Thanks. Unless anybody else has any suggestions I'll go ahead and grab one of those.

Also, sorry for thread hijacking. It just felt kindof related.

I still have coverage where I am at. What's a good unit to buy?

Looks like new castle on 13 tower 10 and tower 11 off 95 near wil

Its been on for at least 2 weeks. Before I even got my Note 3

Does anyone know if I buy a hotspot from eBay if I can register it with a Clear plan?

Hopefully someone will figure out a way to achieve root without triggering that eFuse Knox trigger permanently.

 

I would be happy just with root so I can use the Xposed framework, Greenify, Titanium, and a few others. I don't mind TouchWiz so much b/c I just use Hololauncher.

I rooted my phone on Friday (#yolo). I have insurance on my phone so if something happens, I'm covered.

http://www.squaretrade.com/ is a good alternative to Asurion.

Has anybody done a teardown yet to confirm there is no antennas/amlifiers for these bands?

You are more than welcome to crop them/resize them and PM me links to update my post if it bothers you that much.

I dunno if its been reported but band 26 and 41 are listed on the ##DATA## menu, but are disabled:

Finally!

In my area, the only PCS roaming is Cricket and Commnet. I cannot ever handoff to Sprint or vice versa on these. If I start a conversation on any of these two, I will stay connected to that network, even if I drive into Sprint coverage.

 

It's extremely problematic on Commnet, as they have poor coverage inside Sprint coverage areas. They tend to place sites outside of Verizon/Sprint coverage to sell roaming to them. So I will get dropped when the roaming signal finally runs out, and then I have to wait for my device to scan and connect to Sprint native or another roaming carrier to call back and continue.

 

Also, in my area, we have old Alltel and Verizon roaming on 850 Cellular. These never hand off to anything.

 

When making an outgoing call when roaming, I have to check which carrier I'm on first. Then I have to decide if that carrier has continuous coverage along my route, knowing it will not handoff to another roaming carrier or to Sprint. In many instances while roaming, I will cycle airplane mode to get a better carrier. Because Commnet is really bad for me as none of their sites overlap. So I cannot keep a phone call from one site to the next. I try to get Verizon as much as possible so I can keep the conversation as long as I need to.

 

When I get an incoming call while roaming, there is nothing I can do. I just warn the caller that I may lose service and that I'll call them back. I pretty much know every roaming seam in all of Northern New Mexico.

Make a custom PRL that lowers priority or gets rid of the Commet towers altogether.

I might be making a quick tut on that soon.

I sent payment on the 12th but haven't received any response.

Oh oh

I PM'd ya but no response
