Thank you!

Interesting... LOL I caught the "AT&T 4G" on the phone at 1:50-1:53

Roaming just stinks period, if I know I am going into a non Sprint native coverage area, I use my AT&T prepaid phone at least I get 3G or in some spots HSPA+ BUT I only do this when I am up at camp in the Adirondacks and its only during the summer months, Sprint's tower too much of a stretch for data to be usable, I forced it to be on Sprint Only and even with NV its just too far away and it goes to 1X. Vzw is there too but they are just too expensive (and 1X only roaming stinks!).... However reading the past month or two AT&T and Vzw are just about the same in price anymore....

Your dead on right I was confused!!! My mistake, sorry about that! (Note to myself: )

what? Am I have another blonde moment? lol

I could of sworn VoLTE is on 3G too? I have talked on the phone when I was just on a 3G only tower...

Honestly I highly doubt it, If they are on a tower by themselves its a county tower with at least one county antenna or on a water tower, (at least around here). The big two have more money to have there own towers, or at least that is my understanding whenI have talked to a guy I know really well at Sprint (on the tower technician side). Its not to say you will never find one registered with Sprint, but good luck.... However I have come across a "Sprint/Nextel" one back when they first merged BUT Nextel was First on the tower.

Ya I was at Greece Ridge Mall (in the mall) and it was struggling to get past 4 down and 3 up, and yes I know MB is fine now, I still think come summer time its gonna get some straining, all the carriers do down there, even when I was there last summer. Unfortunately Rochester will see Spark well before MB. Thats good news for us, but Rochester is not a major vacation place for tourists like MB does on a scale basis.

ya for NOW, wait until the REAL summer begins I have lots of relitives and friends that lives all along that area and it dont matter what carrier you got, it gets boggled down a lot, its hard to get spectrum down there.... Whats wrong with speeds we have here? I get an average of 34.00 down and 9.45 up with most of the cell towers in the Rochester LTE towers, except the only place was when I was in Greece yesterday I was struggling to get past 5mps down and up.

Regardless, the "carrier coverage maps" are to give people a GENERAL idea of how the coverage MIGHT be, period.

as far as I know Sprint only throttles the Virgin Mobile, Boost and there MVNOs, however people I know on VM have not been throttled....

Out of all the carries Sprint has the best zoom level tool, T-mobile now that they ONLY show there 4G/3G in pink its awful there old maps were much better, At&t is not any better, and Vzw doesn't show you much of anything when you zoom in (I think they are the worst, alls they care to show you is "yes your covered" basically.

I have to disagree the Sprint coverage maps around where I live is just about the same as the voice/data (3G) coverage as before.... We wont get 800 here for a while, the LTE coverage covers a little more but not much.. All of these cell phone companies coverage maps are awful I think.

I like this video interview, Son knows what he wants to do and is determined!

I saw that video too, we live (I personally think) a corrupt county right now, the FCC and other government/political related things are favored. Thats all I have to say about that, since I dont like that stuff and is not appropriate for here but thats how I feel.

Still doubtful to see the FCC letting Sprint buy T-mobile even though T-mobile wants out really bad of the United States and focus on its home country in Germany....

After Dansville, Brockport was Chili or Gates (I forget which) and a couple suburbs, then Canandaigua, Newark, Palmyra, and Geneva, then we had the huge acceptances late January/early February.

LOL!

Why strange? It was just ready.... Robert would probably agree with me. IT is easier to accept towers fast outside metros first... Dansville and Brockport are outside major population...

I am glad to see some action again too, it's been over a month (close to at least since we had any activity).

I had the HTC EVO 3D which I still have I really liked it just the battery life sucks, lol.... I was a Blackberry guy before that (LOL!)

hmm I might have to think about that I never liked Samsung before but maybe they are better then they used to be.... I guess I am just so used to HTC and LG, LOL!!!!

Nice article, I talked to AJ the other day and I have not heard back from him he had something, I dont want to mention it here. I like flagship devices but I was saying for now I could deal with anything better then the frustrating phone that I have.. lol.... I have seriously pondered using my 3D, but if I use WiMax it kills the battery even though I get full bars inside (the tower is less then a half mile from me) I prefer LTE though. I will have to look at Swappa, eBay, I have gotten some of my ham radio equipment off there before, I have been skeptical of cell phones (I dont know why)

I know I posted about phone help on here already, I got a couple of responses but I have not heard back, life is busy for all of us, so let me try it again for another round... I am strictly an android guy... I am willing to try a cheaper phone then what I am used to, I usually got the flagship phones or close to it when I can... I am having major issues with my EVO, its almost to the point I want to trow it! The screen starting freaking out even when simply try to press anything, then the touch screen is totally useless, so I have to do the "hold power button down" to force it to restart. (this happens almost every time I try to use it and no that i am NOT exaggerating at all). I have mentioned before I really liked the LG Optimus G which hardly anyone sells anymore and its newer then (for example Samsung II or my old phone the EVO 3D). I hear mixed reviews about the Sprint Vital, the Victory LTE for being mid-range models.... I am not due for an upgrade until late summer.

I think this belongs in the General topics..... Plus "I hate that Sprint acts worse..." sounds like its a rant..... Violating the rules herecI am pretty sure at least borderline...
