  1. My girlfriend just bought one.  We could only find them in Best Buy Mobile stores (like in the malls).  She actually walked away with a $25 gift card with trade-in and stuffs.

  2. I still had LTE/CDMA enabled, and once i flipped it to CDMA i had data back again.  Odd that i get NO data when LTE/CDMA is enabled though.. I even did a factory reset on my phone thinking something could be toasted..

     

    I appreciate your input CLBowens!

    Yeah, my phone is on CDMA/LTE.

  3. Ok something just happened in the Mayfield Hts area...

     

    At my desk I usually have just enough signal to send and receive text messages, (sometimes I have to retry). Speed tests at my desk are typically just crap. for example, on 06/25/13 - 4:51PM, the BEST I achieved all day was 0.01Mbps UP, 0.02 Mbps DOWN and 1409ms Ping time.

     

    Today I noticed I have 3 bars of signal, typically I have just one bar. So I have been running tests.

     

    The WORST test I have run today @ 4:56PM is 1.03Mbps UP, 0.57 DOWN and 190ms Ping time. My phone has also gotten emails, Words with Friends, Dice with Buddies, and even Facebook IMs.. In the two months that I have been at this job, I have NEVER gotten any of those things at my desk.

     

    Encouraging!

    I also work in the Mayfield Heights area and I tested this morning.  1.3Mbps up, .71 Mbps down.

  4. I live in Elyria near LCCC, and I work in Mayfield Hts.  Every day I drive Abbe to Rt57, to Rt 10, to 480, to 271.  I like to listen to IHeart Radio..  I can't wait for NV to complete.  I never did get Wimax in Lorain county, which was how they sold me the Evo 4g.  Anyhow.....

     

    I get a decent stream until I hit the ValleyView bridge, then my signal just drops.  I also cannot get any phone calls till I get to Garfield Hts exit.  Anyone else seeing this behavior? I have gotten as long as 3842ms ping times (YES 4 digits), .34kbps down and .02kbps up.

     

    I have noticed a HUGE improvement in 3g speeds in Elyria on Abbe Rd. and by Midway Mall.

     

    Also, as an aside, has anyone else seen where if you pass two or more police officers, your calls drop?  This happens to my daughter and me.  She has the new LG Optimus 4g, and I have the SGSIII.  I had the same behavior in these areas when I had my Evo 4g (if i turned of Wimax).

    I drive 480/271 everyday (between Parma and Mayfield Heights.  I usually have no problems, as I regularly listen to Pandora on the route.

  5. I have a question.  When Sprint shuts down the nextel network, will they keep the rural nextel towers to deploy NV?  Where my parents live, they currently have no Sprint coverage.  But according to Sprints coverage maps, there is Nextel coverage there.   So will Sprint re-purpose those towers as Sprint NV 800 1X (and maybe 1900 3G) towers?  Or will they just shut them down, going back to no Sprint coverage there?
