Theres a reason why Sprint bought US Cell 20Mhz of PCS spectrum.  In short order they will be a substantial boost.

Glad it's not only me. For a market that is almost finished, it's pretty horrid. I'm hoping it's related to some kind of market-wide work being done. Otherwise, we're in trouble. Maybe 800 LTE work?

Thats so nasty! Haha

Yeah, after those Hot Pockets, this is the inevitable result...

Should have been more specific. On I90 the tower on Anthony rd in Garden Prairie is 4g. And that covers 90 for a good stretch. Belvidere coverage sucks for 4g. A few days ago saw them running lines. First thought was fiber not sure though. If it was the tower by route 20 in bv should provide a major boost around town.

I was actually visiting friends in belvedere. We drove all around that town. 3G everywhere except the center of town, that had a little LTE showing up. And very slow 3G. Pages wouldn't load, speed tests timed out. I know Rockford is pretty well covered. Belvedere, not so much.

4G Shuts off after you pass Randall exit . It should kick on over in Belvidere and Rockford should be pretty well covered.  My Sprint phone is the Optimus G. Being on 1x800 I dont remember the last time I dropped a call. Maybe a few months back in LITH Costco. 

Hahaha,  Whatcha talkin bout Willis?

No, the thief will have LTE.

Speculation or not there's alot more field testing that'll need to do with the device. Tbh, Im surprised its coming out that soon.

Only one with certainly is Vzw. Distance really sucks to determine other carriers.

You no me no you no me. Dang it, can you make up your mind?

Played with the Att version @ Costco and I gotta say its Awesome.   Was a little worried itwould be too big. Its Just a little bigger then the Optimus G nothing at all to complain about.  Will be my next device mainly for the triband capabilities.  Unless the Nexus 5 totally knocks my socks off.

Looks to me like Nextel and Clear.

With out looking at the responses its Tmobile.  

It got taken out with the update too. At this time I haven't come across at a way as of yet. I'll post it if I do.

I just read the post; I got to the menu, but I see no option for "System Selection."

Fix for sms issues and some other stuff.

I just got a 90+MB system update on my LG Optimus G. Anyone know what it is?

Couldn't tell ya. Its been so long since I talked to someone in IT about it.

Where is it at? All of the carriers seem to have towers around NIU, so I'm not sure who would be on a DAS.

Lets ask Russia if it will take back Alaska.

Just make sure to give Sprint your address, so they can put a tower in your back yard

No doubt. I'd love to see Sprint do a full NV conversion on the Rapid City WiMax Protection Site, and then expand coverage around the area. And maybe they can start next week?

If you signal was strong and speeds(10+megs) good. Your tower should be accepted very soon. If not they might need a little more tweaking.

Yeah, it was installed in 2011. Last I heard only Vzw was tied into it.  But this was a few years back. 

On a side note I gotta tip my hat to ATT. They've been hauling ass building DAS sites all across the country. Its Great they make them for all carriers to tap into.  

NIU has one?

When I said "All" I just was speaking for Chicago.  Soldier,Wrigley,United Center All already had DAS installed. Just Sprint didn't tie into them until now.  Don't be surprise that they tie into the Universities DAS too. NIU, Northwestern, etc.  

All major venues have DAS in them. Only now Sprint has taken the initiative to Tie into the systems. Its better days ahead for the network. Sadly we got a few more quarters before the public takes notice.   

check the update, u may like what u see with the update to solider field.

Really no matter solder field has a DAS and I'm totally surprised they havent hooked up to it yet. 

Not enough subcontractors was a big problem. People say it's back haul I dispute that. 4 major companies doing upgrades and when your the last one you don't have much picking to choose from as far as reputable companies to work with. I know plenty of towers with fiber installed and no NV. IMO Phx is really an easy market to upgrade. ITS really ramping up from what I'm hearing.

Also something that a little old and haven't shared.

In May I spoke to one of the owners(my neighbor) of a subcontracting firm that's doing NV. Hes doing towers all over Az and ABQ At that time he said it'd take 11 months to do the market. By all indications it looks like that will be right. Unless of course they start mixing in TDLTE.

Forget it, I figured it out.  3845#*970#   is the code to get into the secret menu. Find IOT Hidden menu -> System Selection->Network mode -> LTE Only

Anyone know how to put the phone just in LTE mode. 

Beam me up, Scotty!

Was hoping for a human leather back instead. Totally Disappointed.
