  1. If there's enough outcry, AT&T could also remove it after a few months. More corporate nonsense. Past example from the king: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/12/29/144444008/verizon-will-charge-2-to-pay-bill-online-or-by-phone
  2. Absolutely. Although it will eventually simmer down, the "breaking the rules" nature of T-Mobile will unfortunately make things uglier for longer. I appreciate the admins and moderators who run this site. Very few places on the internet are not run like buddy systems or left to chaos. Those of us who have been on the internet for over a decade know this very well. Thank you all.
  3. The possibilities are endless... Denialism? Too much anecdotal evidence? Not keeping up with pink mobile? Whine how it doesn't factor the speeds and pull a magentan VZW semi-defense tactic and point out Verizon's crappy latencies.
  4. (Not directed towards you, but in general) I'm not going to go too in depth or feed a troll (who already stalks these forums), but it's very clear it's a deep-seated personal issue, whether he/she (gender has never been revealed, will presume from name) or a family/friend got fired from Sprint or something terrible happened with the color yellow. I don't see why people feel the need to feed him/her. Why people try to give a troll the benefit of the doubt, when he's probably the one laughing, is stupid. If he'd grow up, then his behavior would reflect the conclusion that he's an excited magenta employee/fanboy that's doubtful about Sprint and hates the bigger corporations' practices, but to see that now is to wear rose-tinted glasses. We've joked in the past, but this is my first and last discussion on whatever lost cause is behind that alias, and why he/she/it cannot get over a bad experience with a company, and makes a profession of trolling others on internet forums because of it. Simply put: it's chickenshit and lame. Let's move on.
  5. Even though it both dates back to updates from 2011 and isn't updated often enough (making it somewhat ineffectual for showing very recent updates), they did... http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=24795 http://www.att.com/gen/sites/focus?pid=22633 Likewise, if anyone knows of such an update site from Verizon or T-Mobile, please let me or others know.
  6. I just checked and confirmed. It is an isolated issue for him, not SC or Excel. I just checked my .csv files generated on a phone running LP 5.1.1 and they show up fine in Excel 2013. One should just bring up the .csv in Excel and convert it to a native Excel file before editing. In your case, maybe backup the .db and try restoring the app. Or, maybe something funny happened with that backup and it was a fluke (close app/restart phone)
  7. It was intentional -- a play on their strange "crowdsourcing". In retrospect, I'd put "un-accurate un-coverage map".
  8. Just like they "pad" their un-accurate coverage map?
  9. Precisely. The 3G updates are still not done after what? Over 6-7 years? And so, they're going to overlay everything with LTE by... when? They might do good in most cities and a handful of airports, but way too much credit is given when unlike all other 3 carriers: they have far too much 2G remaining. Also unlike the other carriers: as of late, they simply gave up with at least the bulk of their remaining 3G upgrades in favor of skipping to robust, delicate LTE which, especially on a mid-band network, should come last. Regarding GSM, every AT&T user here that travels knows that HSPA+ is the saving grace of AT&T's service when density is lacking, or when they haven't happened to have overlayed a tower out of town somewhere with LTE. T-Mobile is not exempt for this reality, and it shows. I can't comprehend where they come up with these absolutely absurd numbers. I'm guessing with their bs metrics. I mean love or hate AT&T's service, their coverage maps are grossly exaggerated (as with VZW, but VZW does have the decency to mark areas "extended" meaning "probably will drop LTE", making them just slightly less ridiculous). Well, with T-Mobile's maps, they took the imaginary coverage to a whole new level.
  10. Hmm, I don't know. But maybe we should ask Verizon for another clever yet bullshit marketing term? They are good at that. XLTE wasn't bad at all for the unknowing. Maybe ZLTE? Or maybe eLTE would work with say extendedLTE, or XLTE 2.0? Hmm. Or maybe SvXLTE2.1? Super Verizon XLTE Advanced 2.1 with VoLTE Advanced Calling 3.0*? I give up. *Please turn VoLTE off to increase call reliability in the many [non-urban] areas where Verizon has holes in their LTE just like any other carrier.
  11. Don't you know? Your phone has a good sense of humor. When it's idle, it makes fun of T-Mobile's CH51 catastrophe.
  12. I still have the buffet on my mind Will they? Maybe. I'd guess where "de-prioritization" still remains un-popular, they could still add more e-penis wankers.
  13. Yes, that was my anecdotal evidence for my areas of travel. I've been personally seeing most work around me this year.
  14. Correct. One thing about the queen of last minute is, AT&T still has a bit of spectrum to still use (PCS and AWS-1, but no one knows the how (much), when or where). This year I've been seeing both deployed, and most of my spottings have been PCS. They also seem to be filling in some gaps, so I guess the reality of needing density for VoLTE has hit AT&T like VZW.
  15. Yeah, they probably think you're from Peekskill or something lol. People's perceptions are dreadfully inaccurate -- it's a city-state to most of the country. If you're in Downstate NY, everyone automatically assumes that if it's north of White Plains or New Rochelle it's just "upstate NY". Then again, being from e.g. New Jersey and going on vacation is not any better, in fact that can be worse.
  16. If they got by with just 5GB, lol. I never had an unlimited data plan with either of the big two. Most unlimited users stay due to idiotic fear or thinking they have an advantage they probably don't have (being most use 5-10GB tops). I see a ton of this with overpaying Verizon users (otherwise they keep their VZW unlimited plan to do similar T-Mobile e-penis trolling). Anyways -- Now, they do this: http://www.droid-life.com/2015/05/06/att-unlimited-data-plan-throttling/
