    Saw this at the Las Posas park and ride in Camarillo. I've never seen a cell site on a trailer before. Also there are two light posts, one which you see in the back ground are those also cell sites ?

  2. This may not be anything. When I was having a substantial drain of battery life it turned out to be Google + being the culprit. When I did a fresh restore after the latest update, Google + was now active. I never really used it before. After disabling it battery life has returned to strong normal.

  3. My m8 h/k edition had the issue with stock texter not working. I switched to Text Secure which seemed to work for abort 2 weeks. Now i can't receive any texts, my texts are received though. Any suggestions? ? Thanks

  4. I just got off the phone with web sales, 8007774681.They would not take full payment. Would only sell on contract or Easy pay. My only guess is that they would try and stick you with the web discount ($320) if you left Sprint within 24 months. They were evasive when I asked about this possibility. Which could have been language barrier since they did seem from India by there accent. I'm confused. Also on more than one occasion in the call he asked what I planned on doing with the phone.

  5. Sorry if I sound stupid. Does this mean Sprint won't just take my money? They want it devide up into 24 payments? What is the logic? Easy pay isn't a contract is it... What am I missing? Sorry..

  6. Thanks for the positive encouragement with this.

    Makes me feel better about the choice.

     

    Any opinion on these

     

    I have 3 S2 total to replace. One for myself, I'm holding out for the Nexus 6. One for an older parent, I was looking at the Aquos Crystal. and the final one, the Nexus 5 for my wife.

    Sometimes Sprint, and Sprint store employees, make me want to bang my head on a wall.

     

    I visited the Sprint Store at the Esplanade in Oxnard last night wanting to pick up a cheap midrange Sharp Aquos Crystal to replace what I assume is an outdated, and somewhat broken Galaxy S2 (710). 

     

    After talking with the staff and asking to see the phone, the staff member basically talked me away from the phone. Saying my ancient S2 with wi-max and 3g were far superior than the new midrange Sharp tri-band phone.

     

    His reasoning were the local market has been down for an extended period due to network upgrades (with no timetable to come back) and that the 3g was superior on the s2 along with voice.

     

    He also told me that we were relying on a tower in Riverside (which I assume he meant Riverglen which is a golf course nearby in Oxnard).

    Any help out there how the LTE service actually is between Ventura and T.O..

     

    I spend the majority of my day in Camarillo and have never had a great signal.

     

    I also have checked the Sensorly maps and it's always lightest purple where ever I am, lol.

  8. How's the sound quality. Not the speakers, the non-existent ear piece I have read so negatively about. Reviewers seem to always be negative about budget phones, and that seems to be the big concern with this one. Also how is it connecting onto the network? Strong radio I am hoping...

     

    Coming from a Galaxy S2 this would have to be a giant step forward I would assume...

     

    Cheers and have a good one!
