  1. I honestly don't know what the appeal of the Mega would be against the Note 3. Why would you want an under-spec'd device with a monster screen when you could still have a monster screen with good specs and battery life to match?
  2. The New AT&T Galaxy S4 Active - Waterproof* *Waterproof doesn't mean water won't get into the phone, just that it can be placed nearby water without peril.
  3. Tr-band only for me. I'm already leaning more towards the Note 3 vs the GS4, so unless the GS4 Tri-band Superspeed Unicorn Poop Edition with Google happens to exist, I'll probably just grab the Note 3. Unless the case is made out of butter.
  4. In other news I seem to have picked up a hint of LTE while traveling North on OBT from Sand Lake Road towards Lancaster. Didn't last long so probably testing still, but nonetheless encouraging. Averaging 1292kbps down and 235kbps up at the Starbucks near Lancaster and OBT (on eHRPD).
  5. Side note: I think the Premier Road tower near OBT is 3G Complete. Getting an amazing 1000 - 1700 down and 400 to 600 up. Previously I was lucky to crack 500 down/ 100 up.
  6. At the very least, it seems quite likely that if you're anywhere close to a tower you'll eventually enjoy 2600 LTE, which benefits everyone since it'll provide that network offload that Sprint tried to achieve with WiMax in the first place.
  7. I can definitely say that what has a much bigger impact on my battery life is the speed and signal strength of my data connection. When I'm in ATL (where there is generally very plentiful LTE), I tend to get great battery life that easily smokes my 3G battery life. My GS3 doesn't really seem to lose anything from being left in CDMA/LTE mode and definitely isn't scanning that often to begin with.
  8. Sometimes you have to flat out request an airave, though they shouldn't put up to much resistance, particularly if you've called in the past about poor reception.
  9. I have noticed sometimes that when I drop LTE and go to a 3G only area for a while and then return to LTE I have to re-toggle my data connections to get LTE back. This is a rooted but otherwise stock GS3, for those curious.
  10. On my SGS3 I have noticed if I'm getting about -116 or better, I will maintain connection, though occasionally I get disconnected for seemingly no reason at all. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4
  11. As a Floridian I can tell you I really valued living in areas where the power lines were underground during storm season. We'd suffer momentary flickers rather than full-on outages that sometimes lasted for days. Sadly we no longer live in an area with buried power lines, but have been lucky to only have one 6 hour outage.
  12. Did some speed tests around the water tower and overall very nice. A couple tests ran slow but not sure if it was a momentary hiccup or something with a specific sector or what. Either way, a great sign of progress! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4
