I've had the impression that their current technology in regards to the cellular equipment that they deploy is a bit dated compared to the competition. I'm sure that doesn't help. The tech industry is fast paced and if you aren't at the forefront, then you are left behind and quickly irrelevant.

So is NV equipment dated then?

11/01/2012 is my first documented ticket on the current issue for the site.  It's still broke as of today.  Between me and another member we've probably opened about 30-40 tickets this year on the site.  They let my co-worker out of his contract with his brand new 5 lines and phones scott free over the site.  I've gotten probably $300+ in credits over the site.  Opened another ticket today to start the process for more credits and cover my butt for going over my 300meg roaming due to this site.  Seems like it would be easier to fix and provide the customers in the downtown area with a working data connection. 

what's going on with this site? The site that I use when I'm at my office has had a bad echo for 8 months now , I have called many many times and have gotten a few cedits, and many promises that it will be repaired soon but no fix yet. the kicker is my office is a sprint connect line. This site has LTE but stops 200 yards before my office driveway.

LTE coverage stops about 300 yards from my house. This sucks. And its my luck that this would happen I have been waiting for LTE and looks like I want get it on LTE 1900 . Guess I will have to wait on a tri band device and LTE 800, or I might need to move red pastures. LOL

I have lots of sites with bad echoes during voice calls.

I have had a message during outgoing call from Boost mobile saying your call is able to be placed at this time, and happens when try to use data too? I called sprint but nothing has been done yet

Rim/htc.  lol

This has been discussed at length in this thread.  Just search, but you will want your MSL so that you can change your LTE scan timer.

Did this help your device? I searched for MSL and found nothing.

Was there ever a fix to the LTE issue on the EVO?  LTE service is starting to pop up around me and my device want connect to it unless I airplane mode it.  My wife's Samsung s3 picks up LTE with out any problems.   Any thoughts?  Thanks! 

I guess my first step would be to use an different messaging app that has the option to automatically break messages, set it as the default messaging app, and see what happens.Also, what phone did you have on Verizon? I know iPhones like to send the full message text as one regardless of who they're sending too... I've had issues with that getting messages from my AT&T friends. It just comes through in the wrong order sometimes when their iPhone is acting funny.

I have the problem of , all long mesg. Coming in in random order too. This happens on my HTC LTE and my wifes gs3 too., we both noticed this starting about 2 months ago. I also often don't get all long text mesg parts until hour later. Sprint blamed it on NV.

Got LTE at cheerdale!

Have had no voice services and no data at cherrydale for now over a week and no data at Furman for 4 days.     

Love to see LTE coming to Greenville!  I really am wishing for 800 CDMA service too.

Backhaul please!

Well i rode by the tower behind hamricks on white horse in berea while i was tuning my car and it looked like there were some antennas laying against the fence, Didn't have time to look had to mess with my car running the way it was i had to nurse it home but hope its sprint upgrading stuff.

that site has Benn finished for 2 months. Those are Sprints old antennas, been laying there for a few months.

I live off Cedar Lane rd and i get a ping of 538 ms a download of 0.46mbps and a upload of the same. Also i work at the O'reillys in berea and i get even worse signal in there. i hope they get it up soon. I might go down the motor mile to get another phone, if he comes down on the price but the network is improving slowly but surely it is;

in northern tr my evdo speeds doubled. In the city of tr speed are the same no backhaul is in place yet on eather sitesyet. AT&T is installing backhaul I'm guessing. Please correct me if I'm wrong about the backhaul

Still nothing to report in the Brera area so far.

 

I'm willing to say the the site at hamrick will have LTE very soon. That tower has fast evdo speeds so thinking backhaul might be in place.

Well I goto school at GTC and it's even on everyday I goto school so, I'm sure they might have been working on it and it's still active.Do you have an IPhone?My buddy has one and that's also the way we goto work and sometimes his iPhone won't pick it up and my s3 will

nope, I have HTC EVO. The worse Sprint device for LTE, but my phones 4g worked fine during work travels. I airplane mode my device many times while I was down that way. You are right they turn off to update something on the site.

No LTE last night at Greenville tech area. Must have just been testing this area.

I know that Dallas is under deployment. Its just not being launched on the first day. This is not the end.Robert from Note 2 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

where would I find the map or link for the cities that are getting TD LTE first or one of the 1st round markets? I'm sure Greenville SC not a 1st round markeT LOL

 

There's also a patch near Haywood Mall. And it's very fast, check my speed test a few posts above.

Love to see this!  I will get to have some Greenville LTE tonight.  I have a thing to go to at the Irish Pup that is sitting in a hot bed of LTE.  Hopefully the LTE network will grow some more in the coming weeks.  A employee of mine said he is getting LTE off Rutherford near downtown.  I will try to show him how to map this.

I rode around more today, checking to see if anything new.... nope. Anyone over near cherrydale have any?

none at cherrydale as of today.  In Greer I had no data for the most part of the day today, and the 4g tower in Lyman/Duncan had no 4g and slow CDMA data   Hopefully thing will progress in the upstate.

You guys need to send those crews down to Columbia.The capital city needs some LTE love too.Stuck on the Poor Man's HTC for now.

we are keeping them! LOL

How can I tell if my LTE EVO is picking up a 800 signal? I have the signalcheck lite app will this tell me?

I burried my old HTC EVO (WIMAX)  in a 20 + plus deep pit we had dug out on a job to bury rocks.  When I figered out I missplaced it was after the hole was covered, packed and finished.  I called it to see if it was still on or went to voice mail right away, which would indicate it was crushed and not worth my time to find it.  I opened the hole back up and hour later after sifting through rock and dirt I found it with just a broken Otter Box case and a cracked screen still on and working.  

So why would someone pay insurance when they can not use it in the first place? Shouldn't have bought the phone in the first place if that was the case.I keep mine in an Otterbox and then self insure my devices and pay myself. If I break the device then I take that money that I am making interest on and buy a new device or pay for the repair.

Otterbox makes one of the best cases on the market with a lifetime warranty. I have used them since I got my first smart phone so I dropped my insurance too after I found out a good case means everything to the life of a device. I work outdoors a lot in the dust and dirt and I can take my year old EVO LTE out of the case and it still looks new.
