  1. Is there going to be anyone on hand to get video or do a review of the demonstration? Im really curious to see the real world results.
  2. I guess so. I thought it had not been broadcasting because im always in the area and never pick up LTE. Today to my surprise i got a bunch of LTE notifications as i got on the offramp on 60th street. They must be doing some fine tuning before turning the rest of nearby towers on...well...atleast that is my wishful thinking
  3. I drove my normal route to work this morning along 894 & 60th street off ramp. LTE popped up for the first time. It's gotta be the Loomis rd tower that has been marked active but was not broadcasting. I'm going to map it on my way home from work today.
  4. Am i the only one wondering why the delay of the G2 on Sprint? I think i saw a page back about something related to new Triband Phone plans....the delay really has me wondering what Sprint is going to do pricing wise with the 2.5ghz spectrum...
  5. It's been really quiet here over the last few weeks, wondering how much longer before more towers are turned on in the area. I was really hoping to have some usable LTE in my area before signing a new contract as my phone really needs an upgrade.
  6. When was the last time a new tower in our area came online with 4G? Seems like forever.
  7. Yea, and that tower has been marked complete for how long? Must be like 2+ months.
  8. Yea work has seemed to just go to 1 tower every week or two. It really does not seem like work is ramping up at all. Not sure what the issue is, although i have heard ATT has been extremely slow to getting backhaul to sites. Would be nice to hear from someone that has info on why work is taking so long, we have seen many towers in the market with NV equipment on it but are not active.
  9. A coworker who lives in west allis near state fair could not connect her iphone 4 to any 3G the last couple days. She called Sprint and they said the tower on 66th by state fair was "down". All traffic routed to 43rd street, but that tower is overloaded. I also noticed lots of 1xRTT and EV-DO the last couple days. I have to toggle airplane to get EHRPD, otherwise it goes to EVDO. Must be working on something around here.
  10. I was at the brewers game yesterday and was getting really good performance before, during, and after the game. No issues what so ever. It was nice for once. Any ideas that the issue is with the Loomis Rd & 894 tower? That thing has been marked at accepted for weeks with no Sensorly LTE mapping yet.
  11. Tell me if this makes sense: i was sitting at my uncle's house today and i had around a -98ehrpd signal. I thought i was in range of the west allis LTE tower but was not getting the LTE signal after doing all cycles and prl updates, so i figured i was out of range. All of a sudden LTE rings in at -109. The funny thing is i kept losing the LTE because the ehrpd signal was stronger. The only problem was that ehrpd was unusable which is pretty much expected of 3G in milwaukee. so frustrating.
  12. I am seriously considering the LG G2 for my next phone. The only issue i have come across so far is that the orginal Optimus G for Sprint seems to have similar issues with radios that the EVO has. This makes me quite uneasy to take the leap when it first comes out. I guess i will wait till the reviews on radio performance come out.
  13. Battery is 3000mah plenty of juice for a full day of heavy usage.
  14. I have had 2 instances so far in the last couple of days where my Evo has picked up LTE for a split second and then i lost the signal. Both locations were areas where there is no LTE tower nearby. Might be testing or possibly picking up a VERY faint signal from an LTE tower farther away. Both signals were around -125. 1st location was 3031 W Montana St., Milwaukee 53215 2nd location was 220 E Sunset Dr., Waukesha 53189
  15. I mapped the waukesha tower on 59/Arcadian and can confirm the signal at Goerke's corner is not the waukesha tower. It's the brookfield tower.
  16. It's more than just a I'm better than you type of situation. It's perception and marketing. The only way Sprint gets more new customers to their network is to show what it is capable of. Do you think someone would want to switch to a lower speed network? In most cases for all of us here on the S4RGU, its more about capacity and not having your network bog down when the network is saturated. The general public does not get that fact, and to be honest, it would be nice to say that you are on a better network instead of feeling like a third step child. Meh...my 2 cents.
  17. Hmm...i have not seen an LG tablet before.
  18. Coming from an iPad 2....battery life is meh...i have to charge it every 3 days... iPad2 would go about 2 weeks before i needed to charge it. BUT I HAVE ANDROID 4.3!!! WOOOHOOOO
  19. What about this tower? Milwaukee / Samsung Market. Tower is live with LTE.
  20. Question: Did you try connecting both your laptop and the Note and perform a speedtest at the same time? I was just wondering if 2600 might be throttled. Sorry if this was covered before in the thread...its really long!
  21. Wow...pretty decent signal for a "basement". Can't wait to see what results you get today with the USB to Laptop connection.
  22. I took some pictures of the Waukesha Tower. Is Sprint on the 2nd Rack from the top? Total of 3 racks on the tower. Anybody know what each rack is?
  23. Good to hear. Im near South High School and am a little out of range of the tower. Hopefully more Waukesha towers go live next week. Is anyone going to State Fair today? Im wondering if that West Allis tower is close enough to get a signal. I guess i will find out tomorrow when i go.
