I'm sorry you were laid off. It seems like Sprint may be leaning more on the device manufacturers for support and trying to get away from being a full service wireless provider.
After listening to the recent interview with the CFO, EasyPay is meant to lean more on the device manufacturer for marketing and support. It makes sense, and hopefully means Sprint will become more profitable because of it.
Heard this on the radio on my commute home just now:
U.S. government, Sprint to fight in court over wiretap expenses

Yes I noticed the same thing in Emeryville and Oakland near the Bay Bridge. You should contact Sprint's customer support. Tell them you are having audio quality issues and you want to file a ticket.
If you are coming to SF with a Nexus 5, install the .15 baseband discussed in the LG Google Nexus 5 thread and leave your phone in 3G mode. When you are in the financial district, turn it over to LTE mode, and enjoy the B41. It's nice!
Yeah, they really are. Sprint should seriously dump the coverage maps they're using now. They were probably cool a decade ago when mapquest had the same features, but now they're just old looking.
Yes. I only use baseband .15 now When I'm in SF, I put my phone in 3G mode to stop it from trying to connect to LTE, but when I need to download something and I know I'm near a B41 site, I'll click on the LTE and go nuts.
Ever wonder what LTE looks like in a waterfall?
I actually just recorded that with my new USRP. This thing is sweet!
What you see in that video is my phone getting taken out of airplane mode, authenticating with the network, and logging into tapatalk.
