This could give credence to the whole Note 7 4x4 idea, although this is for the S7 only right now.

Is there ever any possibility that some cells on a tower aren't on? I'm looking at JA03XC081 next to Riverside Park. I can see the radio, it is probably about 600 feet away and I'm getting about -85 dbm on 4G and about -75 3G/1X. These cells are on top of a roof. Two appear to facing my general direction. Google earth says there are some on the other corners of the building facing other directions. If I walk 3 blocks west, I loose signal. I even walked in the direction where there was no tall building blocking the direction and it still drops fairly dramatically. Doesn't seem like it should behave that way to me.

Looks like the tower by Riverside Park is about to come up. Phone keeps going to LTE but there is no traffic passing. Full signal bars, about -74 dBm. After a few minutes it reverts to 3g, but it says EvDo under network type instead of eHRPD. I'm using a Note 2 FYI. It will do go back to LTE if I turn airplane mode off and on.

I hope not, I'm in the Riverside area. Haven't seen anything yet.

Well seems as if the back haul is ready faster at sites outside the city or maybe they are working from the outside in to the city like they did with the Chicago market.
