it seems like I picked up way more 4G signals with my crappy samsung victory 4g lte phone than with my HTC One which is brand spanking new. why is that?
The Galaxy Victory 4G LTE is actually a really good RF device that could give most flagship phones a run for its money. iirc, it's RF characteristics are right around if not slightly above the GS3. The HTC One's RF characteristic is slightly below the GS3.

20 mhz total?
full upload and full download
20mhz that can be carrier aggregated with another 20 mhz and so on (20+20).
10:1 ratio that Clearwire uses for Wimax probably means theoreticals of ~100 mbps DL and ~20 mbps ul.

So they have absolutely no capability to do per user network monitoring?
They do just not things we end users can easily find. It's probably all in their backend monitoring especially the new upgraded software they gotten from the manufacturers. A perk of having an all new modular digital network.

You're confusing frequency with technology.
1xA is capability to have 4x capacity
800 MHz is the frequency-ish they're deploying it.
We call it CDMA 800 1xA here for a reason.
-
Do any phones now have 1xA?
Yes. Basically every phone with CDMA 800 support has been on the market since mid 2011 minus the iphone 4/4s.

Excellent! Rancho Cordova does not post their building permits online so I haven't been able to track that part of the state of applications there (they actually have a web page... that's incomplete...).
-
When were the permits in roseville issued?
Sponsor info if you want specific dates and information as I did spend many man hours trying to find all these permits but I'll tell you within the past 3 months.

Sprint will have CDMA 800 1xA on all NV cell sites. LTE. 800 will initially be on 75-80% of cell sites but they can and will activate the rest when needed to.

Lte lights up*
Anytime within 180 days as that's how long permits last. Typically within 3-4 weeks they'll start working on it after the permits issued.

20x20Mhz would have to be an FDD configuration, but oh well. Clear's TDD can definitely be an amazing asset to Sprint's spectrum portfolio, but still I don't see that being deployed sooner than Verizon's or T-Mo's 2x20Mhz network. I hope I'm wrong.
Clearwire is already deploying TDD-LTE / Wimax capable BRS 2500 equipment in the Midwest markets. In addition, LTE 800 is also slated to begin deployment in the midwest markets in the next 3 months. It isn't too hard to see that clearwire tdd-lte hotspots will possibly also go live in this time frame as Clearwire already has 2000+ sites completed for TDD-LTE but awaiting permission to hook up to sprints MSC.

If my family completely upgrades in the coming month (when all of us are eligible for early upgrade), I'll probably grab a GS4 and sell my old GS2. Then when tri-band phones come out, I'll sell the GS4 and utilize the funds from the sale to acquire the tri-band device.

Please elaborate?It does not illustrate capacity at all.

I've explained this elsewhere but there is a major difference when we're talking about something loading. The biggest factor in hunan perception of fast or slow on Internet connections is the latency or ping.
A 5mbps connection with 60 ping will 100% of the time be faster than 30mbps with 200 ping. The greatest factor we can physically observe is the time it takes for our input for an action to go to the server and return. That is what we think of when we say fast or slow. Not the connection speed.

Hmm, I am (a little less than a mile from Target). How so?
Extremely close (within 1 mile). Become a sponsor and you'll know exactly where it is.. (it's along 2nd street). Might be good news as 3 weeks passed since it's been issued! Come! Join le dark side and be a sponsor!

For those of you who got LTE where you live, did your service get really awful while they were upgrading your tower? Since Friday I can't make any calls without it cutting in and out, then dropping. 3g is practically nonexistent (.10 Mbps). I did Sprint chat Saturday and they said they were uppgrading my tower and it was expected to be completed the next day. It's still down so I chatted again and they said the estimate is this Friday (making it 8 days total of no service). They told me that I could get a credit for however many days my service is down. I literally cannot make a phone call. When I straight out asked if they were putting LTE on my tower, they couldn't tell me. It's so frustrating. I live in Orange near the corner of Taft and Glassel.
According to user experience from all over the forum, yep. That's part of the growing pain. They're probably doing a hotswap with your cell site since you get no service at all.

Man I try to donate but it won't accept my visa debit card >:/ i don't know why I have money in it and everything's fine.. I NEED to donate now!!
Maybe try using a visa gift card or something as a last resort?
-
Last night it said I was roaming at my house, usually I get one or two bars here. Hopefully this is an indication that the sites are being taken down.
Better hope you're in east davis!

I'm a recent Sprint subscriber, just switched from T-Mobile last week. Long story short, I didn't do my research and am so far disappointed by Sprint's data coverage (or lack thereof) in the Pittsburgh area. On another note, however, I was glad to find through reading this thread/checking out coverage maps on sensorly, that Sprint is beginning to unofficially roll out 4G LTE in the area.
have a question that someone with more knowledge or experience regarding past Sprint LGE Rollouts may be able to answer; what type of timeframe are we talking about when we look at the few blips of 4G that have been popping up, until a city/metro area of our size is substantially covered? End of the summer? End of the year? Early next year?
Pittsburgh is a Samsung market who is one of the more aggressive vendors for Sprint. Typically, they tend to bring up 4G LTE first as there are no other LTE 1900 signal to coordinate unlike EVDO 1900 which has to be turned on in clusters. Sprints deployment is a shotgun pattern where crews will go to wherever a site is ready to be worked on instead of waiting to work on a certain area. As rural sites are easier to get permitting and backhaul, typically crews begin there. As time passes by and more urban sites are ready, they'll transition from the rural sites into the urban areas.
Depending on the red tape from the local government, site owner, and backhaul provider, Samsung gets everything up and going 30-45 days after they begin (if backhaul is available). For a city the size of Pittsburgh and the amount of sites in it, in addition to Samsungs aggressiveness, I'll say around end of summer for a good portion of the city being covered.

Why don't you guys start your own permit map as well? Should help keep your mind off things
-
Ohh... interesting... a permit issued for a full build davis site... very interesting indeed.

Yes, I know it isn't. I was basically stating that being in an area with strong LTE coverage isn't always a guarantee of getting NV 3G.
In urban areas, Sprint has to work delicately with the cell sites in order to minimize service disruptions to subscribers. As such, they will do cluster launches on the 3G side of things. In the meantime, the legacy 3G equipment will continue to be in service.

Dish - they never asked Sprint to host their network.
Lightsquared - they're trying to share some spectrum with (NOAA)
Early 2012..
Government --> Lightsquare -- " NOPE! YOU NO USE SPECTRUM! YOU DISRUPT SATELLITE!"
Lightsquare --> Bankruptcy court , Sprint bails.
Circa summer 2012
Dish -> Sprint-- "Hey Hesss--ehhh, how about this. You host our spectrum on your Network Vision towers and we'll let you use it to offload from your network!"
Sprint -> Dish ... " I'll think about it..."
Softbank -> Sprint " Awww! Let's get on this silk bed and ... talk about our future..."
Sprint -> Softbank " *smooches*, let's get clearwire in here as well.."
Dish -> Sprint / Softbank "FUUUUUUUU... I'll buy CLEARWIRE!!!"
Sprint Softbank -> Dish "Fu, majority ownership bish"
Dish -> Softbank "FUUU, I'll BUY SPRINT! HESSE! YOU BISH, COME HERE AND WIPE MY SHOES!"
Softbank -> "F U! Time to use le maths to prove you are a bish"...

How can the 3G upgrades be fully complete if only 50% of the sites in the NYC market have seen NV upgrades? And if a site has been upgraded but the backhaul isn't ready, I don't see how it can be considered complete.
I'm also referring to just NYC (Queens/Brooklyn), it seems like I'm almost always connected to a legacy site, even if I'm in an area with strong LTE coverage (which, I know means little), but that's just my luck, of course. I'm not complaining or anything.
3G Completed indicates the acceptance for the physical work in putting up antennas, rru's new coaxial / fiber cables from ground cabinet to RRU's, and that the equipment is powered up and capable. Depending on backhaul capability, they may hook up legacy T1 backhaul while waiting for upgraded backhaul. The only 100% confirmation that upgraded backhaul is in place is if the site is 4G accepted as 4G will only be accepted with upgraded backhaul.

I doubt that Samsung or Sprint will release a tri-band GS4 in the fall as that would easily cannibalize GN3 sales as that's the typical time frame for a new GN3. It shouldn't take too much to modify a GS4 for tri-band / dual mode operations as Samsung already has experience with TDD-LTE in their China Mobile TDD-LTE GS3.
Might get surprised by a late summer refresh. Probably similar to how T-mobile has a GS4 HSPA+ variant and then a later LTE variant.

Might want to head over to the UCV thread
http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3476-network-visionlte-upper-central-valley-market-sacramento-stockton-redding-eureka-renolake-tahoe/
and my permit thread for info.
http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3724-upper-central-valley-market-network-vision-permits/
I only recently figured out Manteca, Tracy, and Modesto but nil on stockton. Another member also lives works in stockton / lodi area and I've given him instructions on how to physically find Stockton permits if you want to check my permit thread.
