-75 to -81 would be full bars on RSRP. And close to it with RSSI. No big deal. If you were getting -75dBm before and it was showing mid signal, then that was inaccurate before. Robert via Samsung Galaxy S-III 32GB using Forum Runner

So you believe that the Sprint GS3 is a miraculous World Phone that Sprint is intentionally blocking world phone capabilities? And you believe their motive for blocking is to see if there is demand? That's so crazy. The Moto Photon Q is coming soon and it is supposed to be a world phone. Why would Sprint be OK with unlocking the potential with the Moto phone but needs to make it secret in the GS3? This thread is absurd. It is obvious that there are some aspects of the GS3 that offer some of the necessities to be a world phone, like the chip. But all the features are not there. Like the antennas, filters and amplifiers. Software cannot overcome such physical limitations. This reminds me of the quack threads I used to see where WiMax devices could be updated with software to run Sprint FD-LTE, but Sprint is choosing to hide that. Even if it were true, Sprint reps would not have that kind of information on their screens. There is no, 'secret device information that we don't want the general public to know section' in Sprint CSR's screen selections. This info is not available to CSR's...period. Get a hold of yourself, man! Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

You shouldn't depend on schedule maps to determine where signals are definitely going to be. There are sites on the schedule maps that get delayed all the time. Backhaul doesn't show up, another site is given priority, equipment problems, and now we hear about bird nests...LOL. Schedule maps are a schedule in the future, not a definite completion list.

The maps are extremely optimistic. They are based on -110dBm RSSI thresholds while the device is used outside without ground clutter obstacles. But they are only currently showing coverage from sites that have been completed, not future sites. And of course, when you factor in the mid range LTE thresholds on most devices, you can see how inaccurate these maps would be in most situations. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

I will have to bring along my bag of unactivated LTE devices the next time I go to a LTE market. Interesting. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

I'm quite optimistic for the Boston market. I'm excited to see them start moving in to the City now. To already have a completed LTE site in Downtown Boston is great. That's before Chicago. Heck, there are not many central city sites yet even in launched cities like Dallas, Houston, Atlanta and Kansas City. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

Yes, for Sprint, the bird is the word! Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

I wasn't on the call, but I keep seeing cities and not markets referenced for the four in August. I'm thinking its something like: Baltimore, Annapolis, Frederick and Salisbury. One market, four cities. I'll dig more into details when I get back from vacation. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

Its called "conditioning". You condition them about how wonderful your current device is so they want it to be handed down to them. Works like a charm. And they get a new device every six months or so too. Robert via CM9 Kindle Fire using Forum Runner
