Now it is

Also, with your next upgrade (2014-2015) it should obliterate Verizon with all the additional spectrum (LTE Advanced aggregating 1900 A-G, 800 SMR and 2.5Ghz BRS)

If the WiMax protection site is any where near your home and you can get signal outside, you could buy a WiMax amplifier and use that as an internet connection. Oh, well now what have we here?

Yay!

It sure seems like it. I had an epic so I know how sprint loves to "test" things but I thought the Nexus would be different in this way. I was wrong but custom roms make up for this.

and...... There goes all hope of being in the 2.5 round. Sprint must really trying to incentivize us to move to another carrier. If it weren't for the family plan I'm locked into I might just move to straight talk (t-mo edition) with an HTC Amaze or an SGSII to get my HSPA+42 on at true unlimited (the t-mo version at least, no throttling huzzah!). ugh,,,,,, cellular depression, sorry if it appears that I blame S4GRU, I don't. I just want to vent and this is the only place people can understand the frustration. The Sprint community forum just gives me the company line. This place actually can explain and move past that. Thanks Lord knows I'll never leave Sprint, although I wish I could. /crack open beer

From this They say they are deploying 4x4 mimo which means 4x4 antennas?

Whoever does powerpoints for sprint sucks at it. I don't doubt the authenticity. Look at this graphic

I honestly think they were only lying a little bit. With regards to AT&T's current plans to deploy LTE ONLY in 700MHz and 1700Mhz AWS bands, they are in big trouble. EDIT: maybe not, their AWS is significant The only national license they hold for either of those bands is 6 mhz in the D-Block (unpaired at that!). Assuming that AT&T would bother deploying in these areas (TDD would be the only way) and LTE has a spectral efficiency of 2mbps/Hz, their LTE wouldn't perform differently from HSPA+ in these areas if they were to roll it out, which I seriously doubt they will. EDIT: maybe not, their AWS is significant AT&T does have significant 700MHz spectrum licenses in urban areas, so these areas will get LTE, fast LTE at that. However, unless AT&T changes it's spectrum strategy (use other bands), rural areas will get left out in the cold just like always. EDIT: maybe not, their AWS is significant I encourage you all to check out my source, it really illustrates who has what spectrum, where, and how much bandwidth of it they have, This is AT&T's 700mhz spectrum map. The dark blue areas have enough spectrum for 10x10 LTE while the light blue areas can do 5x5. The other areas are covered by scattered AWS and an unpaired 6mhz in the 700mhz D-Block. Edit: This is most of AT&T's AWS Spectrum. It is a lot more than I previously thought. AT&T may have been lying after all. With this spectrum they should be able to cover most of those other rural areas with at least 5x5 LTE. Source for this info: http://specmap.sequence-omega.net/

That tower must be providing backhaul for the other towers.

I've always wonder why the government is do greedy. The whole country is able to trunk all consumer wireless services over that much spectrum. What on God's green earth would that much spectrum be needed for (especially since it isn't military). They do the same crap with IP Addresses. Only 10% of them are allowed to be used by the public. :facepalm Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

Also, for fun, if I had to guess what the others are, I would say the top one is Nextel and the bottom one is AT&T (due to radios behind the antennae ala Network vision). I would venture to guess that's being used by AT&T also. I only see one set of PCS panels up there.

Sprint's is in the middle. You can tell by the length of the antennas that they are PCS 1900mhz. The lower the frequency, the greater the antenna size. Those larger antennae are 800mhz (whether it be 800mhz smr or 850mhz Cellular)

I would call and complain. I did about a year ago (when my dad had only had his phone 3 months) and got an upgrade reset so he could get a Nexus S. If the regular customer service people can't get it straight try this number (it works wonders), (877) 775-4886.

I am sending this message over wimax at -89 dbm. I just noticed the Nexus can be edited to -110dbm as well. I think I may be the first to notice this possibility. I made a thread on it here. It increased my speeds by as much as 2x.

The 1900 LTE should have slightly better signal strength than the 3G you already get. So if 3G in your buildings is an issue than LTE will have issues as well and likewise if your 3G reception is good your LTE reception will be good as well. 800 is an interesting animal. I really hope it helps as much as I want it too, that is having signal parity with the likes of Verizon but I have my doubts that it will be used for more than capacity. Even if it does help I doubt you will see it until some time infinitely far away in the future (being in the final rounds is freaking depressing).

All I'm saying is, paying devs is unsustainable. It probably won't gain WP7/QNX enough customers to turn a profit or be worthwhile. This is because mainstream users don't follow devs. When the devs see that they aren't able to turn a profit they will leave. You all can jump all over my argument all you want but that's how I see it.

I haven't tried the latest CM9 but, I would give one of the 4.0.4 roms a try. They are miles ahead of 4.0.3 (CM9 and others) in terms of speed and smoothness.

It doesn't have to. If one outcome is common, it doesn't mean it is the only possibility. Just because your car broke down or was wrecked before you sent it to the wrecker doesn't mean mine will.

FC14 means built March 14, 2012 For the first letter E = 2011 F = 2012 G = 2013 For the second letter B = February C = March D = April Finally the number is the day of the month. These are Samsung's naming conventions for their builds.

How much did Apple pay for devs? Zero This I why I feel like this platform won't be very successful. Reputations aren't bought, they're earned. Devs will go where the users go not the other way around.

One thing I have always wondered about, Why are spectrum configurations "down x up", ie. 5x5mhz rather than "down + up", ie. 5+5mhz. The x could imply multiplication to some while it's really a summation,
