  1. The only way I know to do LTE only on Samsung LTE devices is to go into ##DATA#. You will need your MSL. However, be warned. I've heard of people having to do a complete factory reset to get their device to be able to go back to CDMA. Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner

  4. Let's keep the Android vs. iPhone discussions to a more topic appropriate thread. Thanks. Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner
  5. I think I'm going to adopt a saying, "Data Speed Upgrade does not necessarily mean LTE deployed, but LTE deployed will show Data Speed upgrade." I've started watching sites marked with "Data Speed Upgrade" only in my market. So far, no dice. But I will continue to keep my eyes to the skies! Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner
  6. This is great news. I may be headed to Wichita Falls in a few weeks. Would be great to test it out. Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner

  8. I just saw an Ericsson trick at the McDonald's drive thru. LTE must be coming. Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner

  10. The 25XXX series PRL will run on LTE just fine on the GS3. Robert
  11. I do not live in a LTE market. I only use LTE when I travel. I may be in Wichita Falls in a few weeks and will perform testing on it then. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner

  13. If? Yes. All markets will. When? Next year. Robert via Samsung Note II using Forum Runner
  14. Either the answer is No, because they haven't yet. Or maybe, if they can figure out a solution. I'm not sure they have even figured out the problem. Robert
  15. I didn't see your post as disrespectful at all. I just was taking an opportunity to explain my background with the EVO LTE connectivity issues. Robert
  16. I am speaking of my personal observations in a completely deployed FIT area in Waco, Texas. In areas between sites when the signal would drop pretty low, the EVO LTE would often lose connection where the others could maintain. If the signal stayed strong or moderate, the EVO LTE would stay connected. And then after losing it and getting back into stronger coverage, the other devices were still on 4G, but the EVO LTE had to be cycled again to get back to 4G. It was very annoying. Adjusting the scan timer would not have any effect on keeping a signal, only, possibly in initially connecting or reconnecting to LTE. In our tests, adjusting the LTE scan timer had no effect whatsoever on the time it took for the EVO to find a LTE signal on its own. And it was always dead last in ever finding a signal on its own. But most of the time, we got tired of waiting for the EVO to find the signal when all the other devices in our test had connected, that we would cycle through airplane mode. The EVO is a dog when it comes to LTE Connectivity. It only becomes really apparent when you use it side by side with other Sprint LTE devices. S4GRU owns every Sprint LTE device except the iPhone and Samsung Victory. Robert
  17. Thanks for the clarification. I've always wondered. Robert
  18. This is no different than the Galaxy S-III. The issue with the EVO LTE wasn't just cycling airplane mode to connect, but it wouldn't stay connected. In areas where the GS3, Viper and Galaxy Nexus would. So far, other than the iPhone, none of the Android devices are fast at finding LTE signals on their own on the Sprint network. If you wait awhile, it will connect on its own. But if you want LTE immediately after getting into a coverage area, you will have to cycle. Robert
