Saw this on Engadget. Favorite comment? "Good. Screw you Verizon. You don't get to be a duopoly with AT&T without regulations."

Did AJ write that comment?

Please anyone can give me a bit of insight on the nfc transferring....but between a gs3 and an EVO LTE....

What specifically? That is pretty vague.

I also took some pictures with my Black Friday sale point and shoot. Hopefully the 5x optical zoom yields slightly better pics. If they are decent I will post them later.

We have a live one! 86th and Westfield Blvd. The site at North Central High School.

Going to grab pics in a bit.

Anyone spotted anything in the west of "West Michigan"? I was really hoping Grand Haven/Muskegon would get some Sprint love since Verizon has had LTE here for nearly a year. I haven't seen a thing in my travels.

Where Verizon has LTE coverage will have zero effect on when Sprint will upgrade an area to LTE.

I don't think 62 degrees was bad for a Dec. 1st day. 66 tomorrow.

I am not complaining.

Time for a developer to make a rom... how about just OMG! for the icon?

I am actually thinking about doing this in whatever I put together for my GS3.

We will never get that kind of range out of a PCS LTE site in Northern New Mexico. So there are a few advantages to living in Indiana, after all.

Completely counter balanced by the stupid cold weather. Advantage gone.

I retract my prior statements. it does look like I am getting my Sweet Sweet LTE from the I70 Tower. I mapped from that tower to my home and did not drop 4g the entire time. that I70 tower is a large Boomer so it could possibly in fact reach me about 13 miles away. it is all farmland out there so there is Very little interference between me and that tower. Now i just need to sit back and wait for the 3 other towers near me to light up with LTE for better speeds.

 

That i70 tower when about 100 yards away I was getting 30 meg down and 10 meg up. I got 9mb down and 5mb up at my home this morning.

 

Thank you all for setting me straight

That is a while lot of distance to cover.

I was trying to add to your neighborhood today.

With my shiny new GS3 I can get LTE in more areas in my neighborhood, but they are basically unusable. I can get usable download speeds but will fail on uploads. I have not mapped them yet because they are really just distant signals from other towers. That dark purple is just a glitch with Sensorly. It is not that strong if a signal.

If I become a sponsor, what really are the benefits? Is there really a difference? Also, would I have to keep making payments to stay in the program? Thanks

The answer to your inquiry is here

Yes, I have been there, problem is, there is no way any of the towers listed on that map can reach me. there is a missing tower on that map that is feeding me my sweet sweet LTE. The closest tower to me on that map is over 10 miles away

 

The tower i listed above 5009, is only about 3.5 miles away from me. I was pretty sure that was the one but now not so much

The one 70 could reach you. It's only 5 or 6 mi miles away. It could reach in the wide open area. There are basically 0 obstacles to interfere with the signal. Also given the location and lack of population on that area it would be in Sprints best interests to set it up to cover a large geographical area.

Looks like a new site went live by Morse Reservoir

I just activated my S3 last night and ever since I keep losing data connection, it will just drop. When I do have data 80% of the time it will be 1x, 20% it will be EvDo. Right now my preferred network mode is CDMA, if I change it to LTE/CDMA my data will drop more frequently. My EVO 3D liked to go from 3G to 1X but it never dropped the data connection, what's going on with the S3?

I would redo the hands free activation. That is not normal.

Agreed, I should have opted to pick up at a Sprint store like I did with my gf's Note II. I called Sprint to see if I could pick it up instead of having it shipped but they said they can't change the order because it's already processing. I still don't know why I asked to have it shipped.

I didn't see an option for in store pick up.

I was doing some decompiling and digging through some code on the Note2 and found some interesting things.

 

##UPDATE# - updates profile, updates PRL, and updates firmware all in one swoop.

##367738# - DNSSET - not sure what this does, as it just blanks out the dialer numbers like nothing happened

3215987123580 - very interesting one. The pattern is kinda neat as you dial. The menu is weird to navigate but lots of interesting tid bits in here about LTE, CDMA, UMTS, etc. You are on your own with this one as some items look like it could change config options.

*#*#3215987123580#*#* - same thing

##3424# - seen this one in the past for using QPST

##786# - same from previous Sprint phones for resetting your phone

##4772579# - haven't tried this one but labelled as GPSCLRX

##564# - LOG menu

##66236# - OMADM - MSL required to enable or disable DM logging

##66264# - OMANI says updating profile but fails

##72786# - SCRTN - think this one wipes all data and programming information

##889# - labelled as TTY, didn't try it

##25327# - labelled as CLEAR and I was too chicken to try it

 

Don't think these work as the code looks like it falls out of the IF statement, report back if you find something:

**583 - LTEMODE

**7838 - STEALTHMODE

**673 - MRD

##737425# - SERIALSET

##2627# - com.android.samsung.rmt_exercise

##8378# - TEST

##372# - DSA

*#22745927 - HIDDENMENUENABLE

 

Still doing some digging around in some of the inner workings of this phone.

I will try these on the GS3 when it gets here Monday (I hope).

I got mine through the Sprint website. I am not a very patient person. The wait for shipping is killing me. Went ahead and picked up the free extended battery for what will soon be my wife's Galaxy Nexus...
