I'm gonna take a walk and map for a bit.

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?

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

14dbm is a huge difference. 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

Were you ever able to check and see if there was a dbm different between the Evo LTE and S3 as far as 1x and EVDO was concerned?

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.

Hopefully the new HTC One will have a strong radio in it compared to the EVO.

I think the tower I'm getting my service from is on 30 ave. n. and 26 st.

[tampaflusa]

On 28th and 30th there is new full bars on Sensorly if you zoom in.

[bill3345]

I just mapped it.

I'll check tonight.

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.

Good catch. I stayed home sick today or I would have seen it.. That will fill in coverage nicely in area. Can't wait to see.

Ah, thanks for the clarification!

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.

They can't be all in the top. LTE requires diversity.

Make sure you let Robert know about this site so he can add it to the in progress sites on the maps
