Don't know why this surprises anyone.
Sprint has to offer something different to stay relevant.

Lost
I thought the Iphone 5 got lost and that caused delays in things?

Oh great. You can bet our data will either be limited later or worse off than it is now in terms of speed (and it's already horrible) when this stupid POS is released.

Don't all of Sprint's smartphones come with unlimited data plans? Nothing really new here except the phone.
Hopefully their network upgrades are in place soon enough to help pick up the slack...

Yeah, my understanding is they are going to be launching 8 markets by the end of the year with Network Vision.
But obviously the whole network is going to take until 2013 or so.

I appreciate wanting the Nexus 3, but since we don't even know much about it...
Wouldn't it be best to find out first?

Missing sprint phones about now.

The service is amazing over here at Verizon.. Data speeds are significantly better in every way.. Having LTE in the middle of a lake in Idaho is a plus.. But damn the locked bootloader and all the bs rootblocking updates. They put a huge setback on erytang.. Even with the $154,8658,000,000 bounty. Just thought I'd let you guys know I was thinking about ya

Kind of feel like this is a waste of a thread and space. Since it doesn't contribute to the community.

I think it does add to the community. I'm sure there are lots of folks wondering if the grass is greener. Nice to have some real users of both services tell us the good AND bad.

Yeah but all he said was Verizon has better signal and speeds which is. common knowledge to most of us. And that Verizon blocks bootloaders, while sprint doesn't.

I didn't realize Verizon blocked boot loaders, so good to know.

I'm happy with my data speeds and coverage on Sprint. 40-60mbs is nothing to laugh at. Not many places I find don't have LTE anymore. Fast updates and no locked anything is a huge plus. Spring will be seeing many more Verizon customers in the coming months. S4/Note 3/S5 all locked from here out will bring more over.

Then you're lucky, because there are still TONS of places that don't have LTE, including major cities. I was in Denver a few weeks ago and still had to make do with 3G just like I do at home. Also, 40-60 mbs is unheard of, even on Verizon and AT&T. My home wifi isn't even that fast. If that figure is even remotely accurate, you're definitely a (very) rare exception rather than the rule.

As I pointed out earlier, that is very much the exception and not the rule. Also, you'll never get speeds like that on Sprint LTE.

My wife has vzw note 2. Here in indiana we have equal lte coverage but vzw speeds is usually 3-4 down. My sprint phone always whips vzw here. Dont dog Sprint. I avg 10-20 down and hit 30-40 down alot. This is all from our single band only phones. The only edge vzw has is lte building Penetration. All will be solved with tri band lte devices.

Idk OP, my service and bandwidth on Sprint's LTE is pretty solid, speaking as a recent convert from Verizon.
Ohh, I remember the good ol' days before Verizon lost their way. I was a Verizon customer during the release of the OG Motorola Droid, and that phone was like a development catalyst. I discovered xda thanks to that phone's development following. Everything I came to love about customizing kernels and roms came from that phone. ****, I remember what now seems like an ancient version of CyanogenMod for that OG Droid. I remember that phone out of the box was underclocked of all things, from 550Mhz down to 450 which made overclocking that thing to a meaty 1ish Ghz seem so beastly at the time lol!
Ahhhh good times :good:

Decent Sprint LTE speeds in College Park, MD
I get decent speeds (15-23 Mb down, 7-10 Mb up) on Sprint in College Park MD according to Speedtest.

Won't the speeds for the Sprint LTE towers drop for an individual once more people start utilizing it? I suspect some people are getting very high speeds because not a lot of Sprint users are tapping into the LTE bandwidth yet?

Close - it was a 600 mhz CPU underclocked to 550 mhz. I remember there were kernels that could overclock the thing all the way to 1.3 ghz. I've still never used another phone that could be overclocked that far past the native clock speed (by percentage, at least). Good times.

Nexus 5 coming to Sprint [Confirmed!!]

Of the many details leaked about the next nexus, is a rumor that it's coming to Sprint. http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/nexus-5-leaked-in-new-image-revealing-side-panel-439334
What do you guys think? Assuming it's true, would you still stick with your HTC One?

I don't think I would take it on Sprint's network. I am getting it though, I plan on getting it unlocked and most likely on t mobiles network. I love my ONE. and have no issues with sprint :thumbup:, but I want to try the 'google ' experience again. Loved the galaxy nexus. Until it broke..

I'll be getting one as well. If its on Sprint, even better...especially since it will be tri-band and compatible with Spark.

It already passed through the FCC supporting all of Sprint's cdma and lte bands among others, this was back in August before the info got pulled. So even though it hasn't been officially announced for sprint I don't see why it wouldn't come to sprint when it supports all of sprints frequencies.

Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

only thing im hesitant about is the weak IR blaster compared to the ONE and the lack of an awesome TV app!

if it has tri-band Sprint LTE, I'm dumping my One.

I'm almost certainly going to stick with my One, as the spec bump isn't big enough to justify switching, and I'm really enjoying this phone. However, what really excites me is that there is at least a chance now that going forward, nexus devices will be on sprint. I can wait and see how this one plays out, then at the end of next year when the nexus 5 squared or 6 or whatever it is is announced, I will have a cheaper, easier way to upgrade early. Also, should something catastrophic happen to my one, I would have the option to just get a nexus as well.

In the past all nexus devices for Sprint were released a year later then it's gsm counterpart. If this happens again then its a definite no from me.

Its already passed thru FCC with triband(Spark) so i getting it....

Eh it's a nice phone but I would get bored with it. There would be no reason to flash a Rom.

I have gone back and forth from the one to the note2 twice now and am thinking about a m8 when it's here. As far as radios I know the lte symbol is on my note 2 more but when it comes to performance I really notice little to no difference. I think it all has to do with your local signal. My bud on tmob has HTC one and his is always on lte he pulls like 30 mbps download constantly where as I get lucky to pull 10

Could you try and link it for us? I think the RF performance problem is multiplied greatly for us Sprint customers. Our 3g is very weak and our LTE in most cities is not dense yet. For Verizon and atnt users it may not be that big of a deal.

Sprint Spark

Hey there forum, I just got the newest Consumer Reports and I was surprised to find a small segment about Sprint's Spark. I personally don't know much about it but I wanted to offer up their point of view.

That talks about simultaneous voice/data. And yes, that's a HUGE drawback. I have a VZW phone for work and I use that all the time.

If the article comments are accurate, then per the FCC it will be after 2/2016 before sprint is using 800MHz for data.
