Ok, so New Orleans won't have the 2500 MHZ band but will the 800 MHZ band be deployed in new orleans? Any way to check that?

 

That is not true.  Sprint has said that they are planning to expand the 2500 MHz LTE nationwide to all Sprint towers but they will begin doing that in 2014 and will take some time.  The first priority is to overlay the entire Wimax network with 2500 MHz LTE first and then expand 2500 MHz LTE nationwide.  Eventually 2500 MHz LTE will be in New Orleans.  About 800 MHz LTE, New Orleans will get that sometime in 2014.

Guys, the official training video from LG sent out to sprint store employees spends a bit of time talking about it being triband. I really wouldn't worry.   Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4

Very limited time with it today. Obviously the device is not activated so I can't do to much as far as band selection and such. Also I don't have the MSL. Nothing in the quick start guide about

Ok so in the Los Angeles area which areas are td available? Is all of the Wimax sites also td or is it just some that are

S4GRU is a non profit, member supported site. That TD-LTE site info in LA is available as a perk to Premier sponsors.

You can find that information if you become a Premier Sponsor.  There are TD-LTE site maps that outline the LTE 2600 progress in the Premier Sponsors forum.

The surprising part is that Dan likes to sharpshoot from the perimeter, while Son likes to dominate in the low post.  You think it would be just the opposite.

No, I always eyed Dan as the sharpshooter.

I think some may need a photo to catch my drift...

That is fine and when December comes around and you are able to donate to premier sponsor, you can find out more details then.   I am sure you will start finding clues as to which areas in Los Angeles will have LTE 2600 when the LG G2 comes out and people start reporting which locations they were able to get LTE 2600.  I know I will be.

Yea just wanted some info... Is there another way to actually map it because Sensorly only shows just lte Wimax and 3g.

As long as my TD- LTE is burning hot in 40MHz flavor I will not object, and I make no disrespect in the way of Grand Master.

I believe I am in a market (Seattle) with some TD-LTE so I'm excited to try out the LG G2.  Is the G2 expected to be able to connect to TD-LTE out of the box or will it require some special update that Sprint will have to push out first?  It is looking like this will be the first handset to have this capability unless the One Max release date ends up being sooner.

That is the million dollar question.

According to many case makers, the T-Mobile and Sprint versions share the same exterior.

 

I know the case makers say that, but, you have actually saw/held the Sprint version. I want to be sure the Sprint version does not have the mic hole on the back like the AT&T version has.

 

I am looking to purchase this case: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Matte-Flexible-Sprint-T-Mobile/dp/B00EZCFT8W/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1382033153&sr=8-6&keywords=lg+g2

and just want to make sure I order the right one.

So, when ordering a case, order the T-mobile version of the case?

 

Cases are sold as one Tmobile/AT&T/Sprint/International model.  Cases are not broken down by carrier.  My guess is that for most cases the AT&T 3rd mic hole will be covered in the case.

Yes, for that one the Sprint/T-Mobile version will work with it.

It says Sprint and Tmobile only.  So yes it won't have the mic hole in the back.

I will try to remember to check if the mic is on the back today.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
