  1. That's great news too, I've lost a good bit since I dove on Sprint stock at $4.90 a share...And shortly after I watched it plummet. Actually bought even more when it hit $3.89, thought it was finished dropping but it still came down even more. Hope to see it back around $5.50. But I'm not really sorting it either. Sorting = shorting (Edited)
  2. What bands in the G4 will be the more popular? Who is band 12 and where? And the other bands, which of them might I see in rural central Alabama or in nearby areas?
  3. Has anyone noticed the G3 and G4 batteries are the same size, have same prong placement, and the only difference is the G4 is 11.6Wh and the G3 is 11.4Wh. Both are 3000mAh, both are 3.8v. Actually the G4 is 3.85v and he is 3.8v, not enough difference to really be negligible to the operation of the phone if you put a G3 b battery in the G4. My wife and I both got the G4, and both got the battery and leather back promo, plus I had the G3, so between me and her, with our g4 batteries coming in yesterday, we have 5 batteries and 3 charging cradles...
  4. Been using the g4 since before my trip to McComb / Slidell / Tylertown / north shore... I'd say it done very well in performance..especially in comparison to the same trip a year ago with the g3. I'm actually impressed, and I see similar performance from the g4 and galaxy tab s 10.5" when they are side by side.
  5. "You're gonna love my nuts" ..I saw a thing where that pun was purely intended, I think world's dumbest or something where Vince was on the show.
  6. What's the ???? star in the notifications? http://imgur.com/J62Qecb
  7. It looks like the G4 does pretty good on C-spire 3G.
  8. I see the low price as buy time, though I wish Muppet could be held accountable for his {adjective}, {adjective}, {adjective} of Sprint stock. (Edit) Shareholder here too, though the recent decline only hit me for around $700 in losses. I fully plan to purchase another (several hundred) shares while the price is skimming.
  9. In Alabama, the news just mentioned Chicago weather and how bad it was, plus showed a photo that was tweeted . Said 100 flights cancelled at O'hare and trains stopping on track due to 80mph wind and golf ball size hail
  10. I'll be heading to Louisiana / and staying 5 days in McComb, MS tomorrow (Monday). Tomorrow night, in Slidell, I know I'll have great service on LTE...it's McComb I'm worried about -all C-Spire area. From what I can tell, McComb looks almost like Sylacauga, AL....3 towers with LTE, with exception of McComb having green versus the yellow in Sylacauga. In hoping to find that LTE reaches around Lloyd Hamilton rd, since I'll spend all week there. I wish there was LTE roaming on C-Spire...but maybe next trip. Curious to see how well the G4 works there, as here I'm seeing better RF...LTE in places my G3 didn't pick up..
  11. The post about it or link to it...I'm not just randomly pressing button combinations on the phone trying to find it.
  12. I'm trying to find this menu that's hidden....still looking thru this entire thread....anyone can help me out?
  13. 25026 on my galaxy tab S. Sent from my LGLS990
  14. Not sure if it matters, wireless junkie, but this is also a southern Linc market, which may cause Sprint to deploy less hardware than in a market where they have sole band 26. I think SoLinc has 2.5Ghz in 800, but maybe someone can chime in and say for sure. I'd be much happier to see Sprint deploy here than SoLinc hang onto it. It would make the entire southeast much better in Sprint reception.
  15. With the sheer number of lobbyists with Washington in their pocket, I doubt we ever see anything forcing broadband build out. They would still have years and years to even begin complying
  16. So many of us rural people are S.O.L when it comes to any type of competition in broadband. I don't want to veer the topic in the wrong direction, but I would give anything to see competition in the broadband world.
  17. Well, put me down as g4 user. Order is processing so I'll likely not have it before 4th, but it's on the way. I guess i need to wait until i actually activate the device before going to try the promo stuff? Am i understanding correctly that since i opted for the metallic back, i also get a leather back, battery,charger and sd card once it arrives? Or do you only get the leather if you choose a leather device to begin with?
  18. I gotta chime in here.....rhapsody user for several years (2012ish). I really like rhapsody and I'm so accustomed to the Playlist layout and such that it's hard for me to use other services even though i pay for Spotify also through sprint, i even have both on my phone and tablet. ..i just prefer rhapsody. I pay $14.99/month for rhapsody premier+1. Gives me access on 3 devices plus 2 computers and tv.
  19. There would likely be lots of stipulations if ever there is affiliation. Along with rules that Robert may not want to have, similar to the rules on the Sprint community forums. I'm not sure the site would benefit greatly from affiliation.
  20. This caused me to send a tweet to marci about the yearly upgrade issue i had with sprint. I paid the $10 fee from may 2014 until April 2015 on my phone, and from July 2014 until April 2015 on my wife's line, and when i switched out of framily back in April 2015, i specifically asked the rep if i would still be eligible to get my yearly upgrade. She assured me that i could..... the only reason i ever switched from framily was because i got the tablets and decided to go with share plan so the phones + tablets would share data and i would also be able to use Hotspot. Neither of those were included with framily, otherwise i would've never ditched that (had 8 people in my plan). I actually drove an hour to the Sprint store back on June 3rd and found out upon driving up there that i could NOT get my upgrade and only one of my lines was eligible, the line that I'm dropping in December. The only way to get it was pay full price obviously, or upgrade the line I'm dropping in a few months, neither of which i wanted to do. Not really a big deal or a "I'm going to switch carrier" problem. ....but a justifiable complaint because i was slightly misled by phone rep when i came from framily to share plan. The care team just sent me a tweet and said they reset my eligibility on both lines that i was paying the fee on. I never would have said anything if i had not paid that $10 fee on 2 lines for 8+ months. Now the question i need to find out, how did they reset it. ...i guess a visit to my desktop is in order.
  21. @marceloclaure: We heard you loud and clear and we are removing the 600 kbps on streaming video. #Allin and we won't stop m.twitter.com/marceloclaure Sent from my LGLS990 Just noticed it's already posted...I also sent a tweet to him from my Twitter, which Sprint care follows me so I tagged both
  22. It's nice to not have to worry about the tower i park on slowing down, as I've tested in the middle of day on Saturday and still get 15mb download and 9mbps upload. ....but in turn, once i drive 3 miles away from town, i drop to 1x, and at home its pure roaming via vzw's colocated site with at&t which is exactly 1 mile from my drive. My buddy lives right in front of that tower and he has vzw, and gets great speed. ...but he gripes about the price and hitting his data cap all the time. I can't show him anything better right now with my phone because it won't work without the airave, but I'd love to brag on some band 26LTE to him. ...i hope sprint adds to the tower behind his house and I'll be set. i can see big things from sprint and i hope it comes to fruition
  23. If that's the case then I'm all for it, i guess it'll be wait and see how it works if they deploy it here. I live where there is a chunk of GMO towers, so seeing anything soon is. ..likely not in the stars for me. You guys know i don't bash sprint, and i gladly hand them a nice piece of change each month for my 5 phones and 3 tablets. ....i just want to get as much of a good experience as someone who lives in bham or Montgomery. It gets old when companies like my DSL provider, who is the only broadband provider in my area, happily refuses to give us decent service for the high price they charge...i want to be able to enjoy my cell service in the same manner as i would if i could get fios or charter Cable. Anyone who lives / has lived rurally knows what I'm saying. Seems like we are the last to get the decent stuff, which in turn causes slight resentment for some things that we wait on getting. I never had much resentment for sprint, i just would like them to bring some density to my area. There is a large swath of white in central alabama right where i am. I've been waiting on a tower that has been live since Feb to be optimized so i can hopefully get rid of the airave I've had since 2008. Anxiety sucks
  24. 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
  25. So with the nearest tower being 6.9 miles away, what exactly will band 41 do for me aside from being really nice when i walk around walmart? I'd benefit much more from band 26 LTE....but I'm curious with what's been said here about band 41 being 3 to 5 miles depending on adjustment. ...how will that do me any good at all?
