    Not sure if it's true for the 7 and below iPhone devices. I am on Google fi with a Pixel 2 XL, I just force switch to the Sprint network just now. I'm in NY, rn in Westchester county market and before I would not have been able to make a voice over LTE call. Just called 611 and that worked ran speed test and everything speed test and everything. So there is that... Thanks for post otherwise I would not have checked. Pixel 2 xl was not a device supported for volte on Sprint before.

    When is Altice going to make there own announcement on network operation here. I'm sure most of the small cell work was coming from cooperative work between them and sprint. I haven't seen much work on my part of the BX myself. Still no 3 carriers this side of the hill or in upper Manhattan where I trek normally.

    If you're already done carrier update after the update and you've already reset the device after installation you might need to do a clean wipe possibly for the software to configure properly over the last build! If it's simply just doesn't fix itself. I didn't see any other reason why the modem wouldn't connect to LTE besides some software Gremlins popping up

    Are you coming from the beta or from the Oreo build? I've been on the beta since it was released and its second iteration and I don't have any LTE issues upgrading from the last beta version.
  5. transitwatch889
    So I'm up and Westchester now and they've also increase the carrier size to a 10 x 10 band 25 for my work location

    When I'm back home! Will do!

    So that network wonkiness I noted the other day was them turning on Mini Marco site a lil further away. Was able to latch onto the signal for a bit this morning.

    West Bronx. Kingsbridge, Marble Hill area. Other towers got the 5ghz second carrier a while ago. The main tower I personally receive never did. So a happy surprise this morning to see the 10x10!
  9. transitwatch889
    It was just for a split second, as I noticed my network acting wonky last night. The main tower I connect to was upgraded to a 10x10 band 25 configuration, last night. it's not optimized to still as I have the problem connecting as it will drop to band 26 and stay there or band 41.

    You forget about the blue tint as it does exist but your eyes definitely adjust! If I am being honest I prefer the size of the OG pixel in regard to weight balance in hand. I also miss the heft of my 7 plus the2 XL is really hollow feeling. Go to Verizon for yourself, to see a model before you make a decision!

    So I just checked at I am usually on wifi in my home. But facing my macro tower this morning I got this https://imgur.com/8TUWIur, never pop close to 40 ever in the area. And uploads are consistently meh... Another link with higher upload but doesn't cross 8 up. speedtest https://imgur.com/gallery/bC8zM

    That's very generous. In less touristy areas I would say Sprint hasn't really paid much mind too. Parts of East Harlem. North west Bronx are lacking for sure. I frequent those area and always check to see if there is any progress being made and it's been stalled development for awhile. They changed the tilt of towers that use to receive band 41 signal and the best you can get in one place is overloaded 3g that particular area needs small cells badly if there isn't too be extended macro site deployment. I stopped reporting as there wasn't work being done. That was over a year ago sadly. It's a sport bar so fortunately they have wifi inside. That particular area is around 116th and first ave. If you ever go there check it for yourself.
  13. transitwatch889
    Not all towers have a second carrier still. I remember when it went live for some and never saw it go live for others as well. So it's probably based on network load for a particular area that got serviced and updated.
  14. transitwatch889
    I would like to see some more progress in the more residential areas of New York City boroughs. Seems things have kind of taken a slow progression. Haven't been able to report any new activity out this way.
  15. transitwatch889
    Just got the devices myself and there is noticably blue tint at angle, and it definitely does crush the black in low light setting after about 35% and less. Other than that. None of the grain, and burn as others have experienced yet. I want to wait and see if the screen production improves before I contemplate RMA. As none of the other issues with speaker or call quality over the network.
  16. transitwatch889
    I got mine replaced but it took being persistent. Maybe try another agent. As a side my 6p just got the latest ota September patch. So much prefer the 6p touch targets and such compared to the XL I just wish the Battey in the 6p was better...
  17. transitwatch889
    Yes I did I just received it this afternoon. Going to send the Nexus back on Monday. Using an extra line on my account right now to put into service for a little bit
  18. transitwatch889
    Getting mine replaced as well battery shutdown issue in mine! I am using my iPhone as my main but nice to have a good backup device
  19. transitwatch889
    So the public beta for iOS 11 is available now, and tested the handoff from wifi calling to lte. Does work, sounds good as well!

    HTC U11

    transitwatch889 replied to leozno1's topic in HTC

    So is the sku of the HTC u11 the same for the Sprint/unlocked variants? Is it simply a firmware limit not hardware? I want the solar red for a line on my account. But unsure if it will be compatible with out flashing it first. Best case scenario.

    HTC U Ultra

    transitwatch889 replied to DanielB's topic in HTC

    I was wondering about that myself thanks for the definitive no! The only color I like really is the red. That is not available. Another sore point. As nice as the phone looks it doesn't blend well with there sense UI interface! But love the tech, network capabilities. I'll wait to think about them when I have 3x ca readily available too me consistently.
  22. transitwatch889
    Why the slow roll out of 3xCA? Why not, just flip the switch! I know outer borough towers could use the relief. I've def noticed great performance from sprint in Manhattan in the tourist, business high traffic areas. But not so much in the residential parts.
  23. transitwatch889
    So SoftBank already pulled there backing for that project! So I don't know where that will lead too at this point! http://www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/03/20/softbank-pulls-investment-andy-rubin-essential-amid-apple-ties.html

    It seems my tower has been redirected. I am parked on a very congested tower they is slightly further away! Would calling about this change anything or do I wait it out? I can't stay on LTE or when home or FaceTime audio calls won't even connect. I barely use data when out and about now. But, just a bit disappointing to notice this amount of regression. As a side in the west Bx area I've noticed a crap load of VZW small cells! They are everyone! I don't care for them just an observation though!

    In my experience switching carriers getting subsidize or at lease devices, it's a lot more of a headache to do so, then to stay with what you have and ride it out. People forget that a lot of the promotional deals have been applied to existing customers. I have taken advantage of a few Sprint has had, and all have been a learning experience. I've then come to question, did I need to! Or was it even worth it. This deal Sprint is running is for people who think Sprint would work for them, and don't mind taking the leap to the service! They would be very adventurous due to how Sprint is dragged through the dirt everywhere. So the fact they are port positive is pretty damn spectacular these past few quarters. The 90.00 unlimited for 5 line says it will go up as it is a PROMO price not a length of service price! No reason to give to customers already using the network who in "there" own minds are satisfied! If what individuals want is a credit, then the question of bad service or no service comes to play! If service is genuinely lacking. This deal is for those who can't wait any more! I would be all over this!!!!! But talking about why Mom or Dad favors the young, it is because they have yet to learn! We should already know! If we aren't happy, we can walk! If we are happy there is nothing to talk about! But walking does send a message. So I am sure they would look at numbers from areas of highest port outs! Free data to hopefully improve! Hope to see a healthy competitive company is why most of us are still users, and are participating in this forum. So we have things like this VZW move, to tingle our senses a bit! Writing this on the iPhone is not the worst, but darn close!
