  1. Do we know when they will turn them on? Is there an imminent formal launch? There are many areas in the City of Chicago where you get 4G one day and 3G on another. Not complaining given the amount of work that has been done, just would like to know. Thanks,
  2. I hear you. I have been pulling 3 down by the antenna on Milwaukee and California and some parts in East Lakeview. I thought LTE was supposed to be faster.
  3. I just heard that Sprint will start updating the S3 to JellyBean beginning tomorrow... Roll out should complete within a few weeks. : )
  4. They are probably blocking it, since I have cycled the device and been able to connect to 4G in other parts of the Chicago metro area.
  5. What about if a site has been shown as complete on the site maps for a few weeks, but it has yet to put out a 4G signal. How long after a site is shown as complete is it lit?
  6. That is a good point. Here's to hoping it continues as it has.
  7. Does that mean that an announcement is imminent?
  8. Are we still thinking that the official Chicago market launch will take place this month?
  9. I have a question regarding the time on the S3. I know that we have had problems with the phones reflecting Eastern Standard Time when picking up LTE signals. This this still be the case when I am connected on WIFI? For the past few weeks, I have at times seen that my phone shows Eastern Time when I am at home on my WIFI. I checked my router just in case, but it was set properly with Central Time. It didn't bother me that much, but this morning it came to head when my alarm went off an hour early... I got up took a shower and was almost done getting ready for work when I noticed I was up at 5 am. vs. 6 am. So, needless to say I turned off automatic time on my phone. After all that, my question is would the LTE towers still have been impacting my time even though I was on my home WIFI? Just wondering.
  10. What is weird about my phone is that there have been a number of times that my clock has changed to Eastern Time and the connection is still 3G. Why would that be?
  11. Why would that be that the signal doesn't reach ground level? I also noticed that in my building in the west loop. I am on the 5th floor and get intermitent 4G signal, but then I get outside and nothing. Thoughts?
  12. Also, is there anything else that needs to be done to be able to pick up the 4G LTE signal? I was actually walking by the 90/94 area which is highlighed on Sensorly as having 4G and it wouldn't pick it up, and my 3G was also very, very slow? I cycled through airplane mode, but nothing happened. Thoughts?
  13. So, technically the tower can transmit a LTE signal over a mile? Since it seems that the UIC tower seems to be over 1.5 miles from the Ohio exit on 90/94.
