  1. I know there have been some upgrades downtown because I have been picking up some LTE signals on 9th outside of the library for about a month now. I had stopped using sensorly because I put a bunch of purple on band 41 from covington into downtown a while back on my G2, but the the LTE I'm picking up these days is definitely 1900 because I switched back to my Note 2.
  2. I'm pretty sure that was all mine from the weekend. It is probably all band 41 LTE because I was playing around with the hidden menu settings of my G2. There was an option called "UE Usage" that you can toggle between Voice Centric and Data Centric. I switched it to Data Centric and I was able to hold LTE from exit 2 on 75S all the way to the Taco Bell in Covington, then across the bridge into downtown until I parked on 9th St. It was nice to be connected to LTE, but I found out that it won't let phone calls or texts through. I could make calls and send texts, but incoming was not happening. I guess it is because of the CFSB issues.
  3. Thanks for the info. I was playing around with some of the setting was able to pull over 40 megs down on band 41 in Westwood/Cheviot.
  4. How are you "forcing" band 41? I can't get mine to switch from 3G.
  5. I have the same problem whenever I cycle airplane mode or reboot my G2. It will not automatically reconnect to my headphones or the car even though it was connected prior to the cycle.
  6. I haven't had any static issues via bluetooth in the car. I use Slacker Radio most of the time, but have used Pandora on occasion with no problem. Just wondering if you have your phone plugged into a car charger when streaming? If so, it may be engine noise opposed to static.
  7. That part of the article doesn't make sense to me either.... If there is no contract then is seems like you should be able to add and subtract people at your leisure. Maybe it must be done within the first 2 weeks of the billing cycle for the discount to take effect that month.
  8. I am hoping Sprint has worked out deals with manufacturers to limit the SKUs they produce. I think these plans will only help increase subscriber numbers in the future if devices have all of the radios baked in to jump between CDMA and GSM carriers like the Nexus 5.
  9. I have had the same issues with data dropping. The GPS has been giving me problems since I started using the G2. At first I thought it was the building, but one day I switched back and forth between the G2 and my Note 2, and the Samsung would pick up and hold a location with no problems while the G2 would struggle.
  10. I think a merger between the 2 is almost inevitable. That is the only way either of them will be able to truly compete with VZW and AT&T. I think the combination of technologies and frequencies will be a hurdle though. I think the best possibliity for them to get the merger approved will be if they disband all of the prepaid brands into its own company.... kinda like when the government broke up Ma Bell back in the day.
  11. I'm willing to help out but I will warn you guys now that I won't have very much time to commit to it. I work 65-70 hours per week. I live on the west side of Cincinnati and work downtown and in Covington so anything you need in those areas I will try to squeeze in the time to provide the info for you
  12. I just saw a unicorn on 4th St. in Covington I can't reproduce it, but it is strange because my 3G signal keeps dropping out and then I will randomly get a connection to band 41 with no bars at all. I was able to get a speed test in on sensorly before it reverted back to 3G. It was about 11Mbps down.
  13. I feel your pain. I work downtown and I haven't been able to locate the towers either. And there are so many buildings of all sizes, there is no telling if they are actually visible from street level. If I can make some free time soon, I will try to do a little scavenger hunt for the towers.
  14. Here it is, I knew I read something about it. Some of the guys here were talking about it in one of the main forums too. http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/15/verizons-lte-aws-rollout-begins/
  15. I would think they are probably adding lte on the AWS spectrum... I thought there were articles about them starting to test it out in NYC or somewhere like that a few months. I will try to find it later and link it for you as an fyi
