A couple of weeks ago I posted all of the screens in the Field Test (*3001#12345#*). If ehrpd is available, it will be here. If you can't find my thread, let me know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sprint engineering study
bollar replied to Proxcee's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
That would be an interesting animation! No, I'm not suggesting you actually do that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD -
If you go back today, you should see that Sprint 4G-WiMax is labeled separately. LTE is the plain Sprint 4G Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Sprint engineering study
bollar replied to Proxcee's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Love your map! This is certainly consistent with what I've seen. The only consistently "usable" LTE signal for me is in far north Southlake around Bob Jones Park and the adjacent parts of Trophy Club. All coming from 317, of course. -
Reasons people choose iOS instead of Android
bollar replied to MacinJosh's topic in Apple/iPhone/iOS
It's true that OS X has a dizzying array of keyboard shortcuts and right click options. If you ever have to use a Mac again, you'll be pleased to know that right click is now supported by all OS X input devices and just needs to be enabled in system preferences. -
My use case includes a Wahoo Fitness Blue HR HRM, which is a BT 4.0 low-power device. I can add to that BT headphones, or even hop in the car and use the car's BT stereo and handsfree systems and the Wahoo keeps connected. Maybe I misunderstand your question? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Reasons people choose iOS instead of Android
bollar replied to MacinJosh's topic in Apple/iPhone/iOS
Certainly Apple's ecosystem is a good reason to want to be with iOS, but there are other considerations... On the software side, I value that the iOS user experience is consistent from version to version. I like that my three year old 3GS is able to run iOS 6 and use most of its features. I also like that iOS 6 has been out for only three weeks, but 60% of iPhones have already updated to it. On the developer side, I like that it's easy to develop using Apple's tools. I also like that it's easy to get a great user experience across all iPhones -- the only significant challenge is if I want to support iPhone 3 since the APIs for it are two years old now. On the hardware side I like smaller phones and I like the iPhone's design. Although I wouldn't change platforms for it, an SGIII variant that's iPhone 4 sized would be interesting to me. I'm also not really in to having to fidget to make things work. I don't want to have to try different firmware revisions to make LTE work correctly, or to get rid of carrier-installed bloatware. I also don't like having the carrier decide when I'm going to be able to get an upgrade. My company develops for every platform and while I respect the folks on my team who love their Android, WP and Blackberry devices, I'm happy with my choice. I can and do develop for Android and I like the platform, but it's not my favorite. In any event, I'm on this forum to learn about Sprint's LTE rollout and share constructively to the conversation here - not to challenge people on their smartphone decisions.

Every device I've owned can support multiple devices and will connect/disconnect automatically as they come into range. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

There are lots of good reasons one would choose an iOS device over other flagship alternatives, and since I develop for iOS and Android, I'm aware of a number of them. However, this isn't the place to do it. If you want to open a thread in an appropriate forum, I'll be happy to share. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

True, but an iOS version on either app won't support reporting LTE v WiMAX. The data isn't available through the API. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sensory for iOS doesn't do this. It doesn't upload results and it doesn't scan continuously. You're much better off using RootMetrics for iOS at this point. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I have not seen this. You might want to look at the Time app by Emerald Sequoia. Although it can't change the time, it can show the exact difference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Report Your LTE Connection Here
bollar replied to jegillis's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
My experience with Airave 2.5 is that it does relay data as well as voice. With Airave on, I get 2.3 Mbps down, with it off, less than three hundred. In my case, at least, this also matches the Advanced Tech Support manual which outlines the requirement for relaying data services. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD -
And DisplayMate's analysis greatly favors the iPhone. http://www.displaymate.com/Smartphone_ShootOut_2.htm We're all better served looking at the screens side by side and seeing which we prefer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't know. Certainly seems plausible.

Sprint engineering study
bollar replied to Proxcee's topic in Network, Network Vision/LTE Deployment
Thanks for this. Here's a page comparing Sprint's Dallas coverage map with the study. The study is much more in line with what I'm seeing than what Sprint claims to have. http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnfull/20121002/LA85743-INFO -
An advantage is that 4G voice & data could be simultaneously on one antenna, which allows for smaller, probably more power efficient phones.
-
I didn't call it a feature. You suggested the problem might be fixed in a later iPhone and it will not.. The point is that iPhone 6 isn't going to have a dual antenna design either, so will also depend on VoLTE being offered by operators. . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
I think that's unlikely. Apple's already gone with a single antenna design and a Qualcomm chipset that theoretically supports SVLTE. My take is that they're giving operators a reason to support VoLTE. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Most recent smartphone that compliments Airave usage....
bollar replied to JBOUTSIDEKC's topic in BlackBerry/RIM
FYI, for anyone else looking at this thread in the future, the iPhone 5 works fine with the Airave 2.5 that arrived today. 2.3 Mbps down & 0.6 Mbps up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD- 16 replies

See if this still works. http://m.gizmodo.com/5475173/access-the-whole-itunes-app-store-through-your-browser Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tough choice. I can say that the 5 seems to be good at acquiring and keeping LTE when it's available, but I don't have an LTE Android phone, so I can't give you a quantitative answer that it's truly better. From my experience, power users tend to be happier with Android than iPhone because of the modifications they can make, but I'm a power user, develop for iOS and Android, and have access to phones on all platforms. My informed personal choice is iPhone, but if it didn't exist, I'd be similarly happy with a SGIII... Except, of course, the SGIII wouldn't look like it does and would have a slide down keyboard if it weren't for the iPhone's influence. (it's just a joke, guys, it's just a joke).

Okay, here's why we need 4G... 1km range piloting an AR.Drone over a 4G network.
