haha, you don't listen to R Kelly with your friends in the backseat?

The CSFB issues make it tough to stream music. Don't ask, but I was riding down the highway with a car full of people bumping some R Kelly, and Sprint cut off mid chorus line while I am trying to sing. Come on man, nobody wants to sing acapella to some R Kelly with a car full of dudes. That'd make a great Verizon commercial. "Don't sing acapella with a car full of dudes. Switch to Verizon."

Oh I see. Well that's good to know.

Recently got an S5 to accompany the Sprint Spark "launch" in Orlando. Have had some incredible speed tests, and some bad ones. But I've noticed that my phone doesn't always want to connect to LTE. I'll go through or be in an LTE area and it will stay on 3G until I go into airplane mode and back out. Is this happening for other people?

I just went to a Sprint Store west of I4 near Altamonte Springs to test a Galaxy S5 and see if I could get a Sprint Spark connection. Got a 1-3Mbps Mbps speed test so I don't believe it was using any of the other bands. The employees were hawking me while I was on the phone so I couldn't test everything I would have liked but needless to say data speeds were garbage -- as they normally are. Also, I wasn't sure if I had to do anything in particular to force it to connect to a certain band so I just left it on whatever it was connected to, which I'm pretty sure was the 1.9Ghz band. I only wish Sprint's CEO Dan Hesse would have put some of his $49 million salary into improving their network instead of laying off employees.

Sprint Spark goes all the way up to Sanford, apparently lol

Now this is interesting. I don't have a Triband device yet but from reading this forum it doesn't sound like Sprint Spark coverage in Orlando is even remotely operational. Am I wrong? The better question might be, is there any good reason to pay to upgrade my LTE but non Triband phone to a Triband?

At the current rate, do we think Orlando will be a launched Sprint Spark market in the next 3-6 months? Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Happy belated as well.

Sounds good, I'll just drop another $600 to upgrade from my paper weight S4. Stop telling me to quit complaining, what is this site for if a Sprint user can't be honest about the state of the network? I'm sick of people getting all defensive. Relax, I just stated my experience as Sprint customer who's using a premier phone on their network.

Sprint Spark rollout I'm referring to. I'm hoping that will be the saving grace. Because LTE coverage is still pretty unacceptable in Orlando in my opinion. Maybe I just live and work in the wrong areas of town. But even connected to LTE I probably average 1-2 Mbps on my S4. That's 3Gish speeds. Some areas of town are better, of course, but for the most part that's what it's been, especially indoors.
-
Hmm. I don't know what to think of Sprint and the rollout anymore. Have no remote idea when it'll be launched in Orlando. Not the slightest clue.
-
That's very unfortunate.
-
Do we know if the new Sprint Spark tech is going to ever support simultaneous voice/data connections? As of right now it does not allow you to use data while on the phone. Currently, while on LTE you can use data and voice on say, a GS4.

I'm confused on the order with which they are doing this rollout. Are they going to deploy 2.5Ghz then 800Mhz? Are they going to be rolling out both 2.5Ghz/800Mhz, hence Sprint Spark at the same time? Since we've already had a speed test with 2.5Ghz, does that mean 2.5Ghz is currently being rolled out around town first? Also, in other markets, how long from when they started rolling out their 800Mhz band did they launch Sprint Spark in those markets?
