It was nice to see Masa admitting that at one point he was skeptical, but with the way Sprint has turned things around he's even more confident that when they initially acquired Sprint. It's s huge sign for consumers who actually stay informed.

Like I said, B25/B26 is already loaded. Unless 4t2r can magically produce more bandwidth, it won't help alleviate the under 1 Mbps some sectors currently get (and this is with a signal above -80).

You have an s5, might want to update your profile it still shows an s3...and that says a lot, Samsung phones from s5 and up and known for having some of the worst RF performance from the higher tier phones. With a at least decent rf performing phone and 8t8tr sites being fully optimized it does match b25, and helps b25/b26 significantly. There are numerous markets where this is reported, KC/STL/Chicago/Indiana.

 

Also lots of the capacity issues (aka speeds suck omg <5mbs) are people abusing the network, which Sprint is working on by implementing things like phasing out old plans with the unlimited for life guarantee.

If there really are two nexus devices this year, one an LG n5 successor and one Hawaei phablet to succeed the n6 I'll be interested to see how they handle naming them. If the 2015 'n5' is even 80% of the supposed specs then my household will be getting three of them this year.

Sprint needs additional low band spectrum for when they decided to go VOLTE. B26 as the sole 'voice' band to fall back on indoors won't be sufficient even if they density the network with key new towers.

 

Sprint cannot repurpose all of evdo and 1X carriers as soon as they make the push to VOLTE and even when they can start the process it is going to take time.

 

You're all thinking short term (>5 years), Masa and Marcelo are thinking long term (5-10). They want to be be the best wireless carrier, and they want to keep it that way.

mainly the uscc - revol spectrum acquisition markets . Minimum buffer for cdma is 10x10 mhz total. As long as that buffer exists everything else can be used for lte and is being refarmed at this moment.

Looking forward to the editorial/article that's coming, now I'm even happier to be in an area where USCC assets were acquired. Although the extra towers are quite nice too  .

Don't forget densifying the network with wide band b25 where they can, as Lilotimz has been redditors with. ????

That means your sister, on average (assuming she gets 10 hrs of sleep a day), sent/received 5.7 texts per minute for an entire month (31 days.)  That's a lot of texting!

That was at a period where she got more like 4-5 hours of sleep a day. Either way it was crazy, and I'm quite glad she isn't like that now for many reasons. 

 

Supposedly Myway plans are getting the ax soon, I'm glad I got mine when I did.

Honestly I'm starting to think it's market/vendor dependent, because my m9 has only gone from good to great signal wise. It's basically matching my n5 now, although on the ultra fringe areas the n5 still holds on and transfers from fringe signal to fringe signal better.

You guys think 6-7k a month is a lot? My sister has hit 150k in a month before and I'm regularly at 5-8k and I barely send out going texts.

At the end of the day it comes down to this, Sprint needs to get B26 everywhere and optimized. This is their biggest issue speeds are not.

Getting b41 on every site (or critical ones) satisfies the average consumer demand, shuts down what is probably the main complaint about Sprint and allows them to set up b26 on sites for distance instead of thinking about capacity in certain areas. In many places b26 is optimized, just not towards coverage.

 

For instance you can take the KC or STL areas (I've noticed it more in the STL areas). Nine months ago there would be multiple places with massive amounts of traffic (I'm referring to volume of consumers) that had b26 but it would be 2-5 dbm stronger than b25. As soon as b41 and 8t8r popped online b26 started to gradually cover more completely, and now 9 months later there's a 10-15 dbm stronger signal on b26 over 25 in the exact same spots.

Where is the best SID list? I'm having a fit trying to figure out what SID goes with what carrier beyond the normal Sprint/Verizon/USCC/Cricket type carriers. A lot of them seem to be registered in the names of law firms.

Digiblur actually did a break down of the changes in this prl (supposedly when asked). Here's the pastebin link if you'd like to cross reference your work.

First day on 5.1 and I'm pleased!

Dropping the 600kbs *possible* throttle would be idiotic. However sprint could word it quite a bit better.

 

Something more like:

"At Sprint we are reserving the right to potentially limit the ability to stream video to <whatever resolution the throttle is 'rated'> on our new value oriented plans. This right is reserved to keep our newly renovated network in peak performance for all our users and should not be utilized in everyday scenarios."

 

 

Which phone should I get? After seeing that CA is popping up I definitely want one that has CA capability*.

HTC One M9

 

 

So they brought back the my way plan that I currently have. I wonder what for? Not unless they are going the phase out the $50 and $60 unlimited. What it did notice is that this plan had the guarantee but it doesn't say for what services just unlimited. When I signed up it said for talk,text and data.

My Way plans haven't gone away. They just stopped pushing them when Framily and all of the no contract plans came into play.

That would be awesome for a family plan. Especially if you could cap your kids. Heh.

If you have access to the account on att you can set limits. I have a friend who gets his data shut off when he hits 2.2gbs used. I'd imagine all the carriers have something similar.

Anyone know how to verify and/or enable CA on the M9?

Prl/profile update should enable it. I'll browse through the engineering screens in a bit to see and update.

I miss my Moto X 2014. Although the Nexus 6 is working for me, the Moto X is not just better sized. It's a better device. I miss getting the time from my device without fumbling for a power button.

 

I would love a Moto X 2015 on Sprint that was unlocked and supported all the CCA/RRPP bands.

So a 2015 nexus 5? I'd take either/or because as great a phone as the m9 is I frankly am pining for a next generation n5.

 

 

We agree to disagree. As I read your screenshot (I have several similar ones), it has dropped into CDMA 1x800 - NOT LTE 800 -band 26.

Incorrect, the reason SignalclCheck Pro is showing 1x800 is showing up at the same time is a well known and documented bug related to lollipop and how it sends information to Signalcheck Pro.

 

This was a fully functional -126db b25 LTE signal. I was using it to browse reddit and stream Pandora at the time I took the screenshot.

For everyone who's had complaints about signal strength/dropping (including myself at times). I really can't say it anymore because this phone holds onto LTE just as aggressively as my n5 used to.

If anyone is looking for a Gunmetal Gray HTC One M9 on Sprint, please let me know. I have one that is in pristine condition that I would like to get rid of. Service (and EasyPay) is currently active. I have already paid one month of the EasyPay. Includes a Zagg InvisibleShield glass screen protector (with all original info so you can apply for the warranty). I am not asking for any money - if you would like the phone, it's yours! You just have to work with me through the process to transfer service and the EasyPay agreement into your name. I'll even through in $25 or $50 worth of Google Play credit for anyone who wants this phone!

Have you had this approved by the powers that be at S4GRU. Sales and promoting are normally not allowed, per the rules.

 

Might try swappa but I believe you have to have the device off your account.

It would also be great to show the band of the pci being displayed in neighbor list. Also, others should note I have seen pcis in the neighbor list from almost 50 miles away.

Neighbor cells are already displaying the maximum information that Android provides.

Being in a town of less than 5000 people, most who don't use sprint because they think it still sucks, I'm not seeing any slow down on 25/26 and 25 has been deployed here for 2 years. I still have 15mb downloads on 25 after 2 years of it being here. There are only 3 towers in a 25 mile radius around me, we aren't talking a large suburb here

This will change incredibly quickly. I live by 3 towns of 10k or less and speeds on b25 used to be right around 32mbs (real expected Max). In less than a year and a half speeds on b25 dropped to 2-5 mbs right before b26 got blanket deployed around here.

 

Out of friends, church members, and the general assorted people that we know around this area over 60% have already switched to sprint or have taken advantage of their carriers retention deals.

 

Also you would not believe the amount of people on other carriers who see me streaming twitch, while waiting on family members, and ask me how I can do it because they can't get pictures to load completely. It happens most frequently in STL county, and further in.

 

Edit: last statement was to emphasis that I meant the other carriers are going to shit, and b41 is a huge benefit.

How long does it usually take for Sprint to actually ship these routers? I ordered mine several days ago and haven't received word that it has shipped. The Sprint rep stated that Sprint would email when the order has been fulfilled.

I got mine in two days, shipped to almost the middle of no where.

I think it's too late because I already have it enabled. I created a new Google account so I have Snapchat back but no texts, gmail, or music still. Hopefully Google will come through and I can add my tablet number for verification so this doesn't happen again. They asked when my google account was created and a bunch of other questions I don't really know the exact answer to.

I went to sprint to see if they could help me undo my GV port or have any ideas and they had no idea what I was talking about. Typical.

 

I would lose all my photos, 7.99 all access rate, youtube videos, emails. That would suck!

Call into customer service. The should be able to give you the code/or a way around it if you can provide enough information to verify your account.
