ChadBroChillz Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I thought Sprint was going with LTE release 10, not release 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I thought Sprint was going with LTE release 10, not release 9. No release 10 until next year. The upgrade involves no hardware changes. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadBroChillz Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 No release 10 until next year. The upgrade involves no hardware changes. Robert Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was release 10, but at least they do not have to make hardware changes like Verizon or ATT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Newhart Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 They could have : Grey = No coverage/roaming. I do find Sprint's coverage maps to be the most accurate among the cell companies in my area. I do wish they'd make the maps easier to read, the different shades of green are on purpose to hide roaming with native coverage. They should make this clearer, as in greens for sprint and anything else to anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 They could have : Grey = No coverage/roaming. Seriously, is there any question that the white/grey areas depicted on the map indicate roaming or no coverage? Regardless, the map is intended to display Network Vision improvements to *native* CDMA1X/EV-DO footprint. Inclusion of any roaming footprint would not be germane.

Don't know what else you want... seems easy to read and definitely the best of the coverage maps from the carriers. Guess people are just very nit picky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess people are just very nit picky. Go to their coverage site. http://coverage.sprintpcs.com/IMPACT.jsp Zoom out a little, take a look at the coverage for: 1) Sprint coverage - signal strength varies 2) Off-Network Roaming green and slightly off green. Another colour should be used, blue/red/yellow/orange...anything. http://www.olypen.com/jinj2/pix/junk/coverage.png This is not being picky. They do this on purpose, as do the other cell companies.

lordsutch Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Well, the reason you can't tell a difference is that there are no areas of "Sprint coverage - signal strength varies" on that map. Normally you'd only see that in affiliate and wholesale markets where Sprint doesn't have access to the tower locations, which there are fewer of these days.
