How come Sprint doesn't get...

[Ascertion]

A fancy 4G icon on their phones? AT&T has this.

 

And Verizon has this.

 

Both of those icons show up as their default 4G icon on the phone. Sprint should create their own for the hell of it.

Well, it helps if you actually have 4G service.... Something both AT&T and Verizon have here in Metro Detroit.

Clever. I just so happen to have a 4G icon lit on my phone however.

Time for a developer to make a rom... how about just OMG! for the icon?

I am actually thinking about doing this in whatever I put together for my GS3.

And Sprint has LTE in places right now where both AT&T and VZW do not. Regardless, Sprint will have LTE in Detroit within the next year. Deployment takes time; it cannot happen everywhere at once. Whining, passive aggressive comments like yours do not speed up that process.

Going with the Missouri thinking here.... SHOW ME! I will believe it when I see it. I have had my Note 2 since launch day, have traveled a bit, and have yet to see a 4G icon.... Don't even know if it works yet....

So, what...you have traveled to Ann Arbor, Flint, maybe Toledo? I kid, I kid, but you have just not been to any markets with live LTE. Get over it. That you have not crossed paths with any LTE is nothing more than historical and geographical contingency.

 

Network Vision deployment is ongoing in many markets across the country. LTE is already live in many markets across the country. If you do not know that by now, that is a failure to SHOW YOURSELF because Network Vision schedules and progress reports are readily available here at S4GRU.

Not only that, we're all Sensorly addicts, so you can get a visual map there.

 

Although, AJ, I am curious: where does Sprint have LTE that VZW does not? Obviously, Sprint is beating out ATT, and will be soon in the markets they're not...

Because of Network Vision's scattershot site upgrade strategy, Sprint LTE has beaten VZW LTE to some hinterland areas in some markets. That is certainly true in the Kansas market where I live.

Heh, hinterland. That's not a word I've heard much. Outside of roleplaying games.

 

I was curious, mostly. Sadly, such an argument likely does little to placate Sir Detroit. Michigan's already covered in VZW's LTE, even many rural areas. The house my folks live at (a house a half mile down a dirt road in the middle of a forest in the middle of a valley near some farmland) has LTE from them. However, looking at the Sponsor Maps, Sprint will likely beat VZW on "everything in the northern half of the lower peninsula". Interesting.

Hinterland? Geographical reference?

I can make custom icons all day, but they won't be marketed by Sprint and official. T-Mobile also has their lack of a 4g icon (I know HSDPA+ isn't 4g, but they market it as such.)

You know that some idiot is going to say that sprint doesn't have 4g LTE. That they only have 4g and that 4g LTE is better.

...if not an Iphone 5, the fruity logo phone has the "LTE" icon lit when in 4G zone

Or the iPhone5 is the only phone on sprint that has 4g LTE and all the others are 4g only.

I already have to explain Sprints separate 4g technologies all the time. :'(

You should tell them that Sprint is like AT&T -- it has two "4G" technologies. But unlike AT&T, Sprint has no FauxG.

I was actually surprised that my gs3 had no 4g splash screen when i turned it on and it does not say anything about 4g on the back like my og evo did. granted the evo was the first sprint 4g phone, even if it was wimax.

Love the design in principle, but somehow the chosen font just doesn't seem right.

He should use comics sans for LTE.

[digiblur]

Yeah the lte letters look funny.

Meh, I can change the LTE font and see what fits better.
