My S3 shows 4G but not LTE.

 

I did find out how to switch off LTE on the S4 going through the settings menu.

The only 4G the S3 does is LTE. The new update has the LTE icon but you should also see in the settings it says LTE.

Thanks to the selflessness of one of our members I now have a new shiny HTC ONE to play with! I am speechless! Its only a loaner but this is amazing!

Last night I had the Mifi at Urban Chestnut for an event and was pulling crazy good Band 41 LTE. I was feeling cocky, so I challenged friends with a Verizon phone & AT&T phone to a speedtest.

2 RRUs per sector? Are you looking at the right sites? There should be 4 RRUs per sector.

 

The one by my job looks similar to this. I will try and get a picture tomorrow.

The third one is is behind the one at the bottom.  Dead give away there are 3 is there are 6 RF cables, Ericsson RRUs only have 2 RF ports per RRU.

Ok. I will get a picture tomorrow. Sorry still learning some things so please don't shoot me.  :lol: I just know it is frustrating with the sub par speed being as close as I am to the tower. No buildings or obstructions in between.

LTE is 4G and the S3 is LTE not wimax. By default it shows 4G like my Note 2 did before Signalcheck pro.

 

You  can find the spec's lots of places but one of them is here http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Sprint_id7099

 

 

The only 4G the S3 does is LTE. The new update has the LTE icon but you should also see in the settings it says LTE.

 

 

Guys.... I am a TOTAL idiot!!

 

I have an S2, not an S3. So I am pulling in WiMax not LTE on the S2.

 

That said, my WiMax is a lot more dependable than the LTE

 

Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry, I should have said every site should have 3 OR 4 RRUs. High capacity sites have 4, the rest have 3, and there are 3 in the picture. They're often mounted right next to each other, so if you get it from an angle, it might look like just 2.

 

The icon says 4GLTE...

Didn't used to, used to just say 4G. The 4.3 update for Samsung and the new Spark devices says 4GLTE.

Now I understand... I was so very confused! I can see WiMax being better in some places, especially downtown right now, and anywhere else there are more legacy sites than NV sites. But that ratio is going down every day in favor of NV sites, so I really think whatever speed issues you are seeing will pass. I know one site on the south side of Springfield is experiencing slow speeds, but only on one sector. I know that once another site in line with that sector comes online, speeds will come back up.

Will sprint or either of my phones freak out on me if I take the sim out of my GS4 and put it in my iPhone 5 for a few mins to verify HEX?

Sadly, it turns out the GS4 sim was too big for the iPhone.

At least your phones remain emotionally stable.

      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....
