poyo Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 whats the fastest speed we've see in the area so far? Seems like most people are getting 12-15 mbps with highs in the 18-19mbps range. My gf got 30mbps on her S3, i'm just wondering wether that tower has better backhaul or if its been optimized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeforLTE1 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 what was the dbm difference between the two? One was at like 100 and thr other was 114dbm giver or take. It gets lte everywhe the S3 does unlike my Gnexus lol just seems to be harder for it to get and stay connected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the Evo LTE and S3 i usually see ~8dbm side by side. just to give you an idea, 8 dbm is about how much you loose by going indoors or the difference between betting 1-3 mpbs and 10-12mbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 There's a crane at the tower on 66th just north of park Blvd installing nv panels. It's the tower that has what looks like a Doppler radar on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tampaflusa Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hopefully the new HTC One will have a strong radio in it compared to the EVO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpenceSouth Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hopefully the new HTC One will have a strong radio in it compared to the EVO. I believe it is actually the same radio as the S3. I wonder how much the metal backing comes into play here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiblur Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I believe it is actually the same radio as the S3. I wonder how much the metal backing comes into play here... Chipset yes. Transceiver no. Many people confuse the two as one. Sent from my little Note2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much the metal backing comes into play here... all the antennas are in the top plastic half. i know the lte modem is built into the Qualcomm chipset in the same die as the processor. But i dont know if theres a separate amplifier component. Hopefully soon it wont matter as much as we'll get the dead/fringe spots filled in.
