Hmm. When I was in the Sprint store last week, the sales person demoed it to someone and their hand was way close to the phone when they showed it off.

It should've been, since your hand has to touch the touch screen for it to work.

was it a conspiracy with Verizon with the Spectrum and Rezound? It was months after they came out that Verizon clarified that they had GSM roaming capabilities.

The Razr,Razr Maxx, Rezound, and Droid 4 were announced to receive software updates to add global capabilities this summer. I know the Razr and Razr Maxx have already received their ICS updates, which included the global update.

Not sure what the exact difference is radio-wise between those phones and the GS3. I've heard VZW's GS3 may receive the same update, but who knows, rumors are rumors.

Had 2.5 hours of screen-on time yesterday after 18 hours on battery and still had around 33% left. Definitely liking the battery life over my E4GT.

Thanks for the update. I see all my towers on the map (past due). I did notice within the last 3 or 4 days that i'm now connecting with eHRPD though, so they're making progress at least.

Same here. Lafayette is flying now.

Same here. Just got my Galaxy S III (from E4GT) and i'm getting crazy fast 3G now and much lower latency. The sites i'm connected to are marked as NV complete for 3G only.

Ever heard of student loans?

As far as i'm aware, there is no "minimum" donation amount to become a sponsor, just FYI. If all you can afford is a dollar or five dollars, i'm sure they'd appreciate it.

Placebo...unless the proxy is over saturated and you happen to be pulling the type of streaming traffic that goes through that proxy at that time.

Yep.

I'm not ready to release final info on our radio performance article, but I can definitely say at this point the GS3 is a solid radio performer. If you are having signal problems in comparison with other devices in exactly the same settings, you may have a device problem.

Looks like most of the microwave backhaul documents I have are for Lake County IN, furthest southern location is Lowell, IN. Most of what I have is for 60+ miles outside of Chicago proper in all directions. Far North, West, and South suburbs. Its good, they're doing this to make sure backhaul is ready in rural areas ahead of setting all of Chicago market live. This way they don't have to waste time running fiber.

Good deal, thanks for that info!

Friend of mine showed me some documents were Sprint has submitted request for licences to use microwave backhaul in some rural towns....mine being one if those towns. How reliable is microwave???

Happen to have a list of those towns or can tell me if Rensselaer, IN is one of them?

Yeah, I saw the towers on the NV map for completed sites. Just wondering what they would've done last year that killed the signal so much. It actually got so bad I was bouncing from Sprint to roam, which prompted getting the Airave. Had a nice solid signal for so many years. I think the NV upgrades helped the signal just enough to allow it not to not have to roam anymore Oh well

Trying to figure something out. I used to have a great Sprint signal here (Rensselaer, IN), 3G at around -74 to -86 dbm. Around a year ago or so, my signal tanked, lucky to have 2 bars, usually 1 or nothing. I had to get an Airave to have reliable service at home. Fast forward to March 2012, I noticed the native Sprint signal was once again strong, and I was pulling up to 2 Mb down (no better than 1.2 before). The strong signal lasted maybe a week, then poof, back to crap, but could still pull almost 2 meg down if I found enough signal. I'm about 5 miles from the tower. When LTE comes, will the range be any better than EVDO, or will it not improve until LTE 800 comes? I do see all the sites in my area have been upgraded to NV for 3G.

Lafayette, IN has had 4G WiMax for well over a year and I don't see the coverage on any of Sprint or Clear's maps. The coverage is VERY spotty, but i'm down there every weekend and I can always get a 4G signal in certain areas. On average, it's barely faster than 3G.
