  1. I must be the only one who likes this plan. The reason I don't like the sprint plan is I have to trust sprint to upgrade my town which is the worst performing in Orange County, Aliso Viejo. Who knows how long downtown or my neighborhood will take to even get LTE. The downtown has a chance, my neighborhood, not likely. By giving a consumer's a choice we get to perform the deployment for TMO. I already got my business on the pre-order list for this device about a month ago as well. This is a "disruptive" strategy at very low cost to Tmobile. I agree that it could violate terms of service though for consumer customers.
  2. Just drove the grapevine on the 99 and did not drop LTE at all until I got to my hotel. Pretty good showing for Sprint. I got quite a bit of B41. Shocked that I didn't hit B26 at all though.
  3. What car charger are you using? I found none that charged at the same voltage as the wall charger that came with the phone. Btw, I don't think your phone can actually charge faster than 5v/3a.
  4. If Sprint doesn't have spectrum that they could mutually swap, they should open up their pocket book and buy some for a couple billion. By waiting, the spectrum price is going up to insane prices. If this payout happened years ago, it may have been able to be performed a lot cheaper. Right now it is still an OK time though because people need money to purchase the 600 spectrum.
  5. Not that big a fan... People won't believe their statements at the end. Heck, I'm a sprint user and I know those statements aren't near true unless they are comparing themselves to sprint of a few years ago. Plus, that map of the US acts like they are pretending to have massive coverage when in fact, they now have the least coverage of the National carriers (or close to it since it sounds they are doing a metroPCS strategy). Sorry this sounds negative but I would have focused on things that are true such as number one in multiple markets, international roaming, talk about the open world plan, take about no overages, etc.
  6. The update did the same 3g issue to my Nexus 5. It got fixed once I moved to the Nexus 5x.
  7. I know Sprint used to over promise which got them burned, but I wish sprint would go back to listing targets and being more transparent with roll out plans. Everything is so secretive these days.
  8. Just thinking out loud though, Sprint is not preventing manufacturers from adding the capability to their phones. I do recommend voting with your wallet because that is how capitalism works, but I'm not sure where a good viable option is for you to turn.
  9. I was in Julian a couple weeks ago and had a second B25 carrier. Granted, that is in the middle of nowhere.
  10. This would be great! I like that Sprint is clearing all my pain points with it one by one. I wish I was in a B26 market and that would be icing on the cake. I never wanted to switch off of unlimited because I hate overages. This will help users get off their unlimited plans. Just hope this won't kill their profit in the meantime.
  11. Don't know what I think about this. It probably will help change the culture which is good, but a lot of higher up people have earned their position, work a lot harder doing things that add value to the stockholders, come in earlier and stay later, and travel frequently so they need to re-work throughout the day. These are of course generalizations but they generally hold true.
  12. If it is anything like the Nexus 5x, it will be a strong LTE performer. I get LTE in places I have never had it moving from the Nexus 5.
  13. Agreed! No dropped calls in the handoff needs to be the requirement before moving to VoLTE.
  14. Can sprint make their VoLTE seamlessly hand off to CDMA for voice calls? Then you wouldn't have the dropped call issues and you'd hopefully free enough carriers for another B25 carrier.
  15. Like yr detailed post but I don't think the Nexus 5x supports quick charge 2.0. It does charge quick, but it doesn't use the Qualcomm quick charge technology to do it. On a separate note, I do hope proprietary fast charging goes away as it evolves way too quick and it shouldn't be a licensing/royalty thing.
  16. You know, I think I should get some cred to eat my words. What would you think if for 4 months you don't get LTE anymore and you drop calls all the time. 4 months without cell service when you are a principle project manager is a big deal.
  17. Limos is going too far but ubers are a very common and economical choice for business trips
  18. Was it just me but the only wireless company not advertising during the show was Sprint? If I was sprint it would have brought out the message that Sprint is number one in KC.
  19. I wanted to eat my words real quick. The reason my experience has been so crappy as of late is because I was part of the android 6 preview program and it forced my phone to 1x all the time and would just camp out there leaving for an incredibly crappy experience. Over the past week on the official version, things have improved back to normal. Also, the nexus 5x is proving to be a much better phone than the nexus 5 on holding on to LTE so now I occasionally get LTE at work and sometimes at home. Granted, now I'm pisses at Google because I sold a bunch of my sprint shares and signed up for a Tmobile plan that I can now go and cancel. TMO is still superior in OC, but I don't want to lose my $60 unlimited plan.
  20. Yes, I thought the phone was going to go flying across the room because it is so slippery and the cable was hard to disconnect.
  21. Think I got it. I recalled back from Nexus 5 days the need to remove the last number of the code and then it goes through.
  22. At sprint store and they are having trouble activating. Any tips for them?
  23. Sprint has got to be seeing that one of their updates is messing with their reliability. I want sprint to succeed and I think there is just a configuration error that Sprint deployed. My own experience in Orange County seems to be slowly replicating itself in other markets. I used to travel on LTE the majority of the time and now it is less than 20% of the time even though I don't use data when driving. My phone is going from full blown LTE signal to no signal and back to 3g every couple of minutes when driving (or even when sitting at a stop light). I get my new Nexus 5x here shortly and hope this fixes itself but I am concerned how this will start to impact customer adds and drops. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
