  1. Has anybody heard when sprint will enable wifi calling on iOS 8? I know that it is already available with some android devices. how difficult is it to enable for iPhones?
  2. how much do i have to donate to gain access to tower related information. I would like to learn about the specific details and work that is being done around the towers around me. Details such as what work is being done around me. can you guys tell me how much I have to pay to gain such access?
  3. http://newsroom.sprint.com/presskits/sprint-spark.htm Straight from Sprint How Sprint Spark Works Sprint Spark combines 4G FDD-LTE at 800 Megahertz (MHz) and 1.9 Gigahertz (GHz) and TDD-LTE at 2.5GHz spectrum. Sprint Spark’s spectrum assets, technology and architecture are designed to deliver a seamless customer experience via tri-band wireless devices. Tri-band devices, named for their ability to accommodate multiple spectrum bands, support active hand-off mode between 800MHz, 1.9GHz and 2.5GHz, providing data session continuity as the device moves between spectrum bands. ​By this definition, customer infers that a spark city is using the three different bands as it says it combines the three different bands. so it is false advertising indeed
  4. Isn't spark advertised as triband LTE? i think thats how they defined spark by combining three different bands to....
  5. Very true. I can compare Houston to LA. Band 26 is deployed in Houston and allows the phone to have a persistent LTE connection without dropping to 3g or 1x constantly, which happens quite often in LA as I have not noticed any band 26 here yet. It is frustrating as Sprint advertises LA as a triband city but this is completely false. Without the band 26, there is no point for VoLTE.
  6. Do you know if they have rolled out the 8T8R antennas in LA? or whats the timeline for it?
  7. I only took basic physics for premedical requisites but from what I remember the higher the frequency the higher the energy. How does that play in wireless industry? there has to be an advantage to a higher frequency where as in lower frequency the electromagnetic wave travels longer and penetrates better
  8. I understand your point. But higher frequency has a higher energy and propagates less than a lower frequency signal. so given the same amount of spectrum, a higher frequency should be able to carry more data. otherwise, whats the tradeoff between 2.5 GHz vs 800 Mhz frequency? when 800 penetrates better than 2.5?
  9. not so much with speed but more bandwidth and capacity. so naturally it can accommodate more people and less decrease on data speeds. Maybe I'm wrong
  10. thats unfortunate, without the low frequency, there is never a hope for a consistent LTE connection on sprint. More surprisingly was the speed that I noticed on band 41 (13 down and up). Was kind of hoping for more for such a high frequency
  11. Why is that? how come nextel could use the frequency? band 26 in Houston fills in a lot of areas quite nicely. Is 800 MHz frequency blocked in SoCal for voice/3g as well? Can u explain on the timeline a little Thanks so much
  12. I was wondering if anyone has noticed band 26 in LA. So far I have been unable to connect to band 26 in Santa Monica, Westwood, Sherman oaks and Beverly Hills. I noticed band 41 a few times in Westwood with subpar download speeds (about 13 with 3 bars, similar upload speeds which is good). But i have not noticed band 26 at all yet. In Houston band 26 is widely available. I was wondering if anyone can comment on this. Getting frustrated with Sprint. I'm using iPhone 6
