sell it on ebay.You will get a good price if the phone in good condition with no scratches

I think thats what I am going to do.

Trade you an EVO LTE. Or an S3

 

Sent from my little Note2

Hahah. I already have S3.

Sprint "quietly" launched lte in parts of San Fran, NYC and DC today, if you look at the maps on sensorly the areas are covered pretty well. Hopefully this is an indicator Philadelphia is right around the corner, and the coverage will be just as good!

I have saw that article somewhere weeks ago. I think it was one NYTIMES weeks ago.

not really.it's thinner and at feels lighter than my old EVO 4G. You need to test it/carry for a week or 2 I bet after that will change your mind.

I have a note II as well but i feel it is too big for a phone. I can literally use it as a tablet.

I feel my SG3 is just right for a cell phone.

After owning the note II I will never own anthing less than 5.5 :-)

Dont you feel it is bit too big?

I feel 5 inch is the max for a phone. My samsung galaxy s3 feels just right.

Also, i think it will be cool for sprint to roll out transparent phones hahahaha... Like the Iphone commercial created by that kid.

Would be awesome if Samsung creates phone to display holograms

yea. Sprint is currently only rolling out LTE on 1900. So i think it is hard for S4 to have lte on both the 800/1900.

Art Museum Area/Fairmount. My buddy has an S3 and ususally gets 2 bars in my house, which is better but not good enough for the cost of switching my phones over! haha

Sell your iphones hahahah. Then get S3.

Sell your iphones hahahah. Then get S3.

Ah, I've done the whole dance...opened up tickets for outages, etc...would only get 1 bar in my house max. It would sometimes roam onto Verizon, but drop my call when it switched. Same behavior with my old phone (HTC Evo) and my current two phones (iPhone 5's) :-/

Where do you live? Which part?

i suggest get Samsung Galaxy s3 or HTC ONE X. They get pretty good signals.

Yeah, I hear ya...my service is just one step above non-functioning. I did get Sprint to send me an Airave for my house where I got absolutely no voice coverage so that's something. And I'm really hoping LTE at least helps on the data side (obviously wifi works for data at home...). I'd be happy with "normal" 3G speeds once the conversion to LTE happens, using my phone is somewhat painful at this point.

Airave is pretty much using your DSL or Broadband connection instead of their network.

It boosts, but at times it interferes with certain signals.

I suggest, unplug airave and see how the connection is.

I'm right there with you...I was up to a BLAZING .29 Mbps right after 3G became available...now we're back below .1 Mbps. At least the ping times aren't >500ms anymore!

 

But to be honest, I am happy if I can get web pages to load on my phone.

I'm right there with you...I was up to a BLAZING .29 Mbps right after 3G became available...now we're back below .1 Mbps. At least the ping times aren't >500ms anymore!

 

Hhaha... Just funny that you said BLAZING FAST AT 0.29MB ahhahaa...... If i get that on a regular basis I guess it is BLAZING fast.

It just sucks..... I was waiting patiently for half a year to see some improvements in 3G but, I guess 3G is just what it is.

I just want the aXX-kicking LTE....

Samsung Galaxy S4 is rumored to show on March 14th of 2013.

I am just wondering how Apple is going to keep up with the competition....

Insane, Samsung Galaxy S4 is rumored to show on March 14th. Apple has to do something....

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57569903-1/samsung-galaxy-s4-the-next-flagship-could-set-sail-march-14/

Any hope of apple ever destroying android went away when Steve Jobs passed away. Anyway, what apple needs to do is release the rumored iphone 10.

 

LOL. That's revolutionary Iphone 10. Hhahah.

I think Apple has to release something to keep up with Samsung's effort, and in order to compete and be profitable.

Glad to hear it! Keep an eye on it and let me know if your speeds drop within the next few days, like mine.

Speed is down to 0.1MB or less. Hahha. Man, it is just a brief moment of joy.

Glad to hear it! Keep an eye on it and let me know if your speeds drop within the next few days, like mine.

I will certainly do.

Same here, in NEP. The other day, a few posts up actually, the tower at my work was down, when it came back online the first speed test was crazy. Now it's subsided a bit during the day and the speeds aren't great, but when I get i at 4 am I get close to 1-2 mbps up and as high as 3 down. I imagine I must be the only one using that tower at that time, so I'm sure that's the reason.

I just picked up my 3G again, and the speed ranges from 0.5 MB to 1.3 MB down. I am in an area where I usually get 0.01 MB to 0.1MB.

Big improvement.

Very true. Hosting alone can cost a pretty penny not to mention the man hours of having a Sys Admin actively monitor and maintain your site.

 

Plus there is benefit to being an active sponsor. The maps alone are a great resource.

 

Robert, I too have seen weird 3G outages in Philly Metro area. One of those outages at home (16th & Fitzwater in CC) last week was followed by dramatic improvement in 3G performance from at best .5Mbp/s download speed to a steady 1.5 to 2.0Mbp/s. I can actually stream netflix on my phone now without WiFi.

The speed is usually better when you get closer to center city.

It's nice to say things should be free. But nothing is free, someone has to pay for it, because things actually cost money. This website costs about $1200 - $1500 per month to keep operating. Our members chose to have those costs be paid by donations, rather then advertising. That is the revenue model of this site.

 

You are welcome to only use the public content of this site, and that's fine. Sponsorship is not for everyone. And it helps us to keep the riff-raff out our Sponsor forums.

 

We offer a NV Running List thread which shows market percentages complete for the public: http://s4gru.com/ind...t-running-list/ However, maps are located in our Sponsor sections.

I forgot to factor in those costs. My bad. Hahaha...

I, for one, thank our Sprint overlords for teaching us the value of patience

Hahahah..... That was a long wait for me. I joined Sprint because of the LTE and unlimited data...... But it was a long wait.

Was told to have LTE by October, then December, now it is almost there. ..

But hopefully LTE gets here soon, we can all enjoy it....

Over in our Sponsor section, we have maps that show sites that have been completed in the Philly Metro market, as well as all markets nationwide. You guys don't need to depend on comments from members who say they've talked to someone. Become a sponsor and go check them out yourselves!

With all respect, I believe it is really not necessary, because word spreads, why pay for free info. Just my thought, information should be free because this site is about Sprint NV.

Haha - Freudian slip! Glad to hear progress is being made on the 4G LTE front...now if only they'd flip the darned switch! :-)

Keep in mind it can take month to get LTE tho. Just don't be overjoyed...Hahaha......

I spoke with one of my friend's NV manager at Sprint this morning, Just wanted to let everyone know that alot of places in Philadelphia has been upgraded to 4G LTE standards as of Feb. 8th of 2013. They are not turned on for some reason. Apparently there are tons of 3G outrages in Philly. I cannot connect to 3G at all for 3 days now.

I guess 4G LTE is finally kicking in now.

I noticed another crew outside of my job again today on the tower, immediately after noticing them, my internet was down, then the cell service went out and I was roaming. Both my cellular and data would pop on and off, but definitely wasn't working as they should have.My question, could this indicate 4g will be at this site in the next couple of days, or am I just overexcited and it means nothing at all?

I was just on the phone with one of the manager for NV, she told me crews are here in Philly this week to backhaul some networks. It should just mean that they are doing some network maintenance and you should not be too over excited thinking that 4G LTE would arrive fast.

Another thing she said was that, 4G LTE is unpredicatable and a small error in network can delay the process. So she said no one knows for sure when it will be here in Philly. Although we were told by the forum that it should be here soon.
