Were you in different locations? A different building..? Battery is drained quicker the weaker your signal if your phone is struggling to maintain a connection.

It's LJ7. You can find leaks on XDA if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Thanks. I'm more interested in just trying out the new modem.

I just heard that Sprint will start updating the S3 to JellyBean beginning tomorrow... Roll out should complete within a few weeks. : )

Do you know what the final build number is..?

I couldn't even make a voice call at Schmale and Geneva in Wheaton today. 3G speeds were about 60kbits. I hope they're still going to be filling in towers because my coverage in the west burbs isn't great. Anyone else in this area with problems? I had to put my phone in "roam only" mode just to make a call and use some data.

Thats where I work. Its been bad since last week Monday.

Probably not. Trying going into CDMA only mode for grins and see what happens.

none better, still -98dBm 1asu, seems my phone is fighting over three seperate towers, and they are probably still working on the tower closest to me. I will just be patient. Thanks Robert.

 

Maybe your device is clinging to a distant 1900 site? Did you try cycling airplane mode? The first time I connected to CDMA 800 in Waco' date=' it was after I cycled airplane mode. Are you running a custom PRL? How are you measuring your signal?

No custom PRL. Cycling airplane mode did nothing. But I am in EVDO network mode instead of eHRPD...that might have something to do with it...?

Sooo I was excited to see that by my work, the tower was listed as 3G/800, yet my signal has actually worsened. Tower is less than a half mile away from my work. Any thoughts on why this would be happening?

I heard that even though phones are turned off they can still use battery cause they can hear everything you do or use your camera if the gov thinks ur suspicious or whatever not sure if true bit wouldn't doubt the government trying to listen to or snap a pic fast while phones off and without u knowing.

Are you a google+ user? Do you have instant upload on? If so is it set to run all the time instead of JUST on wifi...? This would drain your battery very quickly.

I was at my local Sprint store today upgrading a family members phone, the rep and I got to jawing about LTE in Chicago. He proceeded to tell me that just this week they installed what he called an LTE box in the back office of their store. He didnt know what it was for, does anyone have any ideas?

This was on the roof.

Are the stores getting an LTE microcell to help them sell phones and show off their new network?

+1

This pairing has worked well for me.

 

I tried that combination for a day, really didn't like it but I suppose I could go back and give it another shot.

But like the previous person wrote: are the calls any more reliable and texts coming instantly through the new nv towers?

In my opinion it's the best it's been for the past 6 months right now at this point.

Leaked LIH build of JB with LIH modem has a very hard time of going between 3G -> 4G. Doesnt like to connect initially when 4G is available....and when I go between towers....it loses 4G but then after driving into another area with 4G, it wont reconnect. Super frustrating. I know its a leaked build....but I would expect improvements from LI3....

Tower on the corner of 64 and County Farm in West Chicago was giving 4G this morning!!!! Weeeee!!

That makes it a full 3 weeks from when I saw guys on the tower until 4G was active.

I would donate trust me. But between my phone bill an car insurance an my hours got cut at work im on a tight budget lol. My phone billis almost 200 a month an im tryen to catch up lol. But that tower u speak of i think its the one on 441an glades zip code 33434 ? Right? Cause i posted two topics on that tower. I think 4g lte pannels just got put on there recently when i drove by i noticed somthin different

Can't give the information out, its only available to sponsors, but its close. I bet you'll start seeing more movement in the coming months.

How can this be a good thing?

When upgrades started on NV in the Chicago Market, you would see slower than even the slowest speeds before. Might mean upgrades have started in your area. There is one 4G tower relatively close to you. You should donate and become a sponsor, you can see the maps!

I live in boca raton an tonight im waiting for the presidential debate so i decided to do some speeds test an cam across very slow speeds. This has been going on for a while but its getting worse. Is it because lte is being installed? Even though i have not seen evidence of it. What could be the reason. At the end of september i was getting 1 to 2.6 mbps now i get 0.14mbps-0.28mbps. I cant down load a movie with out wifi

ooooo, this could be a good thing.

 

I also just donated and dont see how to access the sponsor forums.

You will receive an e-mail when you have access.

A few months ago, I posed a theory why Sprint has not utilized removable SIMs in its early LTE devices but plans to do so in the future. Sprint is waiting for the iDEN sunset. iDEN handsets contain removable SIMs. Sprint does not want iDEN users hot swapping their SIMs into LTE devices.

 

AJ

I did not even think about that, Its been so long since I've had a NEXTEL device that I forgot completely about SIM cards.....

LOL the doggie-san makes me laugh every time.

Read the first two price plans.... LOL! Wonder if those will ever make it to the states.....

So on all the active sites Ive had before.....Im now having to cycle airplane mode more and more......does that mean the sites are discoverable only?? Doesnt seem to want to auto-switch anymore....

Where at? Still not seeing anything in Wheaton and I just spent most of the weekend there.

Downtown by the college. Just mapped a little bit on Sensorly.

Well. it's a done deal. Now comes Miller time. I want to see what they are going to do with the 8B dollars that will go directly into Sprint's coffers. In orde3r of importance' date=' I hope they use it for:

 

1. Speeding up NV (if it is a matter of money)

2. Strengthening their spectrum position (either through acquisitions, PC-H band, sub 700MHz spectrum, etc.)

3. Customer acquisitions (mergers)[/quote']

 

I think the NV speed up has already started. Robert had heard a rumor about 3rd and 4th markets starting early (which looks like is true)....and with this past weeks NV update being the the largest ever....it all kinda makes sense after this deal.

Finally 4G in Wheaton. Maybe I will actually have it at work now!
