Found the source of my faint LTE signal. Looks like 146th and River Rd. I laid down some new tracks on Allisonville and on River Rd.

And a few speedtests while heading north on River Rd

I think he was implying LTE he picked up from another tower with the speeds. Then a tower near his work which is in the process of being upgraded.

OK, I wasn't sure. The bottom 2 pics weren't showing on tapatalk at the time.

Well. Theres Sprint tower by the hospital and well. They are finally working on 4G .

The 4G isn't activated yet. But I know entering downtown these are the speeds I got:

 

 

 

4g has to be active, 3g is not capable of those speeds.

If you got a new S3 recently did it come with Jellybean? A friend is thinking of getting one tomorrow and asked me if the come with it.

In the past with other phones I have bought it almost always prompts for the ota right after activation.

Pulled the trigger and bought the GS3 this morning on Sprint.com. $49 and didn't have to deal with Black Friday crowds. Now I wait...

What's this? This is me pulling up in front of my house tonight. The speed definitely didn't match what Sensorly is showing related to signal strength. All I know is it isn't coming from "my" tower across the street. I guess I will be spending part of my Thanksgiving mapping my neighborhood.

Robert, you are without a doubt the hardest working man in 4G... I know one of the things I am thankful for this year is I am thankful that I have this community to increase my knowledge and have stimulating conversations, with a little humor mixed in also...

 

Thank you Robert, for putting this community together and all the countless hours you put into the site, thanks to the sources who take risks to provide the information for which we thirst, thanks to the staff for the many hours they volunteer, thanks to the sponsors for "keeping the lights on" and thank you to everyone who adds to the community. This is a website and group of people that I am definitely proud to be a member.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Well that saves me a lot of typing.

I'm going to be doing LTE testing on Thanksgiving weekend on all my LTE devices, including the Note 2. Wichita Falls or bust!

When can we expect the article on the new testing?

I kid, I kid!

First post with the Victory. This is an awesome little device. It is heads and shoulders better than the Viper. I am impressed.

 

Robert via Samsung Victory LTE on Tapatalk

I have been debating whether to get this or the Viper for my daughter. It would be a used one (I get all upgrades!). In your opinion it seems like no contest.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Even better.

 

That is the Wimax 4g icon.

HAHA! Thats all it took? Someone to get LTE over you? That's funny.

No, I have been going back and forth between the Note 2 and the GS3. With the sales on black Friday my decision was made for me.

Question? The Jelly Bean update pushed to my phone but I am scared to install due to the horror I had with the GS2 to ICS, so has anyone done the update?

Which device?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

GS3

I will be joining the GS3 club on black Friday.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

That would be me. I picked it up over the weekend as I headed south to Ben and Ari's. on my way back I picked it up and drove out past Best Buy and around the round abouts back towards Home Depot. Then south on 37 until I picked it up again and then turned down pleasant street and headed back towards the square before heading home.

What phone?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

OK so I had actually gotten to where I was using Wallet regularly on my EVOLTE. Where is Wallet on the Note!?! this is a huge disappointment. I am already missing Wallet. Doesn't the GS3 have Wallet installed?

 

The GS3 does have wallet installed (at least for Sprint). The other carriers (but why would those on other carriers be on this forum?) may still be subject to carrier blocking of Wallet

 

If the note has NFC just download wallet from the play store

Here is the latest apk for wallet if for some reason it is blocked on the Note 2

1st, which one of you is cruising my neighborhood getting LTE?

2nd, what device are you using, I am not getting squat on my Galaxy Nexus.

I feel like a big slacker knowing that someone else is mapping LTE in my backyard.

I know that it is not coming from the tower in my neighborhood. I have a feeling which site it is coming from, but haven't had the time to check it out.

 

That's hard for me to imagine with how spotty Tmo FauxG is in my area. Tmo is not colocated on my site next to my house. Nearest Tmo site is 6 miles away and EDGE only. The closest HSPA+ site is 12 miles away and there are hills between us. I pretty much will only have Tmo "4G" if I am in town in Española or in Santa Fe/ABQ.

 

Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

I was more mocking every LTE story on other tech sites where all the Tmo people flood the comments with stuff about LTE being overrated.

Sent from a phone using an app. That is fancy!

I ordered the phone from Google. Should be here Thursday. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. I was only speaking about activating the SIM card.

 

One thing I was kind of blown away by the Tmo store was how it focused on a brand experience. I felt like I was in a trendy place and Tmo was the coolest club in town. You felt immersed in the brand everywhere, from the lighting to the displays. It was like I walked into a Tmo smartphone. It seemed like Carly was going to pop out of the back at any moment and everyone was going to cheer her and a round of drinks were on the house. Music would start pumping and the disco ball would drop from the ceiling.

 

Nothing like going to a Sprint store at all. Sprint stores are boring vanilla and very corporate feeling. I assumed all wireless carriers were that way. The Tmo store set up doesn't really appeal to me, but I can see why it would to so many. It definitely is more "cool."

 

Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

Next up, Robert starts posting how HSPA± is just as fast if not faster than LTE. Not to mention how great HSPA+ is on battery life. Posts about how LTE is overrated and not necessary.

You could post your question in the Sponsor forum.

 

Interesting since the site has legacy hardware and no 4G.

 

Also since you edited my post will Robert see my original message?

 

Not that I dont believe you but nothing has changed on that site.

I didn't ( can't) edit your post.

Hi Robert,

 

On the completed list of sites for Indianapolis this site **********, shows that it was 4G completed.

 

I have been watching this site for a while and nothing has changed on it, there are no new panels, ruu nothing.

 

Was this confirmed by a user or by Sprint?

 

Thank You.
