patience. it seems like sprint is in full swing in "THE RESEARCH TRIANGLE"... should see sporatic outages

True, with all of the data outages, yeah it should be launch pretty soon.

I work near 540 and Six Forks. Been getting LTE consistently when I'm outside the office building. Also been getting some LTE along 540 near Leesville. It drops out heading east until I get closer to Six Forks.

 

Running speed tests I am only getting average 9 down and 5 up.

I have never gotten LTE in that area. Always in those area, especially Leesville and 540 heading into Durham. In Cary LTE picks up pretty well, in spots of course.Also, have seen LTE in Charlotte and Huntersville Areas. Haven't seen anything in Raleigh, Morrisville, or Durham. Guess I miss it by the time I look at my phone.

I noticed that LTE was off in North Raleigh this morning and I was getting alot of 1x in the Rex area last night.

LTE in N.Raleigh? Where? I haven't picked up any in N. Raleigh.

Has anyone in N. Raleigh (Near Creedmoor Rd & Crabtree Mall) been having issue with data? Ever since yesterday morning and this morning on my way to work, I couldn't get data. Only the upload light would light up and not the download light, so I couldn't get anything to work. Refreshing the Profile doesn't work, neither does restarting the phone either. When I get near downtown it refreshes itself and starts working again.

Wimax actually works very well downtown. Should see anywhere from 1 to 3 mbps on average. Usually use it over 3g since 3g performance can become unusable during a workday.

ok, cool Thanks! Where I live Wimax can't be used downtown at all. It won't pick up for some odd reason. Raleigh doesn't have many skyscrapers, or anything to block the signal.

If you're wandering the downtown/financial/government district areas speeds might be slow. I generally don't see much above 100 -200 kbps down. That is during the workday though. On weekends it might be faster. If you're anywhere outside of downtown speeds should be better. I usually get in the 500 - 800 kbps range. Still not blazing fast but usable.

Thanks, how does Wimax do, if you can even get it downtown? Might switch phones.

I would have to agree with the last post. In certain neighborhoods of Lowell there is a great 4g signal. You go 2 streets over and you have nothing. I really can't wait for the time when there is full 4g coverage in the entire Greater Lowell area and the Massachusetts 4g market in general.

 

I continue to believe that switching from 3g to 4g is terrible on my battery and if I got a consistent 4g signal my battery life would be better. Especially for those times when I am NOT able to pick up on a wifi signal.

 

Sprint's CDMA signal is proving to be unreliably slow lately in Lowell. 4G LTE however is quick.

Very true, the LTE deployment is like Wimax, you get it for a few steps, then it disappears. I can't wait for the widespread of LTE as well.

Any Updates on NV/LTE coming to Richmond? Going up there this weekend, does anyone know how the 3G speeds are up there?

Went to Boston last weekend, and the 4G coverage is really amazing! Just about everywhere I went. When I left Boston to go to New Hampshire I got 4G from time to time as well.

Apple care has came along way, but still have limitation of what is covered, and what is not. I always throught the TEP was the best option over Apple Care. For the longest Apple wouldn't cover shattered screens and water damaged, and that was the most common isssue with the iPhone. I'm glad Sprint finally has more than one option that you can use through Via Sprint.

F*ing Finally!

Own an iPhone and subscribe to Sprint? Prone to breaking things? We have good news, butter fingers.

Beginning Jan. 25 you’ll be able to sign up for Sprint’s total equipment protection (TEP) insurance plans. Engadget got a hold of the image above, and noted that you’ll likely be responsible for the $150 to $200 deductible should you end up damaging your iPhone. Hey, that’s a lot better than having to replace the device at full cost. Plus, the total equipment protection plan will cost just $11 per month.

The plan will be available for customers within the first 30 days they purchase the device. We’ll keep you up to date as Sprint makes this official.

Early this morning, I got to see a glimpse of 4G. It was around 1:00 AM, and I was on my home. It was between SW Maynard and West Chatham and High House. I couldn't believe my eyes seeing it for the first time. It went back to 3G (5-8 second pause of no data) after a few moments, turned around to catch it again (Even toggled my data and airplane mode), but couldn't get 4G again to test it out.

There are just a few towers completed right now. Production should ramp up this month, and coverage should start spreading more rapidly. Coverage will likely be more widespread in a few months, a bit before summer. (At least that is the hope).

I finally get to see LTE this weekend, going to Atlanta so hopefully I won't be disappointed. I hope T-Mobile don't launch their LTE before Sprint does in Raleigh/Durham. I hope Sprint gets it together soon, because I didn't know how weak the coverage is compared to the other carriers. I hope they enhance everything across the USA Map. Their are so many gaps in the coverage map.

I'm going to have to try the amp chargers. The stock ones take forever in the day to charge.

I used to love HTC, but since the HTC EVO 4G LTE, and almost all of the new HTC One Series are having random issues. I will be leaving HTC alone for a while. HTC better wake up, or they will be on a chopping block and forgotten. I don't know why HTC, Google, and Motorola intend to follow Apple's strategy of no external SD slots, and internal battery inconvenience, it is a waste of time, and I don’t have time for the bullsh*t. The HTC EVO LTE took forever to charge, and was a pain to have to carry the charger around, when you could just carry an extra battery. When I had my iPhone 4S, the phone was having issues charging, but internal battery is convenient, it isn’t at all…..

Nope. Unless I'm on 4g it's almost unusable.

Yeah, even Wimax is hard to get connected to now. I just hope these NV Upgrades are worth the wait in this Market.......

I haven't either, its still pretty bad, and weak. It has its moments getting a little over 1 mbps from time to time. Hope to see better coverage in early 2013.

How is everyone's speeds? I'm still not getting good speed, only once and and a while.

Durham is in the list too.

Cool, the list was just revised, only a few places where on the list.

Finally being announced! It saids Raleigh/Cary, NC! So hopefully RTP so the whole area of Raleigh/Durham

Got some good news today at lunch. I went over to Ten-Ten Rd and 401 at the Hardees there. Sat down, opened the phone, and something caught my eye, something different. It was a 4G symbol!!

 

Tested it out and it was fast. I also sensorly'd around a bit. I noticed 4G lasted about a mile south of Wake Tech, then it switched to 3G. I was on lunch, had to get back to it so i didn't have a ton of time. I am very excited though.

 

As a side question, why do I have to go in and out of Airplane Mode? Seems like the radio should just change over.

 

That's awesome! Probably cause the signal isn't strong enough for it to catch right away. The phones doesn't retry searching for signal as fast as people want it to.

It's ok, but it could be better! Call quality is pretty good, but data on the other hand isn't as good. It gets spotty at times. Love Sprint, but they can do better on coverage.

HTC One X is finally getting it, but overseas. US should get it really soon The EVO should get it soon as well......

Haven't picked up any LTE Signal.....smh...I'm always on the go in the Raleigh and Durham area. Sucks that I guess it comes and goes. You gotta really be looking @ your phone to catch it.

I was with Sprint for 5 years, before I cut them loose. Hopefully once their network is back in a decent working order (Hopefully 2013) I will be back with Sprint. I really do miss the company, and the phones. I believe if Sprint would of planned way ahead, the network wouldn't have been so drained like it is. I'll give Sprint the benefit of the doubt, they are slowly getting it together.......
