  1. It should go from one to the other without any issues. However, doing it while with an active data session, like downloading or streaming, that would be very difficult from EVDO to LTE. However, eHRPD to LTE should be without an issue. Robert
  2. 4G LTE Deployment is already under way in LA County. It will be later in the year for Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego County to begin. Ventura County will not begin until 2013. Robert
  3. We have had ALU reports of 800 in LA Metro, DC and Baltimore markets too. It's not a vendor issue, but rather a spectrum availability issue, by market. I have not had any Ericsson 800 reports yet. But I'm going to be searching for some in Texas this Labor Day weekend. Robert
  4. Your company? Do you have Verizon or Sprint? Your statement of Sprint is like a Caveman using rocks and sticks is really ridiculous. Sprint is deploying a more state of the art network than Verizon has. And you are in an active deployment area. What do you expect? This seems like you are trolling. Robert
  5. No. But you will continue to see more LTE sites go live. And as long as they don't block them, they will be usable. However, Sprint has said they will announce a market launch date at least 45 days out from launch. And Sprint has never formally made one peep about Boston. I think October 1st is the earliest you can expect a Boston launch. But it will probably be later. But if you get LTE before the launch, use it! Smoke 'em if ya got 'em! Robert
  6. We do know that the San Fernando Valley will receive 4G LTE from Sprint. And we do know the entire LA market is being upgraded. However, the SFV is not being specifically targeted for completion right now. And a whole bunch just din't get completed the other night. Network Vision deployment in the LA County market is more like a shotgun approach. A few sites are being worked on in all corners of the market. And then when those are done, a few more. Then a few more. Below is a map showing all the completed sites in the SFV to date (which is shown in our NV Sites Complete Map in the Sponsor section). While this map may look impressive, note that these don't even make up half of all the sites in the area. It's a good start. We here at S4GRU have watched this map week after week add more sites. Back in April there was only one site in this area. And next week there will be even more sites, and the week after that. While calling Sprint may yield some generic information which may or may not be accurate, here at S4GRU you can follow along the process weekly. Very specific down to each tower. So you can see that we are very well informed here. For comparison, here is the SFV site map after Network Vision is complete: Please note there is no magical 4G switch. And eHRPD is no special indicator of LTE. To say if you have eHRPD means you will have LTE one day is pretty generically uninformative. Did you know that eHRPD is being deployed over the entire network? Also, did you know that Sprint is deploying LTE over the entire network? So the statement the rep made is true. However, it is no indication of when. He could say the same to a person calling from Macon, Georgia right now, and that statement would also be true. Robert
  7. T-Mobile's prices have been rock bottom for the past year. Tmo is in a desperate situation to stop the loss of subscribers. I think Sprint will just hold steady. It will help maintain the status quo...unlimited as priced. Robert

  9. With the GS3 LG8 update, I was not able to manually or automatically able to get the update for almost 2 weeks. I could have downloaded it from a third party and applied it, but I was curious to see how long it would take. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner
  10. So, is this thing inside a panel? In all the NV pics I have seen to date, there are manual threaded rods that can be used to adjust the downtilt of the panel mechanically. However, if there is some sort of physical antenna manipulation inside the panel, then this is something I have not been aware of. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner
  11. All I have to say is...good luck with that. Maybe one day I too can get an extra sense of when a Sprint rep makes stuff up or tells the truth. I wish I was cool, too. Damn, missed it by that much! Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

  14. This is the first report of work in the Philly market. It should be under way now. This is good news. Thanks for the affirmation. Keep us posted. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner
  15. I am not aware of any changes since our article. Work will likely start this Fall in the Oregon market. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner
