  1. I just checked the status of it and found out they left it at my garage 40 minutes ago. So much for them absolutely requiring a signature.
  2. Sadly, I had that exact kind of thing happen to me when I was teenager. One my parents' independent living clients signed for a hard drive (person didn't even know what it was) and took it to their room. The only way I found out was a care worker saw it and told. It seems like forcing someone someone to be there to sign is no real protection against theft.
  3. If we had won the war of 1812, Canada would be part of the USA and they'd have to align frequency use with us.
  4. I got a similar text last night (though from 9355) on my Galaxy Note 4 and I haven't done any kind of rooting or romming to it - probably simply happened because I'm using hangouts for my text message client.
  5. Your comment made it sound like the 805 not having a modem was a die size limitation. The Snapdragon 800 and 801 have integrated modems already. The 808 / 810 getting an integrated modem isn't purely about die shrink - the 805 didn't have one for a couple reasons. 1. It was originally developed towards targeting tablets with high performance needs. An integrated modem part is wasted on such products as most tablets are sold without a modem. 2. Rather than die size, the die shrink means the 808/810 are built on the same die process as the 9x35 - both are 20nm parts and thus can be done in one single monolithic SOC.
  6. I was just joking. If you can receive calls but can't dial out, perhaps you aren't including the area and country code in the number? In the past, when I was in some roaming areas, phone numbers that worked for me wouldn't dial out because I didn't explicitly have the 1-XXX (XXX being the area code I live in and was calling to), but they all worked fine when I was out of my area code but still on network. Since then, I've always included area code when I save a phone number in my phone book.
  7. Sprint had no native coverage in Sault Sainte Marie? Is it an affiliate because they show up as native coverage as far as my phone was concerned.
  8. N. Korea is on the no Wi-Fi calling list - maybe your GPS thinks it is in the DMZ?
  9. I'd bet part of the reason is the limited run of Note Edges that will be created. To do cat 6, the Note Edge uses mdm9635 which Qualcomm currently probably can't ship in large numbers. The 9635 is made using a 20nm silicon fabrication processes where as the 9625 in the regular note, and the iPhone 6 is built on the older, more stable, more productive 28nm node. Basically, that Apple couldn't get Qualcomm to pump out the 9635 for them over the 9625 tells you how supply constrained the part is.
  10. Samsung doesn't properly report the LTE band to the Android API so SignalCheck Pro can't tell when you have Band 41 LTE. One way to check is if the 3rd digit in the GCI is odd (since the digit is in Hex B - 11, D - 13, and F - 15 count as odd).
  11. I have a similar issue that happens around the same time frame. Restarting the phone will temporarily fix it. I looked it up, and it seems that Galaxy S5 has had a similar issue since a youtube update that happened in July/August. People have a support ticket in with Youtube.
  12. I got Band 41 off US-23 near Whitmore Lake: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/1013578626 I'm not sure which tower it came from, but the one I was at had two white service vans parked inside the tower's fence.
  13. I went to take a look at my local tower and notice they might need to update their signs
  14. I pulled the trigger and found the map pretty good. I figured the site clueing me in on the Galaxy Note 4 trade-in deal means I'm still ahead $150 even after paying for the map.
  15. For future reference, Sprint international WiFi calling includes domestic WiFi calling.
  16. Picked my up today - ended up paying nothing but tax for it on contract. Best Buy gave me $200 for the phone trade in deal, than added $50 to it for reward zone, and then there was a $50 off for signing my phone number up with their upgrade promotions email earlier in the year. Sweet. No problems getting it, they guy did say that some people who preordered won't get their order filled on the first shipment but Best Buy will still honor the promotion.
  17. Same as jtf21 said, plus I registered my number with Best Buy upgrades at the begining of the year and so they'll take an additional $50 off my upgrade price, so I'm be getting the Note 4 for $50. It also sounds like Best Buy is planning on being more lenient on the definition of trade in device. As far as non-contract price - Best Buy will match local retailers price on phones, so you can still get it for $720 off contract if you tell them. The real problem is easy pay, which Best Buy can't do anything about, so they can't give you the Samsung rebate on it. I've usually used Best Buy in the past because they always did instant rebates instead of Sprint's old policy of mail in rebates for part of the phone's price. The two times way back in the early 2000s that I upgraded at a Sprint store, they initially rejected or lost my upgrade rebate and I had to fight for an additional month to get it (beyond the 4-8 weeks). I think their old upgrade policy was part of why Sprint had such a low reputation before - basically the upgrade rebate department was run by another company with most of the staff in India, and they made money by DENYING your rebate. They had no incentive to make the process work smoothly.
  18. Anyone else find it kind of funny the Nexus 6 has more pixels than the Nexus 9?
  19. Anandtech has their review up http://www.anandtech.com/show/8613/the-samsung-galaxy-note-4-review
  20. It could be taken either way - it is a very ambiguous pronoun. It wouldn't surprise me to see a writer, particularly for a non-tech site like Forbes, refer to different capacities as different devices. Generally, I'd call it bad writing style to use an antecedent that dangles back to a different paragraph. In a comment response to someone, he said, "Sorry, I didn’t get any info on the Nexus 6 other than that it’s being launched alongside the Nexus 9 tomorrow. I imagine the pre-order schedules for both devices will be similar."
  21. Both as in both the 16GB version and the 32GB LTE version.
  22. And Best Buy is back to $299.99. Wonder what is going on over there. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?_dyncharset=UTF-8&_dynSessConf=-1609186183240562994&id=pcat17071&type=page&ks=960&st=galaxy+note+4&sc=Global&cp=1&sp=&qp=modelfamily_facet%3DModel+Family~Samsung+Galaxy+Note+4%5Ecarrier_facet%3DCarrier~Sprint&list=y&usc=All+Categories&nrp=15&iht=n&seeAll=
  23. Yes, It is known. http://i.imgur.com/S3gJBO1.gif
  24. Interesting, I emailed them about the Sprint price change asking if they would change it. I asked at 10:31AM today, but received no reply.
