  1. As others have said, rootmetrics still hasn't updated their app to support sprint triband devices, and it's been over a year. They don't seem interested in supporting their app. Sensorly seems to be the best, although they do have a few problems with their mapping. I.e. Sprint LTE mapped in Oklahoma where there is none.
  2. I had no problems with texts either at that time. Certainly not a nationwide outage.
  3. Goodbye 2014, hello 2015!
  4. My advice would be to never use satellite for internet unless it's your only option. The horrible ping and random slow speeds will give you headaches.
  5. This is a galaxy Note 4. The reason it's picking up LTE so fast, is because that B26 LTE is the only good Sprint signal it's seeing. When its roaming, it's desperate to find any Sprint service. In an area that has a weaker B26 or stronger 1x/EVDO, it will take the normal ~3 minutes or so to pick up LTE again.
  6. That's what I always thought. Areas where you should be able to hit peak speeds.
  7. ... Just look at the coverage map, it's obvious turbo isn't indicating just backhaul, as each site has a variable turbo coverage area within spark coverage.
  8. That's not entirely correct. Turbo coverage differs from spark coverage coming from the same cell site. There are patches of turbo coverage within spark coverage.
  9. I guess they finally did the math, and someone came to the realization it was too cheap? It's too bad, it was a compelling offer.
  10. Here's a 5 minute video I just took of what optimized B26 looks like at the edge of signal. It beats EVDO, and also rivals 1X. The "action" starts around 1:40.
  11. LTE just isn't as robust as CDMA. Properly configured 800 LTE has about the same reach as 1900 EVDO from my observations.
  12. The funny thing is since kit Kat, the single band Galaxy Note 3 properly reflects the LTE signal, even in LTE only mode. -120= 0 bars, -115= 1 bar, -110= 2 bars -105= 3 bars -97= 4 bars, -92= 5 bars, -85= 6 bars.
  13. I'm 95% sure this is the case. I'm not quite sure why it hasn't been fixed yet though. Maybe future Lolipop builds will have it corrected.
  14. I'm guessing it wasn't me. Wish I could have been here to experience the disappointment first hand!
  15. 1 trillion! Maybe we can eliminate the national debt by freeing up a 20x20 swath of sub 400MHz spectrum!
  16. I think speculation is sometime in 2015. I'm not sure how voice will be handled when roaming on LTE. ECSFB fallback to roaming providers? Or are we waiting for VoLTE?
  17. 1080p is great on the Nexus 5, but the 720 wasn't pleasant for me on the galaxy mega. I think 1440p is great for the phablets.
  18. -Minimum IP67 certified -Minumim LTE bands: 12/25/26/41 -3X carrier aggregation on B41 -Minimum screen size of 6", maximum of 7". -Minimum screen resolution of 1080P, maximum of 4k. -Micro SD card slot, or a minimum of 128GB internal storage. -Maximum price of US $900 Instant buy to whoever makes it.
