  1. I would just have a beer and be patient. This is not the WIMAX rollout that started and then stopped permanantly.. Every cell site in the market will be upgraded. Every transceiver at every cell site is going to be replaced. Every antenna array is going to be replaced. It's going to take some time.. When it's done, it's done.. If it's not anywhere near you now, it eventually will be. If you think waiting for LTE/NV is bad, try waiting for Sprint to announce when they're going to sell the Galaxy S4 and you have a Galaxy S2 that you want to upgrade badly..
  2. Your experience is the exact reason why I will never buy a HTC manufactured cell phone.
  3. The site at 696 and 75 is on the Southeast side of the exchange at 10 mile and Palmer Blvd. From the limited data on Sensorly, it would appear that this site is broadcasting but since it is not finished yet, it may be going up and down. FYI, for those that have driven past it and got nothing.
  4. Samsung has already said that as soon as 5.0 is agailable that the GS4 will be updated. Rumor also is that the next Nexus 7 will ship with it.
  5. Have fun, be safe.. Rest up..
  6. Also, looking at Sensorly.. It does appear that site at 696 and 75 is up and running now too.. Someone needs to do some mapping in Ferndale. I would if I had a phone that was capable of receiving LTE. (May can't come quickly enough)
  7. Not talking about the local ISP, that may or may not monitor/log your traffic but your ISP's ISP.. The CIA has it's hand in everything!
  8. You're being watched every day all the time, by humans.. When you're in public, when you're at work. When you go to an airport, board a plane, go through the security checkpoint. Your ISP knows when you come to this website or if you go to any other website. Still concerned about your phone? I'll be the first to say that I don' t know how it's doing it but the machine may not even be using the camera for these gestures, it may just have a sensitive touch screen. It's the least of my worries in this day and age.
  9. That's because it's not in process. It's done. It's already broadcasting LTE. Check Sensorly.
  10. Rumor is there were overheating issues..
  11. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong but there's a number of things that need to be at the site in order for it to be upgraded. Equipment, backhaul (connection to the network) and manpower.. Most of the time, the permits were applied for and granted a while back. Edit: I saw that the post had already been replied to after I had already entered it.
  12. They go where the site is ready.. Just because they're in Chesterfield now, doen't mean they'll stay in Chesterfield.. That crew working on that tower could go to Tawas next if the cell site there is ready to be installed.
  13. 2. They get converted when they get converted, there's no set period of time. 3. I believe 2015 was the time period when it would be switched off. The LTE deployement is the real deal. I didn't buy a LTE phone either, only because I'm waiting for the rollout. But I will be buying the S4 when it comes out.
  14. You can't connect to it, so you call it blocked, I'll call it off, it's still not able to be used so for all intents and purposes, it's off.
  15. It probably was not on when you were in the area. When they aren't working on the site it is likely turned off. You would need to be there during the day when the contractors are working to see the signal most likely. That's what has been happening in other markets.
