Do you think that Sprint should just throw the doors wide open, putting the responsibility upon the end users by allowing any and all bring your own devices -- even those that may be greatly compromised in Sprint centric CDMA2000 band class or LTE band capabilities?

My thought is that if a device is clean (not stolen, etc) and supports all the Sprint's bands, why not?  If a user has an older device that doesn't support the current communication bands, then don't allow it.

Shouldn't Sprint be able to get a list of IMEI's from the manufactures of devices that support the two CDMA2000 and three LTE bands (well 5 or 6 if you include CCA)?

Since Sprint doesn't offer this device or have the IMEI in the whitelist, what is the attempted work around going to be to get it activated?  Are you working with an inside source or is the goal to be an above the board process that Joe Schmo can do with asking the right people?

I love the new LTE # feature in the status bar. To be able to see the LTE band number there is awesome. I am consistently in 4 LTE bands with AT&T. This is really neat. It's what I always wanted. Merry Christmas to me!!!

 

I know this was a lot of work since each band would have unique images for every number. Good job!

agreed, just a glance showed me a new B41 site either live or in testing that i'm just barely connecting to at the office.

Sitting downtown on the roof of Romney and I look down to see a B41 connection.  My signal check mapping tells me that it is the Frandor tower by the MSU baseball field.  Great speeds, 23mbs down  11 mbs up

Sounds like an over subscribed site. Need a second B25 carrier or B41 being added

I've been having issues for a few weeks with duplicate posts, connection errors and you are not a member of this community error

Sprint assigned PLMN-ID's are

 

• 310-120
• 311-490
• 311-870
• 311-880
• 312-190
• 312-530

8T8Rs and rrus mounted at Portland/Kent St/I96

I noticed recently that all my BSL locations are all wrong. They are showing offset locations like before the NV upgrades. Anybody else?

B41 on Grand River and Ingersol is live on all three sectors this morning.

Hand offs between the GR switch and Lansing switch appear to be normal today

I'm having trouble transitioning from the GR switch at Portland to the Lansing switch at Grange Rd. The past few days I go roaming and have to airplane mode to get back on Sprint. Calls are dropping rather than handing off too. This happened for awhile during NV1.0

Tapatalk is killing me, four or five posts from yesterday got lost...

I need a spectrum analyzer to see what Sprint is currently using in the B block 30mhz.

New theory on the lugnut site. I don't see any new antennas, however it looks like the camouflaged pre-NV antennas may have been removed. The boom crane was still there, but all packed up when I left work. Hopefully they cine back today or Monday to do more work.

Edit in: confirmed legacy antennas were removed. No weekend work or anything today, boom lift is still there. This site needs B41 so bad, I really hope they come back to install it.

According to http://www.deccanchronicle.com/141107/technology-mobiles-and-tabs/article/samsung-galaxy-s4-confirmed-receive-android-lollipop, the S4 exynos is getting the lollipop upgrade. Snapdragon bar based S4s are not confirmed or denied.

i have a LG G Flex and it only supports B25, B26, and B41. Unless of course like gnoj said its seeing USCC B5 which is a subset of B26.

Just to add, i checked a coworkers Nexus 5 and the 233 PCI is showing up on his phone too, so at least its not just mine

Next step is to find a USCC customer with a B5 LTE Android device and get SCP on that phone

I wonder if they could be the PCIs for USCC B5 LTE sites? The device is seeing them but can't fully connect yet because the roaming agreement hasn't been finalized?

lol trust me thats were i jumped to initially just trying to rule stuff out first..... but yes, assuming these are real signals, i don't believe they are coming from sprint sites.....

My thought was a different network, but perhaps a management or testing network.  However, if your device is enabled for a multitude of LTE bands, then the radio could very easily see these other signals.  I remember Digiblur having screenshots of his N5 trying to connect to CSpire, then moving on due to authentication failing.

I don't do auto pay for anything, I don't like giving the ability to companies to access my bank account it whatever they see fit.

Everything gets tracked in quicken and reminders are a week to 10 days in advance of a bills due date.  I have some things that are auto pays but its my account sending a preset amount, not the company grabbing money.

I wonder what will happen with the protection sites in Iron Mountain, Ishpeming, Ironwood, Sault Ste Marie, Marquette, and Houghton/Hancock up in da U.P.?  Sprint has no native coverage up there, could shuttering the protection lead to license questions from the FCC?  Would Sprint make a small network in the urban areas of those towns with full build NV sites?  Will they toss up B41 LTE that is data only (until VoLTE)?

Do they have the spectrum to deploy a second PCS LTE carrier in Lansing?

If I remember from talking to AJ in the past, the spectrum in Lansing is from the Detroit 30Mhz block and there should be enough.

Boom crane has been up and down again, now working on the other side. I'm wondering if they are swapping out one of the NV1.0 antennas for an NV2.0 antenna, still just two antennas per sector.

Lots of activity downtown Lansing at the LugNut site today, boom crane has been up and down multiple times since this morning.  Cant tell if they are working on the high capacity NV1.0 install or hanging NV2.0 B41 antennas.

Speeds in downtown Lansing have been terrible again due to over subscription.  Not sure whey they didn't turn up a second B25 carrier.

Carefully read the top post, please.

B41 in mid Michigan is on channel 58978. I don't see that listed on the OP. I've got a screenshot if needed.

Revol-ting! Revol-ting!

Grand River and Ingersol B41 went live this morning.

Not sure why but tapatalk won't upload my screenshots

Edit in: looks like it was testing. Drove by again and no dice on connecting.
