  1. I'm 99% sure that they're just marketing their 20x20 AWS network. It's similar to how Verizon labeled and is marketing their 20MHz TDD-LTE network as Spark.

     

    I'm 99% sure that you meant Sprint instead of Verizon in reference to Spark.  ;)  :lol:

    LG G3

    With no word on the release of the G Pro 2, this device looks like it will be FINALLY replacing my Evo4GLTE. I must have an extremely large screen.

    I was all set to pick up the G Flex, then I heard about the G Pro 2 and decided to hold off for a bit. I am loving the leaked pics and rumored specs of the G3, so I will very likely grab the G3 instead.

  2. Just bought one of these this afternoon. It's snappy, fast, and beautiful, and I am loving it! It's also my first tablet, as I haven't seen the need for a tablet due to the size of my Note II. After playing with this in the store, I had to have it. I have yet to put it down! :D

  3. I've hesitated to even post in this thread because, as I told Robert in a reply to a PM I received, I was surprised to begin with to even be on the initial list at all, but even more than that, I was frankly floored/speechless when I saw I was #3---I never in my wildest dreams would have, if asked beforehand, thought I'd have even ranked on that list much less so high.

     

    I 100% echo Ben's comments, and will further state when playing off mike's about stirring up competition (though I'm sure he said it in jest), I for one actually will be extremely proud if/when people bypass me on the ranking of the list, because that will mean more people are stepping up to the plate to help Robert keep the S4GRU ship afloat.  I don't remember now how long it took me from my join date to submit my first donation, but I can tell you as a member here for a year a half now, once I felt compelled to do so, I've never felt compelled to stop supporting the efforts of this place nor never regretted continuing being able to help out in ,what I always thought at the time, was only a small drop in the bucket.   And as I've seen and experienced firsthand the gradual improvements of Network Vision, that certainly has only further bolstered confidence in not only my continual decision to stick with Sprint, but my pride in having found and becoming a member of this place.  

     

    I've said it before and it still rings true, because compared to many other parts of my day, I don't always have alot of time to try and keep up with everything posted here on a day to day basis, much less try and memorize or worse try and retain the things I learn here at any given moment of perusing the forums.  So, I still often time feel in many ways like an uneducated idiot within these virtual walls even after a year and a half.  But even with that said, I have learned an immeasurable amount of information and insight about things that I had literally a blank slate by comparison with prior to coming here.  And the thanks for that are totally a result of what Robert, AJ, and so many others who were regulars/vets here long before I came around have posted and contributed here.

    Here here!

     

    This sums up my thoughts and sentiments pretty well, so I won't bore you all by posting something similar. Also, I don't feel like writing a lengthy post from my Note II, which is what I use for 99% of my S4GRU reading and posting and for 100% of my donating. Mobile phones, FTW!

     

    However, I will once again thank Robert for creating this amazing site and also thank the great staff for keeping things running as smoothly as they do. You all are truly appreciated. As I have told Robert via PM, since I do not have a lot of knowledge or background on the subject matter discussed in many areas on this site, contributing on the financial front is the least I can do. While I don't feel like I deserve any special recognition, it truly is an honor! :tu:

  4. Beaverton is only half setup with LTE. There's still some 3G spots- Murray and Millikan, Costco Aloha and the Cedar Mill area.

    I am well aware of this. However, your primary concern seemed to be regarding triband devices and LTE connectivity, which requires eCSFB. Since the areas you mentioned already have the NV 3G side of things accepted, I expect eCSFB to be launched when those sites are LTE accepted, if not before. If your primary concern is that our market is not yet 100% covered by LTE, then this is the wrong thread for such concern.

     

    To keep us somewhat on topic, once B41 begins to go live, I do not foresee any connectivity issues, as our market is well covered by NV 3G. The only connectivity issue will be with our poor, outdated Note II's. :lol:

  5. That's the theory. But there's an entire eCSFB thread about Triband phones not being able to maintain an LTE connection.

    This should be a non-issue in our area. One of my brothers has had the LG G2 since December. I have yet to hear one complaint from him regarding LTE connectivity.

     

    Any sites that are marked as NV 3G accepted on the NV Sites Complete map should be capable of utilizing eCSFB when LTE is accepted and fired up, as eCSFB only requires a software update. Sites marked as 3G/4G or 3G/800/4G already have eCSFB operating and should be good to go.

     

    Personally, I want a triband phone right now, but am waiting on one that is Note sized. I decided to pass on the HTC One Max and LG G Flex, so we'll see what's next.

  6. Oh, I think the Pokemon is a cool idea. It's the fake gadgets or fake release news, etc. etc.

    Unless they're using these fake gadgets to test the waters on some ideas they have kicking around in product development. Wouldn't surprise me if someone at least looked at the responses to these to see if there is anything worth pursuing.
