missed opportunity

Talking with netmonitor support about app issues I was having, I found that their data comes from a Google database. He said that Google collects location data from Android devices via the location service and creates a DB of cell towers. The problem I've found is that the Google locations, in comparision to the great data that Robert has here, are down right terrible. Over a mile off in random directions, sometimes pointing you in the completely different directions.

In areas where Verizon already had coverage, I thought the FCC made them sell off towers. Maybe they got bought up by a mom & pop rural carrier

If the poster is that heavy of a user, he also probably uses the data pretty heavily. That 300MB roaming limit probably would hit him pretty quickly. Don't want to get a termination letter...

That I did not know, thanks for the info. I knew it was more than a software upgrade to go to LTE-A, but I didn't know that it was a base station replacement. Is that why Verizon gets hammered for their Release 8 LTE network and upgrading to LTE-A?

Stop being logical...

I wonder if work is being done on the tower you connect to.

I did the same thing in Columbus a few times because the hotel WiFi was so bad...

I never paid for Nextel service, but I had it through work a couple of different times. It served a great purpose and the PTT was awesome, however, that network should have be gone already. If Sprint had started NV two years ago, they'd be on top.

I understand the frustration. I had to get an Airrave for my parents house because the coverage is very spotty where they live. While I wouldn't say my phone is my life, it is always in my hand being used (work, family, friends, etc). If you make a donation, you can see the sponsor maps that have the completed NV sites in the Chicagoland area. There are known issues of calls/service dropping between Legacy and NV towers. There is a good article on this forum from a month or so ago that I'll add in a few minutes. If you become a sponsor, those maps will show you the "good" areas and the "bad" areas. Maybe a slight change in your travel routes might help your dropped call issues a great deal. Or you might learn the current boundaries and be able to stop before a call drops to finish it or advise the other person that you might lose them. I have a couple of areas like that and I always let the person I'm talking to know that they might lose me.

Do you have any upgrades listed on network.sprint.com?

Wow, I don't even want to figure out what Verizon would cost me. What a total screw job to their customers... So I figured it and I would be $40 more, before insurance/TEP, taxes, surcharges, fees, etc.

I thought Ohio markets were all round 3 and currently unplanned. Maybe you are getting some bandaid fixes listed at network.sprint.com, could be additional backhaul, voice or data carriers.

That would be a very poor decision, Sprint is actively accelerating the NV deployment in Chicago due to these issues. Chicagoland will probably have the best Sprint experience for quite sometime when the upgrade is complete.

My Asus Transformer has a rear camera that I think I've used once. I use the FFC for video chat/skype/google+.

Why not just get the Kindle Fire, root it and toss CM9 on there?

I sent Robert a PM incase he missed this thread. Hopefully he can compare the permissions on the forums we've found it to be working with everything else.

I randomly get the attachment button in forum runner pro, haven't figured out the trick yet Edit in: it has to be a permission thing. I have the attachment button in Interactive Maps and Sponsor forums, but no where else that I've spot checked. Robert can you comment? Sent from my CM9 Epic 4g Touch using Forum Runner

I disagree, why not save the cost of another site visit and construction crew when they could hook it all up in a single swoop? I think Clear simply didn't have the money to do it right now. Sent from my CM9 Epic 4g Touch using Forum Runner
