I read that earlier. I was kind of surprised. Posted via Forum Runner

I've not had signal quality issues with my E4GT. Although the signal indicator is definitely skewed relative to the HTC devices I've had, my dBms all seem the same between the devices in the same places. I don't trust signal indicators to determine signal strength. Too much variability. I use CDMA Field Test and RootMetrics. Posted via Forum Runner

Yeah. If I drive into a no signal area, I will scroll ahead in Google Maps to put the maps ahead in my cache to bridge through the dead zone. Posted via Forum Runner

It would be nice if they were deploying NV/LTE in PHX. You guys deserve it. However, likely what you are experiencing in PHX is related to temporary band aid fixes of additional carriers and additional T1 backhaul upgrades as shown at network.sprint.com. By my sources, NV work has not begun in Phoenix except for some minor backhaul improvements to some sites is beginning. However, many of the vendors doing this work won't be hooking it up to existing services. They are just being terminated there. It will take a visit from Ericsson (Sprint's network vendor) or Alcatel/Lucent (Sprint's NV vendor for PHX) to hook these up. I do appreciate you bringing us up to speed on what you are experiencing there in PHX. Also, thanks for joining S4GRU and Stay tuned to S4GRU.com for all the latest deployment news. We will be announcing the next NV/LTE city in live chat tonight and the next article will be posted early tomorrow morning. - Robert Posted via Forum Runner

Although it's probably nothing, it never instills confidence. - Robert

That would even make an iPhone loving Barista jealous! That looks awesome. Thanks for posting. Posted via Forum Runner

I personally don't have an issue with pre loaded bloatware. I just don't want to be blocked from removing it. Posted via Forum Runner

What do you all think of the possibility of two iPhone lines emerging? Keeping the 4 series as a value series with the smaller screen. Call the new verision the iPhone 4GS. It is an iPhone 4S with added LTE support and other minor enhancements. Allows people who want LTE and a smaller form factor. Great for people with dainty paws. But the big deal would be the new iPhone 5. It would support LTE and feature all of Apples newest innovations. It would rock a new larger 4" screen. This is what I would do if I was Apple. Although, I wonder if they can fit a 700MHz antenna for LTE in the smaller iPhone. That thing is jam packed as it is. Posted via Forum Runner

One issue I have encountered now a couple of times with folks (mostly on Verizon) is that they don't want to switch to WiFi because most of the WiFi connections they encounter are much slower than Verizon LTE. In our area, most businesses that offer WiFi have typical performance speeds between 300k and 3MB download. Whereas Verizon LTE in our area is a consistent 20MB+. So many consumers in this position will say, 'I just leave it on LTE because it's faster than WiFi.' However, I will follow up with them and ask, "what are you doing that requires the 20MB LTE speed over the Starbucks 2MB WiFi?" They usually say things like, posting a Facebook status, browsing an e-mail, reading the news, etc. I even had one say they were playing Angry Birds, and it ran better on LTE over WiFi. I almost died when I heard that one! Anyway, I try to educate folks in this position that it is in their interest to switch to WiFi, and that they actually will notice almost zero difference in performance between 2MB download speed and 20MB for 95% of what they do on their devices. Even Netflix works just fine at 2MB on a smartphone (actually even much slower). You are just being a spectrum hog and using up your allotment faster and unnecessarily. It's kind of like me with my kids and electricity usage (or wastage I should say). My power bill was $350 last month (about $100 higher than normal). I sat them all down and explained, 'hey, I don't care how much power YOU USE. Use as much as you want!' They were shocked. I then explained, the issue wasn't the amount of power they actively used, it's how much they waste. Electricity being consumed for no reason, no enjoyment or purpose. Lighting rooms (and garages) that are not in use. TV's left on, etc. If you use it, great, but don't waste it. Spectrum is the same way. If you have a use for that super fast LTE network for something that cannot be done on WiFi (or performance suffers), then great. Use the LTE network. But if you have a perfectly good WiFi signal that provides a connection that meets your needs for your use at the moment, then use that over the LTE. Don't be a spectrum waster, man! Just like it's been hit on above, people just need to be educated.

Mine is set at 40MHz on both my N at 2.4GHz and my N at 5GHz. It's 20MHz on my G. I have a NAS that I use to store music and video. I keep it at 40MHz so I can easily stream from my NAS everywhere in the house, to TV's, laptops and smartphones.

And the Dish saga continues. I'm definitely kicking back with some and watching the drama unfold.

My guess is 4" too in the next iPhone. They will need the extra real estate for LTE and the giant 700MHz antenna (relatively giant).
