    I think the Admins would require the comments would be G-rated. Easier on the eyes and ears. Also, a bit cleaner language would be a bit more professional, too. Still, I appreciate the technical know-how this site provides.

    Don't worry. I run my fair share of Signal Checks and Sensorly Maps and Speedtests. And yes wireless nerd is possibly an apt description. I'm always on the lookout for where the next Band 26 and Band 41 deployments will be. I guess all I'm saying is that if a network would be denser I wouldn't check near as often, because it would always be there. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    For example Verizon had the "Can you hear me now campaign?" with their test man. I am wondering if T-mobile and Sprint subscribers do more network testing than say AT&T and Verizon customers.Are we just a more loyal bunch? Or do we like the challenge of "assisting" the engineers with their jobs. Sometimes all the mapping & Signal Checking makes me feel like an armchair quarterback. A true wireless network should theoretically be ubiqitous. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    Some carriers test their own networks, not sure why we bother testing Sprint's network for them. I guess it is a way for subscribers to participate in the 4G rollout.

    We do the Skechers outlet in Tanger, but won't get there again till I wear my shoes through. Was there in the middle of July and had great LTE speeds.

    Well right now their plans and phones cost more than Sprint and their contract buyout takes 8 weeks to get processed and their website is extremely antiquated once you login to your account. I wonder if they are going to do a aggressive version of Cut Your Bill in Half -like you GO into the store, they take all your phones, give you the GIft Card on the spot and reduce your plan by 30%. Also, Sprint's Customer Service is better too. T-mobile doesn't work with you nearly as much.

    Instead of Antennagate we will have Towergate..... Apple has thoroughly tested their MVNO Network Towers but due to public outcry we will send you a free plastic bumpercase.

    Definitely a Shentel billboard in Harrisburg. Maybe simple is good? "Tower" and "Power" Rhyme and convey a clear simple message. First page http://unlimityourdata.com/. Second Page a map of Shentel territory. http://unlimityourdata.com/coverage/

    Great speeds there in Lancaster City and glad to see CA as well. Just some of that speed goodness to creep up north. I will test next time I get through there. I got 16mbs down near Hershey Harrisburg and picked up 800mhz in Bainbridge in sight of TMI. I think Harrisburg must be Shentel land as well. Even saw a very nice corny Shentel billboard saying "Sprint- the Power of our Towers". I do admire their efforts to market the network to consumers. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    My Spark logo is looking pretty yummy...Wait! The 3G logo has more slices! No Mr. Pizza! Stop spinning Mr. Pizza! Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    IS this going to be a Firmware update, because LG says they won't be giving the G4 anymore updates for awhile. Not even getting the Stagefright fix so far.

    Sprint doesn't have volte yet Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk You are correct...I was kind of thinking hypothetically...like if Sprint had VolTE, would there be a range improvement... Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    Awesome speeds down there. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    I can actually make choppy sounding calls that drop often. I just couldn't figure out the reading. It seemed like a really bad signal level, but yet I could do stuff. LTE data must be a different animal. Any idea on how strong signal is necessary to carry a VolTE call? Also is the signal actually "weaker" than CDMA or is it just a different way of measuring it?

    Simple question.. How is it possible for me to surf the web on 107dbm of 1900LTE? That isn't even sufficient for a voice call. Yet I am getting some good web speeds? Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    Guys thanks for the the great site and the explanation!

    Just got a Walmart alert on my phone in the notification bar and it does look Spark, except it doesn't spin. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    Single Radio in my phone? I want 5 radios in my phone and a deep cycle marine battery on a cart behind me to power it all. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    Sprintusers.com appears to be a ghost-town. Any idea what happened?
  21. techfranz
    Okay, I am ok with better signal indicators, but I always liked the the fact that Sprints Signal actually meant something. Nextel Signals used to be so overly weighted positive. I remember when AT&T used like 3 extra bars in Rainbow colors to emphasize that they were raising the bar. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    Yes DBM and Signal Type on the Notification bar....look at me I have -65 dbm.... Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

    ...can't say they don't update your phone

    Any idea why they are retiring it? What kind of business decision would prompt a company to go from something unique to something normal?

    I liked the spinning Windmill as Son Called it. "In Japan we have the Spinning Windmill Everywhere." It's like if you fastened the center of the Pin Drop logo to a center-point and started a game of crack the Whip. Maybe this is a hopeful sign of GSM Roaming?
