Has anyone else noticed the recent degradation of B41 service on the orange line corridor? I'm secretly hoping they are beginning upgrades for CA.

Same here... it is a pretty large update, either we are extremely lucky or they have changed their staggered approach to updates. Also, it prompted me to update - I didn't even know we had one until then.

Somewhere in the deathstar, an accountant is devising a way to free themselves of this burden.

Verizon and AT&T LTE is slowly making its way through each orange line station between Rosslyn and Ballston. I was taken aback by the speed of their deployment. Was this just a software upgrade for them? Sprint does have native 1xRTT in the stations, so I wonder they all share a similar upgrade path since this must be legacy PowerWave equipment. The tunnel remains a blackhole for all carriers.

In real life or on a map? Either way, exciting!

That is weird - I wonder if it is more specific to the iPhone. I've only traveled overseas with my Android and Blackberry.

It's an antenna just for you. But no, not really sure what it is.... could it be a 'low profile' microwave receiver?

According to their unlock policy it should be automatic, but I am also curious to see how I can confirm my phone is domestic unlocked. However my phone is UICC unlocked, which I didn't ask for... Edit: Forgot to mention that I bought mine full priced and thus should be free to port around, if I really wanted too.

Yep, I didn't receive any text either.

I noticed in Scotland that when I left my phone is GSM/UMTS, 'Automatic' selection mode - I ended up on Three/Hutchinson while in the countryside. The good news was that the data connection refused, so maybe that is 'protection.'

I also headed to Scotland (large swaths of the countryside is still on GPRS ) last week and had great service on O2. Purchased the 'higher speed' data pack which worked marvelously on both my S6e and my traveling partners S4T. I made sure that our phone was only in GSM/UMTS mode though, it looks like you were using Automatic, which I assume kept scanning for CDMA every once in a while. Overall, great experience and I hope they add the Caribbean soon!

Where in 'Downtown DC' are you? The golden triangle, federal triangle, metro center, Chinatown?

Looks like the new design is primary for Sprint.com, but it isn't playing nice with legacy parts of the site. Hopefully this is just a temporary glitch as a new UX takes hold.

That's great to hear. Is it legacy Clear or mostly Sprint B41?

Where is this tower?

Probably open their arms for the droves of defecting t-mobile customers once kabletown takes over. I've never seen such rage at one company.

In the DC metro area, Clear Channel (err sorry 'iHeartMedia') has a pretty comprehensive HD radio stack and it sounds a lot better than traditional FM. That said, I with Norway aiming for an FM shutdown in 2017, I wonder what our broadcasters will follow in ten years. Would be nice to refarm that spectrum.... Sure, streaming and data is the future, but our cellular coverage isn't ubiquitous enough for everyone to ditch traditional radio.

Excuse my continuous eye rolling at WMATA.... I get the initial delay because of the PowerWave Bankruptcy, but come on! http://wamu.org/news/15/04/15/metro_to_start_on_improvements_for_first_responder_radios_passenger_cell_service_in_january

And the support site is updated... welcome to LL! http://support.sprint.com/support/article/Find_and_update_the_software_version_on_your_Samsung_Galaxy_S_4/WServiceAdvisory_542_GKB65037?INTNAV=SU:DP:OV:UG:SamsungGalaxyS4:FindAndUpdateTheSoftwareVersionOnYourSamsungGalaxy

Maybe in the long, long run, but the current orders should already be covered by existing agreements. Plus, combining with Softbank's purchasing power it should be relatively moot. Time will tell though...

I'm hoping for Orange Caraibes or Digicel for strong Caribbean coverage.

So it is basically like you never left the US (except on GSM), usage wise.... I need to travel to Japan more.
