  1. I just checked sensorly out to see the coverage in my area. No 4g LTE in my home area(Point Loma), but looks like there is 4gLTE in the area where I work(Downtown),but I'm ok with that since its unlimited data and my grandfathered unlimited plan with Verizon was taken away unless I wanted to pay full price for a phone,no thanks Verizon.

    There looks like there is some active in point loma according to sensorly. If you become a S4GRU sponsor you could look at which sites active and future progress. Keep in mind sensorly is mapped by it's users so it is possible coverage is a little better.

  2. Being so new sprint orders a stash of new ones for when problems like this come up. I dunno how they plan on refurbing these anyways since they can't be opened.

     

     

    New phones are usually in boxes IIRC. Not that it matters but was that the only reason you thought it was new?

     

     

    I was told it would be a referb, but when I received the device it was new not refurbished. The phone came in an envelope, no box.

    When I was still working at Sprint I remember the refurbished ones came in an envelope and new ones came in the original box same as when it was originally purchased. I know when new phones came out replacements new until enough was sent to assurion and then they became refurbs. Also when new phones came out for the first 60-90 days from launch techs were not supposed to open them up, just order a replacement usually being new. They could have changed the process, I left in the middle May.

  3. happened to my top speaker. I never turned the volume all the way up. Sprint replaced my device. I have insurance.

    With a new one or an assurion refurbished?

  4. Damn, you guys were right. For owning the one for almost a week now I would have to say I am definitely warning up to blinkfeed. I like that it is just the article with the option to go to the main article if you want to read the comments. On another note, has anyone heard about the speakers being blown out? Since this phone is hard to fix if not impossible, I never put the volume all the way up to be on the safe side.

    Oops, wrong thread :-P

  6. Is it my imagination or has the LTE additions to NV cell sites become very slow?  I haven't noticed any new LTE coverage in my area of Orange County in at least a couple of months.  Seems like they got a bunch of LTE added in a short period of time and then nothing since.

    I have noticed the samething. Hopefully things will speed back up now that the Softbank/Sprint/Clearwire is finally approved and is headed for completion this month.

  7. 4.2.2 isnt much of an upgrade..really just added toggles, what im wishing for is a radio update 

     

    There is a change with the apps and how they work in the bottom tray. There is supposed also supposed to be an added long press the home button for menu and a home/swipe up for GoogleNow. I do hope for a radio update also. 

  8. During the day, I'm not a heavy user since I've got about 5 different computers and my iPad to choose from. When I get home at the end of the day, my battery is usually between 60 and 80%. That's after 10 hours off the charger. I do not ever use Power Saver except when it forces it when the battery is below 15%. On a heavy use day, when I'm not in the office, I get home with about 40-50% batter life remaining.

     

    That's pretty good. I've just been downloading all my usual apps and what not which drains. I'm loving the phone so far. I just wish 4.2.2 was out for us already.

  9. Hey Gang, I just wanted to ask what kind of battery life you are experiencing. I haven't had the phone too long and I "think" it is pretty but it is hard to tell because I can't put the device down. How many of you keep the power save on all the time and what performance changes are noticeable?

  10. Sprint's connection in Orange on Tustin and Katella has been really shitty lately and they say nothing is wrong over there. I get 0 bars often, roam frequently, and data switches between 1x, 3G, and 4G. Even after Sprint refreshed my device remotely and had me do an PRL and Profile update, it's still bad.

     

    I thought it may be somewhat due to mods on my S4 but my boss is having the same problem on her stock iPhone 5.

     

    Any one know what's going on with Sprint over in that area?

     

    This usually indicates they are working on the site that services that area, but I can't say for sure. Newport Beach's 3g has been really slow lately near Hoag hospital so hopefully that are working on the site for that area also. =]]

  11. Same with me, I just checked for any updates and nothing. I can ask my old coworkers if there is anything in the playbook for updates(although it would it would probably leak before employees know). I have noticed my One will connect to 4g but when I pick it up it drops to 3g. If I can get it to keep and do a speed test it will get around 7mps which is highly usable. One thing to note is I live in the middle of three lte sites and I am literally in the weakest point for all three of them. I don't have a case yet so hopefully that will help when I added, much better connectivity than the EVO though.

  12. Thank you, thank you. I just setup the TV remove app it and it awesome. I didn't realize that it shows the shows currently playing and how far into the show it is. I can't wait until it picks up on my favorite channels and then just recommends those. I am going to give it a show with stock at first to see how I like it since the double tap still keeps the recent apps. When I worked for Sprint a few months ago the store manager picked me and I was supposed to get the phone for free but then before I got it the DM transferred me and it had to go to another employee in that store, oh well. 

  13. I finally bit the bullet and though the HTC One, coming from the EVO lte. I love the phone so far. I don't miss the recent app at all. I haven't set up blinkfeed yet to see how I like it. I got a cruzerlite case but I will replace it soon with a commuter.

  14. I see it when I take a screenshot. No idea why though. 

     

     

    I also see it on the TF300t since the update to 4.22

     

    hmmmmmmm. I have done some research but it is only forums with people throwing guesses that are way off such as GPS. I personally only see it when I stream videos like youtube or with chrome on sites that are supported.

  15. I know this was covered at some point, does the one support svdo? I know once lte coverage is more concentrated it won't matter but for the time being at don't have lte in many places.

     

    Thanks in advance.

  16. Those of you with a nexus 7/10, have you seen the little grey dot in the top left side of the notification bar? I can't seem to find any articles on what it is or what the device is doing. Any clues?

  17. I just noticed the strangest thing. With an Incipio Dual Pro Shine, there's a noticeable drop in signal. I thought I was crazy but I could tell quite a difference with the case on vs. off by looking at the dbs. The silicone had a minimal impact, probably within a margin of error, but the plastic shell that goes over it had the largest impact on signal with a drop of about 10+ dbs. In my case (no pun intended) it had an effect on acquiring a 4g signal as well.

     

    Dang, making me double think picking up the ONE. I was going to go pick it up tomorrow...I wonder if the commuter otterbox would have the same affect.

  18. In pretty sure that every flagship HTC device that is released from here on out well have them.

     

    True, when do you think the next flagship is? Later this year for the rumored T6 if true, or sometime  in 2014?
