Well, I am not being entirely sarcastic.  If you want to pay to bring me to Fort Wayne, we could probably do it.  One of my tutoring students just relocated back to Oklahoma City, and I made two 700 mile roundtrips to meet with him over the past week.  So, I do not mind travel.

 

AJ

Well Shoot cause I know you love to be here. 700 miles what 200$ gas ? lol

I have the authority to make CDMA1X 800 acceptance reports and have made plenty in my home state.  So, if you want more CDMA1X 800 acceptance reports, all you need to do is pay me to come to your town because I have the spectrum analyzer, engineering screen know how, and S4GRU street cred.

 

AJ

Oh damn baller. I like your sarcasm.

I'm with Robert on this. It is much better to know the data you're sharing is completely accurate; relying on user reports to confirm 800 acceptance isn't the best idea. It would be very easy for someone with good intentions and a reasonable amount of technical knowledge to think they are connected to a certain site on 800 and be mistaken. Pictures don't mean much; even if there is something 800-specific that could be spotted, nobody is debating that the equipment is there.. it was installed at the same time all the other stuff was. And of course, just because a site is broadcasting something at that moment doesn't mean it bas been accepted. Lots of variables!

But see, if someone posts pics of a tower with the ID and it broadcasting 800SMR and a month later. Posts an update and it's still live. I think that is credible enough. But I understand  the whole process.

Nope.  Wireless technology is not magic.  It cannot solve all problems, and there is no such thing as a free lunch.  You were practically just out of diapers when I was in college and started using nascent wireless data services in the year 2000.  Max speeds on IS-95 CSD were 14.4 kbps, but it was just as consistent and robust as voice.  Now, we have data speeds 1000x that, but the price we pay is less coverage and a more fragile airlink.  That is the tradeoff.

 

AJ

I know that. But things will get better over time as they always seem to even through problems. Breakthroughs  happen all the time.

The numbers mean essentially nothing.  They are all relative.

 

But a less robust airlink is the price you pay for faster data rates.

 

AJ

the numbers don't, but the speeds do.  I'd rather pay for something I can count on than something that you can hardly count on. There shouldn't be "a less robust airlink is the price you pay for faster data rates." It should be equal with the type of technology and hardware that is being deployed. But i love it lol

CDMA1X is measured via RSSI.  LTE is measured via RSRP.  The two measurements are not exactly comparable.

AJ

Ah a article written by you lol. But it'd be nice if the RSRP could at least match the RSSI strength wise. It sucks to see that 3G can reach so far, but 4G doesn't go AS far. On the same frequency. But I know things will just get better as time goes on

I've noticed that when 1900 voice is around -90DB 4G is around 100-115 or there is no 4G.

If I remember correctly Robert isn't getting the same constant source of 800 activations like he is for 3G and 4G acceptances. So it's entirely possible that there are more 800 acceptances than we realize.

I thought we the people could help him with pictures and proof of a tower with 800 and 4G and ect. But I guess that's not enough lol

"Shit brix," eh?  We are now going to start calling you "Ruby Sue"...

 

 

AJ

I shit brix all the time lol

Think Note 3 instead of Note 2, and you won't be disappointed.

Oh I know. I can't wait for LTE800

with SMR800 I get -80-95 DB in my place.

So I'm hoping lte800 will be the same.

And yes I am getting the Note 3. Either Christmas or black Friday lol. That's when you get the best deals IMO

We've heard from very credible sources about another Samsung Triband device coming other than the Note 3. It seems highly likely it would be the S4 Triband.

 

Robert via Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 using Tapatalk

I would shit brix if both note 2 and GS4 were updated with triband. But I doubt the note 2. But there's like 1% lol. But thanks for the awesome news. I can't wait, my family down in HN is holding out on the triband GS4

Welcome to S4GRu

Don't be afraid to come in the lounge and talk it up lol. People love to talk in there. PS

DOn't be shy and don't be afraid to ask questions ! lol

Enjoy your stay

Smart lol. It's quite interesting here. There are 0 Stealth sites Here... none.. Not even within 30 miles lol

yaa boy. Towers in Huntington/Roanoke have there 4G towers Live. Didn't even have to do a PRL update

Galaxy note 2 is onsale buy 1 get 1 free. Along with GS4 and the HTC one. hmmmm

Lolz, warez, torrentz. Itz juzt all in good funz, rightz?

 

AJ

And maybe the iPhone 5S. So much is up in the air right now.

what is this 2010?

I think so.

I know if they have phones in stock they are returned. If they have a quite a few in stock that are returns or damaged, the backs get switched.

Well then, it is YOU I look forward to hearing from ahead of my purchase of a tri-band Note III.

LOL. I'll be right there with ya!!

Whoa! Is there something you haven't told us? Uh.

 

And I'm the FCC OET reporter. I'm keeping a good eye on it all the time. I'm not going to keep any of you out of the loop. I promise.

Lolz No. I just like to have some fun xD. not like that fun you're thinking of lol.

And Oh I know lol. it'll be the best news of the month/day/week  can't wait!

Guys, unless you are interested in a mobile router from BandRich in Taiwan, nothing that supports the Sprint PCS G block has been authorized this month.  So, cool your jets.

 

We are on top of this.  If anything Sprint noteworthy comes through the FCC OET, you will hear about it here, in detail, within the day.

 

AJ

wow thanks Captain Aj. I love you

You guys are comedians.

Well I mean the point of Sprint buying into a revised s4 would be for the purpose of allowing more access to more sprint users onto the new LTE bands. My s3 even supports 800smr, but not lte 800.

I know what ya mean. It would have been nice if they would have added lte800 support aswell lol

This is just an international version of the s4. Sprint can definitely get themselves a variant - if they wanted to. There's hardly any 800mhz or 2600mhz LTE so there's little incentive for them to carry it now.

I have 800smr here but most phones atm support it and I get 75DB at home lol

Pump the brakes.... the doc shows LTE Band 5.

That's why i said if it's lol
