    AWS-3 Auction Intermediate Results

    in General Topics

    Posted

    The auction looks amusing,  maybe tmo and dish will push up pricing to try and hurt the big two enough to slow them in the 600MHz auction?  It will be interesting to see who ends up with what! 

     

    I doubt the big two would slow down in any auction. Instead they will just charge more to make up for increased spectrum costs.

    Wow! I hope that come back to bite them. I guess worse case att and Verizon will end up spending more than they wanted.

    Threw an /s tag in there- I have no clue if T-Mobile is doing the bidding, my joke didn't seem to make it through the Internet's.

    Turns out it's little old T-Mobile driving up the prices, in an attempt to troll the big two. I can just imagine Legere tweeting about it... "@Verizon @AT&T U Mad Bros?!? Frustrated yet? #Uncarrier #Attention #TMOrocks"

    China 3G and LTE Networks

    in International Networks

    Posted

    I spent the summer in China with my Sprint LG G2 which was unlocked for international use. I also had a hack which allowed me to use the Phone Info app (which allows you to select LTE/EvDo/CDMA, WCDMA/GSM, LTE/WCDMA/GSM, etc). That being said, even though I was able to get HSPA+ using my China Unicom SIM card, I was never able to connect to LTE, I also tried an LTE enabled China Mobile 4G SIM card, and wasn’t able to connect then either.

     

    Even in LTE only mode?

    HD Sprint Coverage Maps

    http://srv.so/CoverageMaps/sprint/index.php here you guys go. It's not all that pretty but it works. :)

     

    Not working for me on chrome, it's only producing a 420 x 315 image. :(

     

    I noticed Sprint holds the first set of spark/turbo images in these directories:

    http://coverage.sprint.com/MapTile/SparkDataMap/Tiles/spark_data/14/

    http://coverage.sprint.com/MapTile/OverlayMap/Tiles/Overlay/14/

     

    This is way beyond me, but maybe you would know. Is there a way to download (all?) files from the directory, even if you don't know the file names?

    With Sprint maps you need to zoom in to the best and fair levels. At the zoomed out levels it shows the combined of all signals, which is greatly inaccurate. Zoomed in and looking at Best coverage actually produces pretty accurate signal coverage to expect. I have been pretty impressed in most areas how accurate the Best coverage is.

    I agree with you. One example I have though is River City Market place near the Jacksonville airport shows turbo Spark coverage. Whenever I go there only band I connect to band 25. It gets so bogged down I get kicked to 3g without ever connecting to band 41. In fact I've never connected to band 41 at this location even though the maps show coverage. Even when outside.

    There are some areas around Houston that show Spark coverage, but not even 1X is available outside.

    The coverage maps are really just Sprint guessing, and when in doubt they guess in their favor I suppose.

     

    Even if B41 doesn't reach, they still might show it yellow because nearby B41 helps offload B25/B26. So even on B25/B26, you'll  have higher speeds compared to no B41 available in the area.

    Thank you so much!!! How do you compile images like these? I always wanted topstitch multiple images together but I never could.

     

    With some HTML editing, I was able to view the Sprint coverage map nearly full screen in my browser. I went in and changed nearly every resolution I saw to 4k, and removed images that were in the way. It was a headache.

     

    Then I stitched a few screenshots together.

    Google Nexus 6 by Motorola (Was "Nexus X talk leaked?")

    lmao

     

    So this article I read earlier today states that the reason the nexus 6 was out so quickly is because the majority of the purchases was made previously by the carriers thus depleting the amount Google had in stock to sell. Whether true or not, it probably makes sense.

    They shouldn't have listed it at all if they only had 50 units left...

    Well, my compliments to Google on an Exemplary Pre-Order Launch Day.  As AJ pointed out, all 4 units were sold!  Marvelous!

     

    How does a pre-order sell out? I must not understand what the term pre-order means. I thought a pre-order was pre-paying for something knowing it's not available yet.

     

    Were there so many pre-orders that Google was concerned about fulfilling them all during the device's lifespan? If not, then shouldn't the orders continue, just with longer and longer ETA's?

     

    I'm not convinced the 100 second window people were able to pay in was the launch...
