#BLU R1 HD SPECS VS GALAXY NOTE 4 ANDROID#
No way! Another Relay user?! I thought they’d all be long extinct by now! Have you done any mods with yours? I’m running cyanogenmod 11, android 4.4. lol I only put it in my pocket when I leave home and that is not so often these days. I only use it as a phone, but Not a web browser, not a camera, not anything but a phone, aside from an occasional text (2-3 times per week), it sits on my bedroom dresser for days on end until it goes dead and needs to be charged. I have no excess apps on my phone, the ones I couldn’t delete got deactivated or turned off, even GPS. Doing without the constant and ever increasing spying, … is called FREEDOM !! The Googly GPS tracking the every move, every search, every email, every website visited, etc. Then there is the lo-jack in the pocket syndrome. I long for the days when I can return home and check my messages and decide who to call back and who to ignore. I also made more than several cross country road trips, with no cel phone. My days were always busy with productivity and focus on the work, it was awesome. I held off until 2009 to get my first cel, … I remember well the days of absolute freedom !! I worked construction for a couple decades from the 80’s to the 200’s with only a landline. Two completely different technologies, so there was no way for them to be able to connect to the others towers because of it.
Before that, Verizon used CDMA? and T-Mobile used GSM. and vise versa.But this really only came about because of everyone switching to 4G LTE technology. Since almost all towers support some kind of low band, they basically were saying that Verizon could not keep T-Mobile customers from using a Verizon tower for a 911 call. No support for anything below band 8, aka 850mhz. But the problem is, look at the Google Nexus 9 for example. That is why AT&T had to make their band 18 towers compatible to be used with band 12 phones.
This is not to say that it can not be used with higher frequencies, but based more on the fact that a lot of tower only have low band installed on them, which is also the most reliable at keeping a connection too. If I remember right, the FCC really based that off of low band use, and people having a phone that supports what is installed on the towers. By your statement, if you have a 1, 2, or 3G phone, then they still have to be able to make 911 calls, even though it is not supported on any of their networks, or will not be. Heck, Verizon said that after this month, they will have no support for 2 or 3G any more either. They require any “supported” device to be able to do that. It could in fact violate 911 safety requirements that carriers are supposed to allow any device activated or not place 911 calls.Īctually, no, they do not. And if your device is not on the list but you’re still worried about it, you can check if your device supports VoLTE. If you use any of the devices mentioned on the list, it might be time to start looking into upgrading your device. Employees of T-Mo were also told to “stay tuned” since they could be releasing offers that would target affected customers. The publication shared that some business customers were informed of an existing $150-off promotion. This gives users enough time to find a replacement for their old devices. But T-Mobile has already started sending out snail mail letters to customers since the 18th. T-Mobile will start notifying customers who will be affected by this via SMS on December 28th. But as reported, T-Mobile assured that this isn’t the case. Many speculated that this was part of the mandatory VoLTE support change that will take place upon T-Mobile’s legacy network shutdown.
It is for this precise reason why T-Mobile has decided to stop support for these devices. And this usually means that these devices no longer received an up-to-date security patch, which puts them at risk for hacks and other threats. As a matter of fact, these devices no longer received official updates for quite some time. It’s actually not a huge surprise that these phones will no longer be supported by T-Mobile real soon.
Most of these devices are already considered older models that range from 2014-2015. It’s also possible that other devices not included on the list will be affected.Ī total of 19 devices ranging from phones, tablets, and cameras were mentioned in the list. *Even though the list includes the AT&T and Verizon model of the Note 4, the T-Mobile version is not affected.
