Yay!

It's nice but they're only t1 so I rarely see more than 1.2mbps. The one near my apartment must be network vision because I can get up to 2 mbps at low usage times.

I don't know the specific area but I definitely watch videos on 3g all the time. Sure you need to give it about 30 seconds to buffer but if you really can't be bothered for such a thing, connect to WiFi. I was watching a show with no problem just before hopping on here. Don't give me crap about using up data with no purpose. I'm laying out on my parents deck enjoying the times when the sun is on the other side of the planet and the only people out here with a phone are asleep. Ahhh sweet under capacity rural towers. Also, whoever keeps quoting pc mag, we get it. We are on a site about Sprint deployment. We've read it.

Thanks Robert. I was thinking it was this way but just wanted to be sure. And of course he's getting gouged and raped for it, he has ATT, they seem to try to punish anyone that still has the "iPhone plan."

My friend is going to Japan for the summer. He has a deal through ATT which will let him receive unlimited texts and send about 200. I have just the standard 1500 Everything plan. Does anyone know if me sending or receiving texts with him will cost me internationally since his number is still American and he just happens to be in Japan. Thanks for any help guys.

I've got a good one for you, search for Sprint on Twitter. Terrifying.

The last time I was downtown during the mini marathon, I tested about 800Kbps. On the north side a few days ago, around 86th and Michigan I got 900Kbps, sometimes higher. Here in Muncie I've been seeing speeds fluctuate violently in the past week. A few towers here are due for NV updates so I'm just crossing my fingers.

The new Nokia phones are causing quite a stir. Maybe one of those. edit: I'm thinking this because we haven't seen a lot of development or announcement buzz around a new phone. From this I'm figuring it's already a phone that's sort of done. Leads me to Galaxy SIII (Which I doubt since it would cut the life of the nexus dramatically short) or a Lumia device which supports LTE and the Windows Phone Developers Summit is on June 20th may hold some surprises. edit 2: Also there have been mystery benchmarks showing up on WP and I haven't heard of anything new on Android. Direct competition to the Evo and Nexus seems a little crazy right now.

Oh man. Good thing that computer is long gone. Windows XP was so dangerous concerning viruses.

I think it's important to remember that Macintosh is a fantastic OS while iOS is a horrible one. That being said, the reason Apple is under so much scrutiny is because their profits are phenomenal. It's extremely clear that they can improve pay and conditions. As Mr. Jobs said, "Those jobs aren't coming back." This is fine but the company is far to successful to be so evil. Basically, enough people have iThings that this story can be much more sensational and used to raise awareness. While I'm against misinformation, I think it's important to be aware of the source of your products. If we can't trust people to check on it and care then we can see an infographic about it which someone hopes will be posted to many a tumblr and Facebook pages. Or perhaps it's easier just to accept the new product from big brother. I do love my Mac and I have my own reasons but those horrible iOS devices. Why God why? Oh and fun fact. It costs Apple somewhere around 90 bucks to make an iPhone, most of that is shipping to US.

Just now saw this topic. I'll get a screen of the Indianapolis one up and another I saw in the Greenwood area of Indy. downtown Indianapolis. Just east of Greenwood. Cheers. Side note, for a quick image host, imgur.com works fine for me. You don't even need to make an account.

It's just a security update but with the promise of Ice Cream Sandwich on the horizon, I'm excited for anything. A more official link. http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/411880#411880

And threads like this are why like this forum. I do find it odd though, people hating towers so much, simply because when they were building towers in my home town people just said things like "Yeah! now I don't have to stand on my pickup truck to make a call." No really, you had to stand in the truck bed or on something of equivalent height. Did I mention I was from the country? This was more than five years ago mind you.

Neat, I haven't checked that site in a bit. They're finally doing work on the towers that cover campus. Excellent. You may as well ignore any 3G signal you have there ATM.

Even if the number is optimistic it's quite impressive. I've been in love with Nokia's new designs. Only one more thing to make me buy this, the network. ...also, why is there a star of david under the main antenna?

There are too many scary big words in this thread for an iPhone fan to chirp in. Also, we have to remember that it's not iOS vs Android. It's about the experience and even with iOS 5 iOS feels like a 3 year old experience. Android depends highly on your version. I really wish people would be more open to operating systems. If HP hadn't killed WebOS it would have been great. It is seriously one of the smoothest OS's I've ever used and it reached a whopping, what version 2? Also, we can't count out Windows Phone 7 just yet. It's growing like crazy and I haven't met the person yet that says, man I wish I hadn't switched to WP7. And where are my flip phones! Why can't I have a nice sleek modern flip phone. Japan and DoCoMo make them and they look sweet. Even Android flip phones if you're are stuck to the OS and want a pile of Sexy Girl XXX wallpaper apps in the Play Store. If we don't have the app stores, I'm looking at things like HTML5 to make these locked platform apps of the now obsolete. Sorry for the rant guys, and the picture gallery. I just think American carriers are so stuck on the candy bar, you can never drop this phone, design.

iPhone 4. What I narrowed down was windows would think that it was a camera and install the wrong drivers. iTunes would not recognize it and he would mistakenly reset the software or something. I never really saw the problem happen, only fixed it once it was messed up. Probably PEBKAC but it had the affect of discouraging updates.

Expansion on this, My friend, every time he would try to update his iPhone on his PC it would go to the 'plug into iTunes' screen and not work unless he plugged it into my MacBook or my friend's PC. For this reason, he never really updates anymore. Just not worth it.

I think they should stick to Android or Chrome. Chrome is a pretty strong name now and I really thought they were going to build that but now I have Play Music, Play Books, and Play Store on my phone. I hope they make a real marketplace for apps with certified apps so I don't have to read 15 reviews on every app to make sure I'm not downloading a widget that advertises to me every hour. That's the main thing I'd like to see come out of this.

Get ready to have "play" shoved down your throat because I think Google is going to try to build that name like Microsoft did with "Live" and Apple did with "i."

The only part of this I could see holding any truth is the idea of a better tablet OS, maybe built off Chrome OS. Google has so much in Android right now, I'd think it be a heck of a lot easier just to fix Android than build a new OS, but I think neither will occur.

Indianapolis area is pretty much upgraded by now but I remember similar experiences when the changes swept through. It seemed very sudden. I never had a lack of bars, just a lack of speed like they were over capacity. Now it's great though. I'm glad to see Sprint finally repairing it's image. I'm seeing more and more excitement for the carrier even just among my friends and family.

Their list is shorter but it looks like they're still doing plenty of work. Right now it looks like they have more planned for the future than Sprint. Just look at the Indianapolis area. It's lit up.

Alright, finally home. Yes, to me, WiMax is Sprint's WiMax and whatever values that carries. I understand that something you know quite a bit about can be annoying when someone simplifies it so much but I think it's safe to say that whatever WiMax/LTE/CDMA/EvDo signal I'm talking about is the one that Sprint offers. I did not think to mention that since these are very specific Sprint forums. And really, hardly any signal pierces those old buildings especially as weak as all 4G deployments are. What I was getting at really was about how directional the signal was. I know they put the antennas up facing several directions and I was just pondering if being too low would cut out signal even if buildings were less of an issue. My school, Ball State, did testing with WiMax on it's own and deployed at 2.5 Ghz and their tests had decent signal even in the depths of buildings so I'm very aware it's possible. You've answered my question quite fine but I do think it's safe to say that WiMax and LTE when written simply on s4gru.com are referring to what Sprint offers unless explicitly stated otherwise. As the buildout of LTE hits full swing soon, you're going to have people a lot less knowledgable than me here. edit: Not trying to be mean or disrespectful at all, I really like this community. I'm just speaking frankly.
