This is sad news.

Huh? Phone carrier decides not to meter for certain traffic and that has something to do with net neutrality?
I have to pay for more high speed data if I want to stream my music from a non authorized T-mobile source, such as from a computer at home. Giving unrestricted access to certain things on the Internet violates the spirit of Net Neutrality, in my opinion.

To be fair. I don't use sensorly anymore, and none of the major providers have referenced it as of recent. Root metrics appears to be the major player that is recognized.
Rootmetrics shows the same LTE coverage.

T-Mobile LTE coverage right now:
When it starts showing up on crowd sourced maps, then I'll believe.

Well, you're welcome to do that as long as it is within a tethering allowance. If you take measures to subvert that and pass off such usage as smartphone usage, then Sprint has the right to lay the smack down.
Sprint doesn't require a tethering allowance to use MHL on our devices.

I have noticed there is a new bug (and apparently this affects other carrier N4s as well) that when your battery drops to sub 20% the phone can just shut off way before 0%
I think that's just the battery starting to crap out.

FYI, Sprint LG G3 is $180 on EasyPay.

That is dirt cheap.

If Sprint doesn't participate in the 600MHz auction, that means T-Mobile gets to walk away with 30MHz on the cheap. Sprint needs to bid to also keep it out of T-Mobile's hands.

In the latest iteration, customers can use 22GB of data during a monthly billing period without any speed reductions. After that, "speed reductions will occur only when the customer is using his or her device at times and in areas where there is network congestion and only for the remainder of the current billing cycle," AT&T says.
I guess they wanted to match T-Mobile?

If they both work the same for you, choose whichever is cheapest. If they're about the same cost, I'd lean towards not supporting the Death Star.

Yeah because eCSFB drops back onto CDMA/HSPA+ that's essentially coming from the same macro, we're talking about the same thing on a site with no legacy network alongside it that would probably have to scan for another network to roam on.
Text to 911 still isn't a big thing, and who has the time to text an emergency when they could scream on a phone and let A-GPS give operators a rundown of the where and when? Besides, most normal people would freak out if they see full bars, can't make an emergency call, and if they survive the situation, sue the hell out of T-Mobile. For T-Mobile, they're better off releasing themselves of any reliability/negligence in those cases.
When connected to a Clearwire LTE site out of Sprint 1X range, placing a call immediately puts me on Verizon 1X. This is a software issue one way or another.
I don't see how T-Mobile would be liable for providing only LTE services on 700MHz, so I doubt suing would get you anywhere.
The case of the Clearwire LTE site I mentioned above in Houston is the exact same senerio as the theoretical T-Mobile subscriber would be in. Only LTE available from the native provider. If Verizon wasn't on the same tower, I would be left with LTE from Clearwire with no voice fallback.

That would take a lot of time which one probably won't have in a dire situation, and it's totally possible there is no GSM/HSPA signal in a given place. T-Mobile made the right call. Where they made the wrong call was to build B12 only sites to expand coverage, they need HSPA+ and B4 on those sites as well. Other than that, everything falls on the device manufacturer.
It would not take a lot of time. Any single path LTE device already does this exact thing. It just seems to be a software issue preventing 911 calls on ATT/others when connected to T-Mobile LTE. And if there is no signal besides the stray 700MHz, then you should still have the ability to send a text or have data capabilities to retrieve information, rather than have a big red X.
-
It seems like a software issue really. When dialing 911, software should know to kick off of LTE and scan for ANY available GSM/HSPA signal.

If Sprint does go with B25+B41, it would be nice to see them adjust the TDD ratio even further for more downlink capacity.

Since this is a discussion thread, I'm just going to say that I wish my phone had a Sprint logo on it. Only so I could help promote the company. Also because I like the logo. What are your thoughts?
I prefer how Sprint's doing it now, leaving phones close to stock from the manufacturer.

One of the commenters gives the back story. Apparently one of the homeless shelters in NYC took him in, enabled him to be their IT Coordinator once he passed those, then he became a troll online, first for HTC/Sprint then Samsung/T-Mobile. Just an odd story all around.

Well okay then. Just when I think the world couldn't get any more strange.

I have not quite figure out how T-Mobile decide where to allow you to roam. In their coverage map, some area they will allow to roam on AT&T but not in some other area. I couldn't quite figure out their logic why not allow AT&T roaming in all area where they don't have coverage.
To save on roaming costs, they don't offer nationwide roaming on ATT.

It is interesting.. All of the people complaining about the new Note and saying goodbye to Samsung, means they didn't really use the S-Pen much. There really isn't anything comparable.
I have the Note 4, upgrading isn't an option due to contract. As cool as the pen is, I don't use it much.

I like the S-pen, I'm using it now in fact to look at the NV sites completed map.
The removal of the SD card slot isn't a dealbreaker, it just makes what was looking like a sidegrade, now seem like a downgrade from the Note 4. I prefer a plastic body as well for the better reception and durability. It feels like it has less features than it's predecessor, so it isn't a very compelling buy.

I think I might leave the Note line this year. The new Huawei Nexus might tempt me.

How about Sprint BRS?
Personally I'm fond of Softbank, but I understand it doesn't sound cellular at all.

I definitely do not like the idea of Sprint selling any of its band 41 for extra PCS. However, if Sprint were to get enough 600mhz at the spectrum auction, they could eventually sell 800mhz for extra PCS.
Masa Son really seems intent on having an amazing band 41 network here in the U.S., which of course I support. They need all of the band 41 spectrum they have for future proofing. Now, while 800mhz spectrum is very important lowband spectrum and the very last spectrum they'd ever want to sell, they could use it for more PCS, if they end up with plenty of 600mhz spectrum, as I'm hoping they do.
800MHz has better propagation than PCS, so I don't know why they'd make a backwards trade like that. Not to mention that would throw all current triband phones under the bus.

Never? Poppycock. Maybe, maybe not.
VZW's PCS holdings are the least important of its entire spectrum portfolio. Across most markets, VZW has around 10 MHz (5 MHz FDD) of PCS. Not that much.
Mostly in exceptional markets -- New York, Dallas, Miami, etc. -- where it holds no Cellular spectrum or has accumulated significant PCS capacity spectrum does VZW have great swaths of contiguous PCS spectrum that are truly valuable for LTE.

Didn't realize Verizon had such little, I thought they had ~20MHz.
