    The roll out has not stop and will not stop till all cell sites are done and accepted for 3G/4G/3g 800/ & potentially 4G 800. Sprint is putting billions into their roll-out and has begun or will be beginning nearly every market in the coming months. You may not see improvement in your area but other areas may be being worked on concurrently while whatever is holding up the cell sites in your area is being fixed be it permits, backhaul, whatever. Sprint contractors will not just sit on a specific location waiting for stuff to come together. If another cell site in another part of the market is ready and a crew is available, the crew will head to that site. It's just that simple.

    2nd half 2013 will have dual mode GS4's.

    Here's from our resident XDA guru Digiblur who is the master of all things PRL. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880781

    No. Lower frequency (cellular 850, SMR 800, upper 700, lower 700) can propogate farther and penetrate further into materials thanks to its lower frequency. Thus it needs less cell sites to cover the same area that higher frequency (AWS/PCS/ etc) spectrum require. At the same time, lower frequency spectrum can only handle so much capacity before it degrades thanks to its spectrum characteristics. Just imagine it as a sine wave. Lower frequencies have a smaller amplitude while higher frequencies have larger amplitudes. At the same position where both lower frequency and higher frequency waves hits, the higher frequency wave will be able to transport more of whatever thanks to its larger amplitude compared to the lower frequency with the smaller amp. Basically -- Higher frequency = more cell sites per area but can be depended upon for capacity -- Lower frequency = less cell sites per area but provides greater coverage and penetration capabilities.

    Pretty sure you need at least 20Mhz of continuous spectrum to get the same performance of 10 mhz of FDD setup. As correct me if I'm wrong.

    If Robert was, and you'd be all banned for 7 days and this thread closed for eternity. =) Don't ask me how I know this xD

    Oi just caught ur mistake. Full name is alcatel-Lucent but we call it ALU or Alcalu round these parts. : You'll learn quick enough!
  10. lilotimz
    It's Alcalul or ALU =)

    Hmmm... two days ago... hmm.. today.. Interesting...

    Samsung. Huawei got stricken-ed off the list a while ago.

    On the bright side, at least it didn't overload the tower and you get 0 data going to or from the cell site. Some BRS TDD-LTE seems to be in order for gatherings like that.

    It got pretty bad month or two ago and mods had to shut it down a few times when they got out of line. It's quiet down nowadays but there's still occasional flairs. On the other websites though.. same old "i hope sprint fails" or "Sprint sucks! They haven't even upgraded my [insert city here] which is so much more important than [insert city here]". Guess t-mobiles getting a little dose of what we see non stop.
  15. lilotimz
    Sounds about right with the amount of T-mobile modernization sites I've seen coming through building permits in numerous development reports that I regularly check.
  16. lilotimz
    Remember this when making your choice. Tucson may have horrible sprint data now, at the end of april 2013, but permits for building applications at sprint sites are starting to pile up and deployment has somewhat began in the market. In the next 3 months, expect massive boosts of progress as every OEM races to begin all their remaining markets and finish those that they began. Tucson will definitely be upgraded. Both inside the city and out in the rural areas and even if it's GMO's, it'll still provide decent 3g speeds if upgraded backhaul is not available. On the other hand, t-mobile may provide temporary relieve now and possibly LTE in the coming day, their rural areas will still be neglected until at least sometime after 2015 after they're done working on their existing HSPA+ foot print. This means that the 2g edge areas will stay 2g for the duration of your contract whereas Sprint 3g will likely be acquiring new backhaul that'll massively improve speeds.

    Got to remember that these protection sites have the bare minimum necessities to even keep it running. Backhaul is probably insufficient and the entire cell site will probably need to be replaced. Probably better to keep them up and running till Sprint does network vision in that area and transfer the clearwire site to the network vision one.

    Stay on topic please and if you're interested in T-mobile then take it to private messages People, like me, actually follow topics and gets notifications when there's a new message...
  19. lilotimz
    Ahhh... you finally found your way from Hofo! I agree but it's also not a orange to orange comparison considering that Verizon isn't completely replacing everything at a cell site for their deployment like sprint is. Still, it is nothing to scoff at either considering the amount of money Sprint is making and has compared to verizon with regards to the extent of the work needed to be done. It'll be interesting to see how much Q2 spending will be with most, if not all, of sprints remaining markets beginning.

    ATT's "4G" is lies. Their HSPA+ implementation is 14.4mbps and is 3.5g at best (plain HSUPA 5.76mbps is 3g) and they updated the iphone to show "4g" because every android phone coming out was "4g". It's either 4G LTE or 3g EVDO for sprint and verizon. HSPA+ 14.4 or LTE for ATT and DC-HSPA 42+ or HSPA+21 + LTE for T-mobile.

    Two are immediatly to the east of Davis near the i80. One way south davis. The three are all physically slightly beyond the edge of Davis city and mainly covers farmland or shot down the highway but does cover tiny parts of Davis proper but it's nothing significant as they are set up for coverage and not capacity.

    Sprint GS4 will have removable sims. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6914/samsung-galaxy-s-4-review

    Visited several of the GMO's around Davis,CA while i was visiting my friends there and did some speed test near these sites. Couldn't get close enough to get physical pictures of the base stations (dirt roads on private property) but can see why Sprint opted to go the easy route with these cell sites compared to the ones inside Davis which are overloaded.
