I think you will see testing there start pretty soon. Let us know when you can connect.

Will do!

eHRPD in Lexington Park MD, which is one of the cities listed last week as getting LTE.

I just grabbed the modem from the modem thread and flashed it in CWR. It seemed to fix my Airave issues at the very least.

Thanks. I just found out that Verizon's LTE doesn't work in here either. I didn't even know they had LTE in my area.

I don't know where the repeaters are in the building, what they look like, who makes them, or anything other than they work for Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T. I get a consistent -90dBMish EV-DO signal inside.

I work in an EMI Proof building. It's basically a giant Farraday cage. As soon as you walk in the door, the cell coverage drops out. Some years ago, before LTE was a thing, they installed cell repeaters. Would these older repeaters be able to pass LTE, or will I be stuck on EV-DO at work?

Lower frequency = better building penetration.

He's got it all wrong. That's what the jelly beans is for.

Hopefully now I can justify in my head that my poor signal strength is my Epic's fault.

PRLs are irrelevant.

The only reason you should need to change PRLs is if you want to roam on Verizon 3G, which requires placing a Verizon PRL on your device.

Other than that, don't worry about PRL.

Dear god no, I made the biggest mistake ever buying that POS Transform for my Mom, what a garbage phone. I can't wait for her upgrade to get her something new (with a slide out keyboard )

I bought it because I knew I'd have it for 2 years, so might as well get the best I could get.

Sprint has promised to do this and has completed some work, but none of the sites are actually officially up and running, are they?

Also, network.sprint.com does not even show the network vision upgrades, and official Sprint communication about when particular cities will be upgraded has been extremely sparse. Many areas will not see NV improvements for a year and a half, reviewers cannot in conscience recommend a phone sold on a 2 year contract under these circumstances.

I disagree. I bought my Epic because it was the best phone I could get, even though I don't get WiMAX locally. The Samsung Transform would be what I would have been stuck with had I bought my device based on connectivity alone, and I think that the Epic was the clear winner there.
