It looks like Sprint has finally announced the first 2 LTE devices and an LTE modem. Officially the Galaxy Nexus, the LG Viper. I will post to include a link to the official page soon. I am on my E4GT so its a little mpre cumbersome than my computer to link posts. What do you think of the newest selection?

Curious that the Viper doesn't have ICS, although that would lend credence to the theory that LTE phones will be released sooner rather than later. Since if we were waiting for a summer release, you would think by then phones would come shipped with ICS. Hopefully this phone will be upgraded. LG doesn't have a proven track record with updates kinda like Samsung.

I am excited about the GN, my son has the international version and it is a sweet phone. Hopefully it gets the 1.5 processor bump.

@legion125...that's an excellent point. I hadn't considered the ICS point. If the LG Viper wasn't coming out until summer, there's no reason why it wouldn't have ICS. Yet, they are promoting it with Android 2.3. Interesting to ponder...and exciting. Thanks!

:D

I like the Galaxy Nexus, it's a very nice device. However, I would like to see HTC Sense overlaid on top of ICS and see how it looks. I just hope that Sprint releases an LTE 3D device. Now that would be sweet. :)

Have you used Sense 3 yet? Although I'm a fan of Sense and like the widgets it brings to the table especially with all the variations that Sense 3 allows, I'm becoming concerned about just how much of an overlay you need. I'm beginning to see why these newer phones need so much additional RAM just to make the OS with the overlay function with minimal lag. This really became noticeable since I've had my NS4G. Although I don't have the widgets I like, the phone runs smoother and snappier than my EVO, at least until I rooted it.

@legion125 Have you tried the app "Beautiful widgets"? It is around $3 normal price, but I picked it up during the 10 cent sale. It has a lot of the widgets that Sense had. I use them for the rom I am using. You might want to check it out.

I did try it when my EVO was rooted and it worked well and looked nice w/o any performance issues. I was commenting on the effects of a stock EVO with Sense. Lately I'm getting more in a minimalist mood since I got my NS4G.

Yeah, I keep going more minimalist with my E4GT. I'm not a big fan of touchwiz so I keep trying out different roms to get closer to vanilla android. I do like the clock and weather widget though.

    • T‑Mobile Shatters World Record for 5G Uplink Speed https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-shatters-for-5g-uplink-speed The biggest news in this is that T-Mobile only recently got access to n258 after swapping their n260 for it with AT&T and they wasted no time deploying it at SoFi Stadium. Hopefully that means we're gonna start seeing a lot more mmWave deployments in stadiums soon. *fingers crossed*
    • Would anyone else be curious in helping me compile a list of quirks for various devices/modems/chipsets for SCP? I've noticed that Mediatek chipsets seem to report more information than Qualcomm. I bought a cheap Moto G 5G 2024 and notice that it displays the LTE downlink bandwidth, and the NSA information of T-Mobile, something that my S22+, which is also Qualcomm, won't do. I'm hoping that we can convince either Google or OEMs to fix their reporting on various devices. So far across all Qualcomm devices I've tested: - NR neighbor cells don't report - NR downlink or uplink bandwidth doesn't report (NR doesn't appear with CA as a result, only showing LTE) - NR signal levels randomly stop updating for various period of time before continuing to update (affects CellMapper more) - LTE CA levels randomly report and don't always update quickly when CA changes   On the S22: - LTE Timing Advance (TA) doesn't work and always reports 0, reported issue to Samsung and waiting to hear back   On the Samsung Galaxy S series (USA - Qualcomm Snapdragon): - LTE downlink or uplink bandwidth isn't reported - T-Mobile NR NSA doesn't report band information, AT&T & Verizon work OK (n5 & n77 tested)
    • Definitely. There are still a handful of Sprint sites here that haven't been decommissioned yet but also haven't been upgraded yet and they're offline. I think T-Mobile really wants to keep them but for one reason or another is running into trouble.
