Hello all... Just wanted to share this incase any of you had a Nexus 5 yet... If you have access to your MSL unlock code, you can go ahead and enable the Tri-Band LTE for supporting Sprint's Spark network before it's official rollout date on your phone by following these instructions on XDA: http://tinyurl.com/lrf4nk6 I don't know if it's a placebo effect or not, but there are quite a few that have noticed an increase in LTE speeds that aren't even in a Spark enabled area... Anyway... I hope at least new to some of you... Have a great day :-)

I didn't see anything posted about this... But, has anyone ordered their Nexus 5 through Sprint? If so, have you had any communications saying that it has shipped or shipping? Thank you in advance for any helpful info on this subject...

Man...that's looks so familiar

 

AHAHHAHAHAHAH!!! :-D Yup... I'm totally using your rom :-D How in the world did you find this post? Are you around this area?

Ourprisonplanet that's a cool LTE icon, may I ask what phone? Usually when my note 2 goes to 4g I don't realize the change of icon. Plus its good to know they are testing more towers.

Note 2... Just running a slightly modified stock Rom...

I am getting an LTE signal all up and down Clemson Blvd here in Anderson...

Interesting... Sprint must be almost ready to turn on another tower here in Anderson... I was at the intersection of 28 Bypass and Whitehall and LTE popped up on my phone... It lasted until I got halfway between there and where HHGregg is on 28... Interesting...

I was looking at Sensorly and am wondering the same thing. All that LTE popped up overnight. Could they be testing 800Lte on a upcoming phone that has Sensorly on it? Even the Note 2 with its awesome rf specs cant hold a LTE signal that far.

Maybe the elusive LG D820 a.k.a. Nexus 5 :-D That would be pretty friggin sweet :-)

For those of you with LTE phones that are getting no evdo or 3G connections when they are doing towel upgrades switch to CDMA only mode.

What are these towel upgrades you speak of? :-D I kid I kid

This entire article made my night :-D I've been spreading it as well, so I hope I'm not a contributing factor in your servers crashing if they do :-D Keep up the good work ;-)

Does anyone know of any work currently being done on the site CR03AW006 here in Anderson right off Shackleburg? I went by there and it seems to have new fiber running towards that direction, and I'm getting about 2Mbps down and .75Mbps up right there... I'm guessing backhaul is down... Just wondering about LTE... Thank you in advance for any info...

At least that's progress. I appreciate the info.

Here is my results on the 4G tower in Pendleton:

Anyone have anything for Anderson? I've still got a wimax phone so I can't check for myself. I may check sensorly in a bit, but it's 6am and I'm too tired to look.

The tower off of exit 14 (Pendleton) was lit up over the weekend... Which I believe brings LTE to Tri-County Tech... But... Still nothing in Anderson... Supposedly they are lighting the two towers up Friday that they have been working on... We'll see...

Why would I need 4G when my 3G this morning had a download speed of 0.12 Mbps? I'm just going to cancel my Internet service right now!

Thanks... I just spit my coffee... Good thing I have Asurion...

It's weird that the LTE popped up in Greenville "not complain what so ever!" But Anderson and Spartanburg were the ones listed as LTE sites

I know... I even dialed ##debug# to see if MAYBE it was tested then turned off... Nope... Nothing... Sprint rep strikes again... Trolled once again :-\ Sometimes I wonder if they just make crap up... :'(

Which area are you speaking of?

They looked up my zip which is Pendleton, but I live in the Anderson area off Liberty Hwy... I think the person on the phone was trolling me though... They did the same thing a few months back...

I tried that and just got the same results. I also went out to haywood rd and was getting 4g from Pelham rd down to copper river. I ate at Papa's and Beer today and no 4g down there so the tower has to be some where around there. Keep checking sensorly as I will continue to map around the area

Thank you very much for testing...

You can take this with a grain of salt... But I contacted Sprint twice today because of the new pricing plans that just rolled out Friday to see if I would save anything by switching to them, which I wouldn't... But... Both times the rep on the phone confirmed that the towers in my area were supposed to go live 11pm tonight... Lol... Let's see... Maybe they really are rolling some more towers out tonight... But... They've totally trolled me before about network expansion...

Hello everyone... Glad that some people are actually starting to see LTE here in the upstate... I would like someone that is actually getting LTE to try an experiment for me if you have time... It'll require that you have your MSL or unlock code... Ok... If so and you feel like taking a few minutes... Run a few Speedtest.net tests and screen shot them... Then... Afterwards:

1: Open Dialer and dial ##DATA# (##3282#)

2: Click Edit

3: Enter your six digit MSL then hit OK

4: Click Others

5: Click Multimedia

6: Write down all info on this screen incase you get negative results

7: Change to:

RTSP Proxy Address: 0.0.0.0

RTSP Proxy Port: 0

HTTPPD Proxy Address: 0.0.0.0

HTTPPD Proxy Port: 0

8: Back all the way back out to front screen

9: Reboot

10: Test with Speedtest.net app a few more times and see if you're get higher speeds...

This worked great for me with 3G, just kinda wondering if these settings will effect 4G as well... I thank anyone in advance for the info...

That seems to be the case LOL. Gotta make the time fly somehow, I just hope our LTE gets out here soon, SC needs some Sprint love for once cause they're "3G" was not a good offering in comparison to it's competitors. Where I'm at Sprint is the only carrier who doesn't have some sort of 4G out here. Verizon is LTE, AT&T has LTE and 4G HSPA+, T-Mobile has 4G HSPA+ with LTE on the way. I feel left out haha. 

"Left out" doesn't even begin to describe how I feel... I'm barely even sometimes getting 14kbps here in the Anderson/Pendleton area... That's right... 14kbps... Like as slow as DIAL UP... I feel like my phone should be making dial up noises when I log into my Facebook!!! My downlink just 2 and a half years ago here averaged anywhere from 1.5-2Mbps... I'd say that was a HEAVY reduction of speed... Meanwhile EVERY other service has 4G of some sort... Heck... I would be happy with Wimax...

Very nice. The Note 2 is too big for me personally but it is a great android phone for sure. With the iPhone 5 I can't say how the connectivity is on LTE obviously but on 3G it's definitely not the best with Sprint. On Verizon when I had a 4S with them it was pretty great but I will say the 5 is awesome when connected to WiFi, my connection is better than the android phones my friends have. On my 4S and 5 I had emulators for GBC, GBA, NES, SNES and Playstation as well. Just required jailbreaking it. Used my Apple TV (one of 3 I own, also jailbroken) and mirrored the phone to the TV and hooked up a Wii controller to it. Pretty fun playing the old games that way. But since I'm on the beta for iOS7 right now I can't do it with my phone anymore but my iPad is still jailbroken so I can do it that way. Yeah android allows more customization with everything, unless you jailbreak but like I said for me I'm more suited to Apple and I enjoy the simplicity of it all. But I still work with android phones a lot and there's some really great ones out there these days. 

I agree... I did that with my iPhones as well... But I could never get past the horrible lag with my AppleTV... How did you get around that? It was so bad that it made it unplayable... I researched and researched and only found others with the issue with no resolve... I ask because I would love to have that setup with my iPad...

As someone who is a phone freak... Seriously... In the past 4 years I've had an HTC Touch Pro, HTC Hero, HTC Evo, HTC Evo3D, Motorola Photon, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and now the Galaxy Note 2... I can honestly say after the Photon I went Apple due to the cleanness and non-fragmentation... And also so that I could carry over some of the apps that I had on my iPad... But... After playing around with the Galaxy S3 I was impressed and ended up going back to Android with the Note 2, and haven't even thought about looking back... It's a really clean machine, and there are MANY things that I can do with it that I could not have dreamed about with iPhones... iPhones are great if you wanna keep it simple... But... I love the fact that I have over 1000 original SNES, NES, and Playstation games on my Note and that I can hook it up to my TV and use up to 4 PS3 controllers with this phone... If you're into messing with your gadgets and love openness and actually maxing out the potential of the hardware you carry in your pocket... Android is far superior... The battery life and signal quality of this phone make the iPhone's I had look sub-par... I am able to get signal on this phone in places I could never get signal on my iPhone... And yeah... This phone is made out of plastic vs my nice glass and aluminum iPhone... But... I'm the type of person who keeps their phone in a case... I don't typically take it out of it's case when handling it or showing it to others...

So... I figured out that the Sprint reps on the phone have absolutely no clue what they are talking about :-D I called them about the fact that they had said that the tower next to me was being upgraded with network vision as I had mentioned in a previous post... They were like "Oh yeah... The towers done... Make sure you have your LTE on, and you should start getting it..." Then after I told them It was turned on, they proceeded to tell me that in fact the tower had been upgraded but that the other towers in the area had to be upgraded and that all of them would be turned on at the same time once the entire project is complete... Which kinda makes sense... But it seemed like a programmed response that was made up because of the quick 180 change in what they were telling me...

Since none of the sites in the area have been accepted for 4G yet, I don't expect we'll see anything on the 7th either. Sprint reps typically have less information than what you can find on here.

Anderson, SC was reported as getting 4G LTE as of the 16th of Jan according to their own website: http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=2495

Not sure what you mean by this...

Well... Called after there wasn't any indication of LTE on my status bar... According to the rep that I spoke with, the date of the 2nd was only for voice, and that the data wasn't set to be done until the 7th... We will see...

Just wanted to add that I just got off the phone with two Sprint reps, which both confirmed that the green light date for 4G LTE in the Anderson/Pendleton area will be Apr 2... That you may see LTE as soon as next week, but the actual launch is set for the 2nd of next month...
