So, I love my Note 9, had it for a while, but with one problem. it's been on a November 2019 security patch and Android 9 for as long as I can remember. I bought it unlocked on eBay, when it arrived it was locked to Sprint but switched to T-mobile when I put my sim in. and that's where it's sat. Today I've been trying to update it with ODIN but ran into an interesting road block, the Baseband version still matches up to Sprint from 2019. Yes I've already made a backup of my data, however it would be really poggers if I didn't need to factory reset my phone. Is the solution a $4 junk sprint sim from ebay enough to pick up a regular OTA update? Is wiping my phone inevitable? Is flashing a 2021-03-31 Sprint update in ODIN from sammobile easier than I'm making it out to be and play nicely with Samsung locking the phone to Tmobile?

As the title indicates I was given a Sprint S9 (unlocked as all models I read were for N.A?) The phone has an insane amount of bloatware for Sprint. I am wondering if I need to get rid of it all or are there certain ones I have to keep? The phone still is "registered" to the prior number as I saw in the contacts under "Me" or the voicemail number. I know a factory reset did not kill off this information. I do know I had to jump through a few hoops to get my Verizon S7 to work on T-Mobile store network, but I was wanting to see if anyone had valuable inputs that may help me out. ****ALSO should I factory reset the phone, and add my existing profiles form Google, Samsung etc in the beginning, or will smart switch do that for me? TIA!

AT&T to limit video quality by default in hopes to help customers reduce data usage
Guest posted a topic in Tech News
American Telephone and Telegraph, more commonly known as AT&T, is one of the largest telecommunication conglomerates in the USA They currently provide over 300 million people with 4G LTE networks Today, they announced that they would limit the quality of mobile video content by early 2017 Not all hope is lost though given that users will still be able to turn off Stream Saver to view higher resolution I personally don't know how to react to this though it is expected given that I'm not an AT&T customer Sprint and T-Mobile have also started doing the same thing; they aim to help users reduce their usage to avoid paying higher fees Sources: ArsTechnica, RCR Wireless -
After a lengthy cancelation process to get out of our awful sprint contract we ported our numbers to cricket. Through that process we ended up with our sprint phones. We were supposed to take them into a store to return them, but no store would take them. So we cant go to sprint to unlock them. I love my G6 and want to use it on cricket, but buying a new one is expensive. Before you tell me its impossible because cdma doesn't use a sim card it has a sim slot, because all LG G line phone starting with the G2 have both gsm and cdma radios. To conclude I've tried all the trustworthy sites, and they either don't do cdma unlock codes, or they cant do it yet for my G6. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

It seems like sprint is doing something a little crazy. (RIP OnePlus 3T users) They are offering 1 Year of free LTE service for anyone who switches to Sprint. Offer Expires 6/30/17 Here is the link: https://www.sprint.com/content/sprint/sprint_com/us/en/shop/offers/free-unlimited.html

Source: The Verge Spring has launched its 5G network to 4 additional cities, New York City, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Washington, DC. This additional coverage means Sprint now has a total of nine cities with 5G networking. In The Verge's article, the journalist noted that his colleague tested Sprint's network last year, that he observed Sprint's 5G network speeds are lower slower than for example Verizon's network, but the benefit to Sprint was that network works better indoors and has a wider ranger. I live in the United Kingdom so I'm not up to date with how the USA is developing their 5G networking, but if I were in the USA in one of those select cities - I'm going New York City, baby - I'd likely choose Sprint as I prefer having a more reliable network connection than raw networking speed on my phone. That is provided I carry one of the new 5G devices, which at the moment, I do not. I don't know how pricing works in the USA either so as you can tell I am far out of the loop on North American 5G networking. Nonetheless, it is nice to see 5G networking developing and growing in both the United Kingdom and the United States, each with their own selected mobile networks and their competitiors.

AT&T has been in the news a little bit lately over their "5G E" nomenclature on iPhones and other devices....well Sprint isn't having any of it The general feeling of consumers that are informed, is that the name "5G E" is intentionally deceptive and Sprint seems to think that such deceptive marketing is a big no no. I would agree with Sprint in this, the network that AT&T has is not deserving of even being vaguely associated with actual 5G. Attempting to call it 5G is defiantly misleading. AT&T does not see it that way however (of course). Providing this statement: The closest analog to this is when 3G networks were being labeled as "4G" (mostly by T-Mobile I think) back when the iPhone 4s was available. Sure you can make the argument that this is simply to showcase that the technology is improving.....but in the case of "5G E," no real 5G Network exists. This would not be a problem if 5G was already deployed and 5G E was a better version of that network, like what happened with 4G LTE. LTE identified an improvement in the 4G network. 5G E implies an improvement of the 5G network which does not exist.

Sprint and T-Mobile have announced that they will merge* *IT HASN'T BEEN APPROVED YET The new company will be called T-Mobile https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/29/17298904/sprint-and-t-mobile-merger I think that this is exciting, scary, and just plain weird. In the video both of the companies discuss that the merger will generate competition and will accelerate the 5G race. I am excited if this means that 5G can be a reality sooner. But if this means a worse option for consumers then Im am genuinely worried as two what will happen. What do you guys think of this? How do you fell this will impact the market? And do you think it will be approved?

My phone (a Samsung S7) is no longer receiving SMS. I am receiving MMS and I could send SMS but I'm just not receiving. When I was setting myself with Sprint the rep talked to me about the insurance as a hardware failure and not a software or network failure. This feels like a Network failure to me since everything else is working. This problem has been happening for over a week now. I have done the following to try and fix this (with a Sprint rep on the line of a different phone) - Profile update - PRL update - All "Power Cycle options" including factory - The ##72786# - I got a new SIM Card - Reset to Factory Defaults (Complete cleaning) Does anyone know what could be causing this? They said the Verizon towers in my area are updating but my wife who has the exact same phone is functioning perfectly. What can be done?

I called sprint today to unlock my iphone I got off ebay and the person who I talked to was so SO rude they said I needed the account number which I did not have and I informed them of that and at the end the lady said "WELL I GUESS I CAN F**KING CAN HELP YOU AND DON'T CALL BACK AGAIN" and hung up. All I wanted to do was unlock my iPhone witch they legally have to do (A law was put in to place in February of 2015 saying all phones built after then had to be unlocked by the carrier if the person asking request it)

I'm looking into getting a Samsung galaxy a80, but I have sprint. Does it work with sprint or is there a way for it to work with sprint?

So a few months ago Sprint screwed me over on two bills in a row and made it impossible for me to pay them, I currently owe them a sum of money to get my services turned back on but after the things they pulled I don't want to be with them anymore. Now I have an iPhone 6s Plus 16GB that I was renting from them monthly and was wondering if it would be possible to sell it or not?

Does anyone have experience using the ZTE Axon 7 on a CDMA network, mainly Verizon? These are the frequencies ZTE claims it supports on its site: GSM/EDGE:B2/3/5/8CDMA BC0/1/10UMTS/HSPA: B2/B5/B4/B1/B8LTE: B2/B4/B5/B12/B13/B17/B7/B3/B1/B20/B29/B30/B25/B26/B412CA: B2+B4, B2/4+B12, B2/4+B29, B2/4+B5, B41+B41, B25+B25 After looking at Verizon's bands, this phone should be perfectly capable. However, I haven't been able to find a straight answer yet. Thanks for any help.

Just checked for updates on my Galaxy S6 on Sprint and am now downloading the Marshmallow update! It's 1235.87MB, so taking a bit on the slow wifi I'm currently on. Quick note for people who want to upgrade, make sure you disable encryption if you enabled it before you update or you won't be able to disable it at all afterwards. You can re-enable device encryption after the update.

So I'm trying to decide between a few different phones. I'm currently looking at the Nexus 6p and the LG G5 and I'm currently with sprint. Any pros and cons to either that I should know about or any suggestions on phones I should get. If it helps I currently have the LG G3.

So I made this post a while back, which explains my situation. please do not reply before reading: Essentially I'm in a similar situation now. I'm not sure if Sprint will be a viable option for my network, and I can't figure out how to connect the camera to the Sprint router in the first place. I've checked and a PC client won't be possible, and neither will wifi. If anyone had any suggestions, they would be much appreciated as I am getting paid for this and would like to figure out a solution. Srry i'm not that good with networking... One side note: Would it be possible to run a super long optical cable to the camera (like @LinusTech did with his PC) to the camera itself and to a PC at the bottom of the mountain? Thank you so much for your time.

My client has wanted me to do this project for a while now, and I've continuously failed to get anywhere with this project. He wanted a camera set up on the east coast, that he could monitor from anywhere using his computer. I found a Foscam camera (The FI9900P) that seemed to satisfy his needs. Sadly, WiFi was not an option, so I looked into a mobile hotspot. The only option on the market that supported port forwarding was the Netgear Aircard Zing, which I got on eBay. What I had in mind was to: Forward a port on the hotspot set to the camera's IP address Connect the camera to the hotspot Set the system up in the designated area and be able to check on the camera whenever. So far I have successfully gotten the hotspot device activated and tested the network, along with using the camera itself on my home network, which is not port forwarded. My problem is within getting the camera connected to the hotspot network, as it never works, and I have to reset the camera each time I attempt. This overly-simplified idea evidently didn't work, and I've been struggling to figure out a solution to this problem for months. My client is astonishingly patient, but I need to get this done soon and I'd be extremely appreciative if someone could give me some guidance as to how I can achieve this. Thank you.

Article can be found here: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/01/business/dealbook/plan-to-keep-1700-radioshack-stores-open-is-approved.html?_r=0as well as several other websites. Anyone know if this is legit, or is it an early April Fool's joke? It SEEMS legit, since there were talks of this awhile ago, but I'm not entirely 100% sure. I think it'd be pretty neat to still see a few stores around; they were always fun to browse through even if I rarely needed anything they carried. Not to mention the reported 7500 jobs it would save.

So I have sprint and been using it for a while but not to long ago I upgraded my phone to a galaxy s5 sport. I got it all setup and started realizing how much trash they put on your phone. Some of it I have been delaying on downloading, so today I finally decided to download sprint fit. After it downloaded it brought me to my home screen. Lets just say it didn't look the same. Those fucktards wipe all of my home pages and put their preset shit in its place. After dicking around I got their stuff gone and have restored it to normal. But the worst part was their overlays that I dont want like a news and fitness thing. In the end sprint is overpriced trash.(and yes I am one of those people that have their homescreens perfected) comment any other sprint struggles you have.

Source: http://www.theverge.com/2015/4/22/8467433/google-launches-mobile-service Damn boy! This is going to be GREAT for people in the U.S. The ONLY drawback is that the only possible phone available is the Nexus 6. Granted, it's not a bad phone, but this might push some people away due to the huge size of the phone and its general flaws. In any case, this is dirt cheap, and is pretty darn interesting, especially considering you can access the T-Mobile and Sprint network. Pricewise, it's amazingly competitive. I would absolutely love to switch over to theis network, and potentially bring my entire family over to this, making a huge switch over. However, it seems to be quite cost prohibitive considering the high cost of the phone initially. I would love to see a CHEAP Nexus device at around $300 like the Nexus 5 that would work with this network. Then, Google would have a winner on its hands, with a cheap phone and wireless plan to absolutely force carriers to innovate. This is going to change things, though I'm curious why Google wanted to go this direction. Considering its reluctance and lack of desire to become an ISP, I don't really know why it wants to become a cell carrier. Oh well, I'm not complaining. GO GOOGLE!

http://arstechnica.com/business/2015/01/sprint-goes-off-script-says-title-ii-wont-hurt-wireless-investment/ http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/16/sprint-net-neutrality-title-ii-is-ok/ When first launched, the mobile market was a licensed duopoly. This system was a failure, resulting in slow deployment, high prices and little innovation." Congressional action in 1993 opened the market to new carriers including Sprint, the letter said. "This competition resulted in tremendous investment in the wireless industry, broader deployment, greater innovation, and falling prices. It is absolutely true that this explosion of growth occurred under a light touch regulatory regime. Some net neutrality debaters appear to have forgotten, however, that this light touch regulatory regime emanated from Title II common carriage regulation, including Sections 201, 202, and 208 of the Communications Act." What effect will reclassifying mobile data as Title II have on investment? "So long as the FCC continues to allow wireless carriers to manage our networks and differentiate our products, Sprint will continue to invest in data networks regardless of whether they are regulated by Title II, Section 706, or some other light touch regulatory regime," Sprint wrote. Its great that not every carrier is against net neutrality and want to screw over their customers. I am currently using sprint on my note 4; because of this I'm not leaving sprint anytime soon and for people in places where sprint has ok reception get sprint to support the company. http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/10/7190109/do-you-want-net-neutrality-or-not-john-legere this is a big deal because even t mobile which is a company hailed for putting customers first is against net neutrality

According to an article posted just a couple of hours ago on the CNET Magazine's website, T-Mobile has already, or is soon poised, to take over Sprint's place as the third largest mobile provider. While the details are currently being contested by both sides, it appears that Sprint has been counting over 1.7 million users who have been inactive for more than six months. They claim that they've always followed this practice and that they don't discount users until a retail outlet partner updates them on a user's status. While not necessarily a tremendous ethics violation, it's still hard for me not to imagine a politician getting caught registering voters for the deceased and then stating, "I only used the votes of those deceased for which I did not directly receive a death certificate." So what do you guys think about both Sprint's marketing "strategy," and T-Mobile's worthiness in beating it out for the #3 spot?
