How are Sprint iPhone speeds in San Diego?

I heard about how many people experience very slow speeds on Sprint with the iPhone 4s. Is that a problem that affects most people in a given location, or is anything being done to fix it? How are your speeds with it, especially if you are in San Diego?
I heard that in some places it's ok and others it's very slow, and I heard where it's slow on the iPhone, Android phones on Sprint are ok, and I know the iPhone is just as fast as Android phones on Verizon, so I'm confused about what the problem is. Still, I am interested in an iPhone and am trying to figure out the scope of the problem.

Thanks slattum99. By any chance can you check speedtest.net's app to see what the speed is exactly? I'm guessing by "good" you mean around 1Mbps, but I ended up getting the iPhone with AT&T and that gets me around 4Mbps. Maybe by the time my contract is through Sprint's speeds will improve even more.

  • How are the Iphone strages full?

    Me, my brother, and my sister all have IPhone 4S's. For some reason these phones are all backed up on to my sisters IPhone. Their is no space left on her phone which makes me and my brother have no space left too. Why is it all on her phone? It also says the wrong email for the ICloud. It keeps popping up on our phones that we have to put the password in for the ICloud for backup, but it isn't the right Email in the first place. Why does this happen? It also won't let me change the email on my phone so I could put the right email or password in. It states that their is already a password for ICloud too, but then it asks us in a popup that we need the password. We are trying to get the new update (IOS 7.1.1) but the phone and ITunes keeps saying we don't have enough space for it to download. It states we need more space, but we can't delete anything else. I believe it need more backup space again, but that is full. I am lost, I don't know what happened with the ICloud, ITunes, or the update.

    There are many big diffrences between the two one of the most noticable is Siri. The iphone 4S has a faster processor for gaming and heavy graphical applications. It has a stunning camera the iphone 4 has a 5 megapixel camera and the 4S has a 8 megapixel camera. The iphone 4S has faster data speeds on 3G then the iphone 4. Its actually so fast it can almost be considered 4G. There are many minor imporvments that increase battery life etc.
    Basically everything on the 4S is faster than the 4

  • How are your iPhones shipping?

    For those of you with preorders that have actually shipped (lucky you, by the way, and congratulations!), what does your reference number on the shipment look like? Some combo of your location and order number? Your order ref? Or just your order?  Shipping by FedEx or UPS? Wondering if I can try to discover my tracking number, if any, via the carrier.  Thanks!

    My order is being shipped via FedEx, my tacking number is 12 digits long, but my purchase order number is a combination of my location followed by an underscore followed by  4 zeros and my order number.
    Example:  W123456_000091xxx
    Hope that helps

    Hello Brian Delaney,
    It sounds like you are trying to send emails but for some reason, thousands show activity. I would start by re indexing the mailbox to help troubleshoot the issue:
    1.Quit Mail if it’s open.
    2.In ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData, delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in the Finder choose Go > Library.
    3.Open Mail.Mail creates new Envelope Index files. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how many messages Mail is reindexing.
    Mail (Mavericks): Reindex messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14876
    If the issue persists, I would next remove the account, restart the computer, and re add the account:
    1.Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
    2.Select an account, then click Remove.
    Mail (Mavericks): Remove mail accounts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14944
    Removing an Exchange or IMAP account doesn’t permanently delete the account’s mailboxes and messages because they’re stored on the mail server. To retrieve the account’s mailboxes and messages from the server, add the account again in Mail.
    To add the account again, click the  rather than the  as described above and retest the issue.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • How can I factory unlock my sprint iphone 5c

    How can i factory unlock my sprint Iphone 5c ?

    To be clear, you cannot get your phone "factory unlocked".
    In order to be factory unlocked, it is manufactured unlocked to any carriers at the factory.
    Phones that are locked cannot be "factory unlocked".
    They can be carrier unlocked (in some cases as Niel describes).

  • HT1937 how can i unlock sprint iphone 5?

    i bought clean ESN sprint iphone 5 by e-bay
    and buy the unlock ticket from e-bay sellers.
    but they can't unlock. ( more 5 times)

    UI'm that's not true I have a 5s that I payed off because I want to leave sprint and they told me that even if I buy the phone off it still belongs to them and that if they said it won't be unlocked I'm out of luck and that is a load of bull dung I hate sprint how are they not going to unlock a phone that I already payed off and is not on contract and I was a customer for 6-8 months and the minimum requirement is 90days not to mention I've seen their forums they do the same thing to prole that have been with them for 10yrs plus. And I think what they are doing should be illegal keeping off contract iPhones hostage meaning they become glirifiednipods rather than being used for what they are meant for. They pin the blame on apple saying that apple designed it to be unlock able it's a bunch of dung. How come alevery other iPhone from other carriers can be unlocked. No wonder they are bleeding customers like crazy. I bought a 32 gb iPhone 5s and now it's useless because sprint doesn't want to unlock it so I can use it on another carrier I wish apple would let me trade this piece of dung in for an unlocked one. So I can forget sprint and never hear or see of them again.

  • HT201274 Can a Sprint Iphone 5 work with T-mobile network? How can one unlock with the MSL code? Sprint is not abiding by the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act.  FCC will only enforce if we file more complains.

    Can a Sprint Iphone 5 work with T-mobile network? How can one unlock with the MSL code? Sprint is not abiding by the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act.  FCC will only enforce if we file more complains.

    T-Mobile is a GSM network whereas Sprint is a CDMA network. They are incompatible. Sprint is not obliged to unlock a phone that is still under contract. Their phones may not be capable of being unlocked.

    Sprint are known to be pretty tough-nut to crack. You are out of luck.
    Unlocking using unofficial sources (other than Sprint) is neither supported by Apple nor here on this forum.

  • 4G LTE data very slow or nonexistent in San Diego inland North County area?

    Over the past few weeks I've noticed my phone being a bit slower than usual with data speeds in terms of loading a web page, various, apps, etc. Phone is a HTC Thunderbolt.
    However this week since 1/6/2014 and usually in the morning when I'm at work (Poway, CA 92064) my data is VERY slow and goes all over the place from 4G LTE to 3G to 1X and even spends periods of time with no data connection whatsoever even though I have several bars of service.  Was just out to lunch in San Diego/Scripps Ranch 92131 and still had 1X or no data service at all.  This is becoming downright unacceptable as I am paying for this service and it's nonexistent for large periods of time.
    I'm not sure this is limited to a local problem though. My partner is in the Bay Area hundreds of miles away from here and he said his phone (HTC Rezound) the other day also spent a lot of time on 1X and wore his battery down unusually early searching for a data signal.
    Verizon...what the heck?  What's up?

    It may be that there working on the system in your area or are they having any special events in your when they do that can tax the system some what and it cause what your seeing..  You might want to give Customer Service a call and ask for a Tech Rep.. see if there having any issues in your area and while your on the phone with them,  have them check your PRL code.. it may need updating and the rep may have to push it to your phone.. b33

  • How can I get a downloaded ringtone/song to appear in the settings/sounds/Ringtones menu area on Iphone 4?

    How can I get a downloaded ringtone/song to appear in the settings/sounds/Ringtones menu area on Iphone 4? Thanks

    You must create the ringtones.  google will find several free ways to do this.
    It will then appear in the "Ringtones" section of your itunes "Library".
    Then you select it to sync under the ringtones tab.

  • How can I set up Facetime on a deactivated Sprint iphone 4?

    I bought a Sprint iphone 4 from someone who had deactivated due to he couldnt afford the extra data package; therefore the ESN is bad and not free and clear. I have a 12yr old son with Down Syndrome who had played with his sisters ipod touch and I thought we might be able to get him to like this one instead. When I showed him the Angry Birds game, to our astonishment, he took to it immediately. It is the first time he's ever played, and completed any game, ever. Needles to say what I bought for parts(I have a cell phone repair business) has now become his phone. Usually in these cases I do a complete reset, but instead, I have deleted all the prior owners personal information and reset up the wifi and my email info.
    The problem I'm having is getting Facetime to work on this used iphone 4. Another daughter is away at college, has an iphone 4 with AT&T, and we would love for our son to be able to talk to the sister he misses so much. I have set up an account in Apple, followed all the instructions, and it never gets past the "Verifying"message then "Activation unsuccessful. Turn on Facetime to try again." We are utilizing Wifi and have a good strong connection, because I can surf the net and get into my AOL account.
    I would really love to be able to set this up; can this be done? I am "Old School" and would need a step by step instruction. Thanx!!!

    If it is true about the SMS, then it can't be done. The phone would have to be activated and, as I stated in my OP, the ESN is not free and clear. Therefore It can't send the SMS, ever.  I didn't get "Hosed", as I said in the OP, I originally bought the phone for parts. It was only used 3 weeks, looked brand new, is white, and only had 3 hours on the Talktimer. It was only when I discovered my son connected with the Angry Birds game did I consider giving it to him. I have software to identify most SPC's(Service Provider Code) on Sprint, Verizon, and most CDMA phones. I utilize this to update Software, reflash, or Change PRL's, on CDMA phones. But even finding out this and reprograming it with another number won't work if an actual SMS has to be sent thru the Sprint System; besides, I'm pretty sure this software(CDMA WS Pro) won't work with iphones. So I guess the "Genius" guy wouldnt be able to help me out anyway. Too bad there isnt away around having to use Sprint to activate an Apple app. If anyone else has a solution, please let me know. Thanx for your help.

  • How to tell if Sprint iPhone is unlocked?

    I called Sprint earlier and asked them to unlock the GSM portion of my 4S. I told them I will be doing extensive traveling for a while and I don't want to pay roaming. I am a customer of good standing, but I thought they'd put up a lot of resistance. Lo and behold, when I called in, the girl checked for me and told me that my phone has been unlocked all along. Even though that was the first time I called in.
    (I don't know if it has to do with the fact that I got my phone the day of the launch at an Apple Store. Rumors on the Internet said that the first batch of Sprint iPhones were accidentally unlocked. But I thought that would have been re-locked durning software update or something. Besides, I have dropped my phone recently and replaced with a new one through AppleCare +. So I'm baffled as to how this phone has been unlocked all along.)
    Anyway, back to my point. I want to bring the phone to the UK and use a local sim card. Is there anyway I can tell if the phone is indeed unlocked? Can i tell from itunes or somethng? I don't want to bring it there only to find it still locked. I'd rather buy a cheap pay-as-you-go phone locally and not bring a locked iPhone with me. I plan on doing everything above the board. No jailbreakng.

    Well, a domestic sim won't work in your phone, so using one to check won't work and if AppleCare can't confirm such, you have no choice but to rely on what Sprint tells you. Call the International Support team to confirm, again:
    888.226.7212
    Tell them you will NOT pay any roaming charges if it is not unlocked when you get there.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • With a Sprint iPhone, how can I shorten the number of rings before going to voicmail?

    Using a Sprint iPhone, how can I shorten the number of rings before going to voicemail?

    23 rings? Really. My friends iPhone rings 4 times then goes to voice mail.
    I know on Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile the number of rings is set through the carrier. Have you called Sprint?
    Here is the manual, which is also bookmarked in Safari on your iPhone and can be added for free to your iBooks app through the iBookstore: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
