oh dang cause I really wanted the evo LTE! Do u think that HTC will make another sprint device this year?

 

The buffed up 3G performance should be well enough for most all people tbh in deployment areas....LTE is just an extra perk, I wouldn't let being in an active deployment market vs not determine to get the EVO or not...its not like ur phone is going to completely suck...I had mine in Atlanta and the thing was a champ!... Lte came and went but the overall connectivity of and performance of the device was 10 fold better than in a non deployed market.

So u wouldn't recommend the evo 4G then?

 

No, do not get the EVO LTE. Or if you have it, get rid of it. I hate being part of the crowd; I want to be the only person who has one.

 

;)

There is more to a phone that just lte connectivity. If your number 1 priority is getting a reliable lte signal then I would say just get a gnex but other than that the evo lte is an awesome device. I highly doubt you would have any regrets if you bought one. From the beautiful display to how responsive the phone is(especially since the resent ota) you won't be disappointed, not to mention the excellent battery life, you really can't go wrong.

Well im not in a market thats going to get LTE until maybe summer or hopefully sooner of 2013 and I am going to be taking my moms upgrade to get the phone that i want cause my laptop broke and my iphone is not going to be able to handle all my multimedia stuff like watching youtube and stuff like that. And give her my iphone 4s cause she likes it better than her og evo and then when it comes down to my upgrade date in Aug 2013 get my upgrade and give her the evo lte if she wants. But I wouldnt want to get it if it has a bunch of signal issues considering she is complaining about all the dropped calls and such.

 

Edit: Also do u think that the evo LTE is getting better with LTE and 3g signal issues i heard people complaining about, with the latest update and updates in the future get better?

There are not big connectivity issues don't be worried by that as over 3G and regular stuff it is rock solid....

 

Mine is like a rock and had zero connectivity issues or dropped calls....I don't count the lte stuff bc right now that stuff is up in air anyway and not the main reason someone should be buying a device right now anyway...

 

Screen and everything else about the device I give heads up over the sgs3 imho....

 

Tbh, you can't go wrong with either....I am glad to see Sammy get radios right for once though....

NV Sites Complete map will include the first SF Bay and PR/VI sites accepted by Sprint. Also will include a hefty update of LTE sites in the Chicago. Also, the biggest Kansas week ever, with a couple of new cities. Exciting week.

You guys make me regret my EVO purchase more and more thinking I should have waited for the S3. But I tell myself I needed forced roaming too much each time ;)

 

I'm curious what kind of impact Hurricane Isaac had on their Ericsson crews as they also had to deal with this in LA, MS, AL, etc.

...and all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average.

Is that because of the Powdermilk Biscuits?

 

Sounds like a great week of updates!

Me too. I'm stoked to start testing lte. I had a choice between route 80 and 70. I chose 80 for chi then down to 70 for kc. Don't tell my wife that though. She thinks its for the BBQ. :-)

You mean there's more than 4? Woohoo!

 

Haha, kidding aside, excited to see the progress! Might explain why I've had 4G everywhere I've gone lately.

Last time I was in New Mexico with a native, they insisted that the only correct way to order was to ask for it "christmas".

 

Yes, if you want both, then you ask for "Christmas."

Hey Richard, how often do you usually update the completed sites map? Once a month?

 

I'm not sure how often Richard does it. However, I do it usually every week. :hee:

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
