I had one instance yesterday where I opened a text message and was unable to reply. The entire field at the bottom of the screen was missing. Had to back out of the thread and go back into it before it showed up. I'm also having problems with Snapchat not sending text or locally stored photos, only those taken from within the app and immediately sent. Oddly though, using the network instead of wifi has helped to solve that issue.

Not sure if it's related to the public beta 3 version of iOS or just a fluke, but is anyone else having problems with SMS text messages? Most of my friends and family have iPhones and iMessages have been sending/receiving fine, but I noticed I was having trouble sending out regular text messages. They kept saying send fail repeatedly. Turned my phone off and back on and in came 5 missed texts from within the past 24 hours.

My phone has been acting funny after the beta 2 update. I know the most common is the gap between the top row of apps and the row of info at the top. That doesn't bother me as much because opening apps forces it to fix itself. Now I'm showing wifi and LTE both at the same time. I also have apps that randomly crash now and Bluetooth problems connecting to vehicles.

My one request that I have for iOS 9 is that they add a low power mode toggle to the control center. Just having the notification pop up and then having to go digging for it if I decline at the time is more work than need be.

Or just give the user control as far as what they want their toggles to be...

I wish it was more automatic and would turn on and off when the battery falls or raises above a set percentage

To update, just got my email that my router has shipped!

Airave came in last night, taking it back to UPS to return

I tried calling today and was told that these are in a "trial period" and that she was not able to send any out at this time. She then offered an airave...

I called the 866-556-7310 number mentioned a few pages back and the guy I spoke with said I don't have the offer listed on my account, but that we would put in a request for the device anyways and would get back with me in 1-3 hours if I get denied. He verified my information and said if I get approved, he will simply ship the device. Phone call took all of 6 minutes.

Sprint's Claure: Unlimited prices might go up later this year; network is getting better

http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/sprints-claure-unlimited-prices-might-go-later-year-network-getting-better/2015-06-19

I don't see how doing away with unlimited would cause any change in the network's performance. If someone tried to argue that an unlimited user would have a point where they stop burdening the network, then I would simply argue that with everyone having a new allowance at the beginning of their new cycle and with everyone having a staggered cycle across the nation, that there would be no change noticed on a national scale to the network. The noticed effects would only be on a specific site where the heavy user repeatedly hinders the network once that user reaches the end of their allotment AND ONLY if that user decides to not use beyond their allotment and pay overage charges . Removing the unlimited plan and forcing a charge of a data bucket would only be a financial gain to Sprint.

If they can't cancel it then ask them to send you a pre paid return kit.

she told me to just deny the package when it came in so that it gets returned to sender

When I first spoke to the lady, I told her I was calling to ask if I qualified for the Sprint Connect router and she started asking some questions. I belive the miscommunication came when she asked if I ever had trouble connecting to the network and I told her that my phone and my cable modem will have times where they don't get along and I will get disconnected from the wifi and if I'm on a phone call, it gets dropped. The purpose for the Sprint Connect router is to enable better and more reliable connection to the wifi with the phones is it not?

Call again.

I will try and call again. I first need to deny receiving the Airave the lady ordered for me and said was unable to cancel. She asked me some questions and then went on filling out stuff and went to give me details on what I should do once the device gets here and never told me what it was she was sending me so I asked and she told me I don't qualify for the router and I told her I don't need an Airave.

You must have devices with the WiFi calling feature turned on, active on your account. 

I do. I have the iphone 6 plus with wifi calling turned on. It is also turned on within my account.

Just called to try and get one and I was told my account doesn't show qualified for the wifi router, only the Airave. Bit disappointed with all these reports of people being able to get one with ease.

As part of the NV upgrades, Sprint had new GPS antennas installed. They are placed either on the shelter roof or the site pad with the RBS and BBS cabinets. I would guess that's a TMA

I've been experiencing the same problems lately. My phone would just sit on no service. I'd try powering off and on and it would just sit at no signal. I've had problems with receiving SMS and connecting/staying connected to LTE. I'm back to "normal" as of today though.

Not to ruin the moment, but your screenshot shows that your phone was plugged in for some period of time since the last full charge...therefore it's kinda pointless

Now that the IBEZ issues have cleared up, what form will the retrofit take? Will they just add the 800MHz radio with its own antenna or will it entail removal and replacement of all of the existing 1900MHz-only antenna hardware and then adding the 800 radio?

 

I believe the confusion taylorcox75 has is due to the very first sentence. It explicitly implies that everything has been resolved

Looks like this could be a nationwide issue within Sprint...

If it's just a coincidence that others are having similar problems, do you think these hiccups could be related to TWC doing their TWC Maxx upgrades? I would be very surprised if they weren't the backhaul providers for this area.

I hope so. It's really annoying when you go from good LTE to no service and then come back at 3G

Anyone noticing random 4G outages? For the past couple weeks I will randomly lose any LTE signal B25, B26, and B41 and get dropped down to 3G. I'm currently stuck on CDMArevA when 20 minutes ago I had B41. Hoping my phone isn't messing up :/

Has anyone had Siri and Dictation stop working? I've gone into the settings and checked to make sure Siri is working and allowed access and she's still deaf. I can still talk on the phone and use Soundhound to identify music with no problems, but I can't use Siri or Dictation. I've tried researching online and seen comments about those two services using two microphones in the phone and when this problem happens, it's the secondary microphone used for detecting background noise that has gone faulty. Can anyone confirm this or have any possible fixes? I don't have Apple Care so I hope it's something they are aware of and will just give me a new phone :/

If you are too close to the tower, you may be out of the broadcast range of the signal. Think of it like baseball. The person next to bat stands to the back of the person batting so they aren't in the projected path of a hit ball

Yeah its market by market.  We all know this.  The poster didn't do his research.  Otherwise he would know Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, San Antonio, Kansas City all very mature, all have 800Mhz deployed in 1X for voice/text coverage and B26 for LTE coverage, all have B41, all have 8T8R.  That being said we know many areas that are behind and currently contain no deployment of B26 or 1x800 for better voice/text coverage, they are mainly tied to IBEZ areas and weird situations where spectrum owners haven't vacated their 800mhz holdings; South Florida, Los Angeles (San Bernadino), Las Vegas, Seattle, Detroit, etc.  If you do your research on this forum you know where Sprint kicks ass and you know where they lag.  Its not difficult.

Just letting you know that San Antonio just this month had it's first spotting of B26 on LTE and thus is not optimized or utilized on every tower, and to my knowledge we do not have any 8T8R towers in town because the majority of our B41 comes from converted WiMAX towers. Just because we are a major city or were one of the initial LTE cities for NV 1.0 doesn't mean we are being upgraded to NV 2.0 standards faster than other cities.

Really??? can you take a speed test when you pick it up again? I should be going to Dallas soon so hopefully I can test it there.

I would, but the sites here are old clearwire sites and haven't been upgraded to 8t8r and aren't utilizing an upgraded backhaul so I'd hate to under-represent B41. Just wanted to shoot down the notion that the new iPhones don't prefer the spark network. With B41 and the new B26 popping up here, my phone hardly goes to B25.

I have the iPhone 6 Plus and my phone LOVES B41 here in San Antonio. I have family in New Boston and can't wait until everything gets built out and optimized.

Yup. Did a speed test and it was slow by all means, but usable. Had a download speed of 0.68Mbps and upload speed of 0.53Mbps
