Hey everyone. I'm new at posting on this forum but I'm always reading it. So- I finally decided to register.

 

On Monday I was driving on 275 north on the St. Pete side approaching the Howard Frankland (right by the new Welcome to St Pete sign). There's a tower on the northbound side of the highway near the St Pete sign and the 4th Street / Ulmerton exits. I saw a bunch of technicians working on the tower, and there were probably about four or five unmarked white utility vans parked there too. Not sure if they were doing anything for Sprint though. Does anyone know?

Is that the monopole your're talking about

[Feech]

I just passed that pole. Didn't see any panels up or workers looked like there was a generator on site though. That's a hard site to scope because either you have to stop on the highway or from the Pinellas side have to be going to Tampa cuz there ain't no turning around once you get to the tower.

I believe it is, i drove by that site a little over a week ago and also seen a crew working there. It it the one on the east side of 275 where 4th street drops on to 275.

I could be wrong but it looks like they recently set a new shelter there.. That likely wouldn't be Sprint, but that site is so cramped it looks like anything is possible plus with is being on the water I guess they might

Feels like better build quality, Sense functionality, camera, cheaper(not a big reason lol), screen. Overall I have just been tremendously impressed by the EVO and not so much over the GS3. Even after asking several times on this site, I wasnt convinced the LTE issues weren't anything but a software issue.

 

I have 30 days to exchange it so hopefully I'll get to test LTE soon.

Sigh, the EVO doesn't like to connect to 3G without cycling airplane mode. Doesn't seem like SVDO works either.

Looks like there is a large (171MB) update for my phone. Guess I should update it before proceeding to decoding something doesn't work how it should lol.

That's huge.. I don't remember anything like that

Pretty normal update size I believe. I think the last update for the GS3 was in the range of 200MB.

Seems to be much better now.

That's the update that contained the supposed LTE fix and a few others. Think it was from August of this year.

Can't speak for LTE, but definitely helped 3G.

Probably the update that came out in August for the rest of us. Wonder why it wasn't on the to begin with.

My guess is Sprint didn't sell a bunch of them

Dunno.. I was glad to get rid of it though. Got my coverage back I lost too. I can hold 3g again through some low areas where the EVO would drop to 1x (ran a rom with the 1x icon fix).

Hate to turn this into another HTC sucks conversation but I have 2 people I work with all of us had OG EVOs 2 of us upgraded to the LTE. He would tell me and still does that he can even hold his 3G signal like his OG EVO and the other co-worker that still had hers would hold her signal when his would drop. Guess there is something to it

I picked up LTE both ways to Cape Canaveral on I-4. Saw it on my way back this morning with Sensorly running.
