I got a little too buy happy with my speculative Sprint position and my account is a tad too correlated to Sprint now. Whoops

How is LG with updating to newer android versions? From a quick Web search it doesn't look promising. I have Samsung and I have been spoiled with expecting to get the latest android updates. I'm surprised no reviews seem to point this problem out.

What makes you think that Sprint wouldn't participate in both? Trust me if this is one of the last slivers of beachfront spectrum, all 4 major carriers will be at the auction. Sprint and Tmobile are in different situations than in 2008 so they will definitely be ready to compete for blocks of spectrum. Assuming that 80 MHz is available, I want Sprint to obtain 20 MHz of that 600 MHz spectrum.

I would prefer they buy all 80 MHz and sell 2500/2600 after a 2 year period. With 1900 LTE propagation being so horrible, I would venture only only half of Sprints customers will actually benefit... My completed town only has about 2 percent covered with usable LTE... That means that 2500/2600 is a distraction for many and not a saving grace.

Yeah, my bad, i meant the nexus 5.

All a matter of preference. I for one like the larger battery life, larger screen, knock on, and the useful customizations and software additions of the LG G2. For me, vanilla android has not caught on for me yet even though I'm trying like heck to like it. Vanilla android takes away all the things I expect like eye tracking features and settings at my finger tips and in its place, gives me unintuitive controls (aka camera app controls).

I have an 'elago' case for my Galaxy S3 and it doesn't look like they made a version for the G2 as of yet

Can't decide if I want the black or the white one :-(

It is a shame the back of the phone isn't as sexy as the nexus 4 and the bezels not as small as the -g2

Darn... My upgrade is up on November 1st which is prior to the phone delivery date but Best Buy will not let me pretty order yet :-(

Are these issues related to backhand issues that can be fixed by purchasing more fiber lines or are these spectrum issues that will only get fixed via other means such as 2600

Does anyone know what kind of monitoring sprint is able to do on their new towers?

For people who have S4GRU sponsor access... I posted some graphs of the OC network vision updates over time at http://www.s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1120-Comments-related-to-NV-Sites-Complete-&-Site-Acceptance-Update-Threads#entry218619

I'm in Vegas this weekend and the 4g was better than I thought. I had it from the near strip east to close to the Hoover Dam.

Are there any Aliso Viejo folks in here? I live there and the upgrades appear pretty complete around the town centers but the LTE only seems to cover like 5 percent of the area. Are there some ghost towers hiding that we don't know of? Do the hills really make the LTE signal only travel about 100 feet?

Lol... I just drive from OC to Vegas. Last year I used to be able to stream videos. Now for the entire road I never once got a speedtest over 0.02mbs. My oh my. Hopefully these are all microwave sites that can be upgraded quickly.

Love the new app. I feel like it is a lot more social and that I am actually contributing to the data. Before it felt like my data was going to a black box that I hoped someone was going to use. I just got the two highest scores in Laguna Beach! Over 20 mbs :-)

What's the speed like?

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

I believe Google said they were going to release a lot of moto x refreshes so if you wait until the end of the year you might get lucky with a moto x2 with triband

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

I'm hoping it has the same technology as the LG G2 where the RAM takes some of the load away from the screen (something like that)

Very nice to hear good news. For you, 800 LTE will be key :-)

What I like to do is use sensory and speed tests to find quick areas and then I go to the root metrics app to boost sprint up. Need to help my sprint stock any way I can get :-)

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

For those of you who follow Root Metrics, we are starting to see the fruits of Sprint's roll-out.  I am more consistently seeing Sprint hold its own against the other carriers and am seeing the indicators change to green.  Congrats Sprint!

What phone do you have?

I've heard around these forums that LTE will not drain a phone's battery any more than 3g on newer phones.  I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 though and that seems not accurate in my case to the point where I almost dread LTE showing up because I'll be having to go on airplane mode within a couple hours.

Even when I go to a place with strong Sprint LTE signal with high data rates (e.g.; 20 mbps), my phone will only last a few hours at most before I am in the yellow.  If I am on 3g though with that kind of signal and general use, I can generally last a day without charging.  

Is the Samsung Galaxy S3 just not good at LTE battery life or is LTE simply a battery hog?  I am hoping it is the former since I'm going to be upgrading soon. 

Thank you! Very interesting results. The two sites my phone connects to (per signal check) at my house are not actually on that map. Could this be the antennas reporting a wrong location?
