Do existing Airrave users have any priority?

I thought the GS3 was the same generation as the Note 2 which had a physical hard wired SIM.

Has anyone ever gotten what Sprint's load balancing rules are? Is it based on usage, signal strength, thruput, bandwidth availability, etc? Seems really weird that B25 seems to be sitting here available and reliable, while B26 and B41 are wastelands.

As it turns out, both B26 and B41 are unusable. After disabling B26, my modem freaked out. I wish I had a screen video capture, SCP was just bouncing between any B41 site and carrier it could find, but never holding on as the network would attempt to balance it elsewhere. After seeing that for about 10mins, I disabled B41 I'm addition to B26. Once my device was on B25 it was as stable as I ever remember it. Here is a speedtest from the B25 connection. While on B41 a speedtest would never start. It appears that Sprint's network priority is B41->B26->B25. One would think that B25 would be preferred to B26 as it is a much larger and multiple carriers. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I remember driving 30 minutes to the first LTE site in the mid-Michigan area just to get an LTE signal. Then talking with a crew upgrading a different site and find out that they built the first one.

I think I tried this once before and my phone basically quit working, but I'll give it another shot.

I've been very frustrated my network connections recently. I'm not sure if its my device or the network load balancing, but my Nexus 6P latches on to LTE B26 and just sits there. I can be in downtown Lansing, MI with visual site to 3xCA, 8T8R, Triband, full build sites and still be parked on B26. Due to the Canadian/US border, we are limited to a 3x3MHz FDD LTE carrier that is so over loaded, it is essentially useless outside of the middle of the night. I remember when LTE was first launched and only B25 existed there were limitations on network changes due to CDMA. My recollection from those threads and conversations was due to CDMA and LTE not being forward/backwards compatible, an active data session couldn't hand up from CDMA to LTE until a "quiet" period occurred. However, if LTE was lost or too weak, the session could hand down to CDMA via eHRPD. I thought it was explained that once LTE was across the board and all three LTE bands were available, the network and devices would be able to pass active data sessions up and down (i.e. B26->B25->B41 and reverse) because LTE allows and supports this type of load balancing. Also, its best practice to get a device on the most largest available bandwidth to get their data session completed. What I experience is that my device will go to B41 or B25 when it is idle, I start using it and I have a good network connection for a few minutes, but quickly I end up back on B26 and with a less than stellar thru put. I.e. 45 secs for a website to load, minutes for a snap to send, 10 minutes for an app to update, etc. I can disable mobile data on my device, wait about 30 seconds, then I'm back on B25 or B41, turn on mobile data and experience the same thing with getting shuffled onto B26. Is my understanding of LTE active data sessions being able to change bands incorrect or is something else occurring? One caveat for my experience at home is that I live on the border of two separate Sprint switches/regions. To the west I have a B25 & B41 site, to the east I have a triband site. However, when I'm in Lansing for work and other stuff, I'm one a single switch/network.

I use mine for the hotspot to connect my nest thermo stat to, its also my streaming device for netflix/hulu/amazon prime. I use it for easy web browsing, recipes while cooking, etc. I wish I hadn't paid the 299 thru sprint, but I never thought to look at ebay.

Can the OP be updated with a tracker for how much has been donated? I'm broke for a paycheck or two, but I'll be putting a bit in the pot when i can.

A little birdie told me that the Test Drive is 7.0 with April Security patches.

any recommendations on a Glass and/or glass/LCD combo kit for this device. I've got a co-worker who does the replacements and she has volunteered to fix my phone. Just was to get a good screen/glass replacement. I've read iffy reviews from the kits on Amazon.

They have two different sign up links, one works and one doesn't

Windows 8 was not much of a hit with consumers. MS did that to just save face and get W10 adoption rate increased.

Looking deeper into this, the membership pages seem to be unavailable, any existing users having issues?

Anyone seen or heard from Mike recently? Just wondering if he has any updates on progress since his post in February

I still utilize this tablet. Since I don't have High Speed Internet, the 10GB hotspot is how my Nest thermostat stays connected. I wish I hadn't bought it directly from sprint as the $299 price point was about $150 too much, but i didn't consider BYOD at the time. I'm still on the $20/month plan, unless I can figure out an HSI solution, I can't see myself getting rid of it.

They went whole hog on NYC and that is almost a third of their outlay. Looking at the spreadsheet, looks like they got a lot of 10x10 too.

Wow, T-Mobile really went for it. They've got 15x15 or 20x20 in all Michigan markets. Has anyone created a legend of who the random names were buying for?

Its not like each new Windows OS or Office version is free

I'd gladly buy a new version of the app. So much has changed, the amount of work deserves some additional compensation.

Rumors were of a new test drive getting setup, I heard of some emails going to MXPE users who were a part of previous projects.

Wasn't M2M on Sprint B10 CDMA one of the talking points they used in the early NV1.0 days?
