Yea, that's what I meant. They might as well certify up to 20x20 this time because IIRC the equipment is capable and it will save them a lot of hassle in the future.
-
I thought equipment was only certified for up to 10x10?
-
Could very well be the issue. I often see Sprint B41 outperform AT&T's B30 here in Seattle so...
-
Do the AT&T and Clear antennae have the same sector alignment?
-
Wow - are there maps like these for other carriers?
-
I guess I wouldn't know - I don't leave the city all that often (except to go skiing that is). Something kind of interesting I noticed a few weeks back - when AT&T or Verizon have no service somewhere, it seems to be ok but when Sprint doesn't have service somewhere - people go on a rant. A few weeks ago, some friends and I were driving back from Mount Ranier on 12 and at one point in the drive, one of my friends saw I had Sprint 3G. He went on a rant about how Sprint didn't have any service outside the city and how bad their service was in general and then pulled out his AT&T phone which read "No Service". The discussion pretty much ended then with everyone in the car agreeing that there was just bad service on that highway (Verizon was roaming on US Cellular 1x). I thought it was kind of funny how much of a double standard there was between the big two and Sprint/T-Mobile.

Awesome post. Could not agree more.
-
My bad I misread! Edited now.
-
No but the 7 does. And the 7 supports 2xCA on the upload as well although Sprint hasn't implemented that yet.
-
I was in AZ a few months back and I don't recall any problems other than the weak HSPA connection in my hotel - but data worked fine even on that...maybe I wasn't in the right area.

Even with all of AT&T's non LTE sites, reliability is there. They get away with their non upgraded sites because they sit at the top of each tower broadcasting LTE12/17 at the absolute max power. We all know that the power levels on Sprint's 800mhz could be higher but they don't in increase them, regardless of reason. AT&T does. We also have to consider that AT&T's WCDMA/HSPA fallback network is a lot faster than Sprint's EVDO network. People usually complain about reliability when they can't connect to the internet, not when their phone doesn't say LTE ay the top. Almost always, when AT&T's LTE drops off, their 3G WCDMA/HSPA network is fast enough to stream video and browse the web. The same cannot be said about Sprint (at least here in Seattle).

Field test is still broken. Damn.
-
Interesting something from my conversation with the engineer that I forgot to throw in - according to him, Sprint must replace all of the Huwei equipment by the end of October, not the end of December 2016. So we'll all know real soon which clear sites are getting converted and which aren't.

Sounds good
-
Does serving cell info populate properly?
-
Yea bridle trails.
-
I've had the opposite experience - I lose LTE a lot more with iOS 10 and Sprint 25.1 but maybe that is because Seattle is in the IBEZ and we don't have any 800mhz...
-
Woke up this morning to "No Service" or 1 bar on Sprint/Verizon 1x at the top of my iPhone so I drove out to my home Clear site and found a crew upgrading it to mini macros! Talked to the guy in charge a bit and he says his team started doing conversions 3 or 4 days ago and is doing about 2 conversions every day. Apparently his schedule is packed for the next few weeks - Sprint is not here to play!

Can anyone comment on how the RF is compared to the previous iPhones?
-
B4 is AWS which sprint doesn't have...
-
Apple doesn't allow developers access to any cellular related info other than: - the carrier name - the network technology - mcc/mnc - ip address Signal check requires more than just these four pieces of information to do what it does.

Well, if they turn B26 up to a high power level and turn on VoLTE, BC1 CDMA can be cut down to 5mhz or less. Then, B25 can be expanded to 10x10, 15x15, or greater and the power levels on B25 can also be increased. I've seen what a AT&T can do with their B2 - there are areas in the suburbs of Seattle where B2 dies when B12/B17 is at -110 or worse. If Sprint turns up their B25 to those power levels, B26 shouldn't be too burdened...
-
It could be - Sprint is making the choice to leave B26 power levels low. With B26, well optimized I have seen it eclipse the range of the CDMA1900 network (once or twice in massachussets). If all B26 sites were optimized this way, Sprint could easily deploy VoLTE.

Sprint "Open World" plan (replaces International Value Roaming)
RAvirani replied to lilotimz's topic in General Topics
You got 2.5mbps on global roaming???!!! Are you sure you weren't on Open World? -
Ok so my circumstances were a bit different but effectively the same. I don't talk on the phone much so I simulated this situation with two phones in the same room. Basically the wifi network I am on kicks me off for like 5 seconds every few minutes. When I am on a known wifi call and i get kicked off, the call usually smoothly hands off to CDMA although every so often it fails. That's pretty much it.
