    You can already test with a burner phone number, if you like the service you can have your old number ported over your new line. A better trial without costs/fees, or a $700 hold on your credit card like T-Mobile does would be nice. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    If there are no more delays, 600mhz should be usable around 2020. If Sprint can't finish their 800 deployment by then barring some random ibez issues they deserve to fail and having participated in the auction likely won't have made a difference at that point.

    It can also be relieved by finishing deployment of the low band spectrum they already have and densifying the network, both of which they are actively working on. Both which will likely be finished before 600mhz can even be used. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk

    Yes, but how much? How will the stations be dealt with that get moved into the wireless band? I think that's more what he was getting at. They need the low band spectrum, but also need to get a return on their investment. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk

    I think he was spot on in saying they may be priced out of the auction depending how the rules end up. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk

    I used to do the same thing. It works very well, but in my area LTE coverage outside the city is nonexistent for the most part. The lack of HD voice is disappointing for me being integrated, but the advantages far outweigh that IMO. Hopefully Google will be able to support HD voice at some point.

    Your phone would have to scan LTE, which unless I'm mistaken would require dropping the evdo connection (on single radio path handsets) to do which is why it won't go back to LTE during an active data session.

    You could put your phone in LTE only mode, you would lose SMS and calls though. You can sort of work around that by using google voice integration and the hangouts dialer for data calls only but I wouldn't recommend it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Do you mean disable evdo? I'm not sure why you would want to do that, you won't get back on LTE any faster. Besides, you would still have "3G" data from 1x when you lose LTE. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    When I tried T-Mobile a few weeks ago, I would usually go from LTE to GSM or no service. I rarely ever saw hspa. LTE was pretty fast, but if I lost it data was unusable. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    No apple care. The screen was also cracked from when we tried bending it back. He only had it a little while before it happened. I fully expected them to tell him too bad, but they replaced it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    When he had his replaced, he walked in without an appointment and they replaced it no questions asked. Its one of the reasons I'm really considering switching to an iPhone, Apple's customer service seems top notch. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

    Its not specific to T-Mobile. I get that on my nexus when I pull the Sim, or any old deactivated phone. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

    My friends iPhone 6 was bent very early on and apple replaced it for him, its worth a shot. He also kept his in his front pocket. It was around when all that news about bending was coming out. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Before I bought my evo LTE I had wanted to try windows phone but sprint didn't really carry any. Now it would be harder to switch since I am entrenched in the google ecosystem but I would still be willing to try it out. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk

    I'm not sure if this has been asked before, this thread is getting pretty big. Have you considered adding a WiFi notification option to the status bar, similar to what you have for cellular technologies?

    If you're referring to TWRP Manager, that patch applies to phones without an external SD card as well. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk

    At least you can now get tickets opened for band 41 problems. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

    When my sister takes a call on her m7, it sounds garbled and like static. If she switches it to speaker, it works like normal and the call is clear. Anyone have anything like this happen? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Neither my sister or friend on Sprint is integrated, just me. First time I saw this was Saturday, I wonder if 5.1 broke something. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

    If I try to send MMS via google voice to my sisters sprint phone I get a SMS reply about incorrect country code and the message never sends. If I change it to send via carrier number it will go through just fine. I can send MMS via google voice to my friends at&t phone and it will go through, also works sending to a Verizon number. I called customer care and they had no idea and suggested I contact Google. Has any of you ever had this happen? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    It could also be the network wasn't as utilized, or there happened to be less interference or many other things. The best way to tell is look at the signal you're receiving. 5.1 had some changes to the signal bars as well, it shows more bars for the same signal. Anything better than -100 rsrp on LTE is showing full signal on my nexus 5.

    It still works that way unfortunately.

    I read through that a little while ago. Did you set up your own MVNO or something?

    Aren't unlimited Sprint hotspot plans limited to corporate liable accounts with a credit union?
