    I was able to pull 20+mbps with similar signal strength back in early December during lunch time , at very nearly the same location (1 block north, 1 block west), I didn't remember the base station ID but since its like 0.1 or 0.2 miles away only I think I'm most likely on the sam ebase station. I would think Lunch time in Chicago loop is more "peak" then dinner time. Yes I confirmed i was on B41 by looking at the LTE engineering screen ##33284# I was wondering if the additional Spark devices brought by Sprint customer since December have already started degrading B41...?

    I should have been more clear. I was getting 6-10mbps on B41 last evening about 7pm while I was sitting inside a restaurant call Siam Rice on Wells, windows seat to get the -85 to -95 db RSRP I was still on B41 while inside the Cadillac palace theater, balcony near the top, but I did not do a speed test there, and I think the signal was fairly weak. However, I was also near the same area back in Dec (lunch time) and I was able to get 20mbps with even weaker signal strength

    Any news regarding 800 LTE for the Chicago market yet? I was in theater district last night and was only pulling 6-10mbps on Band 41 even with -85 to -95db RSRP on my one max

    don't have that problem here

    a bit disappointed, was in springfield for a business trip and still no LTE, had LTE most of the way from Chicago to Springfield on I-55 but not within Springfield proper

    I believe 3G/800 is basically 1900/800

    If the MAX is better than the EVO LTE, but the max is not as good as the S4 (band 25) I shudder to think how bad the EVO LTE is...... seem the S4 have similar if not better performance than the Mega, i regularly see 5-7db better SNR on my wife's S4 side by side to my MAX
  8. bitslizer
    no, mine switch between 3G and LTE by itself, may not always be quick but it does get back to 4G LTE.

    Any idea how to do that on a HTC One max?
  10. bitslizer
    Which app is that? do you have a link please?

    I have it confirmed with a Sprint Rep for existing sprint customers on different accounts and want to join the new Framily plan, they can do a "change of owenrship" to merge the accounts of course, only do this with someone you trust to pay their bills. https://community.sprint.com/baw/message/709058#709058

    I have 2 comments/question 1) Can we do a "change of ownership" in order to merge multiple existing accounts into 1 account to qualify for the Framily plan? http://support.sprint.com/support/article/Customer_Instructions_for_Change_of_Ownership/2a4c5654-b645-4613-8262-a689a275e885 2) The Employee discount, i read that its apply on the data upgrade portion only, my question would be has anyone been able to confirm if its only apply on the FIRST line like it is currently, or is the employee discount applied to ALL lines with data upgrade

    Will help for sure, but not as well as on land i don't think, i remember reading that the water vapor/moisture really degrade the signal much faster than over dry land

    I should note that my experience is with the HTC One max, which reception is not as good as the Galaxy S4 on B25, and I heard people say the N5 is even better.
  15. bitslizer
    In my experience so far, even if B41 is by you, you aren't likely to pick up a B41 signal in a building unless you are by a window or the tower is right next to your building

    has anyone confirm 800mhz LTE for Chicago loop area?
  17. bitslizer
    Have you consider the galaxy Mega? the hardware spec not as nice as the one max, but it does have a big screen, not sure about the RF (I have not research it)
  18. bitslizer
    page 92, post 1826, the link should be direct to that post, talking about using modded PRL to set the band priority

    Just came across this http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2358-everything-800mhz-1xa-lte-coverage-timeline-etc/page-92&do=findComment&comment=250261

    My personal impression is the RF for LTE is not as good as the Galaxy S4, I remember looking at the LTE side by side and the RSRP is 5-10dbm worse than the S4 a couple post above zodiac say he feel it is better than the Galaxy S3

    Any decent one that can push out at least 2 amps should work fine, be aware that if you are using detachable USB cable type, you need a high quality cable (real OEM for example). I was using some generic cable yesterday on a road trip with a new charger and it could not keep up with me using Waze for GPS... draining the battery at a rate of about -500ma even plugged into the charger. After I got home and before I head out to dinner I grabbed my trusty HP Touch pad's cable which I know for sure is capable of delivering high current, plugged back into the same charger and I was getting +500ma when using Waze.

    I would like to know as well, I would set mine to 2500, 800, 1900 in order of preference, 1900 is too bz in my area
  23. bitslizer
    You need to hit a Corporate Sprint store, online with HTC (they have a $100 Best buy gift card promo) or buy it ONLINE with best buy, Best Buy's brick and mortar don't carry the phone

    Which screen/value are you guys getting the snr from? I don't see it in the engineering screen unless it's the rsrq?
  25. bitslizer
    No, my original post that was being referred to clearly stated that I was on lte 1900 / band 25, I confirmed that with the engineering screen. I was very surprised myself
