Bosco

dont make me       on you...

 

 

hey where is Bosco???      uhhhhh    

you've gotta find someone more intimidating than Bones if you're gonna try to threaten people. 

 

ok i might have to go floorguy that acceptance guy...

 

just remember, the best way to solve problems is with words...not emoticons.

in case anyone is interested

sprint black friday deals

-LG G2 for $49

-GS4 mini for free

-galaxy tab 3 for $49

of course there are MIR's involved

Illbswing by on lunch and floor guy him ;-)

 

 

how are you going to use that many emoticons just talking to him?

not sure which thread was discussing difficulty getting their iphone 5s from AF sprint store. just thought i'd let you know i reserved a gold one (seem to be the hardest to find) at the AF best buy for my wife and i just got an email today saying it's in the store to pick up. just wanted to give you some hope that it'll be here soon if they're catching up on demand.

The first rule in being a Sprint customer - never believe what a Sprint rep tells you.

i thought the first rule is you don't talk about being a sprint customer

With current supplies of the iPhone 5s it won't even be a choice. The iPhone 6 might be out before the American Fork Sprint store gets my phone in! They've only received 15 iPhone 5s since launch.

if it makes you feel any better, that's 9 more than the AF best buy has received where i'm waiting for my wife's 5s to arrive.

You should be able to get ~350-400 dollars for it from KSL (depending on condition/storage).  That should cover the cost of a nexus 5 and then some (assuming it's priced like the nexus 4 was)

definitely sell it on your own instead of trading back to sprint. i use ksl and ebay daily and both could be good options. 

I am all for android but I do respect Apple and their products. I am a techie and love to see what new stuff is coming out. I am interested in seeing what the iPhone 5s is going to bring to the table.

techcrunch.com usually does a good job at these.

i'm planning on pre ordering an iphone 5s for my wife in about a week because she has the 4s which isn't even 4g capable. i sure hope there will be some 4g for her to use on her new phone. i know a lot of guys here are android but anyone who is interested, live blogs of the iphone event will start at 11 MST.

if i remember right illest is in w valley?

When NV is done the quality of the signal of 3g/voice will improve on the 1900 spectrum.  And yes with NV we will see significant improvement with 800 frequency on both voice and LTE.  With that said LTE signal is more fragile than a 3g signal.  So yes the 800 frequency of LTE will help to overcome that issue a bit for building penetration but still the LTE signal is more fragile.  So far i've experienced no issue when I'm in a building with LTE on the 1900 frequency.  So you could see no difference from your previous 3g signal but then again you may.  Obviously there are many factors into the quality of your signal such as downtilt and buildings ect.  So in short LTE signal is more fragile but you may not notice a difference.  Hope that answers your question.

i beleive 800SMR will help with that.? someone correct me if im worng, but i think that after NV is done. service/coverage/ overall quality will be ten time better then what we have now.

thanks for the info guys. that's exactly what i was looking for.

is there a difference in either the range or penetrating qualities of lte vs 3g? just wondering about when the towers are done if the quality of the signal will improve...

i have a feeling that west Valley will see fourgee very soon.

i'll be happy for you if it does but i'll admit i'm getting impatient

I will do my best! It is hard to get the right spot and each time i tried doing a speedtest or anything else i would lose LTE pretty quick. But i am sure i can make it happen.

i've got an iphone too and it sounds like you're much more comfortable with yours than i am with mine. do you know how to get to the engineering screen? i haven't figured it out yet.

Hello all, Noob here..

I was on I-15 north from Urah County with my S3 looking for LTE.. Just before exit 315 Got one heck of a LTE signal, but drops off before exit 316.

 

On a side note, living in eagle mountain, 2 towers sit on top of a hill (mountain) near Unity Pass of which I think one is Sprint.  I have of recent seen a flood light on when I drive by close to 6am.  I wonder if they are setting up the tower.  2 towers, one is sort of skinny and taller than the other.  I will try to get pixs.

yes there is an active tower right where you were. i'm in west lehi, almost saratoga. keep us posted if you see anything on that tower. i've been keeping an eye on the lehi tower on pioneer and mill pond and also the AF tower east of fresh market.

I'm assuming this is at Lehi Block, it's a great picture by the way.  Sprint will be on the second catwalk looking thing from the top.  Right now, it looks like it's just the ol' legacy antennas.  But you'll know where to look in the future and have this picture to compare it to if you think something has changed.  Also, PM bosox801 and ask him if he has any information on the Lehi Block smokestack. He does...trust me. 

thanks for the heads up!

this is the second closest tower to my house as i couldn't see the antenna that's supposed to be about a mile from me  i'm sure this isn't much help but as a rookie i didn't know if there's something i could be watching for aside from actually catching workers on the tower. there obviously a LOT of antennas up there so i'm not sure how to tell what is what. thanks ahead of time for your patience with my ignorance...hopefully i can be a help and not a hindrance.

i don't know but i'm a total rookie to this stuff. i work about a block away from one of the towers listed on the map of what is slated to get a 4g upgrade and i can't even find a tower or anything there.

Im on a virgin mobile device but it is basically a sprint device. But ive been reading these forums off and on the last few days. Figured i would join up. Hoping they get around to updating the towers closer to my house so i can get some LTE action on.

welcome! i just joined yesterday and if it makes you feel any better, it looks like you're in slc so the current activity is much closer to you than me.

LOL my reaction was priceless when I first saw LTE on my iphone. I was in my car and I swear the driver next to me thought I was crazy... Haha

if it makes you feel any better, this morning i opened sensorly to see if there were any changes and all the sudden all of utah vall was covered! i had my 2 second freak out before i realized i hadn't changed the drop-down to 4g instead of wimax. 

Welcome!!  That is correct.  Sprint won't show LTE coverage until they launch it in a city.  Obviously you can see we have a few towers that have went live with LTE but it has to cover a certain number of POP's before they will launch LTE in an area and it will show on their website.  If you want to have some insider info on what towers are being worked on and where all the sprint towers are ect. then become a sponsor!  Trust me you won't regret it!  Again welcome!

where do i go to find what towers are being updated?

thanks for the info!

hey guys, 

new here but i've found some interesting info. does the coverage documented on sensorly not show up on sprint's website because they won't make it official until it's wider spread coverage?
