    I thought I remember reading that unlocking would be automatic once required conditions were met.

    The dialer. However if you aren't comfortable messing with that stuff I would advise avoiding the service menu. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    It's been a while since I read about EVDO Rev B. Wasn't it basically carrier aggregation for EVDO?

    Stop worrying about signal percentage, throughput, site density and everything else. If it works where you need it to and you like the price you pay for the service then stick with it. So many people complain about what band they are connected to, or how many signal bars you have, or only getting 20mbps instead of 50mbps. The only important thing is, does it work where and when you need it to.

    Dogs, your television and computer are terrible analogies. Most (almost all of them) are secured sites with locked fencing around them. Why pay for air conditioning when you don't have to? I'm sure there have been people retarded enough to try and steal equipment from sites but stupid shit happens all the time. Even if you manage to remove a base station or radio head from a site without getting caught, what are you going to do with it? What's stopping some one from breaking into the building and stealing the equipment anyway?

    I read what you wrote, I don't know anything about T-Mobile base station equipment. However I do know about Sprint, their stuff is meant to be outside. It lowers operating expenses by not having it in an air conditioned hut. The radios and everything else is cooled by ambient air. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

    I never said they shouldn't participate in the auction. 600mhz spectrum won't be usable for a long time, at least four years from now assuming they can win enough for any meaningful deployment. They are still working on finishing bringing LTE to sites and are about to start on their first network expansion in a long time. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

    The NV base stations don't need to be inside air conditioned hut's, so why put them in one?

    Voted. Your service plans look great, I wish there were more companies like you to provide service to other rural area's that can't get broadband.

    Just say you need to manually program the phone, they will give you the MSL along with the steps required. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Would the combined company pass the spectrum screen without needing to divest any? Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

    It is correct to show only LTE or CDMA on the nexus 6, but not both at the same time. My guess would be a bug in CM, but it could also be something with signalcheck and its interpretation of data from Android. I've seen others post about that issue before, I just don't recall what page it was on. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Its a bug if its showing LTE and 1x at the same time on the nexus 6, its not a SVLTE device. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

    I don't see it being common. Look at HTC and Apple, both opted for a 1080p display on their flagship phones instead of bumping it up. Both displays look amazing, higher resolution isn't necessarily better. Think of all that extra GPU power required to power that display, and the larger battery needed to accommodate the higher power requirements. For some of the high power users, what are you doing to use that much mobile data? I'm not trying to call anyone out, but I just want to understand how you are using that much data in a manner that does not violate the terms of service. I still don't see it being possible to average that much data use unless you don't have a home ISP or travel for work (business, trucking etc).

    I just don't see using 40, 50, 60+GB in one month unless you don't have a home ISP or are on the road 24/7. That is a lot of data, even for streaming video. I'm surprised you keep bringing up streaming 4k. What phone screen supports that resolution? The highest that comes to mind is 2560x1440p which is far from UHD/4k's 3820x2160/4096 x 2160. Where can you sit for hours on end each day streaming that much video where WiFi isn't available? How does your battery in your handset even last that long?

    There is no 800 LTE live in Syracuse yet just 1x, even though they are allowed to and able to broadcast it.

    I always assumed the phone didn't show the information because it's Verizon. I don't know why toggling the network mode to LTE/GSM/UMTS and back to Global made the band/gci/pci/tac show in the main app screen when it normally does not. It stays like that until the phone is restarted. Is there anything I can log from the phone that might help you figure it out?

    What settings are you using? I did standard install with everything defaulted on (location, google now etc) and I'm having abysmal battery life. The only other apps I downloaded besides the gapp updates were signal check pro, Tapatalk and inbox. This is 56 minutes screen on time. The only way I ever got any decent battery life on 5.x was by disabling location, google location service, google now, OK google from any screen and android device manager while using xposed and greenify to keep all my apps from causing wake locks.

    I got it working by deleting and re signing into my google account. It must have been an error when initially trying to sync but it works fine now.

    My contacts don't work on M, not sure if others are having the same problem. I can still use Google now to call or create new texts by OK google call/text name, but its a little annoying not having contacts listed.

    I think Sprint was smart to modify its tos on new plans to include video streaming may be limited to 1mbps when they did. If streaming UHD content becomes the norm on phones, I can see other carriers following in Sprint's footsteps. What I would like to see is the ability to cache video for offline use similar to how Spotify allows it with music. It's already available for Google Play, getting Netflix and others onboard could go a long way toward solving the problem.
  23. travismheim
    Yes, even if it is not white listed there is a process to have it added.

    The dark theme in developer options seems nice, also there is a setting to keep cellular data active to allow fast switching of networks from wifi. SignalCheck Pro seems to work fine on M.

    Developer preview image for Android M is up, going to try installing it later this evening. https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html
