    If - yes, there are several towers yet to be upgraded. The when part, that's trickier. It's hard to know where they are in the process. However, we do know that all the towers will be upgraded, that much you can count on.
  2. Dkoellerwx
    If - yes. All sprint towers are being upgraded. When - probably in the next few months.

    The tower is not gone. That map does not show the location of all Sprint towers, only the ones that have received maintenance upgrades in the last 6 months. The tower still exists, maps with the locations of all Sprint towers are available to site sponsors.

    I've had the GS3 for about a month now, and still prefer the EVO. It's a nice phone that for sure, but I'll take Sense and the EVO's camera any day over Touchwiz, and am not one for rooting, so yeah.

    Service will continue to be spotty as the network build-out continues. It will be several months before all towers are completed. Once that happens, you should have LTE service nearly everywhere you have 3G service. When 800 LTE is launched later next year, your LTE service area will expand a bit more than what it will be when the current 1900 build-out is complete.

    When towers are complete, and all the components are in place for the LTE network, they will open the towers up for public access. Currently, there are no towers complete in your area. As each tower is completed, Sprint is leaving them open for anyone to access. They will not be waiting for the whole market before they 'flip the switch.' It is not known when the first towers will be completed, but work is underway in some form right now.

    And the same goes for all the other markets that are being upgraded... likely larger than you perceive them to be, and none less important than your market. Now is the Nashville market as large pop. wise? Probably not. But like it has been stated, Sprint is not going on pops, they are doing whatever is most efficient.

    Read.

    What market is round 5? .... None. There is no round 5. The markets are being started as soon as possible. Planning, permitting, RF design, hiring, all has to be done before a market can start. Markets aren't being skipped over, Sprint doesn't have a beef with any particular market. Larger markets take more time to get ready than smaller ones, but work is ongoing in some form in EVERY market.

    What is what???
  12. Dkoellerwx
    Whoops. Well then, I have no idea what lanmac23 is talking about.

    There are no upgraded towers in Cleveland. It may be confused with a WiMax protection site.

    There are several threads on here dedicated to the Ohio markets. Please refer to those for updates, as well as the market list.

    Work has already started in the Orlando market. There is not any LTE currently in Orlando proper, but the market is underway, and LTE is already available on the coast, and will soon be in the city. A full scale launch may be 4 months away, but you should begin to see LTE signals within a few weeks.
  16. Dkoellerwx
    Really digging for quotes are we? Haha. Just FYI, this information has been posted before, possibly in this thread?
  17. Dkoellerwx
    A week later than we thought, but new markets finally launched today!
  18. Dkoellerwx
    iPhones do show LTE signal strength in bars, so what this means is when you are connecting to an LTE signal, you are connecting to a tower(s) that is a farther away than the towers that you receive 3G from. This will be common place until more towers are upgraded. LTE speeds are very signal strength dependent. So if you have a weak signal, you will experience slower speeds. There have also been cases of towers being live, but only giving <3G speeds on the LTE signal. The only way to know which it is (signal strength or towers issue) is to look at the LTE engineering screen to see what your signal strength is.

    As far as I know, there is no way on a non-lte phone. eHRPD isn't really an indicator of any changes either. It's being added to pretty much every market now, even ones that won't be upgraded for some time now.
  20. Dkoellerwx
    Crawl back in my hole? Excuse me???? One, that was not posted by anyone that has any credible information. Two, sprint is allowing access to towers are they are completed. So that part is true. However, given the number of towers complete, and the time it takes to complete towers, there was absolutely no way that there was going to be enough to launch the city in one week. Three, watch who you mouth off to.

    Also, pretty sure no one ever said DC would have LTE by Black Friday, so not sure where you coming from.
  22. Dkoellerwx
    It's Nevaaaada ;-)

    Nevada, Missouri on the map!

    Per the LTE coming soon press release, it sounded like work might have started in Joplin by now, but just checked the whole town, no work so far. Work will probably be impacted as much as it is during summer weather.... just different ways. I don't think this winter is going to be too extreme either.

    We probably won't be seeing 800/2500 LTE devices until Q2 of next year, since there won't be a network to run them on until later next year. 800 SMR voice is already active in the Chicago market, and will go live in more markets as the Nextel iDen network is shut down. Many phones already support the 800 SMR voice band, and will benefit immediately once the service goes live.
