Since none of the new phones that I want isn't tri band I've been thinking about buying a note 2 off of Craig's list. With this Evo I'll be in locations that I know has LTE but my phone will not connect. Also I've noticed that the evo will not latch on to weak signals you have to be connected in a strong signal area first then travel to the weaker signal area for lte to stay connected the whole time.

Nice experiment I wish I had phones on different carriers to compare to sprint. I would not use the EVO LTE as a measuring stick for Sprint. The rf performance is probably the worst of all sprint devices. I would have tried to get my hands on a note 2. My sprint coverage is good in jax my only complaint is building penetration but that may be a prob with the EVO LTE also. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Another tower accepted in the black hole. I have a feeling that there's more sites out there completed awaiting acceptance. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Well looks like my decision has been made for me

One of them is the one mini

If it is tri band it will be my next device. I'm not really liking the note 3 very much. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Especially with a $299 price point from the Google play store. I'd be all over it. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

It's not as good as other devices with connecting and holding LTE signal Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

I love my EVO but the reception issues are killing me. Also from reading around various sites about the HTC one doesn't seem like that device is any better.

Can't wait to upgrade from this EVO to a tri band device to start hunting for 2.6ghz.

I have signal check pro installed. I've also downloaded Digiblur's 501 prl that gives 800mhz higher priority for voice. Hopefully I can find some signals broadcasting out there somewhere.

Another site completed in the black hole.

Looks like the black hole may be starting to fill in. Tower accepted at Beach and Hodges Blvd.

I finally got my fiancée back on board with still with sprint after she has noticed how much better her service is in the places she visits most frequently. So we are definitely staying now she wants either the new 5s or the note 3 when its released. I'm pushing her towards the note 3 if its tri band. I may also add my 9 yr old to my plan also. Buy myself a note 3 with the new customer contract and give him my EVO LTE. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4

I think that sprint users in the Jacksonville market is getting frustrated with the slow roll out. I believe that most users had expected sprint to pick up the pace during the summer and some users aren't noticing the improvements in service while other people aren't. Me personally I've noticed how much better the network is getting on a day by day basis. On the North side where I live every site that has NV installs done are 3G/4G accepted. So even when my EVO doesn't pick up a LTE signal (because the device RF sux). I get usuable 3G speeds. Also my 1x signal has gotten stronger and I can make and receive calls inside of more buildings. Overall I think sprint is doing a damn good job and I will be purchasing a tri band device with my upgrade and taking advantage of 2600/1900/800 LTE. I may even jump on the new all in plan.

With that signal strength it may be a close call because with some of the buildings I've been in. I will get LTE along the walls of the building but not in the center. Also with the second question I believe the cabinets are installed first and then the panels and rrus. I'm not sure though. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4

That's most definitely a NV install. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4

The second pic isn't working. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4

There's some T-Mobile panels that looks like those in Jacksonville Florida. But there's three fat panels instead of two Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4

Well I'm in a spot right now where I used to roam but now that the towers are 3g accepted I get a -95 signal now. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4

Yeah as long as it don't have the watered down specs like the s4 active. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4

Have you seen work being done in the black hole (Atlantic and beach blvd) Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4

My next phone will be a note series device. I may switch earlier if their is some great deals around the holidays. I get corporate discounts on three of the big 4 except big red even though their sales team say I do. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4

Well, I hate to say this but I'm going to ride my two contracts out. One ends in Jan the other ends in April if there is no 800 service either CDMA or LTE. I'm bailing on Sprint. Hopefully when that time come sprint will have all three bands working and we all are in LTE bliss. Also this evo is my last HTC phone ever. I like the HTC one and the one max looks awesome but HTC sucks in the rf Dept Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4

Well for the past week its been storming in the afternoons. So maybe that's the hold up or maybe they have a bunch of sites completed and waiting acceptance. I haven't been out towards the beaches at all but the North side, west side, clay county, and most of the downtown area is mostly complete. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4
