Cycled the radio multiple times and nothing :-/

I'll be headed down today, I'll try and go through town insteasd of the bypass and see what I can find.

To add further, I'm at the tower now and it's definitely the Los Alamos tower. My signal is now -60. I cycled airplane mode and it connected right back to smr. I am running stock prl so shouldn't it switch back to 1x after a radio cycle? Unless Sprint changed the priorities in their side to prioritize smr which would be awesome!

I've been camped on SMR all day up here in Los Alamos. I'm seeing up to 10 dB better signal than usual for 1X. I haven't yet nailed down if it's coming from Santa Fe/Pojoaque or if it's the Los Alamos tower in town that has upgraded panels. I will go out at lunch and see what I can find.

Phandroid is reporting that the partner is just Sprint. http://phandroid.com/2015/01/22/google-sprint-reach-wireless-deal/ Edit: Or rather, they are suggesting that Google has a deal with Sprint already. It doesn't neccesarily exclude T-Mobile.

I did see an interesting comment about how there is speculation that apple pay and google wallet will further increase credit card fees because now google and apple get a slice of every transaction. Anybody have more info/opinions about that?

I doubt they will up the RAM.

Should this be in the premiere sponsors forum?

Guess I'll give it another go. Maybe google fixed something on the back end.

Has anyone had any issues with multiple sms's being sent while being integrated into hangouts? I deactivated the hangouts potion of google voice because of the issue. I haven't noticed a hangouts update, but wanted to see if anyone still using it has the issue still.

I can be done for now.

Thank You!

My wife owns an iPhone. It is relevant to me. Besides that fact, I think most of us are really into mobile technology in general, so excuse me for not just sticking in the "Android" threads. Also, I am not blaming people for buying the device. It seems like a great device and what a lot of people have been demanding from Apple for a while. I am merely seeking discussion with others and bringing some knowledge to the conversation I have because of my background.

I agree that Apple is not better or worse than everyone else, but that is not how they advertise. If normal use (still to be fully determined) causes bending of your $1000 iDevice wouldn't you be a little more upset than say if you bent your $350 N5, which doesn't seem to bend? I am not trying to argue with everyone it just kind of amuses me to see people defending the "best phone yet". I also take offense to people responding to the bending with "put a case on it". If Apple designs a product that has to have a case, then why do they offer different color bodies? I really wish someone could leak an internal CAD drawing on this puppy, and other phones for that matter. As an engineer, I am sick of seeing phones get super thin while compromising structural integrity. I understand that structural integrity usually means more weight, but honestly, what is a few grams for a sturdier phone?

Keep in mind the video I posted a page back showing the bending of an Iphone 6+ was in the open air. If a phone has been in your pocket (front or back), it will be much warmer that the video conditions because your pocket acts as an insulator for all the heat the phone is generating. Most materials, especially Al, become weaker at higher temperatures. After a bit of research, the creep strength (related to malleability) will decrease almost 20% over 50 C for Aluminum. Here in lies the problem. Did Apple test bending? If they did (I hope they did), did they qualify the structural response under higher temperatures? This really makes me want to do a finite element analysis for the structural response of the iphone case to thermal and structural loading. If I only I had time while at work.

Iphone 6+ bend test Note 3 bend test Instead of antennagate it is bendgate. Does Apple issue titanium bumpers, instead of rubber ones for antennagate, to add extra strength ? This is definitely a design flaw and not found on all phones (i.e. note 3 video). I think it's time to stop going thin with Al body. Anyone?

The thing with plastic bending is that it is behaving in an elastic way and will regain its form assuming you don't bend it until it breaks. The iphone, being metal, is bending (or deforming) in a non-elastic way (plastic deformation) and is not regaining it's form even with the slightest bend. It also seems that heat makes things worse since it makes the metal more malleable.

Hmmm. So i do agree with the re prioritizing of B41 roll out to congested areas first, but I will they still place b41 everywhere eventually? I also gather from this article that b26 is still a go for every site nationwide that doesn't have restrictions for the frequency?

If you bought it from the play store you can get a refurbished one for free.

Agreed. I don't see that Apple has a reason to not partner with others too.

So I can make/receive calls while only connected to Wi-Fi using the new hangouts/dialer combination?

I don't know if you can receive calls though? Anyone?

Unless you don't have Wi-Fi calling! I'm looking at you N5

We will see if the google voice app even stays around. I wouldn't be surprised to see it disappear if full functionality is transferred to hangouts.

Update, it will include voip functionality in hangouts!! This is what I wanted! http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/10/hangouts-now-takes-google-voice-messages/
