    Still 51099 for me on an iPhone 5 even after forcing update.
  2. nobius
    I wonder what's different from 51098 to 51099?
  3. nobius
    Glad I never forced a change. Still on 51098 here.

    I'm a front pocket guy and haven't had any issues with bending.

    The iPhone 5s and 5c are actually dual-band phones. Sent from my iPad/iPhone using Tapatalk

    How is it compared to the Air? Thinking about getting my wife a mini for her birthday.

    800/1900 LTE only.

    Sorry didn't know you were on iPad. Correct, you can't find out on iPad unless you are jail broken.

    Dial *3001#12345#* and then Call. This takes you into Field Test Tap Serving Cell Info and look at the Frequency Band Indicator.

    you can use the Engineering screen.

    I came from an iPad 2 so it is even more of an improvement.

    I bought the iPad Air today. I ended up getting the 32GB Wifi-only model. It's just too easy to just share somebody's phone's Internet connection when there's no Wifi around. I had toyed with getting the new model iPad mini, but because of the iPad Air's reduced width and weight, it seems like I'm holding a mini by comparison. Much lighter, and the screen is amazing.

    I'd contact Apple Care. You can also chat with them online.

    The iPhone 5c and 5s come with LTE 800. No update needed.

    Since there was a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth over the latest iPhone not being Tri-band, I found this press release about Sprint's Spark interesting: The press release is a good read as there's a lot of technical info, but I found this part key for Apple users worried about missing out on the 2500 band (emphasis below is mine) At three years to roll 2500 out everywhere, I'm not losing sleep over the newest Apple products "only" being dual-band.

    Do they play fine in iTunes on the desktop? Have you tried going into the iTunes Store settings on the mini and revalidated your credentials? It sounds like the music isn't authorized. Do you have the issue with normal MP3s or just song purchases?

    The newest iPhones have both 800 & 1900 on LTE, so when it does come around there you'll have 2 of the 3 LTE bands that Sprint uses. As Mobilesolutions alluded to, the latest iPhones don't use LTE 2500, which is what those Wimax towers there use now. It will probably be an improvement on your current phone, but not as good as a tri-band phone. I have an iPhone that only has 1 LTE band and do fine, but to each his own. No idea on how long the 4G rollout to SLC will be though, so that's up to you whether to stick with Sprint or go to Verizon though.

    I'm not entirely sure what's going on with that. Sensorly has said that Apple doesn't provide public API access to the signal strength, yet RM is somehow able to do it. I'd love to use Sensorly, but until that's worked out, RM it is.
  19. nobius
    FYI the new iOS update 7.0.3 broke the Signal monitor portion of RM (speed tests still work). When I reported it this morning, I got an email from RM that there will be an updated version of the software that fixes it. The update supposedly comes out today, so if you use RootMetrics hold off on mapping anything until the update.

    I'd respond but I don't want my post deleted.

    These days it's my secondary computer. I use it mostly for reading emails and short replies to emails, light data entry, presentations, consuming media, etc. If I downsized it would purely be for portability reasons since the internals appear to be the same. The new models don't come out until November 1st so I have time to research them further.

    I agree that the storage default needs to go up. 32GB is the minimum storage I'll buy in a device. I've toyed with getting an iPad mini to replace my iPad 2, and I'm disappointed that they raised the default price of the mini to $399 from $329. So now it's more about portability than price when deciding between the iPad Air and the mini. They both use the same A7 chip, both have the same cameras, etc. I'll wait until I can use both in a store and see if the smaller screen size of the mini is too small. I was able to downsize from a 15.2" Powerbook to a 13.3" Macbook, so I'm hoping I can downsize here as well.

    Anyone have an iPad with Sprint or know how it's pay-as-you-go plan works for tablets? Right now I have an iPad 2 on Verizon, and the new AT&T tablet plan at $5/250MB day and its 1GB 3 month option fits my needs pretty well.

    I would rather they open up Apple TV with an App Store. Now that they have MLS on there I don't have to use airplay anymore, but being able to download iOS apps and games to use on your television would really shake up the home entertainment industry.
