S4GRU Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 We have updated the NV Sites Complete thread with more completed sites LA this past weekend. However, it will still be a long time coming before market launch occurs. Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazman69 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Any news on Austin? It was originally expected to launch this month and now it is listed as September. However, there are still no sites listed as complete in the Austin metro area (not considering Waco). But it seems like they are doing something as my once reliable, although sometimes slow data, has become useless a lot more often now. I am hoping that is a sign they are working on the towers.

There is no new news on Austin. If towers don't start coming live soon, I will revise my estimate to October. It is disappointing to watch this market slip.

However, it will still be a long time coming before market launch occurs. Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner A "long time" as in October? Or a "long time" as in late 2013? Should we expect that the LA roll-out will slip? At least they are making progress. With the two 4G/3G sites shown on the completed site map, it seems like we might reasonably hope to see more of those popping up soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdiao Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 well i just replaced my Blackberry Bold for a Sammy Galaxy S3 in the hopes that NYC will be NV LTE live by October/November. Still have my old Epic to access WiMax until then (to be replaced by iPhone 5 presumably). Keep telling myself be patient, be patient. Hopefully all the initial "connection issues" will have been well resolved by the time NYC gets some LTE love from Sprint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandonlmbrt Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Anyone know the Charlotte/ Raleigh markets are so barren with just a few blue sites, as opposed to all the other ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendokken3 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Deployment is just getting under way in the Charlotte market. I'm beginning to see NV panels and RRU's on some towers around me now. In the coming months those ' blue sites ' will start to spread out across the market !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat8635 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Sprint shoudl have stated that he LTE rollout in the initial 5 cities would start on July 15th. I live in SA and have more places that I am still 3G than LTE. I am constantly updating my PRL and looking for system updates and 1 our of 10 times I switch into 4g, by my home and office which are both well within the coverage area! Thanks so much for this site as it is much better info that what Sprint has been providing! My NEXUS could be outdated before I even get lte.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTE does not run off a PRL, but rather the internal SIM card. The only thing updating your PRL will do relative to LTE is after you complete a PRL update, it will scan for a LTE connection. But you could also get it to do that by cycling through CDMA only and CDMA/LTE network settings. Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Admin, can you do an up to date coverage map for Fort Worth, Texas? Zip code 76123 We are limited to do coverage maps for only up to 30 sites in one map. And they are a lot of work and time consuming. But I will add Fort Worth to the To Do List. It may take some time before it gets posted. Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
