I don't think I've ever seen a new design get pushed, and then reverted because of problems. This might be here to stay. Sent from my iPhone 6+

One word: "CurrenC." CVS, Walmart, and Best Buy can suck it. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Yeah, it's fantastic, and it's on the top ten list why I'll never daily drive android. Other than the convenience of my debit card on Apple pay, I have several reward cards on there. We have a chain of gas stations (I believe they're in Michigan, too) called Speedway. It's my most used reward card, and whenever I'm near one, it shows up on the lock screen automatically. Swipe, and the QR code is there for the clerk to scan. I also buy movie tickets on fandango, and the tickets go into passbook to be scanned at the theater. And, Walgreens is the only store where I don't need a wallet in my pocket. When I'm at the register, my reward card is there, along with Apple pay to complete the purchase. I wish every business had Apple pay/reward cards in passbook. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Does it piss anyone else off that Apple doesn't have some kind of popup blocker/redirect blocker for these stupid websites that are allowed to open the App Store? I'm tired of reading websites, and then suddenly being prompted to download "clash of clans," "candy crush," or "draft kings." Sent from my iPhone 6+

Unless it can be done from my phone, I'm stuck. I never use a computer. Sent from my iPhone 6+

K, cool. Can't browse the forums because it crashes. I've sent that same crash report about 12 times. I hope they're not annoyed. Sent from my iPhone 6+

I can't figure out how to see the whole forum? Anyone know? Eliminating the "forums" button seems quite counter productive. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Um, the new tapatalk update really sucks. I would update with caution. They made it really tough to navigate the forums. [emoji107] Sent from my iPhone 6+

When the phone first came out, it always grabbed LTE less than a minute after losing LTE. Then they released some kind of new carrier update that ruined that. Now it's back to that standard 5 minute scan. Sent from my iPhone 6+

From the main screen where you see your forum accounts, click the settings icon. Signature. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Site ids might be tough because of not being sure what site serves an area. How about sponsor map screen shots with something drawn on the map? If there's a way to see if we've even had an optimization team come through here, I'd love to know. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Indeed. I think our market is at a point now where if you aren't getting band 26 from your closest site, you'll get it from the next. It's pretty widespread, and I'd say near 100% of the towers. I've been to every corner of this market and in between several times since March, and I've yet to not find band 26. It is possibly the phones. If signal on pcs is fading away, why isn't there an instruction to scan for 26? If you're on a very weak 25 signal and initiate a data transfer, why does it sit there and suffer when it would get better results from 26, usually falling on its face before grabbing 3G? Here's another nearly a year observation of mine, and it may be the sites are configured wrong: when sprints pcs block signal is getting low, i almost always see my phone jump to the former U.S. Cellular spectrum, which tends to be about 2-3dbm stronger on every site. It's almost always a scenario where it needs 26, and not a slightly stronger 25 carrier. That jump to the usc spectrum happens flawlessly. Maybe they're setup to grab the next carrier card slot on low signal, and that usc card is there, whereas other markets have 26 in that slot? I'm just a user and not a network technician, so maybe I'm way off. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Who knows. We've been deployed for a little over 2 years now with band 26 for 9 months and nothing really seems different. Same dead spots/slow speeds/LTE drops/pocket 3G in the same places. I don't know if it's the network or phones not being able to deal with 3 different bands the way Sprint wants. I've had numerous phones on Sprint and for the most part, they behave the same way. T-Mobile launched LTE here 7/13 lightning fast and then optimized everything shortly thereafter, and it works great in this area. I want Sprint to win here, but it seems like they're in some sort of stall on network activity other than the rapid, and I mean REALLY rapid Sprint band 41 installations. Maybe they're waiting until that is done to optimize everything at once? Sent from my iPhone 6+

Exactly. T-Mobile has their network tuned here whereas Sprint really doesn't. Plus, 4x2 MIMO helps a lot with fringe performance and other network factors. Sent from my iPhone 6+

I haven't been to Chinatown in quite some time. But it's easy to see why service could be poor around 33/Halsted. There was an LTE site over there that was deactivated/moved and the new site hasn't received LTE yet. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Let's just play with some theoretical numbers. If you and I are on the same sector, and it has a max throughput of 70mbps download, and I'm downloading something massive that's using 60mbps. When you start using your phone, wouldn't you only be able to access to remaining 10, or does it chop my bandwidth down so that you and I have an equal share? Of course, this is theoretical, and airlink conditions are perfect. Sent from my iPhone 6+

I didn't really mean throttling abusive users (sorry if it read that way). What I meant was, every single person has a bandwidth cap while on band 41. Nobody needs to download at 120 whatever Mbps. Spread it out amongst everyone connected to that sector. Better usability, especially in crowded places will please more customers than just being able to rip a triple-digit speedtest for bragging rights. Sent from my iPhone 6+

I think I've answered this in here before. Not sure if it was you. Sprint is aware of some new iPhones not being able to connect to band 41, or having a hard time holding the connection. Sprint claims that an update (carrier bundle) should be pushed to devices soon (so they claim) to rectify the problem. Other than being at the mercy of Sprint's software team, you could try and ask for a new SIM card from a Sprint store. Tell the rep what's going on, and that you think you may have a bad SIM. Also, ask them to reprovision your phone in their system. Make sure all the numbers (sim, imei, serial) match up. If that all fails, and doesn't solve your problem, take it to Apple, and explain your issue to them. They may be able to test the device for radio malfunction, and swap out your phone with a new one.

I know that the speedtest app creates a stupid pissing contest amongst wireless customers, but I honestly feel that even at the point of multiple band 41 carriers/CA, no user should be allowed max bandwidth. Why not just cap it at a reasonable speed. Let everyone have a fair share of the available bandwidth, instead of one guy pulling 100mbps+ so that he can illegally feed his home ISP needs.

These pants should not only charge, but should include wifi, too. We will implement a Sprint Novatel MiFi 500 into one of the pockets, and have a graphic over the crotch that says "ask me about my hotspot." Sent from my iPhone 6+

Yeah, I just bought a new pair last weekend. I didn't do the 6+ pocket test until I got home because I forgot, and I had the phone in a coat pocket. About 1" of the phone sticks out of the front pocket. Oh well. #firstworldproblems Sent from my iPhone 6+

And I didn't even create a caption. I'm not good at these, but I'll take a stab... "Look at this 65/12 speedtest from up here! Ok, I'm ready to come down now. My brain feels hot." Sent from my iPhone 6+

Does anyone think that human evolution will give us longer fingers, more specifically, a really long thumb from all these phones? I bet humans have a 10" thumb in a few thousand years. Sent from my iPhone 6+

I use it for various things. Since it works with everything, I sometimes use it instead of a USB memory stick just because it's so easily accessible from most places. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Ugh, I'm so close to having all of my daily apps updated to the 6+ screen. I think I'm just missing eBay, PayPal, speedtest, myradar, and wunderground. Let's go! Sent from my iPhone 6+
