    yes

    Hmm, well considering most/all the new plans are not contracts, I would think switching plans would be easy.

    Hi Mike, love the update thank you! Since the b41 recognition seems pretty stable at this point, how about getting a separate b41 alert options?

    Network is like liquid flowing through a pipe. Bandwidth equalizes pressure and throughput much like liquid does. If you have a big main pipe, and you connect 2 other equal side pipes, then the throughput and pressure through those pipes are going to be pretty much equal. If one pipe is smaller or more restrictive (longer, more bends, etc), then that pipe will flow less. Bandwidth on a mobile/wireless network is very dynamic, as rarely there will be one user or perfect conditions for that user. If you ever use an app like internet speed meter, you will see in nearly real time how your speed will dynamically adjust over time, as the load and the airlink quality between you and the sector/tower, is constantly changing, your ratio and speed of available bandwidth will change also. That is all assuming there is nothing in on the back end affecting priorities, throw in network management protocols, that can prioritize and/or de-prioritize various connections on demand, your particular ratio and resulting speed could be better or worse than other users on the same sector.

    I have no idea, and really its all irrelevant at this point. All other things being equal, double the spectrum is going to either provide double the speed, or twice as much simultaneous connections. So sprint with 5mhz and max ~35mbs and more connections vs tmo with 10mhz max ~70mbs and less subscribers is going to have higher ave speeds on a tower by tower basis. If density was at the point that 2 towers were covering the same as one of the other, then that would skew factors even further. No one is going to argue any different. if you're just going to attempt to cheerlead for tmo, you probably aren't going to last here.

    on equally unloaded sectors, I am sure they were. However there is alot more factors than simple spectrum sizes and site densities that affect resulting throughput at any point in time.

    If your going to come up with some attempt at unique, try *wireless self-charging* clothes. "Try our awesome charger clothes, that will wirelessly charge every (compatible) electronic device, *and* charge itself by the sheer act of wearing them and/or walking around!"

    I don't know if your assertion that sprint density is way less than tmobile is correct or not (I really doubt it, and it would be highly dependent on market anyway), however you are correct that sprints 800 & 1900 spectrum does create some limitations that will only be overcome by blanketing 2500 and any other potential spectrum additions.

    you guys are silly. charger pants are already here and available; any number of these @ https://www.google.com/search?q=carpenter+pants&biw=1086&bih=952&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=gLiUVMiyFYuwogTP54HgCA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg plus any number of these @ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009USAJCC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    if you want this, its easy and available now, just go to att or vz

    Bummer, I was ready to convince a few different accounts to switch to that plan.
  12. dedub
    it's not on the nexus 5, so I don't think its lollipop, but I would check either the dialer settings, or sound settings and look for the option there.
  13. dedub
    ouch, down over 20% this month, I need to put xmas gifts on hold and buy buy buy S!
  14. dedub
    Bummer. Here's to hoping a sprint lte-advanced variation is produced.
  15. dedub
    family rollover + 3-5gig free tethering on unlimited plans would be useful. also, LOL @
  16. dedub
    Mmmmm roll over data.

    Just happened across this, I don't see any topic here; among other stuff http://www.netgear.com/about/press-releases/2014/02092014-NETGEAR-INTRODUCES-EXPANDED-4G-LTE-PRODUCT-LINE-INCLUDING-4G-LTE-ADVANCED-MOBILE-HOTSPOT.aspx strange no lte 800/1900 specified, but 2600 supported in single and CA. Wonder where this will end up. http://www.netgear.com/service-providers/products/mobile/mobile-hotspots/790s.aspx
  18. dedub
    found this, however the zing 771 is not listed as compatible http://www.netgear.com/service-providers/products/mobile/mobile-hotspots/AirCardSmartCradle.aspx
  19. dedub
    is there a link yet?
  20. dedub
    So those of you with both the zing and the docking station; - do you still use the dock? - would you buy it again, or was it worth buying? - do you want to get rid of it?

    If I remember correctly, my experience was with the original stock radio (.17) and 4.4.1 radio (.23) were that b41 was pretty much impossible to get b41. I believe that .15, and later 2.x radios had usable b41 of various acceptability. Looking @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/modem-nexus-5-flashable-modems-efs-t2514095 they now have listed an even earlier .12 and .13 radio that I don't recall trying, that may or may not have b41 capabilities. all the radios through L preview 2 are linked above if anyone really wants to go back through and test any of them.

    It is possible to create android app that can be 'always on top' or overlay other apps. All that would need to be done is a simplified txt only view translucently overlayed over normal apps. if you go into android settings > developer options > show cpu usage, you can see an example of what I mean (beyond the aquos example).
  23. dedub
    Any chance we could get an 'overlay' mode, something like apparently the aquos crystal has? http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2703-network-visionlte-washington-dc-market/page-34&do=findComment&comment=389560 even if it requires root, that would be a pretty killer feature.

    Dave I think your confused. radio 15, the 'unreleased' radio has always picked up b41, at least in stl. The problem, as has been mentioned, is the over inflated signal for b25 often prevented b41 from connecting unless there were low or no b25. I have certainly connected to (clear) b41 on radio 15. I have complained for a long time that the n5, even on the current radio, continue to prefer a closer, overloaded b25 signal vs a further yet less overloaded b41 signal. I have used side by side, the n5 and m8-h/k and the m8 had consistently better performance for grabbing and holding on to b41 (and b26) vs the n5. I currently use iphone 6+ and n5 side by side, and the iphone6+ is very similar, in my experience to the m8 grabbing and maintaining a lte connection, vs n5 still drops to 3g in various areas where the 6+ will stay on lte.
  25. dedub
    i got b41 on radio.15 in stl, it was just uncommon. I haven't used it months though, the stock lollipop radio has been mostly fine for me, although it still gets stuck in 3g mode for longer and more often than my iphone 6+.
