    Curious if this device truly does support HPUE, as that Qualcomm page doesn't specify it. But the Orbic tech sheet does. Can any signal apps confirm if HPUE is active on an Android device?

    The $179 price might be a giveaway, too.

    This phone looks to have some pretty modern specs despite its $179 price. http://www.orbic.us/content/documents/orbic_wonder-spec_sheet-100317.pdf USB-C, VoLTE, Wi-Fi calling, HPUE (!), and B25/B25 B25/B26 carrier aggregation. No mention of B41 CA but I'm assuming it's 2xCA or 3xCA. I'm considering picking one up to use with SignalCheck. Anyone picked one up yet?

    Ha, well, at least you discovered a solution for those that this happens to in the future! Shouldn't have to do it, but it works. :-)

    Planning a trip to Phoenix/Sedona/Grand Canyon later this year. I noticed the Grand Canyon now has Extended LTE roaming on Sprint. Who is the provider there?
  6. burnout8488
    If the device supports B25/26 aggregation at launch, does this mean Sprint's network also will?

    I am hoping there is at least an "opt-in" way to do VoLTE on iOS by the end of 2018. Kind of like how Verizon added the feature when they rolled it out, but it wasn't on by default. My market is totally ready for it, but I understand that many aren't quite there yet.

    Is the Felton site live with LTE yet? All coverage maps lead to "no," but perhaps it just hasn't caught up yet. Maps were about 1-2mo behind for my home market.

    Following up on my findings regarding the 80-85Mbps speed cap on this router... Brother in law just got another one of these routers and hooked it up to his 100Mbps internet. He's experiencing the same thing. Whether wired or wireless, the internet will not test higher than 80-85Mbps. I turned off Smart Connect, tried different SSIDs, doesn't seem to make a difference. If anything, I'm very surprised the wired side is limited to 80-85Mbps to the WAN. I confirmed both routers have a gigabit connection to the modems, as indicated by the connection lights. I know flashing the firmware will more than likely fix this, but I'm not about to do that on 2-3 more routers as my friends and family get them. :-) Just curious if anyone has found a fix on the stock firmware, perhaps a setting buried somewhere that could be causing this.

    These are fairly recent GMO LTE conversions so that is great news they're sending the techs back to improve them yet again. :-)
  12. burnout8488
    Thanks, so single-band LTE until they are eventually converted to full-build? No chance of a B26 carrier card on GMOs? (I feel like I knew all of this back in 2013 but forgot!)
  13. burnout8488
    Is there any indication as to how these highway builds were done after going 3G-->LTE? Are they still ground mount RRUs running B25-only with B26 planned shortly in the future? This would explain some of the LTE drops I've seen on I-81 and I-88 that were recently converted to LTE.
  14. burnout8488
    What would cause a Magic Box to not broadcast LTE, but be connected to GPS and the macro site? -117dBm B25 connection, has always worked just fine. Went to in-law's house today and had no LTE at all. Rebooted, no change.
  15. burnout8488
    Anyone running 11.2.5 beta? Voice call continuity was introduced in a beta on iOS, I'm curious if full-time calling plus or VoLTE is going to make the cut in another upcoming beta release. Beta 3 just went live recently.
  16. burnout8488
    Ha, awesome! Nice timing :-)

    All of the highway sites surrounding Binghamton are LTE complete now as well, including the GMOs. (Despite what Sprint's coverage map implies) Apalachin, Owego, Vestal - all done. (Source: I drove to them)
  18. burnout8488
    When VoLTE is 100% implemented on Sprint some day, will LTE call handoffs to and from the macro network work with the Airave? From what I understand, handoffs do not work in all scenarios over 1x CDMA on the Airave currently.
  19. burnout8488
    Got 125Mbps in downtown Binghamton last night on NYE. It seems like they finally provisioned more backhaul to this site. It has always been weak, I assume, due to a dense population of MVNO customers in this area. Most sites around here have 3xCA enabled but can’t crack more than 60-80Mbps.
  20. burnout8488
    Not a bad plan, and I see how they can be used to enable band roaming, but I don't think anyone there is interested in knowing which band is being used. A single SSID and a router that auto-switches back and forth would be ideal. The Sprint one seems to do that fine, it's just the speeds are gimped on mine for some reason.
  21. burnout8488
    I did that briefly, but having two SSIDs was kind of clunky and pointless in a house of non-tech people. The Sprint firmware does band switching on its own which is very nice. I never understood having two SSIDs for 2.4 and 5Ghz... (Coming from an Apple Airport Extreme user)
  22. burnout8488
    Thanks. Might reset it and go from there, hopefully a replacement isn't necessary!
  23. burnout8488
    My region recently got a boost in internet speed from 60Mbps to 100Mbps. We have one of these routers running the stock firmware at my in-law's house. The most it will do over wired LAN and wireless is 70-80Mbps. If I plug their PC directly into the modem it gets 112Mbps. Bad router or inherent with Sprint's firmware on these? Can anyone test on a 100Mbps+ connection?
  24. burnout8488
    I couldn't figure out a way to open mine without breaking it, so, I stopped. Did manage to get a good look inside and see the little antenna plates on both sides, though. An interesting device for sure.
  25. burnout8488
    Very cool. Anyone think of an explanation for the free LTE data? Were you planning on buying the high speed pass had it not been included anyway?
