    There are 3 or 4 in the KC area.

    I think in the KC area, a lot of the Clearwire towers \ sites are co-located on Sprint towers \ sites. I'm pretty sure the Sprint tower at 69 and 103rd has Clearwire equipment also.

    I noticed it happens more if I hit the power button to shut the screen off. If I let the screen turn off on it's own, I don't typically have an issue.

    I am glad you added the 800 1xRTT alert. Love the app. Good Work! Yesterday I was sitting at lunch in a place I never had LTE before (ironically it was right across the street from the Sprint Center) when I heard the chimes. I also was at the Royals game last night where I hadn't had LTE before, granted I haven't been out there since last fall, when the chimes went off again. Such a sweet, sweet sound. Thanks again for the great app.

    People tend to be very loyal to one state or the other. I'm a Kansas guy who lives on the south side so my knowledge is more so in that area. I typically have pretty good signal when I'm out and about. Anytime you head deep into a big building like home depot or a walmart, LTE tends to fall off. I have the evo LTE which doesn't have very good RF performance so that might be part of it. As for google fiber, Kansas city Kansas (West side of town) is currently getting fiber installed. KC MO is also moving along. It was recently announced that Olathe ( Kansas suburb on the south west side) will be next. I'm guessing Overland Park (Kansas, south side where the Sprint Campus is located) and Leawood (Kansas South side) won't be far behind. Unfortunately, Olathe is probably 2 years out. I'm not sure if you have kids or not, but Olathe and Blue Valley school districts are really good.

    I haven't heard anything, but would definitely be interested if they did. If I had to guess, i would say not this year, but maybe next year if the One is successful.

    I use it daily also. I'm trying feedly, but not sure I like it. If anyone finds any other readers that they like please mention them on this thread.

    My wife has the S3 and I have the Evo LTE. She might get a little better signal, but it's not by much. My OG Evo was better than both of the new phones. I do love move Evo LTE and every time I pick up my wife's S3 I can't for the life of me figure out why people like Samsung phones. In my opinion Sense is a lot better than Touchwiz. It really surprises me more people don't like HTC. Slap some 800/2500 on the new phone and I'm with you, time to trade up.

    I experienced the same thing at work last week. The tower has been listed as having LTE complete for the past couple of weeks but I could never connect. LTE signal would show up in the app, but the phone would never connect. Today, I was able to connect to LTE for the first time. My guess is that when the towers are blocked, the phone still picks up the signal, it just can't connect.

    Is it possible they are waiting until new phones that have 800 LTE and \ or Clearwire's LTE built in before reinstating the program?
  11. shawn_kc
    Right you are ken. For some reason i thought it had the megapixel before. Thanks.
  12. shawn_kc
    Has anyone noticed the image resolution option is gone from the camera settings? I can't find it anywhere. My wife's S3 has it listed by the video quality, but my evo does not.
  13. shawn_kc
    That article is over a year old. Things a lot since then.
  14. shawn_kc
    To bad they didn't get it up and running before the fair.

    I'm sure most companies have home grown software for monitoring, analyzing and evaluating the network. I was at a Microsoft meeting where some new technologies were being presented, and there were a few people from Sprint there. They were trying to build a system to help them determine how to help with roaming costs. As far as doing something specific with the network, then a telecom background would probably be better.
  16. shawn_kc
    For LTE, 1xA is already being deployed.
  17. shawn_kc
    I was kidding \ hoping the issue is resolved with Jelly Bean.
  18. shawn_kc
    It hasn't been posted yet. Here is an article on the htc one xl stating sometime in October. If that's the case, then hopefully sometime in November for the evo. http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-one-xxl-jelly-bean-updates-tipped-october-release
  19. shawn_kc
    I've got it. The fix is in Jelly Bean.
  20. shawn_kc
    That is awesome!!

    I think Sprint put a lot into the Wimax deployment done by Clearwire, which helped in areas where you could get a signal. Unfortunately, their network didn't receive the attention it needed. They are now trying to correct the issue. NV is a huge project that should resolve the data issues in most cases. I believe NV will also give Sprint more proactive monitoring of their towers performance so hopefully they can fix issues before people notice.
  22. shawn_kc
    Wimax was rolled out by Clearwire, not Sprint. Sprint LTE will be better because it will be on their towers, which will put LTE almost everywhere evdo is located. The biggest problem with the data speeds is backhaul to towers. As part of the NV, the backhaul will be upgraded, which will fix a big part of the data speed issues. Currently, most of the tower backhaul are T1s. The data limit on a T1 is about 1.4 meg. The requirement for the new backhaul is somewhere around 300 to 400 meg. There are some other things that could be causing the data issues, but lack of backhaul bandwidth is by far the biggest issue.

    Bear in the air. Got my buddy. Said a plane clocked him RT @yzcmjm: @kccheckpoint two mo state troopers nb I35 between armour and parvin.

    Sedalia is the location of the Missouri State Fair. I'm guessing that was the reason the little town getting LTE. Different vendors are doing different locations so even if the guys in Georgia started somewhere else, it wouldn't be on the West Coast. The slow data is rough. I deal with the same thing in downtown KC, and have for awhile. I know that the tower I connect to ( in the sponsor section) is scheduled to get upgraded in August, which won't happen since the month is over, but at least I know is getting close.
  25. shawn_kc
    It happens to me also. Sometimes without ever having 4g, it'll go from 3g to 1xrtt and stay there. I have to reboot or toggle the data connection for it to get back to 3g.
