Yesterday stopped at the big Starbucks with the drive-thru on US 14 in Crystal Lake. While inside the car I witnessed nothing but 3G on my Moto X with 273 ms ping times and download speeds... when the network would stay connected...of a pathetic 80 kb/sec. Hopefully that has all changed.

Thanks

Do you have any suggestions for how I might be able to finagle a future swap date for a tri-band Android device? Since I would never consider a Phablet like the LG G2, the Galaxy 4 mini sounds tempting...though I'm really used to Moto's superior battery charge life. Again explain to me, in lay terms, why the dual-band I-Phone 5s wouldn't be advantageous for pulling data on 800mHz. As I said Sprint has told us we have 60 days No Risk cancellation here in Chicago Will the Galaxy 4S Mini be here within that time frame ( I have 55 days remaining). Is the HTC One Mini headed Sprint's way in Tri-Band, or the Moto X? (FYI again the 3G signal is so weak inside my house this morning that the Moto X can't sync my Yahoo Email.)

Sounds like I should get the I-Phone 5S and switch my plan to the $65/ mo Unlimited Plan with early upgrade in a year. When they will have a more suitable selection of dual or tri-band handsets. Hopefully a Moto X so configured. In general how do the Sprint I-phones compare to the Motos in terms of signal reception and voice clarity?

Is this normal here in Chicago? If so why are they still pushing the 1900mHz single band devices? My sister got an HTC One in June. All she has been able to get at her house out in Barrington is mostly 3G. And why is Sprint 3G so slow? Is the network capacity at its limit? With the USCC speeds were typically twice the Sprint speeds.

Recently came to Sprint from USCC. Got the 1900 mHZ LTE Moto X. Out on the street in front of my house signal was all LTE, Speedtest showed 57 ms latency and 4mb/sec downloads. Walked inoto the house: 1st floor, which is double masonary construction: 1 bar 3G signal, 120 ms latency, download speeds <300 kb/sec. Now I walk upstairs where the construction is frame and voila: 4G signal just like outside the house Will the launch of 800 mHz here in Chicago is there any chance the 1900 mHz signal will improve to allow 4G to penetrate the walls of the masonary part of the home? Or am I better off swapping to a dual band device like the I-Phone 5S to catch the 800 mHz signal when it goes live? Thanks to all in advance.

Thanks LiloTimz

Just ported from USCC to Sprint My Way Plan here in Chicago earlier this week. Selected the Moto X at corporate store. Gave them my house street address where the claimed the data service was 4G LTE. Out on the street in front of my house signal was LTE, Speedtest showed 57 ms latency and 4mb/sec downloads. Walked inoto the house: 1st floor, which is double masonary construction: 1 bar 3G signal, 120 ms latency, download speeds <300 kb/sec. Now I walk upstairs where the construction is frame and voila: 4G signal just like outside the house Now I know that the Moto X is 1900 mHz LTE only. Will the launch of 800 mHz here in Chicago is there any chance the 1900 mHz signal will improve to allow 4G to penetrate the walls of the masonary part of the home? Or am I better off swapping to a dual band device like the I-Phone 5S to catch the 800 mHz signal when it goes live? Thanks to all in advance.
