  1. Trust me Nathanfish86 as it is worth the wait for 8T8R Nokia baseband equipment to deploy in your area. I was seeing only marginal LTE speeds and getting around 5-8 Mbps was considered awesome where I live. Then when they started deploying the 8T8R equipment then I average around 20-30 Mbps downlink on my Nexus 5 and is only getting a Nokia equipment tower that is almost 5 blocks away from me! It will come with due time. There are a lot of factors to achieving those speeds! I went to Omaha last week and it was only LTE B25 where I went and you can feel the constraints but I know Dkoellerwx is working hard (seriously mad props amigo!) on mapping and identifying more LTE 41 8T8R sites and plotting them on the maps!
  2. Hey there! I'm near the K7 & Prairie Star Parkway aka 95th Street and I am not seeing the B41 yet but I have noticed my B25 signal went from full bars to about 50% and sometimes almost no bars. I am getting a 04D GCI off of Signalcheck app. Let me know and I can help you get some readings.
  3. I believe Lollipop doesn't support the Sprint WiFi calling feature set yet but I hope the Nexus line of phones support it sometime in the horizon. I know there's been times I get decent WiFi but not good CDMA or LTE signal and that feature would have come in handy.
  4. You can always do a phone that's got WiFi calling in it! I got an inexpensive HTC handset that had WiFi calling and it makes a world of difference especially in a marginal area. This is the best deal with unlimited data from any carrier in my opinion.
  5. I'm thinking it is not going to be released under the current Motorola X, 2nd generation moniker and perhaps a new naming just for Sprint. I'm thinking a person handling customer care Twitter account probably doesn't care, have this type of knowledge, or isn't a reader of S4gru.com! Lol!
  6. This is what uneducated folks and why not everything read on the Internet is true! "This cannot be! It was on the Internet!" Lol! http://www.phonearena.com/news/Motorola-Sprint-customers-should-call-our-new-phone-the-Moto-Ex_id60831
  7. There is no other Wireless ISP/terrestrial ISP that will allow you that type of usage for those MRCs. If so then please do let me know!
  8. Well that bites! I sure did like those views of the beautiful mountains and scenery I saw in the pics a while back. I hope you are not freezing too badly up there because it was 1 degree when I drove the car out of the garage. Patrick
  9. Now you can't be dashing the poor man's hopes and dreams now! Lol! I was trying to brighten his day out there! P.S. This is $hIT my Asian Mom would say! Ha ha!
  10. Robert the LTE is creeping closer to your corner of the woods since it launched in Yuma, AZ! Before long you will be telling us of your stories where long long time ago you had this ancient technology called EVDO, ha ha!
  11. This is awesome! Do you know roughly know where you got the band 41 connection? If you're using Windows Vista or higher then you can use the snipping tool (search for it in the search bar underneath the all programs) and yuan take a snippet of what's on your screen and bam! You can then post it here.
  12. I would say a hosting deal is in the works because DISH just got thwarted on their upcoming 1900 H block deal that analysts were believing DISH was going to be the only suitor after Sprint and T-mo announced they were bailing. As a result, I am guessing DISH just realized the timeline just got shorter to implement their current spectrum portfolio! Patrick
  13. You beat me to the punch on the posting. I am not sure how this relationship will work out hopefully well for both parties!
  14. Official announcement of the Spark version of the S4: http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=11238
  15. I am experiencing this in Lawrence area. My folks live in an area that had 4G LTE and bounced on an in progress tower on the KU campus. Then all of a sudden LTE disappeared and I am patiently awaiting for it to come back as well. Right now the whole network regardless of area is a work in progress! Although I do understand and feel your pain! Patrick
  16. This happens a lot to me when I'm traveling on 435 between State Line Road and heading west. Where the call quality isn't the best and either I call the buddy back or drop and redial then the audio quality is crystal clear. There's a new dead zone when I head north or south on State Line Road at roughly the 95th & State Line intersection.
  17. I would agree as my EVO 4G LTE kept dropping in areas where the 800 was live. Then all of a sudden the drops stopped occuring so I am guessing it is due to what you mentioned. Thanks for the info!
  18. Although as of last Thursday/Friday now I am getting rock star signal (both LTE and voice) on my EVO 4G LTE. Which building does she work out of? I know the signals in this area are hit and miss at times. Now I generally get a drop zone once I go northbound on State Line Road and hit the 95th Street and State Line Road hill. Grr!! But this is the price we pay for improvement then I am all in baby! Have a great night. Patrick
  19. Hey there! Sorry for the delay but the week your girlfriend was having issues there was a tower either being worked on or down because where I got full bars and LTE it was roaming for a day or so. I bounce off of the tower on 78th and State Line by the McDonald's on the corner of 79th & State Line (but not the newly built "stealth" tree looking tower). It is the tower across the street near the suite of offices in the beige/light colored building. I hope this helps you out! Patrick Wong
  20. CEO Dan Hesse talks very high level about "phase two" of network vision. http://www.wirelessweek.com/news/2013/08/sprint-revealing-phase-two-network-vision-soon Enjoy the reading! Here is the more in depth article from the Barron's site from the above paraphrased article from WirelessWeek: http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2013/08/27/as-sprint-cuts-jobs-can-it-eclipse-verizon/2/ Patrick
  21. I am not sure if this is the right topic to put this under and I am sure I will be banished from the forums! But I wanted to throw out there if anyone has this issur or not. I am having tower handoff issues on the newly marked green dots (3G/800/4G) towers only as I drive along K10 to Lawrence from KC. I keep dropping calls all the time and at the one spot off of I-70 (3G/800/4G tower only) as well a.k.a the "Chicago effect" (my personally coined term) ha ha. I also get a ton of dropped calls while driving around in Lawrence area. Is anyone else experiencing this as well? I have the EVO LTE.
  22. Same here. I ordered mine a few days ago and had to pop them a question on Facebook to get shipping progress. They are slow to get them out.
