work well?

  9. When I send SMS in hangouts via Sprint, the thread in hangouts will still show two messages. One via Sprint and another via Google Voice, but the recipient doesn't get two messages. I do have it set to smart reply and it will automatically switch back to sending via Google Voice after the first Sprint SMS is sent. I was hoping this new update would fix that.

    I just integrated as i want to text from my tablet and work pc.  (sprint # as GV#)

    initially had the double text on my side but single text on receiving end.  Set the reply option to google voice, logged out of google voice app, and set the incoming call option in hangouts to unchecked.

    Everything seems to work great, no duplicates, and mms sends a link now, but i can live with that.

  10. I seem to have the complete opposite experience on the 4.4.4 radio. I feel my LTE scan time is too low and that it scans too frequently. That might seem like a good thing, but where my apartment happens to be, it tends to drop a very good 3G signal very often to look for an LTE signal. I see it happen at least once a day, and I don't check my phone that often at home. Luckily I use WiFi at home, so it's not a big deal, and when I'm out and about, I pretty much have LTE unless I'm at or around work, but the scan time has definitely decreased for me when compared to 4.4.3 and before.

    I would love that. 4.4.4 radio drops to 3g in areas where I have lte on. 15. ~110dbm

    I walk into my office on . 15 and I'll have lte but not on 4.4.4

    Scan time going back to lte in the conference room takes a while on 4.4.4

  11. I was able to get MMS to send on Sprint, but not receive using hangouts by turning off merged conversations. Using a third party app (I tried chomp sms) I was able to get both send/receive to work with WiFi off.

    Running L right now,chomp is working with MMS just fine...?
  12. Well that's good news. Thanks for the heads up, I might take a second crack at Android L and see if the fix is legit or not.

    I thought mms only didn't work with hangouts? Anyone try chomp sms?

    Was thinking of flashing

  13. They work, for instance the .15 works even with non ecsfb enabled b41/26. However they weren't specifically designed with spark capability in mind like the 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 radios were (and future ones of course).

    The .15 radio is definitely more sticky to LTE in my opinion. The. 16 radio seems to have the same reception but camps on 3g
  14. I changed global to lte and now this phone grabs 41 the same or better than my g2 or m8. I guess I'm happy. Don't know what changed but I back tracked the route when I didn't get 41, did a profile update and changed to LTE. Fixed. We'll see how b26 works

    I've been camping on 3g, it would just drop B26 which .15 got strong in my apt.  I changed from global to LTE mode (i didn't think that would work...but so far it's looking better!)

  15. At grande and old Jacksonville I was at -101dbm on b26. Was -92dbm with twice the performance on .15. The .13 radio only gave me 3-4 Mbps, and .15 had 15-20 download in the same spot. I will drive around to test it more

    I've been testing it and I seem to get about 5dBm less on the new modem when compared to flashing back to .15  Now is that worth it over proper band transitions?
