    My iPhone 5 doesn't have the hotspot option, but today I noticed that the option is available now. It wasn't before. Anyone else have this happen? Weird default hotspot name too. Sent from my iPad/iPhone using Tapatalk

    The missing Contacts integration is a head scratcher. I use Waze for navigation these days.

    TweetBot for Twitter Jet pack Joyride as a time waster.

    Yeah I haven't noticed anything different.

    Too little, too late. Switched from T-Mobile to Sprint in October.

    I had a prompt for a Carrier Update yesterday on my iPhone 5. Any idea what it did?

    And by seriously, I meant seriously? Couldn't edit my post.

    Seriously. I think right now since LTE is "new" for Sprint that people are paying more attention to if they are in 3G or LTE so look at the status bar more. Believe me you don't want flashy screens or icons. My Vibrant had an annoying startup AND shutdown Tmobile sound.

    Well they've only done about 30% LTE so far and almost no 3G. I've gotten as high as 20MB
  11. nobius
    It's in most of the city, but there are still lots of patches of 3G. I average 5MB down in most areas.

    Anyone have poor LTE today in Houston? Was 3G for me in some rock solid LTE areas.

    It took a while for me to get the hang of it, but now that's all I use.

    Have you tried the separated keyboard on the iPad (pinch two fingers on the keyboard and spread them out)? I use that more often than the full keyboard and got pretty good at thumb typing that way. I think Apple will wait and see what other sizes are gravitating toward before we have a iPhone / iPhone mini scenario.

    If there's anything I dislike about this site, it's the bias some people have about phones. I have an iPhone now, but I came from an Android phone so I've used both. Both are good, so it's a matter of taste and which ecosystem you already have. The more apps you have on one OS, the harder it is to switch. My main issue with Android is the difficulty in updating your phone. It's dependent on your carrier or on you perusing XDA. BTW, don't be surprised if your next phone is an iPhone. The integration between the iPad and iPhone is stellar, and universal apps run on both without rebuying. I think the one thing I miss from Android is SwiftKey for its predictive text.

    Had LTE all the way to Between Sealy and Brookshire this morning. Didn't pick it up on the way back so they're probably still working on it.

    I found this amusing as well.

    If you have a lot of movies and music on your Mac, get an Apple TV. I use mine for Netflix and for watching my movies. It can also do Hulu and a few sports services. If you won't be streaming from your computer, I hear great things about the Roku.

    I have the iPad 2 with Verizon. If you get Cellular, I suggest getting a different carrier than your phone because you then have a backup connection method. The cellular option is month-to-month with no contract so can be turned on/off at any time. Verizon doesn't even charge me taxes. It's exactly $20 for 1GB of data from them. If you get the cellular version, you also get GPS. I would get at least the 32GB model, which is what I have. iPad apps can be 500MB-1GB in size, especially games.

    Pretty good! My peaks have usually been in the 20s. I've been using RootMetrics to map out LTE speeds when I am driving around and usually average 5MB+ down and 2MB+ up in Houston.

    Looks good. My father plans to get one for his iPhone 5. I'm going to wait until I see his before getting one for myself. Would love to be able to use this at the beach.

    There's an updated version of Rootmetrics. Has anyone tried it? Sent from my iPad/iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sounds like she needs a LifeProof case.

    I have an iPad and recently got an iPhone 5. I was pleasantly surprised at how well iCloud worked at syncing all my settings over. I only had to configure Mail accounts after it was finished. Just make sure you're on WiFi and alot plenty of time for her iPhone to redownload everything. Took almost an hour for all my apps to redownload.

    BTW, if you try saving *3001#12345#* into one of your contacts it won't work when you tap on it to dial, BUT you can tap-and-hold, press copy, and then paste that on the Phone Dialer screen then tap send to get to the Field Test screen.
