<br /><br />Sure are reporting a bunch of random wide spread towers in this area.....you working on them.....with what contractor

Debating the 70/401 split tower... I live right next to the thing basically.....yet no improved service at all... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

M7 is an over hyped over rated device. Anything that doesn't ship with the MSM8974 SoC(Snapdragon 800) is a waste of space in terms of flagship devices... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

I have never seen any sprint deployed half-circle antennas... All are usually rectangles in shape. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

"...half-circle antennas..." ???? Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

Well.... That stuff looks solid.... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

Good point there about the reference causing the RSSI to be inaccurate....at least for comparison sake between different devices... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

u know what I meant. Lol jk Its too late in the day and week for me to be spot on. Lol Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

All depends on the SoC and radio chip if separate and the device's internal makings. Svdo is not just chip it has to do with antennae and all that too so its never as easy as one would seem... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

and a lil interview with Mr Raj himself.... http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/08/qualcomm-interview/ 50+ products already being designed based on the 800 and see first of them in customers hands starting in 2nd half this year....

Nope Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

I had to toggle airplane mode on and off when I caught it at tenten awhile ago FWIW... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

Decent SoC announced yesterday at CES by Qualcomm.... Says should see the Snapdragon 800 I'd devices 2nd half of the year and the 600 a lil earlier I believe... The 600 is like the S4 Pro with integrated radios and lil clock bump... Saw it on engadget btw but lost the link... Looking forward to anandtech breakdown of the SoCs as they seem at first glance to be solid pieces imho... All around improvements.... Question is.... When will sprint get this into a device and IF they can manage to get it into the EVO upcoming long as that happens... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

All these people thinking the spectrum holds more value than the offer is for should ask one question.... If it is valued at much more then why has clearwire had trouble turning profit, and why has there been no interest from anyone else wanting to pick up the spectrum?..... If no one wants something then its value is zero. That's a fact. Things are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

They announced the Nexus and Viper as first LTE devices there last year but I can't expect them to announce any 800MHz LTE devices this early on tbh.... 800Mhz LTE isn't off the ground like LTE was set to be at this time last year. As Robert said before they are planning FITs for it this year... Making putting a device for it this early seeming a lil far fetched imho... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

Okay yeah I was clearly in another world last night with my posts. Lol Now would you never want the sectors on the same tower to over lap as that would cause interference...or would that only be an issue with adjacent towers and not wanting that signal to overlap another towers?... Also was thinking that when you add the point that the 3 sectors are not back to back on each other that would cause gaps in coverage between each sector close to the tower... But what you described rules that out. *it being late last night and cocktail hour already happened is my excuse for the silly comments about 120 deg overlapping when it goes out... Honestly dunno wtf was going through my head then to say that as its pretty simple geometry there...lol DOH! Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

Terminology down. Was late last night and I follow now. Lol Thanks as usual Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

U lost me now.... As 65 panels are not used either... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

That's what I initially thought but with digiblurs post I reasoned why in my head it'd be what he said... Yeah when I reasoned it I was thinking the beam being in a triangle formation and that would in turn mean the further away from the location(tower) the wider the beam is from edge to edge...which really makes sense tbh... Ugh Ima need a pic now. Lol Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

Yeah 120 would have a ton of overlap interference between the sectors as you move out away from it... Less u had a ton of downtilt... Right? Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

Lil microwave link site there... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

This right here is why I'm worried Qualcomm/HTC is going to struggle this year more so IF they go with the APQ SoC in devices mostly as that thing has been in production for awhile now and would put Sammy above them too given their chipset offerings this year... Need the next gen krait SoCs to get going badly to stay ahead of everyone... I believe sammy is working on 22nm also while Qualcomm has been quiet on that front... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

Separate radios?..... Yeah of course... But radios are not grouped in the way you described. There will be 1 LTE radio that covers X frequencies period... Now through connection management they can control priorities of what to connect to first but that is nothing new at all... At first the thought was the biggest hurdle will be a device fitting the number of antennas and other hardware for each freq needed would be the biggest hurdle, but that seems to not be that big of an obstacle as initially thought... I hate to sound like a butt here but honestly there needs to be some fact checking before you post such things like this when you are coming across as if they are factual when they are far from it. Heck you could of searched here and likely seen threads/posts explaining this correctly already. Appreciate the effort at hand though but this is the 2nd thread of yours I've red where both have a gross amount of misinformation in them. Sorry to be so blunt but I men nothing personal by it at all... Just do some research next time or lest cite sources you used to come up with the conclusions made and all... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

Wow soo much wrong with the conclusion being made here in the OP, all with zero facts to back it up... ONLY way you could say having LTE on is bad is if you were in a no LTE signal area, and the LTE power on the device was cranked out of this world, and scan time was set to a insane low value..... Then maybe you might see a difference... Like AJ said the Qualcomm SoC at 28nm and integrated radios is much better than the separate chip devices for handling radios implementation like the thunderbolt... The fact that people still have this etched in their brain is frustrating at the least... All steams from the wimax ordeal as back then if u swapped out LTE with WiMax in this post then it would be more accurate. Word is that Sammy's next SoC has integrated radios as well I believe too... Might be the next series after the one coming up but swear I read that somewhere.... I'm not a sammy fan anyway, still wiring on the next SoC from Qualcomm here really...

Lemme know when sprint starts deploying Pico cells and this will matter... Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
