I'd argue that this is even better than paying people to switch. By giving out a free year of service, they can spread the acquisition cost over that entire year instead of incurring the large one time cost of paying off a phone or contract. Plus, if people leave before the year of free service is up, Sprint actually saves money since they didn't make a large payout. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

850 refers to 850 CLR, aka Cellular 850. 850 CLR downlink is 869-894 MHz, uplink 824-849MHz. The name of the band doesn't refer to the actual frequency of the spectrum. Sprint has 800 ESMR, which is 862-869MHz downlink, 817-824MHz uplink. Verizon has the entire 22MHz 700C block on a nationwide basis, plus some B block in other places.

Open sourcing the project would be great. I'd love to contribute to SCP Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

SignalCheck uses the high level Java API for accessing cellular connection info. It's up to the manufacturer to properly the back end of the API that interfaces with the modem. They likely don't really care and just expose signal strength for the bar display. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Verizon EVDO roaming now?
EvanA replied to Wireless Junkie's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
I had issues with data roaming on Verizon in Indianapolis yesterday. I'm using a Nexus 5X. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk -

Besides the fact that this doesn't really matter at this point, it wouldn't have worked. There's no incentive for other carriers to just allow Sprint to suck up spectrum. They all have decent midband portfolios and were looking at 600MHz to bolster their low end. Furthermore, midband spectrum is very important in a cellular network because it is a good compromise between coverage area and capacity. Divesting midband would be a poor idea.

I had a very favorable experience with LG repair fixing my 5X bootloop. It took around 2 weeks in total. I chronicled my experience on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus5x/comments/5l66de/_/dbx1oim It seems to me that the issues and delays people experienced were due to lack of parts at LG in combination with the holiday season. Now it seems that LG has the parts on hand and is able to repair the phones in a timely manner. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

This is not a representation of the state of the spectrum auction; This is a demonstration application for ArcGIS's auction management products targeted at the bidders.

T-Mobile published an EOY 2017 expected coverage map today https://i.redd.it/03zpfb7hhy7y.jpg If it's anything like most of their coverage expansion, it will be poor quality with large site spacing. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

HPUE is an uplink improvement. It increases the transmit power of the device from 23dBm to 26dBm, which is a 2x increase. This expands the overall coverage of band 41 since uplink falloff dictates when the device can no longer make reliable connection. Downlink improvements come from 256QAM, MIMO, and beamforming.

Considering that the forward auction has only been hitting roughly $20B there will likely be several more reverse auctions before the reserve will be met. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk -

They're currently in the third stage reverse auction. You can track progress here: https://auctiondata.fcc.gov/public/projects/1000 Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk -
The universal profile officially launches November 17th. Google and Sprint have already implemented it and are launching early. From the release announcement: "Today, we’re excited to announce the next step in this initiative with our first carrier launch supporting the new universal RCS profile." They are using Google's Jibe infrastructure to support RCS communications with the universal profile. More about the jibe platform here: https://jibe.google.com/jibe-platform/
