optimummind Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Woohoo ~! What a pleasant surprise this afternoon. Was just chilling today on my front porch here in Orange near Batavia and Fletcher and 4G kicked in. So I ran 3 Speedtests and I got 19Mbps down and 6.7Mbps up. Hopefully this isn't another short-lived testing phase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deep Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm hoping one of these day, hopefully soon, we will see an acceptance update with at least 50 lte for OC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimummind Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It's been over 24 hrs and LTE is still active at home. Before, LTE lasted for only a few hrs before it became 3G again. Hopefully, it stays this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL that would be a good dream. But it'll never happen. It seems as if though the pace has been set at around 5-10 per week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCandroid Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Bums me out that the site I need accepted isn't listed in the nv complete map, only in the oc/la map. I am assuming that means it isn't scheduled for a good while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming that means it isn't scheduled for a good while. Doesn't mean anything. Just means it hasn't been accepted yet. Unless someone is regularly reporting progress on that site to us, they could be working on it right now and we wouldn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAREND Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Even if the site itself is not labeled on the NV map? I thought the 3g sites mean it has not been worked on but is scheduled? You should be looking at the NV Sites Completed map. If the tower is listed there and is red, it is only 3g accepted, yellow is 4G accepted, etc. That does not mean they are transmitting, but they have gone through sprints system as having had some upgrades accepted.

kwongsam1985 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) It's so quiet in here...must be all the humid / muggy weather we've been experiencing. Just to report in. I still have been experiencing 4G WiMax in the Garden Grove and Santa Ana region ranging from 0.8 mbps to 10 mbps. I have no luck in the Irvine and Arcadia area. Any luck with LTE users? I'm looking into upgrading my phone to the Galaxy Mega which is uses LTE. Edited September 3, 2013 by kwongsam1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCandroid Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 It really just depends where you are and if you are close to an accepted cell site. Everywhere I go I am right outside LTE range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbaseball3 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Just got back from modesto and wow, what horrid service. Some of my wife's family lives up there and we go visit every year. I've watched it just deteriorate to basically un-usable. Service was spotty up until south end of the grapevine. So glade to be back in service areas with LTE. Maybe I'm spoiled but there is definitely a reason to be appreciative with what we do have. It could be worse LOL.Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimummind Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I'm happy to report I'm still getting LTE at home, the Batavia and Fletcher area, since august 19th. Now, if Sprint would turn on 4G at my work, the Katella and Tustin area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking into upgrading my phone to the Galaxy Mega which is uses LTE. I tend to have decent LTE (also around 10 Mbps) in Garden Grove, Westminster, and Santa Ana, and I also have no luck in the Tustin/Irvine area. I work in Irvine, pretty close to JW Airport, and I get spotty LTE in our parking structure, but I would definitely say it's not reliable yet.

trojanman05 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Was in NYC over the Labor Day weekend for the US Open and the LTE service is great there! Stayed in Manhattan, and was in Flushing for the Open, and pretty much everywhere I went I had a great LTE signal. Even indoors at The Met. Never did a speed test, but whenever I used my phone, it was pretty fast. Even on the subway (it goes above ground in Queens), I was getting constant LTE service (some areas switched to 3G, but for not too long) as we were moving along the track. Can't wait to get that kind of service here (hopefully). I get a very strong LTE signal at work (near MacArthur and Jamboree), off and on signal at the gym (near the Spectrum), and no signal at home (Irvine). I guess don't really need at home since I use WiFi, but a steady signal at the gym would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Cost to damn much and they would just raise the price on membership prices again. Look how much a 24hr pass is a month. Add an IT dept that has the brains to add WiFi and all the APs need not to mention all the bandwidth people would suck out of them but cross your fingers cause I have been waiting for that day to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't necessarily need to add an IT department. They could get a business solution through say ATT, Comcast, Timer Warner, Verizon, etc. Usually with more business classes they get on call ITs. I have a buddy that works for a 3d party IT company that goes and fixes down internet service. Since he is on call most of the employees are salary based for legal reasons. Overall, I do agree that it would cost entirely too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCandroid Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hey, I am curious. If a cell panel goes out on a none LTE accepted site will that initiate and upgrade when they go out and fix it? I have an issues that started happening a few hours ago. My phone can not make/receive calls or texts yet my phone still cuts in and out of LTE from a different site that has accepted LTE(LTE cutting in and out is normal as the site is pretty far). I am assuming that my phone relies on the closest site for 1x and Evdo and tries to get LTE from that further site. My only conclusion is that the site closest is down. I had to drive to a different LTE accepted site to make a few texts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTCandroid Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I am pretty heated right now. I have to tell friends and family if they want to get a hold of me to use viber or email me. If I did not have WiFi at home we would be back in the stone age since we do not have a home phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
