Lol so funny you said that! It actually happened to me. I got to school one morning and there it was the 4G icon on my GS3. So I tell my friend that has a GS3 on AT&T that I have 4G now. He then t

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 n

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

 

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....

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?

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

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.

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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.

      Network Vision/LTE - West Washington Market (Seattle/Puget Sound Region)

      By PedroDaGr8 · Posted

      Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By JossMan · Posted

      Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless...
