Not going to happen, so you guys might as well stop wishing. Or you can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see what gets filled first.

Sprint isn't going to allow garbage wifi connections ruin the sparkling reputation their voice service has earned. I've made calls over my wifi, which is really fast and low latency, and they were garbage. If people want to call on wifi, there are apps to allow it, no reason for sprint to put their name on substandard voip. Here is a speed test of my wifi for reference:

Hows the battery life? Can you access qooqle plae on that?

What Sprint desperately needs to do is shut down the iden network. If that means losing some subs... so be it. There hasn't been enough subs on that platform to make it profitable in years. If they can make an extra $10 a month to give subscribers a far slower and less reliable PTT than iden, great. I never cared about PTT when I had Nextel, nor when I had the renegade. I care not about it today, it is nothing more a loud, annoying text message in my opinion.

I read the Nexus 4 was short on battery. Imagine if it had LTE on it as well... I'd still get it though...

Wait, east metro, and you have a packers logo? SMH

Ummmm lol prulled prok is not my favorite sandwich... :-)

True. The funny thing about the CM ROMs for devices running a forked (sense, touchwiz, motoblur, LG, etc) version of Android is that by the time the ROM finally gets everything working and is starting to see some decent polish, bam, new android version drops, and CM moves on to the new AOSP. Most of the "drivers" carry over, but they still spin their wheels integrating all the new features. This is only an issue if you are on a forked version of android though as the Nexus line has AOSP running smoothly nearly the minute it drops. P.S. my jelly bean stock keyboard autocorrected nexus to Jesus... Therefore, if you want AOSP, or ROMs running smoothly on the latest Android software, you are MUCH better off with a Nexus phone/tablet than a forked OS. You lose a little of the glitz that the OEMs throw on their flagship models, and the ability to use a microSD, but the OS runs smooth as silk with everything working as it should.

Me? I read every post on this site... That's my job.

Pretty much why I will never buy a non AOSP device again...

I heard there was a rumor that there was a rumor that there was a memo that said there might be an upgrade to the rumor generator. My general rule is to believe half of official memos and no rumors.

You lost WiMax connectability when you upgraded to the GS3. Sprint has no dual 4G phones. Just WiMax or LTE. The only gadget they put out that was capable of both is the Sprint 4G LTE Tri-Fi Hotspot

I know he has, I saw the video... http://www.jibjab.com/view/LdRPjUgoS6KrId_P_1QW6A

Clevelanders are very proud of that point :-)

Sprint owns Virgin

Since when is more customers a bad thing? Maybe Verizon or ATT should boot 30 million of their customers. Seriously though, these are small potatoes... Ting is the largest, and they are tiny.

Did he already jump to another device? He is still keeping up with the (Verizon) GS3 development. Well... I see he returned the Note 2 and returned to the GS3

I think the reference is eluding to the fact that once more people are using LTE, an underused EV-DO carrier or two can be taken off line and the spectrum repourposed to additional LTE carriers.

I'm 99.9% positive that nobody in here is saying anything about PUBLIC WiFi. We won't see major network improvements and capabilities for another decade. Carriers will throw more spectrum at the problem, but there will be a spectrum crunch before we see the next generation of wireless airlinks, unless carriers start implementing small cells... That, however, is very unlikely. You are not even on the right track. Not even close... You can keep believing that LTE has Godly capabilities, but it doesn't. It will be overwhelmed. This is why Sprint already has plans to start throwing gobs of spectrum at their towers. Verizon is already getting overloaded with twice the spectrum that Sprint is initially deploying. Wake up!

Just to add this into the discussion, Sprint's backhaul contracts specified "scalable" backhaul. For comparison, Charter offers cable internet in my area, so they offer a basic 5mbps download speed, then you can scale up your connection all the way to 100mbps download speeds. This is what Sprint specified, so that when they add 800mhz LTE, additional 1900 mhz LTE carriers, clearwire LTE hotspots, microwave airlinks to other cell sites et cetera, they contact the provider and it gets bumped up. No waiting months for additional T1 lines to be delivered as before...

I voted even though I don't have a note, I would have rooted and been running cleanrom on it immediately because Scott (different Scott) is one of the best developers out there IMHO...
