  1. I buy more phones than I need, and have both Sprint and T-Mobile service. S4GRU, I have a problem.
  2. Add me to the list seeing poor RF performance. Played with a normal S6, and particularly on B41, I'm seeing at least a 5dbm worse signal compared to my S5 and Note 4. Throughput is also reduced, with line of sight it was pulling ~40mbps where the S5 and N4 consistently managed ~65mbps. Although this is the snappiest phone I have used from Samsung, the weaker radio is a deal breaker. The S5 and N4 have no problems handing off between B41 sites here, but the weaker radio in the S6 causes it to drop to B25/B26 when moving between sites.
  3. I consistently have great experiences with ~-120dbm B41 signal on my note 4. Around 10 down/1 up in many areas. Just throwing it out there, I've never been stuck on an unusable B41 signal.
  4. Integrating Google voice and using hangouts for your calls will get you the simultaneous voice and data you are after on any device. Just be prepared for a few more dropped calls.
  5. As others have said, if it's a must integrate google voice and use hangouts for your calls.
  6. Thanks for posting this. Just checked and my lines are now showing the $5/month charge now too. After removing, it shows the option is free again. They need to get that fixed.
  7. I wonder if spamming this to Marcelo on twitter could bring the issue to light. Frankly I'm amazed no Sprint employees have noticed this and brought it forward yet.
  8. Is there something to prevent Softbank/Sprint jumping in and winning all of the 30/40MHz reserved spectrum?
  9. So if my phone is idling on 1X 1900, the network can switch it over to 1X 800 or vice versa (just like LTE)? Or is this load balancing only when a device is ready to drop LTE for a phone call?
  10. I didn't know the network could get a device to change bands on CDMA, I thought it was determined solely by the phone/PRL.
  11. I don't think there's anything in the contact about future upgrades. Sprint isn't obligated to provide future subsidies at all.
  12. It may just be cheaper to flood the nation with more cell sites than trying to win some 600MHz, depending on how aggressive ATT/VZN/DISH are.
  13. Try using the coverage tool on a 4k monitor, it's hilarious.
  14. My Note 4 goes straight back to B41 after phone calls most of the time, but sometimes I get placed on B25/B26. It varies based on what tower I'm connected to it seems.
  15. Turbo is probably where you'll hit peak speeds at, and regular spark is just B41 coverage.
  16. Man, US Cellular doesn't want to play ball.
  17. I think they should definitely sell excess spectrum in areas where they have more than 120Mhz.
