I have a new LG G3. According to Sprint's coverage maps, I live in an area that has Spark. Great I thought. Turned off my stupid Airave yesterday to test and up popped the LTE and Spark icons. Yay! However today I turned the Airave off and was rewarded with crappy 3G only. I feel lied to. Sprint's maps tell me I am in a Spark "Best" area, but.... I've been a loyal customer for nearly 13 years but this is ridiculous. Needing an Airave isn't their fault-my stupid landlord did major renovations when he moved in and whatever he did blocked our reception big time. We went from no issues to being on roaming most of the time. (Once we went outside, reception was fine). Now with the Airave turned off we get 3-4 bars but only 3G?
Anyway, why did I have LTE and Spark yesterday but now can't connect to anything but 3G? I haven't changed anything. I asked for info on my area from other NYC area folks but my post was ignored. Haven't had the chance to venture out with my phone yet due to being under the weather, but I hope to get better news when I do.
I really can't complain that much. This phone is still a huge improvement over the horrid Galaxy Nexus I upgraded from-that was by far the worst phone I've ever had.
