Hi all, I'm very glad to have found this site. I got my Photon Q about 5 days ago and had my first 4G 'sighting' the other day in West L.A. 90025. Woke my device up to see the 4G icon, but with no bars, then it went immediately back to 3G. I look forward to lots more!

 

What is the best way to monitor how much 4G data you have used? So far on the Q the only way I think I have found is by going into 'Activate Device', and it seems to give some data info. However, the reported 4G data seems way higher than what I've noticed. Anyway, thanks all!

For the first time I noticed some small cells in West L.A. So far, the parts of the city that have multiple deployments include: Koreatown, parts of Hollywood, NoHo and now West LA. There's probab

I am failing to see the point of posting repetitive bad 3G speed tests. We all experience poor Sprint 3G performance in many places on the network. Help me to understand how this is helpful or goes

1x800 in Hawaiian Gardens! As close as I have seen to SBC so far. Might just be testing because it keeps going back and forth to 1xRTT.

Are there any S4GRUers willing to filling a blank spot on the map? (I'm looking at your rayluis1988) LOL I'm still under contract til mid part of next year, but I am still interested to see if a patch where I live has LTE coverage. All of the areas I'm surrounded by do.

Sadly I'm in the Marina del Rey area between Admiralty Way/Lincoln Blvd/Washington Blvd. Seeing a spot that should be filled in is totally like me. Like if I see a loop in a cord, and although it's not doing anything to affect quality, I will go out of my way to straighten it out.

that are should have,u are surrounding for LTE all around,the reason might be that anyone has not drove by that triangle.

 

I guess I am still miffed that I cannot get WiMAX outside of my residence, let alone inside it. I realize that LTE has greater signal strength, but you can color me skeptical.

if you're willing to spend about $100, there are plenty of Galaxy S IIIs supposedly in excellent/mint condition on craigslist selling around $300. Then, turn around and sell the Epic 4G Touch for about $200. Now, you have an LTE phone AND still have your upgrade in 2013.

I a little weary of buying cellphones (or anything expensive) off of Craigslist. I feel I have a little more peace of mind with eBay but the prices are more expensive.

Or you can try the marketplace in the XDA Developers forums

Has anyone been able to get a 4G LTE signal inside of STAPLES Center? I've seen the Sensorly map for the area around STAPLES Center, has LTE looking up and down Figueroa St and the I-110/Harbor Freeway but interestingly enough no 4G LTE inside STAPLES Center. Maybe it hasn't been reported on Sensorly, although it does seem odd that if there is no 4G LTE in STAPLES Center, why wouldn't they focus it into the arena?

I went there for a preseason game earlier and my LTE wouldn't touch ANY 4g in the area. This was before i did the "lte only" option on the *#*#4636#*#* menu. If I'm more then a block (major intersection) away, i get no signal at all. I'm at work and have no signal in the building, but if i go out to the plant i get it. Just wack.

I have not been back to Staples since Game 6 of the Stanley Cup. GO KINGS GO.

 

But that last time, I recall pulling 10 megs down on an Epic 4G Touch both inside Staples and the surrounding LA Live area. I've had the Sensorly app running on my commute whether I'm taking Flower or Figueroa through Downtown.

I think that's because your phone is a 4G WiMax phone, not a 4G LTE phone. I used to have the first generation Evo 4G and always got great WiMax coverage inside STAPLES Center.

I'll be back down in LA tomorrow. I'll try to get some of the area to the southeast of the 105/110 intersection while I'm down there on my newly ICS'd Viper.

      You could also just sign up for Project Genesis directly, $400 for the moto edge+ 2023 and $25/month for service.

      Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
