  1. A total of 15mhz. I like getting a straightforward answer when i ask a question as well .
  2. I haven't come across that problem, although in my experience, if iOS has to choose between known wifi networks (secure or not) it prioritizes them in alphabetic order.
  3. According to Gunther, it has already been implemented so I don't know what to make of that...
  4. Stumbled across this - has anyone seen B26 CA in the wild yet?
  5. Ideally the whole C block so the carrier can be expanded to 20x20 later on.
  6. If you mean the PCS H Block (Dish doesn't own the F Block), it honestly won't help Sprint that much. It's frequencies are not included in Band 25 and Sprint would need yet another boutique band, new equipment and certifications from the FCC and it probably wouldn't really be worth the cost.
  7. Gunther has hinted at it numerous times, one of which was just a few days ago in response to a question asked by lilotimz.
  8. I see...doesn't category 14 (I think) LTE increase B41's uplink maximum from 23dBm to 26dBm (approximately a double in power)? That would help (~19% increase in range)...
  9. Though purely anecdotal, I have never had upload problems on B41 and I regularly sit on a -122 to -126 signal. Uplink CA will be coming soon as well which should aid with weak signal upload issues. Hopefully we will see Sprint start to be more aggressive in terms of higher band placement in the coming months.
  10. The whole point of B26 is to only serve customers not reached by B25/41. What Sprint really needs to do is be more aggressive about moving devices up to a better band. I've seen T-Mobile move people from -102 to -105 B12 up to -120 to -122 B4. Same with AT&T. This is the kind of aggressive band placement Sprint needs to implement if they want to improve the usability of B26.
  11. So I'm assuming the TSMC chips are generally better then?
  12. How can you tell whether you've got Samsung or TSMC?
  13. I liked the physical button more. I can't explain it but it just felt better.
  14. Quick question out of curiosity - why are ATT/VZW/TMO lowband antennae so large while Sprint's are so small?
  15. No - upgrades are mostly finished. The real problem is that AWS and PCS WCDMA/LTE doesn't cut it with their site density and the hilly, lots-of-trees terrain up here. I have not tried a Band 12 device - maybe their network is better than I think.
  16. I would not argue so - at least not in Seattle. The amount of EDGE I see is incredible.
  17. Yea I'm super curious how the RF of the Sprint 7 compares to the RF of the Sprint 6S.
  18. Huh my 6S got 54057. Ok a related note, has anyone figured out what the difference between the 55xxx and 54xxx PRLs are?
  19. I mean I don't know how much more credible a source can be than the guy who puts up and tests the actual panels…
  20. So I was talking to one of the engineers converting a clear site today and Verizon came up as the topic of discussion. He told me that a few weeks back, the company he worked for had just finished up VZW's 4x2 MIMO upgrade for bands 13, 4 and 2. I have noticed a new very large antenna added to Verizon sites in the past few months so it definitely seems plausible. I have a VZW MiFi hotspot from work but I don't believe that its debug web pages will disclose any information of benefit although I may be wrong...
  21. Something interesting I learned today - Verizon has 4x2 MIMO on their B13 rolled out in Seattle.
  22. Can't wait for that here in Seattle.
