Certain Phones Won't Work after 7/1/16?
rackhivee replied to Volaris's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Isn't LTE plus just a word play on LTE-A (advanced) features? I think Sprint is the only one being close to honest on their LTE branding. -
3G has been performing that way for quite a while now. It's great in overloaded areas when all connections are timing out and most people aren't aware they can turn off 4G. (Vz, ATT, TM and S)
-
Anything to discredit Sprint progress. (See what I did there?)
-
I have mine set to 2.
-
Does setting the NextLTE do anything to reduce LTE scan times? I am not experiencing this getting stuck on 3G, or maybe I don't notice if I do get stuck.
-
Yup. I still like it here, but I want my money to go farther than it does here. It kind of sucks I couldn't afford a house until they were this expensive. I don't see the value proposition, as someone who lived here long before anyone considered this a good place to live. It's weird, for many years "everyone" outside the state looked down their noses at this state. So yeah, I'm leaving, sadly.
-
Probably the growth of the past couple of years. I'm leaving this state next month.

Still wouldn't solve the immediate problems that small cells address. It would be too little too late. I haven't found an area with service so poor that my phone calls drop and texts don't go through.
-
Spark was the initial tri-band network with band 41. LTE Plus is carrier aggregation on band 41.
-
Thank you.

That's right, cutting costs and expenditures in order to stay in business is too mainstream. Having a financial road map to profitability and liquidity is wrong. They should forget all about their financial obligations until they make it or go under.
-
The Marshmallow update for this phone is out now.
-
Truth is Marcelo made the statement of "18 to 24 months" in May of last year so it hasn't even been a year. People must've misunderstood that to mean 18 to 24 hours, which is when they want their upgrades, now. Sprint hasn't been the Now Network in many years.
-
That does sound pretty bad, especially if it's happening across the entire market.
-
I had been experiencing the same jump across all 3 bands here at work in Denver for a few months, but that seems to have stabilized the past few days and am now parked on B41. Maybe you're experiencing optimizations still. It was very annoying, but I didn't experience those service disruptions though.
-
I hit the update button to check for an update and it's downloading a 1.3 GB file right now.
-
I would look more at the SNR values more than the service bars. That will give you a clearer picture of what is happening with your service. Also if the 20 Mhz FDD carrier is a new deployment you might be right about the backhaul.
-
No Microwave. Think of it like an airave of sorts that uses existing B41 as back haul. Like a coworker only gets 5 mbps at edge of cell but the existing macro has like 50 mbps bandwidth close to the macro. So the total mbps would be 50 mbps, extended beyond the existing macro footprint. Or something like that.

I am not 100% but I believe you can do google voice integration to your Sprint number and then simply use the Google Voice dialer to make phone calls. Again, I am not 100% but I believe I read somewhere that this is possibility. Might be worth looking into if you're interested.

I read this article https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/01/eff-confirms-t-mobiles-bingeon-optimization-just-throttling-applies And thought it was funny they dressed "throttling" as "optimization". Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Anybody experiencing unreported battery use? There's like a 50 percent overhead off of the actual use. It reports 40 percent usage by OS, apps, screen but only 40 percent battery remains and 20 percent is unreported. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

B25 square? That's a second B25 carrier. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Just now downloading the update. Probably the monthly security update they committed to. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Just noticed the quick battery drain from the voicemail app. No freezing though. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

How is the Band 26 deployment going in San Antonio? Seeing better coverage yet? Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
