True story.

Did it stay that way until you switched phones?

Mine will be fine and last all day at times. Others it drains incredibly fast. Lately I've been seeing more fast drains than not. I don't use the phone much. Light internet use, about ten texts a day average and I don't really talk on the phone at all. Also, it's been freezing a ton. There isn't anything unusual like apps using up the battery. Everything looks the same as before the update. It's pretty irritating more than anything else.

So this is what I'm experiencing now. I charge my phone and it lasts FOREVER on a full battery... When its not being used. However, once I start using it, even for small tasks, the battery drains very fast. Any ideas as to what could be draining the power? I've gone over everything I can think of as far as seeing what apps are running and whats been using the battery. Haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary... Hopefully this is all part of the phone getting used to the new software process and it will work itself out. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, Nothing is different or draining more than usual. This is horrible how fast it's draining now. I hope it's addressed soon.

Is anybody experiencing fast battery drains with the update? Mine is draining about 15-20% on 15 minutes of light use. Before kk I might have gone through 2-3% at the most. All settings on my phone are the same as they were before the update. I installed it the normal way.

When you get LTE on your way to work is it not forced? Where is it you're picking it up?

Jt. My brother lives down in the Springs. He told me his service there suddenly became horrible for about a week before everything went live and now it's amazing. We're close, hang in there a little longer. It's going to be sweet.

Nice. It falls within the month for sure and is an actual date. Hopefully this kind of confirmation continues from multiple sources that validates this time-frame!

Soooo... I had to call customer service today after some lovely individual decided to steal my iPad. For grins, after filing the report, I asked if she had any further info regarding the LTE roll-out here. She asked me to hold for a moment while she looked it up. When she came back she read what she found; It said all towers throughout the metro area are scheduled to be 100% complete as of April 1st. She continued reading her notes which said there is a buffer of at most a month after the completion date for all cell sites to be brought online, fully transmitting LTE. It concluded by saying if at the end of April I did not see LTE then it is a device issue, as the network is scheduled to be fully operational by then. Obviously, we all know the info provided by customer care needs to be taken with a grain of salt. However, because she didn't immediately know the answer and had to look it up made this info seem a bit more legit. Maybe we can get a couple guys from here (Santa, jthawks, I'm looking at you guys) to call customer care tomorrow and see if they get similar answers? For the record, she was nothing but pleasant the whole time. Such an amazing job representing Sprint and setting an example of what excellent customer service should be!

You're on the right track Santa. Why not just donate five bucks here to become a sponsor and have access to the maps? It's really nice being able to correlate what I see to the accepted sites Robert updates every day or two. After a while a pattern begins to emerge. We could team up and chase the activity with accepted sites around during this whole process. I can't think of a better way to annoy my girlfriend than to form a gang of us! Colin

Sorry bud, just got home a few minutes ago. Nope, nothing new at all. Picked up forced LTE in the usual places. How about you? Oh yeah, she wants LTE to happen more than I do sometimes

The day Merlin said things would begin to turn on here. Don't know how accurate it is, I think it was close to when he finally had enough.

I'm in the Highlands neighborhood, around 38th and Sheridan. I'm going to be running errands today in Westy, Aurora, and Littleton. Hopefully I'll collect some good data to share. I'll have one of my G2's set to normal, the other forcing LTE, and if the rumors are true I'll see some band 25 on my iPad. My girlfriend is driving so I can collect data. It's an awesome scavenger hunt for any grown child!

Dang it! Error, ignore this...
