    I'm going to try reinstalling the stock firmware. Today I woke up and the battery was dead, it was around 60% when I went to sleep. I charged it this morning and went shopping and it drained about 20% in an hour with about one minute of screen time. If this keeps up I'll have to go back to kit kat.

    I've been having standby battery issues. This is about 11 hours of charger with ten minutes if screen time and no other use. Battery stats, and GSAM don't show anything out of the ordinary and I also don't have any excessive wake locks. Has anyone else dealt with this since lollipop? At first battery life seemed to improve, but it was nowhere as good as kit Kat.

    Chromecast shouldn't make the phone get warm. Unless you were playing it on your phone and then mirroring the screen, once you start playback on Chromecast it takes over and you could even turn the device off. Or maybe if you left the screen on, but I don't see how casting would do anything intensive.

    Just enable mobile hot spot on your phone. What device are you using?

    We got 4, maybe 5 inches here in Syracuse, I'm glad we missed this storm. We normally get pounded every year but seem to be lucky this season.

    Wouldn't it add $120 in access fee's plus taxes when the promo is over with 8 lines?
  7. travismheim
    It does not support SVLTE.

    If your profile is accurate, you could use your Nexus 5. Possibly even with it having been purchased from T-Mobile now that Sprint is willing to add devices to the white list.

    Not that I agree with it, but I do understand an access fee for data only devices since you can have a family share with only tablets if you wanted. I just think it should all be the same access fee for data only devices.

    Nice, kind of makes me wonder why MBB devices end up with a $20 add on charge vs $10 for tablets if that's the case.
  11. travismheim
    Is hotspot also enabled for tablets attached to a family share plan?
  12. travismheim
    Is that even possible with agreements Sprint currently has with Apple? I don't see it ever happening.

    How common is the misaligned front facing camera problem? Two of my friends have it on their's, as well as the display at the store I work at. Neither of them had noticed it until I asked if they had a problem.

    That airave does eat up one of your available lines.

    That's the account spending limit. The fee is dropped if you enroll in auto pay and ebill. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

    $202 a month. 3 lines of framily, two unlimited data and spotify, one with the base 1GB. 3GB hotspot plan with $18 easy pay device, tablet with 25MB and a phone on easypay at $15.

    I don't really see a problem with the account spending limit. The fee gets waived if you enroll in autopay, and it allows people with lesser credit to establish postpaid service with less risk to Sprint. I started off in 2006 on the ASL program with a $150 deposit. After 12 months of on time payments the deposit was applied to my bill and ASL was removed at my request.

    The difference is roaming rates are much much higher than wholesale. Why do you think T-Mobile has been campaigning to get fair roaming rates?
  19. travismheim
    Its still the same thing. A MVNO buys capacity on the network and sells plans. If a MVNO had an unlimited plan, the light users are directly subsidizing the heavy users by paying the same rate plan but using far less network capacity. They couldn't afford everyone being a heavy user, just as Sprint and T-Mobile can't afford it either.
  20. travismheim
    Roaming and wholesale rates are vastly different and can not even be compared.
  21. travismheim
    Sprint already gets slammed for adding wholesale and not enough post paid subs every quarter because they are low profit. Light users subsidize heavy users, even on Sprint and T-Mobile post paid. They could not afford to offer their unlimited plans for the prices they have if everyone on the plan was a heavy user. Look at what happened to clear.
  22. travismheim
    Its not different. The light users in essence subsidize the heavy users. Wholesale costs are not likely as high as you think.
  23. travismheim
    That is still unlimited data. For every 15-20GB per month user on unlimited plans, there are hundreds if not thousands that use far less in the 1-5GB range. Besides, I doubt Google would have trouble affording it. Look at Google fiber, they offer far more than their competition at significantly cheaper prices.
  24. travismheim
    There are already MVNO's on Sprint that offer unlimited, I'm not sure about T-Mobile though. Why would Google be any different?
  25. travismheim
    Do you have anything to back that up? A MVNO can offer whatever they want to pay for. I don't know about T-Mobile, but Sprint is very open to wholesale business. You could become your own provider as a Sprint MVNO if you had the money.
