themuffinman Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yeah...if update via ota you'll definitely lose root. I wonder if you need that update to actually get an LTE signal. Definitely not needed to get an lte signal. Now when the evo was in testing it was said to have a connectivity issue and wouldn't maintain an lte signal, which I somewhat proved a month ago when lte was live for a few days in my area where my gnex stayed connected non stop and my evo would drop in and out. It is thought that the latest update may have corrected that even though there was nothing mention in the release notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuffinman Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I'm now wondering that exact same thing. Where are you in atlanta exactly? Be as precise as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chong67 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Do not take any OTA update.Check with your cook rom DEV guy. But I rather have LTE than 3g speed. I only have my phone rooted but still on stock rom. I have not do the HTCDev thing. In 7 months, there will be another new phone out.

themuffinman Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 between buffington rd and flat shoals rd, south side.. unincorporated fulton Ok, from where flat shoals meets buffington which is right off of i85 there are two towers one just to the south and one just to the north that should have been completed over a month ago so if you are close to 85 then you should be good to go.

jman05 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The bottom speed was a 3G test I did yesterday. Everything else is LTE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldenton Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 How far are you from that intersection? I'm right by spur14, south fulton parkway. not as close to 85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldenton Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I am trying to get this as accurate for you as possible, what is the closest intersection from you? Roosevelt hwy,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuffinman Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Roosevelt hwy,. The tower closest to where south fulton hwy meets roosevelt isn't going to get upgraded until next month. The next closest two, about two miles away each(each in opposite direction from the intersection), aren't schedule to get upgrades until november. Now the next tower which is around two miles as well is already live, the exact location of that tower is buffington rd and old bill cook. So this should give you an idea of what to expect. If you are south east of south fulton and roosevelt then you should get an lte signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A regular sponsor gets a lot extra goodies as well and there are no minimum amount required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chong67 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I see. Now there must be Sprint insider here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 So can any insider see if there will be any LTE towers in cumming (near buford hwy and windermere parkway). When I bought my Evo 4g LTE the lady that sold it to me said probably no LTE this far north of ATL at launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhoucz57 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Anyone on the southside, near the airport? I'm in East Point close to downtown. Hopefully the towers over here are LTE upgraded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chong67 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If you can get 4g before, then should be able to get LTE. That was for my case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oU___Uo Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) I've been able to get on for a minute or two when I'm outside, the speed is ok. Not what I was expecting, but then I lose my connection. I'm in the Jonesboro area just off of Noah's Ark rd on the side close to Tara Blvd. Edited July 14, 2012 by oU___Uo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like that just about every sprint tower in that area has been upgraded to 4g lte months ago, I am talking as far back as march and april. No reason why you shouldn't get lte very soon.

edkristos Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 When i was leaving work this aftwernoon, my GS3 was picking up 4g at the airport. I didn't test because I was driving. Now when i got home in Morrow, I was picking it up, but no data conntecion. I rebooted and was able to do a few tests using speedtest. The fastest i got so far is 5.37 down ad 1.94 up. That is indoors though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andr3w Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I'm in Alpharetta, and I haven't gotten it yet. But I'm also running a Jelly Bean port. Is there anyone on Jelly Bean or a custom ROM getting 4G? I got LTE back in May for a long while until they completely blocked it. So i know my tower is upgraded.
