  1. Site by my work. It looks like NV panels and ruu's are installed I believe. Took this April first https://www.dropbox.com/sc/yy77jafv0mrund2/KbZmgIyAv6 and took these today https://www.dropbox.com/sc/y85ehfy3olbugj6/OjpWIbZMH2. Sorry the crappy rain weather plus the combination of the evo lte camera does not mix well on that second pic. But comparing pics they have definitely added ruu's and new panels to the bottom row which I believe are Sprints because I've seen those Ruu's before they have bright green lights on the bottoms of them. It fits the profile. Can anyone tell me if I'm right.
  2. My eHRPD speeds are actually worse than my evdo speeds somehow. I will show you proof if I need too. Also I'm not free. Its called a contract and I'm not paying to leave them because there service deteriorated over time. That same tower I took the evdo speeds on I used to get 2-2.5 down at 3am on evdo or ehrpd. Throw a false coverage map saying I have best coverage for LTE when I have none and tech support that I have more knowledge than and I get fustrated. The nexus 7 LTE will resolve my experience with Sprint but no release date on that has me aggravated like the world does not want me to have LTE on any carrier
  3. My ec/lo is between 0.5-1.5 and my dBm is usually on evdo around 68-87 dBm and I rarely get speeds like that. It is a legacy tower though so yeah http://db.tt/wh5NGV7H
  4. I'd these are the kind of speeds I get in a rural area at 330am with a 73 dBm signal then I am not impressed with the quality of this network. http://db.tt/HN28qa0F however these that I took in the city was impressive http://db.tt/h5QhpQaA
  5. No at my house the lte signal is 130 so my phone can't get it. My girlfriend has a gs3 that occasionally picks up LTE but its unusable and usual goes back to 3g in a few seconds
  6. 6 LTE acceptance reports in the month of August does not support your theory of picking up the pace. I see the pace actually degrading probably because the city has been launched already so some of the pressure is off of Sprint's back.
  7. Yeah they do. I am riding my contracts out as well. First one ends Nov 7th the other May 18 but I plan on paying the 100 dollar end of termination fee in December especially if tmobile beats sprint to LTE coverage in my area. HTC does need to focus on that two but I just don't like the galaxy phones for some reason. I will only choose between HTC, or the note 2, or Sony if Sprint ever decides to get one
  8. I have been to Gainsville, and St Augustine this month and I don't see anything new. I am going to Jax beach next weekend and Tampa the first week of August. I have suspicion that there is live TD LTE in Jax though.
  9. Seems to be the first LTE drought since the rollout began. I have been to like 10 towers, looked at permits and everything and I came up with nothing. I don't like this game lol
  10. Anyone see some new sites that Rob Da Don doesn't have on the map? Only 6 LTE acceptances for the whole Jax market in the month of August has me worried as normally if I find a LTE tower live then Rob Da Don nomally has the acceptance report that day or maybe a day or two earlier.
  11. Last 5 mins of that show last week had me sweating like I was involved lol. I feel the same way though. I had no idea how many times I go into building I actually use 1xRTT instead of EV-DO but thanks to the signal check pro app I realize I was on super slow 2.5G instead of 3G but there have been plenty of times I have had 68-75dbm on EV-DO and had usless data. I went into a Sprint store to check out the Red HTC One today which was very nice. I found that there store had terrible 3G speeds and no LTE even though they are covered on the map. One Galaxy S4 was trying to get a LTE signal from a far away tower but it was unusable. Somehow the Sprint Store was packed. Probably because of back to school and the BOGO deals doing on.
  12. That guy was lying. Sprint is roughly only 55% finished with the Orlando market and even after that they stillf have to go back and do cdma 800, LTE 800 and LTE 2500. Every florida market will not be completely finished until 3rd or even 4th quarter next year.
  13. If your service is that bad and your tired of sprints promises that it can't keep or takes a long time to execute I would switch and comback in a year when the network is a different animal. When its said and done I think At&t and Sprint will be the two best data providers of the big 4. Jacksonville market is going very slow averaging less than 50 LTE sites a month so I see the frustration. I'm upset to because they listed my area as a fair LTE coverage area and I checked back yesterday and now all of a sudden its a BEST LTE coverage area and we don't get LTE inside or out which is ridiculous they can get away with lying that bad.
  14. Us phone geeks take great care of our phones. There is virtually no signs of wear and tear on my EVO LTE. When I got my nexus 7 it ran circles around my EVO. I don't like to play high graphic games on my EVO because it drops frames, makes my phone extremely hot to the point where I have to put it down and battery life is not all that. So if I had some extra money to drop I would do this. One thing that sucks is the evo LTE did not hold its value and its going for only $230-280 on craiglist
  15. If I had that kind of money to blow I would likely be on At&t instead of Sprint then came back when network vision was mostly done lol
  16. I want this phone so bad but since its not triband and 6 months old I can't justify this purchase for me anyway
  17. From what I've seen in this rollout the most improtant and saturated towers are some of the last to be updated because they don't want to disrupt service for that many people. It sucks but that's how they are doing it. From what I've experienced they will launch cities and don't care if the more imprortant parts of the city are covered but the thing that gets me is they exaggerate their coverage map for LTE to the extreme.
  18. Tampa is further along with network vision that anywhere else in Florida including Miami area.
  19. It does seem like it stopped for the jax market and only 3g upgrades are going in
  20. My EVO LTE always holds a LTE signal until 120dbm I actually get 2-3mpbs down with a 109dbm signal. What's up with your phone because something don't add up unless every phone acts different even if its the same phone model It varies with phone and location. But, LTE quite often becomes about worthless around a -109 or -110. You can receive data at those levels, but your transmit signal just does make it to the cell site and be useable. I actually am OK with seeing the LTE drop off and then see the phone lock on to EVDO. The EVDO will actually work better. I am now thinking that the HTC EVO LTE phone actually had it right. Just drop off LTE at -109 and forget about it. Some of the other phones hold on down to -125 or so and it gives you trouble because it is not going to work at those levels. The HTC phone was heavily criticized because it dropped off LTE at a -109 while the other phones held on to the LTE. This made HTC look bad. But while the other phones might have held on to the LTE, it did not work. It is more useful if the phone allows the LTE to drop and gives you EVDO.
