My M8 and M7 can get LTE. My Evo LTE and friends SG4 cannot. I get it all over Natomas ????????

Okay so for real this time. I have LTE at my house off of Northgate no way it's the tower at the airport.

I got LTE for a brief moment at the Sleep Train Arena. My brother said he gets a constant LTE signal off of Club Center in North Natomas. Is July still a possible switch date?

I just saw LTE pop up on my phone for a few seconds while on Northgate!

I got it too, but looks like a general message :-\. Never lose hope.

So this weekend I was plagued with lots of 1X and roaming phone signal. Battery life suffered pretty bad because of it. I stayed primarily in Natomas and downtown. Wondering is this is a prelude of something good to come. My understanding is that coverage becomes a little worse before it becomes a lot better.

Okay. I was only stating that question because of this statement. I figured that, but only wanted clarification.

Samsung Telecommunications=/= Samsung electronics

 

Reception is all about your phones design and the SGS3 is an excellent RF performer.

That statement is just wrong on so many levels but to sum it up... it does not matter who makes the telecom gear as long as it broadcasts the correct signals that the device you have was designed for. If a device was made for Sprints frequencies than it will search for those frequencies. Radio waves don't discriminate against certain cellular devices... (looks at Gnex & 1x)...

 

TLDR: NO. 1900mhz A-> G blocks = 1900 mhz A-> G blocks. If that signal is being broadcast ed then your phone will receive it.

But thank you for the explanation.

So with Samsung towers being installed, does that mean HTC phones will not get LTE?

Just spent the weekend in SF and Oakland. I got to say, it was pretty awesome getting 4G and not dial up. Blazing past 10 mbps . Man makes me miss Wimax. Just wanted to share my first experience with Sprint LTE.

Thanks for the updates

July and August is not that far away, but still too far. Where do you get any dates from? I have not once seen our region even mentioned next to a release date. Just curious. The way I try to deal with anticipation is to suppress the excitement that one day I will have LTE on Sprint in my neighborhood. :-)

Yea good luck with your interview.

I work a couple miles from that Target. I've had very solid 3G speeds as of recent. 6 months ago, it was pitiful. I couldn't even stream radio on my phone. Not LTE but getting me by. I guess.

Thanks for the inquiries. Anxiously patient.

Man, I was crossing my fingers before reading this article. I'm impatiently waiting. I would love LTE ASAP in my home town with Sprint badly. I know I'm not entitled. Would be nice though. This is just a vent. Don't take it the wrong way... Okay I'm cool. Back to patiently waiting. I'm glad there are at least a few people on this forum that seem to be in the know. It keeps other people like myself a little more hopeful and willing to wait it out. Thanks for the forum.

Wow. That is pretty much what I expected, but very disappointed. Hopefully it comes sooner. I love Sprint service, but hate the phone selection. Minus the new LTE phones. I'm just frustrated. lol. Thanks

Has anyone heard about whether Sacramento is on Sprint's LTE plans? I've been looking all over for some mention. Most of the Bay is on the list. I've even read somewhere that Stockton was a Sprint LTE test market. I am desperate for any info. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thanks in advance.
