I dont understand why Houston, a big sprawling city with three rings around the city will finish the mapping on March 2013 and Atlanta with only one ring (I-285) will be completed in August 2013.

Install Sensorly app. That is how I find out if there is LTE coverage there or not. I always turn it on when no LTE has been map there before.

Is RootMetrics any good vs Sensorly? I am going to try it out now.

Its not just Sprint user. ATT and Verizon for LTE, they dont have much mapping except on the highway also. Sorry to come into conclusioin too fast for Sprint.

I map my subdivision, little of Mt Zion, half of Upper Riverdale and part of Roy Huey. Really, nobody use this app and nobody have LTE phone in my area? Forgot this is not Silicon Valley.

If you are in good range, you still have to toggle sometimes? Does changing PRL make things better for LTE?

I know I had been beaching about this before, after my OTA update, my LTE problem is gone. It has been 6 days since I did any phone power/off and when I come back to my home or near my LTE tower, my LTE comes on. I would say a LTE range around my house is about 1.5 miles radius. If you are close to a LTE tower, your dbm should be in that great range. This is very true. See that post Robert mention.

Thanks Robert. There is no app out there that can read data strength and put it at the top of the task bar?

If those bar on the phone are not data strength, in a way when you are near the tower and its 5 bar, then the LTE should be strong too in a way?

Does anyone know the LTE tower at the Atlanta airport? Especially at the northern part of it? I see purple circle all around the airport on Sensory, but dont know why the LTE signal would go in and out at the northern end. I been using Sensory to map the LTE signal whenever I can. :-)

At my office I am getting -2147483647dBm Dam! No I mean Hoover Dam.

Hey, I am on my 2nd day with the updated OTA and I think the LTE tolerence problem has been fixed. Here is my uneducated free public school education says and here is why: I am trying to help Sensory here map new LTE signal n when I go running every morning and when I am near the bounds of the purple color, sure enough my LTE indicator flicker with the strenght bar decresing and it go back to 3G. Then when I come back to the LTE area again doing 4 miles of big circle, sure enough the LTE signal comes back on again right where Sensory was map by someone with the LTE. Robert I think you want take me for a spanking back out in the woods and yes it is frustrating to see a LTE tower few feet from me and not able to get any LTE without toggling airplane or reboot the phone. That was before. I hope everything is getting better for everyone and your pursuit of LTE signal.

250gb for me is not enough at home and I sometimes supplement my Sprint on it.

I find that Sensorly does not work with the screen off. That is what it said due to Android OS.

I have Sensory and VZW is blanket with LTE right now more than any other carriers.

You mean between S3 and HTC LTE, the S3 wins? After 1 day, the radio update as been great compare to previous radio. I want to wait few more days and see if it hang on the LTE more often.

I have been pleased with the update radio after 1 day. I have also join Sensory and my house got a purple circle on my street. I guess themuffinman had it on the side where Hooters is?

Before I did my update this morning, my LTE has keep degrading by the day until it can never find LTE anymore even if I am feel blocks from the LTE tower. I like to wait a few days without reboot or toggle airplane mode to see it can really hang onto the LTE before I celebrate a little.

Have you all seen better performance and LTE connection with the newer OTA update? I finally was able to get s-off and update my Radio , PRL, etc today. I will know more in a few days after I dont reboot my phone. You all notice improvement?

I paid $420 for it. :-( But since it has Hboot 1.12 that would be on high demand. Actually I want to get the HTC Evo Design. I cant even find one that is NEW. The beauty it got is a SIM card. I can use it here or in Canada and in my country and get a prepaid SIM card and use it. I cant leave Sprint becaue the SERO is sooo awsome. Benchase7, what is that video? Looks weird. Optical illusion?

I regret selling my 3D phone. I should have keep using until mid of next year. Why didnt I do more research? Before I can go further, I need to resolve this s-off thing. I cant even do OTA update.

Anyone see improvement in the LTE hanging on? Threshole improved? I cant update. Have to depent on the cook ROM people.

I have not seen any improvement at all. I am right near a tower and my LTE does not hang on. The completion rate now is end of 2013.

What does this mean: Current Production Rate Completion = August 2013 Are you serious ???

I am at this one particular location yesterday aroung 7 pm and I am getting avg 13 mbps down and 9 mbps up. Then I did at 6:32 am this morning and it was avg 26 mbps down and 14 mbps up. I guess it works great when nobody is using it.
