  1. If you become a sponsor here, you'll see where every Sprint tower is located, and based on the intersection you provided earlier, I can kind of the see the issue you're experiencing. That's fantastic how they sent people to your house to diagnose the problem, and I've personally starting seeing a few Ericson trucks around the area for the first time ever. A few of my dead zones have been slightly improving, so maybe they're finally tuning some sites. Also, that's great news about her acknowledging the problem with HD voice and wifi calling not playing nicely together. That needs to be fixed. Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
  2. I was looking at this chart yesterday, and it desperately needs to be fixed. 2-5 business days or 9/28-10-2? Today is 10/1, so it's a bit confusing. Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
  3. If you downgrade your OS, does that revert the carrier bundle to whatever came with it? Or, does the newest carrier bundle always stick? Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
  4. I noticed the same problem on my 6+ yesterday after updating. Here we go again. Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
  5. That's because the Verizon model doesn't even support band 41. You should go back and tell Apple they gave you the wrong model. They should be able to see you brought in a Sprint version. Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
  6. Carrier bundle in 9.0.2 is 21.3 Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
  7. Nope. Unless something is buried in field test, and we haven't found it yet. Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
  8. Most of us do. Mine went from normal, to $600, to $1024 in a few days for 1 line/iPhone 6+. It's collateral for the device you have that you need to return. Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
  9. Apparently, the baseband inside my new phone got toasted (according to Apple support). I was at home last night when my phone went to "No Service." I tried to restore on several different computers, and it won't finish installing without an error. Looks like I have to swap out my phone on Saturday. :/ Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
  10. Carrier aggregation does not mean greater than 80 Mb per second. You can be on carrier aggregation and be less than 80 Mb per second. All you need to know is if your connected tower has two band 41 carriers. If it does, you will be aggregating carriers Sent from my iPhone 6s
  11. did you buy a plus or regular? Sent from my iPhone 6s
  12. I don't think there's a wait list. I was told once by a genius that Apple stores get a separate stock for replacements. Sent from my iPhone 6s
  13. Yeah, now I see it, too. Apple has the best warranty service in the business, and there's no such thing as being picky about a dark spot on your $900 phone. Go have it swapped out. I'd make the appointment online, as they're probably slammed this time of year. Sent from my iPhone 6s
  14. The darker pixels around "bold text?" Or somewhere else. Sent from my iPhone 6s
  15. I do a fresh build every iOS, so I had my fresh one ready for the new phone. But, as long as your backup matches os versions you're fine. I ran a backup on my 6/9.01, powered up the 6s, skipped through all the setup crap, setup as new phone just to get to the home screen, then did an update to 9.0.1. Finished that, factory reset to get back to setup, then I restored the backup. Edit: I have zero problems with the restore, and zero lag. Sent from my iPhone 6s
  16. Hallelujah! Sensorly just received an iOS 9/iPhone 6-6+ screen update. Still no mapping feature, but it at least looks nice. Sent from my iPhone 6s
  17. You certainly can delete it from your account right from your iPhone to restore HD calling: go to settings - phone - wifi calling, then "update emergency address." A webpage will pop up asking you to enter your address. Scroll to the bottom of that page to find "remove wifi calling service" (or something along those lines). After removing, your phone should automatically perform a profile refresh (you'll see your signal disappear and reappear). Dial a ##update# just to be sure. Do this on both phones. Edit: I jumped the gun, and only read your first sentence. You need to do this on both phones, and you should be good to go. This is how I did it with my 2 lines, and it restored HD calling.

  18. Apple sold 13 million iPhones this weekend, shattering their record from last year. [emoji106]???? http://money.cnn.com/2015/09/28/technology/apple-13-million-6s-sales/index.html?iid=hp-stack-dom Sent from my iPhone 6s
  19. Not always. It's more of a reflection on network tuning and strength -- not speed. Sent from my iPhone 6s
  20. Spent another day with Sprint iPhone 6 users. Every single time they were on 3G, I wasn't. [emoji106]???? Sent from my iPhone 6s
  21. The only sure fire way without a speed test is to see if you're on the second band 41 carrier EARFCN. If you're connected to carrier #2, you're on CA. You could be using CA if you see your market's original band 41 carrier EARFCN, but you'd need a speed test to verify that tower is aggregating with a second carrier. Sent from my iPhone 6s
  22. Also, my field test screen seems to be normal. I had those weird numbers at first, but not anymore? At least for now. Sent from my iPhone 6s
  23. Yeah, I'm done worrying about it. I'm happy with my phone, my bill, and my service. If I drop to 3G, an airplane toggle doesn't bother me if I need high-speed data. I have fast speeds everywhere, hd voice, and my calls don't drop. I just think Sprint has the potential to really nail down this market and others with not only blazing speeds, but really strong LTE coverage with their low-band spectrum, too. They employ engineers for this stuff, and I'm quite sure they know what they're doing. I'm just a guy with an iPhone and an idea. Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
  24. Man, I just have to mention how happy I am with this phone. Everything about it is perfect so far. Every bug or stutter on iOS 9.0.1 is completely gone, and this thing runs smooth as butter. The RF performance is definitely better than the 6, and when I was out and about today, I didn't drop to 3G nearly as much as usual. 3D Touch is really cool, and I didn't think the fingerprint scanner could be this fast. It's scary fast. Like, can't even click the home button lightly and quickly without going right to the home page. It used to be click, thumb, wait. Plus, getting 80-100mbps on my couch is a plus. Great job, Apple. Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
  25. A few people have posted about this, and it looks like field test is absolutely f*cked. Like, bad. No band, no carrier bandwidth size, or TX antennas. Argh. Maybe I jinxed it on Thursday when I was wishing for Apple to finally fix field test. Sent from my iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
