  1. Robert, Thanks for this information as it helps me in my future decision making when my contract is up. Viewing the map right now I see that the progress in Houston is very slow. After 3 weeks we have only moved 2% in build out which is dissappointing when considering we are supposed to be done in just a few more months. What I can attest to and give Sprint credit for is that I do get LTE service pretty much all over Houston, however, it seems to have taken a thump since time has passed. The other thing that ticks me off is that inside coverage is very poor both at my home and at my job. I can get LTE for a short period but it still goes in and out which has a major drain effect on my battery. Nonetheless this is some very good information to know that we don't have much spectrum in my area.
  2. So is this poor type of LTE what we should come to expect in Houston?
  3. I must agree with the original poster here. I live in the Houston area also and LTE speeds have noticeably plummeted. During the first few months of launch i'd easily get 12mps up and 2mps down but now Its a good day in hell if I get 2.5mps up. Mind you that I am a realtor so I am all over Houston and the greater areas. Is this drop in speed due to more LTE phones or what? Also has buildout stopped in Houston? As I look at the network map it seems as if total LTE buildout in Houston has ceased since its shown 42% complete for a month now.
  4. Hello folks..Houston has been sitting at 24% for about 3 weeks now. Does anyone know when the map will be updated?
  5. I must admit..I get Sprint LTE just about everywhere I go in Houston now...Can't wait for more site updates..Even getting some building penetration as well.
  6. So I have a GS3 and I want to know why my phone behaves this way and should it behave this way. While at work I have a lackluster 3g connection and a slight LTE connection so my phone goes in and out of data service. To prevent this I switch the phone settings to CDMA only so that I can pick up and maintain at least a less than decent speed and connection. However, when I make this switch my phone goes into EDVO mode and will not pick up an EHRPD signal at all. Id prefer the EHRPD signal because that seems a little better. With that said is there a way that I can fix this and why does it do this? Very frustrating.
  7. Hey folks, While I do see the number of towers increasing in the Houston Area non of them are showing 3g. Does this mean that Sprint isn't working on the 3g portion of NV in Houston right now and just 4g? Also, it looks as if Houston and Dallas hasn't moved much from its orginal 15% position at launch. Is this because there are hundreds of towers in those two areas and if so how many towers are in the Houston market? Thanks,
  8. I apologize guys but I am getting very frustrated with Sprint's progress in markets it has already launched LTE. The Houston area has virtually no coverage of LTE or it has coverage but the signal is useless to our handsets. Take a look at the map Sprint has for the Houston area and it basically shows it covered like a blanket, however, the fact of the matter is that there is no connection. I come daily to check progress on the interactive map just to find a 1 percent upward tick in progress. Actually since the past month ive only seen a 2 percent ticket total. This is very frustrating too me especially when you notice an improvment in 3g for a short period of time as well. 2 weeks ago 3g showed great improvements all to fall right back down.
  9. Too me their maps are a flat out lie to consumers and they should be sued for it. LTE is still basically non-existent in every market you go.
  10. First they need to try to get 4g lte working for more than a few seconds before exploring any other initiatives.
  11. I agree..I am actually no seing eHRPD at all...Speeds were once moving up to 400kbps but now they are about half of that. Really sucks.
  12. It hasn't dropped to my phone yet. Maybe coming tomorrow, I hear the Galaxy Nexus is getting an update as well.
  13. Normally XDA gets their hands on updates a few days before the release..Wonder why it wasn't leaked for early adoption.
