I posted this in another thread but thought I'd post this here.

Site* is possibly under way. I was passing by and noticed two lifters cars (Not sure what they're called) and a huge container fenced up. Here are some pictures I took at night when I saw them, sorry if they're bad; there is barely any light and near a bank so taking pictures there looks suspicious.

* Blue dot is tower.

* red dot is one of the lifts near roof that tower is on

* Green dot is the where the other lift and container is.

I just read on xda that wimax was added to northern Canton. Protection site possibly?

It seems like the rollout in Los Angeles has slowed down. There are a lot of towers still to go. Compare this to the Bay Area where the pace has picked up substantially.

I wouldn't say it slowed down. It possibly just didn't have a good week. Although I was disappointed at only 6 towers done in L.A metro. I wish it had been Samsung in charge of this market.

Rage rage... Can't wait for the Los Angeles launch.

 

I think I'll stick with tapatalk after hearing that.

I wouldn't exactly hold you back from it for certain as perhaps the dev has changed his attitude and realized that listening to costumers will get you more costumers. Even based on the feedback seems to prove the developer doesn't want to listen. By all means give it a try with the 15 min window to give it your own review.

Does XDA forums work well with Forum Runner? The 3 star rating on Forum Runner makes me skeptical to purchase.

Forum runner in my opinion is managed poorly. I emailed the dev a couple of times with suggestions and bug reports and he replied saying he would release an update when he felt like it in a rude manner. I wish it would get a lot of fixes out and actually be updated with new feature because I love the idea behind it.

I've noticed that too over the past few days since I started using it.

 

What's another good ad blocking app?

I use adaway because it let's me easily white list certain ads or sites and well... It just works! I didn't like ad free much in the end.

Im so glad I'm in Chicago.. A Samsung market lol

I wish L.A had been a Samsung market lol

I use to live there when I was working... left that silly ole area... it wasn't the place for a city boy from Los Angeles. My sprint service was so-so in areas. T-Mobile was the worst.

Thought I'd give a heads up to anyone who hadn't read/heard about this yet, but the popular plugin that many (including myself) use for Chrome and/or Firefox is now available for Android. It will only actively block ads over Wi-Fi if you're not rooted, but if you're rooted it will do so on 3G as well.

Is it not the same as other adblockers though in the end? I'm pretty happy with the way adaway works. Unless adblocks version for android offers a solutions I'm not aware of.

Lmao, you fellas are funny. :-P

Screw this airave! Half the time my messages say "cannot send, try again". I'm thinking of demanding the new 2.5 model and if that model doesn't work I shall consider trying out Wilson equipment as I hear its much better. :-)

You can edit this yourself on your account page online, but I hear it doesn't do anything anyway, more of a placebo.

Yeah the sprint airave setting page doesn't do anything. It doesn't even block out unauthorized numbers anymore on mine. I hear others say that it doesn't for them either. A airave rep told me as well that it is something they are aware of.

Yes. You will still pay $36 every time you activate a phone that has never been activated on your account before, whether new or used.

 

Robert

How accurate is that Information? I've activated many used devices on my account that were never used on my account, No 36$ fee at all. I normally wait to buy new devices used once they've dropped since its cheaper.

Alex Dobie of Android Central has started the rumor-mongering. Sprint LTE variant coming late Q1 2013 with 32 GB.

So: is that too soon for band 26? Or Clearwire LTE? I guess it will hinge on if it is truly a fully-customized Sprint setup, or more like what Apple did where they attempt to cover the entire world's networks with as few variants as possible.

This is why I will probably switch to a cheap gsm provider for my nexus needs haha.. CDMA always gets things a little late. Then again that is a rumor but if it holds to be true. That will be late release compared to gsm.

Hey WiWaveLegnth, I just wanted to let you know I quoted some of your valuable information over at an XDA thread. Just making sure it's okay with you.

Link below in case you want to take a look.

none the less we both are due for upgrades

True to that, I have no issue waiting though. I'm waiting to see if samsung will release phones with their new flexible LCDs on an S4... plus future proof LTE 800 i hope.

here's hoping it gets to my neck of the woods then cus my 3g is horid 0.7speds

You think that's horid? try my neck of the city 0.1 speeds...

I mapped a lot of area near the words "Downey". Here are some speed test :-)

Those don't look like Sprint panels to me. It's possible they were on the other building, just concealed withing something on the roof.

I thought the same, they are the weirdest I've seen. I couldn't get a really good glimpse at the other roof as there is no near by building I can get on to see, nor that one. Also there being a chase bank next to it, would make it look very suspicious lol! I'm try to see if I can ask the store owner.

Hey Robert, went tower hunting today on to some roofs lol... people kept staring at me. Regarding site LA35XC815, I took some pictures of what appears to be the proper site location. I was in the location the maps you have show, but couldn't find panels so I went across to a near by roof lol. Is this the right sprint panels possibly? I'll attach the pictures. Seems they aren't updated yet though.

Red X shows your location and blue circles show the panels I saw.

Yes it does. The long panel in the center of each sector (with all the RRU's attached behind it) is the Network Vision/LTE panel.

 

Robert

Thanks! Hopefully LTE goes live on it soon. I tried everything to get it to connect to LTE with no luck. I'll be sure to keep the area updated. I'm on a tower hunt lol

It is not a bad thing. The more RRU's, the more capacity the site has.

 

Robert

Thank you for that information Robert. Each day I feel as if I learn more and more from this site. i fInd service there amazing, yet it is still pending a data speed upgrade. So out of the picture, that site still has no LTE panels in place?

Man oh man, that's a lot of RRU's!!! That site has a lot of data carriers.

 

Robert

I'm going to assume that is a bad thing? I hope work on it starts soon for LTE as it would be nice to be able to go jogging at the park while streaming good music without lag or just sitting at the park to study with access to go tether option for study resource. although the 3G speeds are good enough for pandora while working out. Btw, if it helps, I notice the site belongs to tower CO.
