  1. What is the allure of LTE only mode for you? It's not like you get camped on evdo when LTE is readily available for long. I'm glad both my hotspot and tablet are cdma2000/lte capable, the coverage area is much much larger.
  2. When Sprint offered the free Spotify premium trial is when I switched to web/streaming over radio. Even though I have unlimited data I cache most of my playlists for offline use in the app. The only time I ever use a radio is in my work truck and only because it doesn't have an aux input.

  3. Did anyone else notice Google will let you buy a nexus 6 for this with their own version of easy pay? If you need a new Nexus 6 to use with Project Fi, you can buy one direct from us when you sign up. You can select the "Midnight Blue" Nexus 6 in two storage sizes—32GB ($649) and 64GB ($699), plus applicable taxes, with two ways to pay: all at once or over 24 months. If you choose to pay for your Nexus 6 over 24 months, it is $27.04/month for the 32GB option and $29.12/month for the 64GB option. There's no interest or fees. However, a credit check is required to be eligible for this pricing.
  4. My Nexus 5 feels just as fast as the day I bought it in February 2014. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk
  5. WiFi always shows as on in the battery menu for me regardless of it being turned on or off. I also keep scanning always available off.
  6. They also have a longer GPS antenna cord available if the included one is too short. It's about double what was included, just have to call and ask for it.
  7. Maybe try calling the store from outside so they can experience the low volume issue themselves. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  8. B41 is live around NBT bank stadium for the chiefs home opener. Near sell out crowd and its cruising along at 15mbps with the mall right down the street. Second test down is B25 which while slower still works. I wonder how long before Syracuse is a launched spark market, its made such a big difference here. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  9. One of my lines shows that as 0, while the other two show it as $5. All three are on Framily.
  10. Evdo isn't being deployed on 800, just LTE and 1x. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  11. WiFi calling on iOS still uses the Sprint network for SMS and MMS, that's reason enough to keep the airave until they get that solved. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  12. Sprint and T-Mobile use a different implementation of WiFi calling at the core.
  13. I wonder how that works using custom prls. I've messed around with a few that weren't based on a Sprint prl originally and LTE still worked fine on my nexus 5. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    LG G3

    Battery life on lollipop has tanked on every device my family has (nexus 5, HTC one m7, HTC one m8, Verizon lg g2). Even my friends devices that have upgraded to lollipop (att HTC one m7, Samsung galaxy s5) have experienced the same thing. At first I thought it was my nexus 5, but then they all were experiencing the same thing. I flashed back to 4.4.4 and I was back to 5+ days on battery on the n5 with light use. I'm hoping its fixed in 5.1.1, but overall project Volta has failed miserably IMO. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  15. PRL on its own has nothing to do with LTE. However, some phones had an LTE available file that was stored with records of where the handset had previously connected to LTE. I wonder if the carrier bundle has something similar. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  16. I've found an additional site with b25 LTE near my home in Fairmount/camillus area. I noticed it last week, I'm able to hold LTE going into my basement now. Also found LTE in jamesville around Robbie Ts pizza. I haven't had a chance to look at the site that covers the area, but it was a GMO a few months ago. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  17. 1X is 3G, I'm not sure if the iPhone reports them differently. I know in lollipop, android stopped showing 1X separately. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  18. If they are giving effected customers a new device, that is a great. Sprint was going to do something similar by those effected by the wimax shutdown.
  19. I would find it more likely that T-Mobile customers would hold onto older devices longer than other carriers because of the lack of subsidies. "Free" upgrades are a great way to move subscribers to newer handsets, but if they have to pay extra there are many people that will hold onto older phones until they no longer work.
  20. Lots of people have older phones. Reporting about it is another story, but it likely would have made its way to the public if they were indeed contacting customers well in advance. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  21. Samsung, Apple, HTC and anyone else making these phones could easily improve durability by making the phones a little thicker. Side effect would include the ability to use a larger battery. I'll never understand the quest for a razor thin phone. I pulled out my OG EVO and even with as thick as that thing is, it felt nice in my hand. Sure its nice if you use a bulky case, but I would trade better durability and much better battery life over a super slim handset any day. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  22. I've worked in retail for a long time, but until I was told I had no idea what a SKU is. Saying some one should be fired because they didn't know is extreme. What is the purpose of this thread? Were they not able to order your phone? If you're just complaining, you would be best to direct it to Sprint. You need to accept the fact that every launch of every product will not go buttery smooth. Shit happens, deal with it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  23. Not everyone is going to know what a SKU is, and harping on them for something that is just launching isn't going to help. You could have easily ordered it online (or through telesales) yourself and saved any hassle. As far as device purchases, Sprint is pretty good. The only thing I wish they had the option of was in store pick up with online easy pay sales.
