Network Vision/LTE - Missouri Market (includes St. Louis)

[tbetz]

1. Tri-band phones will not be able to do simultaneous voice and data(except for wifi)

2. VoLTE is still a ways away.

3. When you are on LTE and you get a call, it falls back via a technology called CSFB. When the call is disconnected you get LTE back almost immediately. Texts do not require a fallback.

No problems with a single transmission path. The switch back and forth for calls is seamless, and texts are tunneled through LTE.

 

SvLTE is on the way out. No tri-band device will support it, and most new devices on other carriers will not support it either.

 

If it's an important feature, you'll have to stick with an older device.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll have to think about it. Glad to hear the LTE connection comes back fast, right now I've had periods (more than a second, less than a minute) with my M7 where it showed the "no data" warning switching between 3g and LTE and back, as I drive around west county. May not be a directly related issue, but I'm sure you can see where I would have had a concern.

 

The biggest gain with SVLTE for me is when I'm using Google maps navigation to drive somewhere unfamiliar, and the person I'm going to see calls for a status update right when I need the navigation the most. :-) I suppose maps caches the route, but I'll probably want to research how much. Also, it would be lame to have to hang up to research restaurants/attractions in an area while coordinating with someone on the phone, but I guess that's what SMS is for. :-) Anyone have any luck with a good Android VOIP app/service?

I hope those towers are ok with this hail & high wind!

 

Here's the runoff of hail from my neighbor's porch, with a size 13 shoe & banana for scale:

I just finished driving down 70 west from downtown STL to O'fallon and had LTE the entire way.

I'm seriously considering getting the LG G Flex so I can have Spark from the original HTC One.... I like the M8 but I want to go for a bigger screen and don't see anything else on the horizon to rival.... Suggestions before I do?

The M8 is great but I'm looking for the phablet size so HTC One Maxx, Galaxy Note 3, and LG G Flex meet the around 6 in size and the flex is only spark of those. I believe the G3 is closer to M8 and GS5 size.

Uh hold out for the note 4 then? Shouldn't it be coming out in a few months (to meet the yearly upgrade schedule)?

Give you a heads up. My G2 had issues with B26 in the STL area. Granted we don't have it  yet my phone kept dropping signal. I disabled B26 and hasn't had that issue since.

Keep us posted on how things hold up for Opening Day. It will be nice to see if Sprint can handle the load better down there this baseball season.

I hope it holds up better than Verizon did during the NLCS.  I couldn't even send a text.  Guess I'll find out in a few hours.

I'm debating taking my Triband hotspot off seasonal standby just to get the band 41 access that a handful of others will get to play on.

Finally! Scottrade Center!!!
