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.

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.

Tabasco, is good but Franks Red Hot or a new sauce I found called Cackalacky, its a sweet potato based hot sauce that gives a better taste after slow cooking. We need to start a thread about food and cooking LOL!

Anyone else having delayed outgoing calls in Greenville? The counter gets to 15 seconds or more before the call goes through.

I'm seeing lots of progress being made in Greenville. Yesterday alone I saw 4 different sites getting new panels put on.

What word did you use a few months ago when i asked about the clicking and popping in your car speakers duing a call or direct connect with Nextel or iden, and older gsm? I tried to look it up but could not find it.

Robert, Does Sprint leave legecy equiment in place and running in some or all cases after the NV equiment is installed, and accepte? I keep getting a lot of back and forth with this, so sorry for a repeated question. If NV equiment is live, can, and does it run on backhaul other than fiber, like T1s? i'm guessing yes to this question after reading different post. If it does run on other backhaul other than fiber is this the reason in NV complete areas data speeds are still the same speed before NV.

I must have missed this? I would have tried to set him straight. Do you have chick fil a in New mexico? Bojangles makes some mean spicy chicken too. If you are ever in the south east need to try.

large stores such as Walmart will repeaters inside the store to boost the signal, which will increase your data speeds too. Your friend must work/live in a brick or metal building too because the cherrydale area has quite a few towers around which non but one has been updated to NV equipment. Metal building are a pain when in come to cell service but when Sprint finishes NV which includes LTE and full build sites in this case they will be using a 800mhz signal that works better inside a structure. Your friend needs to call Sprint and request a airwave that will solve a lot of no to low signal problems. How long have you not had signal at her house? Could be related to the NV up grades that are going on. Does she live off state park rd?

the tower that you were on was across from Applebees beside the mini storage buildings. This site still has legacy equipment on it . Were you inside Walmart when you got these speeds?? Where do you work at? 85% or more of Greenville county has coverage. The areas that lack coverage is northern parts of Greenville areas such as table rock, Marietta areas.

Thanks for the update! I'm guessing I may need to upgrade as well since my visual Voicemail updated, a few month back and seems to not work that well now. Do you have a more compleat LTE build out yet? and if so did it help your LTE connection? Another question .... When open your bookmarks does your device refresh them as look for the marked page you want to open?

This started the past few months for.me Also, I have a home office and use my cell for the most part. A trouble ticket was filed and nothing got better yet. Haven't been offered a airave device yet, but I'm not sure it I can even use it due to having Verizon 4g LTE home fusion internet service, does anyone know if it wound work?

When all this takes place, how does it currently compare to the big two?

Yes and no, NV equiment may be in place on some of these, but backhaul is a issue on a lot of these sites. Some updates fromthe Sprint is showing older Legacy equiment that is still being updated even that it maybe getting replaced very soon. The only site I found that is running high ( 1.5 to 1.8) MBPS is a site on hwy 25 in Berea behind Hamricks. One site in Travelers Rest that has NV equiment installed is still running at .02 to .25mbps range. Look into becoming a sponsor all you have to do is have a pay pal and gift a $1 or more and you can see a lot of maps that way more info than you are getting from Sprints website. This will give you 6 months of viewing and updates. It shows all of sprints sites. If you want to follow LTE time lines this is about the only way you will get info.

I was told the same but it almost the 18th and I'm still having the same problems up in he outer areas of travelers rest . Not sure how often you come to Tr , but the tower thats in the middle of town has had NV equipment for a month or more now without backhaul hooked up I'm guessing. When I'm downtown Tr speeds increased a little but it seems the signal distance decreased. Greenville will have LTE I bet by the end of spring in a few areas that already has the backhaul (fiber) to the sites, but backhaul instaqlling is going to take a while. I haven't seen any signs of fiber being ran around Greenville county I have even talked to a few locate guys on Job sites and they all said the same thing , they haven't done any marking to or around cell tower

Anyone else in Greenville sc having data / voice issues? In northern Greenville data has been slower and timing out a lot more than normal. I also have had outgoing call issues, which sends me to a Boost Mobile error message. When I dialed *2 it sent me to Boost Mobiles customer service. This has been going on with both of my Sprint devices. I do live in a "fair service area" which data is a bit slower but has worked for the most part in the past and voice drops a call ever now and then, but now its very hit and miss. I hope this clears up soon or I may have to get a pre- paid with another service provider to have a working phone.

Thanks to all the responses, I will try them and update you on what happens. Mike I haven't updated to jelly bean yet. Are all or most of the bug worked out? Does jelly bean help any toward the LTE issue? I don't have LTE yet but do pick up a signal a few miles away and have to do the airplane in and out mode to get pick up LTE. If the jelly bean update corrected this problem I will be updating as soon as Sprint turns LTE on in greenville.

I don't know much about this stuff, and didn't know if a screen shot would help. I do know I was roaming with Verizon due to forgetting to add a area code before a call http://db.tt/gFCjEH92

let me know if this happens. A lot of those areas still show "in progress" for New vision 3g Acceptance. Become a spouncer and you can see what's going on.

I have had the same problem. I blow the slot out with computer air cleaner this works for me. Ever month or so I have to do this since I work in a dusty environment at times. Also a good otter box case helps keep dust and dirt out.

Sadly sprint reps. are very misinforming and are left in the dark by sprint about 4g service updates. I do think at times some reps say what you want hear. This location does not show anything on the maps to show progess toward new vision or LTE. I will tell you that S4GRU is the best place for infomation about lte timelines, and progress. I do think a higher up in sprint sould take notice of all the work that goes into this site to provide info that I personly think sprint should be providing for there customers. One time I went to the store on Woodruff rd, and a store rep told me that Greenville will not be getting LTE for a few years, but then went on to say that wimax 4g was being expanded into Greenville before LTE, I expressed my doubt with him! This was about 5 months ago.

Anything new going on in the upstate SC? Seems like a lot started and was 3g accepted, now no to very few updates for the past month or so.

Dutch language

"The other notable absence is SVDO support for simultaneous CDMA1X voice + EV-DO data, though its omission is growing less and less notable as time goes on. SVDO requires separate RF paths for CDMA1X and EV-DO. The first few Sprint LTE handsets did support SVDO, utilizing separate paths for CDMA1X and EV-DO/LTE. But the last nine Sprint LTE handsets have foregone SVDO, combining CDMA1X/EV-DO on a single path, so SVDO was likely just a temporary measure or a fringe benefit of the Qualcomm MSM8960 chipset and will not be a common Sprint handset feature going forward." AJ, I'm I reading this correctly, no voice and data at the same time? Why would sprint or Qualcomm pull away from this?
