AJC1973

at the airport today in phx... i connected band 41 got some ridiculous speeds... at a site that has been pre network vision with no lte upgrades... and i have connected to all three lte bands, as well as some 1x800... i knew that it was getting close sprint and alu have been here nightly working on the site... for the past week I posted an engineering screen and speed test screen shot link while on 41 its on the phoenix building permits page... YAY PHX...

Pictures or it didnt happen LOL

If you used the same avatar here as in sprint id realized who i was talking to lol

So how does it know when using hands free? I love replying with my gear live...

I have a metawatch now...it gets the job done the best part is being in a meeting, get a text or other notification and im not grabbing my phone a flick a glance to the watch, i know the info i need. and if i need to respond i can make that decision. i dont have to look like im not interested in what my boss has to say by looking at my phone.. all the freaking time... I want a more feature filled one than what i got now, it does what it advertises and it does it well but the idea of google wear operating system has me sold, i really like google now, and having it on my wrist is even better. i wasnt sold on the galaxy gear, either the first or second one... but the moto360 so far(granted its just hype till we actually see it later this month) but so far i really like what i see...

http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2014/06/13/report-sprint-will-lose-its-name-if-it-wins-t.html grrr i was worried about this... cingular keeping AT&T's Name... made sense.. but grrr i dont want to be TMO lol

you should look at the people that are wanting to do it.. that being fined wasnt a big enough risk... and that its worth it... amazing the responses its sickening...

the seachickens are getting bashed? oh nos

factory reset your phone

the S4 and the Note 3 already have it, im surprised that the S5 didnt have it out of the box. It works really well... it will certainly remove the need of an Airwave altogether I imagine it will be on OTA update really soon for the S5

i posted that before i really tested it... i thought it was working, but later on i noticed that i had a notification saying that i had an error in activation, i clicked on it, it said it was activated and working on my phone(like it did the first time) but when i tried to use it the notification came up again... i tried a couple things i saw on android central but nothing worked yet... figured id try it again when i got home after work... but as soon as i get it to work right ill let you know

Just got my uupdate so far it works OK... Does this mean I can scrap my airwaves now lol

whats the question? Who is taking down the nextel equipment in each market? The people that are putting up the Network Vision equipment are taking down the old nextel/sprint equipment when they do the build out, so it varies from market to market city/city

oh yes i see why you had problems... just south of the old Chevy proving grounds yes down there is challenging hell till just last week i didnt have any 4g data in in my house just a few miles away... williams field and power got 4 g recently but the two sites near eastmark are NV complete just not 4G yet... we havent seen any 800 in the east valley yet... there were a couple in west mesa though

well living here... i can most definitely imagine it being worse... the differences between now and just a couple months ago are night and day. I dont know where in Mesa you were but i get 4g on the 202 almost the entire trip between AJ and the Airport as well as on the 60 and the airport... in fact last week i was watching youtube videos while my car pooler drove. and bringing down at worst 7megs at best 17 just a couple of months ago that wasn't possible.. in fact a couple months ago it was near impossible to listen to sticher and drive to work... without constant buffering

on that Site... but what if you are getting LTE on one tower but 1X on another that happens alot... even when both towers have LTE sometimes a different site has better conditions angle of the panels no big tree in the way... a hill etc

thats true but since there is no way to tell on that map which towers it says is influencing the markings on the map you cant tell if its because of signal propagation or obstacles from less distant tower ... and we are seeing the signal from a more distant tower that we never ever thought of. if the map let us select and deselect towers we could then guess a little better.. but it doesn't and it wont ever thats why the map is so absolutely frustrating

so the op says that coverage map is correct and you all say its wrong and don't answer the question lol the question was why would there be lte coverage in an area but not voice it happens because of the propagation differences between the frequencies, also LTE could be off one tower without obstructions and the voice on another without a clear line of site. the areas not covered may have a higher altitude or be in a valley.. the coverage maps are a conglomerate of what every tower is doing...best case scenarios. what the tower will do if perfectly set up. it doesn't ever bring into account obstacles and its impossible to see which tower a signal is being broadcast from . that's why its notoriously bad to use. but at the same time as you have seen you can find potential anomalies and the only way to tell is to test it like you did.. not just dismiss it completely it would be great tool if you could turn on and off towers to see the effect on the map. but alas it doesnt..

because the politicians that run them get kick backs from companies

Just remember its 1x800 and not 800mhz LTE... Its a nice welcome and it improves things alot but i know a few people that has already been confused.

Ooh it was 4.42 yah kit Kat

I got an update downloading.... Slowly... Hopefully it's 4.4 will update when I know for sure lol because it wouldn't be the first time an expected update turned out not being the one u wanted lol

http://androidandme.com/2014/02/news/kitkat-kernel-source-for-the-sprint-galaxy-note-3-released-update-coming-soon/ GOOD NEWS for note3 peeps should be seeing the kitkat ota within the next week if it rolls out like it did for the S4 it will be more like a few days from now...

well thats not surprising all the Iowa Snowbirds/transplants out here in AJ probably had something to do with saying hey i had mediacom they worked great in iowa.. i had never heard of them till i moved out here... i thought the entire valley was serviced by cox. hell even cox customer service was confused by it... its weird..

I didnt confuse it i went to the town council and asked straight up when i moved there...there is a request to allow cox in but that has fallen on deaf ears at the town council even with petitions cox has been trying to get into the town for years but cant get the town council to approve it... it may work your way in maine but out here in AZ it doesnt
