Can't remember what part of the island you said you were on but are you getting any decent 4g coverage? 

I'm mostly in the middle of st.croix but I live more to the west. Coverage is good in those areas except when I go down to Frederickstead town which is out west. ..there I can get 4G in some areas but 3G isn't so great.

They are upgrading the entire network, not just cities. So they upgrade each site the moment it is ready. It is typically faster to have a rural site ready to upgrade than an urban site. Backhaul i

Your complaints are rather pathetic. To complain right in the middle of active deployment is ridiculous. The speed in which Sprint and Samsung have converted sites in Puerto Rico is unprecedented. E

Guys. Sprint is better than ever. No more drop calls for me from UPR to Toa Baja and vice versa. Very good LTE speed. UPR Río Piedras Campus have LTE everywhere and usable 3g if LTE isnt available. I'

Thats just a matter of opinion, some people value the less is more approach.  Not everyone wants the bloated mess that is touchwiz but thats the beauty of android, CHOICE, unlike apple which has a one size fits all approach.

How can you say the one max will be a bust and its not even available yet?  Its great that you will get a note 3, I may end up with one as well being that I have several lines on my account but saying that the one max will be a bust is ridiculous being that there isn't much known about the device other than the rumors thats been coming out of china which we all should take with a grain of salt.

Honestly, if the One Max is tri-band, it won over the Galaxy Note 3 for me.

I edited the post and the subsequent quote since we don't allow any open discussion of illegal tethering on the forums.

I find most of the "features" that have been promoted with the GS4 and Note 3 to be utterly useless. Sure, it's innovation, but it's not that helpful. 

 

I'd much rather have a well built, sturdy device that I can rely on, and not that cluster* that is Touchwiz. Yeah the Max or whatever it's going to be called is taking a while, but Samsung sure messed up by not including Tri-Band LTE on the Note 3. That's utter failure in my opinion.

 

Now, I don't care if you get a Note 3 or not, that's up to you. But just don't be bashing others for what amounts to whining.

And that has no bearing on whether a device is a bust or not... I don't have LTE yet most of the places I go either, and I still think it was foolish of Samsung  - or Sprint - to release the Note 3 without Tri-Band.

Well... PAL... perhaps you should take a closer look at that FCC "leak" as well as the article by AJ, the Note 3 thread, and just about everything else out there shows the Note 3 is PCS LTE only. 

 

Sprint store reps are generally clueless unless they spend time here, I take everything they say with a grain of salt, or perhaps a block of salt.

Not going to change what we already know as fact. It's not possible to sell a dual or trip band device (any device for that matter) without FCC authorization. The FCC authorization is for a single band device.

      Roaming experience in Japan

      By cooltech6597 · Posted

      Been in Japan for the past few days, and I'm about to leave today. Google Fi/Tmus roaming in Japan only had Softbank LTE, so it was pretty slow in busy areas, especially HND (albeit usable in most places). When I got to Osaka, I bought a KDDI native SIM from Aerobile, which is an esim reseller based in Taiwan. With this au/KDDI SIM, I could get NR, and that really improved the network experience here. Even though my phone is missing many ENDC combos here, having b1 + n77 or b3 + n77 or b41 + n78 really helps out with the congested LTE network here. As a bonus, 4cc n257 also works on my s24, and I've reached peaks of 2gbps with it. I'm heading to China today, so hopefully Google Fi supports 5G on whatever carrier they roam on in the mainland. If not, I'll probably be stuck on congested LTE like the first couple of days in Japan.

      Mike, I just noticed on my S22 Ultra when connected to Verizon n261 SCP is reporting it as n257. I don't see mmwave very often and I didn't notice it at the time I was connected to it. Not sure if it matters but I'm on Visible.

      Here's my personal best, as well as the maximum speed I was able to get over 5gbps USB tethering. Millimeter wave is definitely a lot of fun, and I wish AT&T and T-Mobile would deploy a lot more of it.
