So... I guess I have to leave sprint
 
in 3 months, my company is moving to a new building and there is no sprint service in the building. All the other companies put repeaters inside the building, but sprint wont. I guess everyone is migrating off sprint company wide.

your better off on a more reliable carrier anyways.

rootlinux 09-30-2012 11:28 AM

Sprint is very reliable for me.
LTE supposed to be all around me in the next few months and unlimited data.
Where else can you get that?

sprint uses repeaters, well femtocells, it's called sprint airwave for them but yeah, they can be put in place

where i work, sprint placed a sprint tower on top of the building for the area, then they put the airwaves around buliding as a benefit for letting them use the building.

Re: So... I guess I have to leave sprint
 
when I plug my airwave in, it makes my network unusable at home and it makes my phone unusable for txt/calls.
1) txts exhibit a 15 minute lag
2) calls don't come through
3) has to be rebooted all the time
4) my phone doesn't let go of it when I leave my house

There are many commercial options available to you, even at the consumer level. Try a search on Google for "wireless 1900 MHz amplifier Sprint" and you will find quite a bit. As I was reading this post I happened to be on the phone with my CDW account manager and he quoted me one that offers 3G and 4G for up to 200 client devices for just over $1,000. That is a small investment from your company if they are saving more than that each year with Sprint's service.

Come on Root...don't be a fan... OP wouldn't have started the thread if Sprint works for them..at the risk of sounding like Eric, try another carrier...some of these GSM carriers are better for building penetration.

I am not a fan my friend.
Simply stating Sprint is rolling out LTE and services are ok here.
Also Sprint has the most understanding when it comes to rooted devices.
My reply was more to fixxer than op.

I got the galaxy note 2, but it NEVER roams. like ever... and the past 2 days (pre-hurricane into during hurricane) have been f'ing awful for sprint service. Granted I've also done about 6GB of data since I got the phone on the 25th, but it's mostly when it's backing up, etc... at night.

sprint has been so-and-so in many areas. During to after hurricane though roaming didn't help since both verizon and sprint were down. Verizon got the tower back and going in my area. Sprint on the other hand I think they might have gotten the tower up but its having issues with data :/

Isn't the Note 2 coming to Verizon too? I think it was Nov 29th or something?

LOVE the galaxy note 2. I'm keeping it.
Also, I've already done 9GB of data since 10/25.

My airrave has not been plugged in. I just assume not getting thigns done at home.

Re: So... I guess I have to leave sprint
 
hey on my old razor max, when I received a incoming call, it would call out the number before the phone rang. How do I do that on the note 2

wetbar 11-21-2012 11:01 PM

Re: So... I guess I have to leave sprint
 
hey is there a note 2 forum somewhere?

revaaron 11-26-2012 12:04 AM

Re: So... I guess I have to leave sprint
 
been wondering the same exact thing. I dislike the dual sdcards immensely btw.

Re: So... I guess I have to leave sprint
 
I care less if sprint gives me 21kbs a sec on 3g. Or 3 mbps on 4g. It's the un limited that has me hooked. I have a friend with note2 att witj 4g at his home. He clocks at a average of 18 to 24 mbps. But he has limited 5gig a month. so he is scared to even see the 4g signal small at his taskbar. That's just sad.

I agree 100%
Who cares how fast the connection is if you are out of data?

gullzway 01-26-2013 02:22 AM

Agree, I've thought about leaving Sprint, but paying double + overage, and being limited to 5GB, when I'm already using 5GB/month on slow 3g won't help me any.

Month before last I had over 20 gigs of data used.
Not a word said or text sent.

Re: So... I guess I have to leave sprint
 
I don't get how I do 13GB a month. I don't have service more than 50% of the time. And a lot of the times when I do have service, I try to use data and nothing goes through.

Also, anything I have to do that involves non-asynchronous 1MB+ files never go through and I have to send them over and over and over. I wonder how much of that 13GB is just data retries.

Probably a lot.
I have moments like that.
Some servers do that even when I have a good 3g connection.

Re: So... I guess I have to leave sprint
 
So I just click everything 100x for them to go through and verizon put up all good antennas so I get service most places now. Switched from the Epic 4G to the Galaxy Note 2. Sort of wished I went with the S4 activate, but oh well.
